Leduc Diner

It’s not fancy, but it works. I take my grandpa here for breakfast on the weekends, and we enjoy it. He gets to chat with all the farmers who are also in having breakfast with their families, and the food is quick and simple. There is staff there that has worked there for as long as I can remember, which says good things about the back end of the establishment. It’s had a bit of a spruce up in recent history, but it’s still dated. It’s what’s inside that counts, and the food is good. Really can’t complain. The pasta sauce is polarizing, you either love it or you don’t (I love it), but there is so much on the menu, that if you don’t want pasta, that’s not a problem. It’s a local institution in «Old Safeway Mall» and they do what they do. It’s tasty, not fancy and it is what it is, and comfortable about it!

Decent pizza, ordered a small meat lovers for take out. Took 15 mins, the guy taking my order provided good service.
Good amount of toppings, I found the sauce too sweet for my liking, but that is a personal preference. The crust was crunchy, but average in taste. Good, not overwhelmingly the best pizza in Leduc as stated by other reviewers. I’d go back.

I think I’ve visited almost every restaurant in Leduc, but I’d never been to the Leduc Diner until last week. I’m not sure why, because I have friends that love the place and have memories of dining out with their families there, but I’d never been. It just was never on my radar, but I decided to stop there for dinner on Sunday night.
Sunday night in Leduc isn’t always a happening thing, but you’d never know that from coming into Leduc Diner. The place was busy, mostly family’s out for Sunday dinner, but I was still able to get a table right away.
There’s a lot of classic comfort food on the menu, as well as pizzas, burgers, and pasta. While I’ve heard the pizza here is really good I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish one on my own. So I opted for a clubhouse sandwich, which was really good. The décor is older, but it gives the restaurant a classic kind of feel, and the restaurant itself is clean and the service was very friendly. The portions are good size, and the price and quality is better than I’ve had at similar chain restaurants. Not sure why it took me 30 years to come here, but I won’t wait another 30 years to go back to Leduc Diner again.

The pizza us very good. The crust is homemade, the toppings are plentiful. The sauce is a little sweet. The sauce reminds me of Ragu spaghetti. I tried the Extra Large Royal pizza ($ 30) which is their deluxe offering. I left off the shrimp which i believe has no place on a pizza. It may be the best pizza I’ve had in Leduc very close to Royal Pizza. I would have again. They don’t offer delivery and they close early, even on weekends.

Leduc Diner has been a tradition in my family since I was nine years old. The menu is quite similar to Boston Pizza in alot of ways but the food is of a much higher quality. The pizza and spaghetti are the must try menu items. For years I have coveted the recipe for their amazing meat sauce to no avail. Even though the prices have increased over the year by one of two dollars on some of the meals the value is still there because the portions are huge.
With all the chain restaurants that have gone up in Leduc over the last few years alot of the community still has unwavering and well deserved loyalty to this place. The family that owns and operates this place puts love into all the dishes and has preserved the same warm and welcoming atmosphere over the years. The bar area especially is very beautiful and reminds me alot of the show Cheers.
When you think of everything that makes a good quality locally owned business the Leduc Diner has all of it in mass amounts! I look forward to patronizing this establishment for years to come.
