Great diner with awesome food and great selection for breakfast and lunch items. You'll definitely find something that will tickle your fancy. Prices are good and average to what you'd find elsewhere. Had awesome service from Greg B today, which made it an even better experience. He was very personable and attentive. Keep up the great work! Will definitely be back :) read more

Loved this restaurant. It's beautiful and bright inside. I ordered the lunch feature which was a Hawaiian chicken burger and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had! Can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

Red's Diner Ramsay - The lunch feature - Hawaiian chicken burger - Diners Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

It's the whole experience that gives this a 5 out of 5. Staff is friendly, coffee is above average and the breakfast bowls are delicious. Splitting a breakfast isn't uncommon as the food portions are huge! Eggs benny is one of the best around! Red's in Ramsay is a true delight and recommend it! Still on my mission to find the best breakfast joint in Calgary.... read more

Fantastic food made up for poor service... The less than mediocre service is the only reason this restaurant lost a star. The server was not on her game... it took 20 minutes to get a tea and coffee and we didn't get water until we were almost done. She also didn't ask us even one how our meals were ok,or if we needed anything. I noticed she actually didn't ask anyone if the food was good, which I found odd. And another 10 minutes after plates were cleared for the bill. BUT because the wait wasn't very long (it was a super busy Saturday, yet we waited just under 20 minutes) and the food was outstanding! I tried the Ramsay eggs Benedict and the hubby had the caprese version. We both ordered the eggs medium and we both got one soft and one just over medium, but it didn't ruin the meal. Both dishes had great flavour and portion size. My Ramsay ones had artichoke hearts and prosciutto, which gave the dish a nice saltiness. The balsamic drizzle was the perfect touch and I had almost asked for it to be left off (I'm glad I didn't!). I don't even know how they cook potatoes that are somehow crisp and creamy at the same time, but my hubby just about got stabbed with a fork when he went for some of mine! My coffee was tasty too (I guess I was expecting Denny's-style diner coffee) but it was hot and tasted freshly brewed. You can tell they buy good-quality eggs. I can't wait to go back. It'll be hard to try something new because the Ramsay dish was yummy but I want to see what else they have to give! I just hope I get a different server though. read more

Red's Diner Ramsay - The Ramsay eggs benedict is scrumptious! The drizzle completes it. - Diners Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Wonderful people and food here. Shortly after we sat down we realized we had a kids event soon and had to be in and out in 45 mins. Our server Neve was amazing and sweet and we had our food in 5 mins. I went from panic to relaxing while typing this review. Every time we are here we have the best service and the employees are fun and take pride in their work. Oh, and the food is great too! read more

I ordered the bacon and Brie Benny, sans bacon. Those who have read my other Benny reviews for other places know that the most important criteria is a nice runny yolk and these guys nailed it. Good eggs too, nice orange yolk. The Brie got a bit lost in there, and the English muffin could have been toasted more, but that's just me searching for any little thing to critique. They put a nice heap of arugula on top. So good. It comes with WAY too many hash browns. Better than not enough, I suppose. I ate it before thinking to get a photo. The price is up there, but you get what you pay for. read more

I like this spot - not as busy as the "downtown" one...the prices are out of control - but I noticed this in every resto I visited on my business trip back to Calgary. The bar service is friendly and fast, the food options are good except that they are covered in oil...not so good on the heart or the midsection. I wish it was less greasy and there were more vegan options. The service is good here and the vibe is cool. I'd definitely go back but I'd ask for less oil for sure. read more

Excellent food and Friendly staff in a comfortable environment. Great for meeting people. I just wish there was more parking. read more

We have been here a few times for breakfast & it has always been a great experience! Excellent service, great food, and nice decor! You never feel rushed & the staff are very attentive & friendly! Highly recommended! read more

