We know it is normally super busy and tough to get a table without a wait on the weekends, so we took the opportunity to go this snowy day, since we were out anyways, and lucked out and got a table right away. The food was piping hot, fresh and delicious The service was outstanding, our server was super friendly and attentive. The owners were there and chatted with us which was also extra nice. Make sure to save room for pie! All in all, don’t go out in a snowstorm if you don’t have to, but a meal at Hathaways is totally worth it ☺️

Wow. So good! The wait for 2 usually isn’t too long. But they are busy and the tables aren’t huge/not lots of room between the table next to you, you’ll be friendly with your neighbour. Food was really good, service was nice. Our first time here the waitress gave us a free slice of pie. She recognized us on our second visit and gave us another one as a thanks for coming back. We can’t wait for our third visit to try something new. (Pictured: stuffed French toast, was peach that day + chicken and waffles)

Hathaway's Diner is a local gem that offers a classic diner experience. It was my first time at this new location and it was as great as always! The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food make it a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. The menu features all your favorite diner classics, from pancakes and omelets to burgers and sandwiches. The portions are generous, and the food is consistently good. The homemade pies are a particular highlight, with flaky crusts and rich, flavorful fillings. Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast or a simple lunch, Hathaway's Diner is a reliable choice.

I had the steak & eggs which I highly recommend. The steak was cooked properly and great portions. Not pictured here, but the pies are a MUST try! We had to wait a little but it is worth the wait! Will definitely be coming back.

Went here on a whim last Friday for breakfast to try out the new location and it was excellent! My Eggs Benedict came out steaming hot, and I tried the Dunkaroos pie and it was worth the visit alone. This place has only been open a month and was bustling, so that's good to see. I love how they took what this commercial space was (dark and dank-looking) and transformed it into a bright, welcoming space. Don't hesitate-- just go!

Solid breakfast food. I would really recommend their breakfast poutine! Of the two dishes we got, that was by far the winner. Staff were really friendly . Corned beef skillet was good but a bit bland. Overall still really liked the food and service and will be back again.

Found out that this new location was open on a holiday Monday and we went to check it out. It’s the weekend of their soft opening, so there’s going to be issues like any new restaurant. We arrived around 11:50 and waited just a few minutes to get seated. Our drink order was taken pretty quickly and we ordered our meals at 12:03. (We kind of timed everything just to see how long it took. Normally we wouldn’t do this). I had the traditional eggs Benny and my spouse had the grilled cheese with fries. It took about 20 mins to get our food which seems long normally, but it wasn’t bad. The eggs Benny were amazing! Honestly one of the best I’ve had. My spouses grilled cheese was decent. I think we both expected a little fluffier or something but it was very similar to one made at home. For our food, overall it was amazing and we’ll 100% be back. Most likely it’ll end up being our go to spot in St.Albert from now on. The few things I could critique on (which is minor considering they just opened): - the napkins are garbage. They’re the cheap single ply type of napkin. I get why they’re using them but if you’re going to have a burger or something else messy, you’re going to go through a ton of them. - the customer service is really good, but it seemed like there was overlap in responsibilities. As in the tables didn’t have a designated server tending to you and our food came out at different times. I’m sure this is just because of the soft opening and they didn’t expect to be this busy. Things will settle down and be like their other location for service. That’s why I gave 3 stars. They were all very friendly, but it was kind of like “too many cooks in the kitchen” type thing. We’ll definitely be back though. It’s a fabulous little place! Welcome to St.Albert!

Tried for first time. If we would have known it was only their second day we would have let them work out some growing pains. Nice clean place, great location, staff trying, nice menu. Unfortunately smaller groups get bumped for larger ones, orders messed up, tables served before yours that came in after, plates same table come way earlier than others, lots of people upset and leaving after waiting for awhile. So just be prepared to be patient and food may not be what you are used to at other location till they get bugs worked out. I think I will wait till I give them another go if they look busy.

We went for Breakfast on a Thursday and were greeted and looked after immediately. We were personally greeted by Mich the owner and we had a nice chat. The food was extraordinary. Portions size & Quality was excellent. They topped up our Coffee several times. The Benny was fantastic and hit the spot. Try the pineapple pistachios cake. You will absolutely love it. If you are looking for a down to earth family oriented place in St. Albert, Hathaways is the place to go. Thanks to Mich & is Crew for a round up good experience!

Always enjoy the food here and the other location but this location is absolutely too cramped. The tables are smooshed so close together, especially the one by the door. Every time you get up you bump the other table (ours was bumped a few times) and it s just so awkward to hear everyone s conversation so clearly. I m shocked they wouldn t remove a table to give more space. Two person Tables themselves (along the wall) are so tiny so you re constantly asking for items since they don t come on the table or in bottles. Will not go back for this reason. It s only worth it if you re in the middle booths. Servers were sweet, but one forgot about us when we asked to know about the pies they had and left for the day without returning to the table so we had to go look for ourselves.

