November 2007 - Great little spot for lunch or dinner. Always busy, great decor, great service. The food is fantastic. Best sweet potato fries I've ever had. The po-boys are very good as well. I've never been disappointed with this restaurant. And the locally brewed Alley Kat Pepper Beer is unique to this restaurant and goes so well with the cajun food. I love this little spot on Whyte Ave, and will continue to eat here often.

| "Hipster diner serves good food" |

June 2007 - I stopped at Da-De-O for supper with a friend when I was in town to catch some bands recently, and wondered why I’d avoided eating there for so many years. Da-De-O has been a haven for a variety of hipsters and college students, with its retro décor and location on Whyte Ave, for as long as it’s been open. Frankly, it’s always one of those places I avoided, because places like this usually charge too much for small portions of sub standard food, but stay open because they remain a place to be seen at. I had Da-De-O pegged all wrong.
Billed as a New Orleans style diner and bar, Da-De-O serves their take on Cajun and Creole food in the setting of a 50’s diner. We arrived early, to beat the crowd, and only found ourselves waiting 5 minutes for a table. We ordered a couple beers to start and chatted while we looked over our menus. I ended up ordering the special, Seafood Jambalaya ($15), while my friends ordered the Southern Fried Chicken ($15). The food was on the table in short order, and I was blown away by the size of the portions. My Jambalaya had tons of shrimp, mussels, scallops, crawfish and clams, mixed with veggies and rice, and came in a big bowl. It was hot and delicious and more than enough to feed my healthy appetite. My friend’s order of chicken was huge. He got half a chicken, fried, with a large serving of sweet potato fries on the side. He had enough left for a snack after the show that evening.
I left Da-De-O with a smile on my face and a full stomach. The food and service were good, and besides being a little on the pretentious side, I enjoyed my surroundings while I ate. Good value for your money and a good place to people watch while you wait for your food. They’ve also opened a second location in Vancouver, so if you’re looking for a place to eat there, or in Edmonton, check out Da-De-O.
