We decided to enjoy breakfast here on Wednesday morning . The waitress was very friendly and brought a carafe of hot coffee and water . The breakfast came hot and we shared the Phil's Traditional Mixed Grill which came with 2 eggs , bacon slices , sausages and a slice of ham . The 2 sides we picked for it was pancakes & shredded hash browns . My husband loves pancakes and the 3 large ones served was great . It's nice to have the carafe of coffee and not have to wait for a waitress to refill . It was a nice breakfast and service was great here . read more

This is definitely the best Phil's location in Calgary. My better half and I visit fairly regularly. Last time we both ordered the same 3 egg build your own omelette with Spinach, tomatoes, Monterrey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese with a side of shredded potato hash browns . I had a side of crisp bacon. The server was very friendly and professional, the food well cooked and nicely presented. Our coffee was good too. My critique is: this place needs an update to deserve that extra star. Same applies for the parking outside that is often times dirty. read more

Great food as always. Service par excellence. The ambiance is the usual for a Phil''s. read more

Great coffee and staff is very friendly!! Lots of seating (with privacy). Good selection of pastries.

We brought in 15 people here and all the staff were really nice to us, and all the food came at a speedy time, it feels like a diner in the 80s, definitely recommend and I will come back read more

Phil's is exactly as the rating says: it's "A-OK". If you're looking to take your family out to get some decent breakfast in a retro environment, go to Phil's. If you're looking for really good food or a trendy location, I'd recommend probably looking somewhere else. But, like I said, everything was still good. This most recent visit, we were sat in the dining area on the right, which I much prefer to the larger, seemingly more outdated dining area on the left because I find that sound travels extremely well and, as Phil's is VERY family friendly, it can get quite loud with all of the children around. We got very good, friendly, and brisk service which, although it was nice to have, wasn't anything extraordinary. I tried the chicken and waffle and it ended up being extremely filling but not overly satisfying, and the gravy wasn't very well spread either: in some areas, it had made everything quite soggy whilst in others, everything was bone dry. The coffee was also good but not spectacular and overall, I was a bit disappointed by the food this time around, as it wasn't as good as the last time that I came in, even though it wasn't overly great, to begin with. Luckily, the friendly and homey feel of Phil's, as well as the good service that I received, made it so that the overall experience was still a positive one. read more

Sometimes all you want is a greasy spoon with good service. And this is definitely the place. Just being in the retro setting and being greeted by overly cheery (somehow) staff in the early hours of the morning is a hangover cure on its own. I am always impressed when I can get amazing service at horrendous times of the day. Critically, our server kept the coffee coming the entire time. I had the chorizo eggs benedict. I'll admit that the sausage patty was a little odd. This was my first time trying their famous "chubbies". Maybe they aren't for me, but to be honest they did the trick, and I can't complain for the price ($10). It included two perfectly cooked poached eggs, awesome shredded hashbrowns, sauteed peppers and onions, and obviously two chorizo chubbies on english muffings. A ton of food, really. Here we have a local staple offering well priced greasy breakfast food with amazing service. Can't go wrong if you're out for a hearty, massive breakfast after a long night. read more

Food Quality: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Kitchen Speed: 4/5 Parking: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Phils are very hit and miss across the city. Fortunately, this location seems to be the best. The food is consistent as is the service. Its a diner style restaurant so set your expectations accordingly. Its ultra family friendly so there are lots of kids, grandparents, and friends here all the time. If you go on a weekend for breakfast, go early or be prepared to wait. read more

Of all the Phil's locations I've been to in Calgary, this has probably been the most consistent one. The food is generally delicious, the service good and lines not too bad (however, I usually make my way down for brunch as opposed to breakfast). Love that they leave the pitcher of coffee on your table (as do all locations). A great place to go for a classic breakfast. Making me think that perhaps I should actually visit a Phil's for lunch/dinner sometime, though! read more

Phil's is classic Calgary. Been around serving old fashioned diner breakfast forever. They're most famous for their 'chubbies', little medallions of goodness, which are perfect for breakfast. read more

Not sure why all the love for this place. The place was dead when we arrived, with only one other table of customers. The decor consists of booths and tables that look like they are circa 1970. The containers of sugar etc. sitting on the table were dented, mismatched and grimy looking. Because of how empty the restaurant was we felt that the safest thing to choose would be a breakfast since it is served all day and it would have to be made to order. It might have been safe from the food poisoning perspective but it was pretty horrible. My scrambled eggs were brown, oily and shredded into super small pieces. The buttermilk pancakes were totally doughy and served with 3 very thin, chemically tasting flavoured syrups and my sausage were these 5 silver dollar sized greasy, chewy nougats. But for the very pleasant and efficient server this would have been a one star for sure. Eat here at your own peril. read more

We had breakfast on a Saturday with a group of friends who seem to enjoy it. I have not eaten at a diner stole place in a while, but honestly did not like their food. I didn't like their pancakes or eggs Benedict. Their hollandaise was all won't from consistency to even colour. Will not be back. read more

