    Tomahawk Style Beef Dip with garden salad

    I'd seen photos of the interior of the Tomahawk restaurant and thought that alone was worth taking a look. Outside a pair of totems greet diners, and inside is a cozy and rustic dining room which even has counter seating. I decided on the beef dip with a garden salad.. the orange and cranberry dressing was a nice take on a vinaigrette. As they do serve roast beef, that's what was in the sandwich and the bun was a good quality also. My nice little lunch finished, I opted for the cherry pie. It was quite ok but probably I should've gone for the lemon pie which appears to be their signature. Good coffee too. The servers were all prompt and friendly.

    I love the breakfasts at the Tomahawk. I don't get to go there as often as I would like so I make a glutton of myself and have pie and breakfast, not just pie for breakfast, either the Yukon special, or the salmon Benedict The service is good. And the ambience can't be beat, very unique.

    Had meat loaf for the first time in a long while. Excellent with fresh Brussels and squash, mashed potatoes.

    First time for meat loaf in a very long time. Fresh Brussels, squash and mashed pot. Excellent version which hit the spot. Couldn't finish it but that's just fine. Others who enjoy large portions will be happy

    I hadn't been here in at least 7 years. What an improvement! Better and tastier food. We dined in for lunch & shared the Organic Turkey Clubhouse and organic Simon Baker burger with fries. Food: 5/5 - fantastic prices considering you're getting organic beef and turkey. They even offer a couple of lunch specials ranging from $15 to $20. They also offer dinner specials at $35 on Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays. If you like burgers, this is a must order. Food came out hot and was fresh. Good selection of breakfast and lunch items. Service: 5/5 - friendly server who came to our table a few times asking if we needed anything Ambiance: 5/5 - great ambiance. You feel like you're in a museum of beautiful Indigenous art & baskets. Nice vibe to the place. Lots of history here. Parking: 5/5 - parking in front of the building or on the street We'll be back for the dinner! Note: they are closed on Mondays. Hours on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: 9 am to 8 pm and Tues and Wednesday: 9 am - 4 pm.

    Yes! Craving a Tomahawk burger to day while on the North Shore. Chief Simon Baker burger arrives fresh and sizzling with piping hot fries! Fresh mushrooms peeking out from the bun...can not wait to devour this wonder. Slow flow Heinz ketchup for the crispy fries. Serving local, organic food. Pure beef patty. Yes! A nostalgic visit to a local landmark. Classic burger and fries on a wet west coast afternoon. Located on Philip Avenue, just south of Marine Drive. Lots of parking.

    Been here before once and decided to have brunch here after a hike in North Vancouver. Name of restaurant has barbecue on the end but didn't see any BBQ items on the menu. They are known for their "All Day" breakfast items and their food selection is geared towards more of a diner. I ordered the Benny's Classic made with their famous Yukon Bacon and my date had the Vegetarian Omelette. The portions were big but really nothing special. Our meals were served with diced hash browns and not your traditional pancake style ones that I had last time which I found tasted bland. The water they served with mint in a self serve bottle was nice and refreshing. We had two waitresses come by and checked on us with one just getting off her shift and made sure everything was ok. Signage shows the restaurant was established in 1926. Ambiance of the place had a First Nations theme with an assortment of totem poles and arts & crafts which you can purchase at the front of the restaurant. Once you enter the restaurant you are greeted with a cute little pond filled with an assortment of rubber duckies. Free parking is available to it's patrons in a large parking lot beside the restaurant.

    This is the best breakfast in North Vancouver . An institution and requirement for any visit. Long live the Yukon breakfast!

    This is a good place for brunch as they have big portions and the food is good. I had their Yukon style bacon and eggs dish. There was really a generous amount of hash brown under those bacons, egg and toasts. I finished it but my stomach was telling me that I shouldn't have as I was so sluggish after. The service is good and the waitress was very outgoing however we did have to wait for our drinks to arrive and water too.

