First time to Tracy’s. Order a couple sandwiches and soup, for myself and my guests. Absolutely great. Good taste, quantity and quick service. Clean premises and cheerful. Will be back. We were highly recommended to them. Comfortable booths and friendly server. We will be back.
I’ve been many times and have never had a bad meal or experience. Old school diner vibes and when alone I always sit at the counter. Steak and eggs, bacon and eggs, hamburger and fries, Rueben sandwich, and milk shakes are my favourites.
Great breakfast and brunch place near Aberdeen Street. Lots of cool nick nacks in the store, but the food was the real star. I had the lighter breakfast and enjoyed the bacon and especially the hash browns.
I cannot believe how adorable this place is! Not to mention breakfast was only 10$ for eggs, toast, sausage and hash browns! Service was quick, food was good. Definitely worth a visit.
My wife & I had a layover in Medicine Hat and we were recommended a TOP Dinner … CHOCOLATE SHOP - Betty Boop themed… so brought you back to the good Ol’ days… we had two breakfast specials for $10.00 / person included the following : 2 eggs options of bacon or sausage of tomato slices with EPIC hash browns (shredded or home style potatoes grilled..) mmmmm , white or brown toast COFFEE also included! As well as we included their buttermilk pancake which was DELISH!!! Just a 5 min drive from the highway … the owner Tracy & her husband were so kind and informative . We both definitely recommend making this a MUST stop for anyone to stop enjoy, make sure to take pictures and indulge in some great home cooking eats! See you soon 🔜!!! Thank you off we go on our adventures.
This is hands down the best diner/restaurant I have ever been to. The owner is fantastic, is super speedy with her service, she ensures your drinks are always topped up and she does a healthy amount of check-ins throughout your dining experience. The FOOD is fantastic. If you haven't tried their beef dip... you are missing out. I can no longer have anything else on the menu as I am just so obsessed with it. Highly would recommend eating here and if you are new to town of have family/friends coming to this city - bring them here for a delicious meal and fair-sized portion of food!
Cute diner experience sprinkled with Betty Boop decor. I had the everything breakfast skillet and it did not disappoint. Loaded with homemade hash browns two different types of sausage, ham, back bacon, bacon, mushrooms, onions, peppers, green onions, and cheese on top of cheese. An open omelet on top loaded with hollandaise. Portions are huge, I'll have enough for lunch and probably dinner too.
We went here for a staff lunch. The milkshakes are fantastic and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Prices are very reasonable. The place is small so during the busy mealtimes it can get crowded so get there early for your pick of table.
Have been here many times. Food is great, service is fabulous. Recommend coming here anytime Tracy is a fantastic owner.
The best homemade food in Medicine Hat!
Love this place, if youre looking for a cozy, friendly, relaxed environment. With that home cooked meal, this is your place. Has to be my absolute favorite place to go and eat
I never knew that perfection tasted soooo good! Aside from the obviously homemade taste and appearance, the atmosphere is warm and hygge! (Hoo-ga: warm and welcoming) Food
Amazing food and atmosphere. The server is very efficient and kind. Cant beat a locally owned gem
Best breakfast in town.
This place is incredible; its the families first choice for breakfast or brunch. Fast service and delicious food, but be prepared, sometimes there are lines. Highly recommend.
We go Fridays for breakfast the early bird special is a great deal. Good fluffy pancakes, eggs cooked to order and the fried potatoes are always a little crispy. Also the pancakes are so fluffy!
Great experience. I came in when it was slammed, and the server still was attentive and kind despite having what I m sure was a stressful lunch rush. The food was delicious! I also cannot recommend the creamsicle milkshake enough! Superb!
Super cute old style diner atmosphere. I got tracys burger and it was absolutely the best burger Ive ever had.
The Tracy Burger is the best burger I ve ever had. The sweet potato fries and chipotle dip were great as well. Nothing but great quality food from this place.
The food is exceptional - home made!!
Great food and wonderful service!!!
They have large portions, also have gluten free toast..
Went for brunch on a Friday. Had the omelette dressed like a Denver. The shredded was amazing. Crispy on the outside and cooked on the in. My pops had the regular breakfast. Everything was great, hot and cooked right. The sour dough was excellent. And our waitress was non stop. The place is busy it seems from the time we arrived till we left. Thats when burgers and fries were leaving in boxes for lunches at work. Stop in during the week. And relax on the hill.
