Very delicious and lots of food served on my plate! The wait was about 15 min a lot 10:30am ima Tuesday, so that was really chill. The street side makes parking (only 1 hour) a little harder, but I'm the neighborhoods is fine. The interior seats like 45 pretty packed or 30 comfortably. Our love belt mint green table is right in the center of the restaurant with three chairs so it was hard to get around. Food omelette was amazing! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Lots of tomatoes and arugula. I love the added goat cheese ! Breakfast spot I know is good now. read more

This was the first time at their new location. Looks good! The food as usual was great. The service was fantastic. The server was enthusiastic about everything we ordered which was awesome. I wish we got her name. She was the only server on the patio at 11am on Canada Day. Wait - bill says 'Megan'. (For manager Hugh's reference) - he was also awesome -he spoke to every table (a first that I've seen at red wagon - I've never seen anyone help anyone before, much less speak to tables). We'll be back! read more

Great little place for ALL DAY breakfast & ALL DAY lunch. There is usually a wait but depending on how many in your party, it can go relatively quick. The staff is super nice and it's a super cute little place. Great for brunch; you can get baileys & coffee or mimosas. Recommend trying the pulled pork pancakes -- but weird off first look but it actually tastes great! You won't be disappointed and will leave feeling full & happy! read more

Wow. Better than expected. Last minute decision to change our breakfast plans and we ended up here. Friendly service was nice on a early Saturday morning. The frittata with caramelized onions, goat cheese and basil was melt in your mouth. House made potatoes were delish. Hubby had the pork belly and loved it. He also had a vodka Ceasar and said it was the best he had. Place lives up to the hype. read more

Been a long while since my last visit to Red Wagon. Stopped by this past Tuesday. I decided to get their special of the day: Duck Confit Leg with Green Onion Pancakes, eggs, and Rocket Salad. My friends chose the Super Trucker and the Back Bacon Eggs Benedict. The Duck Confit Leg was quite delicious and flavourful, as were the Green Onion Pancakes. The Super Trucker has always been one of my favourites - that Crispy Pork Belly and Pulled Pork is bomb! The Eggs Benny was good as well. read more

I have been there many times. Their pancakes are my favourite. The bbq beef brisket is also great, tender and moist. The only thing make it not perfect is because of too much bbq sauce. If I order again, I will request lighter sauce. Their sausages are served as form of patty, not links. If you don't like toasts for your regular breakfast, you could substitute with a pancake. Bonus: Their staff are very nice and attentive. Smooth scrambled eggs Generous real butter read more

It was a packed Saturday, and plan A- Yama Cafe- was closed because of the holidays. Suddenly, I realized that despite having previously lived in the area for a year, my boyfriend and I still haven't paid a visit to the Red Wagon. Sure enough, it was packed when we got there. A friendly waitress quickly put us on the list and we got a table after 10 min or so. The wait for the food was a bit long, but this was understandable given the crowd. Boyfriend ordered a Breakfast Bahn Mi with pork belly while I settled for the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. I wanted to grab a Mimosa as well, but decided not to. Next time, for sure! My eggs benny was phenomenal. The eggs were perfectly poached, hollandaise creamy and rich, and the salmon and arugula rounded out the entire dish. I loved the homefries as well. I could have easily eaten another side of it, haha! I had a bite of my boyfriend's sandwich without the meat, and I can confirm that it was just as good as the subs you find in Vietnamese restaurants- if not better. I wish they had a vegetarian/pescatarian option so I could have grabbed one myself. He said that the pork was crispy with the perfect amount of juice. We will definitely be back soon. Red Wagon exceeded all expectations! read more

* Hipster diner * A diner for hipsters. It has all of the feel of a classic diner, including the menu written with what looks like an old typewriter. The items on that typewritten menu have a bit of a modern twist to them, and the customer base seals the hipster deal. That said, the service was extremely friendly and VERY attentive. While they weren't a wisecracking middle aged waitress ala Flo (bonus points if you get the reference), they were polite and very attentive. The pulled pork sandwich was served on a nice Portuguese bun, and had good flavours (although I would have preferred a bit of a smoke flavour as I think they likely just stewed the pork with a nice BBQ sauce). It was topped with some slaw which gave some texture and served with a side of fresh cut fries. The fries were oversalted, but that happens at many places. Overall a pretty good sandwich.

