Great food and great service, great meats. There is nothing to not like. A find!
Two Rivers has great meats make no doubt! Sadly, they have lost their distinction of also offering good value and now match other 'boutique' butcher pricing in the city. With new pricing at $30/kg for brisket they've become disconnected from their own proud Yellow Bus Kicking Horse River background which has become merely a branding tool. On the flip side this secures a huge opening for someone who wants to set up an online meat ship/delivery business to Van from Alberta where I can still pay $15.50/kg for brisket and $5.50/lb for pork shoulder. I'm certain they'd even provide a photo of your smiling animal frolicking in an open green field at no extra charge.
Great environment, reminds me of a modern 60's dinner, customer service is outstanding, the owner and staff are very kind. Food is excellent, steaks are especially great, hoping to see more side salads selections and larger steaks, perfect overall!
Don’t feel like driving to Pemberton? Want to eat a burger and then drop $100 on Wagyu Steak?!? If you eat meat, you must go here! The only place better to buy meat was an old lady who sold it out of the back of a truck at Farmers Market and she’s gone!!!!! So...yeah! This place is good!
I went here for lunch and would say peak time is from 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm - it doesn’t hurt to call ahead and see how busy it is because the wait can be 30 or more minutes. I ordered the “Dirty Fries” - roughly $12 after tax and is a fairly big portion. It was very filling and could easily be shared between two as an appy. The tomato salsa had a different taste and I don’t think I would get it again, BUT only because the burgers going by me looked amazing. The fries were very good as well. Awesome atmosphere here - staff is extremely friendly and the room has high ceilings and a nice patio. Casual seating and kept very clean.
Great butcher and all their food at the restaurant is amazing. Can't beat a charcoal grill.
Awesome eats & butcher shop & more. Thanks for bringing this to our community.
Fantastic butcher! Great selection of charcuterie and ready made sausages and bratwurst. Very fresh and very tasty. Beer & beer brats are delicious. Also a great spot for lunch with the outdoor patio. A great spot. Quality butcher & lunch spot!
Amazing food and fantastic service! You gotta eat here!!!
Mind blowing!
This place is amazing if you are a meat lover! Service is good food is cooked in front of you. There is free popcorn in bowls for you to enjoy while you wait. They have meals without meat. But I suggest if you don’t like meat this is not your place.
Best place to grab a bite on the North Shore.
Awesome place, yummy food, friendly people, super high standards for quality
This place is so good, food is superb. The only problem I have with this place is that it's not open Sundays. But now I'm told it will start opening on Sundays mid February and it will also open for meals Wednesday through Saturday until 10.00 pm. Today after our vacation we come back to enjoy the famous hamburger, the patio was full but the parking lot had one empty space just for me. Superb service and food plus a very high level of cleanliness.
Restaurant located inside a butcher shop. Be aware that you will be eating alongside countless sides and cuts of beef - in case that bothers you. I recommend sitting up at the bar so you can chat with the grill cooks. Super friendly staff who are willing to discuss meat! Two Rivers makes the best burgers and fries. Meat done right.
Good service
Fantastic burger!
Best burgers and beers. Cool place to hang out. Fries were awesome too.
Awesome food and cool vibes.
Excellent food and nice staff
Attentive service and superb meats
It looks and is a butcher shop but is also North Vancouver treasure for foodies. This a great restuarant that is not vegetarian friendly (they do have A salad) and beer. Happy hour is between 3 and 5.. The menu changes regularly and is always very good. The area is not picturesque but you are not paying for the location...... the decor is clean modern and the prices are reasonable.
I wish they'd open a store in East Van. I'd be there every night. Great burgers, sandwiches and butcher items.
Really good food, Quality ingredients. Menu is a bit confusing at first. Would definitely recommend and come again.
Meat is superbly good and not pricy.
Best butcher in town. Fantastic and knowledgeable staff will make sure you not only get what you want, but understand what your getting as well. The in-house cafeteria style restaurant is also dynamite - try the Boss Burger with a side of their homemade hot sauce!
Great place.
The eatery is now open! You HAVE to come and try this place out. Ramen, burgers, tartar - everything is outstanding. 10/10 food 10/10 service 10/10 space
Best burger
I was so exited to test their food based on reviews on google, I made it yesterday and now im going to share my experience: 1- their Burger was very normal burger like what you will get on most Canadian restaurant. 2- Their chicken was so dry, just a little spice on top and pretty much is like what you can can from costco or safeway fried chicken, nothing was WOW or impressing for me, Expect their popcorn which was very delicious(And its free), Their food is over price for the quality and quantity, they dont have cocke or fanta or regular soft drinks, they offer free water and Mexican ginger and cola which I hate it. Customer service was very normal, or better to say average. Overall is not a place That im going to recommend anyone.
Very busy limited seating limited menu
I believe the photos speak for themselves!
Great concept of a butcher / dinner-counter spot. The ramen gets four stars. It was good but not on par with Vancouver’s many ramen joints. Burgers, sausages, and chicken are all very good. Quality of burger and chicken (ordered at least three times now) seemed to vary from visit to visit, though. Never bad, just not always five-star worthy.
Everything on the menu is good, and their selection of meats is outstanding
Good quality, delicious
Probably the best new restaurant in Vancouver. I love that their grill is wood fired. Excellent quality meat and they have good spins on classic restaurant fare.
Best butcher shop!
Foodie heaven
Good place to eat, I do wish the portions were bigger but all around a good place
I have been shopping at @ rivers for a while and i always had a great experience , Both with the amazing food and the dine in lunch. There hot dogs they do for lunch is filling , great quality and so good. i had a small issues with them and Jason the owner was so awesome at rectifying the experience and made me a raving fan. if you love meat and quality please check them out. well worth it. thank you for being great.
Bad service
Cool concept and delicious food. Shared a family meal and loved the steaks, burgers, and dirty fries.
