    Blackened Chicken burger
    Bryan D.

    A rare, out of the way jewel in Richmond, BC, Canada in the more bizarre of locations. Boy with a Knife is found in an industrial area of the city where you would not expect a restaurant to be. I found it due to the shuttle I take to the office passed by a sign and I had to know what it was about. I have had both the blackened chicken burger and the miso mushroom burger and both were fantastic. They have also some of the best French fries I've had in a long time, opting to make them notable instead of the usual generic. The sandwiches are large, well made and dedecidely fresh tasting. If you are within distance I recommend giving them a visit or at the very least getting an order via Uber Eats or some other service.

    Open concept Kitchen
    Debbie W.

    I've always wanted to try this place, but never had a chance until last week. It was definitely a nice kitchen for the companies around that area. Lots of people go there for work lunch and work gathering. I ordered the Cobb salad with steak, it was a pretty big portion and I was definitely full. I liked all the ingredients in the salad especially the soft heart boiled egg. I ordered decaf coffee but they don't have anything decaf, which kinda caught me off guard. Most of the restaurant would have it. The kitchen is open concept, it's very clean however, you can definitely smell the meat on the grill. In terms of location, I find it's a bit out of the way and a bit hard to find. My GPS couldn't find the exact location, so I had to drive around a bit. When I got there, I really needed to change my baby's diapers. When I saw the stairs, I was a little put off because there's no ramp around, which is fine, I asked my friend to come out and helped me with the stroller. But when I got in and tried to find the diaper changing table, I was told that they don't have one. I guess it's not baby friendly after all. Given the style and location, I wouldn't expect it has one, however, I don't think I will go back with the baby, unless they want me to change the diaper in the dining room again lol.

    Saw this when i was searching for burger joints about 2 years ago. Was close to my old job but i was never allowed to "leave" for lunch time. They dont open late or on weekends since its in a business area so i never got to try. Finally got to go and tried their lamb burger with fries. Man.... it's so hard finding a good burger in the lower mainland, specifically in richmond. But this was amazing. It's no shake shack but its pretty bomb. The lamb was so moist and tender. The bun (and you guys need to know bread and me don't go together) was so soft. I think it was probably brioche since that's really the only bread i could consider finishing. This burger had a great combination of herbs and spices and didn't take away at all from the wonderful lamb flavor. The fries were shoestring which.. typically i dont like but these were good. It is kind of pricy.. the lamb burger was $16 but! I think it was worth it. This is a must try! The location is definitely unique. It's in a loading area sort of but the decor is pretty nice. It's even got a small deli on the other side. Plus its always a good meal when you smile from all the lamby burps u get for the rest of the day =)

    Finally got to try this place! It's hard to come by especially when they're only open for lunch on weekdays. This place is a little hard to find - do not trust Google Map, instead follow the signs along the road and you will see a warehouse with umbrellas outside! I got a miso mushroom burger and a pulled pork sandwich (around $15 each). I really enjoyed the bun they use and the flavours of the burger/sandwich. They were tasty (and a lot messy)! The pulled pork wasn't very tender, but flavour-wise, it was solid. A little more bbq sauce would have been great. The miso burger is EXTREMELY salty. I didn't taste any miso flavour, but I suspect the miso was the salt element in the burger. On top of the already salty burger was a layer of bacon, which made the burger more salty. The flavours however, was quite delicious. I ordered a side of salad and fries, but was accidentally given two salads instead. I wasn't even mad considering the salad was a nice refreshing touch that combatted the salty burger, but we found the salad vinaigrette too sour. Portion is quite big. Overall, food was average. The miso burger was way too salty. I was quite thirsty after the meal.

    Complimentary cucumber / mint water !

    Trendy cool new place by my work! I heard about it through a co-worker and I browsed on the website to check out the menu. I was so impressed by all the options that I just had to make a visit! There really aren't any cool places to go for lunch in our area that are within walking distance, except for this place! I absolutely hate taking my car out when I only have 30 minutes for lunch, but the fact that I could walk to this place sparked my interest even more On a thursday afternoon a couple co-workers and I hit up the deli area. I was impresed with the nice clean design of the place and the fact that they gave you complimentary cucumber/mint water (yum!). I ordered the oven roasted turkey sandwich that had DELICIOUS caramelized onions and cranberries on toasted sour dough bread. I saw on the menu display that in one of their sandwiches, they used sriracha mayo (which I'm a HUGE fan of!). I just had to ask for a side of it to add on to my sandwich! and man, I'm glad I did! that kick of spice along with the sweetness of the onions and cranberries literally hit the spot just right. Would I come here again? Hell yeah! Check out the photos I've posted to see how cool this place is! Next time, I want to order from the grill menu. Their crispy chicken sandwich looks CRAZY good!!!

    Cali chicken burger
    Kait M.

