Had New York Steak Dinner. Perfect 10oz. If you go to other restaurants, it’s unlikely to get this portion at this price. Very reasonable price. Appreciate it. 10oz steak with mashed potato and sautéed vegetables definitely make a full stomach. Very satisfied.

Classic setting and menu. Had a good breakfast here. Nice touch with mint in the water! And of course the decor is steeped in nostalgia and history.

I used to come here as a little kid, more than 45 years ago, and stepping inside now feels like flipping through an old photo album. The room? Just the same as I remember it, frozen in time. The Reuben? Toasty, warm, and exactly the kind of comfort food you crave when you want to relive the good old days. On those rainy days, the Tomahawk’s your cozy refuge. Slip into a booth or pull up a bar stool, and let the simple, hearty cooking take you back to simpler times.

Wow ! I almost met my match as a ' clean your plate ' generation dude, baby boomer ! I had the mixed platter. And ok, when you see a pic of what you order, it normally looks bigger than what you get BUT this breakfast was HUGE, GIGANTIC...but, I'm still undefeated, finished it. Food quality EXCELLENT, Environment inside great, service very very good. Son, had the steak breakfast combo, Wow!

This restaurant has been operating by the same family for 98 years, quite something. The place is decorated with native carvings etc on the walls and ceiling. They even have a free cardboard headband which looks like a native Indian headress. When I was a kid they were made of real feathers really cool. We would play with them for weeks until they fell apart. Now about the food everyone gets a large bottle on their table with mint leaves after you are seated. Their yukon breakfast features many slices of back bacon and delicious cube potatoes and free run eggs. My favourite dish is the Salisbury steak with creamy mashed potatoes with tasty gravy and eldente mixed vegetables, my mouth waters everytime I think of this organic Salisbury steak. It's the best Salisbury steak I have ever tasted and I've tried many but this is the best!!! Their burgers are also very good!! All the food is very tasty as well as their desserts, lemon meringue pie, etc

Beautiful old building with wood trusses supporting the ceiling. It was a Jahovah Witness lodge before becoming a restaurant. They serve breakfast all day, and their omelets were terrific. The staff was very friendly. Bathrooms were clean, as was the restaurant. It is a very popular spot. The outside only shows the street number, 1540 aside from the two totem poles. We drove past it. It is like a museum with hundreds of native West Coast indigenous objects hanging from the support beams and along the bar. The two paddles in the picture, on the top, are over 80 years old.

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 Atmosphere: 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.

Its just a pleasant moment when youre spending your time in such a warm, cozy local restaurant and enjoying ordering any kind of food that you d like from its exciting menu. It will be more exciting when you find out that you are hosting in a 98 years old restaurant ... highly recommend it....

Always like this kitschy place indigenous theme diner apparently opened since 1926. Good diner food, hardy breakfast and staples like meatloaf and roasted turkey dinner. A must try place for all foodie. Just a heads up that although the place is clean it is older and does require some deep cleaning as its filled with memorabilia. The forced air heating definitely needs service as it smell of mustiness.

Have lived on the north shore for 25 years and thought we d give this place a try for lunch today. Big Mistake! Waited over 5 minutes for the owner to acknowledge us and then point at a table for us to sit at where everyone was jammed into one section of the restaurant. The atmosphere is tired, dark and gloomy and cluttered with junk and there appeared to be only one waitress working. We were about to leave when she finally arrived to take our order. The sandwiches were tasty but served on small plates with a very small portion of fries. I asked for multigrain bread but got white. The ketchup bottle is reused, refilled and the inside of the cap was nasty and blackened with old ketchup. I couldn t get out of this place fast enough.

I went here for a birthday brunch and i ordered the burger and fries which tasted very mediocre. I am not a fan of fries with a battered texture. I usually don t go to diners because eating out is very expensive these days. Also I went with my friend s family and the tables are really close together which feels claustrophobic. The only part of the restaurant that I liked was the indigenous decorations and the fact that it is one of the oldest operating restaurants in the Vancouver Area.

