This isn't the first time this team has made me feel truly happy! Jade, our server, was incredibly accommodating, Simon was exceptionally professional, and Joe's warm smile and friendly demeanor brightened our experience. A huge thank you to everyone for going above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and cared for. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed! P.S. Thanks for my chiles toreados, Mexican style.

I'm a fan of Cactus Clubs since I'm in Vancouver, however in my last experiences, their service has really shocked me. First of all, their volume of meal portions has significantly reduced compared to 2-3 years ago while the prices increased! Secondly, from the moment the waiters bring the food to the table until they hand over the bill, they keep checking in, asking if you need anything. It’s nonstop, and they don't let you enjoy your meal or time to chat with your friends—it’s honestly annoying! Last week, right in the middle of an important conversation with my boss, and while I was still eating my lunch, the waiter came over for the third or fourth time, and interrupted me to ask if I needed a to-go box!!!!!😳 He completely threw off my conversation and didn't allow me to even enjoy my food and time! I think Cactus really needs to train their staff for a respectful behavior and customer service!

I thought I had left a review a while ago but can't find it so this is long overdue! I always enjoy the food here and the service is consistently great. I get cravings for the fish tacos with yam fries and stop by when I feel the need for a treat. I have been served by Kianna several times and it is time to give her special thanks for always taking great care of me! I also want to thank Joe for taking great care of my daughter and I one day when we had to be somewhere and didn't have much time.

Great happy hour menu! Some actual meals instead of mere snacks. Sometimes your dinner is not till 10 pm on a busy day…Enjoyed blacken chicken and steak frits. Great service and nice patio seating as well!

The sirloin steak was tender and prepared to order. The kale salad was fresh and quite good. I’d never had a grilled avocado before; not sure the grill added anything to the avocado, other than an element of novelty. The hazy IPA on tap was delightful. Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Overall, a great experience. Recommended.

We had a lovely and funny server and there’s lots of inside and outside/shaded seating. The menu is changing as of today so many old favourites are gone like the frozen cosmo (frozen aperol spritz now) and the chili chicken among many others. the vegan/plant based menu will remain the same for now. i love cactus club and this is one of the many locations i love although there are no views like at english bay

Love stopping by the original Cactus Club location. Very friendly staff provide great team service. The Calamari is good, but could use a little "pop" with either a different dip or a little more spice in the batter. We liked the wing dip better with it, so ask for that. I found the craft pilsner to be very good, but would like to see a free main stream beers as alternate choices. We'll be back again. https://amzn.to/3YNoIZv

The little old restaurant on Pemberton Road in North Vancouver was the first Cactus Club. It has more of a pubby feel, with dark wood beams, pictures in antique looking frames and a choice of high or regular tables. An enclosed and heated patio greatly increases the capacity. Food and service are both good as always.

It s such a shame how cactus has clearly taken a turn for the worse since it was sold. In 20 plus years, I like many, couldn t ever find a reason to be unhappy with cactus, their food or their service. I have now had two bad meals in person in kelowna. Now, for the 4th delivery order in a row, north van just clearly doesn t care to get orders right. It s like they cut their quality check person. It s not the same great and reliable brand it use to be.

Ive never actually managed to be seated at this location, despite trying on a number of occasions. Weve had a group of 7 make a reservation and then be told we need to sit at 2 tables, and then that same group, with a reservation again, be told we can sit at high tops shoved together or not be seated. Definitely makes one not want to bother.

Was looking to reconnect with this place after moving out of North Van a few years ago. Super glad to see them mostly keep the original layout and ambience of the place. Reception was pleasant and accommodating of my request for a booth inside (looking for AC on a 30c day!), as the inside was only about half full. Went right into menu and ordered one of of my go to items. Server C.K. was unsmiling and a bit snappy but I chalked it up to the heat and maybe a hectic lunch hour earlier. Food was great as always! However as I was looking to catch up with some work emails, server kept checking on me to ask curtly how the food was (the first couple times) and if I was done /needed a box which I thought was strange considering my food wasn t even halfway done and I was there about half an hour. I m quite mindful of overstaying, and I kept checking my watch as it was a late working lunch for me. One time she asked so loudly the customers at the next table couldn t help but look at us. When done, I asked for the bill and because I felt the service was not up to par from my recollection, I lowered gratuity to 12% from the recommended 18%. I thought that was fair, given the food was great, reception and other staff were nice except my server. C.K. was not happy at all. She printed out my receipt, left it rolled on the table, quickly turned around and left in a huff without saying a word. Not judging her by this one incident, as she may have had a challenging day, but why take it out on your patrons? Not keen on going back in the future. Unpleasant experience today erased all the fun memories of this place for me. Maybe the 12% tip was too high.