Brunch who doesn't love brunch? I had someone treating me to brunch even better! I had told my friend I had never been to Red's he said that is really good and I had heard this from others. I don't know if I was expecting more but I can truthfully say that I was not that impressed. I felt like they were trying too had to give off a hipster vibe but it was all middleclass nicely dress couples in the entire restaurant. Only hipster looking people were the staff the one waitress only had one arm on her glassed to keep them on her face. I think it was for the attention of people glaring at her. It was eerily quiet in the restaurant it's like all the people had nothing in common and had nothing to talk about with each other. It was like everyone was on an uncomfortable tinder date. They all dressed up nicely and thought they should meet at a trendy place to show off that they are hip and cultured. Oh and lets go for brunch because then there is no awkward late night pressure. Now to order my food in a tone of voice that will not disturb the birds and the bees at play. I ordered the stuffed French toast I thought I would be adventures this morning. Mistaken buy the word play on the menu I should have stuck to eggs and bacon. I found it too something it was rich savory and sweet all at the same time and got flavor-exhaustion really fast and lost interest in my meal, basically disassembled it and ate the potatoes off of my friends plate. All in all might give this place a second try but maybe the other location. read more

Overpriced for basic greasy spoon diner food . Waits can be long and servers are in a rush and can forget things and make mistakes bringing the wrong plates . Overall , just ok . read more

Waited quite a while to get in, but once we were seated it was fine. Quite loud in there. I had Traditional Benny my wife had the Caprese Benny. Eggs were good but the potatoes were like they were just warmed up on the grill, not ideal. CoffeE wasn't drinkable even aftEr pouring a ton of cream in it. Never seen our waitress again until we asked for the bill. Got her to take off the coffee, it was bad. All in alL not worth the wait, I'll be sticking to Dim Sum. Can't stand paying $50 for 4 eggs and some spuds. read more

My new fave hotspot in Calgary, their hollandaise anything is amazing. The thing is, 99% of place are stingy with the hollandaise but this place is NOT SHY. Service leaves a little to be desired, but décor is nice, location SUCKS for parking. Super yummy mac n cheese, I'm drooling right now as I eat my salad (gross!). Day trip to Calgary, anyone? read more

Had a great experience at Red's today! I recommend using the waitlist on the Yelp app to get in line. We arrived at the time stated on the app and were seated right away. Our server, Neve, was excellent. Super nice, accommodating and efficient. Thanks Neve! I had the panini special and my husband had the classic breakfast. The eggs were very fresh and the sandwich, which had eggs, chorizo, and pesto was fantastic! They have a couple local beers on tap too. read more

Traditional eggs bennie 5/5 yelps tasty deep coloured yolks and large portion. Service 5/5 yelps just great service from our server. Parking lot is next to the restaraunt. When all the pickup trucks are parked there it makes it tight. They loose a yelp because of the prices. read more

Hey Sleepyhead! Arrive at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning and you won't have to wait to get a table! (You can take a nap later...) I thoroughly enjoyed my Traditional Eggs Benedict, but I also coveted my friend's Red's Big Breakfast because it came with a huge blueberry pancake - YUM! My double espresso was pretty good, but at $4.50 I thought it was a bit on the pricey side. The menu offers a variety of meals throughout the day with breakfast being served all day. That's my kinda place. The parking lot was a nice surprise, but I can see how it might fill up pretty fast during their busy times. The atmosphere is cool - kinda rustic industrial - it's super comfortable, lots of windows, but still cozy. I could sit there all day and write a novel...hmmm, maybe I will. read more

In brief- top breakfast choice in Calgary! Currently the newest and best spot for breakfast/brunch in Inglewood/Ramsey. This is Reds second location in YYC. I noticed the Portlandia-worthy line-ups outside since it opened a few weeks ago and decided to check it out today. The building is unrecognizable from the old pizza place that used to be here. It's now a beautiful space, welcoming and bright. It was all hustle-bustle on this Saturday morning, but we were in in no time. We sat at the bar and watched the kitchen churn out a variety of dishes from French toast to Hash to Eggs Benny to lunch fare like burgers (tip- feta and caramel used onion burger was fantastic!). We left satisfied and happy and plan in returning soon. Another great addition to the neighbourhood. read more

I love me some brunch. I really do, but usually the wait time you can anticipate in Calgary: The City Filled With People Who Also Love Them Some Brunch (Official Title) scares me a lot. HOWEVER, At 1:30PM on the Saturday before Christmas there was NO WAIT! You read that right....NO. WAIT. I'm sure this was a fluke, but it totally floored me. The service was impeccable, my coffee was never cold or empty and the food was great! Great gluten free options for people like me, who can't eat "real" food. definitely check this place out, even if you've been to the other location. read more

Really good, always have to wait on weekends but totally manageable in terms of time. Always a good spot to eat.

