About

Chic and cozy restaurant serving hearty diner fare & comfort food. Locally owned & family oriented modern diner with amazing gluten free options. We have all day breakfast, poutine, sandwiches, salads and delicious burgers which include a vegan veggie burger on a vegan pretzel bun, keto buns and and also delicious gluten free bread from Calgary’s Care Bakery. Abe’s has a special gluten free fryer which allows our clients to enjoy GF fries, yam fries and poutine (yes, we have GF gravy.) We believe that service is as important as food and focus equally on both. We also opened a new ghost kitchen by Abe’s Diner.

Visited for the first time this morning with my husband and our daughter. Ambience was calming and had a homey feeling. The service was great! Our food was spectacular! We got 2 burgers and a kids main. Our server was honest and told me she gave me the wrong burger order but honestly it was delicious I did not even realize it wasn't my order! I'm glad she came up to us and admitted her mistake although honestly she didn't have to 😂. Overall experience was great despite the mishap. Will come back again soon to try everything else on the menu!

Pork Belly Master from @Abe's Diner 30 Market Blvd SE #101. Was the perfect Gluten free pick me up. Tasty, tender, flavourful and comforting. This is a great restaurant to eat at when you are away from home. Slow Braised pork belly topped with bacon-onion jam, lettuce, Spicy mayo on a gluten free bun😋 Yum Yum. With a side of Muddy Poutine. Handout fries, Squeaky cheese curds, Mushroom, and Pepercorn gravy. Topped with green onions. Best version of a poutine I have ever had. I want to move to Alberta because of this amazing food.

What a lovely place for breakfast/brunch! We live in Calgary but this place was recommended by a local so we decided to make a drive up here and give it a try and let me tell you - it was well worth it. The chai latte is to die for, and the benny’s are so good, especially the pork belly benny. We aren’t gluten free but appreciate how they are very GF friendly for those with dietary restrictions. I also love the atmosphere and vibe inside. Washrooms are super clean. So far service has been a hit or miss but we love this place so much we’ll keep coming back until I’m given a reason not to.

Typical Canadian diner , I ordered the BBQ chicken poutine , it was pretty tasty I must say , my wife had a veggie burger and fries which she said was decent, fair prices , not sure if I'd be racing back to return but definitely not a bad experience

As soon as we entered the Restaurant I felt warm and cozy, the ambiance was great and the staff are approachable and accommodating. It was our first time so we didn't know what is good so we just try whichever. The food was nice but a little pricey for it's portion. All in all the experience was awesome and we'll definitely come back if we have time and craving for their food 🫰🏽

My wife wanted me to try Abe s last night. I can t go out to eat at the moment so we ordered. We ordered 2 Philly cheese steaks, my wife had the mud burger and my sone had the Texas. We also order the Quebec poutine, deep fried pickles, onion rings and yam fries. To start they forgot the fried pickles. I get it. It s a Friday night and busy. Not worried but. The poutine gravy tasted burnt, the yam fries were totally mushy, the onion rings tasted fine but seemed to have sat long enough that they were stuck together and super cold. My wife and son really enjoyed their burgers but the cheese steaks me and my daughter had were outrageously small. Like maybe 5 long had maybe a 1/4 of meet and literally 1 piece of pepper on mine. For 23.50 I really expected a lot more. The buns were soggy and tough. This is about the third review I have ever given. Really and truly disappointed. When I m healed we will try to eat in instead of ordering but what a let down.

Update: Went for brunch today. I had the fried chicken breakfast poutine. It was delicious with a subtle spice to it. My wife had the cheesecake french toast. It was soft and not as sweet as I thought it would be... Which is a good thing. The strawberry compote was very flavorful. The cheesecake filling was smooth and had a very pleasant flavour. This remains one of my favorite places to eat at in Airdrie. Original: This a small diner which serves breakfast as well as burgers and sandwiches. The food is always great and the service is always quick. Today two of us ordered one burger and fries to share. The staff outdid themselves by cutting the burger in half and splitting the meal between two plates. There are limited tables available and it stays relatively busy.

Abe s Diner is a family owned modern diner that serves excellent food. Almost anything on the menu can be served gluten free and the staff are very careful about cross contamination.

Very cool little diner. Food is creative, fresh, and reasonably priced.

Ive been coming here for years and although the ownership has changed the service and food remain consistently high.