A must-eat if you're in Vancouver! I'm so glad my cousins took us here during our visit. The 7 of us came on a Monday around 2, and there was no wait. The place itself doesn't look amazing, but it definitely gives you that homey, diner feel. Service was good - I was impressed that the server was able to get all our dishes, sauces, drinks, etc to us without a problem. She even split the bill with a smile. My boyfriend and I decide to order the SuperTrucker with extra pulled pork and toast. Why can't pulled pork pancakes be a thing in NY?! It was delicious. The buttermilk pancakes were fluffy and sweet, and he pulled pork was juicy and savory. The pork belly was good too, and it gave a bit of a crunch. We had so much pulled pork that I even made a pulled pork sandwich with the toast. The hash browns were solid, as were the poached eggs. Definitely coming back during my next visit! read more

With a 45 minute wait, I don't know if I'd wait that long again. I like the whole diner atmosphere of this place, complete with typed up menus. We started off with a coffee which was very good. My friend ordered the pulled pork pancakes while I got the pork belly confit breakfast, with scrambled eggs, toast, and home fries. Food arrived quickly. My pork belly was good, but it was just a tad on the fattier side. Topped with a salsa verde and a hollandaise, the flavor was interesting. In a good way. Scrambled eggs were good, toast was very standard. Tried some of the pulled pork pancake, and that Jack Daniels maple syrup really makes the dish. Perhaps it was cause it was a full house, but service was a bit slow and I had to consistently ask for coffee refills. Even at 2pm, there was still a wait for tables. Maybe a little too hyped up? Think I'll pass for next time to try another brunch place. read more

The Red Wagon is officially my new favourite place for breakfast. I've been wanting to go FOREVER, but the only time I'd actually tried, the wait was frightening and we were in a rush. This time was safe. It was a weekday, nearing the end of the lunch rush. There were only 2 groups ahead of us and 3 tables happened to clear at the exact same time. Perfect. I went with the Trucker breakfast which comes with 2 eggs, 2 buttermilk pancakes, toast, hashbrowns, and the usual choice of breakfast meats. Instead of the meat I asked for cheese on my eggs. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was not charged extra for that! So many places charge me the same for less food, and add on a buck or so just for cheese. Lameness. Thank you Red Wagon!! This was seriously one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I've never had such delicious pancakes. My scrambled cheddar eggs had a generous amount of cheese, and the hashbrowns were nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. My sourdough toast was fine too. My friend had some kind of Portobello and Goat Cheese sandwich and she said it was awesome. To top it all off? Such friendly service! Everyone seemed to be in a genuinely good mood! I can't wait to come back. read more

Holy bombshell! I waited in line for 45 minutes here with bae on a holiday morning. While waiting, we wandered over to Platform 7 Coffee Roasters, just across the street, but even when we came back, we waited for another 15 minutes to get seated. We were starting to get antsy, wondering if this was really worth it, wondering if we should go to nearby Campagnolo for brunch or elsewhere. But I am SO glad that we waited. The food here literally knocked my socks off. I can see why Guy Fieri loved this place. The tastes are so complementary, strong, and savoury. I ordered the Super Trucker which had a little bit of everything: buttermilk pancakes, pulled pork, sourdough toast, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and crispy pork belly. Well, let me say that this is (A) a lot of food and (B) the most satisfying breakfast or brunch that you will ever have! The buttermilk pancakes were thick, fluffy, but not too sweet. So, everything that you want your pancakes to be. The pulled pork was on the sweeter side so it complemented the pancakes well. The toast was... toast. The scrambled eggs were... scrambled eggs. The potatoes were... potatoes, but also perfectly cooked with a soft bite to it so much that there was no starchiness whatsoever! And the pork belly, it was like a thick centimetre slice of bacon. Enough said. Now, let me just say that when you leave this establishment, you will have a tummy, you will feel grossly full, and you will feel like you need an immediate dosage of fruits or vegetables. But you will look back and remember the food adventure you just went on... and smile. read more

Worth the hour wait on a Saturday at 11:30am? Yes. But I was mentally prepared thanks to all of you yeeps. May this be a lesson to us all - waiting for a good thing is a-ok - when you're ready. BE READY. What I wasn't prepared for (and what I'm sure staff weren't expecting)... the freakishly frequent electrical failures that plagued my dining experience. Everyone from the servers to the customers were in good spirits about the ordeal, but I did have to be on my best behaviour about it. The electrical failure meant no coffee. An hour wait, coffeeless, and a coffeeless breakfast? Draw a sad face in my yolks :( It could have gotten really, really ugly... But none of that really mattered after the first few bites of the daily special: pastrami hash topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. Oh, hells yes. I won't go into every mouthwatering detail, because who knows when it will grace the menu again, but I ordered wisely. Pulled pork pancakes and Jack Daniels maple syrup are standard fare at The Red Wagon and with that you can mark my words, I'm heading back. And next time, I'll be more prepared: 1) coffee run 2) a sweater - it gets cold by the door 3) a headlamp - just in case the power goes out again. Kudos to our server who smiled the whole way through the ordeal. read more

