Food is great, never had a problem. The employees on the other hand .. RUDE. Everytime I come in never a welcoming hi, always getting rushed in / out. The last time I came in, the host went around the corner and pointed at my group obviously talking about us. Not sure how the manager allows this behaviour for the company
We had Grilled Beef Livers and Club House Sandwich. The price is decent considering the size. The food is okay. Chocolate milkshake is pretty good.
What can we say. One of our favourite Sunday stops when in RD. Never disappoints from the staff to the food. Sometimes it's a 10 to 15 minute wait. But good things are well worth waiting for and if people are willing to wait that speaks for itself.
The gluten free waffles are crazy good. When I took the first bite I had to do a double take. Most gluten free foods have a slight taste to them but this had none of that. Strawberries were perfectly candied. Great food, great service.
Breakfast of warm apple & cinnamon crepes was excellent and made me cry. Here's why. I wanted to treat myself to breakfast because that's my favorite meal. When I saw crepes on the menu, I was sold. My waitress was sweet and efficient. When she brought the water, she took my order; no waiting. My crepes and two over-medium eggs were perfectly cooked. When it was time to leave, I told the waitress how yummy my meal was and how my mom used to make crepes for us. Then without bidding, I burst into tears. Mom passed away in 2021 and this breakfast brought back all the wonderful memories of her pfannenkuchen und Apfelmus (low German for flat pancakes with applesauce). The service, food, cleanliness, and atmosphere were all great! My waitress even put a senior discount on my bill and I didn't have to ask. Highly recommend.
Love coming here for brunch. Love the coffee and carafe they leave at the table. All the staff are friendly and fast, Candy is the kindest server
Really great brunch option..Very clean and Very good service always took care of you. Been going her for years never had a bad experience. Staff is very friendly. Would recommend. Will be coming back to this place very soon. Coffee is always fresh.
Really great breakfast option. Very clean, eggs Benny to die for and pancakes are great. Very good service always took care of you. Been going her for years never had a bad experience. Staff is very friendly. Would recommend. Will be coming back to this place very soon. Coffee is always fresh.
One of my go to places for breakfast! The food is ALWAYS delicious and service is always so friendly.
My go-to restaurant for gluten-free breakfast!
Best food at a great price
Great food and service! A must for breakfast or brunch in Red Deer!
The portions keep getting smaller. I used to get a whole take out box full of a side salad last week in a tiny container. The beef dip got smaller as well. Not worth the price at all
Great as always ,server was fantastic
Nice quiet big quantities friendly service nothing of issue great breakfast
I was excited to try this place after hearing about it from a couple of friends but the taste of the food was honestly mediocre.
We go every Sunday
Great food, definitely has a home cooked meal feel. Love that they leave a coffee pot for the table. Usually quite busy, but fast friendly service.
Food here is always great, the staff is very friendly. The French toast is some of the best French toast Ive had.
Great place to go for breakfast. Staff are friendly. Flowers out front are colourful. Good value for what you receive.
I have been going here for thirty yrs. In the past, it was known as the best breakfast place in Red Deer. It is still good but not as consistent with the food. Its a busy place, so food is not always hot. Service is awesome!
Lovely family owned place, excellent service, yummy breakfast and very affordable. We were very impressed.
Great food !!!
I got fries, chocolate icecream, and some chocolate milk with some water, the fries tasted very good, definitely top 5 in best fries, the chocolate icecream tasted a tad bit weird but I was able to eat it, wonderful place!
We dont often eat out, but if were going out for breakfast, its ALWAYS Phils.
Service excellent. Food amazing eggs Benedict and pancakes awesome. Restaurant needs to be upgraded with torn seats and dated furniture. Just a suggestion.Will definitely be back.
if i could give 0 stars i would however it wont let me ! first time customer will not return ! food was cold as if it was sitting around before it was delevered to my table . coffee cold . bad service as the waitress had only excuses . was missing item that was ordered the fist time .. then ended up leaving after an extra item never showed up 46 mins after we sat down .very poor quility food sausages taste like they were cooked hours ago and warmed in the microwave . went to DENNYS ! all around horrorable experience garbage ! at phills seeing the responses from the owner manager nothing but exuses oh well dont care same from years ago on the reviews .not a proper way to run a buisness , and the restuarant dirty ! i did phone and talked the G M jeremy ihe told me he will fix the problem . im glad he did that good for him the rite thing to do
Fish Tacos are horrible! Soggy dry shell...loaded with thick chunky red cabbage and not crispy fish batter...worst I ever had!!!
