My son loves the Vancouver Canucks! So when they were heading to Game 5 of the first round of the play-offs in 2024 we headed to the west coast. Our first night he was researching a place to eat and found Burgoo, on Main St. Billy was our server and had some great suggestions for what to eat. He emphasized that their food was “Comfort Food” and all home made in their kitchen. My son had the Cuban Sandwich and FAB Salad. (Feta, Apples and Bacon) with red onions and some type of vinagrette. I had the Beef Bourguignon, which is a very flavourful beef stew over mashed potatoes. Both dishes were served on pottery dishes. The food was delicious and was indeed “Comfortable”!Billy was an excellent server with great advice for food and how to get around town for the game. Thanks Billy and good luck with your future endeavours.
The outdoor patio is nice. Food is OK but not exceptional. Service is fine.

Visiting from Winnipeg. The staff were wonderful and the food was amazing. A little English pub style place done so right. Even my (slightly screamy at the time) daughter loved it.We'll be back.
My family & me visited this place yesterday (7 th April'24) for Dinner. We had No Reservations & had to wait 75 minutes for a Table! We are vegetarians & had the Soup & Sandwich Combo, the Grilled Gooey Cheese, Fruit & Bread Fondue, Mac & Cheese & Banana Choc Pudding. All he dishes were excellent in taste..though pricey & one wonders why Veg dishes cost same or more than Non Veg items! The Soup & Sandwich set should have some french fties or a salad added..if choosing Veg option..so the meal is made more fulfilling. One of the important items..which enhanced the taste of the foods were the HOT Mautauka & Calypso Sauces. These were served in bittles- NOT some cheap plastic 8 gms packets! Further it is heartening tgat Burgoo has these great sauces to give the " lip smacking" taste! Service was excellent, Staff great & Toilets Clean & Dry! It is suggested tht the Owners introduce a few more Veg dishes & serve tge Sandwiches with fries & lastly indicate prominently..the Veg items on the menu card. Overall a most satisfying experience..recommended for all discerning clients.Vegetarian options: Limited Veg Options but very good
Great food and service . Enjoyed their patio and happy hour!

Food was ok at best, had a bad experience with the servers here. As I am someone who eats out often I would recommend people go elsewhere, where they can actually enjoy the food and the experience. Would not go back.

I've always loved this place! My partner and I dropped in tonight for our anniversary and had a great experience. The crab bisque has had my heart for years, tonight I got lucky and the chef hooked up a whole bowl with my sandwich! We truly had a stellar time, great music, cozy and delicious food! Did find it odd that all the staff were wearing only plaid shirts... I have previously always appreciated the lack of uniform at this laid back, rusticated restaurant.

Fantastic comfort food, nice little patio, and a very cozy interior space. I've eaten from here a few times recently and the food has been excellent.
This is a very cozy place to get away from the cold weather! I love the atmosphere in this place but their prices are waaaaay too high for the amount of food you actually get. I got an entree, a soup and a dessert and still left the place a bit hungry. I think this place is better as a get together with friends to drink something more than to sit down and eat a mealDietary restrictions: They don't offer gluten free products but they were kind enough to bring something else instead of bread

What a great find ! Great food and friendly service. Good value , highly
Visited this location for an early dinner. The kale salad was a little sad. Throw a bunch of garlic croutons and you have comfort food! The mac and cheese hit the spot and was pretty good. Also tried one of their local tap beer. The service was fast and profesh. Would happily visit again.

Wonderful last minute lunch. The soup and biscuts were soo delicious. Perfect for a rainy Vancouver day.
