I love OEB, it's reliable, especially for us gluten free folk. Swung in here before a cheer competition and while we had a bit of a wait, everything else was speedy. The hostess was honestly impressive; kind, efficient, and somehow managing a revolving door of customers, food delivery people, and delivering food. I had the GF waffle with bacon and eggs. Perfection. And a large side of fruit that sealed the deal. The blueberry chicken bangers are absolutely a must try, by the way. read more

We walked in for brunch on a weekday morning and were excited to try their interesting poutine and Benedict options. Unfortunately, nothing hit the mark. The hollandaise sauce was thin, bulgogi was too sweet, and poutine was a bland mess. It was all edible, just not enjoyable. We left a lot of food on the table and wouldn't be eager to recommend this spot. read more

OEB Breakfast Co. - Kelly Ramsey Review Visited on a Sunday morning with our group of four -- as expected, the place was packed! Pro tip: definitely use Yelp to get on the waitlist about an hour ahead. I checked in early, so even though there was a 45-minute quote, we only waited about 15 once we arrived. Ambience & Service: The vibe here is great -- stylish, lively, and full of energy. Service was friendly and prompt throughout our meal. A solid start with some good coffee and the premium orange juice, which was fresh and flavorful. Food Rundown: * I had the Blue Crab Eggs Benedict -- served on a croissant, which was a nice touch. The crab was tasty, but I did get a small bit of shell, and the portion size wasn't huge. Overall, decent but not amazing. * My wife ordered the French Toast and wasn't a fan -- it had a hint of orange flavor that didn't quite land for her. Our son finished it off and thought it was okay, just not a standout. * Our son also had the Traditional Eggs Benny (also on a croissant), which he enjoyed. Worth Noting: We've been to another OEB location before and had their breakfast poutine, which we all preferred over what we had this time around. Final Thoughts: Still a great brunch spot with a fun atmosphere and solid service. Might just choose different menu items next time. Worth the visit -- just plan ahead if you're coming on the weekend! read more

Love OEB. It's my favourite go-to breakfast place. I've tried a wide range of items and each has always exceeded my expectations.

We came here our first Saturday morning in Edmonton. Yelp waitlist and we were seated almost immediately! The service from Christopher was top notch! He made sure to let us know the area of Edmonton, and even gave us some tips on places to visit! He was very well spoken, and knew the menu well. Unfortunately, their Latte machine was down, but the food made up for that! I ordered the breakfast poutine with bacon, hollandaise, and poached eggs, and it was incredible! The music and overall feel to this restaurant is very welcoming. The only unfortunate part was having quite a few homeless people coming in and out of the restaurant, one homeless man tried walking into the kitchen and then sat in the booth next to us. Luckily security was able to get him out fairly quickly, but this happened a few times during our meal. Other than that this place is 10/10. Thank you Christopher! read more

I was really excited at trying this restaurant but was really disappointed. I ordered the Buttermilk Pancakes and a side of Potatoes through Door Dash. The pancakes were really dense and flavourless. I could barely get past the first bite. Tossed them out into the trash. What a waste and disappointment! Side potatoes were just fried potatoes that you would get at any deli or from your grocery freezer. They were a bit more edible. I managed to eat some. Had to eat something as I was just recovering after spending some time in the hospital. Not sure how their other breakfast items are but this was a huge disappointment! read more

Food was good, on par with other OEB locations in the city. Service was horrendous. Our server showed up 20 minutes after we were seated to asked if we wanted waters, then had another guy bring it to us 5 minutes later. Give another 10 minutes before the original server came back to finally take our orders. During the half hour time it took for this guy to show up we saw another table by us also get ignored by the same server. But they were fortunate enough to get the attention of some other workers to get their orders in, while my partner and I sat there looking like part of the restaurant decor instead. What's even more interesting, our server was attentive and engaging to his other tables, he just couldn't be bothered to interact with us and the one other table. Won't be back to this location, I'd rather make the extra drive for the 124th St. location. read more

The place is cutely decorated with some obvious flair for chickens and eggs! There's a lot of types of seating! Inside and outside available! The staff seem a little all over in customer service! Barely saw our server, but there were a lot people to help us! The food was completely different than anything I've ever eaten, IN A GOOD WAY!!! Delicious!!! The iced tea I had was fresh and tasty! Clean restrooms! Street parking in downtown is sparse, but not impossible! read more

