Such a great spot. It's a pink, ramshackle, tiny corner cafe with warm, welcoming staff and the most delicious food and reasonable pricing. Funky 50's vibe with booth and bar seating. The coffee was hot, fresh and never ending. The Boss and I were looking for breakfast while the twins were serviced, and pulled the trigger on this gem. We both had the TSC Chefs special, and it sure didn't disappoint. Ample portions, crispy hash-browns, Smokey bacon and delicious sausage with the best house hot sauce I've ever had. If you get the chance, don't hesitate.... This place is a treasure. read more

Food was great, Ive been searching for these kinds of ma & pa cafes, old school cafe dinner foods. Service was quick, the son runs the front floor, fast with the coffee & water. The interior ambiance is old but clean, nothing fancy but 60', 70's feel. read more

Retro vibes, this is a good diner for grabbing an inexpensive breakfast. Staff was friendly and topped up our coffee, although I found the coffee too watery. I had the eggs benny, it was only $10 without meat. The eggs were poached soft just the way I like it and there was a lot of hollandaise sauce so I could dip my hashbrowns in it. read more

Great place for a breakfast. Loved their pancakes. This is a small restaurant which reminds me the 80's and their customer service is amazing. read more

Great old school diner. Affordable, delicious food, mushroom stools at the bar, arborite table tops in the booths. Everything is perfect. Breakfast, burgers, BLT's, everything you would expect in a diner menu. Try my favourite; chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes, gravy and frozen mixed vegetables. You'd swear your grandma made it. read more

Great food and super nice staff. We got seating super quick. Would definitely recommend!

Truck stop cafe is amazing atmosphere.. food is fantastic. Price point is awesome

Recently changed owners. They have kept it the same. Only wish for them to open at 8:00 before work to get breakfast. No other breakfast places in the area. There's a potential market for them. Make a good breakfast sandwich and coffee special. read more

Great service, classic diner menu with lots of variety. Great neighborhood feel. Good coffee too. read more

This has been a favourite for years now. It's increasing popularity though has yielded a wait time during their peak hours, whether it's during the lunch rush on weekdays or throughout the day on Saturdays. Also, it's not a very big room so there aren't many seats to begin with. Nevertheless, if you're patient there's nothing that'll disappoint, if you're looking for breakfast fare or Chinese Canadian staples. There's no washroom, but the prompt food and service make up for it. (Eat with the utensils they provide if you haven't washed your hands.) read more

The casual family owned restaurant has been a staple of my eating pleasure for many years. It's a shame that more and more family owned restaurants are closing due to high rental costs. I hope you take the time to visit and enjoy a good home cooked meal at a reasonable price. There is free parking in the back. You won't be disappointed. read more

Solid, laid-back diner with a menu that ticks all the boxes. Daytime hours places are always fun for a night owl like me, but I wore my King of Takeout crown and got breakfast one day. French toast and a vegetarian omelette. The French toast was well-made, but came with cheapo condiments. Veggie cheddar omelette was meh, not a ton of flavour or cheese. Potatoes it came with were not as crispy-fried as I wanted them to be. But I got a thermos full of filter coffee which was perfect. Very friendly staff and a nice family vibe, and super duper cheap, so I won't complain too much. read more

It's a truck stop cafe. Very easy to miss when you're driving on Clark Dr either north or south bound. Western and Chinese cuisine available. It's a three star, but a very enthusiastic three star. It's family run and if I were to take a wild, wild guess, they live in the upper part of the building too. The day I came here, son(?) runs the front part of the business. He seats you, brings menus, brings food and clears tables. The rest of the family cooks in the back. Overall the prices are very cheap for what you're getting. See pics. Entire meal under $25 tip in. They know who the regulars are. The son(?) asked whether I lived in the area or not when I went to pay. He's a very, very pleasant guy. Very mature for his age and soft spoken. Recommended for cheap eats. Don't come here expecting anything fancy. It is what it is. Parking on side streets. VISA/MC accepted. read more

Old school, cheap, and good. Real regulars go here and I doubt there are many more places like this left. There is nothing gourmet or artisanal here... just a cheap breakfast and an old school grill,.. not even many windows.. I wonder how long the property will last but it is in the most odd location,.. and that is why I like it. read more

Tucked not-so-quietly off the side of Clark Drive in East Vancouver, the Truck Stop Café is a great option for a fast and cheap meal. What the café lacks in feng shui it definitely makes up for in menu selection and no nonsense service. The menu items spanned the globe - with options ranging from roast beef to chinese noodles to lasagna! The breakfast selections were impressively diverse - and the portions ample. Prices were reasonable. You're definitely getting trucker diner fare, with prices to match. Coming in under $5 - including tax and tip - is an easy feat. The bathroom at the TSC left something to be desired - mainly sanitization. We're assuming that most truckers are accustomed to highway side portapotties. This bathroom was definitely on par. That said, the rest of the restaurant was neat and clean. And there were bursts of decorative flare here and there- including a stuffed big bird doll in the back corner, illuminated trucker themed art, and a dusty old milk shake machine. The neon green menus added a splash of color to the room. Our service was attentive and our coffees were refilled promptly. Truckers must like to keep to a tight schedule, and most customers seemed to enter, eat, and leave in record speed. There's no energy wasted here. Forget garnishes, extra smiles, or a good hot sauce selection. The Truck Stop Café keeps to the bare minimum on all counts - but when you're in the mood for food, fast and simple - this place has got you covered. Sadly, if you are looking to rub shoulders with real live truckers, you're better off heading to the Husky! Highlight: Diverse menu selection. Lowlight: It was too hot and humid! read more

