Red's Diner in Trenton

1st time there....EXCELLENT!!..A very comfortable, extra clean environment and great service...had the Benny for breakfast , good size eggs and back bacon ..... + great coffee refills...Very Friendly staff!..Will be returning for sure!!

Always great food and service.

We used to frequent this diner every weekend, however since it changed ownership it has gone downhill. We have given them many chances, hoping things would improve, but sadly they have not. The homefries are absolutely awful. They are boiled potatoes that taste like they never touched the grill. On our last visit, the server asked how our meal was, and we told her the potatoes weren t good, and she shrugged and walked away and never came back for the duration of our dining time. This was not the first time we had told them about the potatoes. The first time, we told the owner and she responded oh well . The tea water is lukewarm. We will not be going back.

I got a take out breakfast to go. The service was very friendly, the food was great. Its a diner atmosphere. I didnt stay but it looked very clean. Lots of parking.

Always a fantastic breakfast!

Breakfast Poutine Bliss! This breakfast poutine is pure perfection. The crispy, golden home fries provide the perfect base each bite delivering that satisfying crunch on the outside and pillowy softness inside. Topped with savory bits of bacon and ham, every forkful is packed with flavor. But the real stars? The gooey melted cheddar cheese and perfectly cooked eggs that crown the dish. The runny yolk adds a rich, silky texture that ties all the elements together beautifully. Whether you re a breakfast lover or poutine enthusiast, this dish offers the best of both worlds, combining hearty comfort food with a gourmet twist. It s an indulgent start to the day that I d highly recommend to anyone seeking a satisfying and flavorful breakfast experience!

Great diner. Stopped in for breakfast. French toast hit the spot and the staff are super friendly. Definitely worth the trip Food : 5/5 |

Having never eaten here before it was a lovely first experience. Food was good. Staff were excellent; very personable and welcoming.

Amazing food and awesome service as always a great place to eat

If 6 stars was a thing. This place would get 6 for sure. Fast, friendly, and excellent service every time. Great food. Highly recommend!!

Staff is always friendly. Food is great, nice selection.

Very good breakfast fare with friendly and efficient service. Will be back

Love going to Reds Restaurant because its Awesome Amazing Homemade Breakfast I ever had because Im just lazy making my own Breakfast.

Had a delicious breakfast here - classic Benny with baked beans. I was expecting heinz beans from a can, but these were outstanding! Very friendly, prompt service. I highly recommend this place!

An excellent place to get a great breakfast. Excellent atmosphere and the staff are lovely.

Very friendly and talented staff

Arrived for breakfast and was given a coffee and menu to discover after a few minutes and deciding on my order that this establishment only accepts cash or debit. I Google searched for the best breakfast in Trenton and Reds popped up. I arrived hungry only to have to get up embarrassed and make the walk of shame because I only had brought a visa. After the experience I wouldn t go back with cash, I didn t like how it made me feel.

Great clubhouse sandwich and even better homemade coconut cream pie. Service is outstanding.

Very nice staff, good food, reasonable price.

First timer everything was perfect!!!

Trentons hidden breakfast Gem.

We went for breakfast today and service was friendly, place looked clean, food was yummy and came quickly and had no complaints... Until we got the bill (which is the reason for the lower review). When we placed our order, we were asked do you want green peppers, cheese, onions, and mushrooms in your home fries? And the way it was phrased made it seem like it was just something offered with the fries at no cost. We get the bill and found we were charged an extra $7.50 for the add ons! Not once was an extra cost mentioned when this was offered when we placed our order and when I mentioned it to the girl at the cash, she awkwardly just told us it was just the way it is. Just left a really sour taste in our mouth after what was a pleasant experience and for this reason I don t see us coming back. If you re going to charge people extra for something you re proactively offering, it needs to be said upfront. Especially when we got the exact same amount of food on the plate as everyone who just got regular home fries - didn t even get extra food for the extra money we spent.

