Red's Diner Fourth Street — Restaurant in Calgary

We went here around 930am for breakfast on a Wednesday for breakfast and were able to walk in, get a table, without a wait. I could imagine this place being busy at different times though and there it is a small diner, could potentially mean a wait. We were lucky to get a table, with ease... probably because it was a weekday.

I got the buckwheat blueberry pancakes - they were delicious! The size of them was good enough for more than one person, I split them with my sister and still wasn't able to finish. Also, got a side of sausage, which was yummy. They give you butter and a pot of syrup, enough for the pancakes. The pancakes were a bit more on the granier side, probably because they were made with buckwheat, but I really liked them.

My sister got the breakfast sandwich on marble bread, with potatoes. We both split that as well. I thought the potato's were a bit on the soft side, I like them a bit crispier. They were well seasoned, nonetheless. The sandwich was good, a bit on the small side but again, I'm not a big portion eater, we didn't mind.

The dinner was clean, and had a nice atmosphere. Staff were great, they really made us feel welcomed, especially since we had a baby and a stroller to bring in, gave us a spot near the back, so we could keep our stroller out. There is a bit of a step to get up, which can be an issue with accessibility. That would be my only concern (I'm from Ontario - accessible buildings is something we are big on). There should be an accessibility door or a ramp, but I found alot of places in downtown Calgary doesn't have this.

Overall, good stop for breakfast! They do also have a lunch menu, which I would check out. I think they close for 4pm, so no...

Such a great experience at this location. We usually have gone to the Ramsay location but the wait time was a bit long for us so we popped into this location on 4th. I had the Benny with bacon, arugula and balsamic glaze. Sooo good! My hubby had the chorizo hash and he quite enjoyed it. I also ordered the ham/ corn chowder and I was in my happy place. The flavour of the soup base was creamy yet not salty and brought a comfort that I can’t explain. It was an experience as awaited my breakfast. Our server was Hayley and she was over the top amazing! We will definitely be back🤤 Sorry I gobbled everything up before taking pictures🤷🏽‍♀️

Okay we went back for lunch and the burgers we ordered were made to perfection! We asked for the burgers to be cooked but not overdone done staying within the health guidelines and the kitchen did and amazing job. Juicy and delicious! With my bacon jam and Brie burger I had a bowl of beef barley soup. My hubby had mushroom Swiss burger with salad and citrus vinegarette on the side. Our bellies were singing with joy after this meal!

shout out to Emily front end manager and our server for this visit. Great...
