I went for Sunday brunch with friends.
Although there was a line to get into the restaurant, it moved very quickly and my party was seated within minutes. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced. The service and wait time for our meals were very quick. The best part of my visit was the quality of my breakfast- fresh, good quality ingredients!
Be the first to ReplyThe food quality and variety are great.
The only criticism i have is that it is consistently cold. Last weekend i had the eggs benedict. It was great but i would love it if it came hot or at least very warm.
Be the first to ReplyThis is one of the best brunch and German restaurants in
This is one of the best brunch and German restaurants in Edmonton given the quality and quantity of their food. Be prepared to wait in line on weekends. Note to those that have been here before COVID - They don't offer the dinner buffet anymore. Overall 9.3/10. Strongly recommend: - Eggs Benedict - Bratwurst - Schnitzel - Homemade sauce, i.e curry ketchup

Staff also is very friendly. I love the old European atmosphere as well.
Be the first to ReplyBarb and Ernie's Restaurant has been in the same place in
Barb and Ernie's Restaurant has been in the same place in Edmonton for a very long time. I could guess at 40 years or so but I'm not certain. It was a full morning until night cafe for most of that time. Originally it was run by Barb and the eclectic Ernie but now his son runs it. The hours were reduced to mornings until 2:00pm so it's a breakfast and lunch place now. In the evening the kitchen is used by Langano Skies Ethiopian restaurant for take out only. That's an interesting arrangement that seems to be working.. But enough history, you want to know how good food is. It's good. We arrived for a late breakfast at around 11:00am on Thursday. There were many choices at medium prices but we ordered from the senior's menu because we only had to be 55 or older. The seniors prices were excellent. I did find it odd that they charge an extra $1:00 for multi grain toast (white bread toast is included for no extra charge) but the meal was still a good deal. We paid $8.95 each plus the extra dollar for the better bread. This gave us one egg, three sausages and lots of hash browns (a fruit bowl is a $3.00 option). What made the meal stand out was the condiments. There was house made mustard for the sausages and house made ketchup for the potatoes. They were delicious. The coffee was restaurant style but perhaps slightly better than average. Service was excellent. I think that our server was the original Ernie's daughter in law but that's just a guess because she talked like an owner. I recommend the new Barb and Ernie's as it's better now that both Barb and Ernie have retired and their son runs the show.
Be the first to ReplyThis restaurant might be called the "Old Country Inn" but
This restaurant might be called the "Old Country Inn" but literally everyone in Edmonton knows it as Barb & Ernie's. Barb and Ernie Feuchter are the original owners of this German-comfort breakfast restaurant, which opened in 1975. Many people (such as myself) have fond memories of crawling in to Barb & Ernie's during the 2000s on weekend mornings after a wild night out on the town. (I was in my 20s, after all!) The best part was always Ernie's signature surly attitude - super sweet to the ladies and quick to dismiss the gents. I would line up all the way outside the door just to get my hands on their smoked salmon eggs benedict - which I believed to be the height of breakfast luxury at the time. This is a great example of what restaurants can do: they create and capture memories. Barb and Ernie officially retired in 2011 and the restaurant was taken over by their son Thomas. Even though the Old Country Inn has been around for 47 years it is still a beloved institution that receives regular accolades. Edmonton Journal named them Best German Restaurant 2020, Best German Restaurant 2021, and Favourite German Restaurant 2022, as well as Best Overall Restaurant 2021. I hadn't visited myself in many, many years and looked forward to a nostalgic return. Said visit took place on a Sunday morning, and not much had changed in the fact that the earlier that you arrive, the better. (Unless waiting in line is your thing.) There is a small parking area in front of the Ritchie establishment but the spots are in high demand. You couldn't possibly miss the restaurant itself - not only is it located in a fairly desolate industrial part of the city but it's kinda hard to ignore an entire two storey Bavarian-style chalet just sitting there on 99th Street. The building is very distinct and a definite focal point of the landscape in the area. Crammed into the small entrance vestibule, I was transported back to age 25 and it was a good feeling. It can be nice when things don't change too much and seem to be just the way that you left them. We arrived not long after opening and there were still vacant tables available. This didn't last for long. However, we were luckily seated right away. The restaurant is somewhat large, comprising of two separate dining rooms with the kitchen sandwiched in between both of them. The inside is very homey and comfortable, much like the food itself. There isn't much flash but you will see paintings of grassy German fields and other scenery, wood paneling on the walls, and the odd beer stein here and there. Seated in the second (or south) dining room by a window, I couldn't help but smile. A sunny classic breakfast just feels right. Barb & Ernie's is only open for breakfast and lunch so you can expect to find a menu that focuses on all of your breakfast favourites with a German twist. You will not find avocado toast on this menu. I decided to order the "fanciest" coffee on the menu, the Mocha (With fresh whipped cream - $4.50). This beverage, while pretty small in size for the price, was a delight. It tasted like coffee and hot chocolate and I was good with that. The whipped cream added a little extra that made the drink feel special. Although the restaurant was busy, our server was very prompt and friendly. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and as usual, the portions were massive. Barb & Ernie's claim to serve the best eggs benedict, and like I previously mentioned, their smoked salmon version used to be a staple of mine. However, there are SIXTEEN different types available, from meat-centric versions to seafood to vegetarian options. For this visit only one version seemed to be correct: The Old Country Inn Eggs Benedict (Ham, salami, corned beef - $19.95). If something is named after the restaurant itself, the general rule of thumb is that you should order that. All of the eggs benedicts are served with two poached eggs (cooked to order, I requested medium) on an English muffin with homemade white wine hollandaise sauce and hashbrowns. (You can also get tomatoes or baked beans as your side instead.) I have recently come to the realization that fried salami for breakfast is absolutely my jam, so this eggs benedict fit the bill. Heaping with meat (the meat value is certainly good), I dug into this benedict meat mountain. I always remembered the hollandaise to be especially memorable at Barb & Ernie's and was happy to taste it once again. Super creamy, you really get the flavour of the white wine. My eggs were poached to the correct medium doneness. I'm sure that there was an English muffin under there somewhere. The meat was the star of this dish. The ham was good, the corned beef was very tender and felt like a special treat, and the salami was delicious. Cured meats are the best. Think of a charcuterie board except in eggs benedict form - that's what this was. My only issue was that my butter knife was not appropriate for the thick-cut salami. I needed a steak knife, which was not

