Today I ordered some food for lunch and when I picked up and brought out to my vehicle, the bag ripped and my food fell out ☹️ I went inside and asked if they were able to replace my toast and my son’s kid’s meal, and without question they remade our food in record time! The staff were kind and empathic, they made the whole ordeal a good experience. I’m very pleased with this interaction and would like to commend them on their overall customer service ❤️

Eversince Humpty's Restaurant closed its last and only Millwoods ravine franchise in Edmonton. The closest Humpty's is in Fort Saskatchewan and I am not going to drive there to order my favorite Monte Crisco Sandwich. Still the very best sandwich in my opinion than any other restaurant across Canada. To bad the franchise have let things slip and they have to downsize/closing of their restaurants. 😞 Also miss the building yr own omelet another of my favorite 😍 Bring Humpty's back to Edmonton

A skip driver delivered the wrong breakfast to us so we called the restaurant to see if ours was still there and the driver had lied to us about it.(He dropped our food off somewhere else as well). So we were told our only option was to do a refund thru skip. Then they put us on hold when we asked if we would have to order again and the manager came on and said he would remake our breakfast and deliver it to us personally. The restaurant went out of their way to redo our order and dropped it off while it was still HOT. It was the best customer service we’ve had in a very long time. The food was great as well and we were really impressed with how they handled this situation. This restaurant and manager took responsibility for a couriers careless mistake and showed us the upmost respect and empathy. Would definitely order again- or go in more often! Sometimes I wish we could tip the restaurant and not the courier! They 100% deserved it after this.

Me and my friends had Dinner at Humpty's. Place is just by the edge of the City, and easily accessible with tons of parking. Ordered their Salisbury steak which includes 2 sides, I ordered coleslaw and mashed potato. The food did not disappoint. Very fair price for the serving, will definitely come back again.

Well became somewhat homeless ,and between places to live. Not ashamed to say I was in a pickle. I was able to use services and they always gave me cold water when I asked. When I could afford something to order I arrived after closing time, needless to say they took my order and allowed me to wait for my food, thank you Humpties.

Fantastic food! Fantastic service! I arrived 11 minutes before closing, and they sat me and served me, dine in. Amazing. It's so hard to find a hot proper meal as a truck driver in Northern Canada. I cannot thank the staff here enough, for serving me so close to closing. Thank-you thank-you thank-you! Also some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever had.

Eggshells in my benny 🙃 I called in an order for pickup and everything was fine. I came to pickup and they ask for who and I said for Hunter and the hostess said “No, we don’t have that. We have one pick up order only.” As the server was telling me this, 3 old men walk up and step in front of me and and the hostess helps them as if I was never there in the first place. So I just stepped aside at that point and I walked around to the one waitress who was standing right nearby and she confirms there’s no order for me. On the phone they said 15-20 minutes, I gave 30 before arriving. I said to the waitress “okay, is this not your telephone number?” and showed them my call log and she confirmed that was their number. She said “yeah only for hunter” . She heard me in the beginning say pickup for Hunter so why that didn’t click I don’t know. So, I say “yeah, it’s the traditional eggs benedict.” and she said “yeah :)” and I said “Okay that’s what I’m telling you. I’m here to pick up for Hunter. I’m Hunter.” She then says “oh. okay” and goes to get it. Then I pay and ask “can I get the receipt” and the hostess responds “there’s one in your bag” and I had to ask again for my receipt after paying because this is a work expense. I shouldn’t have to be arguing for this. I get to the car to have the worst breakfast I’ve had in possibly my lifetime. Eggshells in my food, hollandaise sauce was like microwaved gelatine, hash browns where fine but that’s about it. I was so disappointed by this and I felt compelled to leave a review for their scattered service and poor quality.

