My friend Greg and his wife Jan took me to X-site bistro for dinner. Greg had the blacked chicken burger Jan had the 6oz steak sandwich I had the cali chicken burger which came with avocado and bacon The servings were generous. The food came pretty quickly and were very tasty The decor has a Gastro-pub vibe read more

Just your no frills spot on Hastings. Was tempted by a cheap meal - $7.95 for lunch. I got the cheese burger and it was not bad for the price. Came with a salad. The chicken souvlaki was okay too - filling with rice and pita but nothing wow or flavourful. Had to buy a drink - pop was around $4 and was super flat. Wouldn't come back again but can say I tried it! read more

Great portions for great price! I definitely did not expect that the portion would be large for $14.99. They gave vinaigrette salad, two garlic bread, potato, rice and the steak with that price. The vinaigrette is refreshing with tangy flavor. The steak is quite nice and I got it medium well. The meat is tender, but the sauce is a little lacking in flavor. Overall, there's room for improvements but their price is very affordable. Would love to try other flavors as well. read more

X-Site Grill & Bistro - Bars Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Excellent lunch and dinner specials (quality, proportion and price). Check their daily drink specials. The X-Site Grill & Bistro is known for their great deals for meals and drinks. It's frequented by a mix of crowds: families, date nights, friend gatherings, bar goers, etc. On weekends, it's best to call in for a reservation, as it does get packed. The interior is spacious, the servers were efficient and polite. The dishes were quite large and the proportions are very generous. Our party opted for several of the dinner specials: Grilled Salmon and Chicken Souvlaki. It was not the best salmon I've tasted, but for the price, it was decent. Would recommend this place for group gatherings with friends or college students. read more

I've never heard of X-Site Grill & Bistro but a couple of buddies have been eating here since their high school days. That's loyalty right there. Been a few times for dinner (around 7:30pm) and it's been busy. Service was solid. The regular menu consists of appetizers, soups and salads, sandwiches, specialty clubs, gourmet burgers, pastas and from the grill. Their lunch and dinner specials are wicked; $6.95 (Monday to Saturday, 11:00am to 4:00pm) and $7.95 (Monday to Thursday, 5:00pm to 9:30pm). For both, one beverage order is required. Trip #1 - Caesar ($3.95) - their Tuesday drink special. A little watered down. - 4x Gourmet burgers ($7.95) - I tried the havarti burger. Nice touch with the dressing on the side. Burger was excellent; good flavour, juicy and well seasoned. Potatoes were tasty. Trip #2 - 2x Local pint ($4.25) - four options (lager, pale ale, IPA and a seasonal). We opted for the seasonal winter ale. Decent. - Raspberry daiquiri ($5.95) - B was pleasantly surprised how good her daiquiri turned out. Couldn't even taste the alcohol. - 4x New York steak (6 oz) ($7.95) - everyone requested medium rare. Steak was tender and an excellent portion size. Can't beat it! Trip #3 - Nachos ($11.95 full size) - decent while we waited for our mains to arrive. - Veggie burger ($8.95) - Classic burger ($10.95) - Chicken souvlaki ($12.95) - New York steak (6 oz) ($7.95) - ordered the Monday special again. Just as good as last time. X-Site is the definition of cheap eats! Will be back to try their other specials. read more

Ugh. I am really upset because I really wanted to like this. I used to go to the location downtown when it was there, so I was excited to see that X-site Grill was still around when I passed by one day. Excited, I made plans with my kids to go there for dinner Thursday evening. Just to get right to it; The service was great, the food was terrible. I had the dinner special, which was the grilled salmon. The salmon was ok and the rice was decent, but the Cesar salad dressing on my salad tasted off. And the boiled potatoes on the side with a dollop of sour cream on top was....interesting. I got a ginger ale and it was kinda flat and tasted a bit off as well. Definitely not Canada Dry. My Daughter got a basic burger. The bun was crispy, she ate half of it. The burger came with a salad and those boiled potatoes again on the side. Never had a burger with a side of a boiled potato but, ok. My other Daughter got the peppercorn steak and it was definitely not a steak by any stretch of the imagination. The bread on the side was super crispy too, I couldn't even eat it. I gave the server a decent tip because she was great and the food is not her fault, but that food was an absolute disappointment. I'm going to possibly try again on a souvlaki night, but not for a while. And I definitely will be passing on the plain boiled potatoes. read more