Can't beat these prices with this food. It's hard to find a true hole-in-the-wall like this nowadays (probably because of Van's sky high commercial real estate prices) so its refreshing to help out a mom and pop restaurant like this. Food consistently greasy spoon excellent. read more

It's your standard greasy spoon, but if you just want a chill spot to grab a bite it's decent. I come here for a cheddar bacon burger and fries for $5.95. And a root beer float for like 3.95. Try it out! Great, friendly service too. read more

Truck Stop Cafe - Bacon Cheddar Burger $5.95 - Cafes Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Can't go wrong. Classic diner with tasty, nicely cooked diner food for a really great price. Good, fast, pleasant service: it's family run place I'd say, and they're nice people. Burgers and breakfasts are good, clubhouse too, French toast looks awesome. Not fancy in any way, just tasty: eggs are cooked perfectly, bacon is nice, burger patties are made in house, veggies on the sandwiches are fresh, etc. And lots of food for your money. Bang for your buck is among the best in Vancouver. If you're looking for some pretentious nonsense just go somewhere else. If you do actual, measurable work for a living and would like a large tasty traditional breakfast, check it out. Coffee's way better than I expected too: usually that's the weak spot at old diners but here it's hot and fresh. Food comes out quick, so you can do it up on a standard lunch break. read more

You won't find his place cruising around looking for a hot spot for a date. You'll find it because: a) you drive down clark drive everyday aka you're a trucker b) you live near by (like me!) c) you are a trucker looking for a good time This place has it all: - cheap eats -- you can find a decent meal for around $5 - ghetto decor -- lots of pictures of trucks and trucking stuff - interesting cliente - i'm not sure where these folks come from but I only see them at the truck stop cafe in the mornings or late night bingo sessions This place is rad if you only have pocket change for a meal and don't wanna wait 45 minutes for breakfast on The Drive ...*ahem Havanas* read more

I come for breakfast here. Get the daily paper Coffee is always full Service is great, food is fast and good. All this at a great price. "Yea dig" read more

I couldn't be more clear about anything; don't eat here. It's old, it's dirty, it's rundown, the food is horrible, but the staff are nice. The food tastes cheap. It looks like there's dirt and grime that has been there since they opened (which was a very long time ago). If you do happen to eat here, my thoughts are with you. read more

This is by far the best burger i've ever had. They make whatever you want. I once ordered a double bacon mushroom cheese burger with a side poutine and it was AMAZING. They make their food with love and pride. extremely friendly family atmosphere. Delicious strawberry shake. Tastes like a real burger and shake tasted back in like the 50s. nothing weird added to the beef. my grandmother used to work in a diner back in the 1960s. She said it tastes EXACTLY like it did back then. Classic diner food at a very good price. oh and their spring rolls look homemade and are SOOO GOOD if you order them make sure to order a few orders not just one :) I wish i found this place sooner. This is a real gem. I'm keen to try their chinese food. But i can never find myself ordering anything but that delicious burger with a poutine lol. read more

My favourite old school diner for breakfast. Awesome place for bacon and eggs, pancakes and omelettes. Prices are cheap! Coffee is really good too, surprisingly. I haven't tried the burgers but they seem to be very popular since I saw a lot of people ordering them. Fries looked amazing. This place is not fancy but it is old fashioned goodness that is rare to find these days. This place is a gem. The family that runs this place is top notch. read more

I'm a small town girl and I love a truck stop diner. It's simple, affordable, home cooking. The family that owns/runs this place are lovely, hard working people. My boyfriend and I love this place. We've never tried anything other than breakfasts/sandwiches/burgers (which are all really good) but one day we will. We live in White Rock now but journey all the way in for some Truck Stop Diner food. Note - I love watching the truckers come in and order Salisbury Steak to go. read more

Love this place for family brunch without the hipster crowds judging me for bringing babies into a restaurant! Great staff will remember you after 2 visits you're a regular already read more

My favourite restaurant in town, great friendly service and a very vast menu with more items than any other greasy spoon restaurant of this caliber. 100% family owned, you will see the same staff every day working hard for the people of east van. Very busy during the lunch rush during the work week for good reason, this spot draws a good cross section of working class people and is a pillar of the Clark drive industrial community. Their burger patties are made fresh daily, they don't make milkshake machines like the one they have anymore, their omlettes are the best around (properly folded, not a bunch of stuff scrambled together) and although I am not a huge fan of their chow mien (the noodles are very soft), their daily Chinese special is the most food you will get for ten dollars anywhere in this city, unless you enjoy packing in two or three bons breakfasts at once, which does get to be a bit much if you do it too frequently. Not feeling grease? No worries. They have the biggest bowls of udon I've ever seen too. And nice salads. Lots of options for everyone. read more
