What can I say, this iconic, institution of a restaurant has made a complete turn around! I used to dine here often, because at this very least, it was decent. But what I never expected was to be completely satisfied with the entire experience! The staff have always been attentive, friendly and accommodating. What lacked for me was the quality of food. Today my boyfriend and I enjoyed the Los amigos hash ( I added some avocado and an extra egg). My boyfriend got his usual- the door crasher. Our eggs were cooked perfectly with glorious orange yolks that oozed with luscious goodness, the food was hot, fresh and well seasoned. We also order a half order of pancakes which were hot and fluffy and to sweeten the experience, Chef Wes gave us some chocolate chip cookies to end our meal. Really great to see the whole team doing well! So, thank you all for making our breakfast a memorable one. We look forward to supporting the team, service staff Chef Wes & his team as well as the current owners refreshed vision of the Eighties Restaurant in the future. Kudos to you all. 👏🏽 Best, M & M 🥂

With a decor that looks like it survived since the 80s, Eighties Restaurant is a chill and relaxed lunch spot that offers made to order food that does push any borders of the imagination. It arrives hot, fresh and quickly, which are the main pros of the place, plating could use some care, fries dumped on top of the sandwich is rarely a benefit. Don't come for the atmosphere unless you love the used pub/diner decor, service is fine and functional, and you can understand that regulars are abound in a place like this. Nothing pushed boundaries and this place operates as a safe space in both the mental and physical capacities.

I've been coming to Eighties for years, and it’s still one of my absolute go-to spots. When the girls and I get together for Sunday brunch, we almost always end up here. The team is so friendly and welcoming to our whole crew—even the little ones! Esteban especially, always smiling and happy to chat, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Eighties is filled with so many good memories, and I can’t wait to be back to make more.

Headed over to Lower Lonsdale to run an errand after long gym session. Had heard of the "80s Restaurant" so headed up to Civic Plaza at 14th Street to check it out. Nice low-key vintage vibes -- think classic homey diner feel with wrap-around balcony outdoor seating for warm/summer days. Bar and screens for watching hockey/football matches. Friendly welcoming people and amazing waffles, French toast and eggs benny on the all-day breakfast part of their menu. Dinner section also features veal cutlets, fish & chips, Salisbury steak etc. Great convenient central Lonsdale location and great people.

Had brunch at Eighies Restaurant yesterday. Located on the best areas North Vancouver on a lovely little side street. I was greeted warmly when I arrived and given a choice of seating. The server immediately made sure I had water and The menu while not expansive does offer a variety of (predominantly) cuisine choices. Once my friend arrived we were given time to scan the menu and make our choices. I ordered the burger 🍔 Fries 🍟 The food arrived in good time - We both enjoyed our meals and found them satisfying and tasty. The only tiny complaint I might have is I think the presentation of the food could be turned up a notch. Following our main course we both shared the Pepsi , Overall we really enjoyed our meal. We were helped by a couple of servers and both were outstanding! Thank you we will be back.

I’ve ordered delivery from here several times, and it’s been very tasty! Always the vegetarian omelette. Today I think the cook just wanted to go home. Potatoes burnt on the outside yet somehow still mushy on the inside. Flavourless. Omelette was even worse, salt and pepper couldn’t even save it! I don’t know how you make food with so many ingredients have such non-existent taste?? It’s honestly an impressive feat, somebody call in Ripley’s !! Two stars simply because the toast was acceptable and the omelette wasn’t burnt- otherwise this was a truly embarrassing meal. I could’ve made something 12x tastier at home and I wish I would’ve. What a waste of 20 dollars. Please, save your cash and go to Cora’s instead. Your brunch cravings will NOT be satiated here. Edit: Thank you for the offer but I am extremely reluctant to eat anything else made here, no offence!

This is one of my favorite brunch and lunch places in the city. The prices are reasonable and although the place has an 80s vibe, it's very clean. The staff are friendly and the food feels healthy and home cooked. The toasts and burger buns are super chewy and flavourfull! Fries were also crispy and fresh. Overall, I always enjoy my time here!

Update Jul.24: I believe the 80s changed ownership once again, so you'll see some different menu items. Still feels the same. Eighties Scramble now has tasty potatoes on the side. Lost Amigo Hash is a new 'bowl' addition. Still as satisfying. ---- Jul.22: The 80s was recently purchased by the Smoke & Bones folks. Still looks the same, some of the same staff, some of the same menu items but a different looking menu. Loved that you could customize your omelette fillings (not possible in the past without upcharge) though I did miss cheese as a basic filling. The 80s Special Scramble, however, had the addition of hashbrowns but noticeably fewer eggs on top and was disappointing. We'll keep coming back to try our favs!

