Decent diner style restaurant. It was packed and we still only waited 2 minutes for a table. Food was solid. We give it 5 stars because we got exactly what we needed for a quick breakfast before hitting the road. Even the coffee was decent. Parking was ample read more

Alberts Place was 50% full Sunday at 12PM. Waitress wasn't exactly thrilled to be there but was very efficient and I actually loved that she brought the bill when she came to get our empty dishes. Didn't make us feel rushed to get out just left the bill and let us know we can pay at the front counter when we were ready. Eggs Bendict Special: Boyfriend loved it but wasn't full after ( 2 soft eggs on muffin and hashbrowns). Meat Fest Scrambler: Felt like 2-3 scrambled eggs, lots of small meat chunks, hashbrowns were good but could have been crispier and used some seasoning salt. Good portion size. Rye toast was very fresh. Overall a good breakfast place if your in the area but I wouldn't drive across the city to eat here again. read more

Old school restaurant with a very homey atmosphere. Standard North American-type food served with a smile. Service was good, food was good and the price was good. I go here all the time for Sunday morning breakfast... read more

First time coming to Albert's. The place was packed on the Sunday when we came, but they got us a table almost right away. Our order came out fast even though it was super busy. Food was awesome. My whole family really enjoyed their meals! Keep up the great work! I will be back for sure. read more

I haven't been to Albert's in a long time, especially since moving downtown. I remember going to the one on 99th ST a once or twice when I was living in Millwoods. We got up at the crack of dawn to have breakfast here before work. This place opens at 7:00AM so to feed those of us that are too lazy to cook at home and need coddling before work. I had blueberry French toast and my partner had a waffle of some kind. The food came out quickly and it was overall a painless process. HUGE portions, but unsurprisingly we stuffed it all down as a coping mechanism and to help us face they day. Our server kept the coffee coming so that was a plus. The decor is so old school/diner style it makes me laugh. It's like stepping back in time. :) Orange juice was strange - it was very pulpy, but still somehow tasted off. Otherwise no complaints! I'll probably be back for another early AM breakfast sesh at some point! read more

Knowing we had limited time and seeing that the Urban Diner's line was out the door, my bf decided we were going to Albert's. I was less than enthusiastic, given many Albert's have closed or become really dodgy. I hadn't been in one in easily 15 years, and never to this location. But my bf knew better as I reluctantly followed him in. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the service. The place was busy with people of all sorts streaming in, quickly being seated and served. Though dated and minimalistic, the restaurant is clean and bright. Our server Colleen was an absolute gem, and I heard other patrons compliment her on her friendly and efficient service. She greeted everyone with a smile and checked our coffee at least 4 times in 40 minutes despite the place being packed. Heck, she won our hearts when she asked and then delivered hot sauce to our table. Thank you Colleen, you made an impression! The food was pretty good too, at prices that are comparable to Smitty's or Ricki's, which to be honest are a little higher than needed for what you get. I had potato pancakes with 2 pieces of bacon (~$8.50, a little expensive IMO), optional sides of sour cream or apple sauce. They reminded me more of latkes than pancakes, I posted a picture of them - they were nicely fried, not too greasy, and flavourful. My bf had eggs, pork sausage and hash browns. Gold star for chunky hashbrowns and not nasty shoestring ones! He loved his meal and I even liked the pork sausage, which I often find too chewy and fatty. Even the coffee was good. A very good meal all around! A great place to go if you're on a budget but still want a good quality, home made breakfast. Albert's is an Edmonton institution, for better or for worse, but this location really does the legacy proud. I'm sorry I had a bad attitude walking in! I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. read more

Albert's Family Restaurant - Potato pancakes (more like latkes!) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

We come here for breakfast really early in the mornings before work starts and the selling point of this place is that the staff is always always so cheerful and happy in the mornings, ready to offer you coffee even before you sit down. Lorraine is an awesome ray of sunshine. They have a special in the mornings: if you come in before 11am you get a full breakfast of two eggs, two meat of your choice (bacon or sausage) and either hash browns and toast or two buttermilk pancakes - all for 7.99! I will be very sad if this place closes, because it's always a good start to my day. read more

Thanks to everyone who served me a great (as usual) breakfast last Sunday (June 20). They were so busy, which after a hard year for restaurants, is good to see. See you again soon. RMC read more

A favorite go to place. Comfy and warm ambience. Claudine (Tres bien) and Leslie (Owner) rock. Rest of staff very courteous as well. Food is very classic and tastes like homemade. Wonderful attention from waitresses with an added friendliness and personal prompt service; especially accommodating to children. Keep up the great service and food.

This place has been around forever for a reason people. It's so iconic, they shot a movie here. If you are looking for a breakfast that lacks in trappings or pretense but delivers on the promise of filling your belly with wholesome, home style breakfast - then you need to check out Albert's. I think when you're walking up to a place and their main exterior decoration is just the words: "STEAK PANCAKES STEAK PANCAKES, etc." You know what you can expect. & You would be right, simple, straight forward tasty - FOOD. Served up by staff who know what tf they are doing because they have been doing it the right way forever. When I went I had a skillet, and it was a complete delight. Everything was prepared - just right, I don't know how else to describe it. Not too much of anything, not too little. Great portions for a big eater like myself. Just an all around great place and great bang for your buck, go eat at Albert's or don't call yourself an Edmontonian lol read more

Albert's is exactly what you expect from an affordable breakfast spot. The coffee is not the best and the food can be hit or miss, but the prices are great and the service is quick. Looking for somewhere to get a quick and affordable breakfast? This is the spot! read more

How can it be that I've never reviewed Albert's? This is my go to Sunday brunch destination (especially if there is a hangover involved). We used to live round the corner so don't go anywhere near as often but when we do the staff always remember us and are very patient with our two year old. she knows the drill in there and waits for the crayons and crackers before her breakfast. We normally order the Eggs Benedict and Lil' Riser (pancakes, sausage and hash browns) and we split between the three of us, it's the perfect amount of food. The coffee is Seattle's Best and it just keeps coming. Service is consistently good and the price is too. It's a basic diner - nothing fancy but it does the job and does it well. There is lots of tables so you don't need to worry about getting in for weekend brunch times like some of the trendier brunch spots. It does exactly what it says on the tin. read more

You want breakfast? Albert's has it! The Albert's on 124 Street is a personal favourite of mine, pancakes are always delicious, and the eggs benny is probably the best for the price in the city. Scrumptious. Bonus points are that they are very accommodating with the junior member of our clan. Crayons and drawing supplies are always quickly offered and Jeannie loves the food too. Service is good, they make you feel most welcome. Well done guys!! read more

I was at the restaurant this morning for breakfast and ordered the 2 eggs breakfast with fruit cup. I cannot believe it cost me $8.20 for a plate of food that came out literally ONLY had a small ramekin of fruit and I'm not even sure if that is even 2 eggs right there. That is the most disappointing breakfast I've ever had and its so unreasonably expensive. I'm very disappointed. I will not recommend coming here and I will never return. I swear McDonald's big breakfast for $4 is way more food and tasted way better than this... read more

When you go to an Albert's, you know basically what you're getting. It's all right, food is pretty mainstream. I've never had anything but food off the breakfast menu, but it's good breakfast fare. The service is really great though. The regular wait staff are really on the ball. read more
