This is in my top 3 favourite brunch spots in Richmond. The food is always fresh and delicious and they have a great selection of hot and cold drinks. My favourites have been the chicken and waffles, truffle brisket Benny, and the hearty breakfast. The garlic hashbrowns are delightfully crispy. The truffle brisket Benny was exploding with truffle flavour. I’m obsessed! The little side salad that comes with your meal is simple, fresh, light and so tasty that I always eat every single bit of it, and I’m someone who usually ignores a side salad. Service is always friendly and efficient and the place seems well cared for. If you love hot sauce, you’ll love the options here - there’s at least 14 different kinds. The only downside is that there aren’t many tables in the restaurant so they can only serve about 8 or 9 groups at a time.

I stopped here for a quick lunch, BEST THING IVE EATEN IN A LONG TIME! If your in the area come here for food, the burger patties are made here, they make their own sauce, all just tastes incredible. This is a proper restaurant, not enough make food from scratch anymore, this has to be one of the few left. Had a cola with my meal, also they make this too, it's not a store brought brand. Really it needs more then 5 stars.

Walking around Steveston when we came by this place and saw how interesting the menu was so we tried it and it did not disappoint. The food was freshly cooked, we were able to adjust the condiments accordingly yet the food tasted great. The fried chicken was very juicy and the burger was massive. We could barely finish the fries as we were too full, but the price was reasonable for the amount of food that you get. They have a great selection and multiple menu to choose from. They even have ribeye deals on certain days. The server was very nice and accomodating. The place was cozy, not too big but not cramped either. Highly recommend and will definitely come back again.

First time eating here with a group of friends. Ordered from their happy hour menu, regular menu, and ordered their raw oysters. All our meals were delicious made from fresh quality ingredients and good-sized portions. They make their own bread and ketchup!! Gave our compliments to the chef. One of the best meals we’ve had, we thoroughly enjoyed. Wish we took pics of everything we ordered to show here, but we were just too hungry. Menu options apparently changes depending on the season. Prices are reasonable, we’ll definitely come back to try their new options. Recommend making reservations ahead of time for groups of 5 or more as place gets busy.

The Chef’s Playground Teriyaki chicken burger 9/10 - this is a fried chicken burger with pineapple and it’s hard to eat because of how tall is it. fried chicken is cooked perfectly and the only thing i wish was it had more teriyaki sauce. the fries are cooked perfectly and the ketchup is homemade too! the only con is the ventilation is not the greatest so you’ll walk out with your clothes smelling a bit greasy

Great little hidden treasure right in Steveston village. Excellent atmosphere and the service is fast and friendly. Ordered the really tasty, King mushroom burger, and the nice crunchy fries. Has some limited street parking right out front. Come try it, you’ll be back. Back again, had the brisket Benedict, great...
