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

This is a special place that not many people know about. The reds on 4th is to "hip" now and this place is a quiet dinner in a nice area of town. There is nothing I like more than making it to Reds in Ramsay a hour after they open. Always sitting in the back and over hearing the staff discuss what and how many they had last night. Always use to go for the South Western Omelette but have recently devoured the Ranchero recently. Have already had a cup or shot of beans at home so I stay away from the coffee when I am there. My better half gets tea and I sip on it but the mugs they use are fascinating. 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

We finally got the chance to pop in on Friday afternoon and we were delighted. The view is lovely and our server was adorable. We ordered breakfast and dessert and we were blown away! Absolutely delicious!!! Luckily, we came at a slow time so the wait for food was very reasonable. The prices are a bit steep and the drinks/sodas are not refillable but our server was very quick to grab us waters and keep 'em topped up, so we were pleased! We will definitely be back, no question. Great work, guys! read more

Discovered this beauty of a diner through a friend. Wow! The decor and ambiance make you want to sit here all day! Our friendly server hooked us up with coffees and menus along with the lunch specials. Had the Italian sub and soup. Awesome! Dining buddy had crepes, which looked appetizing! My sandwich, lightly toasted with melty cheese, was stacked with at least three typical Italian deli meats one of which must have been a spicy cappicolo. Two words: dee licious! Soup was a potato bacon - flavourful and rich. All in all, a very filling meal for 13 bucks!! Coffee was nice too! According to my friend, the crepes were tasty and light. I thought the presentation was nice. I don't think he was over-full as he was considering round 2. No matter, he was happy with the choice. I can't wait to bring my Co-dining Babe here! The server suggested that Saturdays after 1 pm are a little less busy. I want to sit at the counter!! read more

Love it!! Lots of food, great variety and the service was the best! Great little neighborhood vibe

Popped in for lunch on a Tuesday around 12:45. Place was busy, but still had room for us. I had the Reuben and a delicious Carrot Ginger soup. The sandwich was perfect in balance and flavours. The mustard was full of energy and zing. Could have used a bit more meat. Service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere is open and welcoming. A great spot that I will recommend and revisit whilst in Calgary. read more

I've been here 4 or 5 times with a decent experience however this morning was so disappointing! I called the restaurant before hand to ask about my large party, followed instruction and added notes to my wait list, however the hostess did not greet me, was rude and totally ignored my party rewards ton the wait list. As soon as my elderly grandparents arrived the hostess immediate told them to sit down, they didn't have 1 minute to acknowledge my family. This totally put off my grandparents and family who were looking forward to seeing each other. Unaccommodating, bossy and rude is how I would sum up the treatment of the hostess. Ruined our brunch! read more

Traveling through town and found this super cute local spot. The food & service was amazing! Every one had a smile on their face so I'd assume it's a fun place to work as well. Got the Reds Big Breakfast so I could sample a little of everything. Definitely recommend. read more

I've been to Red's in Ramsay numerous times and the past two times (that I recall), we've had Tia as our server. Tia always amazes me with her ability to remember even the smallest detail and all without writing anything down. She has a real way with people and even when things are crazy, she never loses focus on the customer. The food here is really good, but it's service like this that keeps me coming back. Thanks, Tia, for another great meal yesterday! read more

I've been here 3 times Each time I have asked for my egg yolks to be medium well...not runny. Each time I get runny under-cooked eggs. Twice they brought back even runnier eggs after I sent the meal back. The third time I walked out. read more

Deliciousness galore! You must use the No Wait app to get in line for seating. We were seated as soon as we got there. The food and service is very good. I love the fact that brunch is available so early in the morning! I do think the addition of breakfast poutine would be a great addition! read more

Really quick service, great staff, and an awesome environment! The food was pretty good too, although the gravy for the poutine was a little on the sweet side for me, but didn't distract away from the meal as a whole. read more