Eggs Benny's made with Jalapeño corn bread and pulled pork?!?? Didn't even know this wonderful compilation ever existed and I wish I knew sooner.. JUST PURE deliciousness my favourite type of fusion breakfast. The buttermilk Jack Daniels syrup was enjoyable as well. The syrup had a strong JD taste but it wouldn't be JD syrup without it! But it's paired amazing well with butter and the moist pancake. I found my new favourite brunch to go! read more

What a fantastic little East Van diner! For the longest time this place was "Kings Cafe" but I had recently noticed that it is now "The Red Wagon". We stopped in one afternoon for a late breakfast and were shown to what seemed to be the only clean table by a friendly waitress. There was only one other customer in there but they had apparently just had a big rush so the place was a bit disorderly. Even though I was hesitant to pay $2.50 for diner coffee I'm glad I did! It was delicious Saltspring coffee not the cheap, burnt tasting garbage I was expecting. Bottomless too! Being somewhat of a greasy breakfast connoisseur I decided to go with the Two Eggs Any Style, because let's be honest, if you can't do that right you shouldn't be cooking food. Period. Everything was pretty good. The bacon was kind of burnt/ crispy (some people like that) and the home fries a tad undercooked but nothing significant enough to ruin my meal. I also had a side of sausages because I love to eat and always order way more food than I actually need. They were PERFECT and there were SIX of them. Pretty rad for a $3.00 side. My boyfriend had the Piperade and Goat Cheese omelette. He said it was the best omelette he'd EVER had and I'm willing to take his word for it considering he didn't say a single word to me the whole time he was eating. Overall this place is pretty great and I think everyone should try it out. The only real downside was that although our waitress was great and really friendly, she could have been more attentive. She forgot to bring my boyfriend's drink and I had to wait a while before being offered a coffee refill. read more

Always a long wait at this popular breakfast spot but what made the wait worth it was the hot sugar coated homemade donuts that we got to sample while in line outside. Thankfully, because it was just the two of us we were seated a lot quicker than larger groups. I had the smoked salmon scramble which was yummy although it was similar to something I make at home. The hubby went with the super trucker and thoroughly enjoyed his breakfast as well. There was an option for $3 extra for the JD spiked syrup which was essentially maple syrup spiked with Jack Daniels. When we asked about it, our server said that it's what they are known for but not really worth it. Loved the honesty! The Red Wagon although known for their great breakfasts also has a lunch menu. Looking forward to going back and checking it out! read more

"Indulgent" is the perfect word to describe this place. Some of the items on the menu are just downright sinful. First off, you have pulled-pork pancakes. Next, there is the Croque Monseiur, a sandwich that has a creamy, cheesy sauce on top with a fried egg. This sandwich is very very heavy and filling. It is tasty, but I have trouble finishing it because it is so rich. There is also the Croque Madame, which is similar. Moreover, they make their own chips and fries. I enjoy the food. It is definitely comfort. My rating is a bit low because I can't get over the service. It is super slow. It takes a really long time to get the food, and the waitresses are not attentive enough to make the wait tolerable. The food itself is good, but inside, I feel I might be able to create just as sinful a sandwich at home for a quarter of the price; not to mention, I wouldn't have to wait forever to get it. Go when you are one with Zen because you will definitely need patience for this meal. read more

I can't "Check In" because they don't have wifi, but I was a regular at the Wagon at first. Over a year ago I predicted that this place was gonna rock the VEV and I can now brag at the validity of that statement. Red Wagon may have been among the first hip restaurants to take over an old establishment with respect and bring it up a few notches, but there are a LOT of other great places to eat in the village now. Something about the bright interior, casual fresh Diner-esque experience with a local, homegrown twist, the great locally roasted coffee and the always friendly service that attracts hoards of people to our humble 'hood. I love having lunch meetings here during the week, but seldom venture to brunch on weekends because there are so many choices that people don't seem to know about. Red Wagon used to be better, with free range eggs and locally sourced meats, and they even have an espresso machine, but lately, the bacon is meh and the eggs I'm now doubting if they are free range. Don't be going all cheap on us okay R.W? read more

