6785 Hastings St, Burnaby, BC V5B 1S6, Canada
Enduring restaurant offering Greek fare, house-cut steaks & a full bar in a well-appointed space.
The place is wonderful. It was clean and it have a calm vibe to it. Perfect for a get together with friends and family. Food is awesome. The soup was delicious, and the salad it top notch. Very flavourful. We ordered the pasta, I personally recommend the chicken as your add-on. It was so good. Our waiter was awesome too. He’s so friendly and makes sure that our time at the restaurant and food are good. Overall, I would come here much more often☺️ If you’re looking for a good restaurant around Burnaby, you must try this place.
The 6 of us came for dinner at Little Billy's. We ordered the platter so that we could sample different items. The food was delicious, good portions, reasonable prices, and good service. We don't live in the area but we're really glad we tried this restaurant out. I would like to go back to try other items on the menu 😋
Impromptu date night Tuesday at 8:30pm and the restaurant was fairly spacious! Atmosphere with the decorations, spacing, and music was lovely. We tried the 4 course menu and it was fantastic for the price point. Personal favorite was the spanakopita. We had the chicken souvlaki which was perfectly moist and tasted very comforting. I ordered a rose flavoured gin cocktail which tasted like a floral candy. As someone with a sweet this was delicious! We would definitely come again to try other dishes. Glad to have another good restaurant on our radar!
A surprise after entering the restaurant. Interior is way better than the outside. Service was great. Food was great as well, esp the souvlaki.
We had our family dinner of 26 people at the back of this restaurant in the enclosed porch area with a couple of heaters in a rainy, windy evening of June 14, 2024. It turned out the origin of this restaurant was my neighbour back 50 years ago in 1972 on East 2nd Ave, Vancouver with my first house then. The food, service and drinks are tops , some dishes tend to be on the salty side with fatty cheese. Steaks and lobster tails were perfectly done. The prices are not high end prices because it is a neighbourhood steak house. I had the pleasure to meet the original owner who also dined at the restaurant. It was quite a meeting after 50 years.👏👏👍👍
We ordered the Greek platter for 4 people. Lots of food we couldn't finish it so had lots to take home. The vegetables were boiled which we're not used to so they were overcooked for us. Leo the owner came by to check if we liked the food and chat. Friendly and fast service.
First time visit for us - had the chicken livers appetizer, a green salad, the roast lamb main dish, and the seasonal desert plus an ice cream sundae. The livers were a little undone, the salad was amazing, the roast lamb with rice, roast potatoes, fresh vegetables, and pita bread was delicious, and the deserts were good. The service was reasonable. The place was quite empty but it was a Tuesday evening so to be expected. The prices were quite high but overall the dining experience was good.
We were here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The dinner menu running from Mon to Thur caught our eyes as it seemed to be a good deal for a 4-courses dinner for $35. It incluedes a soup, a salad, a main (choose from 4 cloices) and an ice cream sundae. Most of us ended up with this menu. The soup was lemon chicken rice soup which I found quite refreshing. The salad was a standard mixed greens. For the steak and prawns, I was quite disappointed to find my steak well done despite the fact that I ordered a medium rare. The server was very kind upon noticing and replaced my steak with another one which had the correct doneness. However, the steak was a bit too salty. The ice cream was nothing worth to mention. We ordered a few bottles of wine plus a few starters for sharing. There were 15 of us, and the bill was almost $1100 excluding tips. Not too bad with the amount of food and drinks we had. I don't find the food impressive. Everything is just mediocre. Service is good though. Our server is very attentive and friendly. But I doubt that it is enough to make me revisit.
We came in for an early dinner at 5:30 and it was already quite busy. We ordered calamari and stuffed mushroom caps with crab to start. Found the calamari not crispy enough and the stuff mushroom caps a bit salty. For our entree we ordered roast lamb and steak, well done. I got my soup which came with my roast lamb, I found the soup a bit too lemony for my taste, but still finished it. The steak came and my husband found the steak not well done enough. We pointed it out to the waiter and was taken back to the kitchen. When we got it, there still was a little pink on it, still not done enough but my husband didn t say anything anymore, I asked him how his steak was, he said it was tasty except that it was not the well done he was used to. My roast lamb was delicious, nice and tender and I even had leftover to take home, for lunch tomorrow. The service was good, ambience was good but, we found the dinner a bit too pricey. We may be back and give it another try when it is not too busy.
My experience tonight was not good! Food was salty , not fresh and cold. Our server was not friendly and really seemed like he didn t want be there. Definitely will not recommend or return.
Great food!
Parking: Lots of street parking available. Food
Love the staff here. They are so helpful and attentive! Good food choices and priced right. Mon-Thurs they have a set 4 course menu for $39.95. Love it!!
Always a great experience at Little Billys! There arent many restaurants left where the owner (Leo) is always onsite ensuring that your experience is a good one. My faves are their souvlaki and pizza but you cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Money well spent!
