We came here for brunch and was surprised by the massive portions! I got the Champ's Club on sourdough bread with salad and it was a thick 3-layered sandwich filled with turkey, lettuce, tomato and bacon. I highly recommend this option!

When traveling my family and I love to try out some local places away from tourist spots. We found this gem of a place called Dylan's. The waitresses banter with the locals and familiarity and friendliness was a pleasant touch. The breakfast food was delicious the prices reasonable and the service was excellent. I would recommend this place and if I ever find myself in the area again I would go back to this place for a meal or two. read more

Our first time was a winner. Plenty of good coffee, decent eggs, crispy bacon, affordable and free parking. Sugar and I will be back Hip music and fast service. When you want breakfast at noon, try it!! Beats McDonald's and all the other drive thru marine drive fast food spots read more

Great portions, better prices, and best service! The Breakfast Special (my wife's choice) was almost as large as my Dylan's Choice breakfast but a bit less expensive. Both were great meals, with great value. Ambiance is funky, but fits the restaurant to a T. Always an excellent choice, and in my opinion, better than the restaurant above Northern Lumber. read more

Really good good. Love their breakfasts. Staff is friendly. Feels like a family diner.

This is a local hidden jem of amazing food. Impeccable service. You really need to come and see for yourself - your taste buds will thank you read more

The place had a great old neighborhood charm. The servers were attentive, got my coffee refilled twice, and the portions were great. Their hash was just the right amount of crunch and saltiness, yum! read more

Nice little hidden gem, came across this place when visiting a friend. Glad I did, I can't wait to check o it what else is on the menu.

The service was outstanding and the food was really yummy. I would highly recommend checking out this breakfast spot.

The lady that works in the front and as the server is an absolute gem! She was very kind to us even though the restaurant was busy and she was the only one working. Food came quickly after we ordered and was delicious! Will definitely return! read more

I just moved into the neighbourhood the beginning of June. There isn't a ton of options around here and was glad to hear about a local diner. Went for lunch the first time and we both had burgers. Really tasty and fresh!! Great value and were delicious. The fries were great also. Our server was really friendly as was the other staff. Went a second time this week for breakfast and it was awesome. I had the simple bacon and eggs and my buddy had the corned beef hash both were great and the hash browns were fantastic. Definitely will be coming back again soon. Overall it's a great clean local spot with good prices and really friendly staff. I cannot recommend it enough!! read more

Amazingly crispy fries in the Poutine. Server provided fabulous service to all customers, especially going above and beyond to assist elderly customers. read more

Excellent service and excellent food and reasonably priced. Friendly, clean establishment and great selection

Ordered their daily sandwich and soup special for $8.66 after taxes. Food was okay. I did not find either the sandwich or soup that impressive. Soup was mostly liquid with very little veggies or barley. It had some herbs and tasted bland. Sandwich had ham, tomato, mustard and mayonnaise. Combo comes with a pickle on the side. I asked for sourdough bread and I am pretty sure I got white bread instead. Ambiance is a cute little diner with brightly coloured decorations. The server seemed overwhelmed running the front end of the restaurant by herself. I did get my food quickly. The place was really busy so perhaps I should have ordered their all day breakfast special instead as it seemed popular. I prefer Cafe Classico for the sandwich and soup combos for about the same price. read more

I think some people are being a bit too harsh on their rating of this place. What are you expecting, a 5 star restaurant? This is just your humble neighbourhood, all day diner. I liked my stay here, it has a good atmosphere. The service is really good - the lady is very nice. :) Need more places like these. read more

Sorry this restaurant is very dirty. The waitresses hair is flying everywhere pls put it in a pony tail. We sat down to have breakfast and after waiting about 10 mins we had checked out the menu and we were ready to order and she said "it's backed up in the kitchen if you want to leave you can" so that's exactly what we did. See ya. read more

I've gone a couple times on the weekends for brunch, and the breakfast special is always a hit! Very good, and made fast. Best part of the place is that it gives you that older local neighborhood feel and reading a newspaper in here is must, so put your phones down. I will continue to stop in as I pass by on Cambie street. read more