    Tomahawk Style Beef Dip

    A big hit and miss when it comes to the food here so exercise caution. I got the Steak and Mushroom Pie, mom got the Traditional Meat Loaf and dad got the Beef Dip Sandwich. First thing I noticed for my meal before ordering was that it came with mash potatoes so I was going to ask my server if instead of mash potatoes I could have extra veggies. Well I got as far as "..and could I sub out" and was immediately cut off and sternly told they don't allow any subs of any kind and do I still want mash potatoes or not. A little mad at her tone and upset she wouldn't even let me finish asking my question I told her just to leave the mashed potatoes off. Food came and I was missing my garlic bread as well. As for the food, the steak and mushroom pie was quite good. The pie top was flaky but extremely dry so it didn't really work if you tried to cut straight down and get a clean piece of the pie top plus a steak chunk in gravy. Your best bet would be to chop out up the top and give it a quick mix in the gravy first. The steak was cooked perfect but I was expecting a little more meat to be honest. The mushroom chunks were just about the same size as the chicken so when it's about 50/50 there wasn't all that much meat. The seasonal veggies were also a let down. I think it was just various kinds of squash and potato chunks so not any kind of variety. They were also covered in a seasoning that lessened the flavor and made them off putting after a few bites so I didn't eat much of those. The highlight of the meal was mom's meat loaf though. I don't have meat loaf often but this was incredibly good! It was moist and had a little more sautéed onions mixed in than I'm used to(which I loved) because it gave a little extra texture to each bite. And the tomato sauce on top was also delicious! But mom also had the same reservations about the seasoning on the veggies and she didn't eat much of hers either. Even if a restaurant doesn't allow substitutions, the least your server could do is let you finish asking before explaining they wouldn't be able to accommodate your request rather than rudely cutting you off. The steak and mushroom pie was good but nothing that blew my mind. The meatloaf was the winner of the night though and although I wouldn't eat here again, if you're thinking about eating here, I would suggest getting the meat loaf. I was going to say you might be better off asking if your seasonal veggies can come without that seasoning but I honestly don't know if they would allow that given my negative experience with this waiter.

    I was really looking forward to having lunch with my Aunties here! I remember this place being much better than it is now... The service was poor, I realise it was lunch hour but we waited 40 minutes for food and the server forgot a few things. The meal was decent but I probably won't head back anytime soon. Sad, because it's an institution in North Van.

    Heard a lot of good things about this place. It's been around forever and is pretty much an institution. Parking is available beside the building. The theme seems to be First Nations, with the totem poles outside and the rustic interior. The inside is a bit quirky and looks almost like a museum, with all the figurines. I especially liked the back wall with the paddles and sculptures. The place does feel quite dated (say 1960s), but I assume that's intentional. Staff were friendly. The place has a nice cozy feel. Even though the place is listed as a barbecue, the food selection is more like a diner. I had the organic roast beef dinner. Nice moist slabs of meat with plenty of gravy and potatoes. Delicious and filling. The other reviews seem to be hit and miss, but this place really is just an old fashioned diner serving low key comfort food. Nothing wrong with that.

    BACON. Must eat Canadian Bacon in Canada Do you ever make a list of things you want to do when in a new city? I do. That was one of them. YUKON BREAKFAST That is the first thing listed on the menu so that's what I ordered. The 6 slices of Yukon bacon are thinly sliced maple smoked round strips of (Canadian) bacon, and they cook this very well. Yummmm. It wasn't crispy like American bacon, but more like a thick prosciutto, fried. It was a great addition to the eggs, hashbrown and thick cut toast/bread. I don't know why our "Canadian bacon" in the US looks more like round ham, because our version looks nothing like this. EGGS BENEDICT So this dish was also very good but my husband had to steal some of my bacon because he said he wanted to taste the bacon flavor without the sauce. Grrr. Get your own bacon. PANCAKES This was also a hit with the kids, but you can get pancakes anywhere. Get the bacon. NO RESERVATIONS We got to the restaurant at 8am when they opened so it wasn't crowded, but I've heard that later in the day the wait can get quite long, in part due to the exposure they got on triple D. LOCATION No visible sign from the road. If you are on Marine Drive, turn south on Phillip and it will be on your left, behind the Mercedes dealership. We drove past it three times before finding it. Look for the white totem poles that look like they are in front of a house. That's the entrance. The kids said one of the totem poles looks like it's saying "put your seatbelt on". There is a lot of unique aboriginal art to see here, so it's a cool place unlike anything we have back home. Thanks to fellow Hawaii yelper Dean H. for recommending this place! If you're in the area, go check out this place that is the oldest family-run eatery in Canada, serving people since 1926.

