    Montreal smoked meat hash
    Isabella F.

    I tried to think of one single reason why I shouldn't give them a 5 star rating and I got nothing. From the service to the food, 5/5!

    Cutest diner on the block. There were so many things we wanted to try. The ABC burger was super tasty and generous. The meat tasted fresh. The avocado was fresh and bacon crispy. The smoked meat eggs benny was fabulous. Both came with super yummy pan fried unlimited hash browns. Great presentation. Service was friendly and timely. Can't wait to return!

    We had breakfast here before heading to Downhill Karting. After looking at other breakfast places, we decided to give this one a try after seeing their menu and other pictures posted. We were happy to have chosen to eat here. We got items such as the Calgary Breakfast Sandwich, Galaxie French Toast, Blackstone Benedict, and the ABC Burger (since breakfast or lunch are options). Even though there is an option for bottomless hash browns, we were full from the initial plate.

    Located in a trendy area of the Beltline. The ambiance is very old school diner, small but comfortable. I sat on the bar. The service was prompt and very friendly. I ordered the French toast with the hash potatoes. The french toast were topped with berries. The french toast was underwhelming. I would say a bit bland. The potatoes were delicious and filling. Overall the restaurant has decent food for decent prices. Service is the stat here which seems strange to me.

    A retro looking diner that you would pass right by if you didn't know about it. Music from The Temptations, Tina and Edwin Starr playing. Right away, a bingo. Each booth has its own little juke box. Remember those, all of you old people Iike myself, reading this? We had the kalamara eggs with spinach, sun dried, and feta. Big portions and excellent. Staff great. AND Bazooka bubble gum with the check!!

    My first time going to this place and wow! Loved the food and the interior of the building. The portions were a perfect size, not too big nor too small. Service was amazing! Didn't get the name of the workers that served myself and my friend.

    This little hole in the wall spot was suggested to us by a friend. It's a super small place inside but looks very retro and hipster. They even have a really cute pickup window to grab your food and shakes to go. We came for breakfast here and it was pretty yummy. The coffee was decent, the milkshakes were super yummy, the food was good too. We ordered the huevos rancheros which was basically a flour tortilla with 2 over easy eggs on top, a bit of pico de gallo, 1/2 an avocado, delicious toasted bread, and house made hashbrowns. It's not your typical huevos rancheros and I added some hot sauce to spice it up but it was good. I didn't eat the tortilla because it really didn't add any flavour to the eggs so I just left that part. The hashbrowns were delicious tho and the bread was tasty too. The other members of my party ordered the other dishes and I did try a bit of the Pacific Omelete which was the one with smoked salmon and wow was it ever delicious! I would probably order that with a side of hollandaise sauce next time. The hollandaise was really yummy as well and one of the best I've tasted. We opted to eat at the park across the street because the restaurant is super tiny and we had a lot of people. It was a really wonderful start to our day. The service is great there too!! Friendly, knowledgeable, and totally cool!!!

    Galaxie Diner has been around for ages. It is loved by the neighboring locals. My sister recommended this place and she said it is one of the best brunch places in town. It is not fancy but it has the old style diner feel. They maintained the way it looked when it first opened its door. I came here with a friend who came from Vancouver to visit. I got the salmon omelette with white bread and hashbrown. I also got the strawberry milkshake to go along with it. Wow the salmoon omelette is super delicious. It is fully loaded with a generous amount of smoked salmon spilling out on the side. Toast and hashbrown are bottomless. Their toast and hashbrown are super delicious. Their portion to begin with is already super big, I can't go for more hashbrown. The strawberry milkshake is super delicious. They gave me a generous portion. Everything here are super fresh. The place is always super busy and usually requires waiting for table. Also the place is quite small too. We came super early at 10 am and we still had to wait about 20 mins. The wait is totally worth it. This is one of the best brunch places in town and I highly recommend trying their food.