    Came here with coworkers. They have been big fans of the deli ever since it opened. Ordered the chicken burger and half the table ordered the pork belly quinoa rice bowl. The ingredients in the chicken burger were fresh. Liked the addition of avocado and sprouts. However I wasn't a fan of the kaiser bun. It threw off the bun to filling ratio. Way too much bun. Other guys also ordered the salmon burger and they thought the same thing. Coworkers who ordered the pork belly bowl were all super disappointed. Most of them had a hard time finishing the bowl. The pork belly was overlooked and too tough to eat and there was too much quinoa without enough dressing which ended up being pretty bland. Not sure if my burger was worth $16. We will probably all come back to give this place another shot. If anything, save half the price and order a sandwich from the deli.

    South American Steak Sandwich
    Stephy Y.

    We had their daily special which was a sandwich combo of your choice. Any sandwich in the glass display + small soup or small salad. I got the braised beef sandwich with the bisque while my friend got the salami proscuitto and the chicken rice butternut squash soup. I still like their salami procuitto the most. The braised beef was good too but the horseradish sauce was a bit too sharp for me. It did pair well with the bisque. So I was glad I went with those two instead. The better of the soup, in irrespective of the sandwich, would be the butternut squash. Note: Their closing time now is 2:30pm instead of 2pm. and I only realized after ordering that the grill section is at the back. Now I need to make another visit, which I don't mind.

    Rock House is located in the food court (inside the casino.) The burgers were really good and made…read morefresh to order. The fries were fantastic!

    Came here after a concert & was not disappointed!…read more PS I just started eating red meat about 2 months ago. What drew me was the potato onion bun. What kept me as a now repeat customer is self-serve ketchup, mustard etc, and the burger comes with a very sad 1/8 slice of pickle. But it's dill pickle so a little grace. Give bigger pickles!!! For me, I abhor any "house sauce" on burgers bc it's either 1000 island or chipotle mayo. Nope! I want my burger classic w ketchup, mustard, pickle. Bonus if I get lettuce & tomato. Well, they give you baby butter lettuce & tomato as well as "Rock sauce" (nope) and raw onion (nope). The burger was really thick: I'm guessing 1/3lb. It was made to order & took a LOOOONG time bc my friend ordered bacon on her burger (bacon takes a long time to crisp up on a flattop). But kudos on making everything to order! They give you a "side of fries" which was too much for me to eat, but equivalent to a fast food small. The bonus is skin on fries!!! Plus the condiment tower has ketchup, mustard, Asian hot sauce (NOTE: we need western hot sauce: I recommend Tapatio), malt vinegar, regular vinegar, Wing's plum sauce (IYKYK), and soy sauce. I didn't snap a pic as I was starving, but know it was delicious & filling. Delicious bc I cut up my pickle & put it in the burger...I don't know why so many burger places don't understand the savoury/tangy contrast of beef & dill pickles & why it's necessary (along with mustard to give savoury & tang, but then the sweetness of ketchup. It's simple & classic!) ...but I'm SOOO happy they had mustard packets!!! I went through 7 on my burger & fries (no ketchup on fries, only mustard!). I'm giving 5/5 bc burger was made-to-order (tho they should have asked how well you liked it cooked). There are a few missteps, but I think the quality was there. Yes, I had to custom it using the condiment tower, but that does not take away from trying this place! Come for the burger, stay for the gaming! LOL

    Do people in 2024 wish for the nostalgia of the 1950s?…read more Do today's TikTok bunch long for the 1950s? Or perhaps better yet, should I be asking - are people today craving burgers from 74 years ago? After all Johnny Rockets, came to town for a few years then suddenly up & left. I have fallen in love with Smash Burgers over the recent few years due to the high quality offerings of some really prime burger joints throughout Metro Vancouver. See my pix & review & look for Burger Crush, Mozza Burger, Blaze Gourmet Burgers, etcetera. Upon walking into 50s Burger, I was wowed by the decor & art. However, there was no music playing from the old juke box inside the restaurant. How can you not have the 50's hits of Buddy Holly, The Drifters, The Everly Brothers, Brenda Lee, Fats Domino & even Elvis playing in the background? Service was friendly & welcoming. The burgers, fries & shakes however, need some serious attention & work! To be honest if I compare the offerings here to other burger joints, it would be a bad matchup. The burger lacked that certain umph you'd expect after each bite. The fries did not excite me. Compared against the thin cut fries at Burger Crush & there's no competition The shakes we had were just ok - nothing special. Again for comparison sakes - try the Choc Shake at Crush Burger. I hope things turn around here sooner than later. Throughout Metro Vancouver, businesses & espacially restaurants are having a hard go at it. You must bring your A+ game into this business if you are to survive. I would seriously encourage those running 50s Burgers, to check out the competition!

    Would not recommend. Ordered a regular burger and Caesar salad. Burger was a 5/10. The burger to…read morebun ratio was off. The Caesar salad would be a 1/10. The lettuce they served was browning and looked sus. I hope I don't get food poisoning.