I was truly impressed with the cleanliness and organization of this store. All the meat prep is very transparent and it's displayed in an appealing manner. I ordered the burger and it blew me away. The Patty was full of juices and flavour, and complimented nicely by the toppings. The free popcorn doesn't hurt as well. Will definitely recommend!
I have been to the restaurant side 3-4 times now. They have seasonal specials which I usually go for. Meat quality is always good. I recommend the sausages, burgers and any of the specials. The steak is a hit and miss, so if you have a favourite cut and a specific cooking method, stick to other menu items. The service is not that good, food can take up to 45 minutes to get ready. This gets annoying because while you are waiting for your food, the barbecue smell in the environment makes you even hungrier. Hot sauce lovers; you wont have any options. The hot sauce they sell you has a bit if spice thats it. I like the complimentary popcorn cups too. other than pop and juices, do offer wine and beer as well.
Amazing food and very friendly staff.
Shhh, don’t tell anyone!
Hamburgers are very delicious and handmade! Worth to try!
Very nice and friendly staff
This is a gem on the North Shore. I don't use the butcher here but often have been to the commissary on many occasions. I appreciate the modern atmosphere and the menu which features a lot of familiar items and a few unique features. I frequently find myself ordering the tallow fries with my meal. They are so decedent and one of my favourites. The sausage of the day was one of my go-to items however I believe this is discontinued. Regardless, many great options! definitely worth checking out.
Great food. Enjoyed the beef tartar
Great meat and sausages to grill at home. They have a very limited selection of hot food to go which is too bad, I enjoyed their fries.
Excellent Quality Meat here! The customer service is top-shelf as well
Friendly counter person, but it went down from there. Part of our order was lost, (it happens), the fried chicken, which was modest in portion came as if it was baked, the fries were lackluster, and slaw needed a kick. BUT the beef looked good, and the deck is nice on a sunny day.

Some things good. Some things average. All things highly priced.
Such a gift. Thank you to the interested and knowledgeable staff.
Great place for eats or just buying meats!
(Translated) Very good meat (Original) Très bonnes viandes
Delicious charcuterie made with love and care.
Great comfort food and a nice vibe. Nice to see some more interesting food vendors you would expect downtown showing up on the North Shore.
Awesome!
Excellent
Excellent choices and quality.
We try to go every time we are in north van, pretty sure our sudden interest in lighthouse park is an excuse to come here for snacks after !,food is simple and nice, their pickle game is strong, menu changes in pretty frequently, there is a good assortments of different meats to pick from, service is excellent.
Great selection of take home quality meats. Nice spot for lunch with a great menu and friendly staff. I regularly buy all my meat from here.
I still dream about the pulled duck sandwich. Absolutely amazing!
Ordered the porchetta which was on the daily feature. Unfortunately while it was tasty, it was served barely warm (cold). Will probably stick to menu items that come off the grill or fryer only next time.
Laid back, good speciality meats, flavourful cuts, serves craft beer.
Beautiful space, good burgers
The smell from the grill is mesmerizing . You cant help to stop in when you drive by. A bit pricey but worth it for a treat.
Breakfast sandwich is awesome
Great bone soup!
First thing I did after finding this place was text all my friends and make sure they new about them. If you are a carnivore you'll love these guys. Awesome selection of meats from select farms in bc that meet the high standards these guys have set. Also a great place for lunch, the burgers are most delicious.
I use to buy from this place but today I bought hole chicken in spices for $25 which was $20 last week and when I asked they told me the prices are up $5 because of the bigger size which was exactly as last week so I am not going to buy from there anymore, $5 increase within one week is not acceptable.
Picked up some sausages, soo tasty! Moroccan was my fav
Gadda try the cracking!
The best expierence staff and food
Everything I've eaten here has been top notch
Please cut back on the salt and you got it made , breakfast sandwich top notch
Very tasty burgers
Great place for meat lovers - good quality and price. Also the best place I’ve seen in Metro Vancouver to order meat products.
Great food and wonderful meat selection and informative staff
Best hamburger!!
Great food choice for home
Great brunch spot, very veeerrry yum filter coffee and sausages are delectable
Great food and a really nice place
Great high quality food. The burgers, ramen and crispy chicken are delicious.
Stunning butchery and excellent bites to eat at a very fair price.
Happy to be able to purchase suet that I can render for tallow. Thanks so much!
If you like fresh, organic meat this is the place to go. Their sausage is out of this world, the burgers are fantastic and the bone broth chocolate chip cookies..... Best cookies on the planet IMHO.
Gem of a place. Possibly the best burger in Vancouver.
Great selection and good prices. The restaurant is fabulous
Amazing burger. Get the side steak if you love yourself. Actually get the side steak anyways, it'll make you love yourself
I was having really high expectations given the reviews. Service was very good but the selection is very limited and prices are sky high. I was having the feeling I just entered Whole Foods compared the selection and prices. However, Whole Foods is not a specialized butcher shop. Rib steaks had nearly no marbling and the price was 6 to 7+ dollars for 100 grams.
Finally had a chance to try this place on Friday.. I love this concept and execution was excellent..no frills with high quality meats. Straight forward menu and one choice of steak.. I ordered it medium rare and it came out perfect.. 6 oz..is a little light but you can fill it out with excellent appetizers They had one of my favorite beers on tap.. Bridge BBO.. I’ll definitely be back..
Great place for carnivores -either to cook your own or enjoy for luch
Best food on the North Shore.
Great room and food.
One of the best burgers in Lower Mainland.
Great burger. Wished they would set-up a separate brick and mortar place for their food.
Delicious definitely recommended
One of the best burgers in the city. Add a plate of fries and a cold beer and you are north of $25 but it really is a great burger. We ordered two steaks to take home that were excelent as well.
Great atmosphere, in store aged local meat, some of the best sausage recipes, super friendly and helpful employees ???? ????
