Got the poutine, the lobster and the classic philly and they were all okay. It wasnt as good as i expected honestly. I expected them to be better but its alright. I got what i paid for. Cheers!

Viet sub 8/10

We came before a movie, just something quick and easy and the Viet sub was tasty and filling. The seating area is very small, but we got a table and waited for our meals. The loss of star was simply because we both agreed that the meat needed to be cut a bit more. It was one huge long piece and hard/messy to eat. The staff is very friendly and tries to accommodate a lot of people very quickly. It was an extremely busy time, right at dinner time, so they served us in to-go containers, as I guess some people don't find seats and need to eat in the mall.

I enjoyed a lobster shrimp melted cheesesteak ($13). It was basically a lobster roll with cheese. It was made with a nicely toasted hoagie roll. The filling was mainly shrimp with bits of lobster. I did enjoy the flavours of mayo, dill, and celery mixed in. It was a bit pricey for a snack, but I thought it was worth the splurge. I have eaten better lobster rolls elsewhere, however, this is a convenient location to fulfill your seafood sandwich cravings.

I didn't know there was an American Cheesesteak at Metrotown. We were shopping on Black Friday and were exhausted and hungry. We suddenly saw the giant TV screens (showing their meaty sandwiches with sauces coming out) at The American Cheesesteak. Its like seeing an Angel suddenly popup. Yes no kidding. We ordered the Frenchie and New Yorker. One with fries and the other with onion rings. I have to say both sandwiches were delicious. Lots of sauce and meat.Love their onion rings. All freshly made in front of you. The owner is very friendly. He even asked us how it taste. The American Cheesesteak is not located in the food court. Its hidden inside Metropolis below the Cinplex. There are about 4 or 5 tables. Decor clean. Good choices in drinks. Definitely will come back to try their other sandwiches.

The frenchie (sauteed onions, brie cheese, dijon mayo, balsamic reduction, & arugula)

When going to see a movie at metrotown I always go to american cheesesteak beforehand. It's super close to the theater and I have never had a bad experience here. One of my favorites is the frenchie. It comes with sauteed onions, brie cheese, dijon mayo, balsamic reduction and arugula. A different approach to a traditional cheesesteak. It is seriously tasty and is worth a try if you are feeling a little adventurous. $13 a sandwich it is a bit on the pricer side. However the sandwich is huge and left me more then full. I almost had trouble finishing it..... almost. Every time I have visited, the service has always been super friendly. For good food and service I will come back again and again. The only minor downside is the seating, it is a bit limited. Only a few tables and chairs. Other then the limited seating this place is great! American cheese steak definately wins out over a busy food court any day!

Took insanely long to make a grilled cheese and no one was in front of me. Also they had fries sitting out where customers could easily sneeze on them. Not very sanitary.

Philly cheese
Alex K.

Let me preface that my reason for this average review is due to the business model it holds. Had the philly cheese with mushrooms. Came to 11.55. Roughly 4 oz of beef with about 2 oz of provolone and about twelve mushrooms at a 1/8th slice. The mushrooms and onions were not noticeable. The baguette was good but the beef was just bleh. Had this place been a fastfood staple and offered the sandwich as a combo for a $ten, then it'd be decent. But Its not a memorable spot and i wont be going back. Probably worth a shot for anyone interested though, but my picture posted kind of paints the picture.

Classic Cheesesteak.
Clinton K.

I was basically gonna grab dinner with one of my classmates from school when suddenly he decided to bring the future Mrs. So we decided that we would head to American Cheesesteak Co over this place because I know for a fact that these sandwiches would be so filling that if they ordered a meal for that, they would be having a midnight snack of fries and a coke it was that filling. I ordered the classic because there is nothing like having the original.There was lots of beef and it was covered onions and provolone cheese. It was so messy that my classmates were picking up food from the wraps.They tried the New Yorker and the Big Shot. They enjoyed their sandwiches as it was literally loaded with so much food that they realized it was such a steal for the price. We managed to get water just because we were trying lower our calories. It is conveniently located on the 2nd level just across from Kawawa AYCE. This is the 2nd location in the AC Franchise as the original location is in Downtown on Davies Street. I was referred to this restaurant by the guys on TEAM 1040 Sports Radio where they first mentioned about this place. They seem to never disappoint me.

Poutine. Waiting for the cheese curds to melt....
Monika C.

I haven't had the best experience with cheesesteaks so I decided to try the poutine first. Wait time was a bit long but it might have been because they were still prepping the food items. Service was very friendly. The poutine was tasty albeit a bit on the heavy side (but when is poutine ever NOT on the heavy side?). Fries were crispy with just enough seasoning and relatively thick too. They looked and tasted like freshly cut. The gravy was a good consistency and I liked the slight kick that came from what I presumed was peeper. The cheesecurds took a while to melt and were pretty standard. The poutine was garnished with some... Parsley? It made the picture a bit prettier but didn't add much to the taste. Maybe next time I'll brave an actual sandwich.

Nice!!
La N.

Good deal! Onion ring is a bit dry but still yummy Have order New Yorker sandwich which is very nice

Top is a regular sized Philly $11 & bottom is the mini classic combo with fries $7.99

I came here with C and B on a weekday for milkshake and I was impressed. Their milkshake was not…read moreoverly sweet. Best of all it was the right consistency (not too runny and not too thick). I got the blueberry milkshake and it bad blueberry chunks in it. It was a nice treat on a hot day. I have also heard that their hot food is very tasty. They have sandwiches and tarts for sale during lunch time. I will be back for more.