Great place

It s worth the drive to Trenton for Raspberry Lemon Cake. Delicious

Great food.. as always, great service.. as always... recommend to all

Great service and always offering 2nd cup of coffee.

Love it here!! I really liked the breakfast poutine I had! Great service, great people, great food!!

Meals and Drinks

Breakfast: straightforward and good food but service was exemplary. Kind, considerate and easy. Very impressed and would go back again simply because of the customer service.

Great classic diner in small town. Prompt service, fair prices and quality food.

I am very glad my mom and I discovered this lil gem hidden just off the base through the stop lights by McKessons I never knew they were in that plaza there, but sure am glad I found them. Pleasant atmosphere. Very helpful, cheery, and energetic staff. Cook prepares your food to your exact specifications even if it needs to be sent back for a lil crispier bacon or whatever the case may be...lol. endless coffee and very comparable prices for the amount of serving you receive its well worth it. I actually feel as tho Im getting a deal, which is very rare nowadays I am a repeat customer here and cannot wait for Friday mornings as thats our weekly visit to Reds!! Vegetarian options: There are a few different vegetarian options available Dietary restrictions: Dietary restrictions are endorsed. My husband doesnt eat pork and was able to substitute his meat for another option. Also I am diabetic and they are understanding and accommodating to our needs. Parking: There are multiple handicap spaces/options available which is nice. As well as a whole good sized parking lot as it is in a plaza. Kid-friendliness: They have a whole kids menu full of options for the Littles. As well as highchairs accessible for babies/toddlers. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility there are ramps built in to the sidewalk for wheelchair accessibility.

Hidden treasure... .

Friendly staff good prices

I love this place. You know those places where you go one time and its great, and the next time it would have been better to eat kraft dinner? Well thats not Reds. Same experience and quality every time. If you go with a larger group you may wait a bit, but Im happy to wait because they dont sacrifice anything for speed when making the food. Im happy to pay their price and Ill always recommend this place. Love it, keep up the good work!

Excellent breakfast

We had a lovely breakfast, 2 adults and 3 kids, everyone ate every bite. Friendly service, and even with the restaurant almost full the food didnt take long. Well be back! Parking: There is a large parking lot with unpaved parking on the side for larger vehicles Kid-friendliness: Staff are super with kids, lots of menu options, bathrooms are family-friendly.

Great service and price. Our server was very friendly. Pecan banana french toast was amazing.

We ve been here for breakfast several times. Food is beautifully cooked and the service is attentive but not overwhelming. Great spot.

Great small diner in Trenton! Top 2 for sure! Great food and friendly staff! No complaints here

This is a place where I could go every day and enjoy it.

New Ownership I thought I loved Reds before. The omelette was delicious. The staff is attentive, courteous and very pleasant. Great little spot Food : 5/5 |

Great atmosphere with great food and friendly service

Wow.. wow.. if I could, I would give it more stars, first time back in years and years. The atmosphere was great, the service was hopping, very tentative, and the food and food portion was very generous enough, so I had to take home a portion of it. We will be back again soon. I need me some apple pie next time.

Best breakfast around ! Friendly staff and there lunch is amazing aswell....and dont forget desert , the apple pie with icecream is absolutely delicious !!!

First time there and will 100% be our my list to go back to if in the area again. Got enough for breakfast and second breakfast later tonight!

the breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly

Food was excellent along with friendly service. Good atmosphere and very clean.

Nice simple breakfast spot. Friendly staff.

The place is nice and clean and every table full. It was good but I think there is better in Quinte West. Note that you will enjoy the food and very awesome service.

New owners in October went last week very nice people.food is great like always.

First time there since the new owners took over. Same menu, still have the newfie tube steak and eggs. Ione thing for sure you dont have to worry about your coffee going empty. Food

We have been going to Reds since it opened. Recently it was sold and I have to say the food is even better. I know I had Eggs Benny and the Hollandaise sauce was made from scratch. You could really tell the difference. The home fries are to die for. You can add bits of mushroom, onion or cheese whatever you want in them. They are seasoned to perfection. The owner came and asked us how we enjoyed our meal and sat with us for a minute. Great Service Fantastic Food and really great staff. Highly recommend.

