I used to go to the one in Banff regularly until it was replaced by a Chinese food restaurant, which I thought was unnecessary. The hash browns are delicious and the eggs Benedict is good.

If you are looking for a hearty and tasty breakfast without any frills, this is the place for you.

The restaurant has been a staple since my junior high days when there was a school across the street on Glenmore Avenue, and not much has changed since then. The menu has expanded slightly, but it's nice to see that Phil's has stayed true to its roots. It offers typical diner food, and the clientele mainly consists of older individuals and college students nursing hangovers, especially on weekend mornings. Despite this, the service is efficient and the food is hearty and delicious.
