50 Best American Restaurants in Vancouver

“It's a little costly, but you'll know where the cost is going. Phenomenal food, and great staff.“

“My husband, child, and I love coming to Dulin's Village Cafe for breakfast. Even when it's busy, we only waited about 15 minutes for a table. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is very family- and kid-friendly.

One of our favorite items is the fruit yogurt parfait—we always enjoy sharing it. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere keep us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“I don’t even know we’re to start my sister took me here for the 1st time, and when I tell you OMG it’s the best !!! I don’t even eat octopus but when I try it for the 1st time I was I loved the best I ever had!!!!! I had the scallops and boy that just melted in my mouth!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I will be going back that’s for sure!!!! The drinks OMG it’s to die for believe me what I’m saying to you !!! Please go and support this business you will not regret it!!!“

“We love Crave and have gone there several times. The mac and cheese is beyond great. We love the pasta they use, and the sauce is amazing. I always have extra to take home too. Not your grandma's grilled cheese is another favorite. I personally don't understand the bad reviews. It has been so great every time we go we have been completely satisfied and have told management several times. Compared to a lot of places and fast food at the same prices, it is a no-brainer. Thx Crave for our new place!“

“Trying to pick some healthier eating choices. My career as a Realtor doesn’t keep me in peak health. I’m out a lot so grabbing a quick bite can be a struggle on the “health Ometer”. The Uptown Barrel Room has their unhealthy choices too yet they had great salad selection, and some protein options. I had the Grilled chicken rice bowl ..very simple, clean and tasty.“

“5 Star for Frontier PH, particularly for Mama’s Reuben (with tater tots IMO), also for Kyle’s excellent service. Thanks from 4 generations of our Family at one time on the Patio!“

“Savannah was very nice today. You can tell that she’s on her a-game. Chicken and Waffle was amazing“

“Amazing food! Huge portions! Smiling staff and owner! Excellent customer service!

Breakfast for 5 was flawless. No mistakes! Everything cooked old school and delicious.

The most amazing meal was the 12oz burger steak smothered in fried onions and mushrooms with breakfast gravy with 2 eggs and hash browns. Scrumptious!“

“Stupid google won't let you review a place more than once. I get it, I know why, but sometimes you have vastly different experiences at different times.
That's what happened to me. I had meatloaf here for dinner once, and it was transcendental. And I was excited to come back and order Corned Beef Hash for breakfast, because as I have learned, the 'Couve is the center of the corned beef hash universe!
And the service and the vibe at Paul's is stellar. Love it love it love it. But people, maybe don't order the corned beef hash for breakfast. Did not live up to the hype. First of all, toast and eggs are an upcharge...maybe if I didn't order them it could have been better? The eggs weren't bad. And I got 3 because one was a little overdone. The rye toast was so dry I'd maybe classify it as a rusk. And the hash...the hash was so disappointing. A small amount of corned beef. Like barely enough...see the picture? All the beef visible peeking around the eggs is all the beef on the plate. But the problem was there were almost no potatoes! Or onions! or peppers! Or anything. There was like 5 bites of corned beef hash for the upscale dollar. I certainly left hungry. I sincerely hope that this was an anomaly, but I will probably not try breakfast here again...but I will be back for meatloaf dinner.“

“I am gluten free and found this place on my Find Me GF app. This was absolutely the best GF Breakfast I've ever had!!! The waffle was thick and perfectly cooked and came with not a pad of ice cold butter, but a large bowl of MELTED butter to pour over the waffle. That along with smuckers sugar free syrup...it was phenomenal! Also ordered slice of ham and they also gave me 4 strips of bacon too! I recommend highlty!“

“I always have a fabulous experience at the 192 Café Yumm. They always get my order right the entire staff is incredibly friendly. The establishment is very clean and the food is delicious and nutritious. My Oura ring is always very pleased when I order a meal from Café Yumm. I have become a regular there over the past six years and would recommend Café Yumm and this location especially, to anyone who is looking for a delicious nutritious meal on the go.“

