I love this breakfast/brunch spot!! I was visiting Calgary and this place is a great to spot by. They are a fusion restaurant and I definitely recommend getting their famous waffles and the loco moco! The staff here are also really sweet but the server that was taking care of our table was a little slow and wasn't as attentive but overall my friend and I really enjoyed the food and the restaurant was pretty spacious and clean! read more

Great service and family-friendly atmosphere, but the food fell short. It was our first time trying this spot as a family of four. The restaurant was quite busy, but the servers were notably quick, attentive, and welcoming, making it a very family-friendly environment. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the standard of the service.We ordered the Bro's Breakfast, which was heavily oversalted and consisted almost entirely of fat rather than actual meat. We also had Lola's Sandwich and the Chicken and Waffles, but both dishes failed to impress our family. While we loved the staff's energy, the kitchen needs a bit more consistency with flavor balance and ingredient quality. read more

The Bro'Kin Yolk - Bros breakfast was extremely salty and mostly fat (see photo). It came w 2 eggs as well. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Our friends recommended this place for breakfast/lunch. We went during a good time as it wasn't too busy and we got seated pretty quickly! But there is a wait list you can join as it does get quite busy quickly. The atmosphere was nice, servers were friendly and attentive. We ordered the chicken and waffle (with additional $2.50 boneless white meat) and the Cali Poutine. Unfortunately for us the chicken and waffle was a let down as it was pretty dry... but could be the batch for the day. But I have to say I love the Cali Poutine, the fresh arugula with the duck fat potatoes really works! The poached egg was done perfectly. I also ordered the featured smoothie for the day, which was a tropical smoothie (pretty refreshing). Would definitely come back and try other dishes! read more

We always come here on weekdays and never have to wait because they operate on a waitlist, which is a dead sexy way of doing things I wish more breakfast places would adopt. You phone (587) 317-5743, and they tell you how long the wait will be. Then, when there is a 15-minute window before your table is ready, they text you, and you come to the joint. The duck fat hashbrowns are a big draw and there are big fans of the egg bennies in our pack. The mini waffles are delectable and there are coloring pages for kiddies. I appreciate how they are open to substitutions (ie. avocado for sausage) and have friendly servers that keep the delicious coffee flowing. read more

Decided to stop to get brunch near the airport before our flight back home. For 2 of us, there was either spots at the bar immediately or a 20-30 min wait for an actual table. As we were on a time crunch, we opted for the bar seating but where they sat us was a little strange - it's like an added extension of the bar right but separated from the actual bar, adjacent to the hostess stand, and next to a bunch of kitchenware and what looked like staff's drink containers/bottles as if they just wanted to make use of as much space as possible. Snickerdoodle chai latte was not too overly sweet but the chai did overpower the snickerdoodle. My brother loved his Nutella hot chocolate. I opted for the hangry bowl with duck fat hash, chorizo, ham, bacon, soft poached eggs, salsa, & chipotle hollandaise. Boy was this heaaaavy - I was full for the rest of the day. The salsa and hollandaise really paired well with the saltiness of the rest of the bowl, made it so that you don't grow tired of it quickly. Bacon was a little bit on the chewier side and I wish the potatoes were a little more crispy but overall it was a delicious dish. My brother got the loco moco breakfast with jasmine rice, beef patty, onions, brown gravy, & sunny side up eggs which was done just right. We were in and out within 30 min and left with very satisfied stomachs. read more

Poor service - server was standing at the bar and had to be prompted by another server to take our order. I didn't like my food and left it uneaten. The server asked no questions about whether there was anything wrong, took the plate after asking if I had finished and left the meal on the bill. Would never come back. read more

We come here quite often as a family. It has a good number of brunch / breakfast options including vegetarian options. We had the Bennys , a chai / coffee as well as a side of the mini waffles DON'T forget the white chocolate lavender syrup for the waffles , it's the best ! read more

I love this place. Every time I come here it's super consistent with friendly servers, impeccable quality food and just overall atmosphere is welcoming. Any time I go through Calgary, I must eat here for breakfast and there's nothing new I haven't said before. Good quality is top notch, your coffee never stays empty. They even gave me one to go. There is just one small knock on this visit and that is the AC was cranked a bit too high for first thing in the morning. But now I'm just being picky... love them. read more

