Commodore Restaurant in Edmonton

Great place! Lovely little diner that makes it feel like youre in a small town. I love the old school feel

Love love love it here. Service is awesome. Food is exactly what you want when youre going to a diner. The ONLY thing is the live music is too loud. Would be great without an amp for such a small space.

I ve been going here forever. Very fun spot. Pricey for the portions but staff is fun and the vibe is neat.

Just like childhood

One of Edmontons oldest diners with the original 50s Diner vibes with great prices on all-day breakfast options and sandwiche with fries. I always have breakfast with coffee n tst for under $15. Things are just as they should be and I hope they stick around for another 75yrs.

Today I have pleasure to go back to commodore after 11 years. Food is great Happens I was working in the area definitely. I go back I love the salmon especially the way was made 11 yeas ago . Food

Great little place for breakfast, wonderful personal service. Food was very good!

One of my favourite places in Edmonton. I ve always had fantastic service and I ll never regret a dollar spent here. Love the old school vibe- it s been seemingly untouched and there aren t enough places like this anymore.

The server was fantastic!! So nice and attentive. The food was delicious and prices are reasonable. Would go back!

Codiner and I decided to give it a try on a pleasant Saturday morning, after walking past on many occasions. It was very busy, but we snagged the last table (turnover is quick, though). Its a landmark in town, but its also a greasy spoon, so adjust your expectations. Our service was fast and friendly, the food was tasty/reasonably priced, and the vibe was 70s diner. The downtown location does mean parking isnt free, but is available on the street.

Love this place! Authentic is the best word to describe this place. It reminded me of breakfast at my Grandmas growing up. Not fancy, but comforting.

A home cooked breakfast with real potatoes. Fairly economical and open since 1940.

If you need a breakfast spot, this is the place! Food was great, prices are amazing, atmosphere was awesome. The lady who served us was the nicest server Ive had the pleasure of dealing with in years!

I love community minded folks that run a solid diner. Its good for humanity.

Best food, best cost best staff

Dont really understand the hype. Had a club sandwich. Not cheap in price but cheap in ingredients (processed cheese, factory bread, factory seasoning, frozen fries). If you dont value the cutesy nostalgic diner atmosphere, there is much better food nearby for the same price or less.

Perfect little hole in the wall restaurant. The food was good the three times I have been here, and the service is excellent. Definitely my new favorite in Edmonton. Would highly recommend to anyone

Coffee is very good.

Like stepping back in time

Family owned and good service and live music sometimes by local musician

Baby liked spinning your chairs lol

Great stop for breakfast, the prices and portions are just perfect. Very glad this Edmonton staple is still around! Best place downtown for a homestyle diner meal, with friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend stopping by if you re around, Downtown wouldn t be the same without it!

If you like the greasy spoon atmo , friendly spicy staff , good food if these are more important than a pretentious image you will like this place .

Me and my honey went for breakfast on Saturday morning while we visited from Calgary and the service was great and the food was outstanding! The live music was really neat and atmosphere was great!! People were very pleasant and it felt like a hometown small diner! We will be back whenever we visit Edmonton!

Delicious breakfast, friendly service and a cool shop - it fits!

I got a cinnamon roll and a drink to go one morn. The bun was tiny and not worth the money.

No parking couldnt find the place oh well....

The cheapest place for a basic breakfast that you will find. Old school and retro. Very pleasant waitresses!

One of those classic spots that serve classic breakfast for a super reasonable price and always had great service.

Came here on Sunday. Hanging out with some friends for breakfast. It was a full house here. The food took about 40 minutes. I got the breakfast burrito. It was decent but I wished it was a little bigger. There was also live music. That was pretty cool.

Great food, great service at a GREAT price

I would honestly recommend this restaurant to all of my friends

Love this place. Always awesome.

Tiny little spot, right downtown Edmonton. Very inexpensive, big plates of food, home-style cooking

Great diner food, fast, priced well. Would recommend.

Great old family style dinner, prices great. Food was excellent. Service was excellent as well. We would definitely go back Parking: Parked in the impark lot on the side street

What can I say, other than they dont make em like this anymore. An absolute Edmonton institution. 15$ for a 3 course meal? Unreal! <3 Food : 4/5

Phenomenal old school diner, family owned and been around forever. Great staff, great prices. Love it!

Cozy little diner that takes you back in time. Great home style meals and really attentive staff. Fully recommend for a quick lunch or anytime breakfast.