Visited today, return customer. Always amazing food, Skookum Chief is a filling meal, contemplated the classic eggs Benny (my personal favorite). Service with a smile, food tasty with a very generous portion. Atmosphere feels like home, especially when Mr Chamberlain personally thanks you with sincerity and a handshake for sharing your time at the Tomahawk Restaurant. The house hot sauce is amazing and deserves a place in your fridge, available for purchase

It was my first time visiting this legendary & historic restaurant. Such a magical place. The decor was quite pleasing to the eyes. I went with a gentleman whos been going there for nearly 50 years, and another whos gone a number of times in recent years. It was a bonus to be there with someone whod been going there since childhood. He had some stories to tell about his many past visits. I had the hearty Skookum Chief burger with fries, and it was super delicious and quite filling. The coffee was really good too. I was so full after the visit. Had to pick up a souvenir rubber ducky on my way out. Ill definitely be going back there. Highly recommended.

We have been coming to Tomahawk for many years (once or twice a year). This last visit, we felt the overall experience was not as good as before and the fact that there was no line up, as there has been before, explained how we felt about it: -Service was not as attentive -Coffee is now limited to one refill only -I ordered the Yukon Breakfast and bacon was cold and Toasts were a bit limp. -On the positive side, prices are still reasonable. We might give it one more try, in case this recent experience was a one-off. It is an establishment on the North Shore so hopefully ownership will take note and address concerns raised by their customers, so that it will be around and flourishing for many more years.

I highly recommend this address for meat lovers who want to treat themselves. Certainly the prices are higher than the competition but the quality is really present on the plate and the products are really high quality. The meats really have a lot of flavor as well as all the accompaniments. Everything is of course halal. The service is warm and friendly. Nothing to say, go for it!

August 22, 2024

Finally went after hearing about this place for years. I understand that it used to be a great place with good service and food. The decor is still quite interesting and novel. But on to the actual experience at 9:15 AM. The service was ridiculously slow; the food was cold; the coffee was bitter. I complained about the coffee and was told there are two kinds of coffee. Do I want the other kind? What the hell? There were 4 occupied tables so the dour waitress was not overrun with customers. To sum up, it was possibly the second or third worst restaurant experience Ive had in 25 years in Vancouver. And the older gentleman, either a host or a manager sitting at the counter by the entrance who of course got his food most assuredly did not add to the ambience and atmosphere of the has been restaurant.

Ive been an occasional visitor all of my adult life. Ive never had a bad meal here. Because of the decor it is a terrific place to bring out of town friends. Love the history. When I worked nearby I would come for breakfast often. At other times I would almost always order the Skookum Chief burger and encourage my guests to try it also. Its definitely a mouthful! Check their hours before visiting. I read a few years ago that they were having staffing problems, which is a shame because this is absolutely a one of a kind spot.

A North Shore GEM that must be seen and experienced! As someone who grew up just a few blocks away, I had tried the food a number of times when my mom would go, but for whatever reason... I had never been inside until this year! The food has always been incredible, but Im shocked it took me so long to fully appreciate the love and care taken to build the Tomahawk. A tribute to local indigenous culture, and countless totems lining the walls, its a really wonderful local eatery. We had great service, with mint water, which was so refreshing! I got the Breakfast Bowl and my dad got an omelet. Highly recommend both! But Dad mentioned the veggies werent super cooked, which he liked, but I would let them know if you like your veggies fried. Ill be back for more very soon.

Better breakfast places so probably will not go back for breakfast. No Sourdough or rye bread options. Friend ordered apple pie after but said wasnt sweet enough. Cherry pie filling was not sweet but was perfect as most overly sweet. Will try dinner next time as there are supposed to be good choices recommended for dinner.

Love the history and energy that emits from this sacred place. It provides everything that Vancouver is lacking from the restaurant industry. The food is top notch home cooking. Non pretentious and fair pricing, service is very warm and approachable. They really make you feel at home and welcome regardless of status.