Service non existent. Didn't even have time to tell them the mac & cheese was warmish. If it wasn't for my daughter, wouldn't even waste my money here. I hate the level of noise, how they rush you on the weekends, and today wasn't even busy. I was thinking whether I needed to tip and then just thought, why, the servers didn't provide service, so no tip. These servers nowadays think they are entitled read more

Make sure to call the wait list! This place fills up fast but the service is quick and there are tons of servers around to help out with anything you need. Our drinks got plugged in wrong so we did have to wait a while for the third mimosa. However, our server was apologetic about it and they weren't overly sweet which we enjoyed. The best part of the open faced avocado sandwich had to be the pesto! Eggs were great and cooked to perfection! the seasonal fruit was excellent. The waffles are to die for! I thought they wouldn't be anything special. Luckily the manager gave us a sample as an appetizer and OMG DELICIOUS. It's packed, but you don't feel like you're eat on top of each other, but make sure to call ahead. Wheelchair friendly. read more

I wished that I have read those negative reviews about servers rushing people out from their tables before people can't even finished their food. Didn't get much attention or being asked about how the food was, but we were given full attention after 40 minutes. The servers were exceptionally rude for literally trying to take our unfinished plate out of our hands, and asking us repeatedly if we had finished our food, or if we needed as box to go. When I raised my concern, the server bluntly told us that they had a "seating time limit" and needed the table asap. I wish they had informed us beforehand that there was only a 60-minute time limit for a party of three. Regarding the food. The adobo was too salty and disappointing. The fried eggs were okay though. Paying good money for this and can't even relaxed for a weekend brunch. Avoid at all costs! read more

While in town, I decided to have breakfast at this place and it was such a great experience. I went during the weekdays so it wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. The service was great and the servers were very attentive, answering questions I had. Everything looked and sounded great on the menu, but I decided to go with the Cali Poutine, which was delicious! The eggs were perfectly poached and the hash browns had such a nice crisp on the outside and soft insides. I would definitely be back when I'm in town again! read more

Landed on a Thursday morning after a flight from YYZ and wanted to kick off our Banff trip with a good brunch so we headed over to The Bro'Kin Yolk. We had called from the airport to see about a waitlist and were told it would be maybe 20 min. wait which was perfect since it took us about that long to drive over there. We decided on the Bacon Benny ($18.99), Seoul-Wich ($18.99) and the Hold the Carb ($16.99), and a round of coffees! Service was very friendly and our orders came pretty quickly. Dishes were hot and fresh, especially loved the duck fat hash. This location is on the smaller side so not a lot of seating - expect a wait at peak times and weekends. But worth the wait! read more

3 of us had breakfast here today not one of us liked it.the waffles they made eggs Benny on where soggy and they put paprika on the eggs that realy made them awfully.not impressed read more

The food was SO good, specialty coffees are to die for! It's a bit loud, but the food & friendly service makes it worthwhile

Went to this treat Sunday morning. We tried to go Saturday but didn't get on the "wait-list" and was told it would be over an hour to get a table. Works better if you call an hour before you want to go and be "added to the waitlist" then they text you when your next (15min). large parking lot so no trouble there. Got seated immediately upon arrival and waiter was taking drink orders as we were taking off our coats. Coffee was nonstop and he came to top up the coffees almost every 10min. Great service. Food was delivered after a respectable amount of time and was nice and fresh. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Portions were great. The waffles were not quite as hot as I'd like but the toppings were absolutely amazing. The white chocolate and caramel were the best and definitely the ones I'd recommend. I added the chicken apple sausage for some protein. They were very good - not fatty and had great flavor. Much better than your non name brand breakfast sausage. The Truffle, Ham, Wild Mushroom poutine great. Good flavor, good portions, the duck fat hash was excellent, not greasy with a hint of extra flavor each bite. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Next time ill opt for 1/2 spinach instead of full hash. The Farmers Breakfast was Huge. Definitely enough for 2 people. Large slices of fresh bread with your choice of jam/jelly/peanut butter. Eggs were soft and fresh, bacon was better than expected and not just thin and fatty. 3 single person bathrooms but very very small as when you open the door you have to sneak by the sink and toilet to shut the door. Long wait times so they do rush you once you have paid - not a good place for killing time. Overall Wonderful service and food. read more