    I've been meaning to try this place for a long time and I finally got to go. It was quite busy but it makes sense given how good it was! I was planning on trying their omelettes (which I've heard are amazing) but I couldn't resist ordering the French Toast after reading the description! I'm usually not a sweet breakfast person but I had to try it. It was sooo yummy, and filling! The atmosphere was great and so was the service. I really liked the overall vibe of the place. If you try to go and end up having to wait it is definitely worth the wait :)

    Pacific Omelette
    Jaden B.

    This review is based on my entire experience- if it was based solely on the food alone it would be given a 5 star review because when I went here the first time I had the eggs benedict on a toasted croissant then when I cam here the second time I had the pacific omelette which was absolutely amazing! It was 3 eggs with smoked salmon, spinach and cream cheese. There was so much salmon in here it was absolutely delicious and it came with a side of hash browns and toast. It lost some stars because it is a very small diner with very limited seating and it is also a very popular establishment so having very few tables means it is a long wait. The decor in the restaurant adds well to the theme. In addition to this they have many homemade delicious milkshakes and the unfortunate part is that they only have plain coffee and no lattes or anything .

    Malted milkshake with omelette of choice, served with hashbrowns and multigrain toast

    Casual breakfast/brunch restaurant. Parking was easy and cheap to find. Literally parked across the street and walked down to the place in 2 minutes. It's a retro styled diner. We came about 11:30 in the morning and it wasn't very busy. We were greeted and seated ASAP as soon as we got in. Their menu is amazing! You get unlimited coffee and tea, and also unlimited hashbrowns and toast. I ordered a large Omelette of Choice, and choose the cheese, ham, Montreal smoked meat (which came from the shop next door), and sautéed mushrooms as my filing. They're very generous with their portions and their omelette of choice comes with plenty of other toppings. Usually, I stay a bit peckish after a meal but I had trouble finishing my eggs, along with my sides, so I was very full! Their malted milkshake is to die for! Out of all the milkshakes I ever ordered, theirs was simply the best! It was good enough that after a sip of mine, a friend ordered one to go for later. Will definitely visit again!

    Best brunch restaurant I've been to. The food was delicious, and we only waited for 10 minutes. Ive tried so many other brunch places and they're all mediocre but I'm happy to finally find a great restaurant!! Very good prices and it is very cute inside.

The restaurant is in a strip mall anchored by a Superstore and fairly new. It's great to see amenities popping up around that area. Parking was plentiful. Walking inside brought you back to the past with a diner type vibe. You line up to order and then sit down and they bring the food to you. You have option of pre-set burgers or build your own with what toppings and sauces you like. They also have combos where you can add a side and drink. My wife decided to get a single build your own cheeseburger so she could customize it. The kids ordered the Classic combo (one with onion rings and vanilla milkshake and the other with fries and Orange Fanta to share). I decided on the haddock. Food was so good. Fries were crisp and moist inside. Onion rings were crunchy. The family thoroughly enjoyed the burgers. The haddock was great but could use a bigger patty (the bun was bigger than the patty). Place is open and reminds of a diner. My son and I even watched them flip the burgers which was cool. A few tables to sit down and eat. Staff were friendly. We saw quite a few pick-up orders. We will definitely be back.

