Dropped by on a recommendation. I ordered the chorizo hash and eggs. The eggs were cooked perfectly, I asked for over easy and it was with a nice runny yolk. The dish was large so bring your appetite. It comes with ranch dressing mixed in, I decided against that and they offered hollandaise, I asked for that on the side. That was a good call, it was very lemon forward and would have overpowered the dish. I have the same feedback for potatoes and chorizo. They both could have been far more crispy in the dish. The onions were plentiful and a tad on the strong side. The service was great and friendly. read more

Hit and miss, had the Farmer's brekky. Eggs, bacon, English muffins, pancake were great. Hash browns tasted funny, toast was hard, my substitute sausage for extra bacon never happened. Good service, good protocols, happy faces. read more

I've been wanting to try Reds on 4th for a while now and I finally had the chance. First impression was what a cool place from the outside and then you enter the restaurant and it is a great piece of history. I had Red original with sourdough cheese toast. Eggs were great; bacon was great quality and cooked perfect. The coffee was a quality cup of coffee. Servers were friendly and prompt to help us. I would highly recommend trying Reds on 4th. I've since tried Reds on 58th and it was great as well. read more

Came here early on a Saturday in September and there was no wait. it's not a huge place, but they did have a few tables along the outside as well. The server was very nice and gave informed suggestions. Food came out quick and hot. I opted for the chorizo and eggs hash plate which was huge and perfectly spiced and salty. It was I think $20, but it could easily feed two people! My husband got the brisket benedict which was also quite tasty and huge. We were only stopping through Calgary for a few days, but I would definitely come back here if we were in town again! read more

Great service and the food was very tasty. Even though the establishment was very busy at the time service was still fast and the time it took to get our order was fast. Prices are around what you would expect to pay for a restaurant read more

There's a lot of fancy brunch spots in Calgary, but there is nothing quite like a breakfast at Reds on 4th. The diner is cozy, friendly and has the best feel good vibes. The food is always 10/10, fresh and hot with huge portions so you have left overs (the hash browns are so good later). The best place to start your day and a must stop if just visiting for a few days! read more

Underwhelming breakfast, over priced. Lovely server.I kind of thought we'd be in for a good value diner experience but my over easy eggs were over hard and although my partner asked for no mayo on her sandwich (confirmed twice by Server) it came with mayo. Also A/C was cranked so it was about 16 degrees with an outside temp of 16 degrees. read more

Good food. GREAT service. I am always met with a smile, regardless of the time of day.

Great place for breakfast. I was in town for vacation and went twice it was so good. The staff are super friendly. Good eats!

Another super popular brunch/all day breakfast institute. They have two other locations (Kensington and Ramsay). We decided to check them out on a Saturday morning. Pro tip: download the No Wait app (second time I've used it since OEB). Seriously, the best thing ever. We only had to wait 30 minutes from start to finish. Not bad. The inside is cozy and decor gives off an air of country home style. - 2x Mimosas ($7.00) - if you're going to do brunch, might as well get a few mimosas. - Blueberry buttermilk buckwheat pancakes ($14.00) - had a bite of C's pancakes; they were light, fluffy and stuffed with blueberries. I should have got this for myself. - Prairie breakfast plate ($17.50) - you could tell the perogies were homemade but you only get 6 and they're small. The potato hash was good (chunky, well seasoned) and a nice touch with the fruit (orange, grapefruit and honey dew). I'm just not a "breakfast plate" type of guy. Overall, decent breakfast place but a bit uninspiring and a little overpriced in my books. The lineups tell a different tale though so if you go, stick with their sweet offerings. 3.5 stars. read more

The eggs Benny grilled cheese is amazing and I highly recommend. Usually a bit of a wait though

No way in hell would I recommend this place. First of all, my mom and I, we get there they have a wait list, so ok we are added, than come to find out if you have a part of 4 can bump you. Than the waitress said "I thought I made that clear" she did not. Than told us she had cleaned off the table, and she had not, it was dirty still. They want $22 for an Eggs Benedict!!! . Was not worth the money. The potatoes tasted like they were frozen and reheated. read more

my partner and I were looking for quick breakfast and popped into Reds Diner. We were surprised about the cute atmosphere and hometown vibe of the restaurant. Upon arriving we were greeted with smiles and the service was excellent. Unfortunately when we received our food it was underwhelming, the potatoes seemed as though they were bought frozen and reheated in a microwave and their famous poached eggs left something to be desired. This restaurant was alright for a quick eat, however would not recommend if you're looking to finish your meal. read more

Great food, with rather large portions. Dishes are a tad on the pricey side, service is also very fast usually. It can take a bit longer at peak times on weekends, but still nothing too bad. read more

