Located in the heart of the Warehouse District in downtown Edmonton, the Blue Plate Diner is open for lunch, dinner and also for brunch on weekends. We only serve real food made by real people.
"I had a very enjoyable lunch with client. She had the Salmon & I had the soup & Shepherd,s pie. All food was excellent with above average service I would highly recommend this facility. It is nice to see their menu include identifiable Vegetarian & Gluten free selections."

"We found the food good, but nothing really special. This restaurant has received excellent reviews in the past, so we were really looking forward to the experience. We arrived before the dinner service, and so, were presented with an extremely limited lunch menu. (Even though this was Mothers' Day. You would have thought they would put on something special.) Not much to choose from other that tuna melts and shepard's pie. I had the shepard's pie, and it was rather tastless. Don't think I'd go back."

"Our family recently had an early dinner (3:30pm) reservation at the Blue Plate to celebrate Mother's Day a bit early and we all had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere inside was calm and not loud which was great for keeping our 2 year old engaged and occupied.
The food was delicious and the deserts we chose ended the meal off with such a great note.
The service was very friendly and attentive to our needs, which always makes any dining experience just that much more enjoyable.
We all enjoyed the meal and will no doubt be soon for another opportunity to experience what the Blue Plate has to offer."

"I have been to the Blue Plate many times, and I'm always happy with the food - quality, amount, taste, promptness, all good. I'm tempted to give it five stars for food, but I'd be happier if there were more local and/or organic options on the menu."

"Veggie shepherd's pie was not heated throughout. Chips with the trio dip were burnt. The server brought the food and never came back to find out if we even liked the food. One item was good, the house salad with cranberries and a vinigrette. That was quite good. Menu choices in restaurant were less than the posted menu on website. Experience was mediocre at best."

"Blue Plate is one of my default restaurants, in that it is always a solid choice. The menu is an interesting mix of the old standards and interesting fare like bison and elk. Staff is always friendly, and the place is usually crowded."

"Just as the title suggests we had fantastic service. Our server was neither too pushy or hovered too much. He was just the right amount of available and abscent from our dinning experience all at the same time. The food however, was not the best that I've had from Blue plate, I took a chance and ordered something new, the shepherds pie, it tasted like the ingredients had been sitting around for awhile in a pre-mixed concoction in the back, it was the first time I ordered it and the last."

"A friend and I went to the Blue Plate Dinner on a Saturday night and had a wonderful time. The food is always amazing. I had the barbequed chicken and it was amazing. The BBQ sauce is very delicious. Their desserts were also great. The staff is polite and helpful. I love the atmosphere of the place with the retro tables and lamps. The prices are reasonable. Dinner for two with a shared dessert was under 50 dollars."

"There was just the two of us celebrating our 41st anniversary. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of restaurants. The atmosphere is casual yet classy and we appreciated that the tables were not all jammed together so we could actually have quiet conversation. The food and wine ( both recommended by our server) fit our palettes perfectly! We also appreciated the variation of menu choices and look forward to trying some more on a return visit."

"Went on a Wednesday after work and the diner was fairly empty. We were seated immediately. The ambiance is nice - quirky & retro. The macaroni and cheese was a little disappointing - slightly bland. The meatloaf, dijon mashed potatoes and grilled veggies was very good. We also enjoyed the peanut butter pie. It wasn't too sweet and a nice light dessert after a heavy meal. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and our food arrived pretty quickly. I would definitely return."

"I always thoroughly enjoy meals spent at Blue Plate. While I've only been there for lunch, I've heard great things about their dinner menu. It gets quite busy for the lunch hour, I always make a reservation just to be certain. The green onion cakes are PHENOMENAL, as is the macaroni and cheese. Highly recommend you hit this small , high-end diner."

"The menu seems full of things that I would probably make at home and normally I like looking for something a bit "out-there". With that being said the food was cooked/prepared very nicely. I think the beer list was awesome."

"I actually absolutely love the place. It definitely is my style. I ordered a lentil loaf and it was amazing. My boyfriend was the one who didn't enjoy it as much. He found his burger a little small and it just wasn't his kind of place. But I would definitely go back, I was pretty excited with the variety in the menu."

"I've been many times and as always the meal was excellent. It was at lunch and it was quite busy and a little noisy but the restaurant was full. We were seated a little close to the kitchen but it was ok. Service was excellent. We both had the grilled veggie sandwich and sweet potato fries. I love the Blue Plate Diner and always come back. Tried and true."

"Greek Platters ordered...with skewers. Wayyyyyyyyyy overpriced for the 1.5 oz. of meat we received. Tasty...yet left with the feeling we got screwed. Delicious peanut butter pie. Will go again, but will definetly make it clear that we don't wanna leave hungry. For $27 a platter.....I am sure they can at least spare another 4 oz's of meat!"

"I had been here before, remembering it to have a hipster/vegan vibe to it. I ordered the Veggie Loaf (like a meatloaf), as I'd had it before and liked it. Unfortunately this evening, it was so dry, it was hardly palatable. We had a trained Chef in our group (one who has competed internationally), and he was underwhelmed by the food quality. Beef skewers that accompanied the Greek Platter were tasteless (little to no seasoning) and too dry/overcooked. Greek salad was also surprisingly tasteless, and tasted just like cut up vegetables. Since portion sizes were quite small, we ate almost everything, as we were hungry! We paid over $100 for 4 people (one was under 12), no drinks, not a good value for what we received. Funky atmosphere=positive."

"I suppose it was my ignorance, but I always forget what it means to have 'diner' in the name. Not that I have anything against diners; I think they're great for certain occasions, but I was expecting a more classy ambiance. Anyways, this was just my error. We had salmon spring rolls, lasagna, and green chili stew. The food was fairly good all around. The server was extremely friendly, and the overall atmosphere was lively and energetic. Overall a decent place for friends to have dinner; not a very romantic place though, for couples."

"1. The chicken on my salad was "off". Something was wrong with it so I didn't eat it. 2. Server came around very quickly mid-meal to do her check. She left so fast that I didn't have time to finish what was in my mouth to mention the awful chicken. She did not come back. 3. I mentioned the chicken when they came to take plates. Did not eat the chicken and asked not to be charged. 4. Hostess then came and criticized me for waiting to the end to mention the off chicken...what??? 5. At least I did not get charged for the chicken. Did get charged for the rest of the meal and paid.
6. I will not ever go to Blue Plate Diner again."

"Food was excellent. Went there that night for the Easter ham special and it was absolutely delicious. I love how they used local ham too :) Our server wasn't the greatest. She didn't have much menu knowledge and she did not bring us the water that we had asked for and even after another server brought us the water she did not notice our empty glasses and did not fill them. The other server (who wasn't even out server) was great! She kept our water glasses full all night. The service has always been great here in the past so guessing our server was just a new bad hire or something. I would recommend eating here. The food is simple yet tasty and full of flavour everytime :)"

"Have eaten at the Blue Plate Diner many times. Have had some memorable meals. This lunch was good but not great. Vegetarian sandwich was tasty. My latte was served luke warm. Didn't enjoy it. I did get some hot coffee in my cup. Service was friendly. Ambiance with work by local artists on the walls makes the Blue Plate a pleasant destination. I will return. I expect a better experience next time."

"This s a nice restaurant with good food and good service. We were there with another couple on a Sunday night - chose the restaurant as part of the "Downtown Dining Week" and because I had good experience at lunch when I worked downtown. The staff were pleasant and knowledgeable. The only downer was finding that our car had been plowed in on 102 Ave. Not a good way to end an enjoyable evening."