Love this place. They had music playing when I went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and the musician was really good! I had the Mushroom Swiss burger and it was delicious! I will definitely be back here!

Great live entertainment and attentive staff. Old school atmosphere.

Having lived in this city since 1987. I always went by this place and never tried it until today. Great food for great price

Been around forever so wanted to try, food was super fast which is great if your downtown office worker and was pretty good. Nice staff and a big selection of items

I always love it here. The price is right and an Edmonton staple.

They are so sweet and it s cheap and very cute

Homestyle amazing cafe

Had a Great Breakfest and the waitress was wonderful and beautiful.

Great place to eat brunch. Amazing atmosphere

Food was good service was exceptional!

A diner! A proper diner! If you are looking for this and know how perfect an actual diner is come here.

My favourite restaurant in Western Canada....

Food is good diner food, friendly staff, good prices.

I would give six stars if I could! The food here is homey and delicious for great prices, and the waitress who helped us was very kind and engaging!

Good price and service.

Great place , friendly and fast service. Great place to eat and read the paper with a coffee

Great hamburger have been trying to go for years I finally went Cute little historic place very friendly Recommended dishes

Its a piece of Edmontons history. Its basic food with great service. A nice family own business

Love the live music on Saturdays mornings, always great food and service

The waitresses were wonderful.

Been coming for years - consistently friendly, fast, and yummy.

When I learned about the oldest restaurant in Edmonton I knew I had to drop by and eat there. The service is great and food was good too. The menu items are priced so you wont break the bank if your on a budget. A top quality greasy spoon restaurant! I understand now how theyve stayed open for so long. Its located at Jasper Ave near Corona Station so its also convenient for public transport users. I highly recommend.

Phenomenal service, food, and atmosphere. Great for a quick bite or a slow morning sipping coffee.

I ve been going to this restaurant for 12 yrs and I ve never had any issues I love the atmosphere the ladies that work there are always friendly

Great family run cafe. Nostalgic atmosphere and great service!

Phenomenal service, great atmosphere, and comforting food! Loved the coffee too. Never had to ask for a refill

Its been years since I visited the Commodore. Brought my partner while we visiting the city as Ive often spoke about it. Not a lot has changed. They include GST in their prices:) its a really nice treat when what you see is what you get. The price has up a bit over 20 years lol but still the best value around Im sure. Our server was so much fun! She had more personality than any server we have encountered in years. Food is basic, what grandma would whip up, but that is what makes it great. Really glad we stopped by, thanks for the full bellys and good time.

An Edmonton institution. Its a classic sort of diner that offers basic breakfast and lunch options for some of the lowest prices youll see these days (although the prices have gone up along with everything else post-pandemic). I love the vibes here. Very unpretentious and welcoming place and they offer some kitschy but entertaining musical acts on the weekends. I feel like more of a true Edmontonian now that Ive visited the Commodore!

Nice cozy place and welcoming staff. Prices are affordable but the food is basic most likely to keep the prices affordable. I enjoyed the hospitality and the classic pictures with the nice background music. I recommend it for coffee and socialization.

Love the vibe..

this is my favorit lunch place when I am at the office, The service is amazing, they know many of their customers by name, and even if its your first time, Roxanne makes sure you feel like you are eating at home. the place has an overall homey down to earth vibe to it. The food is great and it has the Mushroom swiss burger is to die for, mouth watering goodness all around. if you only have one day in Edmonton, this is the downtown jewl you want to vist. this place has been around ever since Edmonton has been a City and its a staple of the City.

Old school diner with good food and service. Recommended!

A lovely hidden gem in downtown Edmonton. What a wonderful experience!

Came here from reading all the great reviews online. Its good. Definitely a historic eatery in Edmonton. Walls are lined with articles, photos, and lots of memorabilia, definitely dig the old school vibe. The service is top-notch--staff is friendly and welcoming. Food and the value are decent. Was expecting bigger portions, but the prices are inexpensive. Definitely worth a visit. (For the Americans, the sign says they take Discover Card, but mine was declined!)

Our favourite greasy spoon. It took a while but Dave (the cook/owner) got my brekkie absolutely perfect. And I m picky lol Angie is our favourite server in the city and always makes us feel special. Everyone needs to eat at this time capsule. Kid-friendliness: They treat my daughter awesome!