“I looked at the reviews online and pictures of the food, and that’s what made me come to this restaurant. I was not disappointed. I had the corned beef, hash and eggs. My first time out and it was delicious. The eggs were done just as I asked the hashbrowns were tasty and they even had homemade bread for toast. The waitresses are very casual and very friendly and I will definitely be back.“

“Nice looking place. Even nicer on the inside. I love the outside seating near the golf coarse.
Better than average food.
I have had many good times in the lounge with the friendly staff and other costumers.
Good to note that breakfast is served later than other restaurants.
Reasonable prices all around.“

“Visiting friends in Portland, they took us here for Breakfast. Loved the ambiance. After a 30-minute wait (we didn't have a reservation), we were finally seated and waited... and waited... and waited, eventually receiving our order after another 45 minutes. Two of three orders were wrong - I had ordered "The standard" - described as "the standard two eggs* with a choice of bacon or Zenner's sausage served with home fries or field greens and choice of toast". Got it with roasted potatoes. The waiter insisted that's how they would always come - but then served extra fries - and, to make up for the wait, comped us with some of the jummy sweet balls they show in their icon image. I found this nice, but also the only appropriate thing to do to save them from a two-star review. Because the server, whom I found uncharmingly stressed at first, really woke up and sped up his game, I would take the experience and try it again when we visit our friends next time. The place itself is very nice, and the food was tasty - and would under other circumstances qualify for four stars or more (if you have read my other reviews, you may remember that I am rather particular with five stars).“

“I’ve been coming to this Applebee’s for a long time and I’ve always had a great experience! We come in often as a family of 4 and Jessica has been an amazing regular server for us- she has our food and drink orders memorized and is always so attentive, patient and just a wonderful person.
Also shoutout to Jeff in the bar, the best out there! ❤️
Always great food and service! There is also almost always a manger visible and checking in on tables which is so appreciated.“

“Went with my kids and their best friend. Got the 2 for 25 with my older daughter, we got the chicken Parmesan with pasta and the bourbon street chicken and both were excellent. My younger daughter got the kids Mac and cheese and my kids friend got the cheesy pizza. Everyone was happy and full at the end and we received regular check ins from our server who did an excellent job. Definitely recommend this location“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Almaro's Table in Vancouver recently, and I can't recommend it enough! We were on our way to Beaverton and arrived close to closing time, but the staff graciously welcomed us in despite the late hour. The food was absolutely incredible—it's been a long time since I've had something so delicious! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. And I must mention the dessert—it's truly to die for! It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. If you're in the area, don’t miss out on this gem. I can't wait to visit again!“

“I had an amazing experience at Willamette Valley Vineyards in Vancouver! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a modern yet cozy vibe that makes it perfect for a relaxing afternoon or evening out. The staff is absolutely incredible—Linde, Morgan, Jeffery, Logan, Dietrich, Kathy, Reid, Thomas, and Kyle all went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They’re knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience so enjoyable by sharing great pairing suggestions and details about the wines. The wine selection is top-notch, especially the Pinot Noir and Estate Rosé, which were outstanding. The food menu is just as impressive—the small plates and flatbreads pair beautifully with the wine flights. One of my favorite parts was the view—absolutely stunning and the perfect backdrop for sipping wine. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this is a must-visit spot for wine lovers. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I enjoy eating at Applebee's on SE Milplain in Vancouver, Wa on Wednesday April 15, 2026
Damian Upham, Kelly Darr and Braden Bain was especially nice to me and served me with great satisfaction and customer service skills.
Thank you
Ms Jeannie Moore“

“lots of options for many with dietary restrictions“

“Odighizuwa Foundation held both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day dinner at the restaurant, the food was not only excellent but the staff as well. Our guests were treated nicely and with great respect. I will definitely come back to visit.“

“This atmosphere is like being at home. Warm cozy place, friendly staff and great food. If you go home hungry it's your fault. The portions are huge. Customer service goes beyond what you would expect these days. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“First time here.
I ordered the pancake breakfast, and i really liked it. The pancake was a lil undesirable, taste like a biscuit made pancake. The rest of the breakfast was on point, definitely worth it. Now my queen ordered a French dip, it that was amazing as she put it.

