Garage Grille - Vancouver

Every drink is a mystery. Seems all the bartenders are learning. With a couple exceptions. Food is good. The regulars are some full time bar roaches, gives it a swampy feeling. Which starts to taste bad, after a while. Food is good, and place is friendly enough. Seems packed during the day.

The bartender was a sweetheart but the food prices are outrageous for the pitiful quality. I ordered steak bites $15.95) and a side salad $8.95). I was asked what temp I wanted my steak and I said medium. It may have actually been medium at some point that day but what I got was about 3 tablespoons of grey, shriveled, over salted jerky with super salty Texas toast. The salad was comprised of the leathery outer leaves of romaine, a generous handful of raw sliced mushrooms and a sprinkling of pre-shredded bag cheddar. It was pretty horrendous. The horseradish sauce side they gave me for the steak bites weighed more than the actual steak. Maybe it was an off day. Way off.

The buns were little buns along with the meat. Very few french fries. I have eaten here before and the buns and hamburger were normal size along with a nice helping of fries. I will think hard before i go there again.

Went to have Friday night fish fry .The customers and entire vibe of the bar has changed. The service was terrible. I was unable to drink my margarita. It was bitter with no alcohol in the drink. The fish was 15.00 with 3 small pieces of cod and the minimum amount of fries they could serve. It looked like a snack clearly not generous portion and no offer to purchase additional fish it's a Friday night fish fry. The server after serving us never asked if we needed anything. Never returned to check on us till we flagged her over . No malt vinegar, no lemon no cole slaw! The fish was hot and was cooked well. But that's the only good thing I can say. We will never go there again. I feel the owners have changed. And certainly a once crowded bar empty. there only other only a few young customers playing video games we were the only other customers.

Great place to meet friends. hometown feel comfortable sitting. pool table, pin ball, music and good food. all the elements of a good time! They have the best nativity on Thursday for dying! the breakfast is also one of my favourites. they have a grilled cheese I can order often.
