Casual atmosphere...great comfort food!
Nice options for soups and quality sandwiches and a cozy setting.
Pretty good food
Decent business with decent food and better than mediocre service... Selection was alright, but I keep going back to the stew.
Good service, great food reasonable prices
You have to get the brie fondue. There was a little bit of time when they swapped it out for another cheese fondue but now its back and it's incredible.
Good food...
Great comfort food
Burgoo has lost its way... Inattentive service, uninspired dishes and 'sweaty' smell throughout the restaurant. Seated at 7:03PM, ordered at 7:15 and food arrived at 8:22PM. Ouch.
Food was delicious, really does taste like a homemade meal. We had the Caesar salad, beef bourguignon and the mac & cheese. I don’t usually mention service in reviews but the staff were so great and friendly over the phone when we placed our order it was just a nice touch.
Dinner
Cheese fondue starter/share thing... Way better than expected! El Cubano.
Great soups, salads and sandwiches. Definitely try the biscuits. Can be pretty busy for lunch.
This place should have a much higher overall score. The food was the best I have tasted. Tomato soup is never on my preferred list of choices, but after reading the reviews I had to try it. Wow!!! I have never had soup so good. They make it from scratch. The banana bread pudding was delicious. The service and hostess where second to none. Great place. I will be back for more.
I didn't like very much the menu options. Staff is ok as well as the service. Ordered a cheddar soup that I didn't expect to be spicy, and they said it wasn't, however, it was spicy for me.
They had the best dish I've eaten in four weeks of eating in North American restaurant everyday. Highly recommended A++++
Absolutely LOVE Burgoo! Going to buy that cookbook next visit because I crave the chocolate banana bread pudding every day! Our favourite dishes include: - Baked Shrimp - Fondue with the grapes - Grilled Cheese - Tomato Soup - Kale Caesar - Burgoo Salad Delicious food! Friendly service! Good environment! Great location and prices! We are do for another visit soon! Thanks for making delicious, crave worthy food!!
It is a cosy place. Really nice and friendly staff. The food is great. We loved the ceviche (which we forgot to take a picture of since we were so hungry), mashed potato and the mac and cheese.
Gooey Cheese Griller... Heaven
A generous serving of comfort food...thoroughly enjoyed
The ambiance at burgoo is so cozy and friendly. The food is homestyle and delicious ! Try their nachos ...you will be glad you did and won't eat them anywhere else once you have.
Always have the soup and sandwich combo. Great patio expansion for the summer. Was really disappointed in my Moscow mule though.
There chicken corn chowder soup is fab
Loved the drinks and the service but sadly the food was just ok. The crab soup barely had crab in it and just tasted like tomato soup. The salad I couldn’t eat, but they refunded the money for it. Their mussels were good, but not the best I have had. They need more vegan options also. Too much dairy in almost everything.
Limited menu due to covid, great service
Nice comfort food, good atmosphere
Food was great and quick! Service was very friendly and offered great suggestions when asked.
Great Food and Good Atnosphere
We absolutely love Burgoo. Nice dining room and wonderful food and drink. Not the standard greasy pub food so don’t come here craving a burger.
3rd favorite location. Still so so good
Cozy place with great comfort food
Mediocre experience. Staff were friendly and happy, but they mixed up our order and it needed sorting out, then it needing sorting out again when the bill came. I found the portions pretty small to be honest. Good flavour but even the mac and cheese left me wanting more. Burgoo has fallen well behind in terms of quality and value. I no longer consider it a recommended stop.
Cozy place with great comfort food and friendly staff!
Good, French onion soup was a highlight
Good food, really enjoyed my soup and chorizo and bread dish.
Amazing food and hardly anyone was there. My friend and I were looking for something to warm us up and their sandwich/soup combo definitely hit the spot. I had the butternut squash soup with the pulled pork sandwich, while my friend had the crab bisque soup with the pulled pork sandwich.
My beef bourguignon was cold and my mashed patatoes was hot. Not very impressed by this place.
excellent service and food
Dinner
Very friendly staff. Soup and Sandwich is a must have. The menu changes by the season, so check on line if your fave item is there on not. Currently, Aug, 2019, they have the Mussels (Thursdays to Saturday’s only)
Fondue ... Enough said.
This burgoo has plenty of seating, including a patio. On a Sunday evening, they had live music as well. There have been times where I've been quite disappointed with Burgoo, but my recent visit made me realize why I enjoyed their food in the first place. Their sandwich and soup combo is definitely the way to go. The have a good variety of both to choose from. I opted for the gooey cheese grillers and tomato soup. With some hot sauce added, it was delicious. The sandwich definitely had a gooey cheese factor. The soup was simple, but complimented the sandwich well. It really was comfort food at its finest. Service was great too, even though it was quite busy.
Got there just before the rush, good service staff was friendly. Food was worth it. Even when the place was busy, the server kept checking on us. I would go here again.
Awesome food and with great service!. Tanya was very friendly and genuine. Definitely worth checking this place out. Patio is solid for people watching!
LOVE Burgoo. I think about making trips to Vancouver just to eat there! I love all the different dishes. Especially the soup with the Gooey Cheese Grillers (and Im not a big fan of cheese!) And the Lonsdale location is pretty amazing!
Good food but too slow on service
Come frequently. Love the gooey cheese sandwich!!
Always amazing! My husband and I have been going here for at least 11 years and finally brought the kids with us last week! The menu has something for everyone. All of the food is full of flavour!!! I do miss the Hungarian Goulash though...them dumplings!!! Please bring it back!!!????