Best brunch we have had in a long time! As always shared one meal between two - was the perfect amount for us. All aspects were on point - the service, the food. Even the hash browns were fantastic. I'll be checking it out again! read more

We tried this place on a lazy Sunday. Ordered old fashioned pancake, waffle, burger and Mediterranean wrap with hash browns. Everything seems average with slightly upscale prices. Servers are friendly but on slightly clumsier side (three spills in 40-45 minutes). Burger was decent, fries were not fresh and seemed refried. Pancake was nothing to rave about. Mediterranean wrap is average too - nothing stood. Overall it's a good experience- and love the fact that owner/manager read the reviews! read more

Best coffee! Great breakfast! Great service, friendly staff and beautiful surroundings I will definitely be coming back!

This place always pleases. Brought my family here for their first time and I swear my grandmother almost licked her plate clean she was so satisfied. The staff is always so helpful and amazing. Reds is one of the best breakfast places in our city! read more

Quirky but excellent service, great breakkie and we love that they have a selection for vegans.

AMAZING! I LOVE RED'S! it can become a little pricey when you start to get carried away buying all the yummy treats but nothing is bad here that I have tried and the service is super fun and engaging. Defiantly would recommend Red's as a cute fun brunch spot. read more

Everything is perfect from the service to the room to the ability to not have a wait time to the eggs except for the potatoes... They seem to still be working out the kinks on getting the hashbrowns perfect with the new stuff. If it wasn't for the potatoes we would give it a five out of five! Our favourite brunch place and very family friendly! read more

Tough to review a breakfast venue when I don't eat eggs but the whole family enjoyed the vibe and the meal. Like that they have a lot of coffee out for those waiting for a table. Very courteous. read more

A friend and I stopped in for a Friday lunch a few weeks ago. It was very cold outside but Red's was still very busy and I can see why. The food was marvelous and the staff was friendly and efficient. The only complaint was we were given our bill without being asked if we would like dessert. Now I sure didn't need dessert but if I had been asked I would have jumped at it as me and dessert are the best of friends! I can't wait to come back for breakfast. read more

We have been to Red's Diner several times in the past few months for breakfast. Mostly on the weekends. Great service, less than average brunch waits (15-30 minutes tops) and a great layout which lends itself to larger groups. It's easy to find parking and love that they've opened in a neighbourhood that needed a little love. read more

I took my boyfriend there for his 25th birthday brunch and was extremely disappointed. We told the server that we were sharing both meals, but no sharing plates were bought to the table. His food was good, but unfortunately I ordered the blueberry French toast. When the waitress quality checked our good, I had only tried and mistakenly told her it was good. When I tried my meal, the goat cheese flavour was so overwhelming and made the entire dish taste like feet. I tried to order a side of bacon to combat the flavours, but unfortunately I still didn't like the dish. After bringing this to her attention, when she checked back at the table 20 minutes later, she took the dish away and asked if I wanted anything else to eat. I ordered a side of two eggs. I was under the impression that I wouldn't be spending 20$ for feet tasting French toast, but she returned to the table and said "we gave you a 25% discount, because someone has to absorb the cost of the meal". I have worked as a server at 4 restaurants over the last 7 years and not once have I ever heard of such a policy. I will not be returning. read more

Really good place for breakfast!!.. I had the crepes and they were delicious!!.. The hot chocolate was just ok.. I wouldn't order it again... But my crepes were so good, that I would definitely go back there!!... In addition, the service was very friendly and fast... read more

If you're looking for good old fashioned diner food, you're at the right place! Portions are quite generous, I always find myself taking home half of my meal. Service is always great and attentive. So happy they've jumped on board the No Wait App because it is quite the time saver! Love that this location has a patio as well. The only thing I would say is that I find their specialty coffees (lattes, mochas etc) quite expensive at $5 a pop. Still, always a good option in a city that loves their breakfast/brunch joints! read more