Excellent meal today, fresh, delicious and speedy service.
We were seated right away, served right away, long time waitress, food came out super fast and was awesome as always from this place..
food is always yummy, dont order the iced coffee it tastes like milk. do order the pancakes and pork chubbies. felt a bit rushed by the service but it was the last hour of being open. will go back
Great breakfast spot. Has the basic breakfast you want to find with the right price attached. Got the hashbrowns extra crispy. Yum yum
Great breakfast place.Have been going here for years.Never been disappointed yet.Prices great!Atmosphere always friendly. Parking: We ve never had a problem finding parking even on the weekend. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and high chairs or booster seats.Crayons and coloring sheets for the littles.
This was one of those places I went to craving a great diner type breakfast. Under the recommendation of a bunch of people plus the online recommendations I decided to go. But to my dismay it was no good. Food was bland. Will not return.. still on the hunt for the best diner in Red deer or Alberta for that matter.
Breakfast. Sirup jar broke due to old patent og poor maintinace. Sirup all over table. We tried now back to Dennys,ABC or anywhere
This is my favorite breakfast spot! The restaurant itself is warm and homey. The service is fast and quick, but they never skip the smiles and friendliness! The food is always hot and delicious! Definitely a returning customer!
Phils is one of my favorite places to eat when in the area is filled with good memories and delightful experiences with friends and family. Ive always found the staff to be polite and deligent. And the food to be amazing. All in all, sure to not disappoint so next time youre in the area you must try phils resteraunt. Ps save room for desert the ice cream is to die for.
Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk is full cracks that could make it challenging for a wheelchair, door isnt automatic but staff do jump to help you with doors. Only 3 handicap parking stalls, so had to go through parking lot with normal stall. Food
Breakfast for two consisted of a short stack of pancakes and an order of potato pancakes. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was very good. Will definitely be coming back.
We love Cathys service. She has a quick wit along with excellent listening skills. Food happens to be great too. Food : 4/5
I just think they made me feel uncomfortable.
Great as usual .
Phils. Always consistent, always dependable, always delicious, often busy. Havent been there in years, but was so excited to go. Did not disappoint. It was just as I remembered.
Even on Fathers Day, a very very busy day for restraunts, we were seated fairly quickly and got our meals in a timely manner. However our waitress seemed overwhelmed and it took her 5 trips to get everyones drink orders taken. The food was okay, big enough portions but somewhat expensive. I will definitely come back on a different day when they are hopefully less busy and see if the service is better.
Great for gluten free breakfast. We have never been disappointed by the food or service. You may need to wait fir a table especially on a weekend. Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options
Decent portions for what youre paying. Wonderful experience every time
Been going for 32 years and love it still. You wont get service like this anywhere else. Menu is decent too
Great place to have breakfast, good was amazing, great service and great prices.
Salmon Egg Benedict is the go to breakfast for this place. Never disappoints in quality, quantity and service. Parking: due to limited parking space, sometimes it is not easy to get the spot if the house is full.
closes at 3? strange
Best place for breakfast! Wicked eggs benny is amazing
Very crowded and noisy Excellent staff Just had a coffee Food : 4/5
GOOD EVERYTHING.
We have a favorite server that knows our order, so we only have to say the usual.
A classic! Great filling food. Service is great and has some classic breakfast dishes you dont often see elsewhere. The Potato pancakes are amazing!
Old style restaurant with great food and service WOW.
Fast awesome food. Bacon & eggs
Always a good meal at Phils.
Amazing food. Amazing gluten free options. Quite over priced though. Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options! Best gluten free breakfast in Red Deer. Food : 5/5 |
Food was all right, and the decor was old and outdated, dark and dingy.
Great place .Great food and the service was amazing .Special shout out to Kandy she made this dining experience the best. We definitely will be back looking for her.
Cant beat cubbies
I enjoy Phils casual atmosphere and unpretentious menu. A great location and friendly staff round top it up. Dietary restrictions: The wait staff is helpful with choosing menu items for dietary concerns.