Great place to buy meat
Not your traditional butcher shop, nice place for lunch
Great spot for lunch, amazing butchery and you have to try the tallow fries. Amazing.
Amazing. Knew from the second I walked inside that I would love this place and it exceeded expectations. Incredibly diverse menu that had burgers, sandwiches and even ramen. Appies such as a sausage or charcuterie board are also available. We were lucky enough to come during happy hour (3-6pm on weekdays) to get $2 off shareables and beer. Ramen was one of the best I've ever had, extremely flavourful. Charcuterie was simply yet complex. Super friendly staff. Extremely inviting and bright interior.
Bought 3 sausages for a mixed grill . They all fell apart on the BBQ. Disappointed
A unique and delicious meat place to go! I'm glad it opened in North Vancouver
Great selection of all the food and beverages. However, we were a bit loud on the patio, instead of coming out to ask our group to keep it down, management turned up the music on the patio super loud. Not professional at all. Please be human next time and use your words.
This place is amazing. Walk in and the smell of the wood fire hits you in the best way possible. The food was excellent and the pop corn is a must. Staff were friendly. Looking forward to my next visit.
The Boss Burger is the Bomb and you gotta try the Dirty Fries Yummy. The taste will have you coming back for more
Fun new 'everything meat' spot in north van and great lunch place!
Awesome food and great service!!! Will definitely be back.
Burger is to die for
Always a good sign when you see dry aged meat hanging in the cooler! The menu items were great and would highly recommend it for a good quality cut of meat!
Great quality meats, not cheap but you are getting best quality. Service is very friendly any special request is honored with smile. Also lunch service is very nice much better than many other local restaurants. Overall very clean and new place.
Casual, comfortable environment; friendly staff; best french fries in town
Their meat is the best, but service is hit and miss.
Delicious burger made of good quality meat... clean,spaciouss place
Great butcher shop, good food and good beer what else do you want. You are paying to the quality
Best cheese burger in North Vancouver
Very upbeat and modern. Has the appearance of a really nice place. Was also very busy. Came in with a friend, we both ordered the dry aged cheese burger ($14.00). I received mine right away, my friends been waiting half an hour. The burger was basic, the sauces bland and flavourless. For the price, should have come with fries. Maybe a better place to buy meat than to sit down and eat.
Best burgers in Vancouver hands down!!
Great food and service!!
Best butcher - eatery on the North Shore, nuff said. This is a must visit for anyone coming to North Vancouver.
We were in the area today and decided to stop by and maybe pickup a few items on the way home. The store was not too busy maybe 3-4 people in line and we waited about 10 minutes. When it came to order the guy behind the counter was quite rude and condescending. We were quite taken aback with his attitude and only picked up an item and left. We were quite surprised. It wasn't too busy but apparently he had better things to do than talk to customers about your products. This was our first time here and I don't think we will be coming back anytime soon to be treated that way. I noticed you had other poor customer experience reviews in the past. I don't want anything to be "setup" (like a previous reviewer) but I do think you should talk to your employees about their attitudes.
Genuinely some of the best sourced meats available on the North Shore. The eatery is surprisingly cool and produces a high quality product.
Had the share platter... great fresh meats.... delicious food in house and will definitely come try to buy some aged steaks! Their aged burger is a must try.
Quality meats, good atmosphere,very clean place
This place is a true gem!!! Stay for the food and take home some to cook on your own!
Awesome food. Great butcher. Super staff and great vibe.
The meat is epic; it's real quality stuff. I got the ribs and dry aged T-bone steak, sausages too.. super tasty everything, very satisfied.
Purchased 2 large pieces of beef for a birthday dinner. Delicious!!!!
This place is awesome! The meat is cheaper compared to competitors and their deli sandwiches are delicious! I got their potato salad today as well and am a happy customer!
This place is absolutely stellar!! The steak of the day was a 6oz bison steak and it was amazing! We also got the sausage sampler, baked beans and topped it off with the tallow chocolate chip cookies!! With the butcher shop there, you can take home any of their amazing meat selections... even bags of their beef broth, ramen broth, whatever. Seriously, check this place out!!!
Too bad about the cheese. The burger comes with orange plastic. I asked for blue cheese in it's place, and they said it was a delicatessen item, not a burger item, and they refused to sell me some.
Amazing place, quality is above and beyond anything you can expect.
Knuckle Sandwich w/herb tallow fries & a Kolsch. Delicious!
The atmosphere here is amazing: the clean meat coolers, the clear meat hanger display, the long wooden high tables with stools, the counter area overlooking at the chefs, the relaxing outdoor seating area, and the pork bone number stand. I've been here several times already, and I am impressed every time. If you haven't already, try the foot long hot dog. It sounds mundane, but it was the tastiest hog dog I've ever had.
a very interesting place. I had the charcuterie board which was very tasty. I'll have to come back for the dirty fries
Best. Meat. Ever. A bit pricey, but 100% worth it!
Great food and meat....
Great burger, the meat was something special. Try the knuckle sandwich for a meat treat.
I like the choices of quality meat that they offer here. The only reason why I'm giving only 2 stars because the staff needs to learn proper hand hygiene and cross contamination. The man that just helped us use the same gloves for the raw steak and pork and while he was helping us with the raw steak, AND he touched his nose with the same gloves that he used to touch the raw meat. That is really disgusting.
Great place to grab a bite and drink beer. They have tasty salt and pepper popcorn for free. Great for grabbing and pitcher and snacking on the popcorn. Had the feature steak which was pretty good. I would have preferred it without the chimichurri sauce. The sausage platter was delicious and cooked perfectly.
Great food and beer.