We have been going to Burgoo for years. Not just the Lonsdale location, but starting from the original W 10th Ave location. Decided to do Sunday comfort food and ordered online to pick up dinner this evening. After ordering, I was told it would be ready at 5:35. I arrive on time and advised that there was a ‘glitch” in the app and they just received the order. I was then told they would need 10 mins to prepare the food and to come back. 20+ mins later and the food is still not done. When I finally received my food, the manager did very little - if nothing to rectify. In fact her only explanation was that they had new staff and was a ‘mistake’. As I said to her, the current staff shortages are understood, but just throwing your hands up in the air and giving me a blank stare isn’t the solution and carte blanche excuse. They offered no remedy or solution: Lots of businesses are struggling, consumers are doing everything we can to support them but when things go wrong and they will, I would hope the business addresses it and solves it without excuses or ignoring the matter. While we love their food we won’t be doing take out or delivery with them for the foreseeable future.
Service was excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Cute, cozy and quite comfortable. Wonderful wine selection. A few beers on tap. The menu was unique and varied. Specializing in comfort food from around the world. We started with the meatballs, amazing! I had the Mac and More. Mac and cheese with a little extra. I highly recommend it, I can confidently say the best Mac and cheese I've ever had. Also tried the crab bisque, it was good but not super flavorful. Overall a great value. Reasonable prices compared to nearby options. Try this place. Make a reservation if you can.
Try their mac and cheese. Great service and great food! Nice cozy feel
Cozy spot with great comfort food and solid drinks. Diverse menu that changes seasonally. Best crab bisque in Vancouver...the grilled cheese and mac 'n cheese is also top notch.
A little expensive, but had good service and good food. I really liked the lobster bisque I had.
The food was excellent but the service suffered. At the end of our visit we asked for decaf. They told us what they brought was decaf. It was not.
Great spot for a cold day. Impeccable service and impressive view of the city from here makes this place a winner in our books. We needed something to warm us up for the rest of the day and the soup was everything. Waiting times seem to be normal so am not deducting stars.
Definitely a really nice, cozy place for comfort food. Had their cheese fondue and mac n cheese and they were so good! We also had their chocolate fondue for Valentine's day and it was also delicious. Definitely wanna go back again and would recommend it if you're thinking of trying this place out.
Tasty little spot! We stopped in for some happy hour food, and we were pleasantly surprised. That cast iron nachos were delicious!
Cozy place, great food and an amazing Cesar drink!
Nice restaurant, and good service. personally on a bit pricy side, but it is a good hang out place with friends.
Service is always slow. Food is way overpriced for what you get but it's good. If you want a homemade, comfort food vibe, it's the place to go.
Grilled cheese sandwich was too hard.
Great comfort food
Brie fondue was amazing and so was the grilled cheese. Service was great as well, made the trip very pleasant
The food came so quickly and it was delicious! Even tho there were lots of healthy options I chose the baked Mac n cheese with bread crumbs and bacon....it was so good. My girlfriend ordered the healthy stuff and I must say the kale ceaser was tasty. I will definitely be back when I come to north van.
Delicious food and great service
I was served a cup of soup that had been warmed up in a microwave oven. I know that because it was a thicker soup and parts of it were hot while the others were cold. I stirred it to make it consistent and what I got was this awful, lukewarm, thick thing. I ate it because I don't send food back; have no interest in spit in my food, thank you! But I doubt that I will go back. One would expect to get fresh food at that price but one would be wrong!!!!
good service and food
The food is always great and the service is super friendly
You're biggest problem here is picking what you don't want to eat
Warm and cozy, very welcoming and friendly staff. All dishes were perfect. Elcubano sandwich, Chicken pot pie, mushroom soup,and strawberry cheesecake. Could be five if the washrooms were cleaner.
Always a great place. So cozy and great food and service
Cozy place with cozy food. Waiters service is superb. Close to Quay. What more can you ask for.
Possibly one of my favourite restaurants in the world. Such comforting food and always a friendly welcome. The sandwiches and soups can't be beaten.
Great place with nice outdoor seating, I had the Cuban panini (El Cubano) which was really good. I also had the lemonade and could drink enough of it.
Casual menu, somewhat limited. Excellent service.
Great food that was prepared and packaged perfectly to get home to enjoy when we couldn't go in person. Most definately looking forward to making this a regular place to go once the pandemic passes. Super nice staff every time we've done take-out the last few months.
For all the sweet tooth who want something sweet to drink- go for pink flamingo. The perfect drink which is my all time favorite. The food is just amazing too. Love the crab soup. I’d go there every week for my favorite drink.
Burgoo - North Vancouver Finally had a chance to try this comfort food place. The interior is very cozy. Got the grilled cheese with a side of mashed potatoes, Shrimp appetizer and Brie Fondue. Loved the apples and grapes with the fondue. Server seemed tired and a bit confused but overall good service. Can get a bit too loud inside the restaurant. Grilled cheese sandwich dipped in Fondue cheese was not bad at all.
Had lunch with my family and was not a pleasant experience. The cooks should taste the products they are hot holding. The seasoning in the butternut squash soup was overpowered with clove, making it inedible. The reheated kentucky burgoo was reheated one too many times and should have been tossed all of these things could have been prevented if you tasted your products on your line check and our experience would have been stellar. Don't think we will be back but I hope you take the advice to heart.
Dine in
Good food and nice atmosphere! Wait time can be a bit long but they will text you when you're table is ready so you can walk around and enjoy the quay. The mead selection is lovely! The beef bourguignon was delicious but I wish it came with a small side of potatoes or bread (you have to pay extra for that). Ceviche was also quite good.
Cute place..great soup and sandwiches..they do not sell burgers and fries.....give it a try...
The other reviews were accurate, I'm very impressed. Great food, atmosphere and great service.
Food was delicious and the service was even greater. I save my 5's for unicorns so this rating is exceptional for my standard.
Some of the best tasting comfort food I’ve ever had, the grilled cheese was to die for ... if you plan on having the Brie fondue as an appetizer save the rest of the cheese to dip your grilled cheese in ! All the cheese. The Mac and cheese was really good too. Overall good experience ????????