We had a dinner for 20 to celebrate my 70 th birthday. We had a table set up in the main restaurant and our food & service was amazing - especially as we kept changing seats! We had a bit of miscommunication at the end of the meal but it was all resolved satisfactorily. Wonderful place to hold a milestone birthday - thanks to our servers and the owner. Memorable night!
Sooooooo goooooood!
Dinner for 3 with no reservation around 5:55pm on Friday. Not busy, only 3 other tables occupied. (a sign I guess) Reception acted as if they were fully booked..let me see if i can find a table... ok... that one with white chairs or that one in corner We took the corner. Hmm .. I guess we were lucky, seems like they are close to fully booked on a Friday night. Served me a lager instead of IPA .. once corrected I had to defend my beer from fruit flies. Several steaks on menu is what attracted me here. Ordered rare 7 oz new york steak (a small cut for new york with no option upsize) Was cooked medium well and had remnants of burnt cheese on it, possibly from grilled cheese bread on everyones plates. Every second or third bite of steak would get a piece of crunchy burnt cheese. I think it was mingled in with mushrooms. At least clean/scrape grill before cooking the mushrooms. I think also they were from can .. not fresh. Rice was powdery..I could not eat it. I dont even know how that was possible..must have been instant rice. Nothing like what you expect of greek/mediteranian rice... intact grains, firm, with some resistance when chewed. Would have loved some fresh cooked vegetables like I saw in photos online.. but nope.. not even listed in menu. Not living up to their advertising of fresh food. The New Decore .. its construction was cheap, plain, cold and slapped together. looking like it was built by amatures. Gaps in laminate flooring, crown molding has gaping gaps everywhere.. who ever installed that had no clue what they were doing. Ceiling trim looked like fence lumber. Art work very plain and no color, plastic plants. We were there for 1 hour, left at 7:00. No one came to fill the tables.. only one party arrived during our entire stay... they got the table white white chairs. What? The lookup of available tables and offer from only 2 at start was facade! I suspect something has changed here recently because our meals did not look like the photos you see in the 4 and 5 star reviews and what about all the awards in 2022 to 2024. We visited this restaurant many years ago and had a poor experince. Gave it a second chance .. attracted by menu and recent reviews... but was just as bad. There is no attention to detail.. not in the menu.. not in the cooking of food.. not in the new decore/renovation. Never again.
Great food, great service. Highly reccomend
First time at Little Billy s, it was a holiday and closed late in the evening and yet the owner Leo still fired up his kitchen and made us two dishes upon request. Amazing customer service, friendliness, and commitment to great food. Our new favorite restaurant and oh yeah, delicious Greek and Mediterranean fare, large portions, and extras. Highly recommend!!!
The three of us went for a birthday dinner. The server Valencia was fantastic, and the food was great! Healthy portions, tender meat and awesome Moussaka. Highly recommend. Food : 5/5
Wonderful restaurant that has been open for 40 years. Great, welcoming staff, who treated us like family, even though we were a loud bunch ;) Food was delicious and the portions were huge, so much that the majority of us had leftovers for the next day. My family and I will definitely be back. Thank you.
Your prices have become over the top. Rather go to the Keg or DT. Cheaper.
Server Ashish and the rest of the staff were great!
Our food was so delicious and cooked and served to perfection. Little Billy s definitely deserves a Michelin star! Food
Moussaka is one of the best yummy! Calamari is delicious but price for portion . So far my fave Greek restaurant for quality in this part of town. Food
The owner is amazing. So kind and considerate, and really impresses me everytime I watch him interact with customers. Oh! And the food isnt bad too!!!
Just wow. Great food, Great staff Kid-friendliness: They had really clean high chair. I asked for fries with no salt for the kid and they were kind enough to provide it.
We were excited about trying some Greek food from here. The girl at the counter was super nice and friendly upon picking up our food, and it was ready exactly when it was promised. Parking was easy and the atmosphere in the restarant was chill. However once home, we were not impressed with our respective choices (chicken souvlaki/moussaka) as both dishes were very, very salty, sans the Greek salad and Pita bread. We didn t finish our meals which is a bummer caused the food was quite expensive for two dinners. Oh well, live and learn.
I ve eaten at little Billy s a few times and each time was amazing. Food, service and ambiance outstanding. This time I had ordered some family style platters from Little Billy s for a 60 wedding Anniversary party to be delivered. The food was beyond delicious!!! The platters disappeared really fast. The guests couldn t stop raving about it!! Everything went seamless. Thank you again.
Absolutely flawless. Service, food and drinks were outstanding.
If it wasnt too salty, I would give it five stars.
Excellent steak, the meal took longer than expected but was worth every second of the wait. Couldnt eat it all! Huge portions.
Came here with the fam. They were able to seat 8. They can do large parties and have an outdoor area in the back. Food came relatively quickly for a large group. Nicely decorated place with an airy feeling. Small bathrooms. Owner seemed stressed and a little sour. Gave me unwelcome vibes. I had the ribeye steak. It was nicely charred, but lacking in juciness and flavour for the price.