Very busy place during dining hours so make sure to come early if you want to snag a seat. Steak feature was well cooked and delicious. The ramen bowl was an interesting take as it features crispy pork bits and cabbage. Broth felt on the lighter side and I suspect that it might be from the water the noodles was cooked in (not shaked dry). I also had clumped bits of noodles in the bowl. I felt the meat pie was on the drier side but my wife liked it. Sides: We grabbed the Simple greens and Tallow fries. The fries were well seasoned but I felt that for $5 the salad was really small. I will be back to give the burgers and the rest of the mains a try but I will most likely be skipping the sides.
Meat.
Best burgers around, no doubt!!
Some unique dishes like crackling and tallow fires. Love the casual open seating as well.
Excellent, the beef tartare was outstanding.
Excellent quality products and very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Presentation of products and cleanliness of store is top notch.
Tasty juicy burgers and enjoyed the fries too
Wonderful place, kid friendly and excellent tasting foods.
Excellent friendly service and fantastic selection. Great deli selection too and the meat pies and sausage rolls are awesome!
Give this place a try. You will not be disappointed!! Their pork cracklin is amazing.
excellant
Honestly used to be my favorite place to grab a steak and a burger. I haven't found anywhere else in Vancouver that I enjoyed their burgers as much as this place. The relish they had on their steaks were amazing too. Just a little bit too far away for me to visit regularly but this place is honestly quality. Highly recommend meat lovers to come!
Great place, amazing setting, good food, high quality products.
Good food
A friend has worked there and raved about it. My husband took me there today. Right under our noses but just never went. Heard awesome things and it was awesome ????
The young staff are as great as the food
Just the best place for variety and local flavour. Today is their one year anniversary and they are celebrating with class! Outside roasting a giant rib roast over coals, inside sampling delicious product and offering a customer appreciation discount. It smells so good right now like a meaty, smokey campfire. This is perfect for a sunny October day.
They specialize in meat. I really like their burger. If you want eat and chew "meat" then this place satisfy your need.
Very delicious and fresh burgers. Better to have burgers rather than other foods.
Food was delicious. Good value and high quality. And the butcher side has some awesome meat. Super unique and cool venue
It's on the pricey side but amazing food!
Best burger ever.
I was very impressed with the menu and the quality. My kids both had the steak and are very particular on how to cook it (medium rare, Chicago style). The steaks were cooked to perfection. My husband and I had the sausage platter (would have been nice to know which one was which, but they were all delicious), a burger (perfect!), and dirty fries. Will be back when we are in the area.
Beef tallow fries! #paleo Amazing quality meat, great menu, good atmosphere for liveliness and light. The smell of charcoal BBQ. Good butcher with friendly staff too! Free WiFi. Beignets! Charcuterie! Bone broth!
Unbeatable! Hands down the best meat shop and burger in town!
Visited this place after a nice hike on Cypress. Really loved what they have done with a butcher shop great ambiance and food options. Oddly our favorite item when we visited was the free popcorn they were handing out. Their Bone Soup was pretty good but our main item, the sausage platter, was quite average. Very nicely presented though. Will definitely go back to try other items.
I love the idea. A butchery and a restaurant under one roof. nice environment. Everything is fresh with a good quality and reasonable price. Try their burgers and you won't be disappointed. Don't forget about the sausages and their foot-long hot dog too.
My wife and I went there today to purchase our aged prime ribs for Christmas they will prepare it and we pick it up a day or so before the big meal. The service was extremely good. Also bought sausages and other foods. They have fantastic meat pies at $8.00 each and the largest sausage rolls you will ever see $4.00 each. I could keep on going but you have to go there your self to understand the quality and variety. The only downside was they don't have the resturant operational due to Covid and I was looking forward to fresh fish and chips. Maybe in the new year it will open, hopefully.
The Dry Aged Cheese Burger is the greatest thing to ever exist. It’s so friggin good! FRIG!
One of the best burgers I've eaten on the North Shore, a definite MUST!
Hidden Gem in North Shore.. Decent quality and great service.
Too much filler in the burgers, the wood flavor was great! Take a pass on the fries, the steak and chicken looked great, i would try that next time. Not the cheese burgers. Green salad was really good, open your wallet, its going to cost you a bit.
Trying to keep a place like 2R a secret is hard ! Excellent service, knowledgeable staff, and fair prices for quality meat products.
An amazing assortment of meat and meat products served by knowledgeable staff!
Awesome service and really knowledgable staff. This is now my go to store for meat! Beautiful location as well.
Coming from Richmond, I was hoping it would be worth the drive. For me, it's not. Food is overall good, but not great. I was hoping for a real nice dry aged beef flavour in my burger but it didn't really come through at all. The pickles had a unique flavour though and, in my opinion, overpower the burger. Compared to my favorite dry aged beef burger right now from Multnomah Whiskey Library in Portland, this simply cannot compare. Yes, the US burger would cost about CAD$23 with today's exchange. On the other hand, I also bought some dry aged steak to try at home. Result, not bad at all. Perhaps I'll be better off with a custom order of dry aged beef.
Best of both worlds - local eatery serving tasty food AND excellent butcher with unique and natural selections. Yum!
One of the best burgers i have ever had. Basically it’s a butcheries and the serve charcoal burgers. Make sure you have burgers if you are in North Vancouver.
Eaten here twice so far. Typically get a burger, fries and a beer after riding at Mount Fromme. Good burger.
A great little place to have lunch with some friends. The food is amazing plus free popcorn while you wait for food and who doesn't like popcorn. It can get a bit busy but if you can get a place to sit down its well worth it. The burger is the best. Plus if you want to get something for the grill back home you have butchers right there ready to get you something great to grill
Meat
I've been hearing about this place for awhile now, finally had the opportunity to try it and I can Glady say it loved up to the hype. The burger is fantastic, the rotisserie chicken is juicy and well seasoned, everything is just made well using high quality ingredients. Clean washrooms, plenty of parking, the only thing is, the location is a bit tucked away and industrial.
Best burger I've had in a while! Great atmosphere and service.
Very good barbaque and fresh meat.