I like this place and used to frequent it regularly. Unfortunately, I won't be going back until the stop scanning for passports. Please stop scanning for passports/
Really enjoyed the Soup and Sandwich combo!
Had a craving for grilled cheese with tomato soup and I was adequately satisfied, great comfort food
Mussels & sausages a real taste treat
Food , decor and service was fantastic
excellent salads
Usually a great dine in experience. But the last two delivery experiences have been bad. Missing items, but worse, meat in a salad that had zero mention of meat on the menu. Accidents happen but meat falling into a side salad is a little bit careless.
Food was delicious and moderately priced. Our drinks cost more than our food!
Great selection of very tasty food. Try the El Cubana pulled pork sandwich.
Wonderful comfort food. Good service. Cosy atmosphere. Parking is not great, although you can park at the quay, two hours free. Street parking is terrible and only for 1 hour
This place is excellent for comfort food. I had a delicious sandwich and soup. My friend had the French onion soup and shepherds pie. All dishes made us feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Great wholesome food!
Best dining experience ever
Friendly staff, comfy atmosphere and great food
Delicious food, nice environment and great service. It is not cheap but affordable. A must restaurant to visit in North Vancouver.
This is a great place when you’re looking for high quality comfort food. They have amazing mac n cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches. I’ve had mixed experiences with service when eating at the various locations around Vancouver, but the food is always consistent.
The service was professional, efficient, and very pleasant. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. Very relaxed and friendly place and I highly recommend.
Crab bisque and chicken sandwich are good
Comfort food at its best. Menu revolves around soups, salads, sandwiches, and then comfort food like mac n cheese.
Nice location and menu but the food is way too salty. Each time I go I enjoy the meal but suffer later. Not recommended for those who are unused to generous amounts of salt!
Very disappointed in the service, the food and the cleaninesss. I was a fan of burgoo bistro but based on the length of time it took to get served, the over baked look to our food and the lack of attention to detail we won't be back soon. I'm use to the 4th Avenue location, so maybe I will try there and see if there is a difference in the food and menu.
Good atmosphere, good food, kind staff.
Always good, great place on a rainy day!
Excellent food and generally good service. Just a bit pricing for my means.
Great place fresh foods varied menu
great food and wonderful service
Terrible fondue. Tasted and looked like it came out of a can.

With strong views of the city and excellent food and service, burgoo bistro is a must-go in North Vancouver. They bring the classic soup/sandwich and salad combos to another level. Can't wait to come back.
Service was really nice. Although the portions look small, they are definitely filling and quite delicious. The atmosphere is nice in the winter and service was fairly prompt. I recommend the ratatouille.
Dinner
Good cuisine and great service
Good food and service.
Had the jambalaya and it was good ... but something was missing from my dine out experience. Portions seem small at first glance but actually it's a good amount of food. Our server was lovely and very knowledgeable and made good recommendation from the menu.
The best place to get your delicious comfort food. Check their website for event before you come. Enjoy live music.
This place is very homey and comfortable. This family friendly restaurant has a hearty menue with great soup and sandwiches. Really enjoyed their perogies and french onion soup.
Food is always delicious!
Great comfort food. Generous portions, reasonably priced. Daily specials, check them out. No better place for a soup and sandwich. Service is good and efficient.
Good menu, good service. Comfy restaurant that fills up fast. Bar seating is the best if you're just 1 or 2.
Sooo satisfying and yummy! 10/10 for high quality comfort food. This location is always busy but worth it !
Very disappointed in the Service. Stood for 15 min in front of the host and was told that they had no room for an hour. Literally had 15min to tell us that! Seriously!
Fondue and something with cheese was great
Another day with good food and service. Our family went there during weekend for first time, and was really surprised of how good and creative of their food is. Strongly recommended.
One of the best places in North Van for a French style food outlet. Great variety of dishes. Something to make all happy. Love their European look and feel.
Burgoo serves delicious comfort food with attentive, professional staff. The food is reasonably priced and portions are generous—the “After School Special” is a great deal for a soup and sandwich of your choosing. Decor is modern and cosy and the space is inviting. Easily one of my favourites in north Vancouver.
The food is delicious, the place is cozy and the personnel is always friendly!
There are a lot of rainy nights in North Vancouver, this restaurant takes the edge off them. We have enjoyed many good meals at this location. The staff are welcoming and thoughtful. The food is hearty and tasty, without stuffing you. The only complaint is their short beer menu, the ones they have are good, but a longer list would be better.
The food was smoking hot tasted amazing. 10/10!
Great for comfort food. Never disappointed and reasonable prices. I got my usual Gooey Cheese Grillers sandwich and Straight Up Tomato soup. That sandwich is one of the best dishes I've ever eaten.
Their Cuban sandwich is comparable in quality to the ones I've eaten in Miami. ????????????
The sandwiches have shrunk without a real explanation, the waitress tried hard to convince me its been like this for more than a year which is a huge lie!!! They kept the price the same and just changed the size...pretty disappointed!
Delicious food. I order the French onion soup every time I go and it's always wonderful. This time we had about a twenty minute wait to get a table but once we were in, service was prompt. Tried the nachos Pollo, those were really good, good enough that sharing with two other people was a little difficult, could have eaten more.
Food is 4/5, but given the price it'd make sense downgrading to 3/5. For this price you may have an opportunity to get better food at some other place. Nice location though.
Perfect comfort food on a cold and snowy day. Cozy atmosphere and the live music was wonderful. Not too loud, and fit in with the relaxed mood of the restaurant.