Can t believe the service here. We sat down and waited for someone to come even say hi to us at the table. We were there for easily 5 minutes and had someone walk by our table twice. She just walked by our table and circled the restaurant. Didn t even offer us a menu or water. Then a another party came in and everyone went right away to help them. So we left. Maybe next time be better at going up and serving people and not make them wait. Edit: I m not an ex-employee so I don t know what you re trying to say. Maybe you just want me to take down a negative review because you don t like what I had to say.
We had an exceptional meal
Excellent food with service to match! Shoutout to our server Chloe who was exceptional and ensured our large groups orders and bill payments went smoothly and efficiently. Will definitely go back again!
Fast, food is good, friendly, and open later than other places. Try the ribs!
Great food, amazing service.
What a great place!! Feels like home.
Great service and place!
Amazing place. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent!
Food was great! Very generous portions and well priced. 4 course was good, chicken was tender, no complaints and overall really good!
This place deserves more stars than it has. Their souvlaki and saganaki are a personal favorite.
Little Billys Restaurant offers a charming and cozy dining experience that truly captures the essence of home-cooked comfort. The interior, reminiscent of a classic family kitchen, sets a warm and welcoming tone. The menu, though limited, excels in quality. Their signature dish, the herb-crusted roast chicken, is a must-try - succulent and flavourful with perfectly balanced seasoning. Vegetarian options are available but somewhat limited. Service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Prices are reasonable, making it an excellent choice for casual family dining or a relaxed evening out.
Great restaurant and amazing staff
It has been many years since we visited this place but last night we held a farewell dinner for a party of 25. We have the whole patio seating to ourselves which is ideal since we have a couple of young kids that need room to run around. Parking is quite easy and the restaurant is clean and spacious. Our server, Chloe, is fantastic. She makes sure our drinks are filled and minimal delays with the food and for a big party like ours not an easy task but she did it with a smile on her face the whole time. Well done, Chloe! Now comes the hard part, the food. First, the ones they do well, roast lamb is substantial and tasty and so is the lamb chops. Ahi tuna also done very well. The seafood platter is a hit and so is the grilled calamari. The solvakis are delicious. The ones not so good, the lasagna is dried with hardly any meat sauce or cheese. The portion is small for what you paid. Old spaghetti factory makes a way better one and is cheaper. One of the steak dishes I noticed is very fatty so they didnt use a good cut which is a no no. The pork schnitzel looks good from the picture on the website but when I tasted it , it is just average. The coating a bit thick and the meat not tenderized enough. Taste more like a shake n bake pork chop which I can do at home. Overall, stick with the Greek specialty they are good at. Still a wonderful place to visit for a large gathering.
Excellent place for a celebration or a cozy dinner for 2. We were here for a fathers day dinner and the seafood platter is definitely a best choice, best value meal. Great service, friendly staff and delicious portions
This is our go to spot for all our date nights. Great food & great service!!
It was a delightful experience! The 4 course dinner was exceptional for the price.
I would not dine at this restaurant again. The BBQ flavor did not appeal to me, and although the chef was friendly, the service felt rushed.
Enjoyed a Thurs night dinner. There are Mon -Thurs specials for$35 great value for the amount of food.
Thank you Leo!!! What a wonderful experience we had yesterday- the food was plentiful and delicious, the service was wonderful, professional and incredibly prompt. You and your staff literally made our day perfect. All of our guests were impressed and we left feeling we all had a wonderful experience!!!
Leo the new owner is doing a great job of keeping a long standing tradition fully alive!
Made a special trip to this place as google has it open until 10pm. It was 7:37pm and it was closed.
Amazing place to dine and have a great time. Would highly recommend! Service and booking on phone was pleasant and easy going. Tasty food!
Had a blast with the group here we all really liked everything and the food and atmosphere was fantastic. Will definitely come back
Enjoyed a really great dinner, along with a bottle of wine and a few cocktails. Service was good and food was amazing.Overall definitely would recommend and go back.
This is great place to dine out and have a good time! :) Highly recommend!
A great little place for lunch or dinner. Pleasant staff and piping hot delicious food. From Monday to Thursday, they have a four-course meal special for a great price.
Great service, fantastic atmosphere, not much else to want here. Thanks for a fantastic evening!
Such a beautiful little place! Very clean, cozy and service impeccable! Top that with the best food! Highly recommend
Lovely Greek restaraunt.
We went to this restaurant because I wanted to eat something new, The restaurant said Mediterranean cousin, but for me, it was more like a Greek cousin; I tried the 4 courses menu; which in general was ok but no great ; ( It has a strong flavor of vinagre and species in all the vegetables ) So give them a try maybe for you works.
