This is definately one of our favorite spots to frequent. My husband raves about the prime rib sundays and I for one have never been dissapointed by their salmon entrees. This is a cozy spot. It's great for breakfast, coffee with friends or a nice dinner. Their bread pudding is fantastic and the service is always great. There's often a line-up when we go, which is usually on the weekends. This restaurant attracts an eclectic mix of students, intellectuals and people who have been regulars for decades (which is how we heard about this spot.) This is a spot that once you go you are addicted and will continue going back. read more

The salmon quesadilla here for dinner was really good but $7+ for a pint is kind of steep. Their homemade ketchup was good but it tasted kind of like salsa so I went back to regular ketchup with my fries. I've heard great things about their brunch so I'll be returning for that. read more

Excellent breakfast/brunch on weekends! One of my favourite spots in Edmonton. Plus their cinnamon buns are to die for.

Prime rib special on Sunday nights! (Follow with some cinnamon buns...)

I've been going to the High Level Diner for over 20 years and they are always great with service, the food is always yummy and the atmosphere is relatively quiet and easy to enjoy. They only lost a star for lack of good parking. :) read more

It was OK fare but for the price I expected better. Potatoes were overcooked and unseasoned. A bacon and eggs breakfast with side of sausage and smoothie over $20 is a bit much to me. read more

The Beef Short Ribs, Fries and Tabouleh were delicious! The Beef fell off the bone. Yum! The bread pudding was good and is big enough to share amongst 3 people. The featured cheesecake, cherry infused with brandy, tasted better than it looked. read more

The quiche was heated in the microwave. The potatoes were dry. They have a weak breakfast menu. And the food was all less than pleasing. But the homemade ketchup was good read more

We had a very positive experience our first time dining here. Although it was packed when we arrived for lunch, the service was very friendly and prompt. We were shown to the next available table as soon as it was available. I had the meat sandwich special with soup, and my girlfriend had the club sandwich with fries. Both were excellent - the fries on her plate were definitely freshly made (not from frozen) with homemade ketchup to boot! When I was paying for the meal, I mentioned it was our first time eating there, and the server kindly offered us a free cinnamon bun to take home. It was a mighty fine baked good. Overall a stellar experience, will be returning. read more

Good eggs and potatoes. Didn't do the bacon the way I asked and the toast was straight up stale. Never had THAT before

I have eaten here a few different times for breakfast and lunch. It's always okay but it has never been an over the top amazing experience for me. read more

Called and asked if there was a lineup...was told no. Got there 10 minutes later and they were lined up out the door. Called from outside the restaurant and asked again about the lineup. I believe I was talking to the manager. She told there was a small lineup...but not out the door.! I don't like wasting my time or being lied to. Went to Tasty Tom's a few blocks away and was seated right away for a scrumptious breakfast. read more

Our favorite restaurant while living in Edmonton, and always a highlight when we visit the area. Everything we've ordered has been delicious. Always such a great selection of celiac-friendly meals available. read more

This is a favourite of a friend and mine. We always return here when we are craving gooey cheesy comfort food. The wait staff are brilliant very attentive and chatty (even recommend us a kick boxing class) and can help you out if you are feeling overwhelmed by their hearty menu items. It is a bit expensive but justified by portion size. Their home brew ice tea will blow you mind. But most importantly their pie, it's fair to say I have been to almost every pie shop in the city and High Level Dinner's Strawberry Rhubarb pie with creme will continue t blow my mind. I swear they have managed to capture euphoria in pie form.... just saying. It's a great cozy place for friends or if you are looking for a casual pre-movie dinner date this is the place to go! read more

This is a terrific place for breakfast! Excellent choices, cinnamon buns are amazing, great location We have also done the ukrainian dinner on thursdays several times and it was consistently great! read more

We chose High Level because it was close to our direction of travel and we were very pleasantly surprised with how lively, comfortable and inviting it was. The servers were attentive and the food was delicious. A simple menu made choosing easy and with many local produce and sauces used you are bound to enjoy your meal. We had the eggs Florentine with fire-grilled tomatoes and baby potatoes. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be back again on out next stop to Edmonton. read more

This place is a fantastic jem if you visit Edmonton! The fact that you probably will have to wait for a table is just evidence of how good it is. They even make their own ketchup for crying out loud! Do yourself a favor, and check this place out. Enough said. read more

My wife and I went to the Highlevel Diner for the first time In a long time for brunch this morning. The food, coffee, service and ambience where just as I remembered, just great. I had the eggs, bacon with real pan fried potatoes and my wife had the date nut muffin and fruit with yogurt. We commented how nice it is to have a place to go that doesn't change but just keeps offering up the same great food and service. read more

Seemed like a great place to eat, but after 30 minutes of my partner trying to find parking with no luck, I left to look for somewhere else to eat. Servers were kind and gave advise for somewhere to park. read more

I don't understand the great reviews. My daughter and I went for breakfast last week and were completely unimpressed. The restaurant is dark, dated and tired. The food is bland and unimaginative. Fruit in the fruit cup was either rock hard or squishy - yuck. Service was fine. read more

The highlevel is one of Edmonton's historic gems, and a wonderful diner. My husband and I have been dining there for more than 15 years, and are always impressed with the quality of service, food, atmosphere, and friendly staff. The menu offers a wide enough selection that we never get tired of it. The Highlevel is owner-run and this is reflected in the knowledge of the menu. I have a gluten allergy, and the Highlevel is very good at accomodating my special dietary requirements. read more

I have eaten breakfast and lunch at the High level diner many times over the years. The food and service seems to be getting better and better each time. In particular, their eggs benny is to live for! Michael K. read more