Ordered takeout from Burgoo the other day. We ordered three orders of Mac and cheese and two of their chicken and apple sandwiches with soup on the side. The three Mac and cheese dishes were refrigerator cold. They hadn’t even been heated up. The two sandwiches were dripping with mayonnaise and the bacon was undercooked- so bad that neither got eaten. The only good part of the meal was the soups, which were quite good.
Waited over an hour for food, requested side plates that never came, we got up and grabbed our own. My mac and cheese was a garlic bomb, I couldn't actually taste cheese. My boyfriend got the Sheppards pie but he found it very bland, I also never received my salad. Low and behold they still charged me for it, which shows how much anyone there actually pays attention to their customers. No service whatsoever. Tables next to us remained dirty and not cleared for easily 30 mins and there was maybe 6 tables of people inside and 5 outside. The owner or perhaps the manager tried to explain that the day was crazy but that's not an excuse, especially when the place is half empty at 2pm. If your restaurant cant handle 12 tables you probably shouldn't be open.
Great location, cozy, delicious food, and the servers are always ready with a smile. The wait can be a bit long sometimes as it is fairly popular.
One of my favourite restaurants in North Vancouver.
Not bad, not great. Our waitress was also the bartender, and she was overworked, overwhelmed, and sinking fast despite trying her best. She was getting no help from the other waitstaff on shift either, who were masters of avoiding eye contact and dodging not-subtle attempts to get their attention. The food was good though, and the Manhattan clam chowder special soup was delicious.
Good food. I Enjoyed a nice Ratatouille full of flavor and well cooked. My family enjoyed there macaronis and the chicken pie. Nothing left in our plates.
Cozy ambiance. Service is great, close but not intrusive. Food is comforting, and tasty. Great place to eat alone, date, or with family.
I had the Mac & More. It was delicious. The smoked sausage was seriously smoked. I loved it in this dish
Best place for their soup and salad combo ???? waiters and waitresses are really friendly
Food was great, and restaurant has nice vibe and view to it. However my plate of macaroni and cheese took about 45 minutes to be served. Not somewhere to go when very hungry if you don't want to wait.
Service
Always good food with Burgoo. That being said, it seems like portion sizes have been getting smaller over time.
Very good service and the food tasted delicious. The amount you get for the price is worth it
I wish you could sleep there after.
One of the few 5-star local chains, hearty comfort food.
This is my favourite place to eat whenever I'm back in North Van for a visit. The brie fondue always finds its way to my table every visit.
Good food. Not too busy. Great ambiance. Lovely servers. I recommend the chicken and brie sandwich. My partner loved the ratatouille. Perfect lunch spot near the longsdale quay.
I quite like this cozy little spot and haven't had a disappointing meal there yet. If you're seeking good comfort food this is a great spot. The only reason I give it a 4 is I found the beer list a little limited.
Corn chowder and chicken is incredibly good.
Probably the best Mac and Cheese I had in my life.
Good and inexpensive
Great place! Stuff is friendly, beer is tasty and all foods are yummmyyyy!
They truly have "comfort food" and the setting is like a nice stone & log cabin up in the mountains somewhere with a massive fireplace. It's a great place to lose yourself after a rough day.
Good food and friendly staff. They do offer gluten free food with a good number of options. Food portions are very generous, perhaps verging on to large
Not much to say positively. There is no way this restaurant deserves the good reviews. Been there a number of times and all mediocre experiences. To start, the sangria portion was well on the small, yet expensive side. The sandwiches are all pre made so small requests for adjustments are not possible. For our group, all that ordered sandwiches were quite disappointed in the taste and the amount between the bun. The Mac and Cheese, times two orders, was dry and tasteless. The bisque was watery and lacked crab, I think there was three small pieces of crab in the soup bowl. I can say with confidence that we will not be returning anytime soon. There are a lot more other restaurants with better food.
Awesome food
Love it here!
Came here on a weekday in the evening and despite having only one server for the fully occupied place, I must say the service was surprisingly good. We ordered beef stew, pierogi with sausage, mash potatoes and ratatouille. Everything came hot and was simply delicious! Even thought we couldn’t finish our food it was hard to resist churros with hot chocolate fondue. But I would prefer to have a choice of chocolate for the fondue because not everyone can appreciate chili flavored chocolate (we didn’t). Overall, a good and unpretentious place for a comforting meal.
The best Cubano sandwich in the city. Pricey but worth it.
Great comfort food
Cozy place for a cold night. Great mulled wine! Excellent food and service.
I love the food and the ambience.
Delicious food, great service!
Cute and cozy restaurant with really yummy nachos. Excellent service!
Meal type
Severely lacking vegetarian/vegan options
The food, the people, the place. All Great. Yum
Good comfort food, but not quite worth it to me for the prices that they charge for sandwiches. Otherwise it’s still totally delicious!
good is very good. lunch hour is busy.
Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Love it!
Picturesque setting near the Quay. Thai soup was impressive, while the 'FAB' salad lacked slightly in flavour. Ample patio seating with sun and shade available. Excellence + comfort food = definitely worth another visit!
My favourite place to eat in North Vancouver. Great food, friendly servers, reasonable prices.
Great food, and excellent service!
Came here for lunch on a Monday, and it was surprisingly pretty busy, was taken care of right away. Staff was polite and friendly. The food was to die for!! I actually still have dreams about their mac and cheese. Definitely and amazing spot for comfort food in a cool atmosphere!
I stop by this place all the time for some comfort food. Rosie and Sky always provide excellent friendly service that keeps me coming back.
Food was decent but not worth the steep prices
The food at Burgoo is usually very consistent but tonight my husband and I got takeout. My Kale Ceaser salad was made from red and greenleaf lettuce. If you are out of Kale then let your customers know.
Very good, through VERY EXPENSIVE!
Burgoo excels in providing a cozy atmosphere, and classic comfort food.
Good food but to spicy. With less spicy sauce, all the flavors could be there, every flavor is hidden with this Xtreme spicy sauce.