Everytime I eat here I leave happy. Not only is the food outstanding, my favourite is the truffle, ham and mushroom poutine, but the service is top notch. We were running late after getting a text our table was ready. They apologized to us that we would have to wait a bit. The food came out hot and fresh. Tasted fantastic. Coffee was frequently topped up. Thanks for being a great place to eat! read more

Their breakfast is always great. Service is great, nothing not to like. Atmosphere is great watch cooks making the food

Amazing food, service and value! The call ahead feature rather then reservations seems to work. It's a super busy place and a little loud. I wish it was a bigger place :) read more

Been coming here for years. Always liked the food but it's been going down hill gradually for years. Today was one that will make me never return. From the time we sat down to the time we were asked to leave was less than 35 minutes. Felt rushed all the while we were eating. Didn't refill coffees until asked. Kept badgering us to clear off the table. Once they did, they immediately came with the machine to pay. Once paid, we wanted another cup of coffee and was actually denied coffee and asked to vacate our seats! 35 minutes!! Brutal service! The need to put as many people through this restaurant trumps your dining experience...noted. Will take my business elsewhere. Letting my wallet do the talking. I've always heard people's complaints about this place, but never experienced it until today. read more

Adobo is good but they botched my reservation time. Wish they have better reservation system at hand

Service not as expected Called for lemon on tea few times and ignored Sad for some waitress attitude read more

Staff here are very friendly and welcoming. They've got a lovely place that is always kept clean and spotless. I like the individual bathrooms as well but they are a little small (to keep in mind for people who need a bigger one) and I am already quite a small person. Menu options are nice and my waitress was kind enough to let me change my order quite a bit which I really appreciated. read more

Phenomenal food. Great people. Amazing service. No matter what you choose, you will not be disappointed. The food is consistently good.

How do you screw up bacon? Eat here and you'll find out. Overpriced and bad, avoid, avoid, avoid

My friend and I stopped in for brunch on Saturday. It was only a 10-15min wait. I ordered the breakfast poutine with ham and mushrooms. I opted for the half spinach option (50/50 spinach and potatoes). It was delicious! read more

When I'm Calgary you MUST come here. Honestly it's been one of the best breakfast restaurants that I've ever been too. The service was great and I would recommend to go early so you beat the crowd. They don't take reservations, but you can go and put your name down in line. We sat by the bar since it would be faster to get a table. I had the bacon egg Benedicts and they were fabulous. They are over a fresh waffle and the combination is like an explosion of amazingness in your mouth. My boyfriend had the the truffle mushroom and ham hash and that was fantastic as well. We also saw that they were cooking some fried chicken and got a side order and it was so good I didn't want to share it lol. Must go and you won't be disappointed read more

Always love stopping in here for brunch. The food is always made excellent and the service is always friendly.

I have come here often since they opened in Symon's Valley. Wait times used to be really long but the have this service they can text you when you are 15 mins out. And you are able to put your name on the list without being present. No more waiting at the front door. Yay! We usually order the green smoothie, coffee, tea, and modified bennies. Service is really great here. Attentive service and food time is reasonable. Cute space. read more

Our family wanted to try something different, so here we were! One of the owners, Gil, explained their namesake: "Bro" for brothers with family (hence the "kin") and their breakfast specialties, eggs Benedict ("yolk"). I ordered the fried chicken and waffles and really enjoyed the crunchy coating and juiciness of the chicken. The white chicken gravy was a bit bland for my taste but I loved their sweet and spicy syrup. Our son ordered the truffle and wild mushroom poutine(and cleaned his plate) while hubby had the upstream Benny with smoked salmon. We will definitely be back! read more

Food is pretty good, but the front staff is just rude. We were on the wait list for an hour and they wouldn't seat us since one of our party went to Symons Valley by mistake. Then when we were drinking coffee and waiting for the late person to arrive, they were pushing us to order her food even though she wasn't there. Not all the tables were full. I don't understand why they push you out the door. Not the place to go to enjoy a meal unless you like to shovel it in. Won't be back. read more

They have dairy free and gluten free options. The food is absolutely Delicious! Best bacon I've ever had. Reminds me of the breakfasts my gran makes. Will be returning the next time I'm in Calgary. read more

Very tasty place. Amazing for celiac people who need gluten free. Service was good and the place was clean. Eggs Benny was amazing and even good GF. Avacado toast was great! I would check this place out! read more

Substandard food. Boring selections. They definitely have a long way to go to get close to places like Reds.