Highly recommend! I went with my friend who is celiac. We loved that almost everything on the menu was GF. We both got sandwiches and we re super happy with what we ordered. I got the club sandwich and I d come back for this dish alone. The rosemary chicken salad was such a unique touch - it was amazing. I got the chipotle Caesar salad on the side and this was also amazing. The service was great! It s a small restaurant and they make you feel at home. After paying our bills we made sure there wasn t a wait for tables and stayed to chat. The waitress even filled our coffee cups even after paying and didn t make us feel rushed. We ll definitely come back! Edit: We returned 2 years later and enjoyed our experience. The only complaint I have is the portion sizes. For the price I expected more food. It was tasty but I wasn t quite full after finishing the meal.

Normally we enjoy our orders from Abes. We usually call the restaurant to place our order, which has worked fine. Today when we called, we were asked to use their new online order process. So, we gave it a try. We are not impressed. Some items have a required field to add a billable upgrade and you cant bypass as it is required . This forces a higher cost for the item, not cool. Next, during checkout, the tip is automatically added to the total...Again, not cool. Hopefully these areas will be fixed on the online order site. Until then, we wont be placing any more orders ar Abes.

Great gluten free diner. We had the chicken salad club GF and the Heartstopper Burger (non GF) and poutine on the side. It is refreshing for a GF person to have free rein to order anything on the menu. GF Sandwich bread was good and the sandwich was so loaded you would hardly notice the bread anyway. The evening we were there the online orders were coming in pretty heavy so the dine-in service ended up being kind of slow. As long as you arent in a hurry it is definitely worth the wait.

3.50 for a coffee and I wasnt offered a refill. Tried to ask for a refill but the server disappeared after bringing our food. Food tasted good but for the price the portion size was way too small. They tried to seat us at a table along the wall.. the plug-in for the OPEN sign was sticking out 2 from the wall and making the seat very uncomfortable, so we switched tables. Server gave some attitude when they noticed we switched tables and then the quality of service was poor (see above). I would like to support local businesses, but wont be back here.

My daughter and my partner both really enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding of my food allergies even after I explained them and my order arrived contaminated. The staff moved quickly to make a new meal and may have been in too much of a hurry as it came out burnt, but they did make every effort to make things right. Kid-friendliness: They do have a kids menu with several nice options.

Breakfast is OK, but dinner is pretty sub-par. The worst part is how much they charge for their mediocre food and poor service. If you want good food or just food thats worth what it costs, just go to Calgary. Abes is appart of an unfortunate trend of overpriced/disappointing dinning in Airdrie.

So disappointing! I brought my grandson for a special lunch for his birthday. His poutine he said was good but my meal of the lettuce tacos was very very disappointing. You would expect a piece of lettuce to be able to pick up and eat the taco but not in this case, I actually had to eat with a fork. The 2 pieces of lettuce were so tiny and wilted it was unbelievable (i typically would have said something but knew my grandson would have been embarrassed ) but honestly I should not even have to complain when it s so ridiculous to actually serve this and then charge $16! Wow a little steep for what you get!!! The bbq chicken on the taco tasted good but the whole experience of looking forward to a delicious lettuce taco was lost. The lettuce was seriously so wilted I can t believe it was even used in any dish! I use to love this place but it s the third bad experience since moving to Airdrie 6 months ago. I would actually make a special stop to Abe s Diner when I lived in Calgary as the food and service was always top notch! So disappointing for what is very overpriced (I might not have minded the high price if the dish had actually been quality but the TINY WILTED lettuce was unreasonable! Wish I had taken a photo as I often do but was more focused on enjoying my time with my grandson on his special day! We both had milkshakes which certainly looked good but mine was watery, ultra sweet with a lot of whip cream and little milkshake, for $6.50 for a small sized milkshake, it too was disappointing and overpriced. Doubt I will be returning as the great choices of food places I have discovered in Airdrie are now superior to Abe s!

We called on Saturday to see if we could do reservations for Sunday morning. We were told no reservations allowed for breakfast and to just come in, I got there at 9:35 in the morning and there were tables available. When I asked for a table for nine of us, she told me they just got a call for someone else coming in with seven people. I asked her why they were allowed to call in and we were told we were not and why couldn t she take us instead as we were there - The response I got was the owner talked to them. And then the waitress turned around and started talking to a family of four who came in behind me, and she gave them a table that had just opened up instead of talking to me about it. We ended up leaving the restaurant. Definitely not impressed. But thankfully they turned us away because we found an amazing breakfast place that made space for us.

Ordered 2 Abes classic burgers. Burgers were small, greasy and not worth the money charged. Toppings were scare. Tomato was so thinly sliced they shouldnt have bothered including it. Fries and rings were ok nothing to get excited about. All around disappointing experience. Have had much better fast food burgers for half the price. Will not be wasting my hard earned dollars at this establishment again.