Great food lovely staff. Kid-friendliness: Coloring pages and candies. Tons of food options. Food : 5/5 |
We had a delicious brunch The chicken & waffles were filling, tasty, and served quickly. Loved the strawberry, blueberry and maple syrup options too.
Excellent menu and very reasonable prices, a very clean setting with great service Parking: Due to being a very popular choice the parking is limited
Very good food. Fantastic service!
Great food and great customer service!
I love Phils I order from here weekly at work. Lately the corner beef on bennys or sandwich has been so chewy and inedible the last 3-4 times I have ordered I just wanted to bring attention to this. I want to leave a 5 star review so bad but lately the food has been very subpar compared to the past.
Very impressed with everything. Good portions of food! Parking: Limited parking and was a real squeeze to get my truck into a spot. Food : 5/5 |
Very 90s family restaurant vibe. Server was polite, attentive and talkative. Menu had a wide range of all size appetites. Not only that but they had a wide range of foods and combinations. Had the salmon Benny, eggs were poached perfectly. Hollandaise was creamy with an excellent flavour, wasnt chalky or overly salty. Had different hash brown options and 3 syrups for the pancakes/waffles. Not only that but they have their own chubbies which are breakfast sausage patties that you are able to purchase for home as well. I was very pleased with the restaurant and would definitely go again. Parking: Parking was a little cramped around the building, but if you park in the plaza near there and walk over there wouldnt be an issue.
Always good food and service
Favorite restaurant in Red Deer! Parking: So busy you have to take a chance on your parking, but I would walk for miles to get there if I could! Food : 5/5 |
Excellent service with very friendly waitress.
Kid-friendliness: Kids treated well. Suckers at the till. Food
Every thing was great but the prices seem a bit high but i gusse that is what is happening now a days
Love this place. One of my most favorite breakfast joints. I especially love how they just leave a carafe of coffee. Great food. Great service. Whole family loves it. I definitely recommend
Great!
Warm and friendly service, but the food was hit-and-miss. While my dining companion liked her meal (sausage chubbies, egg and hash browns) I was disappointed with my eggs benedict. The eggs were perfectly cooked, but the hollandaise was almost anemic (off-white, translucent and very bland.) The biggest mystery to me was the hash browns - mine were under-cooked, while my companions were done perfectly. Dietary restrictions: Variety of gluten-free options.
Excellent service and delicious food as always
One of the best places for breakfast. Im a fan of their beef chubbies. Im always glad when I can time my trips into Red Deer for breakfast.
the waitress (the one that lost her legs and some fingers)...she was amazing very positive .... service was also amazing ..I will be back Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to pork..I like the options of beef or chicken and not get charged extra
Consistently the best breakfast in town. Love the potato pancakes.
Fabulous food and great portions. Service friendly and top notch. Kim was warm, welcoming, attentive and gave the kind of service that guaranteed we will be coming back!
Highly recommended!
First visit in a few years, and very pleased to find that this restaurant has remained the place to go for breakfast.
We stopped in here for breakfast before church on a Sunday morning... and it was packed... for a reason. Great food, atmosphere, and service!!!!
Great service
Favorite breakfast diner in red deer
Great Diner Food! Doesnt disappoint. Also love the gluten free options!
Old dinner with Ok food. Would rate the place two stars if not for the great service
It was great
Love this place. Good food, friendly faces fair price!! Rancheros breakfast!!!
Eggs Benedict was very good.
Always great food and service! Best breakfast in Red Deer
Great for the value. Amazing staff. Everyone helps out not just your server
Best benny
Wonderful staff. Wonderful service. Wonderful food. Yum. Yum .
We ate there two days in a row, I had poached eggs both times. Their poached eggs were a work of art. Extensive menu, so much to choose from. Staff we dealt with were all excellent. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly
Food is always good, service is always excellent.
It has been a while since I went out for a meal... The only hard part to swallow was the 25 dollar bill for a 2 egg breakfast and a coffee , plus tip for my awesome server. Food
Always delicious, fast and friendly! Kandy is amazing as usual too!
