Edmonton Hidden Gem #17: Highlevel Diner
📍 Address: 10912 88 Ave NW, Edmonton 🕰️ Vibe: Step into a time capsule of 1980s North America—unassuming exterior, retro decor, and hearty comfort food that feels like a warm hug. 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes 🥚 Classic Benedict ($16.5) "The gold standard of brunch!" Toasted English muffin + crispy bacon + perfectly runny poached eggs drowned in velvety hollandaise. One poke unleashes a golden yolk waterfall—worth every calorie. 🍞 Cinnamon Buns ($5 + $2 for extras) "Cinnamon lovers, bow down!" Pillowy-soft dough swirled with warm cinnamon, best upgraded with caramel drizzle or cream cheese frosting. 🍖 Alberta Short Ribs ($24) "Fall-off-the-bone tender" ribs with a sweet-savory glaze, paired with creamy mash and seasonal veggies. (Note: Not your Chinese-style braised ribs—embrace the Americana twist!) 💰 Why It’s a Steal Rarely over $20—feast without guilt! All-day dining: Brunch, snacks, or dinner—they’ve got you covered. ⚠️ Pro Tips Easy to miss! Look for the unassuming storefront near the University of Alberta. Portions are huge—come hungry or share. #EdmontonEats #HiddenGem #ComfortFood