Adding to my review, had Anniversary breakfast and had Crepes la québécois! Did not like very much some bites were a like off balance sour apples or cheese flavour not great, but Shea our server was fantastic!! She took 10% off bill after I mentioned it, she offered a new meal first but it's not their fault I don't like it!! And my hubby had Montreal hash it was great! Coffee a little strong but love it here and love Shea our server!! Ate there today, and it was hands down great!! Better than Red's in Ramsay! For some reason 4th seasons potatoes where as Ramsay does not!! 1thing I had different was no toast and had pancake, fantastic! And my server was excellent and friendly! Reason for only 4 star is coffee I didn't order one but I went by the previous time and didn't like it but I like my coffee pretty strong! My favourite spot!! read more

The perfect diner, love the decor here as well as the food it really hits the spot. The service is always on point. They are always busy and sometimes it's hard to find a spot but it's for a good reason! read more

A solid place for breakfast and brunch, food wise. However, the service and conducting of wait times could be significantly improved. Food always takes awhile to come out and waitresses seem impatient when taking your order or if you ask for condiments. read more

It wasn't good or even close to the one in 58th . Let's leave it at that I suggest to change the menu if it's not prepared the same , it just leaves room for disappointment read more

Great food gluten free Recommend highly!! Always enjoy the service and the food not long waits read more

Ah, one of the best breakfast/brunch places I've ever ate at. Hearty and fulfilling, both the stomach and the spirit. Come early and get a seat or come late wait for a table. It is worth the wait. I always went alone and got a seat at the counter almost immediately. Love it! I think one of the servers even called me hun' at one time. I will always go to the place where I get to be called hun'. I recommend you get the eggs and pancakes mash up! Fantastic! The servers are fantastic! read more

Food was amazing!!! Highly recommend. Atmosphere great too. Sat at the bar. Service friendly

Being a Calgary-born Vancouver transplant, I've come to expect that when I visit Calgary I'll be able to eat only what I bring with me when I'm around town - vegan food is scarce in this oil-and-beef city. So when a friend of mine who lives next door to Red's invited me for breakfast, I was skeptical. Fortunately for me and for the vegan community of Calgary, my skepticism was unfounded. Red's offers two vegan breakfast options - a quinoa porridge and a tofu scramble. While the tofu scramble isn't quite as good as what I'd make at home, it was filling and I didn't feel cheated out of my money. The server made sure to ask whether I wanted my toast dry, which I appreciated. They also offer vegan lunch and dinner options, which I haven't tried. The service at Red's isn't white tablecloth style - servers are a bit surly, but do their jobs well. It's a diner, so diner service and diner food (a bit greasy) are what you'll get for your money. For me, though, the food's better than anything I could get at, for example, Nelly's - where even the potatoes taste like bacon - or most other breakfast joints in Calgary. I'm glad Red's took over that space - I'll be back twice a year, as long as they stay in business! read more

Really disappointing experience here this afternoon. My sister and I decided to drop in on a whim. When we arrived we were quoted a 25-30 min wait -- no problem. We put ourselves on the wait list and then we were instructed, by the not so friendly server, that we needed to stay within a 5 minute radius of the restaurant or our table would be given away -- again, fair and understandable. We were planning on waiting at the restaurant anyways. Nonetheless, we were asked to wait outside for that time in -33 degree celsius weather. My sister immediately asked that our names be taken off the wait list, and explained there was no way (even in our best dressed layers) we could wait outside that long (we had no vehicle to sit in and wait) -- and the server with a snarky attitude responds "SORRY that's the rule, we can't just have you all standing at the front." Let me say that I understand it's a small location but, they've got to figure something out for when the weather is this bad -- what kind of restaurant asks their patrons to wait outside in -33 degree celsius weather??? We both shared with each other on our way to another restaurant that we were both so turned off from ever returning there. :// read more

This is my 2nd review of Red's Diner on 4th street - as I've visited this little joint more than I've seen my parents, over the last 6 months. Just to clarify on a few of the standard tips/questions regarding parking, wheelchair accessibility, and liquor licensing. 1) They don't have a FULL bar, but they serve more than beer & wine 2) There is a step, and the doorway is narrow, so depending on the size & style of the wheelchair, access with assistance is possible 3) There are reserved parking spots on 15th ave, attached to the lot of the Rose & Crown. On the south side of the road, right next to the sidewalk - these three spots are marked for Red's Diner I remain aligned with my first review, but after more flirting with the menu and a few cool clientele experiences I have even more great things to say about Red's. I'll just get a few food glitches out of the way first -- I think they make hollandaise from scratch, it's way too buttery & salty - the consistency is all wrong. I don't mind if you use a package from the store, I'd rather have nice sauce on my bennies. If you do get the bennies, ask for your sauce on the side. Second food issue - Poutine get's 1 star. I know Poutine. I dream of it, I crave it, and I know the good & the bad. Could've been an off day - but the dish I had was soggy fries, runny & salty gravy, and mini-lumps of mozzarella. mozzarella!! On to the good stuff! After being open for 9 months, I'm surprised there hasn't been more staff turnover. I can't speak for BOH or Kitchen, but the same friendly girls at the front have been there since Day 1. They're not silver service, and that's fine by me. Solid serving staff, they uphold the brand well. This is great breakfast food, with an even better atmosphere. **My current go-to brekkie - buckwheat pancakes with a side of honey yogurt. 5 stars. KLM read more