I could smell Red's from across the street and it smelled GOOD. Walking with a hungry stomach towards a diner and having the warm smell of freshly sizzled bacon hitting your nostrils is one pleasant experience indeed! Like any cool breakfast joint in Calgary, you can expect a line-up at Red's. We were told the wait would be 15-20 minutes but we lucked out. She was back a minute later and said she had a spot for two. Success! The space is very cheery and bright. Very tall windows let in ample sunlight and put me in a great daytime mood for scarfing down some bennies! And eat bennies I did! you know it pains me to say this, but I don't remember the specifics. I do however remember my overall impression: I think Red's food is a step above your typical diner fair and a step above your typical diner fair in price, too. I also think their food is a step below my favourite breakfast spots, but they're also a step below in price. I was more than satisfied with the bang for my buck at Red's. It's a friendly place to go get yourself some brunch and eat happy. I'll be back next time I'm in Ramsay! read more

Red's Diner is located on the corner of 8 street SE in the community of Ramsay. There is a parking lot as well as a ton of street parking (there is a parking map on the website if you're interested ;)). When you enter Red's there is a small waiting area where you can have a seat (if it's available) or help yourself to a cup of joe while you wait for your table to be ready. The crossfit gym I go to is pretty close by so Red's is definitely a regular visit for some crossfitters on the weekend. All day breakfast, delicious lunches or comforting dinners, Red's has it all! I'm not sure about you but for me, I love brunch. A handful of us hit up Red's on a Saturday around 11:45am, we only waited about 10 minutes before we were seated. Water came without question and our server greeted us. We were all starving balls so we quickly decided what we wanted. I went with Red's Big Breakfast which is 3 eggs your way (I got scrambled), bacon, breakfast sausage, hash browns and comes with one pancake and a side of toast. Jenna went with the rancheros wrap - 2 Scrambled eggs, black beans, jalapeño, jack cheese and green onion wrapped in a flour tortilla, served with salsa and sour cream. Tom got Red's burger with the soup of the day which was mushroom and Justin got what looked like a breakfast bread pudding. At this time, Red's was pretty busy but the food seemed to appear at a good time. My breakfast lived up to its name 'cause it was a plate full of food. The pancake was super delicious, light and fluffy but I soaked it with butter and maple syrup which made it heavy :). My only complaint would be the potatoes. They aren't crispy at all and I LOVE crispy potatoes. They're more on the 'soggy' side and I would have loved a nice crunch to the potatoes. Everyone else enjoyed their meals, and we were all pretty stuffed. Red's is definitely the place you hit up if you're craving some modern comfort food. It's nothing out of the ordinary breakfast/brunch joint but the food is so comforting.....like home! So you'll always want to go back. The menu is pretty big with a lot of variety which can make it hard to choose just one thing. I haven't had dinner here yet but I'll sure try it sometime!! read more

Red's in Ramsay is a very popular local restaurant, great for its brunch offering. On the weekends, it's a bit of a zoo. You will want to secure a reservation with their convenient app (check out their website for the link). On the weekends, there is virtually no line, so if you're one of them lucky folks who can get away from work M-F for an extended lunch or have a schedule to allow for it, go on down to Red's! read more

Came here for the second time, to give Red's another go. Coffee, not great. The Crepes la Québécoise came out in pieces. I ordered it with maple syrup and it came out soaked with Maple Syrup, not on the side. Fresh fruit salad, was definitely not fresh. read more

