    We were looking for a Happy Hour spot with an outdoor patio near UBC's Point Grey area--and found this hidden gem - Burgoo at Point Grey! Burgoo has several locations around Vancouver, but this one feels especially cozy and central. We've always enjoyed their sandwiches, and this visit didn't disappoint. The Chicken Pesto Melt with kale Caesar salad was absolutely delicious--my go-to favourite and still highly recommended! We also explored their Happy Hour menu, which offers a great BOGO deal on starters (2 for 1): * Pierogi - Cheesy potato dumplings with smoked sausage. Bite-sized and packed with flavour! * Garlic Shrimp - Sizzling prawns with blistered tomato served with toast. So tasty! * Chicken Karaage - Crispy and well-seasoned. Slightly dry but still enjoyable. * Dicky's Dumplings - Hearty pork and shrimp dumplings. Great texture. We ordered the Fresh Mango Cooler (non-alcoholic) to pair with our meal--super refreshing! We also enjoyed the local draught beer at the outdoor patio. Whether you're a UBC student, local, or just passing through, Burgoo at Point Grey is a great spot to hang out. Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! Price: $20-$30 each person (Happy Hour) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: There is paid parking on the street, and many 2-hour free street parking in the neighbourhood. Tips: * Perfect comfort food. * Offer Happy Hour Deals from 2 pm to 5 pm daily. * Offer a sandwich & soup/salad combo. * Ample patio space - dog friendly * Great location - can easily access parks and the beach. Return: Yes ‍

    Overpriced and snack sized "stew" restaurant. Parking is available on the side streets. Not sure what the interior theme is supposed to be. It feels a bit like a Middle Eastern place with the rustic wooden trim and chairs. Most of the posters on the wall are of Pakistan. Except last time I checked, burgoo is an American/Irish style stew (from Kentucky of all places). Staff are friendly. Continuing the point above, there is actually not much burgoo available here. I was scratching my head at the menu. A couple of items might count as stew, but most of the menu are actually soups, salads, and sandwiches. Honestly I'm not sure what the theme is supposed to be. I ended up getting a mac & cheese. It was decent, but the portion size is small. My friend's chili was also small. Honestly it wasn't worth the price. I can't really recommend this place. Lots of other options in the area.

    Was on that side of town while vacationing Vancouver and wanted a nice place to sit on the patio and have a small lunch. This place was perfect and everything was great, from the service to the drinks. The patio was clean and organized when we got there so no complaints whatsoever.

    Cute comfort food eatery. Very warm atmosphere, from the design of the inside to the friendly service. Because the place is relatively small, it's probably not a good idea to bring a large group, but it's a nice place for a smaller hang or even to chill by yourself. I have been curious for a while and just tried it with some friends. I probably will be back. They have a great drink menu with lots of specialty cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks. I got a nonalcoholic pineapple guava soda. I don't like drinks that are too sweet and this was good for me, but some people might find it weak compared to commercial fruit sodas. I got a soup and sandwich combo as my entree with the Eggplant Caprese sandwich and the Crab Bisque. I really liked this take on a caprese sandwich, and the baguette was very fresh and soft. The bisque was very good too. Rather than being a super creamy bisque, this was more tomato-based and a little tangy. Good flavour with a fair amount of crab meat. I also liked the little side of coleslaw that was included in the combo. Wasn't really planning on getting dessert but then I saw they had a Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding, and I will rarely pass up on bread pudding. It was delicious but, as you might expect from bread pudding made of banana bread, with ice cream, with caramel sauce, VERY rich and heavy, and I had to get some help to finish it. I think this would be ideal for splitting between two people. For this meal, with tip, I paid $48, which surprised me. I thought it was a good meal, but not $50 good - I'd associate that kind of price with a more upscale experience than this. I can understand the soup and sandwich pricing, the dessert was a little expensive, but what really strikes me as obviously overpriced would be the $8 soda. I understand it's made in house, but it was just a fruity soda - no fruit bits or anything fancy, and no alcohol. It was a nice refreshing drink, but for $8 I wouldn't say it was worth it.

    Always in the mood for some Burgoo-ey cheese! We came at night but they always have their after school special of soup and sandwich. Absolutely hit the spot! The gooey cheese grillers (with tomato) was so decadent. Mozzarella, Gruyère, ementhal, cheddar.. looks like they used everything in the fridge! So good when you dip that in their tomato soup! I had their el Cubano which is braised pull pork, spicy capicollo with cheese and mustard. Really delicious on its own but when you dip it into the crab bisque. That's next level! Their take on comfort food is something you have to try!