I had a late lunch at the Chocolate Shop today. It was busy but took a reasonable amount of time for the server to come and for the order to arrive at my table. The server was attentive, the food was great and the prices were comparable to anywhere else. I recommend this business to anyone wanting to go somewhere different. The Betty Boop statues are fun as well!
Took my girlfriend for breakfast and was very happy hard working people here , would definitely eat here again , thanks Tracy and cooks!
Excellent food, worth the wait. Reminds me of my grandma s cooking!
great little place,reasonable prices,old school character,they could use a extra waitress for the morning,more so on weekends,got to wait a bit for a coffee or to place your order
Service was absolutely phenomenal, such a great place to eat. The food is always so delicious and the portions humongous definitely get what you pay for here and then some. The beef dip may be the best beef dip I ve ever had
The food is always hot and delicious! Service is great, and fast. We love going here as a family! My kids love it and their coffee is delicious :)
Food is lovely. Great gravy and good atmosphere. Service is lacking, felt like we were an inconvenience to the server. Had to ask for items numerous times because she didn t come back. Forgot items for our food and had to get up to get service, twice. Came in at 2pm on a Friday. Seemed like a situation of the main server not wanting to delegate to the second server who sat in the corner rolling cutlery while the restaurant was in full swing.
I love coming here it s like family here. The owner is awesome to talk to she knows what we want without the menu. She goes a mile a minute with a smile. The food is awesome. I do wish I could have supper here though with my family. We can only have breakfast or lunch but no supper. If the restaurant can be open for supper I would be here almost every day night haha. Split shift the restaurant and still close at a decent time to have a life. I know split shift is at times hard to have a life but I m sure you can make the money. Or just be open for supper on Mondays and Tuesdays but not the mornings
Great little hidden gem!
Best place to eat breakfast or dinner. Great food and the prices are reasonable. Also the place is very clean and well maintained. Has that 50 s dinner feel. Love the place. Food
Its ok. The flapper pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. Service was fast and the breakfasts looked very good value at $9.99 The Bortcht looked very good.
Best breakfast ever! Hamburger Steak and Eggs. Loaded with gravy and fried onions. Home cut shredded hash browns cooked to perfection! Food
Fantastic diner experience. The Chocolate Shop is the antithesis of the corporate chain store restaurants. Simple food done well. Great service from people who are committed to helping. On the down side on street parking can be a bit difficult to find but thats not the diners responsibility.
A lovely place with great food, fun dinner atmosphere with great music to accompany your meal.
Delicious food, kind staff, fast chef!
First time going an it was amazing ! Even with how busy it was all the food came out warm an perfectly cooked, coffee was always full. I definitely recommend!! The sour dough bread is fantastic!!
Food is spectacular Love the breakfast special, super affordable For lunch the Ham and Cheese grilled Sandwich and crinkle cut fies its so yummy Food
This place is great, I ve been here a few times. The lady serving with the tattoos is always great and the food is always very good. The prices are very fair as well. Real pancakes too compared to most places. Highly recommend.
This is a wonderful locally owned business with a nice vibe. It is very clean and comfortable. Staff are very friendly. The food is delicious and you get good portion sizes. This is a hidden gem in the city and well worth a visit if you haven t been. Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options. Parking: On street parking. I ve never had an issue getting a spot nearby. Kid-friendliness: Kid options on the menu and also offer child size portions.
30 minute wait then 30 minutes sitting at table across from register with no menu or drinks. My Wife attempted to get menu no luck standing at till. People seated after us were eating and leaving. Empty tables so not sure why we were forgotten just a sorry as we walked out. So much for supporting a small restaurant. Headed to Macdonalds afterwards as we needed food after this waste of our time . Thats a negative one star for no service, food we cant review as we werent served.
We had the Monte Cristo and Clubhouse sandwiches, and they were fabulous.The portion size was generous, and the prices were great. I never got our waitress name, but she was so friendly. We will be back again.
Best breakfast in Medicine Hat, hands down. You can t beat the prices or the quantity. Food was very yummy.
