    Tofu tacos
    Jess S.

    I am so happy to have found this place because it's a goodie. Tucked in the Denman "strip" of restaurants, Frying Pan has a lot to offer (including a food truck). I ordered their Hot Tofu Taco (deep fried tofu, lettuce, pickles, house mayo, tortilla) and added the cheese skirt. Plus a side of their corn slaw. The tacos are huge! Crispy and hot, with a bit of spice! The tofu are huge chunks and perfectly coated with a light batter. The cheese skirt adds a salty cheesy crust. The corn slaw is a must! It's perfectly tangy and pairs so well with the tacos! Fast and pleasant service. The place was not busy but very clean. I can't wait to try more of their menu!

    "OG" Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Combo with Waffle Fries
    Steve A.

    Frying pan has an extensive menu, but the star item is their Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, which they call the "OG". It's the classic combination of chicken breast fried to a crisp brown, with spicy sauce, spicy mayo, slaw, and sweet pickles. It was as good as any I've had in Nashville. A word of warning, though: I like spicy food, but I would classify the Medium here as Hot, so proceed with caution. The combo is a good deal. It comes with a drink and a huge serving of wonderful waffle fries, also cooked to a perfect crispness. Service is very friendly.

    Super good! The chicken was very thick, fresh and juicy. I would have liked more of a hot sauce on the chicken but would get it again anyways. Had lots on the menu so would try their fry dishes next! The inside was fine, not too much of an atmosphere but lots of seats and close to the beach so probably more popular for takeout

    Yum! Finally got to try out frying pan. Was seated very promptly. Service was very nice but the food took forever to come out unfortunately. The food itself was great. The hot and sweet honey garlic chicken sandwich ($15.90) was massive and tasty. The chicken was still juicy and the sauce was great. I added the waffle fries combo for $4 - they're tasty but wish it came with more fries. My friend got the chicken and waffles ($15.90) and it was also delicious. The waffle was nice and fluffy. I got the blue lemonade and it was sweet and refreshing but it was a little pricy at $6.

    Chicken thigh burger with waffle fries

    They're quite a cheery bunch in here and have excellent service. However, I feel that the mainstays of this chicken joint, which are chicken burgers and waffle fries, leave something to be desired. It's not about the spices or the brioche bun or fresh cabbage, but I just feel that the chicken is overly battered and oily. The fries were more chewy than crunchy. Great location on Denman Street but I'll continue my search for a better place

    OG Hot Chicken Samdwich

    I'd read great things about the OG Hot Chicken Sandwich here and it definitely did not disappoint. You can select your spice level, I went full tilt and got the aptly named 911 Sauce, which was indeed hot but not melt your tongue off. Large piece of protein, bun held up against the Slaw and jice from the Pickles. There is a heck of a lot of other things I want to eat on the menu; like I watched someone next to me absolutely housing some form of taco with a fried cheese skirt. Menu envy achieved. Prices are a bit steep, $15 for the sandwich only, like $20 if you want Fries. Service was polite, bathroom was clean, lots of seating.

    Really delicious hot chicken! We were really hungry after a long bike ride in Stanley Park and we had been saving this place for that exact situation. It was relatively close (it is uphill so keep this in mind) so we were excited to stop. The restaurant is small but has plenty of tables to eat comfortably inside. We ordered quickly and the food took about 10 minutes to come out. It's definitely fresh as every bite you take released the steam from cooking. I ordered the OG Chicken extra spicy and in my opinion it was perfect! The cashier explained that the level below is equal to sriracha so try that out if you don't like too much spice. To coleslaw, house mayo and pickles definitely cut the spice down, but at the end I was feeling the tingle a bit which I didn't mind at all (actually what I wanted). The seasoned waffle fries were perfect and I loved eating them with the house mayo.

    If you love chicken, come here. Chicken tenders very juicy and flavorful, so good with the house sauce. Honey butter chicken was so yummy, half order. Lots of food and can be shared.

    I always forget how many hidden gems exist on Denman, and the brick and mortar iteration of Frying Pan is one of them. The fried chicken sandwiches were all very good--juicy, both the breast and thigh, soft buns, no skimping on the toppings. The mozza yangnyeom sandwich was particularly delightful; the sweet and spicy sauce also had a surprisingly pleasant fragrance of cinnamon. I didn't love the kimchi slaw on the padak sandwich; I thought it was a tad overpowering compared to the rest of the sandwich. The waffle fries were also quite good, crispy outside and fluffy inside, the mark of fries well done. The best part is that everything is freshly fried to order, and nothing left me feeling greasy/heavy. I'll definitely be back!

    Korean Yang-Nyeom Chicken Breast Rice Bowl (to-go)
    Maggie L.

    This is a hidden gem. My partner and I got takeaway from here a few days ago, our first time trying it out. I got the Korean yang-nyeom chicken breast rice bowl, and we shared some waffle fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly - it was crunchy, sweet, savoury and just the right amount of salty. There was a sweet, tangy teriyaki-like sauce on the lettuce & rice underneath which tasted awesome. The waffle fries were crispy & I dipped them into the egg which came on the rice bowl - yum! Can't say much for the interior decor as we took our food to go, but they were very helpful and accommodating with my peanut allergy (They use no peanuts in the restaurant apparently!) If you need a quick place to grab a snack while you're at English Bay beach, this is a great place to try.