This is hands down my favorite low key breakfast spot in YEG! I always come here for their eggs benny. The potions are huge and their hollandaise sauce is made white wine! They have a few different options for their eggs benedict and they usually have a special running (right now it's eggs benny with pulled pork). I recently tried their Barb & Ernie's Special Breakfast for $12.95. I chose the hotcake with eggs and bacon. Huge portions and probably the best hot cake that I've ever had (I'm serious!). This place is popular! Especially on the weekend mornings. Come early or be ready to stand outside in line. The good news is that the line moves relatively fast. What I love is that Barb & Ernie's is that it's locally owned, casual and down to earth. Portions are huge but the pricing is comparable to chain restaurants such as Ihop (but this is so much better). Oh yeah, you also get free refills with your coffee!

We enjoyed the experience, the service was really good & good. I had eggs & a German bacon pancake while my husband had the French toast. The German bacon pancake was good but fairly bland, I'm glad I tried it but probably wouldn't order again. My husbands French toast was pretty standard but delicious and both of our eggs were perfectly cooked. I don't think we will go out of our way to return but enjoyed the experience.
Be the first to ReplyFirst time finally visiting this restaurant.
The cuisine is quite good, home cooked feel to it, staff was very good, polite, helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back for more. We enjoyed buffet but during Covid they give you a checklist of what you would like and they bring it to you. They ask if you want seconds or more of anything. We had cream of cabbage soup(amazing!) salad selection of 4 types, then our selected items for entree and then a selection of dessert. Which really was the cherry on top. They had probably 15+ options to choose from. I absolutely love this method of buffet. I kinda hope they keep it going forward!
Be the first to ReplyThis place has amazing, quality, delicious food.
Every dish is made authentic and fresh. Reasonable prices, too, which make me want to come back! The younger staff never seem to be in a good mood, although they are polite. (Maybe it's just this year). They only have 1 accessible bathroom stall. The other stalls are VERY small. I could barley get in there. It was impossible to sit down / stand up without hitting the wall repeatedly. The location is great. Prices, quality, service, parking, all great. Would recommend!