Live Folk music with the best breakfast deal around??? Food : 5/5

Absolutely amazing food and service here. Very cool atmosphere, old school diner feel. The servers are awesome, my server both times was Angie, and she s so friendly and great customer service. Very authentic Parking: No issues very inexpensive Kid-friendliness: Just amazing

Stopped here for a quick breakfast and Im glad I did. The omelette was fresh and tasty and the service was on point. I appreciate the inexpensive prices compared to rising inflation at almost every other restaurant in Aug 2023.

What a charm of a place! I was in Edmonton for less than 24 hours, but i needed to stop at this place for some breakfast and a chat with Dave, such history!

One of the hidden gems edmonton has to offer. Family owned. Awesome staff and good food

servings just right compare to other diner we went to. we had breakfast here still filling. coffees great its pretty strong than what the others serve.

Fresh food. Simple selection. Great price.

Thank you for breakfast and helping me with my coffee. The meal was delicious

The decor inside reminds me of an old school Diner with the pivoting stools around the counter. Old school milkshake maker and Pie display case. We were fortunate enough to be there late morning to catch a fellow playing some music

Live music at breakfast, good food, great prices

Great food to price ratio for breakfast. A classic joint.

This is my new favourite spot for brunch!

The staff were so much fun and are the reason Ill be going back. Have you had the gravy though!

I went to Commodore for my birthday with my mom. It was exactly what I love about small, humble places. Its a little cramped and I dont love the table 1 foot from the bathroom door. But overall, I had a great time and I enjoyed the live music as well. Food : 4/5

Good food and very nice staff. Not to expensive.

Great vibes! Cute vintage diner! Server Angie was incredibly friendly and with excellent service. Their jam sampler is so cute, lots of options for your toast!! Will be back for super decently priced breakfast/lunch!

Good food, great value, and awesome atmosphere

When I walked into the Commodore I was reminded of the warm and familiar memory of those good old Zellers restaurants. There were only 4 customers when I arrived and I was greeted warmly by the waitress. I ve always loved those greasy spoon restaurants that serve simple yet delicious food at a surprisingly reasonable price. I had one of the specials of the day (coffee, corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and gravy, a starter side of beef noodle soup and vanilla ice cream with chocolate drizzle) for only 13$. I used to eat the same kind of meal as a child, and I loved it! The restaurant started filling up with customers whom the waitress greeted by name, and for most of those customers she knew what their order was going to be. For a family run business to have lasted for over 75 years you know they are doing it right. I will definitely be returning to the Commodore to eat again and again and again.

Fabulous home cooking with great service every time.

Went here for breakfast and I will never visit again. Dont understand why people like this place. The part of my meal that I did eat was flavorless, which Im thinking was a good thing because, the part that did have flavour was stomach turning. I usually withhold my bad reviews but when I leave a restaurant trying to stop myself from getting sick I have to speak up.

Beautiful breakfast! Friendly inviting staff, the ambience brought back cherished memories for the both of us. Thank you

Classic diner foood great value and good service

Great service, all day breakfast. My wife loved the Banana Bread french toast with bacon and glazed banana was outstanding. I enjoyed the homemade corn beef hash, great flavours. This has become a weekend favorite for breakfast with unique decor. Old fashioned diner.

Good food, fantastic owners! But must have cash only.

Love this place! Its like stepping back in time. Iconic Edmonton diner.

80s bistro food. Food is very affordable. Lots of Western-Chinese items on the menu as well.

Awesome breakfast

Do you want homemade breakfast but is kinda lazy today? COME HERE! Great food, great coffee and GREAT PEOPLE. One of the best food I had in town. Highly recommended.

Very pleasant diner, good food, and live music. Stopped by for lunch. Great soup. Nice pork chops. Wonderful chocolate pudding. Good service. All for an amazing price.

My favourite greasy spoon in town and Edmontons oldest restaurant continuously run by the same family. The style of the place is very 1940s, probably because it might still be sporting its original decore. Its diner food. I cant say Ive tried everything on the menu, but Ive enjoyed what I have tried. Its a great place for comfort food for bang for the buck. I think their burgers are very illustrative. Theyre not fancy. Theyre not huge. But whoever is in the kitchen knows how to cook a burger on a flat-top. You get that nice brown crust on the outside, juicy on the inside, some basic toppings (including bacon if you like) on a fresh bun. You get some perfectly drinkable diner coffee. And you get out being surprised by how low the bill was. Other things they do a good job with are their eggs benedict (served on a fresh biscuit rather than an English muffin), any of their soups of the day Ive ever tried (even mushroom, and Im not normally a fan of mushroom soup) and anything involving corned beef.