Being my first time I had to opt for the Yukon Style Bacon & Eggs. Perfectly cooked, delicious but a load of food so order accordingly! Next time itll be eggs benedict and a slice of homemade pie to go! Service was great. Buzzy, diner atmosphere. What else could you want? Mint in your water bottle? Sure!!! Absolutely legendary.

Some things change, some things dont. We took our children to the Tomahawk Restaurant years ago and today we took two grandchildren. It seems that little had changed, from the menu to the amusing paper placemats. Someone said, If it aint broke, dont fix it. One thing that might have been added to is the huge collection of Indigenous artifacts. Expect comfort foods, not haute cuisine. In these days of high restaurant prices, Tomahawk meals are reasonably priced. Service tonight was faultless.

Great old school restaurant with home cooked meals and pie that will leave you satisfied and happy. My favorite is the mixed grill breakfast with the most bacon I have ever seen on one plate it has eggs, yukon style bacon, hot dog cut-up beef patty, hashbrowns,mushrooms Sharp cheddar onion lettuce tomato I guess so you can make a sandwich all for only 23 dollars lets not forget about the roast beef and turkey dinner plus beef burgers but my favorite is the nice selection of house made pie . Parking: There are many spots in front if not there is street parking and just down the street at a strip mall also

Tomahawk Restaurant - the oldest family run restaurant in BC. Seriously, this is something special, just go. The best part of a great restaurant will always be the food, but come for a restaurants ambience. The local Skwxwú7mesh artwork is amazing and have some great food too. I ordered the Chief Simon Baker Burger Organic ground beef patty, Yukon-style bacon, sautéed sliced fresh mushrooms and aged cheddar cheese. It s the best burger that I ve had in a long, long time. Even on the drive home I was contemplating going back and getting another burger but I was too full. I will be back soon. Note: The breakfast looks fantastic too.

I cant remember when Ive had a better burger, everything else is going to be compared to Tomahawk. I saw Tomahawk advertised on Facebook and mentioned it to a friend, after a month and a half we finally got there. Saturday at lunch hour, small wait they cycle people in and out without them feeling hurried. Ordered and lunch was served in a timely manner. Portions were great, the quality is 2nd to none, staff polite and professional and the place oozes history. I hear its the longest serving restaurant in the lower mainland(1926). Its certainly not going to be another month before they see me again. BTW not that it should be a concern but youre not going to break the bank having a meal there. I wish them all the success there is. I hope theyre around for generations to come.

I do not recommend. The management has really let their customer service go. All the way from dirty cups and utensils to a general disrespect for their long term customers. It s unfortunate. I have been going there since 1968, but have now stopped because of the malaise of the manager. In all fairness, nobody needs to go to a restaurant to be treated poorly, especially after having supported their business for over 50 years.

Been going to this restaurant for 25 years. Rustic feel.. I don t mind the older feel of it all, as it s always clean and put together. Bathrooms are old but always clean! It feels very home like. I love supporting smaller and original businesses, especially one where I have always been treated with kindness, DELICIOUS food every single visit, and memories galore. The owner is almost always there, open to chatting with anyone! We have learned a lot about the history of the restaurant, their family, and north van! I will continue to go, even though I live an hour away now! Thank you for everything!

Tomahawk Restaurant is fantastic!! Every time Ive been here the food is delicious and they use the best quality ingredients. The restaurant has an abundance of art, the service is great and prices are really reasonable. Chuck and the team really care about every person who visits and the meals they serve.

Well do I have a story for you. My friend and I walk in here, tripping and cold. We are sat down in a dark corner. Santa Claus to our right, we got on with it. Looking down we found a map, the highlight of this visit. We ordered strawberry milkshakes that were just heavenly. But oh lord were the sounds loud. You could hear it in your bones. I myself ordered what was perhaps the best grilled cheese ever. While eating, we found that their hot sauce was rather mild. Anyhow, wagwan crodie