I loooove Burgoo! They are the definition of comfort food and their meals are so delicious. My favourite thing to order is the afterschool special with soup and sandwich. They have very friendly staff and it was so nice to hear live music from the past with a modern twist! The reason why I leave four stars is honestly because the appetizers and "share" plates were abnormally small especially for the price (this place is a bit expensive). The Ceviche was made for ants it made both my sister and I giggle to ourselves for a couple minutes (even though it was delicious). Overall, great place, good food, warm comfort!
Food was great but had to wait a good 45 mins for it. Food great
A wonderful place for fine dining!
We were seated right away for a late lunch. Our server was very attentive and did a great job. I had the macaroni and cheese with added bacon and it was very tasty! My girlfriend had the BBQ pork & tater skillet. She said it was very good too! The decor and ambiance here is very relaxed and casual. I like it very much. This was my first visit, although I've been to the location on Main St a couple of times. Recommended!
Meal type
The wait here was very long. I found the menu a little limited in variety for my taste. The Mac and Cheese I got was fairly good, but a little pricey. It was an okay experience overall. Most of my rating goes to our very bubbly and eccentric waitress.
Cozy ambiance and awesome comfort food.
Tasty food and excellent service. What more do you need ...
It's good not great.
Great ambience. The food is fantastic. Great flavour and not too savoury. Can't go wrong with basically anything on the menu. I have yet to try something here that is sub par. I've been there multiple times. The staff are friendly and provides wonderful service. Seating is spacious and comfortable.
Best Mac & cheese in town. Cozy place with lots of tasty options from French cuisine. Love it.
Absolutely fantastic. Chicken pot pie and affogato dessert
Dinner
bit pricey but food is awesome
Delicious but expensive. Always busy. Make a reservation. Great cocktails. Like really really really great. Outstanding service. Nice decor. Nice atmosphere. Music just at the right volume to block out strangers conversation and yours can remain private.
Good food. Not great for the price
Nice cuisine, friendly staff. Highly recommended
Good experience here ! We had to wait 20min for our meal but they kindly offered us 2 desserts for that. The Waitress was really gentle and kind. Nothing to say except WE WILL COME BACK thank you :)
lovely and cozy spot with great ambiance and great food!
Great comfort food and great service too! it's a definite go-to for fun evening dinner .
I had an After School special (El Cubano and Crab Bisque). Both are amazing but the Crab Bisque is the best!
Service
Best place ever! Ask for the cheese macaroni, just amazing
Good food
Haven't given a one star for a while, from price to quality of the food. No ty.
Food was great. Service was also great. My only comments would be the chairs could be a bit more comfortable and options for smaller cutlery
Wonderful chicken pie
Service
Super friendly service, very clean and way above standard Covid safety protocol. They care about their customers. Great food too. Have to do a bit of work on the guacamole though. I'm from So Cal and it's almost as good but could be better. Everything else I tried was so so so so good!

Great cozy atmosphere. Prices going up and appies are way too small for the price. Btw soups are high profit margin.
Fantastic Service and Food
The best comfort food! It's a bit on the pricey side but still worth the price!
Tasty cheese n soups. Prices stay the same but portions are smaller
Great food
Great food and very cozy.
4 stars if there's not a crazy line! Great food and service though
Mediocre experience. Our server handed us the wrong drinks (there were only two of us). We thought that was odd considering he just took the order minutes prior. We each got the 'After school special' and once again the server forgot who ordered what when he dropped them off. One of our soups were hot, while the other was room temperature. Both soups tasted pretty good. The sandwiches were nothing special.
Inconsistent. Main location is better.
Service was very good. Food was unremarkable. Shephards pie didn't have much flavor. Mac'n cheese was good. Didn't really enjoy the live music interrupting our conversation at dinner especially since it wasn't very good.
I have never been disappointed with any dish here. Great comfort food on a typical rainy Vancouver day. The banana bread pudding was to die for but they took it off their menu for some reason.
Delicious ! Gotta go on a Sunday morning. Soup and Sandi combo is a must.
Dine in
Delicious comfort food and a cute atmosphere
A bit salty for my palette!!
It's all about comfort food here.
Great atmosphere. Fast service.
Always a good meal at Burgoo
One of my favourite places to go for a yummy bite. Best thing is soup and sandwich combos. Definitely worth the money as portions are perfect size; sometimes even enough for take home bites for later. The staff are super friendly, the right amount of attention to the customer.
Excellent food and drinks, timely service and good value for money!
I went to Burgoos tonight as well as 4 years ago and the quality of service and food is still A+.
Best tomato soup in the neighborhood.
Burgoo offers up a warm setting, friendly staff, and a decent variety of food. Could use a few more vegetarian options, but the staff and kitchen are more than willing to work with you.
Brunch
Nice place. Wonderful comfort food
Good place for comfort food.
If you are looking for comfort food that almost tastes as good as Mom's cooking, this is the place. Cozy vibe for a date or if you want to plan for a girls nite out.
I would say the dining here is average. The atmosphere and service were on point but the beer bourguignon was sub par. The soup was really really good, great flavor but the main dishes came up very average.
The corn/chicken soup is crave-able , the onion marmalade should be sold in litres Yummie
Great experience. Excellent service. Food was amazing, only a little pricey for the portion. Location is amazing. They got a mean Mac and cheese !
delicious food, good service, and great beer!
Friendly staff with great service, incredible food, and comfortable place to eat! Highly recommend!
The fondue didn't look like a fondue...
Nicest gazpacho I've had in a Canadian restaurant. The El Cubano sandwich was also very good.
You have to try the fondu!
This bistro is delightful! Great ambiance with great cozy decor. And the food...DELICIOUS. The staff is always lovely and really take the time to make your experience a good one. If you are in North Vancouver, it is a must-go.