This place is amazing!!!! Perfect from start to finish. Service was on point, fun, friendly and attentive...Food, off the charts! Unique and delicious! Everything was seasoned perfectly. Even the sourdough toast was perfection! Not too sour. This is my new favorite breakfast spot. I was so impressed with the food (super lumberjack breakfast) that I can't wait to come back for the dinner service... Those chefs/cooks know what their doing... And the servers are all so cute and sweet! Definitely worth the wait (our wait was maybe 15). Choose the counter seating to be in the middle of the action! read more

If you're just looking for food, you could go worse places, but if you're the kind of eater who expects small eateries to be better than the chains, give this place a miss. I've eaten here twice now. I'll start with the positives: -Price. The meals are not expensive. The burgers certainly aren't cheaper than a fast food place (as some misguided reviewers seem to think), but two people can eat with special orders for around $15. Not bad. -The onion rings are well-prepared, not too dry, not soggy or greasy. Aaaaaand, now for the bad. -All the grease that wasn't in the fried foods is in the burgers. The burgers are FAR too greasy, the buns are practically non-existent, and the cheese is lackluster at best. -The onion rings are completely tasteless. The batter is pretty much flour, water, and salt - and nothing else. -In this day and age, charging for refills is just stupid. -The restaurant can't decide what it is. It's got full menus for a burger joint, a breakfast place, and a Mexican restaurant. It's a bit schitzophrenic, and there's just no way a place with this many entrees can do them all well. Overall, 6/10; I'd eat it in a pinch, but I couldn't recommend it to anyone. I've not eaten or seen anything that really impressed me about this place. read more

After visiting the Farmer's Market at Trout Lake on a sunny Saturday, My boyfriend and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to visit The Red Wagon since we were in the neighbourhood. Located on East Hastings and Nanaimo street, this neighbour joint serves up a delightful and hearty brunch. With its simple diner décor, Chinese serving plates and 70s music selection, this retro cafe definitely transported us back in time. We arrived at 1:30pm and the restaurant was packed - we waited for 20 mins before we were seated. By the time the order was placed, it was already 2pm and we were both starving. The service was not attentive but our waitress was friendly - we had to ask for water, coffee refills, cream, jam, peanut better, ketchup......The food also took a long time - 35 mins before we were served - but it was totally worth the wait!!!! For Brunch, we had Crispy Pork Belly ( $10.95) - Confit pork belly, two eggs any style, griddled tomatoes, salsa verde, hollandaise, home fries and toast. This is TO DIE FOR - it's a must try. The pork belly was nicely crisped on the outside but soft and tender inside. It had a nice texture - layers of " melt in your mouth" pork fat and moist meat - done just right not too heavy. My eggs were perfectly poached - yolks oozing out combined with hollandaise, salsa verde and pork belly - a bite of heaven. Two eggs any style ($6.95) - Served with choice of bacon or sausage, home fries and toast. We ordered scambled eggs - it was soft, fluffy and buttery. The breakfast sausage was average but the home fries were crispy and flavourful. This dish is the best value on the menu - only $6.95. Overall, I enjoyed the brunch menu at The Red Wagon very much. If you are looking for a fancy brunch spot with a patio to gossip with your girlfriends, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for good comfort/diner food, this is the place to be. Food - 4 stars ( based on Brunch) Ambiance - 3 stars Décor - 2 1/2 stars Service - 3 stars Value - 4 stars read more

I was really satisfied with the brunch options here, and the one I finally settled on. I had the pulled pork Banh Mi, which was filling and tasty. The portion was big, so I had to take half to go. My friend had the super trucker breakfast, which was good & suited to those with a big appetite. It consisted of pancakes filled with pulled pork, a beef brisket fillet on top and 2 eggs. The coffee was strong, re-fillable and hit the spot. Overall, this is a great breakfast spot and it's understandable why it always has a line. However, you don't have to wait that long, just 15-20 minutes. read more

I'm a brunch person, and this, I would have to say takes comfort food to a whole new level. Even their pancakes taste as if they were cooked in pork fat. I ordered the super trucker and it had an amazing assortment of pulled pork, pork belly, pancakes, potatoes and eggs. Really, if you're a sweet and salty kinda person, this is perfect for you. Not too pricey for what it is, every single one of us from 4 different countries were satiated with our dishes. That's more than half the G7 representation right there, so I'd say that's a good thing. Highly recommend! read more