I came here with a friend on a hungover Sunday afternoon and I almost died of happiness. I am a big fan of eggs Benedict and the one here blew my mind. I ordered the florentine style which was a delicious creamy spinach topped with the poached eggs. This is by far the most original styled spinach eggs Benedict I've ever had and I would go back ever Sunday to get it again if I had the time. The only thing that brought the 5 star to a 4 star was the long wait to get in. Of course, it wasn't a surprise that there was a long line, totally worth the wait! read more

This place is just super reliable. I've always had good service and consistent food. It's a diner so the food is homey and comforting. The Cinnamon Buns are AMAAAAZING. You can get a plain one which is just the right sweetness. There's no icing so it's just really fluffy and subtle. If you like the sweet you can order the sauce that is also amazing. They are pretty busy on the weekends for brunch but it's worth it to wait. Their service is efficient and friendly so you can get a table in no time. read more

Often busy, but totally worth it! Best brunch in Edmonton! I usually order the breakfast special, and replace the toast with a pancake, that way I get a little bit of all my favourite things. & very reasonably priced! read more

I was pretty disappointed with the English muffins used in my gf eggs Benny. The eggs and sauce were excellent though. I use Glutino brand English muffins at home and they taste great. I'd encourage the diner to use those instead. read more

This used to be one of my fav places to eat but as of late, the food seems to have gone downhill. Their nachos used to be amazing - lots of cheese, retried beans, guacamole and lots of meat - but not so the last few times I ate there. They do have a creative specials menu which is tasty but the usual items are hit and miss. Too bad, nice atmosphere and good desserts. read more

Came here on a weekday evening, and it was packed. From the outside, the place looked a bit sketchy, but do not let the outside appearance fool you. The food was pretty good. I had the shepherd's pie with tabouleh salad. The pie was flavourful and moist. It was a bit salty for my taste, but it was still good. The salad was fresh and had a wonderful mixture of parsley and couscous. The service was pretty good, considering the place was busy. The price was reasonable. It is a nice place if you want to go with some friends after work or studying. read more

I've been going here since I was a baby. The food is consistently amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. It's a historical location and many people really love it read more

I was visiting Edmonton for the weekend and looking for a place to have lunch before the drive home on Sunday. Everyone I know from Edmonton was raving about Sugarbowl, so we decided to check it out. I don't know what it is about the parking in Edmonton, but wow it was terrible. We drove around 4 or 5 times to find a spot then finally realized there was parking in the back..lol. Anyway, it was about a 20 minute wait at Sugarbowl so we said screw it and came here. I haven't eaten here in many, many years, since I used to live in Edmonton back in the day. It was my dads favourite restaurant, he would always rave about the Shepard's Pie. We saw some people having brunch on the patio and it looked really tasty, so we grabbed a spot and checked out the menu. I really wanted the eggs benny, but I was told they were out of hollandaise sauce so I ordered the quiche. My boyfriend was stuck between the clubhouse and the Shepard's pie, and I convinced him to go with the pie. He was VERY glad he did (and I was too, because I snuck a few bites!). The quiche wasn't as good as I was expecting - being smoked salmon, goat cheese, and some other yummy sounding things - but it was still filling and satisfying. I love the Highlevel Diner because it's been around for ages so you know they're doing something right. The atmosphere is cozy and cute, and the food is always delicious. I will definitely return next time I'm in town! read more

Just by the decor, service, and menus...this place is very unappetizing. There's a smell of old carpet and the menus are mishapen, stained and look like a hazard to touch. Not my thing i guess.. read more

The breakfast here is very delicious. Very homey and fresh. The server I got was very hospitable and the service was fairly fast. I enjoyed it. Will come again. Latte in a bowl also a nice bonus to my meal. read more

Good breakfast/brunch place. Must arrive early!!! Opens at 8:30 on Sunday and by 9:20 there will only be a couple tables left. Service is great. Our waitress was super friendly. If it's winter, don't sit by the window, very cold! Food was good, nothing amazing, but good. I had the original eggs Benedict. read more

Went to this awesome place for breakfast... and then went back later for dinner! Great vegetarian selection. I recommend the huevos rancheros. read more

Amazing food & great service. Unique selections makes it different from other places. Homemade ketchup is yummy. Will be back again for sure. read more

Lots of good options here and the cinnamon buns are of course dynamite. Sometimes I order fries just to use the homemade ketchup they have - club sandwich is fantastic as well as the chili, not a huge fan of the burger. read more

I went here for the Ukrainian night and wasn't disappointed! It was sooo good. I have never had such amazing cabbage rolls in my life. You pay a good price for the food you get and the service is great :) read more

Awesome place to grab lunch and breakfast! Haven't been for dinner but looking forward to the experience. Also it is a proven fact that the cinnamon buns sold here will solve every single problem in the world. Great service, awesome food. read more

Our first visit was today for Mothers Day supper, it was a last minute booking so couldn't reserve a table for 5 until 7:45 but it was well worth the wait. The food was plentiful and beautifully cooked. We had between us Nachos, Chicken Souvlaki, the Diner Clubhouse and Fahitas and everyone loved what they had ordered. House red was great too. The cheesecake was melt in the mouth delicious. Wonderful attentative service and even though they were busy we did not have to wait long for anything. Parking was tricky as their lot was full but would not put me off going again. If you want fancy decor don't come here as the furnishings were not glamorous but who cares when the food tastes so darn good! read more

This used to be a good place to go. Now, the focus is on getting the food out cheaply. There's lots better, I'll never go back. The coffee was good tho. read more