The place was very dated but extremely clean ( seats, vents, windows ) so they do take care of the place. The booths were very comfortable! I got eggs ranchero ( flour base, refried beans, 2 eggs and sauce with hasbrowns ) it was cooked perfectly and tastes very good. My husband got corn beef hash with a side of sausage and his main meal was delicious but his side of sausage wasn't what he expected and we didn't eat it. All in all I would recommend this restaurant for a good wholesome breakfast. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant, and I must say that my food was delicious! The Pepsi was flat, otherwise I would've given 5 stars. I love that they serve breakfast all day, that's a major plus for me! I will definitely come here again! read more

Our favorite breakfast place. Just the basics, but all done were well. The pancakes were great and the over easy eggs and hash Browns were perfect. the service was friendly and good. Nothing fancy but well done and well priced. read more

Ok, I really really don't understand the line ups and the hype. Why is there always a massive line up on sundays. I admit it, their service is top notch with experienced waitresses that have probably been there for decades and really know how to treat their customers attended to. Coffee is decent. But decor is just dated and ancient from the 70s. The breakfasts aren't really any more special than most greasy spoons. And I find they're actually pretty stingy on the meat (the sausage medallions for example are basically barely quarter sized cross cut slices of normal breakfast sausages). I'm mixed. I'll go there as it's a great place to go as a family or with friends(love the great selection of syrups for pancakes, and their corned beef hash is actually quite good). But honestly, it's not even in my top 10 when someone asks me for a breakfast recommendation unless it's pretty close by. PS: when I mentioned the corned beef hash, this is a trick question. When the corned beef hash is listed as a special of the day, THAT's the one to order. If it's NOT the special of the day, and ordered a la carte, it is honestly done in a completely different unappealing way. Keep in mind! read more

Nothing wrong, but nothing spectacular either... Everything during our brunch experience was OK, but nothing that I would want to go back for. the place is big, so it's good for large crowds however it gets crowded around 11 or afterwards for brunch, so be early if you can. Note: The address shows up 1 block to the west on the map, and it's a bit confusing if you rely on the GPS... don't get lost ! read more

I used to go to Phil's all the time with my grandparents, and I have to say it hasn't changed a bit since I used to go there many years ago. Great service, and tasty breakfast. read more

Honestly my favorite breakfast place in town. Love their service, so accommodating! Their pancakes are the best!

This Phil's is a favourite when we have the child for the week as there is a good range of breakfast and non-breakfast items for the whole family to choose from. The decor is pretty dated and could use an upgrade but the location is generally clean and well looked after. The service has been consistently good from visit to visit and the food quality has been good as well. We've been here for lunch, dinner and breakfast and the experience has always been good when the place is packed or empty. There are a lot of seniors that go there, especially for dinner which usually is a good indication of decent food and good value for money. The location is accessible to with a fair amount of parking. Tip: If the lot is full, its a good sign the restaurant is full too, so you might have to wait a bit. But it will be worth the wait. read more

Okay so the one I actually went to was in Banff, but rather than "Yelp" about that specific one, methinks (as a Calgarian) it would be best to cover all the Alberta Phil's locations in general... When in Banff, I looked at the menu and everything looked neat, but I had food poisoning from another source that morning and my appetite wasn't up to par. However, I wouldn't mind trying another location of Phil's sometime in Calgary because they are family-friendly, with an upbeat atmosphere, adept waitresses and very reasonable prices. I just loooove a place that doesn't cut off the breakfast supply after 11am :) read more

I went to Phil's for lunch one weekend when visiting a friend in Calgary. I was told it was a hidden gem in Calgary. I hoped their food was better than their decor, but was a little disappointed. I had a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. It was good, but there wasn't enough strawberries and whipped cream to spread around the whole waffle. I was, however, very impressed with the coffee. All Day Breakfast places (like Denny's and IHOP) usually have terrible coffee, but Phil's had great coffee. Unfortunately, the coffee was really the only good thing I can say about my one experience at Phil's. read more

It is what it is and for that I give it 5 stars. If you want something other than a breakfast diner experience go elsewhere. Good value, hot fresh food, a full thermos of coffer and quick courteous service what else could one want for $17. I'll be back! read more

Well went to phils for supper ordered the meatloaf hmmmm never had meatloaf that was round and hard . This was a very disappointing supper the service was poor and I will never eat here again it was Glenmore trail read more

Great breakfast restaurant. Had chorizo eggs Benny was so delish! Just your typical chain restaurant that's always busy and has a decent breakfast! read more

Whoever said this is the crappiest breakfast place is insane. My husband has come to Phil's since he was a kid, moved to Ontario and come here every time he's back. First place he took me when we came to Calgary. First place we went when we moved back to Calgary. We love this place. Great strong coffee. He loves the traditional mixed grill. I love the stuffed French toast and omelets. You need to have to shredded has browns not the chunky. The service is always friendly, the place is always packed and the food is always awesome. You coffee cup will never be cold or empty because you have a carafe. They do the same for tropicana oj too. This place is the best in Calgary, London, Windsor, Toronto and Barrie. read more