I would highly recommend. Commodore restaurant came up when I Googled places close to eat Breakfast.It was awesome. The food was great ,The coffee shop atmosphere was homey. My server, Angie, was friendly and made the meal even better.

What a fun and great experience! Felt like stepping in a time machine!

We arrived at 14:30 on a Sunday and they were quiet so about to close early, thankfully they let us in. Our food was delicious and well worth the price. Weve been in Edmonton for 5 days and wish we had found it earlier in our trip.

Breakfast was just the way I ordered it. Theyre also not shy with their coffee. Absolutely delicious great service to boot. Breakfast is served all day

The prices here are so good. Its a great place for classic diner food. Cute atmosphere. My blt had a good amount of toppings. They had a guy singing on Sunday which was nice. The only thing that was a bit sad was that a BLT was my third choice. They didnt have the ingredients for the two things I asked for previously.

Great little greasy spoon!

Best place in edmonton for a decent meal at a fair price.

I went here with my friends for breakfast on Saturday for the first time and was pleasantly surprised that there was live music playing! The food was really good, it reminded me of restaurants in my home town. I ll definitely be going back :)

This rating is more like 3.5 stars. Came here for breakfast/brunch. Place is clearly a local favourite so we decided to try as we are visiting. Very cute diner-looking place and frequented by locals. You can walk in and sit anywhere that s free. The staff are very friendly and menu is easy to navigate. We tried the omelette, French toast and hot cakes. Omelette was good, would recommend getting that as it s your best bang for your buck. The hot cakes were pretty standard and well-portioned. The French toast was unfortunately underwhelming. It didn t have the powdered sugar and wasn t sweet at all.

Came here after seeing great reviews. We were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and the food was great.

Everything is amazing. Great friendly staff, good tasting food with great prices. Live music on weekends. If you dont know about this place now you do. Go visit.

This is an Edmonton institution that has been around for decades. The room is unpretentious and definitely located on an interesting part of jasper avenue. I recall this area not being this sketchy until maybe a few years ago when businesses beside it started closing down. As a result, the immediate area certainly has seen better days. But besides that, Commodore remains a great place for breakfast or lunch. I like the hot Turkey, which is nicely served with both white and dark meat, and a generous helping of crinkle cut French fries. The coffee here is good too, as is the dessert. The service is always on point, and the live music here is surprisingly good.

Best diner in Edmonton. Really nice staff. Super reasonable prices and tasty eats. Theres a reason so many people have the Commodore in their regular rotation! Kid-friendliness: We take our kid, and she loves it!

Small portions, but the food was good and the service was even better.

For many years Ive been seeing this restaurant along Jasper Avenue and heard nothing but great things, however due to my busy schedule I never found time. Today was finally my chance due to an appointment nearby and I was met with warm greetings by the staff. The place has a warm comforting vibe from classic 90s era diners due to the simplicity. I ordered the Liver and Onions for lunch with fries and butterscotch pudding on the side. It was amazing. Almost forgot to mention the pea soup was also very delicious. Havent had a lunch this good in so long. Im aching to come back in the weekend for the good eats, good vibes and good service .

Went last week and food was amazing! Waitress was really funny and the food delicious! Great hidden gem!

Food was really good excellent service

Food and service was excellent.

Overrated. The vibes are nice but the food for the price is not that good. I would go to A&W before going there

The food is so good, and the service is excellent. This most recent visit even had live music on a Saturday morning.

Classic diner. Edmonton bucket list.

I actually am obsessed with this small out of the way diner. The food is amazing the staff are amazing and super friendly and attentive. The prices are amazing for the quality of food you get. Feels just like home with a retro twist.

The bestest

Love everything about this place. Been here a large handful of times by now and it s still my favourite greasy spoon

Waited 40 minutes for a cold burger for lunch, ended up late for work. This place fell off in standards over the years. Never again.

Live music and breakfast was very good Parking: No parking Food : 5/5 |

I went there before flying out great food, amazing prices and live music It was a great place to eat some French toast

This place has magic that i cant put a finger on- right up there with naked cafe

First time here for me although my friend (2nd time) and I were born and raised in Edmonton. Stopped in for lunch after Sunday Farmers Market and this isnt somewhere I would normally go on a weekday or Saturday due to traffic. The corned beef & cabbage special came with soup & dessert ($12.50) and was great value. I appreciated that our server advised us on different menu items and that many items were made in the kitchen by the family members whove owned it for decades. My friend enjoyed her burger ($11) but not the crinkle fries or fake cheese (which I sometimes like on a burger). Service was attentive and friendly and will definitely go back to try more items.

