What a nice quiet place to have breakfast! Staff were extra friendly and breakfast was good!

This breakfast spot used to be awesome but has gone down hill. I think they re-use the potatoes. So many better places to go!

Real homemade everything. Eggs are rich with very orange yolks. Delicious poutine with amazing gravy. Cozy diner atmosphere is great for meeting friends for brunch. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Great for breakfast, brunch and brinner. Quality food worth waiting for, and spending a little extra on. 7/10 read more

Had a girlfriend come in from out of town so we wanted somewhere comfortable within walking distance and breakfast food was the choice. So off to Red's we went. They serve a spicy ceaser and it's great. Too hot for my friend so I drank hers too. My friend had the bacon and eggs something and I had the eggs and bacon thing but with PANCAKES!!! If I never eat pancakes from anywhere else again it will be ok. I can die knowing I've had Red's pancakes. I can't tell you that a ceaser and pancakes is everyone's best breakfast but it was mine and it was amazing. The waitress was great, friendly but not trying to make a new friend which is nice and we seated ourselves at the bar but soon moved to a great little window booth which was way better. All in all it was amaze-balls read more

What an absolute joke. Due to health reasons I cannot eat potatoes and they absolutely refused to accommodate my request to substitute the reds potatoes to anything else. Even if I agreed to pay the price difference between the items. I never thought I would come across such terrible service. read more

Do not waste your time on this location. My fiance and I decided to go here so we went inside and nowhere to be found was a waitress. It was packed but no line up so we sat at an open booth. (No signs stating we had to wait to be seated) Immediately, a waitress came over and rudely told us that "we cannot just sit ourselves". She then told us there was an hour wait. I was so horrified at the service that we walked out and will never return. I will take Nellies any day over this waste of time. read more

Love the 4th st. Benedict. Everything else is O.K. Staff and service is good. I like that they serve liquor in the a.m. - nothing like a Caesar to start the day! Don't go during the usual brunch busy times though. read more

The food is so great here, I wish they had more room so I'm not always waiting for a table.

Food was good but the wait for over and hour to get in and then 45 minutes to get our food was too long. If you are told that the wait will be 30 minutes over an hour is too excessive. Very unorganized service never came back to ask if we wished for coffee refills we had to ask. The music was too loud for a restaurant i would expect it at a similar level for a pub not for a relaxing breakfast. read more

Red's Diner has super potential. The newly renovated building and the location have that urban city beat ambiance that you can't find many other places. That's about all I can say on the positive side. I visited Red's for brunch around 1:10 PM on holiday Monday (May 24, 2010). I would have found the 55 minute wait for the food acceptable had the quality been there; but alas it was substandard. The soggy waffles at $9.50 and the meagre bowl of quinoa at about the same price left me wondering how such a nice place could score so low on food quality. The burgers came with stale store bought buns that betrayed the lack of attention this place obviously has to how it presents itself after you walk in. Sorry, but the bottomless coffee (which was actually not bad) didn't make up for the sluggish service and lack of quality in the food. No value here. read more

We went to Red's for brunch this morning and really enjoyed it! The staff was friendly and quick to seat us. Our coffees were hot and both the blueberry buckwheat pancakes and the daily special, egg tostadas were delicious. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, it was obvious that the staff knew lots of the regular customers. I think we'll be back soon, the food was awesome although only four stars since it was somewhat pricey. read more

Red's is one of my favorite restaurants in Calgary. I have, on several occasions dragged my friends to this place On mornings after late nights out. This diner has good coffee served hot with free refills which is perfect because I love to hug a hot mug of goodness while waiting for my breakfast. Red's serves good old fashioned Canadian comfort food, and I love it. I usually order the classic breakfast with two eggs, sausage, toast and hash browns. It's a huge plate with all the fixings and all for a decent price. One day, during a lovely breakfast date with my bf I discovered half of an egg shell in my scrambled eggs. I could have been a dick about it and complained but I have been there a bunch of times and knew it was a fluke. I removed the shell and continued to enjoy the feast in front of me. After we were done the server got our plates. We were waiting for the bill when the server came and said "was that huge shell in your eggs?" I told her that it wasn't a big deal but she said that she knows I come there a lot so she didn't charge us! This blew me away! I wasn't even mad, I didn't ask for it at all! Obviously we left a huge tip and I go back all the time. If you're worried about waiting to get in, you can download the Nowait app and get in line on your way there :) problem solved. Besides this place is worth the forethought and the wait ( if you don't have the app). read more

Vegan Tofu Scramble is the only Vegan option they have for breakfast, which is nice but nothing to write home about. Can't eat the potatoes as they are cooked in butter. Disappointing. read more

had a wonderful breakfast this morning. was my first visit after being by many times. was greeted promptly and had a water and coffee within seconds of sitting down. my hostess Kaileigh was excellent as we're the other friendly staff. the menu all looked great and had to narrow it down to a few choices. I will be back to try the rest. read more

Red's On 4th - chorizo hash and eggs. will be back for more. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Went for breakfast which wasn't great to be honest . Steak was undercooked & tasteless and took ages to come . Refill of coffee took almost as long . maybe I'm being too harsh but it wasn't even busy! The other reds location is much better. Breakfast for 2 = $50. There's no value here in my eyes. read more

One of my favourite breakfast places for sure. Love the food and the staff, coffee is great too!

As someone born and raised in Montreal; I came here for the poutine and it is by FAR th most authentic I've had in Calgary.

So.... Average! Not sure what all the fuss is about - not bad, but not worth waiting in line for! Large portion sizes, but relatively bland food. read more

You have to be prepared to wait for a table, which is fine, but sometimes the wait for the food is a little too long. Nice staff, big portions and great food. One of the best places in Calgary for brunch! read more

Delicious breakfast with great staff! They have an interesting policy not to seat your group until your entire group has arrived, but we were able to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy some sunshine while we waited. I tried the southwestern omelette and was very happy with my meal. The staff were friendly and our meals were brought out fairly fast. Would definitely try this spot again! read more

A good, if a bit pricey, breakfast place. Meal was filling and came fast and was good all around. Staff were very helpful with a couple extra requests. It is more than I would normally pay for a breakfast, but given food quality and the business's location I'm more than okay with that as an every once in a while thing. read more

This is a pretty great brunch place- definitely part of my top 5 favourite brunch places in Calgary. I've never had a bad meal here.

We had the best breakfast here that we've had in Calgary (moved here last year - that's a long time to find a decent breakfast joint). Coffee while you wait, helpful / attentive servers, and well prepared meal (though Ryan's right - they need to work on the potatoes). read more

Re-reviewing Red's on 4th after a dismal vegan experience. Management advised me to order the oatmeal next time. So we took their advice today. Said oatmeal arrived is made with butter and floating in cow milk, with a side of buttered toast. Absolutely not a vegan option. So scrambled tofu is your only vegan option at Red's and given the recommendation from management to try the oatmeal, I would not trust the tofu is vegan. Thanks but no thanks. We won't be back. read more

Good service and good food. There is often a wait and tables are quite small. If you don't mind being a little cramped, it's a great place for brunch. read more
