Ordered a customized omelette and it was good. But the "substitutes" are actually "charged changes" Price of my omelette went up 3.50 just becaus eof changing to egg whites and the meal went up another 3.50 because I changed hash brown for fruits, ended paying $27 on some egg whites with fruit meal read more

Melissa's MisSteak - Overpriced, read comment - Steakhouses Near Me - Banff, Alberta

Went here for breakfast just a couple days ago. I had the Apple Pancake, which was AMAZING. I had originally intended to share it, but that happened to a much lesser degree than originally intended . My friends got breakfast sandwich and traditional breakfast plates and were also very happy. We're planning to go back tomorrow! read more

The food was amazing and even with the large group we had (30+) staff were attentive and helpful. After the the meal head upstairs to the bar for well priced drinks and good music! read more

We walked into this rustic restaurant late evening yesterday and ordered burgers and pizza. I noticed the waitress was in a hurry probably because it was near closing. After a half hour wait, our burgers arrived sans our pizza. The replacement waitress said it was not placed by the wait staff and on the same breath, said kitchen was already closed. Ordered the strawberry rhubarb pie, which was good but tiny. Still left a tip. PS. Burgers were flavorful but small and tough. read more

as any place in Banff, most of the menu is meat meat meat. but this place actually does a pretty good attempt at offering few good looking vegetarian options. we went here thanks to the description in one of our banff guides brochures. it said that the restauratn has a wooden cabin feeling and family cozy atmosphere inside. and that was true=) first floor is decorated as a cabin in woods. second floor is just a pub. the service was very attentive and our waiter had a great sense of humor made us laugh few times. the food was great. my homemade veg burger came out to be $11 or so with caesar salad on the side (that was served with the burger and prior to it as an appetizer=)) very nice place if you're looking for something a bit away from touristy area too. read more

Disgusting server, extremely rude and racist. Better educate your employee. Shame for your business. Asked for water, ignored. Walked away while we were putting an order. Delivered food without manner, slammed plates&cups on the table. Tried to taking plates away while I was eating without asking any. Food was cold-pizza & stake. Absolutely unprofessional and under-educated. Since I wrote the review they are so busy defending themselves, yet no genuine apology. Please spend more time to educate your workers proper manner instead of wasting your time to delete all negative truthful reviews. ***update Aug. 1 2017, some reason my review on yelp, facebook, and trip advisor is keep getting deleted just after they replied what a coincidence!*** They also replied my review saying that they want me to contact their manager and they would never treat guests differently by color or language but after I read through many previous reviews it is absolutely not true*** I won't give up until they realize how awful some of their workers are and either fire them or training them properly read more

Are you kidding me?! Having to wait for service while the staff are chatting?? Arguing with me?! Serving me RAW bacon?? I asked for my bacon soft, as opposed to crisp, and it came out slimy & lukewarm - the fat wasn't even rendered! We used to LOVE Melissa's, but it was such a disappointment today! And not only did a manager not even bother to come to the table, the other staff were obviously made aware of the situation because I could see them gawking at me from around the corner. Our waitress will tell you I was rude, but that wasn't until after she made a point of telling me I was wrong. And this is NOT just about the bacon. Whatever happened to customer service? Our waitress feels so utterly secure & superior in her position that we were a mere afterthought for her this morning - talking with her co-worker was more important than taking care of us or getting our food out to us in a timely manner. I don't appreciate being condescended to, nor do I appreciate being argued with. When a customer tells you to stop talking and to go away, you should. Don't be personally offended and try to win the argument or get the last word in, but realize that by continuing the argument you are making the customer more upset and escalating the situation. Telling me it's Sunday morning will have no bearing on making me less upset with your lack of proficiency and professionalism - it actually made things worse. We have been going to Melissa's for over 25 years - we had our wedding rehearsal dinner there in September of 1995!! We won't go back, and they don't care. Melissa's USED to be our favourite, and they USED to serve the best breakfast, but they are just a disappointment now & simply don't care about quality or customer service. With the millions of tourists that go through Banff each year, Melissa's doesn't need to worry about striving for excellence, or cultivating repeat customers. They don't deserve the one star I'm forced to give them in order to leave these comments. Zero stars. read more

I ordered an eggs benedict and my egg was fully cooked - not runny/poached. The Belgian waffle was also very plain and mediocre. Everything was a little overpriced for what it really was read more

Huge breakfasts, including amazing buttermilk pancakes. Log cabin decor is so charming.

