Blue Vinny Diner

Come cross this unique diner while visiting Calgary this April. Right on stephan Ave, I came cross this diner one morning and decide to go in for a quick breakfast The service was very friendly, and the interior of the diner is cozy and relaxing. I ordered a blueberry pancake and the taste was exceptional. I have to say it's one of the best blueberry pancake I have ever had. Coffee was delicious as well. If you ever visit Calgary, be sure to check out this little gem in downtown ❣️ Thank you for the great breakfast

Walked in and immediately felt like I was back home in my small town. The atmosphere gives you cozy and welcoming nothing like the busy bustling atmosphere outside. The lady who greeted me was very pleasant giving me all the time I needed to figure out my order and explain anything I needed. The food was phenomenal. The waffles melted on my tongue and tasted of cinnamon with every bite. Definitely 10/10! And I wish I had gone every day I had been here! I will definitely remember this place for any other trips I make to the big city.

Nice little location just off Centre St & 8th Ave in the Downtown core; pleasant atmosphere with a vintage feel to it. Serving staff was attentive & polite; making sure that our water was topped up for our tea/ coffee. Food was delicious; with a great portion size for what was ordered & prices so it didn't feel unjustified All in all really enjoyed the experience & will be sure to go again in the near future

Great service, nice ladies who know their regulars. Food and pricing of food need work.... the carrot cake pancakes came in an order of two, with a pathetic amount of maple syrup and then when asked for more was charged for it, in principle, does not work. Was a hotel guest from around the corner and this seemed to be a good option. Will now know to walk a bit further to oeb.. I think this is where all other hotel guests come!

Not really impressed with our first experience here. The service was extremely slow. 15 before getting our coffee (had to brew a new batch) and 30+ min for food. Not impressed. One chef in the back apparently, but this was a Sunday brunch. We expected to be in and out. Paying for our tabs was painfully slow too. The food was pretty good. Blueberry pancakes were alright. Small blueberries and the maple syrup serving size was borderline pathetic. (1tbsp). My brother didn’t enjoy his carrot cake pancakes either. Others enjoyed their scrambles. Tables were a little wobbly. Might try it again, but unlikely. Breakfast is supposed to be quick.

This diner is centrally located, had good service and has a nice decor/ambiance, but overall I did not enjoy my experience. Ordered the carrot cake pancakes with a side of fresh fruit and a two-egg breakfast with ham, bacon, hash browns and toast. The pancakes were decent, but the maple syrup for the pancakes was not real (Aunt Jemima or equivalent) which really ruined the meal, and the side of fruit was basically just a garnish. Four blueberries, one small strawberry and two small slices of pear. The egg was cooked incorrectly (asked for medium, but got over easy) and the ham was just generic sandwich meat. The hash browns were great, but when I had asked for mayo, I was given caesar salad dressing (??). They also included only a single slice of toast. This wasn’t exactly a cheap meal either. I don’t intend on returning.