The cheeseburger is heavenly
Awesome service and food. They know what they do there and they do it w passion. Tried the Ruben sandwich and the burger,I recommend both
I expected a quality product for the price of the meat. Unfortunately that was not the case as it was not very good quality. We emailed them regarding this and never heard back.
The ready to eat items freshly made are very good. I drop by regularly to get nutritional food after work. Prices are reasonable for the products. Plenty of specialty meats available to take home and cook up some special meals. Quick friendly service.
Best meat I have ever tried. Friendly and family environment. A pleasure to be there, and place to come back more often. Congrats. Keep up the excellent quality.
If you like great meats this is the place to go. Before covid you could eat in. I really liked there hot dogs. Keep up the great work.
I love this place. The butcher was happy to get me some items that No one else could (Pork skins) for a steal of a price. The prepared food here is really good, my husband loves the breakfast sandwich, kids love the fries, and I always get the seasonal veg with pork cracklings. Love having a reasonable low carb option that the rest of the family likes too.
Love this place so much! They're not the cheapest price for protein, but the quality is unmatched and the staff is super friendly and fast! Highly recommended to everyone! :)
Best burger on the north shore
Very Interesting. Was just with someone who was buying a gift card for a wedding present.
Awesome lunch place!
Great burger well seasoned wood fire cooked. Excellent wait staff.
Been here 4 times this month !???? I always get a cheeseburger always grilled to perfection ! The meat shop (butcher) they have amazing good quality meats ! If you get a chance if they have it in get the Wagyu beef ????
Best jerk chicken ever. Best everything ever really
Trendy meat place
This is a beautiful restaurant hides among a group of factories. Boos burger and stake is my favorite. Fresh meet are good to go
This is a GEM in Vancouver. If you want to buy high quality meat this is it !!! They are local, organics, they supply meats to many supermarkets in all over BC. I love3 their bacon. In here you can buy for your meats for home and taste their home made foods. Freshly made and off course their famous meats. Their motto is catchy and funny "Nice to MEAT you"
Come for their deli and butchery, stay for their amazing food!
Rib eye lacked a lot of traditional fat. Their aged sirloin required way more aging. The premium paid for the aged taste was absent. And the elk sausage was dry and wasnt gamy at all. Way better value and taste at Columbus meats.
Great food and service. Not cheap.
Great place to enjoy a glass of wine, steak salad and shop for some salami!!
Amazing food (had the burger) and a beer. Will grab something to go next time.
Excellent service and food!
Food is very heavy so I won't be eating there again. The meat however looks great so I may return to buy a steak.
Good food. Not the place to go if you are vegetarian but they do have salads too. The pork crackling was awesome.
I went here for an entire grilled goat and a jug of mead. The person behind the counter told me that was too much cholesterol for one person in one serving and the medieval times are regrettably over. I settled for a tower of chicken burgers sandwiched between two pigs heads. It was delectable. Unfortunately it gave me a stroke and an ambulance had to take me to hospital. The hospital care was excellent. For this I give them 5 stars.
Stopped in here after the suspension bridge. I'm a big french dip fan, so I tried the chicken dip, since I had never had one. Yummy. Just so yummy. I thought the mayo on there would be weird in the broth but it just added to the moistness of the sandwich. Would drive from Seattle for again. :)
The food here is great. Simpleyet excellent ingredients. Best lunch I've had in a while. Try the pork crackling!
Food is sensational.
Great environment with amazing quality meat.
Those confit pork bites are beyond! Got a second order to go and ate them for dinner later! Beer, wine, or cider to go with your meal is a nice touch for a butchery/casual eatery. Can't wait to come back!
Meat, meat, meat!
i bought this skirt, and it was very delicious and juicy. i will try others. they were very nice!
A carnivore's heaven. Tried Beef Tartare and Dry-aged beef burger as a combo. My partner has a small stomach, so she had never finished a burger before, but she did finish this one. Amazing.
Baller butcher... Amazing food. Relaxed, delicious, definitely a place I look forward to going back to
Delicious food, fun casual atmosphere.
Fresh meat and great food :)
The best!!!!!!
Amazing meat with great prices. Best meat shop in North Vancouver
Best burger.
Nice staff and a good atmosphere for a quick bite. Their burger are really nice, especially with bacon. The knuckle sandwich was very good as well although the lady next to us had the chicken drumsticks and my wife said next time she would have those instead. Anyway, we will be going back there for more food.
Really great fries and pork sandwich.
I’m thrilled to have Two Rivers Meats on the NShore, as it gives me more options for meat - I was getting a little tired of the guys at the mall. Knowledgeable, friendly staff and lots of variety, whether you are looking for dry aged, wet aged, etc. Looking for meat from Cache Creek or Tappen? No problem! Grab a piece of beef jerkey or bison bites for the road. I’ll definitely be buying more meat from here, thanks Two Rivers!
Amazing food and Amazing Service. Went there for lunch, and was pleasantly surprised on how good the food was. The server behind the cash register was not the most helpful, but the other servers on the floor and walking around were very polite and nice. Overall we will go back for sure!
Great place to buy skirt steak
Really good burger. Cooked to order over charcoal. Two thumbs up.
Fun new 'everything meat' spot in north van and great lunch place!
Had a lovely dinner there with our kids. A very cool atmosphere, community tables, and delicious dishes to share with loved ones and friends. I would suggest the hot dogs for kids, and for adults the meat and cheese plate was great, and the cheese burger was very yummy. We didn't buy anything from the meat cases, but everything looked amazing. Will definitely be back again.
Fantastic company
Vegans and vegetarians watch out, there is a new sheriff in town. Come to two rivers for all your meat eating needs. Great burgers and fries, foot long hot dogs and meaty appetizers. After you're done pick up a slab of steak to go and impress your lady friend with the size of your meat.