The service was super mean , specially for the Asian lady, actually we have been there many times before , fell good with all the food , but last night, Me and my friend arranged dinner there, for some reason my phone 's battery died , i couldn't let him know that I am already there , I asked the girl for help she did agreed but the lady came with very bad manners and refused, and said i can come back later , they do not Provide this service.... Which is really not very nice , very bad experience for that , will never go again specially when she is there . read more

Great value! The lunch specials are currently $6.95, but require you to buy a drink. Pop is ~$3 so you get a meal and drink for under $10. That's unheard of nowadays. The food is pretty good overall, and served fast. Lunch specials mostly come with Caesar salad and/or garlic toast, none come with french fries if you were expecting that. Their daily drink specials are great too - Tuesdays are 1oz Caesars for $3.95. Almost the same as a soft drink. Service and atmosphere are casual and homey. Nice place to grab a bite. Free parking on Hastings and the side streets. read more

Fantastic neighbourhood find. Lovely comfort foods, generous portions, and the best prices around. We've been enjoying this family-run gem about twice a month and are never disappointed by the food, or by the hospitable young owner taking the reins. read more

Came here to say the Club Sandwich and the Chicken Souvaki Lunch Special were the Cats Meow in the case of taste and presentation. The booths were a little cramped but there were more than 4 full sized adults with us so no worries. Street parking wasn't so bad and it's worth the consideration of your time and tastebuds. read more

Our go-to for a quick meal when we don't want to cook! No frills place but the daily specials got us going regularly. You really can't beat the prices! The chicken souvlaki is our little's favourite. We adults like the salmon special! read more

Good Food, Great service. Where else can you get a dinner item for $8.99. Only thing I did not like was the salad mixed in with the hot food. Last time there, I asked the Server to put the salad on the side, and she had done this with the kitchen. Thank You. No complaints !! read more

If i come here and have the draft beer ( required with a special) I usually get the runs, but the food is low cost which is about the only thing going for it. The place gets over run with the frugal types and neglectful parents that let the kids play videos on loud phones. Waitress are hit and miss, one blonde is on point, the brunette walks around like she's on the moon, the regular girl waddles about. read more

It must have been more than 15 years since we last came and ate here. The prices seems to be the same as it was that many years ago. Incredible value. Service was good and the portions were sizeable. Most entrees are below $18 including NY steak dinner. Large nachos is $15 compared to most restaurants charging at least $22. It is a nicely decorated restaurant and we will be back again soon when we are in the area. We'll definitely be back and much sooner than 15 years. read more

I've been here for supper a couple of times, and lunch once. They place is always busy at dinner, and there could be a wait. But the crowd is great, and the staff attentive and the food though not remarkable, is filling and reliable. read more

Been going here for over 10 years. You won't find a better value around. You can get 12 wings for 9.95 still. The specials are such a good deal also. Family owned and well worth it. Love this place read more

Fantastic value! One of the diners in our party has been coming here for years! All of us were pleased with our meals. The meals ordered were garlic shrimp, peppercorn steak, and blackened salmon. The portions included toasted garlic bread, potato, rice, salad & main course for $11.95. All fresh and delicious! They also offer starters, sandwiches, & burgers. They also have lunch specials available from Mon to Sat (11 am to 4 pm) $5.95 and dinner specials available from Mon to Thurs (5 - 9:30 pm) at $6.95, both available with the order of a drink. They are located just off Hastings and Willingdon on the north side of Hastings. Note they are closed on Sundays. Our server was helpful in giving us her opinion on what to choose. We definitely will be back! Good food at great prices! read more

X-cite is a great restaurant with excellent service. Food is great and portions are super big. A great value. The service is top notch. They remember your name and what you like to drink and eat, which is very impressive. Recommend highly!!! read more

I haven't been here in many years and nothing has changed at all! I was disappointed in my meal, we had the havarti burger, cheeseburger and club sandwich. The burger meat did not taste good, maybe it was previously frozen. The chicken on the club sandwich was about 1/3 of a chicken breast so very small portion. Meals come with salad and spuds - the spuds were boiled potatoes with a dollop of sour cream, no spices or seasoning at all. A Coke cost $3.50. I'm glad I went back but won't be going again, I wish we went to A&W down the street read more

I went here about a month ago and had a Chicken Curry Linguine ($10.95) it was fresh and tasty. My garlic bread was crispy and the chicken in the linguine was fresh and tasty. The portion was big and I wasn't able to finish it all. Linguine was soft and it was smothered in a curry sauce. I wish it had more flavours in the pasta, but nothing to complain since my pasta was only $10.95. I was already bit full from a garlic bread and I couldn't finish my food. Later I took left over portion to eat it next day. Service was fast. read more