I had visited this place a few times with my girlfriend and we decided to go back for Valentine s Day. When we arrived we were told that it was a set menu for that evening. As we had been there before we were looking forward to have the four course meal that we had on our previous visit which costed us about $30 dollars per meal but on this night they were charging $85 per meal. I was shocked to see this and they had two other platter options in which each was over $150 per dish. I understand prices go up on Valentine s Day but to have your menus set up to have a couple spend $250 on meals and drinks is not acceptable. We were very disappointed and honestly felt ripped off.
Valencia was our server and oh my, did she ever hustle tonight. 16 patrons at 6 tables....and she served everyone with a smile and such efficiency! We were 3 and enjoyed starters , salad and soup then mains and desserts. Valencia made us martinis and an old fashioned like a pro! My husband had the lobster linguini, our friend chose the chicken schnitzel and I had the seafood linguini. All of our meals were fabulous. We had room for dessert and treated ourselves to a lava cake as well as the sundaes include d in our 4 course meal. Well head back soon and hopefully Valencia will be our server again! The boss man needs to make sure to give her praise and a raise! Thanks from Sherri, Chris and Ardele.
Tried their roast lamb. It was good but nothing special. Cost a fortune.
Fantastic sorry no photos we ate it too fast.. So good
Love this place They have the best calamari.
Still a fantastic place to eat, lots of good quality food and happy atmosphere! Nice to see some restaurants not compromising quality or value!
Very nice family owned business, a true neighborhood gem. Vibe was excellent, ambience was lively and staff was super friendly. However, be prepared to wait a little as it can get busy and they prepare each dish fresh. Food was very tasty. Only downside was that plating was a little disorganized and pita was completely burned. I would still recommend this place to a friend as it is good for group gatherings and special events.
Unfortunately, this time, I feel disappointed with the food. My kids say, what happend with the food and I thought the same.
My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here tonight (with the kids) and it turned out way better than expected. Sad I only managed to take one photo though. Everything we ordered was tasty. My husband loved his bone-in steak and my daughter loved the fries that came with it. Lamb dish was very tender as well. The mushroom appies are delicious as well as the flaming saganaki. Good portion for the price that it is and I would definitely come back. The service is amazing too, very friendly, family like, I totally recommend.
Fine dining at a fair pricing. We were a group of 6 and everyone had well prepared food. I myself ate the Ahi Tuna, which was amazing, even though a little spicy, but that is a personal preference. Food
We ordered the seafood tower for 2. It was good value for the money, but it felt and tasted like some of the seafood was overcooked. The presentation was beautiful, the servers were pretty nice, although it was on the slower side, but we chocked it up to the restaurant being slammed, it was a full house. Overall, good quality seafood, nice selection, and pretty good value for the money
Steak and other foods are trash! Wait, you want me to talk about this restaurant? Oh, their steak and other foods are amazing. Just joking, good food.
This is a cute and unpretentious but very nice neighborhood restaurant. We had Greek food but theres lots of other options! The hummus and tsatziki were delicious and the spanakopita was one of the best Ive had! Great service, great food and great atmosphere! Try it, youll like it!
go to this restaurant if you like overpriced mid quality food and good atmosphere.
Always great food and service.
We were very disappointed with our experience today. Granted its new years Eve, still unacceptable to charge customers so much for such mediocre food. The new years wasspecial menu $70 for soup, salad, entree and dessert. Soup was bland and looked unappetizing. Ceasar salad was literally just lettuce with sauce and couple bread crumbs. Dessert felt like store bought ice cream with chocolate sauce on it. The main entree we got was steak, and even that was mediocre, Id rather have gone to The Keg. Again I understand new years eve is stressful for restaurants. But customers are still charged premium price.
Very good restaurant! What we ordered was really delicious and the portions were generous. We dont leave there on an empty stomach! The only downside was that the music was a little loud.
Great place, nice staff, and the fry s and chicken cordon bleu is really good I highly recommend it. The place is warm and has a nice atmosphere with fancy glasses.
Tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. I will come here again.
We have ordered take out here many time but this time it was different. We ordered the souvlaki with beef and lamb and moussaka which we have had before but both dishes this time were bland. The moussaka was put in a container way to big for it so it was all spread out and did not look appetizing. Disappointed this time around as we really like the restaurant. Hoping it s a one off.
Staff is really kind! But I think food is over sauced (salty soup, salad is over sauced and so is steak & potato s)
Friendly service, free vanilla ice cream brownie lava cake for birthdays, great Greek cuisine.
Excellent food and very attentive service. We will return.
Spent a wonderful evening at little Billys. There were four of us. Service was great our server was beyond expectation.The food was excellent and presentation. We would recommend this little gem in North Burnaby.
