Based on the location I was expecting this to be a bit of a "dive". Pleasantly surprised with the quality of our breakfast and the condition of the facilities. Worth a visit.

A Vancouver epicenter for retired gents. The price is cheap and the food is decent. PRO TIP: Check the daily specials. Order the one that includes coffee. The hot links are fantastic...when they have them. WARNING: They don't honor the on-line menu prices. Plenty of parking.

Wow!! How have I never known about this gem!? Very clean restaurant and friendly service with great prices! Straightforward menu and good food - we had chicken fried steak and burger as recommended. Nice choices. The fries were yummy! I loved the feel for appreciation LEOs and military there. I loved that they had hand sanitizer on each table as well. I will definitely be back.

Great place for breakfast. Loved the sausage gravy, there was a really tasty herby flavor to it. The biscuits were nice and fluffy too. My son gets the chicken fried steak everywhere we go and said that it was excellent. The prices are the best I've seen in Vancouver. Great wait staff as well. Be prepared to wait a little bit for a table and for your food after you order. We will definitely be back.

It’s like stepping into a time warp and I almost expected to see my father sitting in one of the booths as I came in the door, and I’m pretty old. You can tell there’s a certain demographic going on here. But that’s ok, kind of comforting actually.
Here’s the mystery… when I bit into that cheeseburger it was like biting into an actual piece of nostalgia. I mean it stopped me cold! It tasted exactly like I remember hamburgers tasting when I was a kid, and that was before god made dirt. I couldn’t tell if it was the cheddar cheese or the grease or the grill or what, but it was a shock. When you’re 70 years old and a burger takes you straight back to your childhood as if you were riding the way back machine and Mr. Wizard was pulling levers, it kind of takes your breath away!

If the french fries hadn’t been sadly crunchless and boring I would have overlooked a little dust in the decorations and gone 5 stars all the way.

Because the cheeseburger was great. And they served it open face. Remember that? How you basically made your own? When did restaurants stop doing that? Seeing it again reminded me how much I have missed it.

I loved the cup display where you can keep your favorite coffee cup, so you can get your morning joe served in your own best cup. It’s part of that sense of authenticity.
But authenticity can go too far. As I recall, fries weren’t very good when I was a kid either. Sometimes progress is good and should be embraced.
And the decorations are great, but someone should do a bit of deep cleaning on them, things are getting a little dusty.

Don’t mess with the cheeseburger though. That’s perfect.

Wow this Diner lived up to the reviews and so much more. Had our first visit for breakfast today and it certainly won't be the last. Great service, Old timey vibe with Quality food at more than a reasonable price.Breakfast for two with Beverages and a 20% tip for less than $38.

The food here is amazing. While it was a little bit of a wait I was perfectly fine waiting for the food. The service is great!! One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a while
