Barb & Ernie's Old Country Inn, German restaurant in Ritchie district, Edmonton, Canada
Barb & Ernie's Old Country Inn is a German restaurant in the Ritchie district with a red brick facade and wood-lined interiors. It offers German dishes alongside North American breakfast classics across multiple dining areas.
The restaurant was founded in 1975 by Barb and Ernie Feuchter and remained under family ownership. The second generation, Thomas and Charlene Feuchter, took over operations later.
The place blends North American breakfast classics with German specialties like wiener schnitzel and bratwurst, prepared fresh daily. Diners find a mix of both food traditions that have shaped the establishment for decades.
The restaurant opens at 7 AM Tuesday through Friday and at 8 AM on weekends, closing at 2 PM both days. Since it focuses mainly on breakfast service, visiting in the morning hours is recommended.
Manager Chris Morris has worked at the restaurant for over 40 years and greets each guest personally. His continuity and presence have made the place somewhere people return to for the human connection.