It is my first time there and already disappointed I ordered a bottle of grey monk red wine n server gave us the wrong bottle so I immediately told him. He doesn t seem to know there is actually two kinds of the same brand. The boss came n try to resolve the problem by telling me they actually run out the one I want n asked if I really want that one n if I will be doing a second bottle (told me will have to still charge the regular price on the wrong wine we got unless if I think order second bottle then they can run wine store right away to grab the one I want then we charge me for the price I want which is less) . Also second disappointment is we didn t even finish our appetizer but main coarse arrive. We order to a steak when it is a terrible cut with lots of tendon. Overall not happy with the service there and when we see our bill , we also found it is correct item but one item was charged $5 more than stated on menu or website ! I bet a lot of people will only check correct items but not the amount. Personally I wouldn t recommend Parking: Yea easy parking
This is a $27.00 lasagna dinner. I called and asked if they had made a mistake. They assured me this is the size. Brutal. This looks like someones left overs. Every other place Ive ordered lasagna from you get a FULL 4 by 7 container, for $15.00. Will never order again.
Had high hopes for this place after reading all the reviews. Seems like more than a few of the reviews were bought unfortunately. We went recently for a birthday dinner and the whole thing was dreadful from start to finish. It took over five minutes of a group of four standing at the front desk before any of the staff made eye contact, and even then they continued to ignore us for another 10 minutes before we took our own menus and seated ourselves (at their request). I have no problem doing this, but just a glance and a hey were really busy, be with you soon would have gone far. After being seated, it took 15 minutes and asking twice to get some water for the table. We ordered drinks and food at the same time, fearing we wouldnt get another chance, and the drinks arrived after our food. The cocktails were the ONLY redeeming feature of this place. Our food arrived over an hour after we got to the restaurant, and it was... sad. I ordered penne and it was maybe a tablespoon of the plainest tomato sauce over plain pasta. No salt, no basil, no flavour at all. Could barely even taste the sauce. On the menu it said it came with garlic bread but I never received any. My partner ordered steak medium rare and it came aggressively medium. My partner politely made the server aware, and they did take it back to re-make it but there was a lot of attitude and this is how you ordered it going on. Our friends ordered the 3 course meal (salad, soup and entree) but only received the salad and entree. The restaurant still tried to charge them for the 3 courses. Overall, awful experience. I understand being busy but thats not an excuse to ignore your customers, serve bland/overcooked food and then try to charge for things we never received. Also, tipping options start at 18%... in your dreams Little Billys!!! Never again.
Cozy family style Greek fusion restaurant. The owner (I believe) is very social and friendly. Food is reasonable but a bit pricey. I guess that s what we called inflation.
Excellent service, food is formidable! Very well done! A bit pricey but worth $$. It was a bit loud which is why the 4 star instead of five. The food and the staff make up for it easily!
Great food and terrific and friendly service. Would definitely come here again.
When Harry and his staff managed the kitchen and his wife Irma and her staff managed the restaurant and bar it was a smooth flawless 5 out of 5 star operation of skill and dedication. The customers visiting Little Billys were happy and glad to come. Since Harry and Irma retired from running their operations the quality and ingredients of the dishes has gone down and the price has gone up. Twice in a row now the food has been too salty and the soup is watered down. I miss Harry in the kitchen and Irma at the counter ... they were the best!
One of my favorite places to go! A great spot for an intimate dinner or a larger group event. The food is consistently delicious and their specialty cocktails are definitely worth a try! Im a huge fan of the atmosphere. The renovations and décor create a beautiful Mediterranean atmosphere and their back patio is great for dining year round!
Absolutely fantastic food and service!! A few girlfriends and I enjoyed the spicy prawns, calamari, spanakopita and LB salad! I had the Rose Blossom cocktail made in house. If I could, I would have a few more specialty cocktails, they all looked AMAZING! Cool new hot spot in N.Burnaby. Feels like you are in the Mediterranean. Love the new Reso s!
If you have a self respect don t go to this restaurant! Made a reservation, sitting for half an hour nobody even asks if I want a glass of water. Bar tender is taking shots! I wonder who gave them this good review! Also wondering should I give them five more minutes or should I leave! Horrible horrible horrible! So update: someone came, no virgin drinks and some items are not available! Lucky me!
It was very busy as it was Valentine s Day. The staff were doing their best but it was packed! I will go back again on a more quiet night.
staff is extremely kind
Amazing place, european feel to it which i miss. Glad this place exists. Food is tasty, options, drinks are top notch and the owners and staff are super attentive and kind even when very busy they give their super best! Thanks for having us <3
Great atmosphere, newly renovated, my personal favourites are the assortment of high end cocktails, and the calamari.
Valentines was a night to remember, but for all the wrong reasons. I have not had a dine-out experience this bad in a long time, maybe ever. It ruined the entire evening for me and my girlfriend. I feel bad for the servers and kitchen because it was clearly mismanagement. They overbooked Valentines Day and understaffed it. The food was atrocious. Salad was lettuce and vinegar. Soup was watered down canned Campbells chicken noodle minus the chicken and noodles. Entrees were edible but bland. Desserts (what was left to choose from) was a super hard baklava and a runny/tasteless Creme Brule. Even the bottle of white wine was somehow warm. Im convinced any rating in the past 48 hours that is over a 2-star has to be fake because there didnt look to be a happy person in the restaurant all night, staff included. There was a comedy of serving errors too. 5 minutes to be greeted at the door (you need more than one host on the business night of the year). Cleaning tables with chlorine water IN FRONT OF YOUR CUSTOMERS as they watch you do it before seating them at that table. 10 minutes to get menus at the table. 10 minutes to get anything ordered. 15 minute cocktail service. Etc etc too many to list and this is turning into a rant. Two hour dinner that should have been one. Dont overbook your restaurant because everyone will suffer. Sure, you cashed in big on one night but the long-term negative effects are going to be very bad because of it.
