It's not often that I give a review on a restaurant but the Phil's location on Glenmore Trail is my favourite breakfast restaurant and warrants a great review. I've been going to this location and others for 30+ years now and have known some of the waitresses that have worked there over the years. I know that the staff there have always done their best job serving customers. They have always been fast, friendly, efficient and helpful. The food has always tasted very good and is prepared well. Phil's has always had the reputation of preparing their dishes with a down home taste. It stands to reason why this location is always very busy. Their claim to fame has always been their pancakes, pork and beef chubbies and eggs anyway you like them. The coffee is always fresh and served to you in your own coffee thermos so you don't run out.
I was told by the waitresses that Phil's was the first breakfast restaurant in Calgary and Phil himself cooked meals at the first restaurant at the 14th st. location for a time.
I go the Glenmore location a few times each month, sit and relax with a good paper and enjoy a good breakfast to start the day. Phil's is a restaurant worth going to. I hope they stay around for many more years to come.