Fan-freaking-tastic!! It was a bit of a wait to get in but it was so worth it! As soon as we were seated our server, Maysa, was on us to get our drink order! She was amazing. Smiling and cheerful she loved being there and you could tell. The EGGS!! Oh my gosh! Seriously, the most orange yolks you will find!! Now those are free range eggs! They were absolutely delicious. I had the Red's Original - the basic two eggs with bacon and everything, but the portion was huge! I couldn't finish. I couldn't imagine getting the Big Breakfast with three eggs! It was delicious, friendly, and we will definitely be back! Thank you!! read more

The eggs are the best with the darkest yolks I have ever seen! Potatoes cooked right but could use seasoning has skin on which is perfect, bacon is salty but good not cheap crap!! Now for the best breakkie Breakfast Poutine... Oh my soooo good!!! Gravy, egg potatoes, chorizo sausage, cheese mixed together WOW!! Coming back for sure!!! read more

Such a neat place! We popped in at 9:00am on a Saturday and were seated right away, the staff are very good. The menu is full of great options including healthy/whole wheat choices, let me tell you though that the buckwheat pancakes are killer amazing!!!! We both got the Reds original (I think thats what it was called) which had eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast. We could not finish because the portions were so huge (half a platter of potatoes each!) so I believe two people (or one very hungry person) could share that meal for sure! A nice location, great service, nice decor and amazingly yummy food! You must give this place a try!!! read more

One of my favorite breakfast places in the city by far! The place is a reasonable size, so even if there is a line, it goes fairly quickly. Good coffee, friendly and efficient staff, cozy and of course an amazing eggs benny! Definately the place I go to most for breakfast and never had a bad experience. read more

Red's Diner Ramsay - Traditional Benny. So tasty!! - Diners Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

One of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. The service was spot on. They accommodated my modification of no potatoes with my breakfast & substituted in a fruit tray. I ordered the Ramsey Benedict, Eggs medium. Absolutely cooked to perfection. Hands down on my top 5 breakfasts places in all of canada. My date for breakfast had a mushroom Swiss burger, which was also absolutely delicious & their homemade fries that came with it - I will be dreaming of tonight when I lay my head on the pillow. Server: was top notch! Never left out glasses empty & ensure we know exactly when our food was going to be ready. read more

Red's Diner Ramsay - Ramsay Benedict (with no potatoes) - Diners Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

It's good. A 3 stars on yelp seems underwhelming, and that's not what I mean, it is "A-OK" as the ratings here state, but could be (and used to be) better. I was wicked excited when red's opened in Ramsay, it's a great spot for the neighbourhood, and the food is good. I have noticed a decline in quality over the last year or so though... It's OK food still, but they are charging an upscale price for it, which is why they lost one star. I've never had a bad meal there, but I have been under-whelmed more than once. If I'm paying $18.00 for a hash breakfast, it better be amazing. It's not amazing, It's good for sure, but after coffee and tip it's over $25.00 and really I can go get a better meal for that price.... $12.00 for just a regular, 2 eggs, potatoes and toast breakfast is a bit much too... Overly greasy hash browns (slimy with grease,) ok eggs, the toast was great though. All in all, I'm not sure why the quality has declined. They are still using up-scale ingredients, but it's "black-foot diner" level preparation, making for an ok, but could be better, experience. I haven't been to the location on 4th for a while, but I remember it tasting fresh, home made, and worth the value, not heavy, and greasy as it has been the last few visits in Ramsay. The prices are up a bit I know because they use local meats, free range eggs etc, but so do I at home, and I can make the same breakfast for $4.00 paying retail prices for the ingredients... so.... Maybe the owners need to take a look behind the kitchen doors and do some more quality inspection/training because i genuinely expect a touch more from a boutique breakfast. read more

I hate egg bennies but this place will make you fall in love with theirs and only theirs. Will have a difficulty picking out the food on the menu because all the food in the menu has everything you want ! I'd have breakfast here everyday if I could ! Lots of varieties , friendly staff and good service ! read more