Had an absolutely great time and very much enjoyed our food!
Meh. Food was ok but lacked taste. Nice people though.
We found this place when wandering around the Lonsdale Que area. It looked like one of those cool little diners so we decided to try it out. Good food and interesting decor
What a comfortable and hearty place to have a meal. The lighting inside is so romantic and rustic, the feel of this restaurant is enough to make any girl swoon (gentleman this is a fantastic date night spot right beside the Quay). Fonduemental, CHE (4.5/5): Delicious cheese fondue to start a meal, a pot of molten Gruyere & Emmenthal served with apple chunks, grapes and crusty bread. The sweet of the fruits and bread pairs well with the saltiness of the cheese. You can even ask for more bread if needed! Usually after all the fruits and bread, there is still a bit of leftover cheese which is delicious on its own, but a bit salty, hence the need for "dipping fodder". Macaroni & Cheese (USA) (4.5/5): So very decadent with the aged white cheddar hugging onto elbows of macaroni. This is so rich and flavourful, and definitely tastes more "elevated" than just cheesy macaroni and cheese, it's like the adult version of your childhood favourite. HANDS DOWN ALL TIME FAVOURITE: Chocolate Banana bread Pudding: Served in a little hardy cup, the warm, gooey, cinnamon and banana-y mixture with bits of melting dark chocolate chips is topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Honestly, what else can a gal ask for other than ice cream, chocolate and gooey? Do yourself a favour and if you just want dessert, it's worth coming here wherever you are just for the chocolate banana bread pudding.
I fell in love with this restaurant the first time I went to it! We tried the sour cherry cheesecake, It is no exaggeration to say that this is really the best cheesecake I have ever tasted! Not too sweet and greasy, but more fragrant ^-^ that is really unforgettable…!And the waiters here are also very kind and gentle ,which gave us a very comfortable experience .????????????
Have eaten in many excellent restaurants, in Toronto, New York City and elsewhere, so have some variety of experience. The owner and master chef, is a making machine of every dishes i have eaten here. Excellent presentation, fresh fish, great variety, excellent portions, super service! Couldn't ask for anything better and while Burgoo Bistro has other decent food establishments, we don't bother going anywhere else! Try it, you'll be hooked ;)
Service was slow, food ok
Best french onion soup around. Wish the menu had slightly more options on it though.
Great comfort food and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for damp, cold dark Vancouver days. Well, actually anytime! Best French onion soup!
Food has always great. They were very busy so we had to wait a bit for our server but she was friendly when we did get her attention.
Came here expecting a burger place but not a single burger on the menu. It's all comfort food and from the nachos to the several dinners my family had here, everything was amazing.
Dine in
Tiny portions and not worth the price, regret. $19 a dish and not even any salad or bread included....rip off. Also the beef came a bit cold, hope it was safely reheated.....could easily have added more potato on top. I'll just go to Costco next time.
In the Beer Garden, North Vancouver we placed a food order from Burgoo. We waited so long for the food so we decided to call Burgoo and ask for a refund. The manager talked with us and said that she can offer a dessert on top of the food. Because I had already waited so long . After a while the waiter came and in an unpolite manner dropped the food on our table with no dessert. The customer service and the food quality was very poor.
Yummy comfort food we enjoyed as it was chilly outside. Great customer service. Cozy ambience. The patio was nice too but too bad I felt too cold to sit outside.
Very nice food. Four point five starts. Great service and nice atmosphere.
Food was great
Food is reliably good. Very cheesy!
Don't expect to find many burgers despite the name. Really good food and beer selection though
Amazing food, really unstable tables
Dine in
Great tasty food.
Service
Visited here on a rainy, grey Father's Day, for brunch. The coziness and ambiance was so welcoming. Food and drinks were delicious, as usual. This was my first time to the North Van location and it was great.
Best comfort food
Rolled into Burgoo N. Van with no reservations at 7pm on a Thursday, and the place was packed. The wait time for our table of two was likely going to be an hour, but their fondues and Mac and Cheese dish would have been well worth the wait. We agreed to stay and stick it out as we'd had an awful day and were definitely not hiding it well. The staff immediately took notice of our red-upset eyes and near homeless dress and the lovely hostess squeezed us into a cozy corner within minutes (which was likely a reserved table). The waiter's caring service was phenominal and he treated us with the utmost respect even though were we the messy crying couple at table 7. If I could reccomend one restaurant in this entire city that TRULY defines the term "comfort food/service"-Burgoo nails it on both the fun and not-so-fun days. Thank you for everything. ????
Very cozy place. Friendly staff. Yammy food.
Food was delicious! Service was ok. Host was extremely rude when she took my number down wrong and tried to blame it on me
Love the soup, sandwiches and salad. Convenient location, so close to Lonsdale Quay.
French onion soup is to die for, and mussels are really good! Cozy atmosphere that is the definition for comfort. Cheese lovers get in line @ burgoo! Awesome soup and sandwich specials as well’
Nice patio area. Good sized menu selections. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Great location. Enjoy!
Perfect to bring back some warm in a grey Vancouver winter day. Amazing comforting food.
Mmm. The crab bisque, kale ceasar and a side of cheesy macaroni sure hit the spot. Also, my friend who has food allergies was taken care of really well. Delicious food and fantastic service. Thank you Burgoo!
Right next to the harbour, close to the seabus. Food was good!
Great food and service
Food's good at good prices, nice choice of both food and drink.
Besides the great food, the service really stood out. Renee was very energetic, fun and provided top-notch service. Overall, great experience. Recommend the butter chicken.
Comfortable, warm, friendly, delicious, everything a restaurant should be. Thank you for the wonderful experience including the heart on my Baileys' Latte at the end of my meal! Xo be back!
