I'm surprised that the Blackfoot Diner is even on Yelp! Despite the tacky factor, this is one of my favourite places in the city.
I started going here probably 8 years ago as one of the few 24 hour coffee places in the city. I've spent MANY a night with an endless cup of coffee, listening to old country tunes from the jukebox and consuming a steady stream of comfort food. The decor is tacky-old-diner-chic, complete with an overdose of pink and a wall art with backlit 1950's movie stars. Look for the Furby in the train. You'll know what I mean if you've been there.
The part that most of you won't know is that I know this place as "Edna's". Edna is the original owner - a feisty old woman who knows how to run her business. She's often in there, checking in on things. You have to respect the woman for continuing to run her business well into her eighties.
Fave elements:
-really cheap prices
-24 hour kitchen & bottomless (decent) coffee
-great service
Fave foods:
-beef dip
- anything with gravy (best gravy in town)
-greasy perogies
-wide assortment of pies (love the Banana or Coconut Creme)
This isn't someplace fancy, but if you're looking to go somewhere to chill out without judgement or if you're low on pennies, stop on in. A great choice for those of you working evening shifts (been there).
See you at Edna's!
