“Amazing sichuan food! First time trying this restaurant and the owner is super friendly! We ordered hot & sour soup, steam chives dumplings and spicy sichuan chicken to eat in! Home style and economical, love it! Definitely will return again!“

“The service is always on point and everything about this location is awesome. Plus, a lovely employee named Autumn found my wallet with cash and credit cards in it and returned it to me with everything in it. I will always support this location. Thank you.“

“I like the customer service, very friendly staff.“

“What a great spot! My husband and I are from out of town and wanted a place to have lunch while in New West for the day.
We chose White Spot as we have always found them a good choice. I have food allergies and they are very good about making sure my meal meets my needs. It is nice to find a place when traveling that allows me to feel comfortable ordering.
The atmosphere is great and all the staff were friendly and helpful. When the meal came my husband and I were both very pleased with our meal. I am almost sorry our travels don’t take us to New West to enjoy this restaurant experience more often.“

“Joeys staff were friendly and efficient. The lounge was nice and open with big comfy booths. Now the food was amazing, the Cobb salad I had was just outstanding. Thanks guys! I’ll definitely be back.“

“Jake was our server. His second week working and you can definitely tell the effort he is putting into it. Obviously being more confident with the menu could have provided a smoother experience, but that comes with time. As a previous restaurant leader, it would be a pleasure to have him on my team of servers.“

“Alicia was one of the best servers I’ve ever met; she was very friendly and easygoing, so chatting with her was a great delight.“

“Best burger I have ever tasted! Pizzas as good as any top Italian pizzeria. Brunch was excellent. Basically every dish is elevated but prices are not. Great service beautiful restaurant Chefs pride is tasted in every detail on each plate.“

“We love this location for large group events as they are always very accommodating. There’s lots of free parking in the shopping complex and centrally located.
The service and staff were great and the food never disappoints. There is something for everyone to choose from the menu and don’t forget to save room for dessert.
Prices have gotten a little higher but that’s with everything out there these days.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Brown Social House and left thoroughly impressed by both the cuisine and the service. I ordered the Butcher’s Block Burger, which featured a perfectly cooked, flavorful beef patty topped with crispy, smoky bacon and crisp, fresh lettuce. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, as each component complemented the others beautifully, making for an incredibly satisfying and well-balanced burger.

What truly set the experience apart, however, was the outstanding service. Erin, our waitress, was attentive and genuinely friendly, making sure our needs were met with efficiency and a warm demeanor. Her professionalism and positive attitude contributed to an inviting and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s clear that Brown Social House prioritizes both the quality of their food and the experience of their guests.

For anyone seeking a combination of excellent service and a delicious, thoughtfully crafted meal, I highly recommend Brown Social House. It’s a standout choice for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch dining experience.“

“Salma provided the best best service I have ever had. She talked to me for at least a half hour with a very genuine conversation. 1000% would recommend“

“November 20, 2024: This was my first time at this particular restaurant and I was thoroughly impressed. Compliments to the kitchen and serving staff for making it a lovely dine-in experience. Finally, kudos to Evie for giving me enough time to finally decide on the truffle butter steak and for checking in every so often to ensure that the food was to my liking or if I needed anything else :)“

“It was so good. The food and the service was out of this world. 10/10“

“We enjoyed a dinner tonight and as usual, the food was great! Especially charming was the professional, affable and engaging Manager, Trevor who presented us with our bill. His manner was sincere and didn't pose the trite questions normally posed by serving staff. A great asset to Earls!“

“Excellent everything! We split a salad, I had the carpaccio, he had the burger, we shared the panna cotta. Atmosphere, service, food, wine, patio, price point = perfection. Highly recommend.“

“Hosting our wedding at Riverway was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It is such a beautiful and centrally-located venue. The ceremony space is right by the water and is truly so stunning in the summer. The indoor reception space is large with wooden beams and natural lighting, which meant we didn’t have to invest in as much décor as well as it was already naturally beautiful. Bradley is such an incredibly kind and patient person – we had so many questions in the months leading up to the wedding, and he answered all of them in such a timely and thoughtful manner. He was so helpful for our rehearsal as well and he even checked in with us in-person on the day of, to congratulate us and to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We feel so lucky that we worked with Bradley for the wedding – even though he must deal with so many couples, he definitely made us feel cared for and was a big reason for why we were so happy with our venue choice.