Simply, the BEST GREEK! Seriously. Even take out is great. Eating in is always the best, but I can honestly say, Billys goes above and beyond. Vegetarian options: The BEST!
We forgot to take pictures, what a wonderful experience, from the time you walk in the door until you leave. We are here visiting from Alberta celebrating my FIL bday. We usually go downtown to a certain Greek restaurant, I can honestly say this will be our new go to place. The service was excellent, the food phenomenal, excellent value for your money. WTG job well done Leanne Jiwan
Beautiful
Great ambience. Great food.
We have enjoyed Little Billys over the years, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Food was always good. The restaurant is under new management and has been renovated. Brighter with more tables inside and outside on a patio. Will attract a different crowd. Prefer the way it was ... quieter crowd, more relaxing with candlelit tables. Menu was familiar but food was prepared differently and not as good as before. Wheelchair accessibility: Possible but very tight
Try their Mon to Thurs 4 course chef menu. Great deal leaving you full and looking forward to coming back next week. Food
Nice surprise! We did randomly found this restaurant and it was so good! One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in BC. highly recommend!
Everything we ordered here was fresh, full of flavor, and bursting with goodness. I felt like I was having a wonderful home cooked Greek meal. From the dill scented Spanokopita to the flaky walnutt baklava, our entire experience was a delight. Thankyou Paulina for being so attentive and a wonderful hostess.
Pleasant atmosphere with attentive staff. The saganaki was like a slice of pie. All the portions were generous, so I ended up taking most of my meal home. The prices were on the higher side, but that explains it. I think it was well worth it. The only downside was that while the chairs would be easy to clean, the wooden seats werent comfortable to sit on for the whole time.
5x stars allll around Paulina was an amazing host Leo the owner - felt like I was visiting his home home in Greece. Great hospitality!
The food and the prices were amazing but best of all was the service. We felt so welcomed and the owner was so humble. They even brought my mom a little birthday cheesecake. There was live music and everyone had a really great time. Would recommend.
Excellent food and astmosphere, love this place. We do our family events here and even attended a wedding. The family operating it is friendly and helpful, and the prices fair. This is my go-to when looking for a dinner out, Ive never been dissapointed. I highly recommend it.
Didnt have a good experience. We ordered a bottle of wine the server brought the wine without the glasses, and didnt even open or fill our glasses. The soup was bland and tasted like it was canned soup. We ordered a four course meal where the salad shouldve came before our main entrée. The steak was supposed to be tenderloin but it was very thin and didnt taste or look like it. They ran out of the sundae and gave us crème Brule instead. The crème Brule was curdled and did not taste right. Overall a bad experience from the start to the end. Disappointed.
Love love love the place the food was amazing we ordered 4 courses (steak) and it was delicious the chef was lovely. He came to our table, and he even gave my sons two teddy bears. the girl who served us was so kind and loving I highly recommend trying this place Parking: Easy to park at the back
We chose this restaurant just from the reviews online. Far surpassed my expectations and the wine by the bottle was cheap!! The kids ate every bite of their souvlaki too! Delicious and big portions and so friendly!!! Parking: We parked right out front. Kid-friendliness: Kids would love the souvlaki
My husband and I really enjoyed our meals at this restaurant. The food was excellent, good portions and cooked perfectly. The servers were very friendly. We are looking forward to going back.
Had a nice birthday dinner. Food was very good. I recommend that the chef use way less salt on the ahi tuna, though. Other than that, it was fantastic
Omg the seared calamari was amazing, the saganaki beyond !!!! The atmosphere and the owners make it worth the while: food is soooo goode
Delicious food . Highly recommended. Excellent attention . I would come again.
Great little hide away great food great staff
We had our Anniversary dinner here and loved everything. We basically ordered everything on the menu cause it s hard to choose.
A little jewel in the neighbourhood. Highly recommend. Food is amazing! Go for the roast lamb
Little Billy s was impeccable! The service was great, greeted right away and the wait staff was awesome. The food is incredible! Definitely recommend to all.
I came here to take myself out to a nice dinner. Craving French onion soup and spanikopita, I ordered those first. And that would have been enough for my meal. Flavours were more than on point, I started making noises of enjoyment. Got the chicken parm for my main and everything was fresh and delicious. Just tantalizing on the taste buds. Will definitely come back for more
Sorry but when your told you have 90 minutes to eat and leave not impressed
Somewhat pricey meals, lamb souvelaki was pretty chewy. But otherwise, it was a fairly enjoyable dining experience.