When i heard there is a place in north van that has 65 day aged burger naturally i was extremely excited to go and visit. I have to say this place lives up to the expectations. The moment I walked in my day instantly became better. You walk in and greeted by a massive dry age freezer packed with high quality meat and when you order your food you realize there is a proper charcoal grill fired up in the back where the food is being made. The in house aged sausages and meat is great, every item we ordered off the menu was excellent and the beer selection is great. Highly recommend it.
Quiet this time. No lineups
Awesome meat shop! Great dry aged beef and incredible staff.
Great butcher
Charcuterie board, excellent quality meat, cheeses, mustard, pickled onions, and pickles. Just the right size to share.
Hands down the best burger and charcuterie board I have tried. Friendly staff.
The quality of food and meat is very good, the only thing is the waiting time for food is crazy long
Fantastic place. Super friendly. Great product. Will be back
Expensive, but probably worth it.
Amazing food, made fresh and quick. Also a butcher so grab a burger and a ribeye for the weekend.
The meats here are amazing. The selection is beyond words for a meat lover. But keep in mind this, you get what you pay for. So in this case, you are paying a hefty price for the things here. Great food but costly at the same time.
Excellent quality products and very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Presentation of products and cleanliness of store is top notch.
Awesome burger and sausage plate, not cheap but worth the price, staff helpful and friendly. View is not bad too.
Friendly staff. The carny plater was amazing so much meat!
Good quality products
Great place to go have lunch and pick up some meat for dinner. Love the atmosphere and the food is great And the beef jerky is to die for.
Absolutely delicious! We bought everything (sausage platter, meatball subs, charcuterie plate, dirty fries, sausage roll and jamaican patties) to share with our family and we enjoyed it all, especially the Jamaican Parties! Awesome, happy and helpful staff. My only comment is that it is a bit pricey but its definitely worth every penny!
So salty. Sat at the bar and watched the chef bbq. Sprinkled close to 1 tbsp of course salt on each burger patty. Had the ramen. Too salty. Tasted like warm sea water. Husband had a burger; over cooked and salty.
Awesome place with a great patio!
Great selection of meats with great customer service
What a refreshing surprise hidden behind the Capilano Mall, where there is the usual, dreary mystery meat food court and the related unhealthy fast food chains. In a dramatic contrast, Two Rivers offers locally sourced, top quality meat and poultry where animals are ethically raised without chemical feed additives, antibiotics, and hormones, at comparable, reasonable prices. This is a combination restaurant and butcher shop in a very cool, clean, inviting space. A small, sweet vase of fresh flowers sits on each table. I had the tri-tip steak, cooked to go. It was outstanding. Flavourful and absolutely delicious.
Excellent food and atmosphere
Amazing food!
I’ve dined here. The woman taking my order recommended the burger but would love to try the tartare next time I’m back. They have lots and lots and lots of delicious cuts of meats. If you like good meat, you should come check it out!!
the best BurgerPlace north of Portland OR
Some great meats and great eats.
nice
It's awesome to order food and while waiting pick up a few items at the butcher. the quality of the food and the meat is excellent. Our six-year-old adores the popcorn.
I expected a quality product for the price of the meat. Unfortunately that was not the case as it was not very good quality. We emailed them regarding this and never heard back.
Good casual food inside a butcher meat store. Beef tartare is delicious with the charred grilled toast. Tallow fries are crisp and double fried. Burger was a little greasy for me, definitely add the bacon for extra flavourful though. Crispy chicken drumsticks have a little kick to it, pretty taste.
So much good. Much meat.
Awesome sandwiches, heard good things about their steaks and sausages as well. The salad came with the sandwich was a little too salty for my taste though.
One of the best burgers I've had.
Best burger in Vancouver!
Excellent place to pick up for the BBQ, but surprisingly a hidden gem to stop in for a bite to eat. The selection is excellent, the food is great and if recommend for anyone to stop in and enjoy the experience!
Awesome healthy meat selection and freshly prepared food. Expensive? Yes!
My fav restaurant!
AMAZING FOOD! And the staff are great. Everyone really cares about the products they're serving. It's in the industrial area so you will only find it if you seek it out. Definitely worth seeking out though!
Great...great
Excellent food at an well designed space. The sandwiches and burgers my party had were all excellent as were the sides. The location is a bit out of the way but otherwise you gotta go!
One of the best butcher shop in the lower mainland. Great meats selection, good prices and awesome food concept.
Amazing products and delicious food!
Everything is good. The foot long hot dog with bacon relish is to die for.
The Best Cheese Burger I have had .....ever!
Had the Boss burger, felt like they needed a better bun and should just combine the 2 beef patties to make a bigger thicker patty. The pickles, cheese and bacon were a great addition, but felt it was missing something ????. I defently plan to go back and try a few other items.
Are you kidding me! This place is awesome! Great quality meat, staff that know there products, wide breadth of selection for cuts. And, you can have a beer and beef tartare before heading home for your own bbq. Fantastic to sit on the patio for a quick snack on a nice day
Great food!
Amazing burger
Expensive but top quality organic meats
Burger was overcooked
Amazing butcher and hot food.
One of our favorite places to have a drink and a bite to eat AND to grab some quality meat to cook at home. Great concept!
I've been to Two Rivers on a friday evening at around 8PM and it was easy to find a table for five. There's plenty of free parking right for customers too. As soon as you walk in it becomes clear that people are serious about meat here. You'll find a butchery inside, with glass walls that let you take a peak inside at these beautiful pieces of meat hanging and dry-aging. Aside from the actual menu, you can also bih meat and ask them to prepare it for you, or just buy it per pound and bring it home with you. I ordered a Knuckle Sandwhich, and my wife ordered the dry age burger with bacon. Both picks were excellent, fairly well priced at around $13, and with a good individual size. Me and my wife will come back again, no doubt about it. Hands down the best sandwhich we've had in Greater vancouver area.
Amazing!!
My favorite place to go for all my meats . Staff are great and always friendly. You won't regret it!
