    Steveston Harbour

    It's been a while - 2019 to be precise. Good to be back? Absolutely! Kove Kitchen is situated on the waterfront in the beautiful & popular tourist mecca - Steveston Village. To be honest I couldn't recall how the food tasted here last time, so I was eager with anticipation of good things to come - I hoped! Well let me just say - dinner was spot on banging! Very tasty & delicious indeed. What to order - the Seafood Tagliatelle, Spicy Tuna Tataki Salad, & the Crab & Lobster Ravioli with Prawns. Skip the calamari (it was just ok) & the Gentleman burger. For burgers go with the Kove, Bacon or Cajun Chicken options. No WiFi here, Kove wants you to talk amongst yourselves. I wish Kove would play some music in the background via overhead speakers - it doesn't have to be loud, just subtle & would enhance the dining experience - in my humble opinion. I was so stuffed I had no room for dessert.

    Butter chicken poutine DELICIOUS!!!

    It was a blast to visit this lovely restaurant with excellent culinary in Steveston. Service was remarkable and offered by Lisa, who guided us to select the right dishes from the menu in order to avoid any exaggeration from our side. Portions are very generous, I repeat, very generous and prices affordable. We had the most delicious butter chicken poutine, bowl of borscht, chowder bowl, a gluten free brownie a la mode and two delicious bottles of white wine Wayne Gretzky..... highly recommended!!! We had a great time and it was the first but not the last time we visit.

    Spicy Tuna tataki salad
    Melissa E.

    Located in the heart of Steveston village! This cute restaurant was a perfect lunch spot on a sunny Spring day. Service was great, we had a few minutes to wait for a table and it was 1pm on a Sunday so not bad. They have a great outdoor seating area too. Menu was a good variety. We had the Kove seafood chowder which was so yummy. Chunks of seafood and a nice creamy base. This was delicious. Also had the spicy tuna tataki salad. The dressing on this salad was perfect, spicy sesame. Not too spicy at all but had great flavour and the tuna was fresh. I ordered the cajun chicken burger. The chicken was not dry as they can sometimes be, spiced well and the bun was fresh. The fries were the perfect amount of crisp and salt, totally hit the spot. My only criticism is its on the pricier side but I can understand as rent I'm sure is very high being right in the village.

    Fried Chicken and Butter Chicken

    Quiet place for a date. Came in at 2pm with my hubby for late lunch. You cam never go wrong with their Fried Chicken (so crispy and generous portions). Butter chicken was okay... we'e had better elsewhere. Overall, a good place to try if you're looking for a place to eat in Steveston!

    A nice restaurant with a great location. I really recommend sitting on the patio if you can, the view of the water is gorgeous! Kove Bolognese ($22) a nice portion with a super yummy sauce! Loved the flavour. Calamari ($14) super crunchy and well cooked. Loved the chipotle aioli sauce that came with it. Spinach, Crab & Artichoke Dip ($16) very rich and creamy. A little bit too heavy for me but my mother enjoyed it.

    It's too bad this place is sort of out of the way so you don't see it when you walk past. I guess they've been here for years and we just never knew. Good location, ok menu. The issues we had were.. on the menu it said brioche or pretzel bun.. we were not given the option, everything came out on the pretzel bun. Maybe our bad we should have said but usually if it's a choice you get asked. Next, the half fries half salad.. I asked for half and half, both are a $0 upgrade.. so.. why was it $4 for the fries as an add on? I would have gotten yam fries or onion rings had I known this! Then we got one small thing of ketchup and while initially service was great, once they started to pick up it took a while but the girl we did ask for ketchup was back in a hot minute with it. The burger itself... if you're going to put spicy on anything.. you should say that. I don't love chipotle mayo. The burger said kove sauce, fine.. next thing I know there's this spicy mayo on this overcooked burger that's hard and black on all of the edges. The fries were the saving grace. The salad should never have been served with no dressing, we had a bit of a running joke every time we'd eat some of it because you'd get the entire leaf, no one chopped anything up at all(which is a pet peeve of mine- it's salad, you shouldn't need a knife for this)

    Creme Brulle

    Enjoyed a Happy Hour here and it was great. Their Happy Hour choices came in huge servings. We ordered Chicken Wings, Calamari, Onion Soup, Creme Brulle, Truffle Fries and Kove Burger. I particularly enjoyed their Strawberry Margarita too. We will surely be back.

    BEAUTIFUL PATIO ALERT crazy how we have missed this years before! Right in the heart of Steveston is Kove Kitchen! They have a beautiful patio with such classic and delicious menu items! Including speciality items created by their Ukrainian chef! * 2X bacon cheese burger ($20.29) ~ look at this masterpiece. It's a pretzel brioche bun and it doesn't taste like pretzel so you don't need to worry about the super saltiness from most pretzel buns. It was super delicious the meat was juicy, bacon was crispy and it was amazing! The bun tasted so good because it had a Smokey taste to it. Fries were good too just wish it was more crispy. * Mushroom perogies ($15.95) ~ this is created from their own Ukrainian chef fresh daily, the mushroom perogies were filled with a generous mushroom filling, it tasted fantastic! The sour cream is a must with this dish! * Red sangria pitcher ($21.95) ~ can't go wrong with a nice refreshing pitcher of sangria. Lots of fresh fruits were refreshing and crisp! It was nice and sweet too a good mixture of wine and fruits. * 9/10 ~ oh this was delicious I can definitely see myself coming back here to enjoy their patio this summer! Food was great! Wish the fries were more crisp. * 7/10 ~ it ain't super cheap but it isn't outrageous expensive. The portions were decent. The most expensive thing was the alcohol aha. Total bill before tip; $87.90 * 10/10 ~ patio, 2 levels, social distanced tables, info gathered, mask required indoors.

    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.

    I've been here many times. They have a happy hour 3-6 pm. The brunch here is amazing !!…read more Good variety of drinks including cocktails / fresh juices / milkshakes. Everything we've ordered is super flavourful and perfectly cooked each time. It's usually not too busy even weekend lunch / brunch time. Restaurant is really cute and has soft upbeat music. In the picture is chicken + waffle , and Avo Benny. The daily juice , and a mango yuzu soda. This time I also saw they have $10 Bennys from 9-10 AM !!

    I was wrong to doubt this happy hour sizes here…read more It was a great value and price point. Between 4 people we ordered one of everything and an extra fry and gravlax. I will be coming back for my highlights: oysters, triple-cooked garlic fries, london fog milkshake. Eating here got me wondering why other places didn't take the time and care to triple cook the fries lol I have had duck wings before but I gotta say, these were a fairly big in size. I just wished there was a bit more sauce! BUT OVERALL, I would order it again. It's located in Steveston B.C, they are known for sourcing locally grown ingredients and their playful rotating menus that change as the seasons do. All their fries are chopped in-house. love the attention to detail and care. It's cozy inside, reservations are appreciated and can be done online. - - - [ ORDER UP! ] Oysters Galore - Fresh, briny goodness! Oyster Shooter Flight - Take a shot... of the ocean!
