There's a fast-food vibe ambience but the food isn't quick; I waited about 20 minutes for my food after I placed my order on the touchscreen at the counter. I'm not sure it was worth the wait. I got the "Chicken Bites Pile Rice" which was comprised of several crisp pieces of fried chicken thigh meat over rice strewn with radish, shrettuce, and julienned egg omelette. That in itself was fine - however the spicy mayo topping was excessive. It liberally covered the chicken plus there were generous lashings of the mayo underneath it. I tried scraping it off with a wooden spoon with limited success. "Medium" level of spice worked well for me. If there's a next time, I'd order it with the sauce on the side.

All dishes are served straight on a frying pan, which adds a fun and unique touch to the experience. They offer five spice levels, ranging from non-spicy all the way to Fire, so there's something for everyone. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and they use halal-certified ingredients. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and lightly battered for the perfect crunch. It also reminds me of Korean fried chicken. I went with the non-spicy and mild levels, and both were packed with flavor. The BBQ pulled chicken was especially impressive. It's so tender and flavorful it honestly reminded me of pulled pork.

Mom was reminiscing about some British restaurant that used to exist somewhere on the North Shore…read moreso I started Googling to see if I could find another place that might serve British food. Google told me about Queens Cross Neighbourhood Pub so we made a spontaneous decision to come and check this place out for our dinner. Mom ordered Fish n Chips, my daughter ordered a Caesar Salad and I ordered a Classic Queens Mac, minus the bacon. Honestly, I wasn't very hungry. I sort of wish I'd just ordered a Caesar Salad like my daughter, or even just shared her salad with her. Originally, my intention was to order light like her. However, when I found myself in the restaurant...it just didn't feel right to order a salad. How often do we find ourselves inside a British restaurant? Caesar salad just didn't seem like the right thing to order, especially not when my daughter was already ordering it. I felt like I needed to order something different so I could try more of the menu. Hence...I ended up with Classic Queens Mac. I ate about half of it, and took the rest home. It came with two triangular pieces of bread on top. The bread was tasty but honestly...I have troubles understanding why restaurants like to serve bread with pasta dishes. Unless it's a small serving of pasta, it just doesn't make sense to me cuz pasta is a carbohydrate...it's a very filling food already. I was so thankful though that my daughter wanted to eat one of the pieces of bread, so that left me with just one piece to eat. I tried a few pieces of the "chips" from my mom's Fish n Chips. Wasn't too impressed but then again, maybe I should have tried it sooner when it was hot. The fries had cooled down already by the time I tried. My Classic Queens Mac had plenty of cheese pull to it and I loved that they put tomatoes into it. I was also happy that they were able to accommodate my request to make the Classic Queens Mac without bacon. Some of their Happy Hour eats look very appealing so maybe we'd try to come here for a Happy Hour sometime. Wish they'd add a Sticky Toffee Pudding to their Dessert section!

Here are my thoughts: - Beef Brisket: Good. As far as BBQ in Vancouver goes, it's above average. The meat is tender, the right amount of seasoning, but the smoke isn't noticeable. - Pulled Pork: OK. I liked that it wasn't completely shredded pulled pork, It was "chunky" so eating it felt more substantive. I didn't think it needed the extra sauce - I felt it was overpowering the meat. - Cornbread: Bad. Didn't finish it. - Fries: Good. Came out hot and fresh, and plenty of seasoning. Service was straight-forward and it checked all the boxes. Overall, the food was generally somewhat better than average when it comes to BBQ in Vancouver, but doesn't compare to the subtle complexity of the BBQ from the Southern USA. It's probably unfair to make the comparison, but I feel it's important for visitors to have the right expectations walking in.

Needn't have worried as there was exactly "one" person there. Not a really positive sign. While we were in there, about an hour, three guys came in and a delivery guy delivered, that's it. Our server seemed distracted and uninterested, which is tough to fault, given the lack of things to do when the place is empty. The service was pretty slow even though there was no one in the place. The lovely K ordered the Wing special and a Caesar salad. Our server came and said they only had enough to make a small Caesar so she changed the order to a Spinach salad. They also made a small Caesar, and brought it as well. How do you not have makings for one of the three salads you have on the menu at opening? Shook my head at that. The pizza was also below average, I don't think they even make their own dough given its taste. There is no ambience at all really as the accompanying photos show. Overall uninspired, poor service and below par food. Hardly a recipe for success. Sad really, there is a significant investment in the place completely going to waste. We will not return.