Met up with some friends while visiting Calgary and they recommended to come here for brunch. We arrived at around 11:30AM and there was no lineup. There was a small lineup a little later on but even they were seated shortly after arrival. This location is new, and provided a good ambiance for us to catch up. Service was attentive as the server came around multiple times for top ups on coffee and tea. What I like about this place is that the menu is quite big for a brunch spot as they offer regular lunch as well. I myself got the chicken club and it was very good. The chicken was moist and the flavours gave it a very homemade taste. read more

Super speedy. VERY quick service. our orders arrived super fast. I can't say I was wow-ed but It also wasn't awful. Pretty standard stuff. CUTE coffee mugs though, and a nice space inside. went very early on a weekday so there was no wait. read more

Usually my favourite breakfast place. Bit expensive but good food. Today it was not as good an experience as usual. Obvious they were rushing people through due to volume. Being asked mid meal 1-2 times if my plate can be taken is attentive. Being asked 4 times in mid-meal is irritating. Particularly when sitting there with empty coffee.... read more

Service was excellent. Wife has "Red's Original"...I had "Florentine Crepe"....both tasted great. Prices are high, but assume ingredients are above average. read more

Came in for New Years Day brunch and expected a long wait. Despite the waiting, the service and food totally made up for it! The host at the front was exceptional. He was very organized and kept checking in frequently to ensure that everyone was on the list, that the coffee up front was available and kept us informed with the time of waiting. I was impressed. Once we got our table, our hostess was really great as well. She was very nice and knew to check in just enough times to ensure that all was well and yet give us time to eat as well. The service kept being exceptional throughout our time there and everyone seemed to know what to do and communication seemed great among all the staff. The food is always great at Red's! Very reasonable time after ordering and delicious! read more

We love coming to Red's in Ramsay! We usually head there later in the morning to avoid the craziness, but we have never been disappointed. The vegan tofu scramble is delicious, the coffee fresh and un-burned, and the service is always excellent. Definitely worth the drive from the 'burbs. read more

Went for lunch for the first time at Reds and got the BLT, with the hand cut fries. The food was pretty good, I felt the ration to bacon lettuce to tomato was little off. There service was great and the food came out quick. read more

I once went here when I was stranded in Ramsay and needed lunch. At first I was really intimidated, because their menu doesn't have any vegan food. Turns out, they are so nice and accommodating here! The waitress was so nice about helping us figure out what was vegan and not and even knew that the hash browns were fried in butter. I ended up getting a salad without the cheese, and it was so good. My mom had a veggie burger and she said it was one of the best she's ever had. I wasn't the most impressed by the delicious food, I was just so happy how kind they were here and they really understood their vegan and non vegan food. I would go back again any day. read more

Very disappointed in the recent money grab from Red's. Only serving one slice of toast now with another slice charged at a staggering $2.50 per slice. Let us have bread Red's. read more

Went there today with the hubby after reading some good reviews...the food was amazing, the service was not the best...I think our waiter forgot we were there after we finished our meals...I had to ask for the bill....and then waited probably 20 minutes with our jackets on waiting to pay and get food boxed up...which he also seemed to have forgot about and left it on the counter. We would definately go back, but hopefully a different server next time. The Reuben and the Smoked Meat Hash are both very very good! read more

I've heard this place is comparable to Oeb so I thought I'd check it out. It was alright but I won't be rushing to go back. I got the Ramsey benny and it was cooked just right but I thought the combo of prosciutto and balsamic a little much and the potatoes were tasty but very oily. The big thing was the bad service. Our waitress didn't come check on us once after taking our order (it was delivered by someone else) and we had to ask for our bill after waiting 10 mins with our plates piled. She did take the price of my coffee and my moms tea off, but we still weren't impressed. read more

Going off of Yelp reviews we stopped here for lunch after touring the Calgary Zoo. We were not disappointed. Crepes Florentine, Build your own Burger and Red's Steak sandwich hit the spot. Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious food. read more

See all

Decent food with decent service. Nice environment, parking can be a bit tricky at times.