The only place you can find that old style sausage and meats on the north shore I can find. Good for a small snack or a meal. Be carefully with the cookies. Once you have one, you can't have enough. Not for vegetarians or vegans, for obvious reasons.
The burgers and fries was ok nothing special. But the fresh meat section looks top grade!
Come on Saturday for the Carnaboard platter, you will not be disappointed (its easily feeds three or four people). Perhaps the best burger in Vancouver. Casual family friendly atmosphere (shared tables, order at the front) with a couple of wines and beers available. Closes early during the week, but open until 9 Friday and Saturday.
The beef tartar was perfect, but the double pattie 65-day age Boss Burger was kinda overcooked.
So much can be said about this fantastic establishment but it's worth a visit to try for yourself. Experience some of the highest quality and most delicious fresh, cooked and cured meats/products around.
First off my review is on the restaurant side. I asked the person at the counter her recommendation. She said the burger is the best thing on the menu. I added a side arugala salad because I didn't feel like eating fries cooked in tallow (rendered beef fat). When my meal came the burger looked great, the salad looked meh. $5 for 3 bits of arugala. The taste of burger was nothing special which was a disappointment since the meat is coming from a butcher. I rate it 3.5 out of 10. The rest of our party said the same thing. In my opinion fresh ground cooked medium would be a better choice than dry aged.
Awesome selection of locally farmed meat and decent cooked menu if their own. Can be busy on weekends
The retail store is amazing. However the management staff are completely lacking any proper managerial and customer service experience, which severely limits the possible potential for a good business. This is one of those spots that I would grab something to go, and never look back. ----- Pasquale and his team are an amazing contribution and continue to be the only reason I will go back.
Great meat. Gets really busy but that only because the food is so delicious.
OMG, If you are a chef , love to cook, you need to check this place out! Staff are always positive.
Very nice butcher place. Their meat cuts were excellent. They have a hot food area but I didn't try looks very good might be a next visit . Highly recommended their bacon. ????????
Very good but expensive
Amazing! Great food!
A North shore secret, which is amazing except if you are a vegetarian. I hate to recommend certain food since the menu is constantly evolving BUT I love the dirty fries. If you go between 3 and 6 they have happy hour discount off sharable food and on tap beer. Another plus to this place is they do not allow pets inside or on the deck. I think the prices are very reasonable. The negatives to this place are the location ( industrial park) and that the menu changes a lot.
awesome ribeye
This is a GEM of a place! Meat at its finest. Nestled in an industrial area perfect place for good eats. Deli and Casual Restaurant type place such good food poutine... Amazing! Pepperoni sticks and chorizo sausage... Phenomenal. They also serve beer and wine. Casual, cozy and delicious little food joint. Very clean and staff friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to any meat lovers and lovers of good food!
Two words: pork bites
Fantastic place with top quality products!
Everything on the menu is quality and their burgers are the best in North Van, bar none!
Everything on the menu is good, and their selection of meats is outstanding
In terms of dining of the non-generic, chain variety, North Van is getting a little better all the time. This place is delicious, meaty proof.
The the sausage rolls are fantastic, lunch menu is great, but the new meat pies not so good and not even close to what they used to make in house and sell!
Fresh cut and great options
Very interesting place to shop or have lunch. Great food.
Very friendly service and delicious meat!
Good place to find specialty butchers cuts or cured meats. The staff is very friendly and helpful to provide cooking tips too. Store is very spacious and clean with all the different products laid out. Recommend also trying their sausage rolls from the cooked food section.
Wow! Best meat we've ever tasted! Bought dry aged striploin today and it has so much flavor. Going back to buy more for sure!!
Great product supply and excellent service!
If you want your Meat, and eat it too, go here! I eat until I get the meat shivers because it's that good!
Driver with plate number MP 2289, 50, 60s in age, white hair, maybe European man. Thinks he's in the Indy 500 and is dangerous to society with his driving
Meh, so so. Burger was surprisingly blah, like, blah. Fries were ok, gravy was disaaponting - kind of a congeled blob. Pulled chicken had bones in it. We'll go back to the butcher, won't eat there again though..
Great burgers and fries. Not exactly what I would consider "cheap" though.
Charcuterie board, excellent quality meat, cheeses, mustard, pickled onions, and pickles. Just the right size to share.
Great place for a drink, bite and take home meat from a real butcher!
Good place to get meat
Enjoyed an incredible burger on a gorgeous summer day with my dad! The place is a bit pricey — but worth it.
Food was amazing, friendly staff. Big share tables or can sit at the bar by the grill. My new place for burgers!
Don't get me wrong, the burgers and slaw were great. The food is not the problem with this place as the other reviews demonstrate. My rating is based on our experience, which showed the abysmal attitudes of the staff and a very poor level of service. We had heard this place had some of the best burgers in the region and visited with our friends (party of 4). We lined up and ordered first, then our friends. After the expected wait, our friends got their burger and appy. We waited expecting ours to follow, however a large table of 8 that ordered well after we had, got their order first. I asked a female server about our order and she ignored me. When my boyfriend asked, a different male bearded server with glasses replied and said, "Yep it's coming- Ramen and chicken". The table next to us spoke up and said "No that's us" and I said "no, we both ordered burgers like my friend here who was behind us in line". The server stared a second like we were from a zoo. He then came back a few minutes later with the ramen and whatever for the other table. We waited 10 more minutes for our order. No apologies or explanation given when it came. I was pretty upset by how unnecessarily surly everyone was. So I took my receipt to the front and asked for my tip back. I do have to mention the one older woman clearing and serving who was great, but everyone else staff wise was disinterested and cold. I know it's busy, I've worked in the service industry too, but that's no excuse for rudeness. If our order was forgotten admit it and apologize. No eye rolling or snark. At any rate, next time I want to drop more than $50 on lunch I will be taking my business elsewhere.