This used to be my family's favourite breakfast restaurant, before the prices went up. (I mean, who wants to pay around $9 for over easy eggs?) Besides the prices, the food is great. I normally order sausage links, eggs, bacon, ham and toast, which, if I remember is called the "Traditional Breakfast". The staff is friendly but, speed of service could improve. This is a great restaurant, if you don't mind the price. read more

I went with my wife today to Phil's telling her how great it had been. We were certainly in for a surprise this place is known for its breakfast of course and when we ordered coffee they didn't have any they told us all will make up a pot right away. Then my wife decided to order a Monte Cristo with shredded hash browns. My wife was then informed that they were out of shredded hash browns but she was offered potatoes instead. My thought was hey yeah get the potato have them shredded up and give her some shredded hash browns oh no that would have been too hard that would have been too much work no Whole 30 seconds to make a customer's shredded hash browns okay I can let it slide. She also ordered the Monte Cristo with no ham. The waitress came back from the kitchen and informed us that they could not make the Monte Cristo without ham because they were pre-made. Pre-made Monte Cristo's? Really don't you make a Monte Cristo with eggs as I remember so they're just sitting around after they've been coded and battered and waiting for you to order them so they can throw them in the microwave or something. So let me get this straight we came in there ordered coffee which there was none made they could not make hash browns shredded and they refused to make a Monte Cristo without ham because they're pre-made. Well guess what we did we went somewhere else. If you can't make the food fresh or at least try and satisfy the customer in some way then maybe you should close the doors. Not once in all of this did a manager come out and see us at all especially over the Monte Cristo we voted with her dollars we took them somewhere else and I will make sure that I tell everybody on social media of our experience thanks for nothing Phil"s... go to hell read more

A classic favorite! Great breakfast! Friendly service, lots of free parking and tables.

We were the only two in the resteraunt, so I was a bit worried. The decor is straight out of the early 80s, but the food was amazing.

Consistent quality for decades. It is not fine dining but it is a good diner/breakfast restaurant that delivers every time. If you have been here before then it is still the same. read more

Had dinner there a couple of weeks ago, their ventilation system must have been plugged as the reek of grease permeated our lungs, clothing, etc. Our server was excellent but I can't imagine how she worked in that for an entire shift. Had a Spanish omelet and the only thing Spanish about it was the onions & peppers, USE SALSA, NOT PASTA SAUCE! Pretty sad when even Denny's makes you look bad! read more

Love this Phil's! The breakfast food rocks, the atmosphere is welcoming and the updated upholstery is lovely. But I have to say that I am disappointed in the style of the new menus; far too bulky! This is my definite early morning weekend hangout spot! Cheers! read more

This is one restaurant I find is always consistently great food and staff is more than friendly. The parking is sufficient but you better get a spot early because it's packed everyday right at about lunchtime. The chocolate chip pancakes are amazing there and they also have potato pancakes with sour cream and apple sauce that will knock your socks off. Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant and have several times to anyone who is looking for a delicious meal at a reasonable price. read more

A truly awful dining experience. Came for dinner. Service was so slow it took almost 2 hours from start to finish. One person in the group ordered decaf coffee. It was so weak she called it "brown water" and sent it back. I ordered Pepsi and got diet. Sent it back. My wife had potato pancakes. She said they were the worst she's ever eaten. Her beef chubbys were so shriveled and overcooked they looked like meatballs. My ranchero was tasty, but I ordered medium poached eggs, and they were so far beyond hard they almost crumbled into dust when I cut them. Given that it took more than half an hour from when we ordered to get food the first time, I didn't dare send it back. All in all, one of the worst meals I've experienced in Calgary in the past year. read more

Best omelet in Calgary! This coming from quite possibly the pickiest eater alive. I also here that the sunny side up eggs are to die for. All entrees that I have eaten here could very well be menu picture worthy! Hope this helps read more

It's not often that I give a review on a restaurant but the Phil's location on Glenmore Trail is my favourite breakfast restaurant and warrants a great review. I've been going to this location and others for 30+ years now and have known some of the waitresses that have worked there over the years. I know that the staff there have always done their best job serving customers. They have always been fast, friendly, efficient and helpful. The food has always tasted very good and is prepared well. Phil's has always had the reputation of preparing their dishes with a down home taste. It stands to reason why this location is always very busy. Their claim to fame has always been their pancakes, pork and beef chubbies and eggs anyway you like them. The coffee is always fresh and served to you in your own coffee thermos so you don't run out. I was told by the waitresses that Phil's was the first breakfast restaurant in Calgary and Phil himself cooked meals at the first restaurant at the 14th st. location for a time. I go the Glenmore location a few times each month, sit and relax with a good paper and enjoy a good breakfast to start the day. Phil's is a restaurant worth going to. I hope they stay around for many more years to come. read more