My favorite breakfast place in Vancouver, with great prices, a delicious and interesting menu and friendly, prompt service. Used to live down the street and come here every weekend. This is a popular spot so expect a wait on the weekends. Can personally recommend the pulled pork pancakes, smoked salmon scramble and breakfast sandwich. That being said, I have thoroughly enjoyed everything on the menu that I have tried, including the goat cheese omelette and frittata. The smoked salmon used in the scramble is of high quality and absolutely delicious. Had this over the past weekend. The breakfast sandwich tastes like the English muffin has been buttered and fried on the griddle rather than merely toasted which completely elevated the dish. This place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Four stars for their Pulled Pork Pancakes, three stars for the service. Me and three others went to give this place a try, and I am the only one who would return. Note, that I was also the only one to get the Pulled Pork Pancakes. My man got the Crispy Pork breakfast, and while the Pork Belly Confit was done with expertise, we all wished there was more than one slice of it one the plate. GIMME MORE PORK FAT PLEASE!!! I really liked the understated Diner ambiance of the place and like I liked my food. Although our server was really very nice, unfortunately for her, it seemed like she was the only server working a a hoppin' lunch joint which equalled very slow service. While my pancakes were worth the wait, the wait for everything else hampered the experience overall. Although I got to see a lot of their other offerings while I was waiting, which was not a bad thing because I DID want to try everything! read more

Wasn't a huge fan when I came here a few years ago, but have to say my mind is totally changed! The super trucker is the best variety of breakfast and the pulled pork pancakes are delicious.

Came in to try the Croque Madam. Place was busy which is a good sign. The staff's friendly yet not too friendly to the point where you can't eat in peace. The place has wifi which is great for when you're waiting for the food to arrive. Now to get to the good part, namely the food. First off if you're here and you have the option get the potatoes over the fries. These potatoes are amazing! The sandwich itself was pretty damn good. Nothing mind blowing unlike the potatoes. All in all the place is above average. Good food, friendly staff, average diner coffee (hot, strong, in good amount), oh and wifi is always a plus. The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is because it smells slightly funny here. Then again maybe it's just because it's a rainy day. 4/5 worth the 40min public transport journey on a rainy day. Would definitely come again. On a side note it's slightly more pricey than I expected from a diner but it's definitely worth it. read more

Finally came for breakfast. We all had the Super Trucker which includes.. 2 eggs, Pulled Pork Pancakes with Confit Pork Belly with toast and potatoes.. The eggs (soft poached) were cooked perfectly, pulled pork was good but not as spectacular as others thought, the Confit Pork Belly was well done, super crispy on the outside interlace with fat rendered meat - not something you can have everyday but worth it to taste even you have high chloresterol. The potatoes were well seasoned, and the pancakes were fluffy. My inlaws split their Super Trucker and it was a hefty portion. We got in right at 9am and there was no line. read more

The food was ok, but based on the horrible experience I had with the service, I am never going back. I was seated a full 5 minutes before this other couple even came into the restaurant and were seated next to us by the same guy. They were asked right away whether they wanted a menu. We had been waiting for 5 minutes and had to ask the guy on the way back to get us our menus. After quickly deciding on what to eat, we waved down a server but she said that our own server will take our order, which is fine. I waved down our server and when she finally came, she actually walked around us to go to the the other couple first, who were FURTHER AWAY from her before coming back to take our order. When our drinks finally came, she put all our drinks on a tray and again, walked to the further table with a tray full of drinks instead of dropping off ours first (seriously this had to be intentional to some degree because why would anyone take a full tray further than they had to when they can make it easier by dropping off half of the content first), and then proceeded to even get that wrong by giving our drinks to the other couple. Then she proceeded to give us waters, and the exact same thing happened. Then because she took the order first from the couple that came later, our food literally did not come until they had FINISHED THEIR FOOD. They were also asked how they were doing within 5 minutes of getting their food, and at least 2 times after that (I noticed because obviously I still had not gotten my food and was getting bored and annoyed), while we were asked only when we were basically finished. So basically I came before this other couple and did not get our food before they finished theirs. The only reason I could think of for all of this was that I looked like I wouldn't tip as much. Let's be real, Asians on average probably don't tip as much (I myself usually tips 15-20% depending on service though), so this is honestly not the first time I got shafted on service (this has happened enough times for me to think that this is not a one-off). However, I've never had an experience as blatant as this, and I've never had a meal where I was actually pissed off at the service, because I see that they actually DO provide good service to others, like the other couple. All in all, think before you go in, and if you're Asian, think about whether you care about the service first. read more