Additionally, because the venue is owned by the City of Burnaby, we really appreciated that there were no hidden fees that we had to account for such as administrative fees, taxes, or service charges. The bartending and event staff were also very attentive and kind, and the buffet line ran very efficiently despite that we had 200+ guests. We got so many compliments from our family and friends on how beautiful the wedding was and most importantly, how delicious the buffet was (in particular, the mashed potatoes, striploin, and sticky toffee pudding). We feel so lucky that we were able to snag a spot in the summer for our wedding at Riverway – it is definitely one of the best venues in Metro Vancouver and we would highly recommend it to any couple!

Great service and friendly staff..went around 3 and 4 in afternoon..not very busy..nice and quiet.“

“that was honestly one of the tastiest breakfasts I've ever had .. the pulled pork benny was delicious!!“

The Brown socialhouse is easy for us for the business meeting.

We always have great times.

Thanks, Browns socialhouse“

“very Friendly and Awesome food“

“For our recent staff meeting, we ordered our meals from the Market Crossing location. Mark took our order when I called in. He was very patient. We had a lot meals and he took the time to ensure everything was correct. Our order was ready for the exact time we requested and every meal was correct. Thanks Mark for taking the extra time .“

“Prairie professionals very helpful and respectful love everyone keep up the good work

Kid-friendliness: I'm not sure there was no kids there at the time I was there but I haven't been there for a while the last time I was there was one West Broadway and they had lost the kids at that time and everybody was very patient and understanding

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a disability button at the front door so people coming in wheelchair scooters so on and so on lots of wide miles they remove chairs for wheelchairs who won the table so yes very wheelchair acceptable“

“The last time I dined at this restaurant, it was called Hazards, and we lived 5 minutes away. Having moved 10 years ago, it was nice to return to a familiar place. The service was pleasant and timely, and the 3 of us really enjoyed our meals. I had the blackened salmon tacos, which were very flavourful and expertly prepared. I will definitely be back!“

“I went with friends for a birthday dinner. The food was great, and the restaurant has a classy feel. Our servers, Rachael and Ritish were very warm and genuine. They presented the birthday girl with a delicious lava cake(looked beautiful on the plate)and sang happy birthday 🙂“

“Hi, I came in today after quite some time and I came with my sister and it was during the later hours as it’s a bit more relaxed. I absolutely ? loved seeing Josiah again who had been extremely helpful in the past as I have anxiety at times and a positive interaction and listening authentically is so appreciated on a rough day. Anyway, Chef Amol made such an amazing veggie burger, which was made CLEAN, and perfectly balanced amount of ingredients and super FRESH. Our servers Vicky, and Anyi were calm, patient and gave us enough space as well. We had some interaction with Angela as well upon arrival and was very calm and friendly, overall there was cohesion between staff and the conversation was fun and also Josiah remembered us from a long time ago, that friendly n welcoming energy is becoming exceedingly rare in the restaurant industry and needed to write and update my review. Also please try the mash potatoes with creole ? it is absolutely BOMB as well as dirty fries tossed in honey. If you are ordering cheesecake ask to have it with caramel instead, definitely worth it :) had to use pics from my last visit as we were having too much fun to remember to take any pics! ✨✨✨ will come back again soon, but we appreciate the super amazing night! Restaurant staff are appreciated as it is a demanding line of work, and on those nights we don’t want to do dishes at home we can trust the quality and standard at Cactus✨?“

“Ordered the Turkey to Go for Christmas day and was very impressed with the quality and quantity of food. Thank you for making this service a part of your Christmas lineup. We will definitely order again!“

“I normally have a great experience but this time it was a bit off. My water glass was filthy, I asked for a new one which was also filthy so I didn’t bother to drink water. Both our potatoes were burnt and then my friend was charged an extra THREE dollars for a tiny bit of hollandaise sauce for her eggs bene. That’s a bit ridiculous.“

“Ashley at the Coquitlam location was an incredible server tonight. She was genuine, patient with our kids deciding their food, attentive, kept our table clean and well maintained. She kept our drinks full and ensured she was on top of our food service. We are always impressed with Cactus but Ashley made our visit even better!

Kid-friendliness: Ashley was really great with our kids. She was patient and understanding while the kids decided what they wanted and if they liked the food they did order. She was friendly and listened to all their stories!“

“Today I was popping to grab some poached eggs and hollandaise sauce for my dad struggling with esophagus cancer and was really having a crap day.

Debra the general manager was kind and generous and made my entire day with her sweet offer.

My dad loved his eggs and sauce as it has been over 1 year since he last had it. Thank you again. You never know what people are going through and her lovely smile and kind gesture really meant the world to me and my dad. I am tearing up as I write this.