We ordered breakfast, two meals, both portions were small, one door crasher and chicken strips and fries, the chicken tenders were very small looked nothing like their display pics. The door crasher eggs were just plain again very small portions. However the turkey sausages very the only highlight of the two meals. Will never order breakfast from there again

Dined here recently to celebrate Fathers Day. Terrible experience. Our server was the worst. Orders were put down in front of the wrong people, without checking. Kids started eating the wrong meals. Our Dads meal had to be remade, an extra 20 minute wsit for him. Over easy eggs came sunny side up, and therefore not eaten. My MonteCristo sandwich was filled with disgusting turkey chunks, rubbery cheese, and ham with the rind on. NEVER going back.

You gotta eat here. ***** Probably the best value breakfast joint in the lower mainland area. Awesome prices, even better homestyle cooking. Also, the amazing views. - UPDATE 2024. ** Came back again. I think the owners have changed. Prices have gone through the roof while quality has gone down along with portions. It is expensive to eat here now. Much better breakfast places elsewhere. Service is still gold .

April 22, 2024

This was by far the most disgusting food I ve ever had. Disappointing delivery happens. This place goes beyond that. It s not even for human consumption. Everything was burnt to a crisp, the most awful hash browns I ve ever had. Like how does one screw up hash browns. I won t even talk about my benny, that was also burnt to a crisp with the inedible poached eggs. Thanks for ruining my Sunday with the worst food I ve ever had. Hands down. Don t be fooled by their pics on door dash. Like how is this place even open for business?

April 22, 2024

This establishment was my go to for as long that I can remember. Due to the new ownership it has changed dramatically for the worse. The remaining floor staff that had been employed there for years had informed me that a new supplier had been contracted for the majority of the ingredients used in their dishes. Therfore the quality that we have expected is no longer applicable. The new hollandaise is no longer being stored in a warm bath to be ready for service but instead its in a squeeze bottle to be served cold. The ONLY item that has been maintained with the same quality and control as before are the pan fried potatoes. But.. we all know we dont come for potatoes. **New ownership has even changed the potatoes. Eighties is long gone now. I guess were forced to pay an arm and a leg for gas to drive over the bridge to wait in line at Bons instead. Just saying

Last Sunday was my first visit in over a decade due to moving to Surrey. Until then it was a regular with great food at good value pricing. Not any more. My Ruben was dry and crunchy on bread that looked like it shrunk in the laundry. When i asked what my choices were for a side, I selected the garden salad, then was surprised that this cup of salad, that is always included at other restaurants, was an extra $3! The server was pleasant and the atmosphere as I remember it, although was weird that their Christmas tree was still up at almost the end of January. I will go again but be more scrutinizing on my menu selections.

What can I say about this place. It s been a staple for myself for a long time and I always enjoy coming here. Staff are kind and attentive, atmosphere is great and the food is good too. The only bad experience I ve had here was handle so well and so quickly. They took responsibility and handled it, was awesome to see. I will always recommend people check this place out and support this restaurant. Dietary restrictions: When I had someone who was gluten free they accommodated for it.

Its not a very eighties restaurant so maybe a name change is warranted. But thats not the main problem here. Im not really used to being nickel-and-dimed at a place that calls itself a restaurant; yeah COVID and inflation was a thing! But $4.25 for drip coffee? $4 for a couple tomato slices added to your meal. They didnt tell me a bit of mayonnaise was $2 (which is fine by me) but seeing it later on my bill without knowing? I ordered the patty melt which had decent flavour but it was barely toasted so the bread texture was odd here. The patty was very tough and tight to chew!! That was crazy, stop mixing the meat so much, the texture was awful. I thought the price of this entree was quite reasonable, but I guess that explains why there was barely any fries on my plate? The fries from here are not made fresh, clearly the frozen type bought in bulk so how much money did they save leaving so much of my plate empty? It doesnt make sense. It really seemed like a decent place to eat but its methods are not very classy. My vegetarian friend saw not many options as well. I will say the staff as a team seemed nice.

There was a small problem with the order they brought me sausage instead of bacon and the eggs werent done right but it wasnt a problem I mentioned it to the owner and the server and they deducted it from the bill.