    What a cute Korean bistro! The food is based on Korean dish but featured some Japanese/Chinese…read more Maybe 70% of customers are Korean. There was a table of lots of kids and next to them, old men were drinking from a portable barrel on the table. Very interesting view, honestly. The atmosphere was great. Friendly service. Not too loud inside. There were some tables in the patio. We tried Bulkogi burger with garden salad, Nagasaki champon and deep fried shrimp wantan. The burger was so good. Lots of vegetables and fried onion ring inside. You need to press it down because it was like 12cm high. Champon was so huge and we shared to finish. I wish it had more seafood broth rather than vegetable broth. But tasted great and lots of seafood inside. Next time I want to try deep-fried oyster with original tartar. It was sold out last night :(

    We saw a lot of people eating here one evening, so we came back a couple nights later. It was…read moreactually empty when we visited, except for one table that was doing a stream of their dining experience (and being slightly loud/annoying). I eat Korean pretty regularly, fwiw, the food was ok, but not amazing. We both had a bibimbap. It didn't come in the typical hot stone bowl, instead, it was just in a large bowl. So, no crispy rice at the bottom, oh well. It did come with a side of kimchi, but no banchan, apparently they don't have that. We had barley tea, but the waitress didn't come back to check on us until we were almost done, so we didn't get a refill until the the of the meal. I would probably give 3.5 stars, but feel like they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

    Tried more of their dinner items. The sliced beef in sour soup is super tasty. Wow. Not sure what…read morekind of crack they put in it. Nice peppery kick. Plenty of beef slices and enoki mushroom. I really have to recommend this dish. Also had a pile of their skewers. Taiwanese sausage, chicken gizzard, and 2 flavours of wings. Not the cheapest, but similar in pricing to the competition. Everything got gobbled up. Delicious. Honestly I wish more people knew about this place. I think the only thing stopping them is the rather "bad" (not too visible) location. The 5 star rating for dinner remains.

    Went for their lunch ayce buffet. It used to be 16.88 but now they upped it to 18.88…read more The first time I went there was crab and braised pork belly. The second time there were clams and lamb neck? The things that were the same: tomato egg, dumplings, steamed baos, chineze fried donut, and cold dishes like bean sprouts, smashed cucumbers, tea egg, tofu dessert. They also have hot soy milk for drinks. Their deep fried chinese donut has got to be the best I've ever had in my life. With the price of a pair of fried donut being over $6 these days, I get my fix here. Other things are standard, good but not outstanding. I really like having soy milk to drink instead of water. $18.88 is getting a little steep for a limited choice buffet with not too many meat choices. The crab/clam are a nice addition but if there are days without it, it wouldn't be worth. I would rate the food from this place higher than the similar chinese lunch box style place in richmond, K squared mansion.

We waited about 10 mins for a table on a weekend around 12:30pm. #1- blood sausage and organ soup: you can choose the spice level for this one and we went with mild. Probably could go for medium next time. It came bubbling hot and was served with rice. The soup was flavourful and comforting. The blood sausage was wrapped with an intestine which is something I haven't had before. So this was unique. The organ meats were tender as well. Seafood pancake: on the pricier side but I can see why. It was served piping hot and super crisp. It had plenty of seafood and even glass noodles inside. Again, a unique touch. The pancake was not sought at all and the seafood inside was tender. Banchan: kimchi radish was solid and refreshing. The fishcakes were marinated in something different than other places and was tender. Very delicious! The last banchan I'm not sure what it's called but it's also kind of a pickled onion and veg sort of thing. Overall, a really good meal and I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and craving something comforting. Service was good and food came out quick.