After attending Sunday morning service during our visit to Banff, my wife and I had breakfast at Melissa's (we contemplated checking out Tooloulou's as well but opted for Melissa's based on the number of reviews). I had the smoked salmon benedict while my wife had a pretty standard breakfast of eggs, bacon and sausage. Overall, the food was above average, and the service was a bit slower than what we'd like. However, being on vacation, we did not mind the slow service too much. However, this does not take away from the charm of the restaurant itself. From what I understand, the restaurant has been around forever and is a staple of Banff. It participates in fundraising and charity work in the community. You can tell that the restaurant is quite popular by how busy it was on a Sunday morning. If you ever visit Banff, Melissa is worth visiting but don't expect to be blown away by the food. read more

This is a dive bar with cheap drinks and barely decent bar food. The place is old and dirty. Treat yourself to something better if you are on vacation in Banff. read more

Would not recommend. My least favorite meal of banff. Went for brunch and got the huevos rancheros and classic omelette. Very cheap-y feeling diner read more

Appropriately named "mistake". Extremely overpriced from the liquor to the dessert. Food was lukewarm at best. Baked potato was cold. Ribs were tough and room temperature (as was the salmon). When paying these prices I expect the quality and quantity of a Mortons or Ruth Chris experience. A major disappointment!! read more

Excellent food and courteous servers. We dined there twice during a 3 days stay at Banff.

After reading the Yelp reviews here we opted to try Melissa's for breakfast rather than a steak dinner (which we ended up going to Saltlik for). Melissa's was a good choice for breakfast - nice laid back cottage-style atmosphere and great food. We had eggs benedict which was very tasty as were the pancakes. Service was good too. Put this on your list for a decent breakfast in Banff! read more

Melissa's is a good, wholesome, restaurant. We ate breakfast here all three mornings we were in town. My favorite was the Swiss Apple Pancake (I wish I had ordered it every day instead of trying different things). They also will prepare a bag lunch for hiking while you are eating if you request it. We only went for breakfasts so I can't speak about lunch or dinner. read more

Good service and well priced food. Breakfast is particularly good with some well tried favourites!

No no no. Came here for breakfast and it just wasn't good. Hash browns were extremely under cooked, toast barely toasted, and coffee lukewarm. The atmosphere and decor is pretty cool but otherwise, there are much better places to eat in Banff (Type A Travel blog). read more

Had a really great dinner here with a couple of friends after spending the day hiking in Banff. The food was very good (we had pasta and steaks) and the service was outstanding. I've been looking for a good place to eat in Banff and I finally found a place that I'll definitely come back to! read more

Although options are limited for breakfast in Banff, this rustic greasy spoon is not too shabby. The service is great and the food is always quick. The menu has a decent selection of breakfast basics, all at decent prices. Don't expect to have the best breakfast of your life, but you can expect to kick start your day with good service and a cup of coffee. read more

Read that this was a favorite place for breakfast for many locals. Poached eggs made in a poacher and poorly done. Over-easy eggs also not cooked well. Pancakes huge and very good. Service friendly. read more

Stopped here for breakfast before hiking 17 miles into Mt Assiniboine Provincial Park so we were intending to load up on calories. Got exactly what we asked for! I had the special of the day, sweet banana bread French toast. So sweet and thick! We also splurged the two extra dollars for authentic Canadian maple syrup. But on the little jar they gave us it said, 'product of USA.' Made in Ontario and apparently shipped back across the border. Anyway, it was still pretty amazing syrup. read more

The tour I was on drove by here and it looked intriguing. The bus operator between the skywalk and glacier tour also called it out as a good place. I could not agree more. The hostess did her best to sit me by a window as they were all full. The waitress, Lanie was attentive and helpful. I had the Melissa Special and while the salmon was good, the chicken supreme was REALLY good. I hear there is a good "dive" bar upstairs, but did not go. I may come back for the breakfast, though! read more

Good hearty tasty breakfast. Worth remembering. I have been to Banff countless times, and am now wondering why I kept walking past this place. Will definitely be back. read more

The service was excellent and my eggs beny was delicious!!! I hope to swing by again before heading home.

Coming here was a huge mistake! They give you 3 ounces of juice and charge you $4 with no refills. Meals are small and very expensive. Food was decent tasting, not amazing but definitely not bad. read more

Had the chorizo benny, the hollandaise sauce was good, but $17.00 for two eggs and greasy shredded hash browns!? Not even a piece of fruit or some little sprig of parsley to give the plate some colour.(Even Cora's puts more effort into their hash browns.) Coffee was weak and not that hot. Service was ok, pretty fast. read more

Best dinner we had in Banff! Every course was better than the last. If your in Banff you have to check this place out - you won't regret it!