I was so looking forward to this place - been meaning to try it for so long! But the food was such a disappointment. I had the Mac & More and it was covered in way too many breadcrumbs (like a weird amount of breadcrumbs) and was very bland. Sucks that this place wasn't as good as I'd heard!
Good food, lots if GF options. Tasted authentic. Server was fun
Very good dining experience. Recommend that you try for relaxed casual dining.
Great food and service, good options for veg/vegan, nice location a bit off the quay, prices are resonable for the quality of food you are getting.
Foods are made by skillful chefs, but tastes average. Service is slow and poor.
Best, just best
Delicious food and great service.
Service was good, but we didn’t like the food :-(
It's a real shame they don't have fries but there soups are almost good enough to make up for it. The service was okay but the sandwiches really were incredible. I don't know if the sodas aren't refillable or if our glasses were just missed, but they should be refillable if they are the size of a double shot glass.
Best veggie burger in town.
Omg.. i ordered dos diablos and tomato soup. It was marvellous. Ultimate comfort food. They know how to make grilled cheese to justice. Portion was good too, i was stuffed by the end. I was also taking a lot with a friend and taking time. Nice cozy atmosphere.
We visited after exploring Stanley Park and taking the SeaBus across to North Vancouver this summer. We were seated outside without a wait and the food as well as service was impeccable. This place absolutely NAILS comfort food in a way that I haven't ever experienced before. We will be back!
Burgoo is a cute place to get amazing comfort food. The staff are super friendly.
Stunning dishes and amazing service
Good but expensive
Stopped here for dinner recently on a Tuesday. Despite the day of the week, the restaurant was fairly busy, and I did have to wait 15 minutes for a table for two. Once seated, a server greeted my table promptly and took our order, at which point our food was up in about 15 minutes, so great speed of service. Our waitress was friendly, as well. I opted for their soup and sandwich combo, getting their crab bisque and Dos Diablos sandwich, whereas my fiance got their Tasty Chicken Sandwich and mushroom soup. My bisque soup was very tasty, although I would have preferred it a bit creamier tasting and less tomato-y, but that's a minor nitpick. My sandwich was also plenty good, although I was left feeling that the sandwich could have had a bit more substance, namely more chorizo. Overall, a really positive experience, and I would gladly recommend this place to others. Do note that there are some parking lots nearby you'll want to aim for, as there isn't much in the way of street parking.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. That being said I usually come here for the Beef Bourguignon and the Mac-and-Cheese
Very poor service. Waited 15 minutes to get a cup of tea. Then another 35 mins for appies then another 30 + minutes for dinner… still haven’t got my food or more hot water. Don’t recommend this location.
Delicious and varied menu. Not overly pricey either, great spot.
I love this restaurant. I’ve been a few times while in North Vancouver on trips there and it’s always so delicious and has the most comforting food. Great, tasty food!
Nice ambiance and good food.
Delish.
Great comfort food, the French onion soup, baked before served, is delicious. Decent happy hour wine and great mimosas. Dos diablos sandwich is a highlight too. Service is okay, the first time I went it was slow but after that it became better. My favourite place in Lower Lonsdale.
Nice and cozy place to spend your lunch time :) There is soup+sandwiche combo you can order and it was just perfect lunch.
I've been a Burgoo patron for a while now, but this was my first visit to the Lonsdale version. Arrived right at opening time on a Sunday morning, and was pleasantly surprised not to have to line up. The server, Gary, was welcoming and gregarious, and kept our coffees always hot and full. The menu was no surprise to me, and my recommendation of the signature grilled cheese and tomato soup to my partner was received with rave reviews. The Burgoo was delicious, as always. I am pleased that the somewhat eclectic stylings of Burgoo are available just a seabus ride away from the bustle of downtown. I'll be back, for sure.
Super warm and inviting place. Party of 2 seated promptly, would recommend any od their soups!
Food was good. Chocolate banana bread pudding ????????????????
Nice pub atmosphere but very good food. A little slow but it is valentine's day so I'm still rating them very good.
Yummy food and great atmosphere.
Meal type
Always my favourite restaurant. Delicious comfort food and lovely warm atmosphere on a blustery day.
My kids and I love the food here. The Mac and Cheese is so yummy and the beef Bourgogne is delicious! My 9 year old is Celiac and I .always comfortable bringing her here to eat as they have a separate menu for those who have to watch what they eat!
Excellent food and decent selection in a cozy atmosphere.
Great food and cozy atmosphere. Love their butter chicken!
Pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. Had low expectations for comfort style sandwiches but it was really delicious and well made.
Good comfort food. Great date place. Great service.
Special thanks to our server ‘Sky’ for her awesome service, kindness and care. Sky checked in on us regularly, made some excellent food recommendations - we loved the experience! Ordered grilled cheese, tomato soup with caesar salad and spicy oven baked Harissa wings - all items were outstanding!! Highly recommend this place!
Delicious 'homely' food - soups, sandwiches etc.
Great food. Nice staff. Never had to wait for a table. Good for small groups.
Great Greek food as usual
Cute place to have casual eats. Service was incredibly friendly. Food was well prepared and tasty. Mac and cheese is filling and you get what you paid for. Soup + salad was tasty but a little over priced. Homemade lemonade is a must try. Would recommend:
I expected a better ambience. The place and food was not upto the mark.
Great food, would be 5 stars if you weren't so dead against fries - even frites maybe?
Good food, small quantities for the price.
Great food great service.
The best comfort food I've had in a long time. Really tasty and really good service. The location is really good by Lonsdale quay. Perfect spot for lunch. The food was perfectly cooked and had that home style feel to it. Prices were not that bad but not the best either. Totally worth it though. Very cool atmosphere and music. I will definitely be back.
Very much enjoyed. Super great vibe. Good energy. Delicious food. All in a casual setting. But not that casual where you couldn't have a lovely meal out with someone special.