We came for a typical Sunday early dinner. There was a long piece of blonde hair in my burger. Sent it back and it took while for my new burger to arrive it also kind of killed my appetite. They ended up charging for the new burger as well. Its interesting to note how different cactus was before it got acquired by Earls. Just saying. Not impressed.

Ordered a veggie burger and half fries. Was charged an extra $2.75 without being told! It not like I received an extra amount. The small amount of fries and sald were miniscule. Even the burger was the this of a McDonalds kids burger. Total rip off at $25. The competition never rips customers off like this. Vegetarian options: Veggie burger not the impossible bgr

STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOCATION. Last Thursday was on our way for an impromptu dinner (also attempted to call a few times and no one answered). Listing showed the restaurant closes at 11pm, showed up at 10pm only to be told due to renovations theyre closing early and not seating anyone. Most of the restaurant was empty and they were still serving multiple tables. The gentleman who greeted us was extremely dismissive and rude. Disappointing experience.

Had the worst service. Entered after 9pm on a weekend. The place had a few occupied tables, but otherwise quite empty. My partner was driving so couldnt drink alcohol, and I asked for a few minutes to review the cocktail menu. Our server didnt seem too fond of us only ordering food to start. She never came back to get my order, and when it came time for the bill, we had to go up and ask for it after waiting so long, and even then it took 5-10 minutes for her to finally bring it. Whats frustrating is that the table behind us had customers. My partner is a lawyer and Im Director, were not exactly trouble makers. The only thing we can put it down to was that we didnt order drinks at the start, and seen as a cheap table because of that.

I recently visited with my family and I must say, the experience this time was exceptional, thanks to our server Joe! While I ve frequented this establishment numerous times before, and have enjoyed the food, which is consistently good, this visit stood out because of Joe s outstanding service. Not only did Joe attend to us promptly and efficiently, but he also went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was memorable. His care made us feel valued. What truly impressed me was how he interacted with our young daughter. Joe was very patient and engaging, which not only made her feel special, but contributed to her good behaviour throughout the meal. It s rare to find someone who can effortlessly cater to both adults and children alike, and Joe mastered it flawlessly. Overall, our visit to the Cactus Club was elevated to a whole new level, all thanks to Joe s exceptional service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone not only looking for great food, but an unforgettable family dining experience. Kid-friendliness: Joe our server, was patient and engaging with our little one which not only made her feel special, but contributed to her good behaviour throughout the meal. They also provided colouring sheets

My fiancée and I ordered the rain coast greens, mini burgers and spaghetti, all to share. The spaghetti came out first then the salad and mini burgers together. While we didn t specify the order, it s pretty standard to have the salad come out before the main. Not too much of an issue but the salad was missing the pecans. When we notified our waitress, she apologized and brought some out on the side. We added them to the salad but immediately noticed how abnormally spicy they were. The rain coast greens is one of our favourite items and have had it many times at other locations so we know how it s supposed to taste. I told this to the waitress and in the end she comped a beer but really should have taken off the rain coast greens. Of course these were all small issues but added together we were not impressed. Will stay away from this location in the future.

the impossible burger is my go to at cactus club being vegan. I ordered the vegan impossible burger and fries tonight via doordash for pick-up. I got to the restaurant before the order was ready and waited 10 minutes, so it couldnt have been sitting there waiting for me. I also live 3 minutes away. I get home and it is ICE COLD - the bun isnt cooked at all, the patty is basically frozen. The fries were colder than a January day in Edmonton. so disappointed, going to make the longer drive to park royal next time, ugh. Reply to Caroline: Thanks Caroline, but it s unfortunate you need to speak to your staff about serving cold/uncooked food. Cheers!

