After going here a few times, I just don't find this location as solid as the one on 4th. The service is fine, not exceptional. The food is good, but one occasion came out a bit cold. It is a much larger space to manage so that could contribute. I like the vegetarian options though! read more

Service was disappointing. It was Sunday morning so very busy so maybe consider more staff. Our eggs benny were okay.

We eat breakfast here almost every time we stay in Calgary. It is definitely worth the wait. The staff are friendly and the food is great. There is a nice variety and they even have a tofu scramble which is a bonus! read more

When I go to a breakfast place, I order the basic breakfast because if you can't get something simple like that right, then I wouldn't trust the other dishes. I ordered the Red's Big Breakfast so I can try all the breakfast basics in 1 plate. It's a whopping $17.95, so I'm figuring it's going to be a damn good basic dish. Man, was I disappointed. The eggs were fine (though 1 of them had the yolk broken upon arrival), the bread (I got the cheese sourdough) was ok, but the potatoes had absolutely no seasoning and no crisp. It tasted like boiled potatoes. The bacon and sausages were nothing special - same old breakfast staples. And finally the pancake: it had a nice crisp on the outside, but damn was it dry inside. It felt like my mouth was sucked dry of its saliva every time I took a bite. Also, that syrup must have been corn syrup because it didn't taste like maple I grew up with in Eastern Canada. Other points I've noticed: The staff didn't bring out our dishes at the same time, my brother's dish was cold and my husband's Bennie had a broken egg so the yolk was already oozed out. The one thing Red's has going for it is the app to reserve your table online, but many places have this now. I think Red's needs to step up their game especially since Kensington has many places that does brunch. read more

Had the worst experience yesterday. Food and drinks were good but the service was a bit mortifying. Our server never once quality checked our food, my boyfriends coffee with baileys sat empty and was never asked if he'd like a refill after placing it to the edge of the table and lastly she dropped the cheque before we had finished eating and we had never asked for it (how awkardddddddd was that. And yes my bf wanted another drink but we weren't even given the opportunity). Couldn't have gotten out faster :( server was J Selvin (or something like that) and served us in the back section. read more

My favourite place in Calgary for brunch their Kensington eggs Benny is to die for and the staff and management are fantastic would highly recommend! read more

We've been going here regularly for a couple of years now and it is our go-to breakfast place. The service is friendly and quick. The food portion is more than generous and always tasty. I've been meaning to rate them for awhile now and this morning was a great opportunity as I was checking for wait time. Heading there soon! read more

The food was great and their service was awesome... only thing was we were sitting at the bar watching a kitchen staff member wipe their nose and then dish the food with his hands .. very huge turn off if your going to have an open kitchen to the public make sure your staff is aware people can see you... read more

Below average brunch experience. This place is not very good, went here a couple weeks ago with a friend for an early afternoon bite and was very disappointed. Pretty expensive for the food, which came out tasting like a child could've made it. Service was decent and it's in a cool spot but I am definitely not a fan of the food. read more

I am so impressed by the service and quality of this restaurant. I could have gone to any breakfast place in Calgary on Sunday, but nothings compares, in my opinion, to the exceptional service at Red's in Kensington. Each time I have gone to this restaurant for brunch, the hosts and servers are so gracious and do the best they can to assist me and other guests. Today for example, I only had to wait about 5 minutes even though there was a line up out the door. They did their best to accommodate everyone. I was also dining alone and they made me feel just as important as a table with a larger group. It felt as though I was in a small town diner where people know your first name and treat you like family. When I sat down, my server named Sam was so friendly and greeted me with a warm smile. As soon as I took my jacket off, she asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee and poured me a cup with all the fixings. I then ordered my meal and the food came out quickly and was delicious. Sam made sure my coffee was topped up, as I was warming up from the cold walk over. I commented on how much I liked the periodic table mug and she said if I liked it, she would pack it up for me to take home. I don't think something like that has ever happened in my life - that is beyond exceptional service! If you haven't been to Red's in Kensington, you must as the food is awesome and I don't think you will be treated as well anywhere else in the Calgary. Their strategic hiring of servers and staff has set the bar very high for all other restaurants in the city! read more

Breakfast was fine however I had the original which is 2 eggs a slice of toast bacon and hashbrowns for 15.95 I asked for no hashbrown and one pancake which they then charged me an additional 5.95 would I call this a 22.00 dollar eats...absolutely not!!! read more

Very expensive and a little underwhelming honestly. I really do like the custom cute mugs but the coffee in them is meh. The food is ok but not really worth the prices. read more

