Bruce Campbell has hit on a good thing, and he insists it’s all down to his staff.
“Really, what made it take off over on Fourth Street was just the staff we got – a group of people that just loved it. They loved doing it, loved everything about it. They’re still with me five years later,” Campbell says of the staff in his first diner near downtown Calgary. His second location, Red’s in Ramsay, has hit its stride for the same reason. “I’ve got this same group of new people that just love this business,” he says.
Red’s is often bustling, but Campbell says he harboured some doubts before opening diner No. 2, which is surrounded by century-old homes and heavy industry. However, in many ways, it’s in a great spot, just a short walk from Inglewood, the Bow River pathway system and the Calgary Stampede grounds.

If you love the thrill of the brunch table hunt, look no further than the two Red’s Diner locations on Fourth Street Southwest just north of 17th Avenue Southwest and in the Ramsay neighbourhood. Both spots specialize in all-day breakfast, including the Prairie Breakfast Plate featuring two eggs and house-made potato-cheddar perogies, which are served with Rocky’s kielbasa, another Eastern European treat. You can also order perogies and kielbasa as an addition to any other breakfast menu item.