Great meals never once been disappointed by a visit there Tracy puts her all into her customers and her service. Definitely strongly recommend
Me and the wife enjoyed it wish it was open Monday and Tuesday
The cinnamon bud was excellent that had been finished to give it a nice crust on the edges. The cream cheese was smooth, with a tartness to it. The place was hopping. Busy, busy. Good food draws the people. Be back again and again. Yum Food
Man I just came here for the first time, it is definitely a place I would love to come back to, it s nice and cozy and the waitress that helped me and my girlfriend out went above and beyond, I d highly recommend this little coffee shop
Hardest working girl in town,excellent food and service even when busy!
Deelish brekky sandwich
Its everything you want in an old time dinner. The coffee, Tracey, Kelly and all the staff, makes this my favorite restaurant
Awesome place to eat... very tasty and delicious food. The staff is awesome.. I would recommend anyone to try the place out..
Had giant order of delicious fries and gravy. Service was great.
Wow. Great atmosphere. Very much like a 60s diner. The food and service were phenomenal. Highly recommend
Horrible service and food
Great food, good service and prices. Strongly recommend.
Foods always good (all day breakfast!), place is always busy,
Great breakfast hard to believe hung out there 55years ago lol
Reuben on rye with homemade bean and bacon soup is my favourite one. The combination of the sandwich was a explosion of taste. From crunchiness of the bread to mouthful of-pastrami and sauerkraut. Stamped with home made of love.
Love to support local. This restaurant is a gem!
Classic old school eats. Cant beat it.
We frequent this little restaurant almost on a weekly basis! The best burgers and breakfast in town. Tracy is the absolute best and is always the familiar face the greet, seat and serve. Love this place!
Best burger in town no question. Everything is fresh made to order. Waitress is very pleasant and welcoming. Excellent food. Very enjoyable. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with large portions. Excellent place for families.
I love the Chocolate Shop. It is my favorite place for breakfast or lunch. The food is always good and plentiful. The service is great even though there is only one server. She never forgets an order and is always ready to refill your drink. It is a very busy place, especially on the weekend, and you may have to wait a bit for a table. But it is worth the wait.
This hidden gem is full of character. locally owned and operated, this fifties style dinner offers a large menu of awesome food at awesome prices and has nothing to do with chocolate as the name implies. The full on breakfast lunch and dinner menu also offers some of the best soups Ive ever had. Definitely worth a try.
Great all around place to eat. Very busy but service is quick and friendly.
Excellent vintage diner. Excellent food with big portions and a fair price. Customer service is fantastic.
We met friends for breakfast. Got there before 10 to get the great breakfast special. It was amazing!! Really good food and great value for the money. Love this little place!!
The quintessential local diner. Delicious food, wonderful portions, and a solid vibe.
Very good, nice place.
Great food at a great price
Staffs friendly . Food is always hot and fresh. Amazing butterhorns.
Delicious breakfast!! Can t wait to go back.
Always great food, good portions and exceptional service! Never go away without a smile and a full tummy
Homemade food...very tasty...recommend this place...staff very friendly..prices are reasonable.
Good Food, friendly service. If you like an egg salad sandwich, you cant get a better one anywhere imho
Very good, clean, awesome service.
It s always a bop!
The first time there. The service was great & the food is awesome. I will be sure to spread the word.
Had breakfast there reasonably early on a Saturday morning, but it was already bustling. Food was good, and plenty of it. They had gluten-free pancake options that were filling, and free refills on the coffee. The pleasant but clearly busy server said she outs in about 30,000 steps on a given day, and I believe it. Tables, cutlery, plates bowls and cups were all spotless. Prices were okay for what you get. Didnt check out the bathrooms but companion did and said they were clean. Only reason theyre not getting 5 stars is that the hollandaise sauce was noticeably bland, and I had hoped for more flavor for $16. That said all other elements of my meal were good.
Awesome Mozza Burger!!
the waitress there is amazing, food is great
Food and service were top shelf. I would give them 10 stars if that was a choice.
Fantastic! We went for breakfast and everything was delicious! Definitely recommend!
The food is delicious.
I ll come here every weekend staff is really great food is awesome can t find a better place and Medicine Hat love you guys
Not a bad breakfast. Had a ham and cheese omelette with hashbrowns. Frankly, there was some undercooked egg white inside the omelette and the ham seemed fairly greasy. But still a better than average omelette. Service was excellent.