Btw I was a class clown love the name of this burger joint from entry to exit the hollistic about experience is engaging and stimulating. From the bright neon lights of the out door signage to the double entry passage, this 70's blue collar kitchy decor and mood lighting and just overall chill vibe had me telling myself I haven't been to a cooler burger joint than today! Drink selection is screaming "you will not be found wanting" they had sodas, juices, liquor, beer, mutha effing wine! Wine!!! I saw the little fridge with all the wines and I knew right then and there this place was special as Class Clowns customers came from all walks of life. Sitting there I noticed I wasn't the only solo missionary to satisfy our hunger. I also saw two tables of young collage aged friends, a small table with two pairs of couples, and two mature couples. I wasn't fortunate enough to witness anyone order a glass of wine wine with their meal. But none the less We all gathered in union under the class clown roof to fill our bellies. I ordered a lager pointed into a frosted mug. Pounded that early and just enjoyed water cuz DUI's aren't ever coo. By the time I was half way done with my beer the burger and fries were arrived and my eyes couldn't believe how beautiful it all looked together. the fries were barely able to fit in the bowl topped with this sweet and savory meaty meat sauce giving a sloppy Joe type vibe, for some reason I was expecting a Detroit style chili with some heat on it but that's okay cuz I'm in Calgary Canada and when in Calgary... the fries were the old skool crinkle with amazing crispy and snap even with the meat sauce it didn't get soggy. The fries despite not aligning with my anticipated flavor it was amazing and a must get side order when coming here! The dounke burger looked too sexy to mess with, from the toasted sesame bun, the melted gooey sliced American cheese, grilled sliced onions, shredded lettuce, and the main event the smashed burger but not paper thin was still able to have an amazing crispy edge and texture all the while maintaining juiciness. Close your eyes take a bite and one would feel transported to sunny Southern California but in reality its home is in Calgary spoiling and making these "calgarians" proud! The service was fast amazing and chill! The ladies made sure everyone was taken care of I can't wait to get back to Calgary and Class Clown burgers definitely will be one of my first stops!

The place is easy to find an near 16th avenue but parking is a challenge as there is limited 2 hour street parking. It's in a residential area so there are lots of permit parking. It's a nice little corner restaurant with lots of seating on patio and also inside. One thing that struck us is the place is super clean and we liked that the restaurant had sustainability practices in place. For example, there is no garbage - only recycling and compost. All their cups and burger boxes are all compostable. They also provided a water dispenser to fill up your water bottles or compostable cup (provided). I even saw outside they had little bowls so even your furry friends can have water. This restaurant, you order at the counter, they give you a buzzer and when food is ready you pick it up. We had 3 Double Empire burgers with cheese, 1 Empire burger with cheese, and order of fries to share, and a chocolate milk share. Also, took advantage of complimentary water and I dispensed waters for the table. Everything was really fresh and tasted great. Burgers had great flavour and didn't fall apart. The fries were nice and crispy with warm soft center. The milkshake was great and not super sweet albeit a bit small. Staff were friendly - they all said bye to us, when we left, like they appreciated us being there. Great food, inviting space, and sustainability practices all make this a 5* review.

The problem was that I thought it was only open after 5p when I don't like to eat heavy things like burgers.

First thing is that unlike at nearby Class Clown, you can get your food to go (yeah I don't get it either, how CC doesn't let you order to go), and I got the standard cheese burger (OG Smashie) and a side of regular fries, which came to $18.50. Food was ready in maybe 10 minutes and I walked it home. It was AMAZING. Fries are beautiful even though they didn't hold up well in the 15 or so minutes it took me to get home in -15, but still, delicious skinnier fries clearly made from proper potatoes and just very impressive. The burger was beautiful!!! Gorgeous smashed patties, beautifully dressed, more than I can ask for in a burger and now it's tied with iyycburg for my favourite in Calgary. It's... unctuous. It's good they're open for lunch only three days a week because I could eat this every day and that might not be the best thing for me. But it is tremendous.

Overall, I've always liked the place -- but there's one employee who consistently ruins the experience. The bigger guy working there -- you know exactly who I'm talking about -- has a terrible attitude every single time. No reason for it. This was the last straw. I came in around 9pm with my girlfriend. The place was nearly empty -- maybe three couples total. He immediately told me, "Sorry man, can't help you, we're way too busy. It's going to be an hour and a half." That made zero sense. I pointed out that the place was basically empty, and he doubled down saying they had too many online orders. That just felt like a lazy excuse to not deal with us. When his coworker looked like he was definitely about to take my order. It's frustrating because the rest of the staff has always been great, but this one person consistently treats customers poorly and doesn't seem interested in doing his job. At this point, I'm done. I won't be coming back or spending another dollar here unless something changes. A good business shouldn't let one employee drag down the entire experience like this. Since the old manager left, the place has clearly gone downhill. The only people consistently doing a great job are the ladies in the kitchen -- they're always friendly and actually make a solid burger. That said, the larger male staff member I mentioned should not be representing this business.