Delicious poutines. Best croque madame ever. Large portions are good for sharing but why would uou want to? This local chain originated in calgary and i always had to wait over an hour to get a seatat this amazing brunch spot. Probably 10 years later andits still the same if not even busier bc more people know about it now. My favourite brunch spot in Yeg. I personally like this location out of all the Edmonton locations because the staff are a bit more friendlier here. Food is instagram picture perfect but also tastes amazing. I love the classic gold digga poutine which is drenched in hollandaise sauce. But I think my favourite dish is the croque madame. They use manchego cheese!!! My pro tip is to get a side of potatoes and share a poutine bc it is alot for just one person. And if you're still hungry order another dish and share it. Everything is good here. Farm fresh eggs. Fresh veggies. Local breads. And the best hollandaise. If you are looking to brunch in edmonton or calgary this is the place to go to. Don't miss it!!! read more

Joined the waitlist through Yelp on a Saturday afternoon. Party of 2 and the wait wasn't long at all... maybe 2 mins! Everyone was so kind, our server Christopher was awesome!! He recommended some good local spots for us to see while we were in Canada. I ordered some fresh OJ and the classic breakfast. Their latte machine was down which was a bummer, but the food was so delicious it made up for it. My scrambled eggs were incredible, the server added some fresh cracked pepper and I ate them on my sourdough rye bread! YUM!! The bacon & potatoes were SO GOOD! I had a side of fresh fruit & a whole avocado. The portions were perfect here. I ate everything on my plate! It's a very cozy feel in here with cute decor, grass, mirrors and more. The only downside was how many homeless people kept coming in and disturbing the staff- one tried to go in the kitchen then sat right next to me. It caused quite the scene but security was quick to kick them out. It was a bit disturbing so I guess that's expected with every downtown city wherever you go. I would come back to this location based on the food and service alone. Keep up the amazing work! 10/10! read more

The lobster and shrimp crepe is DELICIOUS. Who would've known seafood and eggs in a crepe, with some absurdly yummy sauce on top was going to turn into one of my most favorite brunch items? I would've lost that bet. Mimosas come in at $7 with 4 different juice choices, along with some other alcoholic bevvies, if you are feeling it. I chose the option that sounded delicious but also the most unique, and OEB came through and did not disappoint. read more

This is one of my go-to breakfast places when I have a meeting downtown. I always make a reservation as it can get busy. It's usually not too bad that I can overhear conversations at tables nearby. I have had the salmon eggs benedict and classic breakfast with blueberry chicken bangers. Both were very tasty breakfast choices that didn't leave that heaviness of a greasy spoon-type breakfast. I also liked that the food isn't based on big breakfast huge portions but a balance of good food that's filling and not fat-laden. I will definitely go back again! read more

Yelp wait list feature worked great on a busy Sunday morning. The place was packed but everything went smoothly. The decor is cute with egg light fixtures and airy modern touches. Our party of 4 ordered different items from crepes to waffles to scramblettes and all were delicious. The lattes were fast to come out and tasty. A little weird they leave salt on the tables but you have to ask for pepper. Worth the wait for a nice brunch with friends. read more

Great service and great food. Use the yelp waitlist on the app works great! Street parking is close but it's not free on sundays and they were issuing tickets read more

This is one of the finest breakfast/brunch places in YEG. It is hard to find a seat here, so I recommend making reservations. The staff is gear and super friendly. Their food is delicious and healthy. I tried A-Lott-A-Lakks bowl, potatoes were crisp, eggs were a perfect medium with a runny yolk and the salmon was delicious as always. Great place to sit in downtown and Windermere, with lots of sunlight. Take your visitors! read more

We sat out on the patio on a beautiful Sunday morning. The food was, as always, incredible. Large portion and nice and hot. The biggest problem with our visit was the service. Our server could have cared less about us. I had to ask 3 times for a coffee refill and she forgot cutlery when she brought us food and left us waiting almost 10 minutes with food in front of us, but no cutlery. I think next time we'll try a different location. read more

Food was amazing, door guy was so accommodating, waitress so funny and kind (Krissy? I think?)