The one. The only. The Classic. If you live in Edmonton and have never eaten at the Commie, YOU ARE A FOOL. EAT HERE. BE NICE TO PEOPLE HERE. THIS PLACE IS A DAMN PRECIOUS INSTITUTION.

Went here while I was visiting based on other Google reviews and they were no lie! The place is perfect just the way it is. Delicious food with good portions and good value, lovely and attentive staff, and we even had live music while we ate and woke up. Superb diner!

Delicious food, amazing service, good music... list goes on

Friendly, outgoing service.....will take family back

Excellent food. Great atmosphere and music. Friendly!!!

Used to love this resturant would have it 10 stars. The owners were amazing new me and my family by name. Large menu with lots of options. Now its changed smaller menu lots of great thing no longer there. Shorter and inconsistent hours. Only open on weekend if she decideds to work. I know alot of people who have stopped going because of this thats why it now gets one star

I was never there,... I just mobility scootered by the place... ,...but Ive heard good things,...

Great simple diner food. Amazing pie and ice cream. Breakfast was good although smaller portions

Seriously, I dont even know why we need to rate the Commodore; it should just be known amongst all Edmontonians how awesome the Commodore is. Dave (& Willi) and all the staff make it feel like youre at home and among friends. Food is good, traditional, and brings you back in time. Live music helps set the tone but its still one of the best hang outs in the city. Viva la Commodore!!!

Great breakfast. Great service

It s a convenient local restaurant to go for brunch. The price is cheap but the food is delicious.

Amazing place.. hand-pressed burgers very rare to find.. I ate two of them.. Roxanne is an awesome server shes on top of the game.... I will bring my child there for milkshake.. there is so much history in that building compltely positive.. thank you again .. Very very courteous service

Delicious homemade food, friendly service and great music

Good simple food at a very good price. Service is great.

Greasy spoon in the best way possible! Loved it.

Best breakfast in downtown core. !!! No place like it, period!

Great food and service and very good prices .. I will definitely visit again

This is a nice little spot, step back in time.

I absolutely love it here! The breakfasts are amazing! Service is very nice, and the atmosphere is small town diner in the city. Cant wait until the brunch music shows are back!

Awesome breakfast and Chinese special. The servers are excellent. Great place...

Good food great price!

I loved it. Friendly , and prompt.

Just ok. Nothing to right home about and I would not take a date there

Best restaurant in Downtown Edmonton.

If you want enjoy an unfussy meal in a diner straight out of last century, this is the place for you. Inexpensive and good food, endless coffee plus friendly service.

Such a cute little place! Food was great and affordable, the staff were super friendly and it just generally had an amazing atmosphere.

Good food with friendly staff. They must be doing something right since they have been around since 1942. I think last time I was there was 50 years ago. Still good food.

Great place , friendly service, food is great

Great spot for a quick, cheap breakfast. The food was pretty good!

Great food. Great service. Affordable. Would strongly recommend. Try their Daily Specials.

Awesome breakfast! We now have a new restaurant!!!

The greasy spoon hero of downtown - with a cheerful staff and endless coffee to warm the soul.

Been going here for years, Always a good time! Great prices and food!

Its was effn amazing I highly recommend simple comfort food ham burger stake and onions with fries and gravy an the home made soup definitely sealed the deal and very affordable

Always Great food & Service

The service is great, but thats about the best I can say. Food is passable, for the price I wouldnt say its a good deal as the taste is sub par at best. Coffee is good but buyer beware its small and they charge for refills. Honestly go elsewhere as this place doesnt put stock in quality.

It has a real classic diner feel to it. The coffee is a hit or miss, for full body flavor. Im not a fan of the bacon, it used to be great!

Good food, great atmosphere and the best hot sauce selection going!

Great little diner with great service and no surprises.

Great food and very fast service especially during breakfast time. Also has a retro kinda feel to it, which is awesome.

Food and service are great. Disappointed with how close tables were with no plexi to separate.

A nice simple no frills restaurant. Good proportions and reasonable prices. Seems like a nice place for brunch or lunch. Had a surprisingly good chicken fried rice.

Fast friendly service and good food for a good price.