I have been coming to this cactus club for more years than Id like to admit. The problem is its the same restaurant that it was in 1988. And for an average tasting steak at $50, the ambience needs to be better. The beautiful beach and ocean view at Cactus Club English Bay does justify the price, although the parking issues make it unpleasant if you choose to drive there (theres valet parking nearby, but by the time you tip the driver the usual $20, it adds $33.00 to the cost of your evening. And Cactus Club just isnt impressive enough to justify that. Rather go to Tableau or Gothams

I had horrible service yesterday i felt very uncomfortable and judged they were extremely slow with everything as they were just huddled by the bar talking to each other and there was only a couple people dining in at the time we just watched as our drinks just sat there while they were all talking to each other by the time our drinks came they were a melted mess im definitely disappointed in the service i highly recommend to everyone not to come to this location

My recent visit to Cactus Club Cafe was an absolute nightmare, and its all thanks to the abysmal service we received, especially from the waiter named Joe. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of disappointing, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone. First and foremost, Joes attitude was downright appalling. He greeted us with an indifferent expression and seemed bothered by our presence. Throughout the entire meal, he displayed no interest in assisting us or even taking our orders properly. It was as if he was doing us a favor by gracing us with his presence. Not only was Joe rude, but he also completely neglected his responsibilities. We had to wait an unreasonably long time just to get a menu and even longer for him to finally come over to take our drink orders. Once the drinks arrived, they were wrong, and we had to flag down another staff member to get the situation resolved. As if that wasnt enough, Joe was nowhere to be found when we needed refills or had questions about the menu. It felt like we were invisible, and he was deliberately avoiding us. Its unbelievable that someone can be employed in the service industry while providing no service whatsoever. The food itself was mediocre at best, but the terrible service overshadowed any positive aspects of the dining experience. The lack of attention and care from Joe made the meal incredibly frustrating and ruined what should have been an enjoyable outing. Its a shame that Cactus Club Cafe allows such incompetent and disrespectful individuals like Joe to represent their establishment. I highly recommend avoiding this place unless youre willing to tolerate subpar service and a rude waiter. There are plenty of other restaurants in town where youll be treated with the respect and courtesy that every paying customer deserves.

I guess my only concern was sitting on the patio overlooking the small car dealership. They started up a car and the exhaust fumes were bad for 3-4 minutes.

Their happy hour menu cant be beat and is much appreciated in the era of some places charging $25 dollars for a burger. Get here, support the original location, happy hour or otherwise! Building goodwill with your customers - they do it well!

I get being sentimental and keeping the original spot open but man does this place put the chain to shame. The charm isnt there it seems run down and out of place. The food also wasnt consistent to other CBs Ive been to and we go often. There were 5 servers hanging around the entrance while we were trying to wave them down!

The food tasted good, but the server was really disappointing. She didnt bring me water and didnt even refill my coffee. She didnt even ask me if the food was okay. Even the food I ordered came out late. I didnt even want to give a tip. There was really no consideration for the guests. I like Cactus but I will never go to this branch!

I came with some friends, and it was our first time, but gotta say we all loved it! From the drinks and appetizers and over all, their main courses are just on point. Highly recommend the Frozen Brazilian drink, the Jalapeño Margarita drink, and Hot Chicken+Pickles to start... That only made us want to check out what else they have in store! Plus, the ambiance and staff were great.

I had family visiting from Ireland and decided to take them here.. food was nice,but when we received our bill we had 4 extra Heineken on there..luckily none of us where drinking at this point so we knew straight away. We decided to go back the following week because hey mistakes happen and the food was nice. Our waiter explained to us it was happy hour with certain drinks on the menu. Said they were half price all day..got the bill and thought it was a bit high again, but unfortunately didnt look at the receipt till we got home and realized they had charged us full price for the drinks. Then tried calling to explain this..25 minutes later we were still on hold. Restaurant was empty.

Ordered food through their website. Estimated delivery was 45 min. Called them after 90 min and spoke to manager Leticia. She told us that they are busy and the website estimate is never accurate. Eventually received our food 120 min from the time we ordered. We were not looking to get any discounts. We would have just appreciated knowing the delay as we had hungry kids waiting. Will never order again from here.

Be aware, they charge full price for the happy hour items. I ordered Steak Frites, which was $26 in the happy hour menu. When I got the check I was charged $33.75. I showed it to the server, she said there was a mistake, and they ll fix it. After a long wait she came back with a $4.25 reduction to the check. I said this is still not the happy hour price, to which she responded it is because of the taxes! I said, no it is a mistake, she said let me go fix it again. She came back with a $6.75 reduction which still did not make it the price on the menu. I asked to speak to her manager, and asked him how hard is it to honor their own happy hour menu prices, and not make a billing mistake 3 times in a row? The moral of the story is if you order from happy hour menu at this location, check your receipt at the end, and if there is a mistake make sure to double check even if they assure you that they ve taken care of it. My friends, and I will never go back to this place again.

Not my favourite Cactus Club location. The atmosphere at this location resembles an old country club. Also, it s a bit small and you can well hear what people are talking about at a table next to you. The food we got was tasting good, as you would except in Cactus, but the water had a distinct chlorine taste.
