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.“

“Dulins was recommended to my girlfriend and I. We like going to different places to check out their food. We were pleasantly surprised! It is in downtown Vancouver, and the atmosphere is great! Waitress is very nice and made sure we liked everything. Their food is outstanding and delicious. I had the waffle with bananas and blueberries. It looked too good to eat! Very well presented. I actually had to take a picture of it.
I would highly recommend going to Dulins! Excellent service and food. We will definitely be returning customers.“

“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!“

“As soon as I walked in, Nikki greeted me right away being very pleasant and sweet. The place is big, clean and i like the different seating areas and comfortable motif. She recommended their special espresso martini which was to die for. If they had ice cream in that flavor, i would hoard it.

She took care of our delicious apps: my steamer clams were fresh and perfect while also accommodating my friend's vegetarian options as the Filet Oscar was devoured by me.

Excellent quality to price ratio, service and my new favorite place to share with my partner tonight! Definitely want to try their blackened salmon and grits for brunch with the girls.“

“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“

“Portions are HUGE! The kids couldn't even finish the massive pancake with strawberries and whip cream on top. Coffee was good and our cups were never empty. I had the Farmer's style potatoes- I can see why they are a favorite. We also ordered the taco omelette which was ok. Our waitress/service was kind and friendly!“

“Cafe Yumm is one of the only places in Vancouver with Vegan options on the menu. Ty is a great guy who will greet you with a genuine smile and a great vibe. The food is delicious I suggest you add pumpkin seeds to the Yumm bowls and grab a bottle of Yumm sauce to go. This is by far my favorite place to eat in Vancouver.“

“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.“

“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!“

“These folks blew our minds this morning. One of the best diners we’ve been to in awhile. Ambiance, service quality, food quality. So happy to have this gem in our neighborhood! Lisa, our server, was a pro and so kind from start to finish. We were with our kiddo and got the ship and grits, shrimp sweet potato hash, avocado toast, and their vanilla birthday cake as “brunch dessert”. Everything tasted so fresh, we can’t wait to go back. It’s great for a solo meal, with a group, or with kids.“

“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 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

“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!“

“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.“

“lots of options for many with dietary restrictions“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“Best Pollo al Carbon! Delicious!“

“great place. great people“

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

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

“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! 🍕🐟“

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

“It’s clean and the talent is versatile, the outside looks great 👍 the cost is affordable…a fun place“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“great food and excellent servers“

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

“Pulled pork flat bread was delicious, the Mexican street corn off the cob soooo good, beer was good, salted caramel cookie with vanilla icecream delicious ooey gooey warm goodness. Atmosphere relaxed, with dimmed lighting, our server Kelly was awesome loved her!“

“This place is awesome and i have become a regular on the weekends for their bronch time

big shouts outs to Noah!!! they are the best friggn server ever and ever since my second visit they’ve remembered all my usuals. A real Cheers vibe! ✨✨
Also shouts outs to all other servers too they’re all really kind!“