Me and my boyfriend went there this morning for the first time in about 20 years... Considering that, I was pretty excited to try it out, given the good reviews. Ill start by saying that the food was decent, big portions (if thats what youre looking for). Service was so so, it took a long time to be asked if we needed anything else and we were never asked if we wanted a coffee refills (we had to track them down). I asked for medium poached and got very soft-poached instead, with very wet whites. Now for the main thing, when my plate arrived, the server accidentally dumped one of the eggs bennies on my lap, with the egg landing in my hand. I had hollandaise all over my dress and I burned my hand from the egg landing right in my hand. She was apologetic, gave me some napkins and replaced my egg. However, that was it. I thought wed get a were sorry about that, we took your eggs off the bill or gave you a discount, is your hand okay (it hurt for a bit) at the end, etc etc. Literally nothing. Ive never had food dumped in my lap before or on my skin and while I totally get that was an accident, I think they could have handled it way better.

We were excited since it s been around forever and our local group of five had never been so we were willing to wait for our table. We were having a pleasant breakfast but our server literally said to us after our quick breakfast I don t want to rush you but there is another group waiting when we were finishing up our coffee and water when some of us went to use the washroom. This was after we tipped well and after no one came around to refill coffee and I had to ask twice (two different servers) for coffee to get a single refill (not multiple ones in our breakfast). Had the refill happened reasonably quickly then it wouldn t have even taken more time to finish the cup. AND our group waited about half an hour to get our table and we were quite fast and a very polite and straightforward group. When we got to the front after being rushed, it wasn t even busy anymore! How does she expect us to ever want to return getting that treatment? Of course you re rushing us by saying that. She can ask herself if she would have said that to a bunch of white men trying to finish their coffee at the end of their meal? Unfortunately, she waited until after we tipped well to be rude. It may be that the other servers are not like her though. Let s hope. But it left a bitter taste in our mouths. (Klara)

Look-wise, unchanging through several decades... But a note of caution: At our last visit, they charged us $9.30 for doing the following substitution on both of our meals: Skip toast & hash browns - instead add some tomato slices. The food was fine and good, but nine dollars and thirty cents (without warning from the server as she took our order), thats ridiculous.

Store information Canadian restaurant Can be reached by bus from downtown and close to the bus stop The store is spacious and has counter seats, so its easy to come by even if youre alone. There is also a shop Clean restroom available Wi-Fi available Cafe information Yukon style Bacon &Eggs $18.85 I came here because I wanted to eat Canadian food! Canada has restaurants from many different countries, and on the other hand, you dont really see Canadian food, so it was rare! This dish seems to be a famous menu at the restaurant! The bacon was round, big, salty and delicious You can choose how you want your eggs fried, and you can choose whether you want the bread to be brown or white. The inside of the store had traditional Canadian items, so I felt like I was able to taste the original Canadian food, which was great! It was well worth the trip! *I took a photo of the meal, but for some reason I couldnt post it.

Have come here my entire life. Comfort Food is awesome . Pies are out of this world! Love the eclectic atmosphere. Would have given 5 stars, but tonight in an absolutely empty restaurant they charged an extra $5 because my kids were splitting a $23 meal instead of buying a $9.75 kids meal. I asked if we could just purchase a pie instead and was told no. It has to be an entre. So silly. Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu, but no breakfast option.

We dropped in for dinner with another couple. There were a few tables occupied but it wasn t too busy. I ordered a Reuben Sandwich with fries. The combination of the corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut was amazing. The fries were crunchy and golden and a nice compliment to the sandwich. My wife had the Chief Simon Baker burger, which is a beef patty, cheddar cheese and bacon with fresh mushrooms and fries. I almost chose that as well as I love mushrooms. She enjoyed her burger and it was so good and filling that I had to help her with the fries. I also had a Boylan s root beer and a slice of Lemon Meringue pie which was delightful! Not too filling to finish off the meal. The other couple had a Salisbury Steak and I can t remember the other entree. They had an apple pie for dessert which they make great fruit pies! They loved it! Total bill for 2 of us was about $57 including a good tip. We eat here every few months and always have a good meal. I d also recommend the Yorkshire Pudding and Roast Beef along with the Mixed Grill. But the latter dish requires a huge appetite. Parking: Lots of free parking right around the restaurant. Harder to find parking for breakfast or brunch than dinner.
