My very first job at the age of 15 was at McDonald's. I…read moreloved eating the food then. I love it now. Making a McDonald's burger is a science. No, it actually is....literally. The only thing missing in every McDonald's is a microscope. That's the level of precision, and that's why they are the mother of fast food for 70 years. There are two types of McDonald's Restaurants. One is Clean and One is Messy, and no I'm not referring to its floors. I'm referring to how they make their sandwiches. From step 1 all the way to placing it in the bag. This one I like going to when I do decide to indulge in my very sinful fast food crave. Why? Every time I have ordered, it has been tasty, well put together and the proportionality of the ingredients spot on. So, you don't have a soggy, sticky, greasy, messy burger in a paper bag handed to you. I've tried several McDonald's in my area downtown, but they are outright scary. Too much sauce, greasy bag, 2-day old fries and burnt buns.....Yup. Scary. So, whenever I do crave it and I'm in West Vancouver I'll go here. I mean we all know it's not the best food for you, and you can't even speak of quality when it comes to McDonald's, but actually you can.....in a weird sort of way even McDonald's has varying standards and quality control across different stores managed by varying managements. So, why only a 4 out of 5 when it's the one I like the most? My Fries were not topped up. This time.

It wasn't really close to the highway so it took a while to get there and the parking here is a bit funky. Ordering was easy. We lucked out with a spot right by the door and the ambience of the McDonald's rival any other McDonald's I've been to. The servers here seemed very nice for some reason and we're very friendly and took my order. As expected at McDonald's, the food came out very quickly and very hot. We grabbed a table and ate at the restaurant in the meal was great and we were ready to continue on our trip to head home can highly recommend a stop at this McDonald's so party on

The turkey sub they made for me was probably one of the best Subway subs I've had in a long time…read more You know the saying, "The Art of Making a Sandwich?"...well....they actually made my sandwich like it was art. I've been to many Subways throughout the years, and sure they tasted fine but they were never perfect. It was either squashed, oozing sauce, stale veggies or all of the above, but this one was perfect. I asked for all the veggies and they were all incredibly fresh. The turkey was incredibly fresh. The bread was incredibly fresh. If you've read any of my other reviews you'd know I'm not a fan of exaggeration, so I mean this description literally. The sub I ordered was crisp, juicy, perfectly proportioned, fresh and it looked like an ad for Subway, and it tasted even better. It tasted and looked like the person who made it for me took the time and made the effort to measure, consider and place very carefully each and every ingredient and wrapping it in such a way as to prevent any kind of flattening of the 9 in. beauty.....(Yes, I like my Subway sandwiches). This one Subway stood out for me amongst the many many all over Vancouver.

I think with this place it's more the attitude, lack of effort and sloppy service that defines this Chipotle. Almost insulting. We ordered two bowls with steak and rice. The serving portions of both bowls were so off that you'd think that one of them was half the serving of the other. There was no one behind us but it was as if we were witnessing a chicken line running out of time. We asked for a cup of water with our meal and they said..."no cup of water, you have to buy a bottle". A restaurant that doesn't give tap water with their order....wow. That, I would have to say is a new species of crap service. The service reminded me of the cooks at the prison lunch-line counter....not that I would know prison lunch...but you know what I mean... The bowl didn't really taste like anything other than sodium. The steak was tough, overcooked, over seasoned, dry and extremely chewy. Interesting. I've gotten an overlying thematic experience with several Chipotles in Vancouver. I wish it were a good one. Yeah, I don't think I'll be going to Chipotles in this beautiful city anymore. #makeyourown.

I was originally planning to eat at a different stall in the Park Royal food court but then my eye…read morecaught sight of A&W and I remembered that I had recently seen an ad for these special key chains that are being sold at A&W right now. I had my eye on the Poutine Rooty keychain so I made a last minute decision to have lunch at A&W instead. I ordered a Mama Burger and a root beer for my mom, and a Crispy Veggie Burger combo for myself. We shared the fries from my combo meal. I really enjoyed the Crispy Veggie Burger. Love that it doesn't try to imitate the taste or texture of meat. It's simply made of veggies and has its own unique flavor. That is always my preference for any kind of plant based/ veggie burger. Just be made of veggies and taste good without trying to imitate the taste or texture of meat. I brought the Poutine Rooty keychain home for my daughter. She was very happy with it. Not sure how long they'll be selling these keychains so I'd recommend getting to an A&W to buy them sooner rather than later if you're interested. There are 5 different Rooty keychains altogether, including the Poutine Rooty.