We brought a group of five to brunch. Waited for 19 groups to go before us (we were initially told that the wait would be 45 minutes), after an hour and ten minutes we were told it would be another half hour and they did not have any way to manage the situation. We ended up walking across the street to Vero Bistro who cleared a table for us in five minutes and delivered exceptional food and service. I do not recommend Reds Kensignton, they seemed rather lax on managing their rush hour and showed no effort to keep waiting customers happy. read more

Went to Red's on Sunday only because Yelp's ad said you join the line ahead of time. Looked up wait time joined the line in an appropriate time got to the restaurant, they had my name and told me 5 minutes at the same time a man walked up, had not booked on Yelp's line and he was told 45- 1 hours which matched the online estimate for wait. He got in before we did our 5 minutes turned into over an hour. The reception blamed it on Covid. Had we known, had they been honest we would never have agreed to wait an hour, but they just kept saying 5 minutes.The server was excellent and took our coffee off the bill the food was okay, but just okay. I will not ever use Yelp line up again and I will never go back to Red's in Kensington. I would have thought maybe a manager may have come to speak with us but that never happened showing that nothing will change for the better there anytime soon. HUGE disappointment with Reds in Kensington and Yelp line. read more

I went to this place today. The only thing that is awesome here is the decor! I ordered breakfast and they served it with a slice of half ROTTEN pineapple! I will never go back to Reds again! read more

Worst breakfast ever. Most expensive bacon and eggs in the city and one piece of bread for toast (had to send it back twice). The waiter scratched his balls. Need I say more? read more

Good service, good food. Although fire exit doors have table and chairs right in front of them. Owners more concerned about an extra buck than safety. read more

I've always loved Reds in Ramsay so after my raving about it forever my daughter, grandson and I went to Reds in Kensington. I was so disappointed. Our meals weren't served at the same time and our food was cold. The servers were very pleasant which is about the only thing that was good about the experience. read more

Waited over an hour an half to get in after being told 30 to 45 minute wait. This has happened every time we have went there, even with the app. We will not be back. read more

5 stars for Logan C, our server on April 14th! (Good Friday) it was busy but this guy was literally jogging around getting his job done! He always arrived at the perfect time with coffee and water refills! He offered recommendations and was very courteous at the time of billing to let us know about the auto grat! He's an asset to the business for sure. (Other servers I had there had an attitude or were very slow) read more

A group of us ate here for their all day breakfast and we all enjoyed our meals. The service was great, the portions were large. Three people ordered the Blueberry pancakes, 5 tried them and all of us agreed, they were delicious and would order them the next time. I had the Eggs Benedict Pacific along with another and we both really enjoyed them. The fruit on the side was a beautiful finish. Even the washroom was a pleasure to visit. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. read more

Went last month on a Saturday: ***3-Stars is because 1) the food was really great - not the best brunch in Calgary but a pretty yummy eggs benny and would go back for the food quality, 2) our server was really lovely - super attentive & made great suggestions... but 3) they lost two stars because the host at the front had us ahead of someone (as we had signed in on the app...) and then seated a different group BEHIND us first... which was disheartening as everything else here was great, sadly the host did not own up to her error either - would have been great for her even just to admit the mistake: forgivable, but acting like it wasn't her fault: frustrating. Lesson learned: CHECK IN with the host every 5 minutes while waiting to ensure they don't "accidentally" give your table to someone else as they will not admit wrongdoing sadly. :( Details: I checked in with the host upon arrival at 11:45am she says "There is one table of 2 ahead of you and they have offered to sit at the bar, then next is your party of 4" which was great as the app told us to be there for 11:45am, so we're guessing a few minutes at most. It was now noon and four people walk out of the restaurant, great we think our table is ready... she literally calls another group of four to come to the front and she would seat them... So as they walk up I quickly remind her she just told me that we were next, and she stammers realizing she made a mistake, and says "Oh don't worry the next one will be yours," so I respond "That's what you just told me 15 minutes ago" and she says "I'll be right back" and she seats the other party of 4 which. Upon returning she then showed me on her ipad that they were the table behind us and says "Oh I didn't know your party had already checked in" even though the app had a "tick mark" next to checked in by our name... and I had literally just spoken to her. She did not apologize, nor admit to her error. I understand everyone is human and we make mistakes for sure, but an apology and her admitting she made a mistake instead of saying she just "didn't realize it" would have absolutely made us feel better and understand even if she was new - instead nothing. We wound up getting THE NEXT table for four a little after 12:15pm... 30 minutes after we had checked in, and had already signed in on the app 60 minutes early to ensure we would get a table by noon to attend an afternoon matinee performance at the Jubilee. read more