As the new (and self-crowned) Miss Marpole, I've been having a lot of fun finding new local haunts. It's a tougher challenge than when I lived in Gastown and fell over cool places every day. So I'm pleased when I can find a little gem like this! Cheap & cheerful, this isn't going to blow your mind in terms of food, but it's clean, it's good, and it's delivered with a smile and for less than $10 a person. Located in a tiny little strip mall at the bottom of Langara Gardens, this little family run joint is by no means glamorous, but it was a great place for me to have a rainy-day breakfast with my Dad today. Plenty of comfy tables and booths and clean, we were greeted immediately and told to sit anywhere, and the coffee was quick and plentiful. The menu is standard diner fare. I had the "Pancake Supreme:" 2 buttermilk pancakes, 3 eggs any style, and bacon. The pancakes were ENORMOUS - I ended up taking one whole pancake home, and 2 eggs would have been just plenty. My dad had the Western omelette, which he thoroughly enjoyed, with good multigrain toast (you just can't beat good toast). The server was a little on her guard with us at first and gave a bit of a snarky reply to my dad's request for Splenda, but I complimented her on her nails and after that we couldn't get her to STOP chatting to us, and she was very attentive. I also kinda like it when you see the cook come out from the kitchen to greet regulars. It makes you feel like this is a neighbourhood joint, you know? The clientele here seemed to be a mix of really old people, construction workers (there is a huge development just down the road at Cambie and SW Marine) and students from Langara. There was hardly anybody there when we were in, but I'm told it can get busy. The pllace is only open until 6 - just breakfast and lunch here. But if you're in the area and looking for breakfast, I'd take this over the nearby Denny's anyday (and I love Denny's. No, really.)... read more

I'm giving five stars for the breakfast and service, since I've never had lunch here. In my opinion, they have the best hash browns in Vancouver. (Shredded and fried on a grill rather than chopped up fries dropped in a deep fryer). Their all day breakfast special is a great deal and their omelettes are fantastic, large, well prepared with fresh ingredients. I have been going to Dylan's for 5 years and never had anything other than friendly, competent service. Sometimes when they it gets busy the server may be rushed, but I've never seen evidence of rudeness to me or other customer mentioned by another reviewer. All in all this is a great little hole in the wall restaurant with great food at a reasonable price. Good coffee too. read more

Family owned and run. Can't ask better for a neighborhood diner! Love the staff. They can get pretty busy but the seats are comfortable and the food is good. They have a large menu and it seems like most is made in-house, including great soups. Expect things like club sandwich made with real turkey pieces (not lunch meat) or daily specials like liver and onion. The burger patties are frozen patties, so try something else! Prices are fair, no complaints really! Try the all day breakfast, can't go wrong with that. Just don't forget it's a neighborhood diner not an organic gastronomy restaurant. read more

Small dimly lit café. Needs light! Nothing fancy. Breakfast all day. I always forget something here when I leave. The menu needs to include more of a variety including vegetarian options. Meals are around $10. Service is average. Food is average. Overall very average. The paintings on the walls are nice :) read more

French Toast is precisely to my Spec: not oily and So Much yummy cinnamon. Great service and nice energy; thank you, Yelp for the find...

Great little breakfast spot, good food and value. Always friendly and relaxed. I personally enjoy the Denver or Western omelet, super tasty. read more

Went here based on the high stars. Unfortunately the food was bad. Greasy eggs, raw pancakes and coffee that tasted like it had come from a vending machine, The service was good and I liked the music they were playing but we came for food. read more

The most rude service I have ever had. The woman behind the counter was rude with every customer. She was short and snippy and seemed to be in an incredible hurry despite the place being relatively empty. She also walked away from several customers while they were ordering and seemed to have no patience for any pause, from customers, before or while ordering. She also shoved my food at me (in a to-go box) when it came. Service was just as rude from the same woman when I came here about a year ago. Burger and fries was $11 and was only so-so. The only reason for the above positive review, that I can see, is that the owner/operator favors regular customers and treats new customers horribly. She does have a captive audience, but I would suggest going to Oakridge Mall, despite the distance. read more

Great place for all day breakfast. Diner style.

Went there last weekend after a night of drinking and the food was excellent! Classic diner experience, which is why we tried it in the first place, with a nice 'unassuming' feel. Our group had brunch, and I had the 'lumberjack' (classic breakfast with 2 eggs over easy, hash browns, toast, sausage, and bacon). Really, really good: the sausages were the best, the bacon wasn't too greasy, and the hash browns were some of the best I've ever had! I don't know what spice they put on them, but they are just awesome! Everyone else was happy with their meals; tried my girlfriend's burger, and it was really good - not greasy at all, with a real hearty flavour. Will definitely be back! read more

Tiny little shop with a $5.50 breakfast that some friends frequent pretty often. Had scrambled eggs and they were pretty average, but what really surprised me was their ridiculously delicious hashbrowns. Make sure you try the hashbrowns! read more

Nice casual place for breakfast. Came up from Seattle for a weekend visit and enjoyed the "American" breakfast.