Excellent quality, I've enjoyed everything I've had here.
Cold smoked spicy pork pepperoni is incredible
Amazingly delicious
Best breakfast sandwich in town! Fries are perfect and pick up some gorgeous salamis! Coppa is my favourite.....
Excellent food, burgers are very good, pork bite excellent too
I like your burgers! Yammy
Love the tallow fries!
Superb!
Clean and organized. Display cases arranged well and products identified clearly. Have followed them on IG but didn't see any of the magnificent cuts they often post (perhaps visiting on the wrong day) Purchased a few items including one fennel meat stick...got home and it turned out to be the beer stick (side by side in the case).
2Rivers staff are great, selection is fantastic. If you haven't been yet, go now! (Best burger patties ever) oh, and the bacon. And the ribs...chicken too. Don't forget the steaks, sausage, cured meats also. Just get everything! You won't be disappointed.
What a great surprise and awese concept for Two Rivers. Solid atmosphere and fantastic food and quality!!
Always really good food!
Darn good Burger and top Quality meat choice!!
Great experience, I had the sandwich and my wife the burguer, they were both delicious. We also order a side of fries although we thought they were cut in too small pieces they tasted great. Local delicious beers :) I'm definitely coming back to try the sausages!
Oh yum carnivore unite, what they fo to meat, should never be stopped. Pictures next time!
Rip off! Overpriced, dirty establishment. Staff don't know much about weight.sell meat by the grams not pounds.
Went there on a class field trip. They have a beautiful selection of meat and cooked food.
Great place to sneak away and grab a real tasty bite... Any burger chicken and pork plate is absolutely amazing... Also the ramen is totally under the radar excellent... Bring a friend and share a plate as it is totally doable...
The food here is soooo delicious and always cooked perfectly. Staff are very helpful and friendly as well. If you’re making a run to the recycling depot (or not) you MUST stop here!! Definitely recommend trying this place!!
So delicious. Steaks are so tender melt in your mouth and yummy. my wife made,Beef Fajitas today. She had marinated for 4 hours. We thought there would be enough left for leftovers? No there was,nt !! it was too Delicious, Family of 4 enjoyed it. My wife made the Pork loin stir fry strips also with fresh veggies Stir fry. this past week also. So Tasty the Meats are very choice cuts of Meats at a great price, to top it off!!! We will be making a Meat order very soon. we will Try the Burgers next time and of course more Beef Steaks and Pork stir fry meats. Thanks Two Rivers. 5 BIG STARS. for sure.***** From the Happy Family. See Ya... real soon.
A butcher with a restaurant. So it only figures they should have good meat. They do. It's casual but the food choices are of a expensive chop House. I had the boss burger. Highly recommend it. It was worthy of the price and makes this place worth a trip.
Best burgers on the North Shore!
Outstanding butchers and great for eat in ... Burgers are fantastic!
Talk about going downhill. Walked in on Aug. 11, 2020. Was greeted with a big smile, which was nice, but that was the end of pleasantries. Asked simple questions about ribs I was looking for. Kids knew nothing. They didn't try to get someone else to help. They were absolutely apathetic about my disappointment. Described that I was looking for ribs from the chuck end, they didn't seem to know what that meant. (I'm at a high cost butcher because I expect the staff to know about meat) They just pointed at the two sets of ribs in the display case. I said, "oh, how many ribs are on each of those?" The comprehensive answer from the helpful staff..."I don't know." He didn't pull them out or check them for me, nothing. What the hell? This is Two Rivers, which used to mean something. Now it's just another overpriced shop where they depend on blind loyalty from their customers. So sad.
It was my first time here. Nick is so kind and suggested a burger to us. It was super amazing.
Already told all my friends about those place. Loved it.
I ordered the Chicken Dip. I can't explain it with descriptive words. It felt like that feeling you get when you try In-N-Out Burger or Shake Shack in California for the first time ever, and you are shocked that something on a bun can taste so good, yet be so simple. It was that feeling but for a Chicken Sandwich. Was blown away. Very reasonably priced for something that good. Excited to try their other items in the future.
Delicious food
Good food, though hard to figure out how to order.
I came here for the first time a few weeks ago because I wanted to pay a little more for really nice meat. We usually shop at Costco or IGA. We ordered lamb chops and lamb skewers. The skewers were so chewy I could barely eat them and they cost $8 each. The chops were okay but no better than Costco's. I emailed the butchery because I was surprised by the quality considering the price and they get such good reviews. I was shocked that I got no response. I will not be returning.
Great butcher shop plus great place to get a bite. Had the Boss Burger this visit - good meat-to-bun ratio, tasty, well seasoned and balanced flavor overall. Definitely worth a visit to the North Shore.
Fresh with a great selection of meat. Highly recommend.
Excellent good
They can beat any meat!
Heard about Two Rivers Meats and decided to make a visit. Not disappointed. Meat selection was outstanding. Decide to stay for lunch. Fantastic. Ordered the whole chicken with a side fries. Juicy, tender, delicious. Both had plenty to eat and enough to take half home. Staff are very couteious and helpful. Place is neat and well decorated. Reasonably priced but you expect to pay for quality. Lunch time is popular and busy but definately worth a visit.
Delicious and ethical. My kind of place. Highly recommend.
Super helpful folks. I needed a bunch of pork belly, pork jowls, and grinding pork to make pancetta, guanciale, kielbasa, English bangers, chorizo, scotch eggs, sausage rolls, and Weisswurst and the guys organized all the meats I needed. Excellent place.
Really good food, the room is great. Don't forget to visit the meat counter after.you eat. So you can take product home to BBQ!
Great variety, and their bone marrow cookies are to die for!
Somehow my review was set on one star? What the heck was that.. should be 5 STARS! lol that was an accident.. Two Rivers is great!! They have an awesome selection of meats and super friendly staff too. Always stop here when i'm on the north shore.. thanks :)
