Phil's is one of those places I've eaten at since I was knee high, in fact it's a place that my father ate at since he was knee high.
It's a good place to go for brunch, lunch, dinner as long as you like breakfast, and if you are like me breakfast is the staple meal anytime of the day. We've been to Phil's on 16th Avenue at least 4 times in the last 6 months and we've always had good service and dependable food. There is nothing too fancy on the menu here, but just your typical American style meals with a good selection of options. The portions are always reasonably sized and the meals are quite affordable.
You aren't going to Phil's for the ambiance - unless of course you like that 80/90's decor - but rather as a good place to take anyone from your kid's to your grandparents; it is very, very family friendly.
And even though there are 6 Phil's restaurants don't be fooled into thinking this is a chain like that big American down the street (rhymes with Benny's). It's Alberta owned and a great place to eat whether you are in Red Deer, Banff or any of the quadrants in Calgary.