My favorite breakfast place in Trenton. One of the few places that will add onions and/or mushrooms to your home fries.

The best breakfast in trenton. Worth the wait if you get there late, asham that its for sale but the staff is great. Cinnamon swirl pancakes are usually what the wife goes for i usally go for the bog red special pr the seven. Coffee is amazing. Parking: Plenty of parking and lot is regularly maintained

Great breakfast nook.

Excellent food, great staff

What an amazing little find ! Gluten and dairy free options ! My breakfast was incredible. Great service and atmosphere. Anyone with allergies this is the place to go !

Great place to eat always busy especially on the weekends the prices are fair

This was a great breakfast experience. A very classic, stereotypical diner setting. Clean and bright, with a fun, comfortable, sligtly old-fashioned vibe to it. Portion size was great, with the meals being brought out quite quickly after ordering. Would be nice if debit was an option, but regardless there is an ATM on site.

Great breakfast

Good food and great service the meal came hot and it was delicious

10/10 Craigs favorite breakfast around

Have eaten here with my kids probably a dozen times and it has always been 5 star, however on this occasion, even though the food itself was very good, my 2 young teenagers had ordered hot chocolate. The hot chocolates were so watery as to be almost tasteless. I blame myself for not pointing this out to one of the servers. I should have and failed to do so. What was more disappointing was the fact that around 12:45 the staff started placing the chairs upside down on to the empty tables and then proceeded to start mopping the floors. I thought to myself, wow they must want to get an early start to closing the restaurant for 1 PM until I realised that Reds closes at 2 PM. More people were entering the restaurant at around 1:15 and half the tables had upside down chairs on them while 1 of the staff was mopping the floors. This was extremely unprofessional and of course makes most people feel like they are in the way and the staff wants their customers to leave as soon as possible. This was on Sunday Dec 18th as I recall because it was the same day as the Mens Soccer World Cup Final. We will probably dine here again as it has always been 5 Star on the other occasions but never again past noon, and if the hot chocolate is as watery as it was on this day, I will definitely not be shy about mentioning this and asking for replacements.

Excellent every time great food great staff you feel like your at home , familiar comfortable happy Thank you sincerely M. Brown Food

Food was very tasty and service was quick and friendly.

Absolutely delicious food! This Diner is a hidden gem! Aside from the incredibly friendly staff, the food came quick and was so so good! So many options for adults and children! The prices were so reasonable they were almost unbelievable. We do a lot of traveling and have eaten at many diners and breakfast nooks but this one tops the list Vegetarian options: Lots of options Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free options Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Bathrooms and entryway werr all wheelchair accessible

Great service, but portions were small for the price and part of the meal was cold.

Great menu,food and service.

Decent place for breakfast. Cash only.

Had the bologna and eggs. The bologna was a like off didnt feel well after.

Good breakfast, good pricing, friendly service. Bring cash though; cash only

Reds Diner was very good to our hockey team that showed up with little notice. After being turned down by many larger chain restaurants, we almost gave up our search to find a place where our team could eat together. Anytime we are passing by, we will make sure to stop in for some great Diner food. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

This is now my favorite restaurant. Nothing fancy but amazing food for a very reasonable price. Portions are very large. Everything is cooked to perfection. Have already told lots of friends to give it a try.

Absolutely love this place!! Excellent service and the food is always incredible.

Great food .... great prices!

Always good food. Very friendly staff.

Best breakfast Ive had in along time. Lots of breakfast options.

A good place to eat with friendly service.

Reds is always a great place for breakfast. Hit and miss when you arrive, you may need to wait a few minutes for a table but its definitely worth the wait.

Food is always fresh and very well prepared. Staff are always pleasant. Having a better take out menu and online take out menu would be great and help them to do more business. Keep in mind they only take cash, but they do have a bank machine in the building if you want to pay the extra fees to withdraw from it.