We went for a family day brunch, and nothing was the same, they changed the menu and with that the quality of the dishes. Same plates with lower quality does not make sense and of course the taste won't be there. Our favorite plate there was the Golden digger, and we were amazed for how big the pork chunks were and the duck fat used to fry the potatoes, but this time really nothing tastes the same. it was a total disappointment ! read more

I've been here a number of times now and I've honestly been quite happy. I mean I do love breakfast food and not only does this restaurant have a good array of options for the diverse crowd that I have brought here, but the service is quick and good, the food is delicious, and the location is centrally located with ample parkade options nearby and transit options as well. At an easy walking distance from many downtown offices and whatnot this is a great place for a workday brunch or lunch and the food is quite good. I don't come here quite frequently enough to have picked up gift certificates for this place but I'm half tempted to buy some as it really truly is delicious. read more

I have been wanting to try OEB for ages.... Never seem to be able to get in, it's sooo popular. I had a weekday off and waited until after lunchtime and was able to walk in to the downtown location. It lived up to the long awaited, much ado'd expectations. The place is open airy, tables comfortably far enough apart, bright, busy, background noise but not so much that it's overwhelming, table talk was just fine. Parking on the street is paid or in a nearby parkade. The food was awesome. I had the croque madame and companion had the perogies and duck. I should mention that the water was really good, perhaps it's distilled. Portions are large. The service was lovely, friendly, attentive and efficient. I look forward to going back to try other things on the menu. read more

While I've been to other OEB locations multiple times, I recently visited the downtown location for the first time and was happy to find out that it meets the same high standards other locations have set for me. The space is bright with high ceilings and has a great, comfortable vibe for brunch. OEB is always busy so make sure to get there early if you want to be seated right away. You can also join the waitlist on Yelp before you get there which will save you some waiting around time. The first big win for me was the pineapple grapefruit oasis drink I had with my meal. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol but this flavourful mocktail really hit the spot. I'm definitely going to try to recreate it at home. Choosing a breakfast item was a bit tougher as I am currently doing the "veganuary" challenge so options were limited but I ended up being very happy with the chia seed pudding. Even if you aren't vegan, it's a great option if you want something fruity and light. My husband enjoyed one of their breakfast poutines. Heads up to vegans/vegetarians - their hashbrowns are cooked in beef tallow by default so make sure to specifically request vegetarian potatoes when you place you order. In the past they used duck fat so I'm a bit curious why they switched to beef. read more

Great spot to grab some food! A nice and quaint spot to catch up with friends or even grab a bite alone. Our server Ethan was so friendly and kind! He made sure to explain the menu thoroughly and give us recommendations for all of the good things to try! The Belgian waffle was so great here! It was huge and so filling. The waffle was crispy and fluffy to perfection! read more

While the food is delicious, their portion size has gotten smaller. It used to be that Soul in a Bowl was two meals, easy. This is what passes for $21 worth of food now. Underwhelmed. read more

Amazing place to go for breakfast, the staff are very friendly here. But must reserve a spot as it gets busy fast

Great food and service. Love the fresh ingredients and the ambience! Always a staple for brunch.

The French toast trifle ($19) was another item I tried and I really liked the sweetness of ?custard? over the toast. The edges were a little more burnt and bitter than I would like and the strawberries were not in season, but the meringue/pavlova was perfect and sweet. The service was prompt too read more

Great food! Our first time in. Had the Montreal smoked meat Benny. Was great! Absolutely will be back

Service always friendly and attentive. The food is over the top egg-cellent - get it? Super portions. Have tried many of the breakfast poutines - favs are Soul In a Bowl and Gold Digga. Husband loves Farmer John scramblette. Have also had Threesome - 2 eggs w back bacon or smoked bacon and waffle or French toast. Choose the waffle w berries! Yum. Never disappoints. You won't eat anywhere else for breakfast anymore! read more

Food was fantastic, I got a basic "Threesome". The food was made without error for myself and my table. We had two people servicing our table, assuming the young lady was still getting into the rhythm. There was some miscommunication between the servers at times. I first sat down and wasn't spoken to for 10 mins, I had asked for waters for the table and only received 2/4, our food was missing a few things which got fixed quickly, and waiting for the opportunity to ask for the bill, another 10 mins later. I feel they may need more support from a manger, it felt like they were being rushed and unable to connect with our table properly and effectively. Both servers were LOVELY! They were kind and generous, just wished we saw them more. read more

