A few years ago the southbound Gasoline Alley Husky station was massively renovated, and the…read morehighlight on most trips from Edmonton to Calgary is the bathrooms: big, open, clean. The gas station side has lots of everything you'd expect in a convenience store: from fresh bananas to Cheesies, motor oil to a bank machine, etc. The Smitty's at this location has massive windows, booths that seat 6, a Sunday buffet, and the typical Smittys giant portions, quick service, and decent coffee. I opted for the garden skillet, which has lots of potatoes, eggs and cheese, and enough broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions to make it seem moderately healthy (at 700 calories and 1000 mg of sodium, well, it could be worse). Our group also had the traditionally awesome pancakes (you can buy the pancake mix) and a steak (which was okay).

Easy to pop into from the highway 2 and since it's part of a strip mall area there was plenty of parking nearby. We were seated right away, the space is quite large and bright. Very sunny vibes. The single person bathrooms are nice but there are only 3 of them I think. I right away was eager to try their fancy coffee - in particular the caramel tiramisu latte (topped with caramel drizzle, whipped cream and cinnamon sprinkle ($5.99) but this drink was a bit of a let down in my opinion. Over the top sweet and since it's served in a glass cup it doesn't retain its heat, gets cold fast, and is actually kind of small. I get that it's a latte but the sheer sweetness makes me wonder is there any coffee in it? Okay I've given you the worst part the food was not disappointing! We ordered the Hot honey chicken Benedict ($19.99) and this was divine! The spicy and sweet combo was excellent and I loved that it got on the Hashbrowns too! Good serving size and eggs were perfect. We also had to order some pancakes and asked for the most popular, which was the signature stacks Cinnabon cakes ($15.99). These were huge and terribly delightful! Fluffy and the sauce combination of cream cheese icing and whip and icing sugar- wowzers! Very good and a reason it's a popular choice. We also got a kids pancakes ($8.49) and added a side of sausage ($2.49). Overall a nice spot for a spot of breakfast.

She never brought a kids' menu, disappeared for long stretches, and ignored our repeated requests for water--it finally showed up right before we left. Even when we asked other servers, we were met with, "I'm busy, you'll have to wait," rather than any willingness to help. When we politely asked Kya about her attitude, her only reply was, "Do you want the manager?" The rudeness and lack of care from beginning to end ruined what should have been a pleasant, celebratory morning. We won't be back.

My omelette was missing half it's ingredients, and NO cheese. And don't get me started on the can mushrooms! Gross! The waitress took my omelette back to get remade and OMG when she brought it back, it was the same torn open omelette (from me looking for the cheese) with some cold onions inside with a tiny bit of shredded cheese, and then thrown back together. It's wasn't even warmed up or melted. I was like no, that's so not right. Our waitress was very apologetic and looked so embarrassed. So she had them remake my omelette. It was very evident that the exact same inside of my first omelette was put into the new omelette egg. Even the small amount of cheese. It wasn't even a 1/4 of the cheese that was in my hubby's omelette. The waitress saw what the cooks had given me again and she felt SO bad. Offer to have it made again. I said no, I dont trust them back there, and I'll skip it. The brunch buffet is a joke. Butterchicken made with campbell's tomatoe soup. Chicken bites over cooked and hard. Rice dry and hard. Eggs Benny looked decent. But don't count to much on the buffet if you dont eat pork, because almost everything has pork/bacon ect. Also many of the desserts were still frozen. Maybe these days you shouldn't expect much for $26? But man, you should at least be able to get a decent omelet! Walked out still hungry!

This part of town gets a bad reputation, but the locals who have been going here for years don't…read moreseem to care. Albert's it's a small chain based out of Edmonton, and this is their Red Deer spot. It's in an older strip mall with a bunch of other local-ish businesses - a pub (Murph's, which is connected to Albert's), a hair salon, liquor store, used book store, bowling alley, and Co-op, to name a few. It's an older restaurant that could use some renovations, and it's a bit dark and dingy, although it's just a part of the place's character. The staff that works here are like fixtures. I think I've seen or been waited on by the same server every time I've been in here. They know all of the regular customers by name (and a few by what they order), and they all have their own little quirks. You're probably going to be called honey, sweety, or darling at least once during your meal, so you should be okay with these little informalities, sugar. I like a place that makes a point of keeping your coffee filled up, and this one does it well. You're unlikely to run dry on coffee until you tell them you don't need any more - and if you do run out, you'll get a refill as soon as you see the next waitress walk by. The food here isn't anything exceptional, but it's your typical breakfast/diner food, so it's comfortable and familiar. I recommend grabbing the potato pancakes as a side if you're getting breakfast food- they're as close as you're going to get to homemade latkes, without the wait for the festive season. The food is also usually really quick to come out, and if there are any problems with your meal, they'll make it right as soon as they can. I had some eggs in an omelette come out a bit softer than I'd like, and I had fresh ones in front of me in less than 5 minutes, and the waitress knocked a few bucks off of the bill without my asking. Even if she hadn't, the prices here are low enough that you don't mind an imperfect meal. Overall, this place is becoming a go-to because of the staff and the service. I make sure to tip well every time, because these are the type of people that make you smile and start your day off right. 3 stars for the food, but 2 more stars because I leave there every time talking about how great the staff is.