I will avoid going to this place again. The service was slow and poor and I was not impressed with the food either. I expected much more considering the prices on the menu. I had a cordon blue and it wouldnt surprise me if they had bought it from Costcos frozen food isle.
Went here for a work crew get together after work, my first time here and it was great! Atmosphere was stellar, the vibes and decor was very suiting and had great vibes. Most important part, the food! I had the chefs cut bone in rib eye to medium cook and it was perfect! The steak was beautifully seasoned and cooked, the Mediterranean lemon potatoes were delicious along with the seasonal veg and garlic bread. I would highly recommend making a stop at Little Billy s
Thoroughly enjoyed the lamb shoulder I ordered. Very tender and nicely seasoned. The atmosphere is great and well aired. Food came in a timely manner. Service level is amazing and server showed up with a 100%. Overall would recommend this place
Ordered the tenderloin steak with mashed potatoes. It was cooked to perfection. Very enjoyable! Hit the spot. The service was great! Only negative I had was with the Caesar salad, house salad, vegetables, and the side of mushrooms..there was too much vinegar/ lemon in it. Therefore, I did not find it very appetizing and could not eat it. I will be back for the steak and mashed potatoes. Very well priced.
I enjoyed the steak and drinks! Service was good only thing the salads were tangy other than that this place hits the spot.
Good taste food and very nice service Food : 5/5
Hidden little gem we just found. Great food, friendly staff and prices that are reasonable!
Portions are somehow filling you up with Quality of course . Quality of ingredients and preparation is great. Worth every $ spent. Kid-friendliness: Lunch time in the weekends is definitely family time with most people having kids or teenagers. Mostly regular people coming over for QUALITY foods.
Excellent spot in North Burnaby for Greek food. The staff was amazing and friendly. Can t wait to go back again soon.
Love this place for the food & the view. Service is great.
We got penne with tomato sauce and lamb chops. I break my comment into positive and negative sections: Positive: Lamb chops was delicious. The rice wasn t greasy which is a bonus. Lamb chops was well-seasoned. The greek salad that came with it was tasty as well. Service also was good. The gentlemen who was our waiter was fast and respectful. I liked him Negative: Pasta was super mediocre. It s much like the pasta I make at home in a busy day with store bought dry pasta and canned tomato. The food is a little bit overpriced. I expected more meat. In my view, this place is great for a date, a family dinner, or a business meeting but not for a casual lunch.
Fast delicious food
I was really excited to visit for the first time as I heard a lot of great things for many years. We got sat very quick and inside was nice and bright. We ordered seafood pasta, salmon, chicken, calamari, lamb etc. Everything was ok. I never had bucatini? Noodles with seafood pasta and it was interesting. It had a lot of seafood but the pasta was over cooked and could have used more sauce? We asked salmon to be cooked medium and it was little more and the Lamb was pretty good. I think this is the smallest portion of rice I ve ever received ordering chicken souvlaki I think someone said there may have been an ownership change?
The weekday course is the best value set you can get in the town. They have more expensive options and lots of ppl order those but the cheapass set is enough for me.
Fantastic place we stumbled across. Will return.
We had a wonderful birthday dinner for a large party, the dinner was amazing!! We will defiantly be back again soon. Thanks again Little Billy s for making everyone feel like family
I dont often do 5 stars but this place is just that. You MUST try it!! Kid-friendliness: Had 2 kids with us and they had kids meals. Plus were given coloring pages. Food : 5/5 |
Great little restaurant. I must have driven by here hundreds of times and never noticed this place before. Worth stopping and having a nice meal.
Seafood Dish
Very tasty steak! And the rest to him.
Fantastic greek at the base of Burnaby Mountain
Food is always delicious and never disappoints! Theres a reason theyve been around for soon long sure to continue come in as the years pass!
Excellent food, excellent service. You get what you pay for. One of the last places in the city that feels like a real local family run restaurant.
Atehere while on our honeymoon, it was by far the best food we have ever eaten! Our server was amazing and very good at his job! Would recommend 1000 times over!
This was our 2nd time here, the 1st was very good. Service was excellent food was fantastic so we decided to go again with other family members for a going away and a birthday. This time the service was below average food was over cooked and very salty. When we mentioned to the sever nothing was done, I had the French onion soup which was just soup in a bowl with 2 pieces of bread with cheese, then I had a double order of calamari. I asked that the calamari was put on one plate as a meal but came as 2 separate appetizers. One of our members had Mousaka and it was very salty, they also had Ahi Tuna which was also very salty. Overall it was an extremely disappointing experience and probably will never go back again. We came from out of town because our first experience was amazing.
Amazing 2nd generation local family business with fantastic service, great food, and rock bottom price point for the quality and quantity youre getting! We got the 4 course meal and a bottle of really decent wine for $124 after tax and before the tip in total. Their internet went down today, and they handled the challenge with total grace and professionalism!