Red's On 4th - Marlon Wayans & Moi at Red's Diner - November 2010 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I hadn't been to Red's Diner yet, but have been following some of the mixed reviews here on Yelp. When Chris P chose this joint for a mid-week brunch UYE (unofficial Yelp event), I was ready to soak it in like whipped butter and maple syrup on a fresh waffle. Red's looks like it would have some sketch to it based on the outside. The insides so don't match the exterior building. Modern and fresh, this diner is clean and new with warm colours and fun decor. There were only three of us, but we sat in this awesomely big booth at the back. After a quick look at the menu, I settled on the Farmer's Eggs Benny and a coffee. That was a good way to start off a Thursday! I swear the toast the eggs were served on had been soaked in butter prior to having the sauce and eggs put on top. It was full-on flavour all the way through. Near the end of our breaky, our server was headed out back for a break. She stopped by the table to say good-bye in case she missed us before she came back inside. Cute! She actually didn't miss us, and so we got an extra thank you and good-day. Extra props right there! read more

Red's On 4th - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I've never written a bad review, but I feel as if the service we receive from our server was awful. Our server, Natalie, was completely rude from the very beginning. She was upset, because we were waiting for one more person to our table. She avoided our table for approximately 20 min. Our party was not rude to her nor did we do anything to her. She only retrieved our orders until I got her attention. Our food did not arrive for at least 45 min and we did not get any updates from Natalie. While we were waiting she was visibly avoiding our table. We are able to see this, because the other tables she was serving was adjacent to ours. Natalie did not make eye contact with us, and updated us on the status of our meals. When our food arrived it was cold, and was not delivered by Natalie. The food was definitely good, but like what I stated before it was cold. My friend requested a condiment and was not delivered. I physically went to the bar and requested the condiments. Natalie finally followed up on our meal after we were almost done with it. She did not refill our drinks until the very end. When it came down to finish the transactions, for some odd reason Natalie became highly upset that my friend handed her $55 USD. She came back with the appropriate change, and still was very rude towards us. Again, the food was good but the customer service that was subpar. Natalie needs to work on her customer service and people skills. read more

Great breakfast and even better service. Good was delicious for breakfast fare. Coffee has hot and taste. Orange juice large and cold. Will go there again for a breakfast out. read more

Great breakfast location! I used to drop in here quite regularly when I was in the area. The service, food and atmosphere is what makes it so appealing. When I am in the area I will drop by if it is not a peak time. I have to say the customer service here is one a lot of Calgary restaurants and coffee shops could learn from. I'll bet their waitresses get a better than average tip from customers because they sincerely care about their job. The menu selection is more than satisfactory and I never left Reds still hungry. You may have to wait at peak times or peak day weekends but it's worth it. read more

I love this place! The servers are kind and attentive, even when the place is slammed the Eggs Benedict is what I always go for!

We walked here from our rental on our last morning in Calgary. The staff were super nice and helpful. My friend ordered the mixed berry and goat cheese stuffed french toast, and I ordered the Caprese Benny. Both were pretty amazing and we left town with our bellies full and a smile on our faces. The funniest thing to me (being from the U.S) was the prescence of Cheeze Whiz with the jam and jellies. It seemed random and comical to me but I am sure people must use it on something. Wish I knew what :) read more

I think this is the OG- it's small and cute, for some reason the Ramsey location has such a different vibe. Food was okay- I usually get the same thing at each Reds and consistency is usually right on but I had a hash bowl and it was so so. The hash browns were under cooked and just didn't have the same zest. It's a great location and great staff but over all it was a 3. Still on my mission to find the best breakfast joint in Calgary.... read more

Nice and clean diner venue! love the brick wall, love the tight seating! just like any other diner in the east coast! This venue go through a lot of facelift, you can feel it! Service was good. Food is not bad, could be better. I ordered an egg benedict, comes with 2 eggs, 2 thin sliced of canadian bacon (ham?) with English muffin, with side of potato wedge, 2 slice of fruit and 2 slice of toast. Okay, it's way too much carbs here, I mean I already had an English muffin with the egg benedict and the side potato, it would better if they can cut a thicker slice of meat or one more slice of meat, instead of more toast.. But one thing I should mention about the toast, it's not like they are using some cheap bread, like wonderbread or whatever, it's obvious that the bread is quality stuff, my friend thinks it's from Manual Lutruwe, good stuff!! read more