Love this place=). I've had everything on the menu by now and have never been disappointed. The breakfast /brunch menu is simple but consistently executed to perfection. This is my go to place for pancakes as ive yet to find any restaurant that can even compare to Dylans flapjacks . (Just can't order them from 12-1 pm). also really enjoy the lunch specials which will always guarantee food for comfort. Every soup I've had has been phenomenal. I feel lucky to have such a solid and reliable diner so close to Home with many options to accommodate any appetite . read more

I've seen this place come up on Yelp before but there were no pictures so I didn't know what to expect. Just tried it recently after seeing some pictures online and it is as good as it looks. We've only tried the eggs benedict and the omelettes, both of which do not disappoint. The service was nice although dreadfully slow. In fairness, she did give us a heads up when we walked in. She said the kitchen was backed up by at least half an hour. Well, she wasn't wrong as we waited about 45 minutes for food. I'm guessing there is only one chef in the back. If there is no one else in the restaurant, this place is a 5-star for me because then the food comes out in a reasonable time and it is a great diner experience. read more

This is a very fine little "diner". The soups are homemade and great. The food is made from scratch. It tastes like someone cared when they cooked it. Prices are very reasonable. Once you find it, you will be converted. read more

Avoid this place at all cost, unless you enjoy having terrible customer service. The worst is when the old tanned woman is working, the one with the dark hair, she's absolutely terrible and extremely rude. I dropped by here a while back with my girlfriend, about 45 mins to closing, we were greeted by this woman, whom we already weren't too fond of, who proceeded to audaciously ask us "Did you need something?". She followed that up by also saying "because we close in 30 mins" which first of all was not true because they actually closed in 45 mins, being 16:00 as it posted on their store front and everywhere else. The was she greeted us was so incredibly appalling and disgusting that we then decided to go elsewhere and not put up with whatever problem this woman obviously has. This was also not our first time here, we wanted to be regulars and actually enjoyed both the food and service (kind of) when she wasn't there. That being said, we avoid this place at all costs, even if its only a couple blocks from us, we will drive ANYWHERE else to get breakfast because we appreciate not being treated with disrespect and not being spoken to condescendingly. read more

Good enough food, but the only server\owner? East Indian lady looks far too jaded, and mildly friendly, maybe risk some money by hiring more staff? read more

Went there for breakfast on the weekend. There were 2 or 3 other customers in the place. I was thinking about pancakes and told my companion. The waitress must've heard me because she said that if it gets busy, I can't order pancakes or french toast. She didn't say why. I thought that was odd because I think they're fairly easy to make as long as there is a griddle or flat top. I've only had breakfast there and it's an ok spot. read more

Nothing special in the menu. Also, they need to renew their meals because they dont have everything that they offer.

Nice quiet location, often a very quiet restaurant. The sandwiches and soups are delicious. Almost everyday, they have a special half sandwich and soup deal. However, the portions are rather small, and they are expensive. Maybe it's all about the location. read more

I agree, this is a great place to chill and relax and talk with good friends. It is quiet and good food, fair prices, good coffee and very nice service/chef. Funny location/area, in the bottom of those big retirement home towers at cambie and 57th. read more

Where to start: I went a few times to this place. First 3 times, I thought the food was sub par and the service was really bad. On the fourth time, I ordered to go. When I got home I found the red dye on the wax paper in the to go box, had rubbed onto the eggs and the eggs were covered in red. That was pretty discusting. So, I called and let them know in a nice way. The wife whom I think is the owner, starting yelling at me on the phone and called me a liar and insisted that it was not true. I had pictures to prove it to her but I decided not to worry about it. Months later, I happened to be in the area and ordered a burger with no mayonnaise on it. Of course, what did I find? It was dripping in mayo. I called and let them know. The waitress who answered the phone was nice enough, but the owner wife gets on the phone and again starts screaming at me and calling me a liar!! This time I was close to the restaurant, so I went in to show her. Little did I know, the scene that I was about to experience was the most abuse I have ever had in my life. She comes out and starts screaming and cursing at me even though I have the burger to prove it, she makes a complete fool of herself starts going off in the most abusive behavior I have ever witnessed. She even took it one step further and threatened to kill me!!! and said she knew where I lived. I had said or done nothing at this point except in a calm and courteous manner complain about the food.. Since then, I have reported this incident to the police. I have seen the husband who is the cook on the street and he as well has threatened me and been verbally abusive. He even told me that he wipes his food on his butt! I know others who have had extremely bad service and found hairs in there food... Not only do I NOT RECOMMEND this place but I am pursuing criminal charges.. I only hope that no one else ever has this kind of experience anywhere. These people are psychotic, unsanitary and don't deserve your business... read more