Fast friendly service. Great value for your dollar ... Wonderful specials
This is a cute diner that my local friend introduced me too. Great food and great price point. I would have posted a picture but the food was gone too fast.
When were in Medicine Hat we come here over and over for breakfast. Great food, good prices. The only really good non-chain diner type restaurant weve been able to find here. My only recommendation for improvement would be the coffee cups are small and theyre slow to bring around refills, so we dont order coffee here.
Honestly hands down best tasting food in Medicine Hat, and , remember the scene in Jaws wven he saw the size of the shark and said were gonna need a bigger boat . Well.. wait til you see how full youre plate is.:) thanks Tracey and Kelly live this place !
Great food . Place is busy, clean,and a great staff.
Great portions and delicous food highly recommend
You just can t beat this place! Home cooking in an old school environment that takes you back to the good old days. The best place in MH hands down.
Awesome food Friendly staff Very reasonable portions of food for the price. Great little place
Food staff and establishment was amazing. Just wish they had normal hours of operation .
Always excellent
Their steak is great!
I have gone here for many years. Its always been clean, good attentive service & good food at a reasonable price.
My friend and I ordered Tracy and Kellys fish and chips for the first time today. This was the best hand made fish and chips that I have ever had. Tracy and Kelly cooked it to perfection. The batter was perfect. It had a salad, fries, and two pieces of fish for $17!!! You must try this dish. This was my best meal since they served me their Brutus Burger. Truly a fine restaurant. I recommend this restaurant and I assure you that your dining will be as fine as ours. Thanks Tracy and Kelly. You guys made my day!
Do not eat here. This is not Lela s anymore and it shows
You gotta hit this place up if you are coming through Medicine Hat. Tracy is a true OG, food is great, service is prompt, music is 10/10.
Great Place
Hands down the best restaurant in town The food is always amazing and the service is impeccable
Best breakfast in town. Service is always fast and friendly. Sundays are super busy but definitely worth the wait.
One of my top go to places. Food is amazing. My fave is the eggs benedict. Staff are always lovely.
A restaurant meal that is just like a home cooked one. Reasonable prices and generous portions.
best eggs benedict on planet earth
First time visitor and it was great! Had the Monte Cristo with fries and gravy. The fries were cooked perfectly and the gravy was delicious. The sandwich was really good, had lots of melty cheese. The service was fast and friendly. Will definitely recommend this little diner to anyone.
Lovely small business tucked away on the hill. Would highly recommend stopping in for lunch!
Very good lunch...quick service too
Always great food and service
I went with friends enjoying meal it was great
The Chocolate Shop is not really a chocolate shop at all but its origins began as that and thus its identification sticks with the locals. Its a quaint 50s style diner with the basics type menu but everything on it is delicious with the goodness of home cooked taste. Service is good and your meal comes piping hot. If youre looking for bland, franchise ambiance, this wont be for you, otherwise its a great affordable little place to meet and eat. Enjoy!
I order a whole flapper pie to take home
I am going to start a petition for the opening of the chocolate shop on Mondays!! Its my only day off!...havent had a decent benny in months!!....
Great food , great staff, great price, what more do you need.
Absolutely love this place, the food the people, excellent. Hopefully people on the highway stop and check this place out for breakfast. A+++
Excellent food and great service.
I love this little restaurant. We have been going there for many years.
Nice place to have a meal or drink. But beware, the staff does not like random acts of kindness
Great early bird special
Love this place! Quick service

Good food ,very fast and awesome service
Great service , never ate but the place was packed so going by the numbers it must serve food food as well
This is the best breakfast I have ever had, with a spunky waitress named Tracy who knows our orders off by heart. If breakfast isnt your thing the try out their lunch option the gravy is simply amazing!
Always delicious!
Great breakfast deals, nice diner type atmosphere and excellent service keeps me coming back.
Had the hamburger steak and eggs, homemade, fantastic 5 by 5
Theyre breakfast is the best in the world i would give you my left hand for there breakfast and dinner and supper well to put it bluntly there food is the best in town and I should know Ive been a chef for over 30 years.