I came for brunch on November 11 with my mom. I was glad to see they were open on this holiday as many places are closed that day. We were celebrating my birthday so it was definitely a treat to eat here. Practically everything the cook is cooked in duck fat which makes the food taste absolutely amazing! We got the Florentine Benny (vegetarian) and The One That Did Not Get Away (smoked salmon) Benny. We shared them so we each got one of each. Needless to say they were both delicious!! I personally enjoyed the vegetarian option better but I still liked the smoked salmon as well. The egg was perfectly poached too! We had coffee, they did not have oat milk but they did have almond milk which is great. We also ordered mimosas which were delicious and they had several flavours. Overall it was a delicious treat to eat here. They do have "healthier" options as well if you're not into the duck fat but for me that's part of the joy! The duck fat frites are delicious, especially with the egg yolk! The best part? You can make reservations or sign up for the waiting list right on your Yelp app! We had made a reservation and thank goodness we did because the restaurant was busy and there was a line of people waiting outside. Luckily we arrived and were shown to our table right away, no waiting. It was a great experience, friendly service as well. read more

An excellent place for brunch! Was very close to my hotel in my time in Edmonton and was told to stop here for brunch.

Great service and food read more

Today is our twins' 21st birthday so I selected OEB Breakfast for our meal out. We started out at 10:00 while watching the Yelp waiting list tool. It said immediate seating until we were half way and then suddenly it said there was a 15-20 minute wait. My wife quickly added her name to the list. We arrived around 10:30am and were told the wait would be at least 20 minutes. The fellow managing the list seemed to be very efficient. Eventually we were assigned a table that comfortably handled the five of us. Water and coffee arrived quickly which allowed us to focus on the extensive menu of unique sounding dishes. I decided on the Waffle and Duck which was $20. My son ordered the Rabbit Benny for $19. Their grandmother ordered the Waffle and Laks (Smoked Salmon) which was $21. However she found it to be a bit dry and asked for some syrup. They added $2.50 to the bill for her syrup which was surprising. I enjoyed my duck but here too a bit more syrup would have been nice. Overall we each enjoyed our dishes but mine was probably the best of the lot. The flavour was not as spectacular as the appearance but they were still tasty and satisfying. If you don't need coffee with your breakfast you might want to consider heading next door to Credo for a very deluxe coffee as OEB's coffee was mediocre at best. However, the coffee mugs were large and my cup never reached critically low levels as the service was very good. During breakfast I prefer large quantities of coffee over the quality of the brew so this was not a problem for me. If you only drink the best coffee, Credo next door is your solution. I appreciated that they kept the sound levels under control so that we could enjoy a good visit and conversation. It wasn't quiet but compared to some places it sound level was reasonable. OEB was a very unique breakfast or brunch experience. I think that everyone who enjoys a special dining experience should try OEB at least once and maybe several times. read more

Horrible experience at the Kelly Ramsey location in Edmonton Alberta. Cold food, EXTREMELY slow service. Pancakes were tough and couldn't be cut through (returned them), had to ask for coffee, had to ask for water, had to ask for cutlery. Had a reservation and they didn't have the table set up for enough of us. I will NEVER return to this restaurant. Waste of $100! POOR POOR POOR! I was looking forward to a fun family time out at Christmas and it was terrible! DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Always a great decision for breakfast or lunch. Never disappoints, good service and fresh unique options.

Eggs Benny (Florentine) with duck fried fries. The eggs Florentine consisted of a avocado with a poached egg and wilted spinach and of course the Hollandaise sauce. I would Say there was nothing so special about it, the duck fries were nice and crispy. The customer service and ambiance was nice. Location wise, parking was not easy and the area has many homeless people surrounding. I would defiantly come back to this place and get the eggs done medium hard. I didn't absolutely LOVE the eggs Benny since they was nothing extraordinary but they were still good. read more

So so yummy!! This restaurants presentation game is on point! Loved my order of butternut squash truffle eggs Benedict. It's a little sweet and savoury served on a buttery croissant. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly in crispy wedges. Both my breakfast buddies also enjoyed their meals on the sunny patio. What a great way to start the morning. Excellent service, polite and fast our waiter checked up on us multiple times. I love the flower/sprout garnish and attention to detail the chef put into all our meals.

Came here a second time on a Monday. The wait time is even better on a Monday! It showed 0 mins wait time at 11AM and by 11:30AM, the wait time was only around 16-30 minutes. We were seated within 5 mins when we arrived. I ordered the Confit Duck & Egg this time. This dish consists of hand pinched Pierogies, hardwood smoked bacon, duck confit, green onions, raspberry vinaigrette, Free Run Organic duck egg. The presentation was fantastic and the ingredients tasted fresh and savory. However the portion was quite small (see photo for reference) and I don't think it's worth $20 for such a small portion. Next time I'll probably stick to ordering their more filling dishes like their breakfast poutines. This rating is more like a 3.5 than a 4. read more