Half eatery and half grocery, opens daily except sunday and holidays…read more Famous as outlet for organic and Avalon dairy. I came here to try their lasagna but wrong day for that, they are serving something else on this day, unfortunately that special of the day is only up to 2;30 and I came almost 3 pm. Aside from lasagna I came for the famous milkshake. I ordered ham, cheese, tomato and lettuce sandwich plus the soup of the day bacon chowder, I wanted to try the tuna salad but again its done so the server ended up giving a quinoa salad for free. Busy place considering its covid-19 era so only 4 person inside the store at a time. Few seating inside, the café is very relaxing and for some reason I felt peace and very calm. The only noise you can hear inside were the sounds of returned bottle glasses for milk while people putting them on cases.... Interesting displays and interior designs, since its family owned I can tell that most of the displays in here were things they had when they were kids, nice stuffs very interesting .Those memorabilias made me smile, that feeling a heart truly appreciated. The sandwhich I had was okay,the soup was very good as well, hot and creamy, the quinoa salad is just okay for me its just ordinadry but not bad. Heres come something funny, I placed an order and clearly I wanted a strawberry milkshake, but what was serve was plain milkshake, I believed this was an honest mistake so I did not say anything, it was good though but maybe I ill be best if its strawberry. Wifi is free as well as parking and lots of them no worries. Service is warm and very friendly...kudos guys.... Not bad for group,family and kids. B careful if you are using a GPS coming here, wrong street and turn ....I don't know why?....... I will still come back here and bring some friends.. hope this time I will get the right milkshake.

* The Definition of Torpedo *…read more Urban Dictionary has multiple definitions or "Torpedo": - To betray, backstab, diss, or punk someone with the intent of causing harm to their reputation. - When objects or people look beautiful from far away, but dangerous or ugly up close. - A long turd. The menu sounded promising (although overpriced for a food truck) with some nice classic sandwiches on offer. I ordered the "mumia" ($12) - which I have to assume is a play on Mumia Abu-Jamal who is from Philadelphia, home of the cheesesteak? Anyhoo... The description was very cheesesteak like with sirloin beef, pepperjack cheese, sauteed onions and peppers. The addition of garlic aioli moved away from the classic as did the usage of pepperjack instead of provolone. When I unwrapped the sandwich, I was torpedoed with an excessive amount of a watery oily substance dripping all over the place. It got all over everything - not in a good way. Biting into the sandwich was the next torpedoing. The bread was stale. I don't mean day old. I mean stale. Next torpedo: the beef was chewy, gristly, and very oily. The peppers were the best part - but they too were overly oily. Basically each bite gave you a mouthful of stale bread, a piece of oily gristle flavoured by an oily pepper and a drippy oily substance (perhaps a broken aioli?). I couldn't eat the bread. Tried picking off the meat and veggies to eat, but gave up as they were too awful on their own.

In other words, I feel torpedoed that this food truck is a torpedo that serves torpedos!

I've never seen these guys around Vancouver until I went to the food cart fest this past Sunday. I…read moremust say their logo catches your eye and if you say you've got epic sandwiches you've definitely caught my attention. There was a small line when I approached the truck initially but their service was quick giving customers their sandwich within about 2-4 minutes of order, not entirely sure what the standard is for food trucks but for me that's good. The lady up front taking the orders was very friendly and was happy to help answer our questions. They only offered a few options but what I had to try was the jerk chicken sandwich as I had stopped a girl just minutes before and attempted to waft hers. Again service was fairly quick and I receive my sandwich within a few minutes. I don't think the picture I've posted will do it any justice but this baby was a beauty. The bun tasted quite fresh and almost melted in my mouth, the chicken and enough spice and flavour and the rest was just bomb. It is quite filling I found which is what you're looking for, good bang for buck. Definitely gonna track these down every time I'm downtown. Amazing experience for my taste buds.

My…read morefriend and I decided to take a drive and I remembered Blvd Bistro was on my list of places to try for a while now. Traffic wasn't too bad, so we arrived in good time. We parked on a side street not too far away and noticed how friendly people were as we walked to the restaurant. Everyone said hello and smiled as we passed through. You certainly don't get that same experience in many other areas of the Lower Mainland. Because it was spur of the moment, we didn't have a reservation. We put our name down with the host and waited about 10-15 minutes for a table. The restaurant was a little noisy but not overwhelmingly so. We both had coffee, which was really good. I should've asked what kind of coffee they serve because it's not very often the regular drip coffee is this good. I was having a hard time deciding between the Blvd Blackstone Benny with maple bacon and the Smokey Brisket Benny. I ended up choosing the latter with a side of avocado and my friend had the Huevos Rancheros - he added a side of fried potatoes when he saw how good they looked on my plate. I took one bite of the brisket and I was instantly so glad I chose it. The meat was so tender and flavourful and I didn't even need my knife to cut it. It was phenomenal. My eggs were overcooked but immediately replaced with new eggs when I mentioned it to the server. The replacements were soft with perfectly runny yolks. She also brought extra hollandaise sauce. My friend's meal looked amazing, in fact I now have to come back just so I can have this dish. I wasn't able to finish my meal so I boxed it up to finish later. I will definitely come back here to try more of the menu items, especially when the coffee is this good. Makes me wish I lived closer!

The food and drinks arrived to our table at a good amount of time although, it took a little bit for the server to come take our order or to re-fill our waters. Maybe it was because we were in the patio area but the server was very nice. The food itself was really good. I got the breakfast sandwich. The brioche bun was soft yet crispy and the flavours were nice. My friends got eggs benny. They said it was good although the egg was not runny, rather a soft jammy egg yolk. If you like a runny yolk, be sure to let the waiter know. On the table they have a hot sauce, and that was delicious. It was sweet and tangy and had a good amount of spice. Overall, it was good and I would come back again