    After school special and mac & cheese.  So good!

    Absolutely loved everything we tried at Burgoo. The elote bites appetizer is so good that I didn't want to share it. Also has the "after school special" which is an amped up grilled cheese and tomato soup. OMG--so good. The mac and cheese was also tasty. If you have room for dessert the churros are killer! We hit this spot a couple of times while we were in town visiting. Really recommend this place--the waitstaff was great and they have outdoor seating as well.

    Mac and Cheese

    This is a good place to get some comfort food. The food presented well and was very tasty. The Mac and cheese was very flavorful and the cheese stayed stringy the whole time my daughter at it. It was more food than she was planing to eat. My wife order the kale salad and salmon bahn mi. She loved it and when I looked up, it was all gone. I had the full kale salad. This was not in the menu anymore. I had seen picture of the full spinach salad so when it came, I was a bit surprised it was not as big as I thought it would be. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. The service was slow as our server was rarely to be seen. She came to take our order but only after I signaled to her that we were ready. The food came out and was brought out by another server. We ran out of water and I had to ask for our server to bring us more. Overall, we enjoyed the food but the service was not good.

    The only thing holding this review up is the French Toast. By far one of the most delicious things I've eaten. However, as for the food, massively disappointed. Soup was separating weirdly. Salads and sandwich were soggy. Was expecting much better

    Comfort food
    PennyandRusty P.

    Burgoo is the place to go to when you're craving some real comfort food. Pretty much everything on their menu spells out dishes that warm and fill your belly like mac & cheese and chicken pot pie. They don't just focus on one region of cuisine either... they have Mexican, Thai, French, British, American, etc... as long as it's comfort food, you'll find it here. While they have 5 locations around town, this visit was to their Point Grey location on W 10th Ave. We wound up ordering the Beef Bourguignon ($18) prepared with red wine braised beef, caramelized pearl onions, carrots, and mushrooms. With a type of stew like this, you need some type of carb to pair it with and we opted with their Homestyle Mashed Potatoes ($4). Next, we added the Kentucky Burgoo ($16.50) made with slow-cooked lamb, beef, smoked ham, lima beans, corn, molasses, tomato, okra and served with a warm white cheddar and parsley biscuit. For an additional $6, we got another 4 biscuits and it was well worth it. We added a Burgoo Lemonade ($3.25) and a Tall Mango Cooler ($3.95) to complete our meals. The beef was beautifully tender and the pearl onions gave it a slightly tart flavour. The buttery and creamy mashed potatoes was really a good pairing choice for our stews. The Kentucky stew was similar to the bourguignon and so filling. The stews are filled with rich and tender meats If you're in the mood for some comfort food (and who isn't?), make your way to your local Burgoo. What's your favourite comfort food?

    Amazing chicken pot pie! I'd definitely order this again.

    A restaurant without a sense of service. Karen's on staff. When people become complacent is no excuse for bad business

    This place is special. We were a little frustrated after being ignore at the last place we stopped…read morefor breakfast and I wasn't sure what to expect when we pulled up here - it doesn't look like much from the outside! But the reviews were good and it had a big menu. Walking in, we were greeted with a table filled with fresh baked bread for sale, and a display case full of cakes. The server welcomed us in - they were quite busy, but there was a large empty table in the middle of the room that we were able to sit at. I think the server's name was Cass - but I can't quite recall. Once she learned that it was our first time there, she gave us the full run down: All the bread is made in house The cakes are all Grammy's recipes, which she taught to her niece All the meat is cooked or smoked in house and - ham, turkey, beef etc The menu is large - almost overwhelming, but in a good way. Almost everything comes in half or full. I can't imagine anyone finishing a full meal here - their slogan is "bigger is better" and they really mean it. None of us were able to finish our meals and were left with the perfect amount for dinner later that evening. I ordered Whole Wheat toast with my breakfast and I'm not kidding when I say that it was the best toast I've ever had. I definitely would have bought a loaf to take home but you have to pre-order that one and it's only available on Thursdays :( Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back!

    Guys I'm sorry the food was so good that by time I remembered to take the pictures i had devoured…read morethe entire meal. Excellent portions and homemade breads. This place is one of the best "hole in the wall" restaurants I've been too. I definitely recommend. Staff are amazing and ready with suggestions just in case you feel overwhelmed by the amount of good options on the menu. .