We have been visiting this location for over 50+years and will continue to do so. We need more people like Debra out there. Thank you!“

“Excellent food and service. Manager came to check on us and brought out some of the food. Amazing happy hour as well.“

“Was here for no more than 5 minutes - I just want to say… their Almond Croissant is out of this world, ask them to warm it up (it’ll be microwaved), but my goodness. What. A. Croissant. DELICIOUS!!!!! Would drive 30 minutes again and again and again just for that.“

“We were visiting from out of town and stopped at Cactus Club for my partners birthday dinner. We are so happy we chose Cactus as the food and service were great!

We were lucky to have Ghayass as our server and they were amazing! Very attentive and made our birthday celebration feel special. Huge shout out to Ghayass!

For food we started with the calamari and it was amazing, I could have eaten a large entree sized portion of just this! We also got a green goddess salad that was great and the bolognese pasta which was really good.

We ordered a crème brûlée for desert and Ghayass made it special by bringing it out with a happy birthday message and a candle, thank you so much! The dessert was amazing!

Overall a great experience!“

“Sunday, April 7, 2024 My 1st time ordering at this location. My Server was Anna, an exceptional, experienced, attentive, Mature Lady with a great personality. I will definitely be back to see Anna!“

“X-site restaurant, clearly named after its excellent food and exciting experience. Owner is a friendly and memorable character.
Quite popular restaurant with often a line, on Mondays. Nevertheless, the line moves fast and tables are always spacious and clean. Food comes very quickly. I almost always get the peppercorn steak, medium rare and it’s phenomenal. The washrooms are even a highlight, as they smell great and are clean. I would recommend this place any day, as the drink specials, service and food are exceptional. When grabbing your bill, the price truly is the cherry on top. A lower budget for a quality dinner, ensures I always tip BIG. I am beyond grateful places like this exist, and I want to keep coming back to support them.“

“We had our wedding here last weekend, and everything went perfectly. Ella and the team are amazing, from the food to the bar, everything was super organized and all the staff was lovely. Our guests loved everyone they spoke to from the BMC team and so did we. Ella was responsive and flexible, helping make our special requests happen and adapting with us to the changing weather. If you’re debating whether to host your event here, look no further. It truly was magical. The outdoor space was so nice both at night and during the day and we loved every second of it.“

“Came in a few days ago for dinner. Nadeen was our server and she was amazing!! She made really good drink suggestions, she made sure we had everything we needed and she was so nice. Our food and drinks were delicious!!! We will definitely come back to this location.“

“Eating here for about 12 years now. It's a blessing here. Otherwise I would not survive as food options are limited for me here.

A plate usually costs between $8 and $12 for an average person. You can see my plate and the receipt photo here.

Star rating should have been more. I have no affiliation with this restaurant. My review is based on eating food here for last 12 years. And it has always been great.“

“We had our Christmas party here. Chicken dinner with a vegetarian option. The food was fine as was the service. I was surprised that a dingle glass of wine was as expensive as it was as the legion has always been famous for reasonable drink prices. Still, this is a nice location.“

“10/10! service was fabulous, margarita was boozy yet enjoyable, we ordered the nachos and they are now our new favorite, we will be craving these often.. music was great and ambiance was very hip and well.. SOCIABLE...“

“I recently visited Park and Tilford's White Spot drive-in, and I had a fantastic experience! The waiters were always very nice, making me feel welcome right from the start. The food came out quickly, which is a huge plus when you're hungry. And let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! Every bite was satisfying, and I left feeling happy and full. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great service and tasty food!“

“We hadn’t visited Browns in a while, we our stooped at the Port Moody location reminded us just how fabulous it is! The atmosphere was electric, with great music and an awesome staff. But the real showstopper? Their happy hour specials are to die for! We’ll be back sooner rather than later.“

“Proud to support a classic, iconic, old school pub! Home cooked meals at a reasonable price. Popped in for a quick coffee and lunch, even sat down with Barisa & the house keeping lady and had an awesome chat. Thanks for the hospitality!“

“We went in during happy hour at 8:30. It looked pretty busy. However, we were seated quickly.

Absolutely phenomenal service by Olivia. Very attentive and checked on us frequently! Very kind and nice

The drinks were delicious, especially the bellenis. Nats lager was smooth and wasent bitter

The food was pretty good! However, I am a bit peeved at the portion for the new home style potroast, could have used more beef. The cabanara bacon and shrimp were by far the best dish we had. The double patty burger was good and bit dry and saucy, causing the bun to get soggy towards the end.

The atmosphere does feel a tad outdated, and it was odd that there wasn't anyone dining in the patio despite the propane pyramid heat towers being on.

I would recommend dining at White Spot Scott & 72nd

“I had an amazing experience at White Spot on North Road! The food was absolutely delicious, and the flavors exceeded my expectations. On top of that, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and efficient. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food and excellent service.“
