The soups, salads, and combos keep diners coming back for more, and the high praise and reviews have tourists putting Evelyn’s on their itinerary. It’s not hard to see why. With sandwiches like the “All or Nothing” heaped with ham, salami, turkey, Havarti, and mayo, or the most popular item – “The Bird” – stacked with freshly roasted Hutterite chicken, lettuce, and topped with cranberry sauce and mayo, there’s always a favorite to enjoy or something new to try. Not to mention, our Amazing Grilled Reuben Sandwich, and the Chicken Noodle Soup, perfect for warming your bones in the winter.
Locally, the restaurant is always busy with retirees who appreciate a great place to gather and catch up with friends while enjoying an affordable, wholesome meal; parents who want to socialize over a coffee or latte while their kids are in school; families who know they can get great value for a meal together anytime; and professionals looking to relax over their lunch hour with an energizing meal that helps them tackle the rest of their workday with gusto. Also frequenting the diner are tourists who come from all over the world.
While Evelyn’s is well known as the lunch hotspot, everyone is encouraged to also come out to sit and enjoy an afternoon tea and delicious dessert.
Co-owner David Poudrier says, “We offer a full service dining experience and offer healthy choices – not fast food. Our great fresh food, cheerful service, and unique atmosphere are what make us stand out.”
While the summer and tourist months are busy for Evelyn’s Memory Diner (who can resist the seasonal ice cream window?), this is also a place to go during the fall and winter months. When the kids are in school, why not treat yourself to a break with a cup of hot tea and a Ruben sandwich? When you are busy at work, stopping by for their famous beet salad or the sumptuous “Dave’s Mistake” that combines three of their famous salads into one can really boost your day.
Although it is gone through different names and owners, this location has been operating in High River for more 20 years. It’s more than a summer destination. It can be your new coffee shop, your favourite power lunch place, where you go to catch up with friends, and where you can just sit quietly alone and savour a great meal and some much needed “you” time.
Did that whet your appetite? Don’t miss out on the place TripAdvisor gave a coveted #1 ranking, and where more than 450 hungry diners have given a 4.5+/5 Google rating. The icing on the cake? If you like what’s in the diner, you can use their catering service to keep the great food and social times going at your private events!
