10 Reviews on “Belmont Diner”
We came here on Sunday morning to try something different. The restaurant had a really cute vibe and I was quite optimistic. Had a look at the menu, and all the bennies on the menu are served on croissants – I can’t stand it when restaurants do this! This is a classic dish that you shouldn’t mess with – don’t think you’re being clever by serving it on a croissant or a piece of toast! Anyways, I asked to have my order on an english muffin, and I was told they don’t have any. When my benny came out, I was pretty disappointed that the hollandaise tasted like it came from a package. Not what I would expect for the price. 2 entrees and 2 orange juices came to $50, which I thought was on the high side for the quality. Most likely wouldn’t return.
Had a quick lunch today at the Belmont diner. The barnyard benny was suppose to be spicy, it was a bit on the lower side. Either that or I just eat too much spice. I would say it had some extra flavours and very different from the traditional bennys. Over all it was a great experience, I would try a different dish next time.
I don’t get what all the hype is about. People make this place sound like an ancient Calgarian institution, but the place was built in 2004. Food is greasy diner food, which is yumm, sometimes you need that, but it’s no different than Denny’s or any other diner.
I can’t believe they are adding 15% gratuity on TAKE OUT orders on the weekends. The reason is that they are busy on the weekends. Maybe I should just work their shifts too. The food is OK but I’m never going there again because of the shit service.I guess Belmont employees expect a tip whether they provided a service or not.
Located on 33 Avenue SW, as neighnborhoody a spot as any in Alberta, Belmont Diner has been charming locals since the year 2000, though much of the dcor and charm date back almost ninety years prior.Temporary closed by a fire in 2013, but since reopened and greeting regulars as well as new faces from 7a-3p on weekdays, and until four oclock on the weekend, those hoping to experience the family-run space without a wait are encouraged to arrive early, 7:25 on a cold Sunday finding just a dozen patrons present, four local Police Officers enjoying big plates of Eggs, Toast and Meat just a few feet from my counter seating.Staffed by just two so early, a young female server in a tuque assisting the grill man in an open kitchen, it was with conversation about the restaurant and local area that time was passed after selecting two plates, the menu a laminated two-side job with a focus on diner staples and the occasional clever idea here or there.Doing diligence in reviewing the menu prior to arrival, the clever pancake art undeniably a draw, it was with deference to the kitchen that an oblong shaped disc of golden Buttermilk Batter studded with Blueberries was presented, the idea immediately identifiable as R2-D2 and just as quickly devoured with a light smear of chilled Butter plus pure Maple Syrup added to taste.Given the option of Ham or Smoked Meat for the griddled Monte Cristo, unfortunately no deep-frying to be found, it was just as the Pancake was nearing completion that the Sandwich stacked with Cheddar and a Chicken Breast was served, the flavors good on their own and even better with seeded Raspberry Jam from Kraft, though the cubed Potatoes were unfortunately undercooked and thus left on the plate with stomach capacity saved for the days additional dining stops. endoedibles.com
Great reviews and great place unless you order the Belgian waffles.As we sit at the bar table we watch the Belgian waffles come frozen out of a box which we could have bought ourselves and made in a toaster at home.I love greasy spoon places for breakfast but the ones I’ve been can make waffles from scratch.Disappointing.
Best pancakes in the city! Their a little pricey at $4 a piece but they come with real maple syrup and whipped butter. It’s gets busy quick so I’d recommend going early. But so worth the trip to try them out.