Food and service were good, no complaints. The room is so small and crowded. It would be great if the seating was comfortable but it is not. The tiny metal chairs, likely to squish in more tables, were so uncomfortable I couldnt wait to leave. I am an average sized person. If you are lucky enough to get a bench seat it is worth going to this restaurant but the way its set up, half your party would get the bench and 1/2 get the metal chair. There are 3 bench to bench seats in the middle of the restaurant but that wouldnt be my choice either.

Had some pie that was billed as creamy apple, but it was basically just whipped topping-quite gross & calories ++++. Didnt care for the coffee & they had no brown sugar. Wont be back. Parking: Not enough handicap parking.

The original Hathaways diner is so cute. What Ive always thought a small dinner should be. This new Hathaways is of course brand new and bright but doesnt have the quaint decor. The food is the same, very good and quick. The service was amazing, way above average. Great choice for breakfast.

We had the Chicken & waffles/tenderloin eggs benny and they were mediocre at best. However, the pie was good and there are lots of options to pick from. The place was quite crowded/loud and the server couldnt keep up with all the tables, unfortunately.

Came here because my partner recommended. Food was really good with some larger portions with decent prices considering how inflation has affected things. The waitresses were friendly and the diner vibe was immaculate. The hashbrowns I wasn t a super fan of as I simply prefer crispy potatoes. The only other minor complaint I had was that I never got offered a refill for coffee even though I saw other patrons get offered coffee refills right next to us. Overall I would return again as the food was still amazing and I would definitely try other options.

It was such a lovely morning coming to this new location for breakfast. The staff were all so kind and checked on me frequently to make sure I was okay. The food was also super delicious, coffee was nice and hot, and the pie of course was amazing!! A gentleman who I sensed was the manager was very kind and checked in on everyone at the restaurant and it was easy to tell he genuinely wanted everyone to feel at home. I can t wait to come back here again :)

Nice location but pretty cramped inside with table arrangements that my toddler was bumped into twice by the servers which is bad especially if they are carrying diningware. Service was bad as well, having to repeat what we asked for as well as getting our order wrong by the waitress, etc.. food was a ok but with their pancake, it was like eating foccacia bread.

The place is really crammed. Food was good but came out cold. Service not great and they could use another server as well. I ll give them another try though.

October 23, 2024

If you re looking for a restaurant to enjoy and relax in- this is not it. This location is very loud, and very squished. The setup is to maximize people, not for comfort and not for ambiance and with that said- not for private conversation between you and your company. A diner setting it is for sure because it feels like you re in a Tin Can. Tables tooooooo close together, including tables in corners where other guests had to move so the new arriving guests could squeeze in! Terrible! The food was meh, and the coffee even worse. I had the Sunrise Skillet. The potatoes had no flavour and were under-seasoned, the toast was barely buttered and cold, and the Hollandaise (ordered on the side) was tasteless. Even adding salt and pepper didn t bring this meal up to par. Unfortunately I won t be back, and would not recommend. Hathaway s in Edmonton was not much better. I had higher hopes for the St Albert location, but was disappointed.

★★
October 23, 2024

We popped in to get a pie on the weekend, we didnt stay. It is so cramped and everyone is sat on top of each other. The pie was $35, which is ridiculously expensive in my opinion. It was lemon blueberry. You could not taste any lemon It was literally Graham cracker crust with a light no bake whipped cream / cream cheese filling and blueberry sauce on top. It was good, but very disappointing for what is was supposed to be and the price.

Overall it was a good experience considering they just opened. The food itself was very good. I had the hathaway muffins the holidays sauce was delicious. The staff were very friendly but Im guessing overwhelmed because they just opened. We had a few different waitresses help us so we had a bit of miscommunication. We wanted to go containers for our pie but didnt receive them , no ice water it was warm. We waited a very long time for ketchup and for our bill. However we definitely will be back because the food is great.

★★★★
September 23, 2024

Great food! Ingredients tasted fresh and flavourful! And prices are reasonable. The chairs were very uncomfortable but booth seats are fine. Needs a little more character added to walls like the original location. Service is very relaxed but seemed short staffed. Since the diner just opened will need to work that out with time. Would recommend for breakfast or lunch.

Food was good, however the staffing situation is deplorable. Only 2 servers for the entire restaurant. I feel bad for them and they are so busy. Not sure why the manager thought this was a good idea. He came around and said hello, but his overall demeanour seemed condescending and fake. Servers still do a fantastic job for what they can work with. Might return in a few months once they figure out their staffing.

I was just passing through visiting friends and had this diner recommended to me by locals! I was blown away by the amazing customer service and friendly staff?! (Especially Jacqueline!).

Really great experience. Food portions where really good for price. Had the chicken and waffles, the chicken was crispy and so moist it was amazing. The hasbrowns do come out a bit raw for our liking. Service was amazing! Between management and servers we where never left wanting. Atmosphere was a 4 just because if youre not in a booth the metal chairs are quite cold and a bit uncomfortable. Will definitely be back! Make sure you go early since by 9/930 there will be a wait because they are just that good!!