We visited Little Billys last night. I had the paidaki ribs and my husband had the lamb shank. Both were delicious and came with potatoes/rice/Greek salad/vegetables and bread with tzaiki. Needless to say...we could not finish half of it! We also shared the saganaki appetizer. With a bottle of wine (shared with friends) our bill was $140 with tip. Such a great value. Service was impeccable. Very nice decor with an outside patio. We will be back!
Place was very meh and underwhelming. I came with my family on a Friday night at around 7:30pm, it took us almost 50 minutes to get everyone s food. They were not busy. Worst yet, the food arrived COLD. The steak was COLD. The veggies were COLD. The only thing that was remotely warm was the baked potatoes and a salmon filet. Couldn t be bothered to tell the server because we don t want to sit here for another 50 minutes to wait for new food. The cherry on top was that we were forced an 18% gratuity when we were only a party of 5, and it wasn t stated anywhere on the menu or warned by the server that there would be an automatic gratuity. Had I know, I would have chosen somewhere else. At least be transparent about it All in all very disappointing experience with just meh food, meh service, and forced gratuity. Do not recommend.
The salad i had here was good. reasonable prices for food also
Visited with my husbands family and was pleasantly surprised to find this gem. Although Ive driven by often, I never realized there was a restaurant here. The newly renovated space is lovely, and the owner and staff are incredibly warm and friendly. They even shared jokes with our baby. We enjoyed the dishes we ordered, especially the lamb chop which was outstanding. Great portion sizes too. Well definitely return.
The Greek platter is like WOW!!! So yummy. Love it there!!!!!
We got a great service, the food was really good too
Will go back for sure, excellent friendly service.
We ordered the Greek tower, it wasnt what we asked for but the owner was quick to make the adjustment! Very nice family oriented restaurant, very welcoming.
Whats a gem Little Billys is! We enjoyed steak and seafood while the restaurant was busy and the crowd relaxed, and casual. A pleasant experience so well be back again. Parking: We found parking directly in front of the restaurant.
Go eat here! What are you doing still reading this review?! You should already be in your car!
Great service. Food was great.
The cutest and nicest little place. Friendly staff and good food. The male waiter made our date night perfect. Will return!
My partner and I visited Little Billys this evening for the first time. We were extremely impressed with the menu, food, staff friendliness, price, pretty much everything! We had the preset menu which had soup, salad, (choice, but we both chose) steak and shrimp, and dessert. There were a few awesome looking things on the menu so it was hard to choose, but means well have to go back. I recommend this little gem of a place..
Great food, better service. Warm and friendly.
Best food Ive had in awhile, had the bbq ribs, couldnt have been more tender, will def come back again, definitely recommend
Amazing good and service will definitely have them cater out work lunches again!!
Great place and atmosphere. The owner very hospitable and cares a lot about ensuring that all have a great experience at their restaurant. My wife and I returned to this restaurant after 32 years celebrating our 37th anniversary with our kids. Thank you for the great food and services
Amazing food. Had the steak, chicken livers, calamari dinner and pizza to share with a group of ppl. Good sized portions awesome wine list and easy parking. Highly recommend. I hear they being a belly dancer some weekends. I ll have to check that out.
Busy, happy vibe..great food and the staff definitely do their best to expedite service during high peak while in a very happening place..was Saturday night when my family and I went and it was non-stop packed. The manager was exceptionally busy but went to trouble to make sure we were taken care of very well as a bit of an over booking occurred. Family restaurant, run by a family since 1975. Highly recommend supporting them :) its not a very big location, could maybe try dining on a regular night to avoid the super busyness.
The food was excellent for our lunch. The service was way above 5 stars. Super nice. They were just on the end of a renovation that was still in progress, so I can only say that I think the atmosphere will be very good. Its a family run better diner and has an excellent menu. They have a daily special that runs for lunch and dinner that is very special. Seriously, you do owe it to yourself and your friends and loved ones to come for that special. There is, I am confident, nothing in the city to compare. It was a delight.
Delicious food! Really great promotion offer for a 4 course meal. Nice decor Food : 5/5
Love the quiet atmosphere that little Billys had to offer. The food and service was excellent!
Went there last night for my grandsons 21st Birthday. My first time there but not my last. The food and service went above and beyond. I had the calamari dinner and was so good not overly battered or greasy. Everyone was very pleased with their meals. My daughter booked this place and we were very happy she did
If this place doesn t leave you with a smile on your face, I feel sorry. Food was top notch and service excellent. Enjoy! Parking: Parking around back. Kid-friendliness: Seemed very family oriented.
The place was super busy, but the food was great and the manager had gone out of his way to make sure we were comfortable.
We had dinner for 10 people. The owner of that restaurant is very helpful and guides us to select dishes. We all have a wonderful time. In my view, one table should be removed to give more space for easy movement, as there is less room for free movement. People are going to have good food and comfortable lunch/dinner, food is superb but needs little space for a comfortable lunch/dinner.
Excellent food. Very friendly owner, super accomodating. Great new look after renovations.