First time here. I had the truffle Benedict. The portion was minimal, the hollandaise sauce was bland. The cubed potatoes were deep fried and good, except my basket had a lot of little crunchy crumbles and not cubes potatoes. The other two had chicken & waffle, but it wasn t impressive. Also - I got the mini waffles . We all envisioned 2-3 tiny waffles. Nope. It was 1 and was just a triangular shaped quarter of the full size waffle, so was Neither mini nor waffle(s). The place looked hip and promising, but we were not impressed enough to return. They need to try harder.

I ve been to Abe s many times and LOVED it. However the last time I was at Abe s (about a month ago) I ordered a bun less burger (I dislike the gluten free buns) and yam fries. They gave me a patty with no sauces and a bit into a mouldy yam fry. They made it right and took it off my bill. I figured it was a one off so I ordered take out today again with my family and my burger had wilted lettuce that was turning brown. Taking it off removed all the sauce from my burger. I don t know that I will be back, it seems your quality has gone downhill.

Ive been wanting to try this local gem for a while, and I wasnt disappointed. Everyone else was clearly celebrating Thanksgiving, as we were the only ones there, but that wasnt an issue. Excellent service, and the food was superb. We had the Elk and Bison burgers and one of the specialty poutine half portions, with upgrades to onion rings and yam fries along with a couple of local beverages from Atlas brewing. Its not a cheap burger place, but the quality of the food certainly makes it great value, as you could pay significantly more at a fancy restaurant and get nowhere near the quality. Definitely somewhere that Ill visit again and I look forward to trying more of their menu.

I have seen a lot of five star reviews for this place and I m not sure why. This was my third visit, I thought I would give it one more try. My chocolate milkshake was super runny and did not taste like chocolate at all. The food was mediocre at best. Cooked well but nothing special. Just not super impressed with anything although the service was OK, she was friendly. I won t be back.

This is such a cute eating spot; reminds me of a cute little cafe eating spot in a small town. Its not very big, but its so cozy and cute inside and great attention has been paid to every detail of your experience. They even provide you with a full sized tea pot, so you dont have to ask for hot water with every cup. Food was spectacular and service is excellent!

Good experience here. My husband really liked the veggie poutine as it was hot and flavourful. My breakfast sandwich was pretty good. I feel the sandwich would have been better on toasted sliced bread rather than the brioche bun. Down fall is that no side options were available and you could only have hashbrowns. Customer service was cheerful and pleasant. Seating is limited and tight but understandable considering the space available. It creates a cozy atmosphere.

Terrible service. Went during the day in an off peak time and waited nearly 20 min just to get drinks. Dark haired server with tattoos was super rude and standoffish. Food was cold and subpar. When we brought up the issues she brushed it off and didn t even address the issue. Paid full price and barely touched our food. I d heard such good things about this place so we were disappointed it was such a let down. Do better.

Today was our first time dining at Abes and we were already talking about when wed return half way through the meal. Our daughter had pancakes and the best milkshake weve ever had, and we had mains. It was all delicious, served in a reasonable amount of time by friendly staff. The only consideration is that theres not a tonne of seating and its justifiably busy, so we had to wait a while to be seated- but worth it. We cant wait to try more from Abes.

We love this place and have ordered many times! Delicious filling food, and great pricing. Also I just wanna say THANK YOU guys for being one of the few restaurants left who still serve a real veggie burger instead of those beyond meat and impossible burgers that everyone s switched to. If I wanted my burger to look, taste, and smell like beef, then I would just eat a beef burger. Lol. I much prefer the taste and ingredients of an actual veggie patty, and I very much appreciate that you guys haven t switched! My husband on the other hand, very much loves the elk burger. Thanks for making us all happy!

We went for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is conveniently located within Kingsview shopping mall. It has a nice ambiance. We were greeted upon entering and quickly shown to our table. The server was pleasant, attentive and efficient and food was served quickly. We had the traditional breakfast and banana bread French toast, $15.00 & $16.50 respectively. Neither of us thought either dish was in any way special, particularly for the price. The banana bread is two slices and is dusted with icing sugar and comes with two small rashers of bacon. That s it! I was expecting something different maybe topped with additional bananas. It was a bit stodgy. The traditional breakfast wasn t anything special either. Way too many carbs all in one place. We may try this place again in the distant future, perhaps the breakfast poutine has something better to offer. Perhaps a larger choice of traditional N American breakfast fare would help. We have just moved here a month ago and have found much better independent breakfast joints already. We loved the place and service the food was just a bit mah.

The coffee was good, I had the breakfast poutine and my friend had a classic breakfast. The poutine was outstanding, beautiful poached eggs and that truffle hollandaise was awesome! The one nit pick is that they havent dusted the ceiling in a while, I know its a pain but its a bit off putting.