We will be coming back soon. Price was definitely worth it. $35 for two meals, yah we will be returning. Ty at stardust diner. 👍🏿💯💙“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches and the coffee is stellar. Nice people too!“

“Super friendly service, delicious food & very nice atmosphere. Definitely eat here!“

“Great beer selection, but poor service from weird/hipster bartenders. Walked past me and my empty glass 6 times before asking if I wanted another beer.“

“Everything from the food to the drinks is made with love and care. The owners and staff are wonderful and so kind. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to.“

“Best burgers and good beer selections“

“OMG their steak bites are to die for add mushrooms and you'ld think you died and went to the other side. They are always polite,friendly, and attentive. I love this place!“

“We really like Shanahan‘s. However, yesterday, their fish and chips was undercooked and we couldn’t eat it so we just left it and paid. So we will always be Shanahan fans, but we will never try the fish again. We are not ones that will send our meal back.“

“This sandwich changed my life. I will forever hold sandwiches up to the bar they have set and they have set it high. Say goodbye to jimmy Johns or subway and say hello to the future of sandwiches in Vancouver!“

“I luckily came across this place while staying in staying in downtown Vancouver, and I am so glad I did! The service, food, and atmosphere was great! Small and local, their cocktails and wine were locally sourced and special, and food was fresh and delicious. I had the burger and handcut fries, and Jeremy and Ruby offered exceptional service! Compliments to the kitchen team, too 🙌🏽 🙌🏽Highly recommend!!“

“Great tap house with 28 choices on tap. Great and Friendly staff.“

“Best Pollo al Carbon! Delicious!“

“It’s a great bar with wonderful entertainment.“

“Amazing food and great service every time. The pizza is always fresh with a perfect crust and tons of flavor, and the fish and chips are surprisingly some of the best around—crispy, golden, and cooked just right. Friendly staff and a welcoming vibe make this place a go-to spot. Highly recommend! 🍕🐟“

“Absolutely love coming here every week and trying all the new specials as well as their pizza that they serve! So good!!“

“great place. great people“

“We stayed here for nine nights and enjoyed our stay.“

“Great place. Never been to a bar with such impressive service, great food and all around good vibes. Band was free too. Love this place.“

“Food, drinks, atmosphere and service is always top notch! It’s one of our favorites.“

“Always a great cup of coffee. Both the employees and owners take effort and learn the name of the customer beyond just the type of drink they normally buy. I’ve seen when the owner’s find a shot brewed substandard; they’ve dumped it at their own cost in favor of getting it right. It’s a small thing, but it says a lot. They care for their coffee and for their customers. 10/10“

“This coffee shop provides good quality coffee at a very reasonable price. The owners and managers are absolute gems and very friendly members of the campus and community. They have always focused on using high quality ingredients and providing extensive training to their employees. They don't put corn syrup flavorings or burnt roasted coffee beans in their coffee like many chain coffee shops do. Just good quality, traditional Italian roasts, high quality flavorings, and other great non-coffee options like organic tea.“

“Been going to this establishment off and on for 30 years. That kind of says it all, but the atmosphere is what makes me come back. The service is exemplary. I don't know the bar person's name, but she is very nice and friendly. I literally just moved about a block from the place, and I'm looking forward to trying their food. I hear good things.“

“Typical local bar/pub. Good food, good atmosphere. Here on a Saturday night with new friends and karaoke.“

“great food and excellent servers“

“Great Service and food. Chantal is the best waitress.“

“great greeting, great Bartender, service, and food!“

“We chose seats at the bar overlooking the kitchen staff. They were all very friendly and we watched every meal.prepared from scratch. I ate their very rich French onion soup, The Believer and Veal Marsala. Great food portioning and everything was cooked perfect. Thank you staff for your hospitality. I will be back.“
