    Spanish omelet

    Kicked off my weekend with a stop at this Edmonton breakfast institution. There are no surprises here - good food, diner decor & top notch customer service I had the Spanish omelette special & it arrived on the table before I had finished my first cup of coffee If you are in South Edmonton make this a stop

    My boyfriend begged me to try this restaurant for months when we first moved to the south side. I refused, saying it was a dive and the food could not be good. One day, a friend called me in crisis and said we should meet for breakfast. Guess where she wanted to go? Saratoga. So I agreed, because she was a friend in need. How could I refuse? We went there for breakfast and it was awesome. The two of us had coffee, fried eggs with bacon, hashbrowns and toast. Our bill came to $25 with tip. Whoo hoo! So I let my boyfriend take me back. Over and over again. We have been going there consistently on Sunday mornings for almost 6 months now. The hostess/owner always recognizes us and so do our servers. We almost never need to remind them of our order anymore and we always get great service. The place may look like a truckstop (in fact, I am pretty sure it once was one) but it really does have great food and good service. Tip: Avoid 9:30-11:00 am arrival on Saturday or Sundays. The place is packed with church goers and family groups and you will be waiting. We usually try to go early, and we end up leaving right as the rush arrives. Later works too-- they serve breakfast all day. It sucks that my boyfriend won this battle.. but what a great find!

    Great brunch specials are always on at this place. First time here and it is cozy and busy!. Nice service and senior and family friendly. Definitely will try thus place again.

    Potato Pancakes with Sausages

    The Saratoga Restaurant has been in business for a long time. It opened in 1958 and remodeled around five to ten years ago. This is a classic truck stop with a huge parking lot suited to large rigs although these days those rigs are more likely to be RVs or motorhomes than tractor-trailer units. It's very busy on weekends and steady but not overly busy on week days. Expect diner type food that is perhaps a step up from the usual diner. Today I had potato pancakes. They came with a meat of my choice (ham, bacon or sausages) and a slice of melon. The pancakes were very tasty although they appeared to be deep-fried if that is a concern. Coffee is the first thing they bring and my cup didn't go dry until I wanted it to. The staff were friendly and seemed to enjoy themselves. I noticed that they seemed to be particularly patient with older customers. If you have a good sized appetite and are not looking for the healthiest meal in town you will be happy here.

    Club Sandwich

    Amazing food! This is a comfort food haven and the food is soooo tasty with large portions. The Club Sandwich with fries and gravy is a must have!!!! Will definitely return whenever I'm in Edmonton!!

    We went here as we were too impatient to wait in Cora's infamous line just up the block. This place compares more to a Humpty's than a Cora. Service: 4/5. very good, we were seated right away, all smiles and hot coffee promptly. Our server had a light Vietnamese accent, so if you get her you can expect no mistakes. Food: 2.5/5. We ordered eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was from a package, you know, the thick and bland type? However the dollar pancakes were cooked just right and so was the egg (ordered medium), and a side fruit bowl was actually really varied and enough for two light eaters.

    Omelette and hash-browns were super greasy and soup was way too salty to eat! I do not recommend, better off going to McDonald's!

    Best place for a family meal. They allowed us to make a breakfast reservation which gave us a fantastic table with AHS protocol spacing.

    . With time to get comfortable before the food arrived, I noticed the decor is mostly darker wood and reminded me of a cozy restaurant that was very friendly to us in Lyon a couple of weeks ago

We would go back in a heartbeat, just need to sleep off the food coma for a while. It's bright and airy in spite of the smallish space and the amount of booths and tables, oh and you can sit at the counter. The walls and ceiling are covered in memorabilia, concert banners and what not. The place was absolutely hopping at 12:45 PM, but we were sat in a booth right away. Waters dropped moments later, asked if we needed coffee, tea or whatever else you wanted to drink. Our server was fantastic, explaining and educating us as we were first timers. The food came out piping hot very quickly and our tea ordered after the food was dropped came in a large teapot and hot just like at home. The clubhouse, which I did not have, has house made ham and turkey according to our server. My corn beef had slices of corn beef that did not taste house made, but the sheer volume of meat I couldn't finish, the eggs were cooked perfectly. K's Mexicasa omelette was excellent with the Mexican meat the star. I know why the place is consistently full, it's that good. Definite redo when back in West Edmonton

The corned beef has had mashed potatoes which is different from what I'm used to but it was tasty nonetheless. My husband substituted the pancakes in his meal for pan fried potatoes. The place was super busy even though it was around 2pm and was still packed when we left. They seated us quickly as we were willing to sit at a table but we could've waited for a booth. The servers were friendly and fast which was perfect for us as I needed to get to an appointment. It's a relatively small restaurant with many patrons. It's definitely got that old diner vibe which is always fun once in a while. If you're looking for a solid, traditional diner experience, you can't for wrong with Rockin' Robyn's.

Both were so very tasty, and did not disappoint. The ambiance of the restaurant is different than many places I've gone to. Being close to the University of Alberta main campus, many young students compose the clientele of Sugarbowl, but not limited to. The decor is very nice - brick walls and posters, and hand written beer menu, to name a few. Service was very good, professional, and friendly!! Overall good experience, and will return again in the future.
