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 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!“

“Joseph WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. let me tell you, as soon as we walked in I could tell it was gonna be an awesome night! We get us ready to go with our server and had us set for the night! He came back not once. not twice. but like 10 times, by the end of the night, i basically felt like me and him were best friends! I was sad when I had to leave because I was unable to personally tell him goodbye. However I hope this review makes up for that! If Joseph doesn't get MVP or a raise, im gonna cry out to the gods! Because damn does he deserve it!“

“Stopped by our neighborhood Applebee’s the other night because we couldn’t think of anywhere else to go. We seated ourselves immediately upon arrival in the bar, which was great because we showed up during happy hour. There was a bit of a delay before anyone came over to greet us or take our food/drink order. After being seated for a bit, one of the female bartenders came by and brought us waters and then another server took over because their shift started. Once service picked up, the experience was much better. The food was well-prepared and flavorful, and the happy hour specials were an especially great value for both food and drinks. However, 1 of the 3 appetizers we ordered was barely warm when we received it, as if it was done and had been sitting there awhile before it was brought out to our table. Elliot was an excellent server—very friendly, patient, and professional. He made sure to check in on us throughout the meal without being intrusive and was happy to answer questions and make suggestions. His attentive service definitely stood out and made the visit more enjoyable. Overall, a solid experience with good food, great happy hour deals, and standout service once things got rolling. With slightly quicker initial service and fresher/hotter appetizers, this would easily be a five-star spot.“

“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.“

“By far the best Applebees location I have ever been to. We are regulars here and have never had a bad experience. Primarily the service is what sets it apart. Some Applebees have painfully slow service, never here. All of the waiters/waitresses are great. Food also very consistent and quick. Best Applebees location in the area by far.“

“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“

“It's dog friendly. I love to hangout on the patio with my pups. friendly relaxed atmosphere. long time costumer.“

“We are always n the lookout for something new to us to try out locally. Today we came to @thegroceeycocktailandsocial

I love that my hubby leans into my dietary constraints. Tonight he stuck to the vegan options available - without modifications! He found this place after about 45 minutes of searching locally and a few towns north. Essentially the idea of travel more than we have to was unappealing to me.

Social is a great way to describe the atmosphere - vibe is calm, upbeat, and positive. The staff lean into the vibe with casual clean attire that matches the social vibe.

We opted for the butternut squash curry with ‘shrooms, kale, and a light chopped hazelnuts topping. The heat was close to a 3 that I have expert other locations. It is heat but doesn’t burn. Lips have a slight tingle that feels good!

The curry had large chunks of well cooked squash, plenty of kale, and a few mushrooms. The chopped hazelnuts stayed crunchy until the last drop. And I do mean drop!

We also had the handcut Yukon gold fries - no salt. The plate was filled and they were fresh and HOT! It was hard to get my hands on a few as these are hubbies favorite potato🤣.

They have a good selection of beer on tap, plenty of options for cocktails and mixed drinks of most any type. They also have fresh fruit for drinks which is nice to see. I had an earl grey tea with lemon and honey - deliciousness!

Worth the time and parking fees on the weekend to check this place out!“

“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“

“We love Shorewood Market and Cafe!!“

“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! 🍕🐟“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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