It is more like home than a restaurant. Awesome

Breakfast is a good price. Nice Canadian breakfast. Dont know if they have beans though. Keep on forgetting to ask

Staff is friendly and attentive. Food was what breakfast food should be and the prices are great, especially when your buddy pays for it! Lol

Delicious, quick, great service, clean bathrooms! Thank you and we will be back!

Our first time and our breakfast was great best in area

Good breakfast, good service and prices. Bacon could have been a little more cooked.

This is my favorite breakfast place. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes and wheelchair parking. Food : 5/5 |

Wait staff are very friendly and check in frequently to make sure you have everything you need (more coffee, etc.) and that your food is good. Kitchen staff are very efficient, food comes out quickly and is hot and tasty. Price is excellent, especially for the amount of food you are getting and the quality. Great place to enjoy breakfast, lunch or brunch. Highly recommend trying it out if you havent already.

My daughter and I popped in here for breakfast! The food was top knotch and the service was even better!! Highly recommended!

Not very good food and a little pricey

Delicious food and great service! Just didn t like the fact that they only took cash.

Had breakfast poutine. Was amazing and the waitresses are very good. Will be back for sure.

Great food and service! we went the last two weekends in a row with my seven month old daughter, and all the staff was super great. They have high chairs and a change table. Kid-friendliness: High chairs available, and change table.

This place is close to my work and we usually meet up for breakfast. Everything is great. My top breakfast place in Trenton. Only complaint is that they dont take debit or credit card. They do have a ATM. Bring cash. Update: They have a debit machine now. I went for lunch and it was not as good as their breakfast.

took one of my daughters and best friend for some breaks thier the other day.. was sooooo good. excellent food and service, will definitely be back.

Been eating here for 10 years now and have yet to have a bad meal. Glad the new owners never changed a thing. Same great staff,making sure my coffee is always refilled before I can ask

Take out for a work breakfast was good. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

Delicious food, fair prices and amazing staff! Best breakfast spot in Quinte area!

Always good food and service here. Best breakfast in town!

First time eating there and was pleased with the ood sized food portions.

Friendly...decent prices...good parking

Great food, service and prices. We had The Big Red and Eggs Benny. Lots of food, well presented and very tastey. Service was very good, attentive but not overbearing. Appreciated the owner stopping to chat as well very nice homey touch. Will definitely be back.

The staff at Reds are over the top with smiles and talk. The food and portions are above and beyond!!! Go to Reds

Enjoyed a great breakfast with coworkers, decent price and service was wonderful.

Food was delicious and hot. Waitress was very friendly

Amazing breakfast BLT. Staff was amazing too.

No comments

Great food and great service and very reasonable prices!

Wow! Great breakfast! Super busy on Sunday morning but got seated quicky by a super friendly hostess, Mia. Then received professional and friendly table service from Kaitlyn. The food was perfect! This was worth the drive from PEC.

We were in a hurry to eat and make an appointment, they were very accommodating and we were able to get out with a nice lunch inside us in time

Very disappointing. We asked to replace our meat with potatoes, onions, .. instead they charged us the regular price + the potatoes. Our bill should ve been 50$ but we ended up with a bill of 80$ as they charged for every little things as extras instead of replacing it as they said they d do. We will avoid next time.

Great place, excellent breakfast.

Good breakfast, friendly service.

Typical breakfast food, nothing to stand out but nothing to make it bad

Lunch date with my husband

Visited yesterday morning and was very impressed with the menu and service. Very friendly (I wish I could remember our servers name as she went above and beyond when we asked for breakfast recommendations). The menu had a little bit of everything to choose from and they are willing to modify anything. I had the veggie eggs Benedict which I would recommend :)

The food was amazing as always! They were almost amazing with my 3yo son!

Best place around for breakfast! Great staff and amazing food and prices are low

Reds Diner served up delish dishes and filled our our wishes. I had the Reds breakfast poutine and oh what a dream. Poutine is the best food to me if you know what I mean. The perfect pick-me-up to get the day started. My stomach was full when we parted.

