Went to Phil's for the first time on a Monday for brunch with two friends. They are avid fans of Phil's (mostly because they grew up on this place during their childhood) so they had nothing but enthusiasm borderline obsession for this place. Right away, this place reminded me of Denny's (a slightly better version of it). Place was packed but we luckily got a seat without having to wait.
The service here is great and the waitress we had was very friendly and accommodating. She let us substitute several items which was great. For food, this is what we had:
- 2x cokes ($2-3/each) - you get unlimited refills for all you coke-aholics
- Special of the day ($10) and side order of hash browns ($3)
- Egg white omelette with 3 mini waffles (approx. $10-12)
- Mixed Special ($12) - 2 pork chubbies, 2 chicken chubbies (subbed for this instead of the beef ones), 3 mini waffles (subbed out pancakes), bacon and over easy eggs. Waffles were good, chubbies decent but a bit on the greasy side.
Overall, I thought the food was pretty average but the company was good. I'm not a much of a brunch guy so maybe that is why but I'm 100% sure you can find tastier options in Calgary. Decent but nothing mind blowing here. Must be why there was so many old folks here (haha).