Supper was really good tonight. We took the grandchildren with us tonight. Theyre 3 and 7. Besides the crayons and activity sheet they now have a great mix of mini cars, trucks, airplanes, little creatures and other assorted mini toys, the kids love them. The both of them ate all of their supper and were well behaved. Our meals were noice and freshly made to order. We love going to Phils, the staff are always really pleasant with all of their customers and the food is always made to each individuals preference.
Phil s is the reason why mom and pops restaurants are so much better than a franchise. Really good food with decent portions.
Awesome service, good food, we will be back again !! Thank you Food
Our waitress was beyond amazing and the food was great. Prices were very reasonable. If we lived in Red Deer we would definitely be regulars at Phils.
small portions got a kid size meal on big plate. undercooked meat coustmer service was rude didnt care. Food
A good meal
Great breakfast, service. Would go back again
A well rounded menue and good service at this restaurant. Many seniors eat here.
DAKOTA is FANTASTIC....all the Servers...Friendly and Helpful....THANKS DAKOTA FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE...
This is the best breakfast place in town! I always get the Phils mix grill. Their eggs Benedict is great as well. Great food, and service!
Food was fantastic, staff was magnificent and just the general atmosphere was comforting and warm.
Always a good meal and service is great
Amazing breakfast menu. Incredibly fast and friendly service. The dollar pancakes for the kids are great, especially because they are free for kids under 8! Will definitely be coming back, a must try for families.
Great Dinner, very busy, service was quick and friendly, loved the atmosphere, food was yummy. Great experience Food
Great food, friendly staff and a very family friendly environment. Totally recommend it.
Solid 5. My first time. Family been before. Server couldn t have been any more helpful. Just a nice nice lady. Food was pretty good too. My soup was a bit over flavoured for my taste bust hit and fresh. Beef dip was very good. Nothing bad to say. Family friendly. Parking was good. Will be back
Delicious breakfast and friendly staff.
Phils was great! It completely surpassed our expectations. The gluten free menu was perfect for my wife, the service was prompt, and our kids are pancakes for free. I wish we had one of these in North Edmonton. Dietary restrictions: Wonderful Gluten-free options
Brought granddaughter here for late lunch. Quite a few patrons at 2pm Which surprised me. We were seated right away and Alyssa was amazing and I appreciated her being our server.helped with ordering for GDaughter, Made sure we both had everything we needed, followed up ect. Thank you! Granddaughter needed trip to washroom. But when leaving that room I left my cellphone behind without realizing and returned to our seats to eat. Not soon after, Keanna appeared at table asking if I had forgotten my (new) cellphone in washroom. Oh!!! Thank you so much Keanna for finding and returning it to me. We all know what a headache a lost phone can cause. Thank you... thank you so much!! Food, service speed were all great.Will be back again. Parking: If busy, there is a large lot grocerystore parking lot right beside restraunt. Kid-friendliness: Havent been here with a little one for many years so Alyssa helped out with ordering for Gdaughter.(btw she loved the fruit cup the best. Lots of variety fruits she loves..)
Red Deers best kept secret ... Shhhh ... Dont tell!
Always a good spot
3 months after placing a delivery order, I am still fighting to get a refund for food I never received. I placed a food order for a work meeting for myself and my coworkers through Uber Eats. After 40 minutes, our food arrives. Well an order of pancakes arrived. Call the restaurant to let them know that I was missing most of my order. The manager on duty tells me that the server who handed out the order the order forgot the other bag and that I could come pick it up if I wanted to. I couldnt do that because I was about to walk into a meeting. So because I wasnt willing to go pick it up myself, I was told I would have to contact Uber and ask for a refund. Well 3 months later and 5 support tickets in, I have still not received a refund. So I have paid $72 for an order of pancakes. While they were nice and fluffy, they were not worth $72 and the time I have wasted trying to get this resolved. The lack of care from both Phils and Uber Eats has left a lot to be desired. The bag was not marked, the manager didnt seem to care to fix the situation and as the consumer, I am left paying for something I never received. This could have all been resolved if the restaurant would have taken accountability for their mistake (that they admitted to) and arranged to have my delivery sent out. If you are not willing to label your orders and make sure the customer receives what they have paid for, why participate in delivery programs. The driver did his part and picked up what he was handed. It is Phils that made the error and left the customer without their order.