Food and service is awesome. Only problem is waitress eating behind counter. Fingers to mouth and not washing hands before serving customers food. Not the first time seeing this but the last time i will be eating there.

[LGBTQ+ Friendly!] Staff was fantastic and arent afraid to admit when something is wrong. I ordered onion rings and had already paid, but they were happy to refund me and offer me an exchange as well! Super professional and delicious

Amazing food, portion size is just fantastic for the price

Food and service was great

Incredible service and food was awesome

Always a great fesh meal and a smile.

Super friendly and attentive staff. Great Diner decor. Homemade , delicious food. Definitely a go to. Prices are great. Portions generous

fast ,friendly hot and great portions

Same as some other people commenting here. We asked to substitute the sausage and ham with mushrooms and onions, no problem, they said. Then they charged us an extra $8!!! For mushrooms and onions!!! We have tried to contact the owners and they will not even call us back. Will never go back again, I would suggest Dougies Diner in Trenton.

Good little place, welcoming waitress, typical little neighborhood restaurant, affordable price and good quantity on the plate. I recommend it.

This was my first time here! I had the half order of the poutine and it was PERFECT: the lovely zing of garlic, not toooo much meat, the egg was done just the way I wanted and even though Anthony Bourdain says to never order the hollandaise, I went with my gut (literally) and was glad I did! The coffee was legit, the waitress was sweet, and even the bathroom was ok. I was surprised that they only take CASH. Great location, check it out!

Consistent; good breakfast and friendly waitstaff

Always great

Excellenté! Great bkfst experience. Filled a nichw in my life. Katelynn was the greatest will visit again.

Nice little place. Very friendly staff. Delicious food!

Great service by Amber especially the strawberry banana milkshake. Peamale melt was sizeable and good. Thanks we will be back.

Great service great food

Reds supplied breakfast sandwiches last week for a charity golf marathon for Quinte Youth Unlimited that raised $18,000+ for local youth programs! 10 golfers and caddies started early in the morning with full tummies thanks to Reds!

Monkey Fuel Station.. Love everything.. Rust Monkey Garage Food : 5/5

It was amazing! Great food and friendly service!

the poutine is yummi!!! and this is coming from a french canadian

My eggs were not cooked. Very runny. Alot of flies inside the restaurant

I really like the food but they have been cash only for what seems like forever.

visited once ...so far...very friendly staff ..great breakfast and good coffee...will visit in future...good luck to them

Food is good and worth the money. Unfortunately the owner is not professional. She swears, is constantly complaining about covid, vaccination passports and openly says she doesn t check for them. Makes for a very unpleasant dining experience

Good standard breakfast. Pleasant service and reasonable price.

Great home cooked food

Beautiful! Best diner ever! Wonderful staff, I would rate this place 10 if I could but the numbers only go to 5

Best breakfast joint in Quinte! In fact if I could only have one restaurant left in town this might be the one! Tammy and Dorothy are such amazing hosts! So friendly and the food is always fast and fresh! Classic diner fare done right!

Great food, nice staff and owners.

Excellent as always, just love theyre breakfast

My wife and I love Reds its our favorite spot for breakfast. The food is delicious and well cooked and the staff is very funny and engaging to the customers. It gives you a family environment. Love this place I hope more feel the same.

One of the best breakfast places in Trenton. Great friendly service. The food is great. Highly recommended.

Love Reds. Great food. The girls are fantastic.

Great food and service

Good food, nice selection, good service, and decently fast...every time.

Come here for breakfast once a week, staff is always great and so is the food. Definitely worth checking out.

Great pancakes and friendly staff

I got the big red a few times, it s my favorite breakfast item as it has a bit of everything ham, sausage bacon pancakes, eggs and home fries plus coffee or tea all for $13 the food is great the portion large and service is excellent also being close to both home and work is a bonus as well I would definitely eat again