FOOD The All Canadian Breakfast born in a different universe might have been named a "lumberjack breakfast" or the "kitchen sink breakfast", or the "really gram slam". Either way, there's something heart filling (or heart stopping) by starting your day with everything: two eggs, two sausage, two bacon, two pieces of toast, hash browns, and a couple of slices of tomato for fun. When it comes to the fast food chains, A&W seem to the be the only ones that offer a fuller, sit-down style breakfast with sunny side up eggs and the fixin's...and it tastes good too :) === 3. SERVICE & ENVIRONMENT In the Park Royal South food court, it's essentially taeout service and from that perspective, it's decent - reasonably fast. The environment is the food court, so it's open and spacious, able to accommodate wheelchairs and strollers unless you happen to come across a busy lunch hour. Parking is easy with multiple Park Royal parking lots from which to choose!

Right in the middle of Stanley Park adjacent to the Vancouver marina. There's a large outdoor…read moretent-covered patio area and it's pretty cool to eat in a structure built in 1911. Truffle Parmesan fries - steak fry size with an excellent coating of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese. Personally, I prefer shoestring, but these were still very good. The Royal Huntsman House made bison patty, royal blue Stilton cheese, Cajun Hickory, smoked wild, boar, bacon, apple chips, butter, lettuce, tomato, 40 Creek barbecue aïoli, charcoal brioche bun, choice of salad, or fries. The patty definitely could be bigger, given the fact that the rest of the ingredients are "big" and losing sight of what should be the featured layer was a miss. Otherwise, what an impressive plating and wonderfully composed flavors. The tangy blue cheese draws out like a blade and the bacon is to die for. Seafood Chowder Creamy style chowder, shellfish, steelhead, Pacific cod, potato, chive, crispy, bacon, served with baguette. This outdid even the Huntsman - a well packed chowder with generous bites (not bits) of all the above - there was more volume of bites to sort out than actually creamy soup. Incredibly integrated flavors and keeps amazingly well. A five star can't miss dish. Given the venue , ambiance, food quality, menu creativity (they even offered a lychee boba martini), I'm rounding this up to an outstanding five star experience. Next time I would try the duck poutine. Well done - that's all.

My mom and I stopped in for lunch while exploring Stanley Park. The restaurant is located near the…read moreAquarium and Rose Garden. We initially chose to sit inside, but it was hot and the box fan wasn't doing enough to cool down the dining room so we switched to a table on the patio. The tables had umbrellas, but some of them were positioned in a way where we couldn't adjust them. My mom tried her best to move her chair out of the sun so she could get some coverage from the umbrella. I had the Dragonfruit Breeze Mocktail which was really good and very refreshing! My mom had an Iced Latte which she enjoyed. For my entrée, I went with the Fish and chips. Unfortunately I did not care for my meal. The batter wasn't evenly cooked. Some bites were very soft and doughy while other bites were very crunchy. The fish itself was flaky and tasted good, but the batter kind of ruined it for me. I also didn't care for the coleslaw that came with it. I don't know what kind of dressing was in it, but it had a vinegar after taste that I didn't like. Midway through the meal, my stomach started hurting (perhaps from the oil used to fry the fish). Needless to say, I didn't finish my plate. My mom ordered the Mediterranean Bowl and she enjoyed it. I did not try any of it, but it did look good. Our server was polite, but not personable compared to the other tables in his section. He was attentive in the beginning, but towards the end of our lunch he completely disappeared. He struck up conversations with a gentleman from Australia at one table and a couple from the UK at another table. Meanwhile, whenever he came to our table, he barely spoke. At some point he completely disappeared and we had to flag someone down so we could close out. Apparently our server went on break and didn't let us know. It honestly seemed like he didn't let another staff member know because no one covered for him in his absence until we grabbed another employee's attention. Mediocre food and mediocre service. Stanley's is a convenient dining option given it's location in the park, but I would not go out of my way to dine here again.