    Can't ask for anything more when you combine freshly cooked fries with crispy bacon bits and stretchy cheese. Then drizzled with mayo and dotted with teriyaki sauce, you have the ultimate fusion poutine experience. The house teriyaki sauce really takes it to another level with its scrumptious umami flavour, really letting the dish shine and really harmonized with the othe flavours. Once you start eating you can't stop!

    Dirty Hot Chicken Fries
    Jacob S.

    Stopped here for a quick lunch bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised! Cute little shop with plenty of seating right on Denman Street. Was greeted right away by the friendly cashier working, and got great vibes from the staff! Ordered the Dirty Hot Chicken Fries because I was wanting to try something new and I think I found a new favorite dish. Even though it was a little more on the expensive side, the waffle fries pairing with the juicy breaded spiced chicken was heavenly. My wife and I scarfed down this platter so quickly we were getting weird looks from the other customers. I just wish we came into this restaurant with more room in our stomachs because I wanted to try so many different things from here. If y'all are foodies like my wife and I, we highly suggest giving this spot a try!

    This has been a bucket list hit for awhile as they incorporate an Asian element in their cuisine. They also serve fried chicken which we just love! We split a regular hot chicken sandwich and yang nyeom sandwich. We also got the smoked beef bulgogi fries and hot chicken tacos. First, the regular hot chicken sandwich was pretty good, both sandwichs had a huuge piece of fried chicken at the center, however they were both slightly dry which is always my gripe with chicken sandwiches as it's hard to get it tender and moist all the way through. Also, the yang nyeom style chickn sandwich has a slightly sweet and spicy sauce. I just don't think it worked well with the pickles as there was just too much going on. The pickles and the sweet sauce didn't make the best combination. Aside from that, we ordered the hot chicken tacos which were reaallly just average or slightly under. Chicken was slightly overcooked and garnished with slivered onions, green onion and topped with a spicy mayo. Though, my favorite part of the meal was the smoked beef bulgogi waffle fries. The beef was super tender, it was a subtle sweetness from the teriyaki sauce, house mayo and finished with sour cream. Overall, I thought all the flavors here worked really well with each other. If anything, i'd come back for the smoked beef bulgogi fries :)

I…read moreused to play Pokemon Go quite religiously but eventually that tapered off, so the event was a fun way to get reacquainted with the game. After walking around for a couple of hours, trying to entice various pokemon creatures into our traps (wait! is that vegan?!), one definitely tends to work up an appetite and this is where the star of our show comes in, WaffleLand Café ! A mere 10 minute walk from the Vancouver Harbour, walking into WaffleLand feels a bit like walking into a culinary pitstop on the way to Disneyland, a feeling that is no accident, completely by design. If you're a Disney addict like me, just having that theming is enough to serve as a subtle transport to a magical (some might say ..the *most* magical) place on Earth! There's just something about the whimsical nature of the storefront and within, coupled with little detailed touches that just serve to tie everything together. Honestly, I could end this post right here and I think it would still qualify as a complete write up lol but ... fat chance, I'm going to tell you about the food :), the food, the glorious food lol. Let's start by pointing out their completely separate vegan menu, I can never say enough about this gesture, it means so much to the community for so many reasons! You get to choose from a variety of waffles, most of them being sweet but not without some "sweet" (so to speak lol) savory options as well. My wife, being of the sweet persuasion, opted for the "Enchanted Forest" .. bananas, strawberries, almonds, a dallop of vegan cream and hazelnut sauce coupled with the thicker, fluffier liège style of waffle! Myself, being a savory character, I opted for the "Smoked Tofu Lover" with all my favorite things, avocado, hummus, smoked tofu, plus maple syrup and dusted with garlic sesame, coupled with a thinner, heartier norwegian style waffle. There's no wrong choices here, my friends! Plus, while I obviously had to put any low carb aspirations aside by agreeing to eat here, that doesn't mean I can't try to make smarter decisions along the way, with the fat and fiber content of my plate at least hopefully helping to slow my body's reaction to the waffle treat! We were both enamored with our respective dishes, just everything about them, the aesthetics, the flavor, the texture and super generous portion sizing! I regret that I neglected to take pictures of their drink menu as they had a great assortment of coffees, shakes, teas, cold drinks, cocktails and shots. I was really inclined to try myself an effervescent Duck Fart (I have issues, I know this....) but alas, twas not to be as the shot wasn't vegan due to Bailey's Irish Cream. So instead, I relegated myself to joining my wife in a delightfully sweet "Mickey in Waffleland", consisting of Grand Marnier, Tequila, and Tia Maria. Cheers! I love places that offer something unique, with superb character, a place with such a special charm that you're unlikely to find something similar elsewhere in your other travels and WaffleLand succeeded in hitting all of those high notes, a magical waffle experience, indeed!

He suggested a Benedict dish, but I'm not a fan of runny eggs. I had already decided on the El Camino poutine and plot twist....it also came with two runny poached eggs. Even so, it was still delicious, mainly because the yolk texture wasn't an issue with the crema on the dish. That poutine was an easy 9/10. It came loaded with cheese curds, pork carnitas that weren't dry at all, bacon, pinto beans, roasted pineapple for a little sweetness, salsa, jalapeños, pickled onions, salsa verde, cilantro crema, and spinach. The herb potatoes were seasoned so well too. All in all, a great last meal in Vancouver from the food to the service (even beyond Dursh, everyone was helpful) to the patio vibe. Great spot.