Loved the Grains and Greens salad!
5 star experience from the welcome to paying your bill. Delightful server, comforting food, nice music, ambiance, all comes together nicely. Both my wife and I enjoyed very much our brunch date here, and based on other reviews, we should've stayed for dessert too. We'll go back for sure.
The food and service were excellent but for the annoying loud guy at the table across from us. Staff handled the situation professionally and managed to keep all of us happy.
A short walk from the hotel, we grabbed a seat at the bar and had the beer special, a grapefruit tinged beer (which was much tastier then it sounds :) along with the special of the night (a chicken BLT with cucumbers and homemade mayo) and the seafood soup. Great foot, great ambiance, and great service, we really enjoyed it.
Cool spot, pretty good beer and wine list, pretty good food, nice service.
Get the "After School Special"!
Service
Nice place. Good food and friendly service. Walkable distance from the Quay. In short: a good place to go in North Van!
Burgoo is my fave place for comfort food. Their soup, salad, sandwich combos are delicious and generously portioned. The crab soup with the dos diablos sandwich is my go to. Yum!
Great food, staff and service. Well be back again.
Best grilled cheese around. Good service
Excellent staff, delicious food! Love the atmosphere, so cozy!
Soup and sandwiches are awesome but quantity of sandwich is little smaller.
I love the food here. Servers are usually good, too. Sometimes the food is a bit salty. Live music on Sunday nights is good sounding, but usually too loud. My dad took out his hearing aids, and still found it too loud, and hard to hear. My ears were ringing a bit after and it was hard to talk. If you want dessert, order it with your main, cause if you wait too long in the evening, they might sell out!! Friends swear by the sticky toffee pudding, I prefer the spicy hot chocolate pudding. Yum!!
Good food. Service ok
Quite possibly the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. Biscuits are unreal. Beef Bourginon was really good. Best grilled cheese sandwich ever. Southern Corn chowder was rediculous. One person we were eating with didn't really like the burgoo but he's kinda a weiner anyway so i wouldn't let that deter you. Everything has been unreal that me and my wife have had in the 3 visits we have had there. Quite reasonably priced as well
Ordered ahead for lunch and food was ready 5 minutes after arriving. French onion soup is consistently good, and the biscuits were bigger and tastier than ever. Great spot, especially on a rainy Tuesday.
Comfort food to the max!
Food and service were on point. Love this restaurant!
Great place to eat, waitress was subpar.
Good fondue and chicken pot pie
Best soup and sandwiches in North Vancouver. Highly recommend on a wet rainy Vancouver day
Quite the selection! They even have a separate menu for people with allergies. Food was good and service very prompt.
Fun place, great service and tasty food
Didn't work for me, didn't really enjoy the variety of food option, and the food we got was largely uninteresting. They put a very large and loud young family in the middle of about 6 tables of couples. I won't be returning soon.
Meal type
Extremely very tasty food and people are very nice
More than disappointed to say that I chose to eat here on my one year anniversary.
Great jambalaya, the Burgoo Brew completes the meal.
Great little spot!
Had the gooey cheese grillers with the bistro salad.....was great....service was spot on
Best soup and best sandwiches I've ever had. I've probably said that before on other reviews, but this is really THE BEST.
Comfort food in this cozy place. Gone plenty of times and it's always great.
Great homestyle meals. Had the wings, Mac and cheese, and tomato soup. All were delicious. Will definitely be coming back! Great service even though it was quite busy. Food came out bubbling hot.
French onion soup Cheese fondue A+
Just go.. qaint confort food! Best french onion soup
I've loved this place for years. Awesome salads in addition to their regular fare. My bread was burnt this time so I would ask for it toasted lightly if you value the roof of your mouth. I will keep going back!
Great good and great service! A must try if you have never been!
Really yummy, and lovely people
The cheese fondue the bread board is one of my favorites from burgoo. Lots of comfort food... not so great of you are trying to stay on a Ketogenic Diet ???? I am a big fan of their grilled cheese sandwich with apple slices... who knew you could combine them....
Friendly and helpful service, good beers, the soup and sandwich combo is delicious. There was a wait for a table when we arrived, but we had our meal at the bar which was a pleasant experience. The bartender was good company.
Food was really good. The grilled cheese and the tomato soup go well together to dip in. Mac and cheese could use some more flavour.
Fantastic food my only complaint is the portions are small for the price.
Do yourself a favour and order the After School Special, with the Gooey Cheese Grillers and a Soup. I’ve not found a soup I didn’t LOVE at Burgoo, but I especially like the sunset corn and chicken. Oh, and don’t add bacon or cheese to the cheese griller. It’s perfect as-is.
Very nice atmosphere. Interesting and varied menu. Staff very helpful. Definitely worth a visit.
A+++++
The food was very tasty and servers were very pleasant.
Great comfort food. Awesome service. Good bar. Limited taps. New patio.
Great place for delicious comfort food!
Good food but pricey in my opinion
Great food, decent prices, highly recommended :)
Great service and great food. A joint known for their comfort food, and they pretty much nail it everytime. Big fan of their chicken pot pie. A must try, loved the ambience as well.
ALL GOOD!
Macaroni and cheese originally came out cold, after waiting about 45 minutes for it, so I was understandably disappointed at first, but as soon as I let the waitress know of the problem, she swiftly came back with a freshly made one. I would’ve been fairly satisfied at that point, but then she comes back and let’s me know that my dish is on the house due to the mistake, and that I had to pay for none of it. Good food, and amazing customer service. Definitely would love to come back here again.
A little pricey but excellent food.
Great food, highly recommend the mac and cheese
Nice atmosphere, food was great and our server was friendly and professional.
Good food/value/service
I didn't think I would ever consider paying for a grilled cheese, until I stepped into this place, lol