Best breakfast spot we've been to so far!! Food comes to the table fast. We love that it's an open kitchen so you can see how in sync the staff is together. Very causal atmosphere and the food was amazing. Extremely friendly staff, I got the feel that everyone was our waitstaff lol everyone jumps in to help one another. read more

Waited a long time to get a table, but very happy when we got to sit down and order. All of their food was really good we ordered a range of open faced sandwiches, poutines, and bennys. All were fresh and tasty! Highly recommend! The only negative is the wait time, but next time we go to Calgary we will come back! read more

not bad id go back but i would simply just get anything that doesn't have waffles, they were honestly the worst bit. potatoes, not bad, meat was excellent. Waffles were basically generic hotel waffles and they let them just sit there so they basically come to you rock hard and fucking disgusting. All i do is go to hotels for work and so I've had a hell of a lot of waffles from those machines, these are VERY similar, if not identical in the mixture. It wouldn't be as bad if they went right out of the machine to the plate while still warm but they leave them sitting out in the open!!! Also a benny should never be served on a waffle the hollandaise just seeps through to the cracks and sits in the bottom in the squares. so yeah... id for sure go again but never again waffles, they need to loose them or at least not make them like a hampton by hilton...... i see what they are trying to do but it doesn't work. read more

I just don't get the huge rave about this place. Its just okay. The food quality has gotten better, but its still overpriced for the quality. My favorite thing to be honest is the beet and arugula salad, but the portion is so small! I get alot of people like it because of the locations, theyre in places outside of city center/DT so it makes it convenient for some, but I just think there are much better brunch places in YYC. I am happy though that a local restaurant is doing so well and they now have three locations. Obviously theyre still doing well because theyre so busy, but I think they could make their portions bigger/ give more variety (ex. when you order the chicken and waffle - maybe they could give you a side of potatoes or fruit). read more

This place is really out of the way for me and far north, but definitely worth stopping by if you are ever in the area!! No resos allowed, but they do have a waiting in line system where you would call ahead and give your name and number and they would text you when your table is ready. Perfect if you need to get a couple of errands done before hand. I highly suggest you call 1.5hr in advance when you actually wanna come if you're coming in on a weekend, the place is pretty popular. My friend and I came in on a holiday so it was BUSY. We had to wait a little longer for a table once we got in, but the seating staff were super friendly and apologized for the business. The place itself is small, but super charming, emphasizing on the whole 'farm to table' vibe. There's also an open concept kitchen which I like. We eventually got seated and decided on drinks and got mini waffles to start. I got a green smoothie (omit honey) and while it was a little watered down, it was good. My girlfriend got a lavender latte and I really liked it, pretty floral tasting. Our mini waffles came and we each got different sauces to try. I got nutella and she got white chocolate lavender. The waffles themselves were a little on the firmer side, but still pretty tasty. I really enjoyed my nutella and you can definitely taste the white chocolate and lavender in the other, it also tasted much sweeter. For mains, I was stuck between the short rib hash and the chicken and waffles. The server said that they were both super popular, but suggested I go with the waffles. Damn, was she ever right! Holy hell were those some AMAZING chicken and waffles!! It came with this amazing sweet and spicy syrup as well as white chicken gravy. Delicious delicious delicious!! As much as I want to try the short rib hash next time, I think I'm stuck with this god sent meal. My girlfriend got the breakfast poutine with bacon and damn those were some amazing duck fat hash browns! Seriously anything in duck fat is incredible. So happy I finally got to try this place out, it really held up to my expectations. Service, atmosphere and overall quality were top notch and I found the prices to also be pretty reasonable. Will definitely come back when I can. read more
