While I'm assuming staff was short or new management, there were a couple of people who walked out when they'd been waiting for a while, 30 minutes, and no service. Ours went well, majority speaking, the food was great, it's quiet and calm, but the service left a lot to be desired. We had a plate on our table that was empty, and 5 staff members walked past/checked in and did not take the plate and waited again for 15 minutes for someone to bring us take out containers, only when asked.

The food was delicious I got the Open Hot Turkey Sandwhich (in the picture) with no cranberries it was amazing and I really enjoyed it I would recommend it but it is on their summer special menu, which means that it is a limited time meal.

We forget about Humpty's since it is kind of hidden but we always enjoy it when we go. The staff is very friendly and attentive and the food is great quality for the price. I had the meat lovers pan scrambler and enjoyed it and had to take about 25% home. My wife had the eggs and pancakes and said the pancakes were very tasty.

This place in Medicine Hat needs a make over very badly. One thing which really made me upset is..if you do not have their card..you do not get a discount..even if youre a Senior. Majority of restaurants gives Senior Discounts....yes guess what ..I will not recommend this place to travellers coming this way on Holidays or trips here. This place is so out dated..needs paint.. and new decor...plus good cleaning. Plus what I paid for my food was completely redicious..yes I still left a tip if youre wondering.

I brought my mom here not to long ago and I ordered sausages with perogies and my mom got an omelette. My food was so bad, the perogies were doughy and mushy. the sausages were cold right out of the fridge. they didnt even attempt to warm them up. I asked the lady if they can warm them up for me and she brought them back and is like. Are these warm enough for you in a condescending manner. Im like well at least they are warm now. My Moms omelette was very sad, it had about a half a mushroom total. like 3 small slices. the egg wasnt very fluffy at all and the entire meal was just lacking. These guys are cutting corners at all costs. I guess you could say they are cutting customers too. I recommend Ihop. way better food way better service and your food is made fresh and cooked fresh, not precooked and refrigerated.

The food was good and the service was really good. Humpties has the same menu no matter where you eat. And the quality is the same in most locations. Humpties is always a good choice for breakfast. I like that you have choices when it comes to your sides, such as perogies or fruit. Food

Title: Mixed Feelings at Humptys Big Plate Diner - Medicine Hat Rating: I recently ordered the Meatlovers Pan Scrambler from Humptys Big Plate Diner in Medicine Hat via Skip The Dishes. The meal itself was delicious, full of flavor and exactly what I was craving. However, my overall experience was bittersweet due to issues with the delivery aspect of my order. Unfortunately, my order arrived without the drink and utensils I had requested. This is not the first time Ive encountered this problem with orders from this location. When youre staying in a hotel, the absence of utensils becomes particularly frustrating, turning what should have been a convenient meal into an inconvenience. While the restaurant serves great food, it seems theres a gap in their delivery order fulfillment process. It appears that the staff may need further training or a better system to ensure that orders are complete before they leave for delivery. This oversight affects the dining experience, especially for those of us relying on delivery services for our meals. In conclusion, while I enjoy the cuisine at Humptys Big Plate Diner, theres room for improvement in their handling of delivery orders. I hope to see these issues addressed in the future for a better customer experience.

Got the cowboy breakfast and found the ham was a bit dry for my liking and the diced hashbrowns were super bland. Though all that being said we did get there near the end of breakfast hour so that could have an impact. 6/10 may recommend

Review Date: July 13th, 2015 Humpty Dumpty had a great fall into the skillet and onto my plate. About 36 hours (I think, it was a long drive) in to our cross country trip, it was time to stop for food. Following road signs, we all thought Humpty s sounded like a fun place to eat based on the just the name. No Googling or Yelping here. We picked it based solely on the name. What a yummy decision it was. As we pulled up to park, I honestly thought the place wasn t open. There were hardly any other cars around and looking at the restaurant from the outside, it appeared to be closed. But, that didn t deter 5 hungry people from trying to go in. Luckily, first appearances were false as they were open and ready to serve food it just wasn t busy at that time. The hostess was nice enough to give us a big enough booth to sit us all and gave us our menus and told us to have a nice day. I was ready to pour over the menu and see what a sit-down restaurant in Canada offers. I was quickly surprised by how many common items were on the menu. Pancakes? Yep. Burgers? Many varieties to pick from. Bacon, eggs, toast? Yup, yup, yup. I ended up settling on a basic breakfast. On the current menu, it is similar to the Famous Cowboy Breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast, and mini pierogies? I think it came with mini-pierogies and that was unusual and unique for a breakfast item. This was my first time having them so why not? As the food was served, we all attacked our plates with a hungry fervor of someone who is traveling across two countries. With it being a pretty standard breakfast aside from the pierogies, I wasn t expecting much in the terms of flavor but wow! The basic look of the food hid the fact that it was packed full of great flavor. Mixing my jellied toast with the eggs was just what I needed. The bacon was alright tasting from what I remember. A bit dry but eggs helped that. As I was working my way through the food, I kept eyeing the pierogies. I knew it was time to try one halfway through my meal. I nervously stabbed it with my fork and dipped a bit of it in my egg sauce. One small bite. Then a big bite. Then I inhaled the rest. I quickly picked up the other one and made it disappear in a matter of seconds. I fell in love with those little circles of whatever makes them up. My meal came with a white dipping sauce but I don t remember what it was. Maybe sour creme? As I resumed my meal, we all ruminated on our trip so far and everyone seemed satisfied with their meals. By the times my fork was put down, I was satiated, as was everyone else. The meal was definitely a home run aside from the bacon being a bit of a let down. Glancing around, I noticed the interior felt familiar and then it struck me. This place made me think of a Denny s restaurant. I ve been to our local Denny s many times so I felt right at home, in an odd sort of way. All that was missing was the sassy waiter named Tim and intoxicated people. All the King s horses and all the King s men couldn t put Humpty together again. But the King s cook could place him on my plate.

I have zero bad things to say. Kids eat free Fridays which is really cool and makes it affordable place for families to go! Cant wait for my future baby to join us there!