All was going well... Until my husband moved the last piece of his French toast only to find baked on chewing gum on his plate. When we said something, the waitress said the manager was coming in. The manager proceeded to call us Liars, stating that he cleaned the plates himself. The gum was baked on and hard. So it didnt come from us, he continued to call is Liars. I will never be back

I like this place. Some might not. It still ranks high on my list. Nothing but great service and good food. Im not originally from this city but every time I eat at this location I kind of feel like Im home. If youre the type who is nit-picky and hard to please, theres other places for you to go. If youre a people person and can handle impromptu conversations with random people, this is your place. I especially enjoy when the elder members of our community meet here all at once. Theyre a riot to watch. I get a picture of the way things used to be and hope such a thing comes again with the new generations. Everything about this place takes me back to Sunday brunch after church back home. Its perfectly imperfect and doesnt need to be more. You leave with a full belly and a smile. Try it out. If youre like me, bring some tums.

I was there August 3rd 08:45 am, at the Humptys restaurant on the Alaska Hwy in Fort St. John. I had just come off a long night shift , I was tired and cranky. I asked her if I could go to a table where I was farther away from other diners ( because of not risking getting covid as a security officer in an essential service) and she graciously agreed. I took table 10. She was quick to get me coffee which I so desperately needed as I would be up all day repacking and going out to a different location where I would do nightshift again running on NO sleep. I ordered the Cowboy breakfast. Two of each, eggs, bacon, Humpty RWA bangers and premium glazed ham. The eggs were done perfectly not too runny. I never liked overcooked bacon but theirs was perfect.I could pick it up and it didnt just crumble when I bite into it. I love their bangers. They taste almost like an Italian sausage with all the spices. The ham was slightly dry but Ive certainly seen much worse. I was given a choice of a out 5 different breads for toast. There was what seemed to be endless coffee offered to me. Service was very good. She always seemed to have a smile on her face.i hadnt been there for a long time and had forgot about their food as Ive been so busy and tired working long shifts with no time off for about a month. I will definitely be going back. Good job to the waitress I had. Very good customer service. She ought to get a raise. I truly hope that Humpys knows just what excellent value she adds to their franchise.

December 22, 2023

We absolutely love in a world where everything seems to be short staffed. Which I am more than understanding of this! However, when the poor waitress whos working alone with one cook has to advise you that they close in 10 minutes but their signage and online advertising says differently. Is because their higher ups wont change this. Well here you go higher ups. Change the freakin advertising. There are only so many places i can actually take my kids to eat. And when I have to feel guilty and leave and not take them out as promised because the owner fails to be diligent. Heres your one star! This is not on your staff - its on you.

Ordered on SkipTheDishes so I don t know if they have different quality standards for that than in restaurant, but it was the most sub-standard meal I ve ever gotten from a restaurant. The bennies were $20 and I don t know what they made the hollandaise out of, but it was essentially a translucent gravy. Even the bacon and eggs were just terrible quality. It was terribly over priced and barely edible. The hash browns were actually pretty good though, so if that s all you want, this is your place.

Friendly server (working on her own). Food was far below average....very disappointing. I used to love Humptys about 12+ years ago but its clear that quality has dramatically dropped over the years I have been away. Kids had spaghetti and meatballs. The pasta was overcooked...mushy. Packaged pasta sauce that tasted like seasoned tomato paste. The meatballs were rubbery and previously frozen. I was surprised when my kids spit the meatballs out until I tasted them. One child had the kids fish and caesar salad. She loved it. I had the Eggs Benedict. The hash browns were tasty. The hollandaise sauce on the bene was FOUL. I was nervous to even try it when it came out as it had a slight pale grey/green colour to it (it should obviously be a nice healthy yellow due to the egg yolk). It tasted like a thick bland salty oil. I was told it was made with a powdered mixture. Just disgusting. I commented on my issues with our meals. Was given an oh well response stating thats how the meals are made. Prices are more than what they should be for below average food. We were charged full price for all meals when the bill came. No comment at all about our issues. I felt the issues with our food should have been addressed. I asked for a reduction in the total bill seeing as several items were not even consumed because of their poor quality. After what felt like more than 10 minutes the server came back with an amended bill with one of the kids meals removed off of it. Go elsewhere unless youre happy with less than mediocre. As I write this, my stomach is turning after the food I consumed....I feel ill.