I've been coming to X-cite Grill for a really long time (Let's just say maybe 10 years). The food is honest and delicious. The price is on point for being perfect for students or those just looking for cheap eats. It's a great place for med to large parties. And the food has never been disappointed. Their lunch specials ($5.95) and daily evening specials ($6.95) can't be compared. You'd pay the same amount if not more during a happy hour at any other place. Their regular menu items range from the appys ($3.95) to their entrees, the most expensive being $10.95. They have something for everyone. Check it out and leave fully delicious. Plus they have 2 other locations for your convenience. read more

Went for lunch, the place was full! This means good food! It was ... Good food, fast and polite service all at a reasonable price. We had the Chicken Souvlaki , Cheese burger, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken Pesto Sandwich. You can see by the pictures, most dishes came with a salad side and roasted potatoes ... better for than French fries. Would definitely go back if in the neighborhood again. The cheeseburger & chicken souvlaki were only $7.95, as long as you bought a drink also. read more

Went there on Dec 23 with mum. It was very early about 5 pm for dinner. We had a server who was so so rude. My mum asked about their coffee and the attitude was unbelievable. Being elderly my mum just got quiet. I heard this same waitress say to the next table where a customer was trying to joke with her that " I just care bout your order ". In other words shut up I just want to take your order . I had an addition to my order so I walked to the counter to another nice server and was about to ask her when my grouchy server buys in with a rude " WHAT do you need?" . I ignored her and she said well she is not your server. So I stopped and gave my rude server a piece of my mind. I just wanted to say to the owners....you seem to put so much effort to making the food affordable, good atmosphere and delicious food. This one experience has cost you soooooo much money as I was coming every week or so. Please pay attention to your service. It is worth so much read more

Terrible service . Ordered prawns with my steak dinner . Ate three , fine they were over cooked no biggy . The fourth one was definitely off . I stopped eating put my food to the side . I let the waitress know . She comes back with the bill and had legit only taken ONE prawn off the bill . When I had said something she replied with well u said it was only one prawn right ? . .. i am beyond disgusted with how this situation was handled . Will never go back and never recommend. read more

Got there for the lunch special. Got the fettuccini Alfredo and the Greek chicken dish ($5.95 each). You just gotta get a drink. Both meals were really good. For such a cheap price you really do get your money's worth - really good portions and the food is actually good; they don't cheap out on the ingredients. It's nice to see that there's a cheap, but good place on Hastings. I recommend! read more

X-Site Grill & Bistro - Fettuccine Alfredo and the Greek dish. Lunch special $5.95 - Bars Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

This place is cheap. It has a Monday special cheap steak but you do have to buy a drink. SO it comes to less than $10. The place is very dark. As well not a lot of booth seats. The seats are very spacious. As well they need to hire more people especially on a Monday. And on Monday, It can get really busy due to the cheap steak deal. However, everyday they have a special with a purchase of a drink. read more

X-Site Grill & Bistro - Bars Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

One of those places that I always seem to come back to, not just for the deal (money to the amount of food), but the relaxing environment and quality as well. With a funky name like X-Site you might think this is your regular hole in the wall, serve you slop and get the heck out, well this definately is not the case, and I cannot even remember how many times I have come in here just to relax. You come through the front, and the decor is mainly made up dark flooring, dark walls, and dark talbes and chairs, but there is enough light in here. There is a board right at the front telling you what the specials are for the day. You get seated at a table, even though they have a bar, I have never seen anyone eat there. Behind the bar is the drinks, but also the kitchen, where one of the owners is also the chef, and he is constantly whipping up food for everyone in the restaurant, he has a brother too, that looks like him that works in the back. You can just come here for drinks if you choose, but when you get presented the menu you notice that nothing is over $10, and then you think to yourself, these must be some pretty small plates if they are offering these prices to me. You are pleasantly surprised in regards to size for price, as if you are to order a steak, it's a platter with salad, a half potato, with a heap load of rice, and a piece of garlic toast. If that does not get you full, then you go on ahead an order more. The drinks are cheap, the food is cheap, and it is a great place to catch sports. They have 3 big tv's that are always showing sports, and if it is a big game, or a Canucks game, the music turns into the broadcast. For a cheap solution for a meal, good food, good service, and if your around the area, come here for a bite and drink. read more

Finally had a chance to try their steak dinner ($10). Yes, only $10. The "garlic bread" is really just garlic toast, as in the toast you use to make sandwiches. The salad is on the soggy side, and is really just a bunch chopped veggies thrown into a pile. Definitely not tossed. The potatoes and rice are exactly as they sound. The steak sauce is on the salty side, so try not to have a heart attack. As for the steak itself? Actually pretty well done (no pun intended). I still can't decide if I like this place. It seems like a love-hate relationship, for now. read more