Love coming to this place for breakfast
Good place and basic service. Food is good. Recommend Chicken Ranchero.
Toasted denvers are great
Canonical breakfast place in Red Deer Alberta.
Not so small place to have a nice breakfast. The place is clean and very polite staff. We went twice for breakfast and it was tasty and well served both times. The chocolate and day soup are delicious at a good price. My kids like it very much. Totally recomended. Thank you.
2023-08 I accidentally discovered this restaurant for breakfast. There were a lot of people and we waited at the door for a short while. The food tastes good. The portion of milk smoothie is huge.
Went in on Saturday, September 2 we waited for a bit which is the norm BUT Whike waiting we were first on the list and all you seen were people getting table after table like hello these people came in after us. Thanks for making my favorite breakfast place not my list.
Always good every time we go
Food was great ---- never saw my server --- no refills She vanished !! Food : 3/5
This is definitely a great place to go if your in the mood for a wide selection of all day breakfast options. I had the classic eggs Benedict and it was great.
Dietary restrictions: Great gluten-free options Food
This is my kind of breakfast/brunch spot. Good food, big portions, friendly staff and a comfortable down to earth environment. We ordered the corned beef hash and a peameal bacon side with toast. Perfectly cooked.
Seriously it s a cool diner type experience. Beef Chubbies!!!! Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free Crepes!!!! Fantastic addition!
Ate there as a kid. Now years later its awesome
As per usual Phils breakfast is the best. Mic drop here..... Food : 5/5
This is my first real bad review. We are home sick so we ordered food and had someone else pick it up and bring it to us. They not only messed up the order, it was cold and the packaging was squished and soggy. They didn t cook the eggs as asked, they didn t listen to the order instructions and messed up the order. Just overall very disappointed. And with the mess up not everyone got what they asked for. I wouldn t order again.
The perfect breakfast to lunch spot.
Rip off prices
Adorable little restaurant, food was fantastic and came out extremely fast. Atmosphere was nice, and the people were friendly.
Its so nice to sit down in a relaxed family style atmosphere. Friendly service, great breakfast.
Not a fan of the sausage chubbies. They taste greasy and of cheap quality. Eggs were okay. Bacon was good. Atmosphere isnt bad but doesnt stand out. Service was standard.
I just love this lil diner! I come here plenty with my best friend or with my mom and we always enjoy the busy warm atmosphere and yummy food and the classic diner coffee love all the waiters and waitresses here too theyre so friendly!
We went for the first time Sunday morning. I had the eggs benedict and it was tasty and the eggs were done correctly. The crepes with fruit were good as well. We liked that they brought a carafe of coffee so we could drink at our own pace. Sunday morning is free pancakes for little kids so it was quite loud. Overall quite good but a total cost of $50 is on the high side. Expect to wait a few minutes for seating. Kid-friendliness: Good place to take kids, special pricing on Sunday.
This is our go to breakfast spot in Red Deer! Always a pleasant experience and kids get free silver dollar pancakes! I only wish they would ditch the extra charge on the whip cream & sprinkles. Highly recommended the Hangover Poutine!
Good service and food ..great place to go for bfast ...
Food was great, our server was super cheerful and friendly. A great visit! Thank you Andrea!
Too bad there isn t less than one star. I went in to get a take out order. Ordered one waffle and a side of bacon. Got charged for one waffle with bacon and a side of bacon. On the way home it smelled weird but didn t think too much. One bite out of the bacon I knew it was bad. Called the restaurant to be told by the manager that they were sent suspicious bacon but used it anyway. Within minutes I was horribly sick to my stomach. Had to take gravel and charcoal to keep from vomiting. Hours later I am still horribly sick to my stomach. Took the order back and got a refund and was told they threw out the bacon. How can anyone cook bacon that was so obviously spoiled and serve it? The manager said they didn t know how to read the expiration date wow, never again. Food safety will be hearing about this I threw out the piece I took a bit from and the birds wouldn t eat it, says a lot about Phil s food.
Probably the BEST place to go in town! Been going there for YEARS!! Absolutely amazing place
So very yummy.
This is great place to eat. Always come here when we come to Red Deer, services is great. Food is delicious and the prices are in line with other restaurants
Phils hasnt changed in years. Good food and people
Best Breakky around!