Excellent Breakfast place. My fried eggs and toasts were cooked perfect. My daughters ordered Belgian Waffles with blueberries which she loved it. There was also the eggs benedict dish, which my hubby enjoyed very much. Staff and guests were all really friendly and my coffee cup was never empty. I will recommend this place. read more

Excellent food and service, probably one of the better bets for breakfast in Banff. Get here early as the place fills up. Very child friendly. Big breakfast was very good, as well as the ranchero plate. Very friendly place. read more

We had a fabulous experience here today. My son got the eggs Benedict which is often his favorite and he was not disappointed. I got the chef salad and it was one of the best salad I've ever had. Our server was terrific. He was excited to be there and happy to serve us. It was very clean. It was terrific value. Our water glasses stayed full. We will definitely return to show the rest of our family this great little place. read more

Melissa's Missteak became our mistake... Very very disappointed. I took for ever to get seated and ever longer to actually get the food we ordered. After asking for our eggs benedict runny we had to return them below because they were solide... an other 10 min wait. The food it self was very forgettable. Plate is simple (shredded potatoes was the only thing accompanying my eggs) and no depth to the flavor. Needless to say we won't be coming back here. read more

Enjoyable experience - affordable, great selection, fast service, cozy atmosphere, kind staff members. The French Onion Soup was delicious. We didn't venture out in terms of the menu but what we had was good and good for the price. read more

We stopped by this place for takeout after a long hiking trip. We ordered few pizzas and salad for our late dinner. The man at the reception desk took our order and he said a pizza should be enough for 4 people. This is a joke. The pizza was about the size of a personal pizza from Pizza Hut and they charged us 22 Canadian for it. I took a picture with a plastic fork and posted it on the website for reference. This place is a total joke and I would never come back to this place again. This place is a Rip off and falsely advertised the size of their pizzas. read more

Melissa's MisSteak - Steakhouses Near Me - Banff, Alberta

We haven't been to Melissa's in over 20 years and my husband and I were excited to go there today after a visit to Banff on our own. Had a light breakfast so we arrived hungry at 3:15 and asked if there was any way we could get the dinner menu. The maitre d was quite abrupt and said we could make a reservation. We made one for 4 pm and then browsed the nearby shops and arrived back at 3:53. Upon arrival the same Maitre d greeted us with "You're early". Then led us to the table explaining we would have to wait a while to be served. We were finally asked for drinks at 4:15 and received these drinks at 4:20 (25 mins after arriving). The waiter did apologize for the slow service as they were a little understaffed. Rest of our visit was uneventful. Steak was fantastic by the way when it arrived. Peppercorn sauce was delicious. As we were leaving a couple was seated at the table next to us at 5:15 by the same 'friendly' Maitre d who deposited them by saying they would need to wait for 15 minutes until their server arrived. I guess the other servers at the restaurant could not serve this couple. Afterall they were in the wrong for arriving for their reservation 15 minutes early. We will never go back there again unfortunately despite the delicious steak. Kind of a shame as i do have fond memories of the place from my youth. read more

I have been here only one time, for a quick breakfast before heading back home to Edmonton from a snowboarding trip in Lake Louise. The service was great, and the food was also very good. I am a huge fan of breakfast meals, and Melissa's was not a disappointment. Next time I am in Banff, I will definitely come back here for breakfast. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a good meal, and a cozy atmosphere in the beautiful town of Banff! read more

Had a reasonably priced breakfast here that was very satisfying. Good service. However, can get crowded resulting in wait times. Tried going in for dinner as well, but a 45 minute wait. Sat at the upstairs bar hoping for faster servce, but after 15 min we left after no one even took our drink order. For a summer tourist destination like Banff, they need more staff! read more

My husband and I were in search of breakfast in downtown Banff at around noon, and had a terrible time finding any place still offering breakfast. And then we found Melissa's. This place is awesome. They offered all of the classic breakfast choices at a very reasonable price. The coffee was tasty too. The place was pretty dated inside and had a 1980's ski lodge feel, but I loved it. The service was slow, as our waitress was pretty chatty with some of the other patrons. We weren't in a big hurry and didn't much mind. I was satisfied with the experience, overall, and would recommend Melissa's for breakfast or brunch. read more

After a disappointing breakfast at Bruno's, we tried Melissa's. The moment we sat down we said 'ah' because we had found what we were looking for. Warm, cozy atmosphere. Pleasant waitstaff who were more than accommodating with our 2 young kids. I had the signature omelet which was fantastic - all the veggies and ham were cut small enough so that the omelet stayed together and no one flavor was overpowering. The bread came buttered (which I love) and was very fresh and tasty. The kids meal portion of eggs w/ham was extremely generous. We may just keep coming back here rather than trying some other places. read more

Overall a good steak dinner! Nothing completely out of this world, but between the Filet Mignon, NY Strip, and Ripeye, all were done well and cooked as ordered. The veggies and sides that came with the meal were tasty as well. Salads were good that came with the dinners, other than one tomato that had clearly seen better days. Service was friendly and attentive, a good place to stop in for dinner in Banff for a more reasonable price than some other options around town. read more