X-Site Grill & Bistro - $10 steak special~ - Bars Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

This place has been a staple in the heights for years. And I'm pretty sure they haven't raised the price of the specials in at least a few years. The food is decent, they don't serve fries. But they do serve spuds. And lots of greens. If you are on a low carb diet, this would be a good restaurant to eat at if you ask for burgers without the bun and no spuds. The lunch specials are not day dependent. The little signs on the table allow a variety of specials to be ordered. The drinks are moderately priced. I don't have to mention the service as other people have said it before. It depends on who you get. read more

We go here regularly. We get there early as it often lines up. The value is amazing and the owner and her staff are really friendly!

Service: 10/10, Servers are well aware of their customers, friendly & sociable! Food: HUGE PORTIONS! Their dinner specials are generous and will definitely leave you full afterwards. Price is VERY decent! Even with a 15% tip, which they deserved was below $20. NO it's not quantity over quality; quality was decent as well. Drinks: Not too much variety but hey! Drink specials are decently priced and they got what you need; beer. Vancouver needs more restaurants like this. Not picture friendly dishes that pose as a full meal. read more

I had my favourite dish here recently,the Blackened Salmon. Nicely seasoned fish & grilled just right. Comes with rice, salad & toasted bread. Quite delicious. I have been dining here for many years. I also enjoy the chicken souvlaki lunch special. Service is Good. Very good tasting food at a reasonable price. read more

I was here for their burger Tuesday! Great burger with juicy patty! Chicken burger is quite well seasoned and not too dry. But the price! The price! Wow this is cheaper than an A&W burger, seriously. And for the price you also get salad. Come on Tuesdays. I'd love it more if their beer special is also on Tuesday. read more

Ive drive by this place twice a day for years as it's on my route to work downtown-pre Covid Went to the gem store beside it and decided to try it Wow I'm sure that my cheeseburger had a home made meat patty that was delicious and my daughter was happy with her vegetarian burger The salads were fresh - she ate an adult size Cesear salad and I had a mixed salad. Smart on them for putting the dressing on the side for mine (as I forgot to ask) I'm not sure if they heard my daughter and I talking but she really wanted the Greek potatoes in the chicken souvlaki;she's vegetarian so that would not have worked. When served her plate had the potatoes- which she was ecstatic about. Triple bonus for the price. We will definitely make the trip from Port Moody again read more

So we've lived in Burnaby for over a year now and my boyfriend has only JUST taken me to X-Site, a place he had gone to growing up in Burnaby. I, on the other hand, had only driven past this place on the way to SFU back when I was still in school - I really had never thought to go inside. We took a look at the menu online and I was instantly sold. Cheap eats and good drink specials = the key to my heart. I was a bit skeptical at the prices, however, questioning portion-size, service, cleanliness, etc. I decided to give it a go anyway. We arrived 7:30PM on a Monday and we ordered calamari and one burger each. I was blown away at the portion sizes, which contrary to my beliefs, were not at all small. Each burger came with some potatoes as well as a large salad (which we barely ended up touching because we were full). The calamari so surprisingly good - incredibly tender and it wasn't battered too much. It was made perfectly and I would've definitely preferred this type of calamari over any big chain restaurant's (Cactus Club, Joey, White Spot, etc.) any day. However, as mentioned previously in other reviews, servers can be ridiculously rude here. Our plates were slammed onto the table without a word and it took awhile to get the servers' attention as they seemed to all be watching hockey on TV. For the price, though, I felt like I couldn't complain too much. We're already planning our next trip back here (probably Thursday for high ball specials), and I'm excited to try out some other items on their menu! read more

$5.95 for a 6oz steak dinner with 5 different kinds of carbs on the side and a beer for $2.95?! HELL YES. I came here with my family specifically for the monday night steak dinner special. Surprisingly (but also not surprisingly) the 6 of us cleaned our plates. The portions are HUGE. So if you're one to go looking for a good bang for your buck, this place is the place for you. Careful tho, don't come TOO hungry in case there is a long line! We had to wait about 35 minutes for a table. In the end, it was worth it. That "hangry" feeling went away pretty quickly haha. Oh, and one of the servers looked like she was having an extremely bad day. Sure I get it that you might be a bit grumpy, but damn, don't take it out on your customers! What did we ever do to you?! -.-" Rude. read more