Visited Red's for the the third time this weekend. Food: Consistently good. Large portions. I especially like the Montreal Smoked meat hash. Service: Good to great. Atmosphere: I enjoy the vibe of this place. It's perfect for a casual brunch or lunch with friends or as a couple. We've never been hassled to move on. Question: Why can't they offer a 1/2 portion option for those of us trying to eat lighter or with smaller appetites? read more

I came here with a small group for supper last night. I love the atmosphere and our male server was the most memorable one I've had since visiting La Vienna (in a good way). Unfortunately, I think the diner was understaffed, as it took a long time for our drinks and meal to show up at the table. One in our party had to ask for her drink twice. My spouse and I ordered boozy milkshakes as a treat with our meal. We both had chocolate but I added Bailey's to mine, he added Peppermint. Apparently his didn't taste like anything was added at all and he was convinced there was no alcohol. However, mine definitely had booze, as the Bailey's kicked me in the pants about halfway through my milkshake. The server joked that it was a free pour and suggested I not drive afterward. I must say that the boozy milkshakes are not worth the dough and I wouldn't order one again, even though mine was great. They need to be much larger for the price. I really enjoyed my Rancheros Wrap and it certainly had kick. I didn't even use the salsa and barely touched the sour cream. Everyone else enjoyed their meal too. Most of the party ordered Ramsay Fish and Chips, a few swapping the chips for poutine instead. Most prices are reasonable and I'd definitely come back. read more

Really liked the atmosphere here. Decor inside is very nice as well as the staff. Menu has a lot of great items, escpecially for breakfast.They have a in line app which allows you to get in line before you even get there, however, once we arrived we still had to wait about 10 min before getting seated. read more

Fatties slinging greasy hash. First, the decor is nice, restaurant is clean well maintained. But I am here for food and that is where this 50's diner gets its way wrong. After a long wait, uncomfortable stare from my server I am begrudgingly helped. Have you ever just made up your mind in the first 30 seconds to not tip? made mine up in 10. Ordered the southwest omelet had the extra sausages. Order came in reasonable time. Plate in front of me, I knew I had some hard work ahead, this was not going to be enjoyable. A slice of kale and lemon were my only witnesses to the atrocity in front of me... Greasy can be good but only on certain levels. Reds level was unnecessary grease. The potatoes were swimming in it. Omelet- bland and boring, as I mindlessly chewed thru the slop I was like the cow that got the nail gun to the head, numbed I wondered what a lemon slice could be doing on this dish, why is it here? why am I here? to cut the grease? is their a finger bowl around? is it for my water? Do I squeeze it on the ground to help me from falling? why? As I pondered the incongruity my glazed stare drifted into the abyss of the rear of an obese server, the abyss stared back, I couldn't finish. check please. no tip. read more

Cool diner with great food and great, friendly service! Menu is vast and unique. Large portions and interesting combinations. Breakfast and lunch specials and good parking. Try it! You'll love it! Listed on the Nowait app. read more

We were in town for the weekend and were going to meet up with friends who lived in the city. They recommended Red's for brunch and I wasn't disappointed! The decor and ambiance of the diner was great - modern, yet cozy. I loved it as soon as I walked in. Their menu is fairly extensive, which is great because my husband isn't a huge brunch person. It was so nice that there were food options other than your typical breakfast/brunch items. Red's was great because they had a good variety. I ordered the Pacific Benedict with hollandaise sauce on the side as per my friend's recommendation, as they give you quite a lot. I love hollandaise, but too much makes for a soggy muffin which isn't so good. The potatoes were cubed and cooked nice and crisp - not too soggy and not burnt. The eggs were made perfectly as I requested: medium --not too runny and not overcooked. Husband also enjoyed his chicken club, and service was attentive; our server came by often to refill our drinks and ask how our meal was. All in all it was a fantastic meal and with great company. An excellent weekend brunch spot! read more

My family loves Red's. From the great coffee to the delicious pancakes and eggs benny! Always a great meal and great service!