Rated a 3 cuz service was so good and always has been. Big change, this was the only place u could get real potato hash browns opposed to the greasy cubes now served. That was the main reason we went there...poached eggs on those potatoes was to die for. Good note though, the mimosas r great and very inexpensive. To new owner, why change what was working...bring back the old hash browns PLEASE! White Spot did from comments.

Won t be coming back here. I was disappointed to discover that getting a latte with oat milk was not an option, and the eggs benny was mediocre. I also found a hair in the hash browns which really grossed me out. I showed the hair to the server but we were still charged the regular price for the meal. I think we should have at least received a discount due to this hygiene issue. There are much better places in North Vancouver to go for brunch.

My review the Eighties is high because its a super nostalgic experience for me. Ive literally been going since a was a few months old. My visits are fewer and far between now that I livw further away, but everytime I done at the Eighties, the food tastes exactly how I remember it. And I like that. I love knowing exactly what to expect. Im never disappointed. For a less biased review you can talk to my husband... But hes not writing this. I am. And I would totally recommend the Eighties.

Neighbourhood diner that appears to be popular with the locals! I wasnt too hungry so had heir Caesar Salad for lunch. They were out of romaine lettuce, so substituted with other salad greens. It tasted fine and had a welcome abundance of bacon bits. Others in my group had their Shrimp & Avocado Sandwich, which is one of their favourites. The staff were very friendly. The others in my group frequent the restaurant often and I could tell the staff enjoyed chatting with them! They have a great location off Lonsdale.

Burger and beer for $17 special is sooooooooooooo good too! Noel the new owner and head chef has really madeover the place. Cheap doubles for $6 and $5 beer all day plus an 80 TV for sports watching. I may sound like I am biased and I guess I am as the food and drinks are all excellent and reasonably priced. Nice to go out without breaking the bank. We are off for brunch/lunch right now to Eighties. See you there!

Under new ownership and a new menu, I found this place to be nice and clean. Service attentive. Had the eggs amigo: my eggs were poached perfectly, nice grilled potatoes and hollandaise on the side as requested. I wanted more veggies in my dish such as spinach, onions and peppers, but thats all. I had an americano. Its got a diner vibe with a good view on the patio which I noticed no one used but I dont know why.

The review is for its coffee only. It takes a small effort to make a pot of good coffee. Please invest in good coffee beans and do some taste tests before before making it available to paying customers. Coffee is the first thing to arrive at the table. And having a good coffee to start the meal is important. Bad watered down coffee just ruins whatever good food that are being served.

So I ve been an eightys fan for over 30 years. I understand they are under new ownership but though hey what could they change . Today we decided to door dash all day breakfast Got the usual eggs Benny .it was horrible, the worst I think I ve had.. the hollandaise sauce was just awful. The eggs were the size of Robbin eggs, the hash browns were very over cooked. I asked for bacon and tomato and there was no bacon What a disappointment. Sadly I think that was my last time ordering there The change of ownership I don t think has been for the better

Slowest service I ve ever experienced. Forgot about us over and over again on the patio. Sat for 15 minutes before a server found us, 1.5 hours before food arrived and another 20 minutes of asking for a box and the bill. Food was fine but I should not be spending 2+ hours to eat mediocre diner food.

I frequently order breakfast burritos from this place. That was until the last time. Burrito was fine, but the salsa, which I paid an additional cost to get extra, was full of pasta. Which was disgusting. Makes you wonder what other cross-contamination takes place in this restaurant. Also not helped by the kitchen staff sitting on the dirty ground with rats everywhere with their kitchen clothes on. I think this place needs to retrain their staff on proper food safety protocols. I also hear from the servers that they allegedly have a sexual harrassment problem from the kitchen staff to the female servers. Wont be going back here until these problems are solved or they get a visit from a health inspector.

They changed the hash browns to some gross greasy over seasoned pan fried potatoes. The old ones were THE only reason I came here.

After not being there for over a year, I was told there was a new owner, and a new cook. My last experience with eighties was totally upsetting, getting raw sausage and salted eggs, was over a year ago, but not realizing that the original owner sold it a couple of years ago? I did understand that the new owner back then, didnt have any knowledge on how to cook breakfast! Now another new owner has taking eighties over. I went to try the food again On oct2 2023 I went to eighties, order the bacon &eggs and I was so delited to see the presentation of the breakfast, and the thickness of the bacon and the yellow of the egg yolk, and also the small red potatoes cut in quarters, it was so good ! I ate it all. And the price was very fair ,for a full breakfast! I will be back! And cant wait to try the new cooks hamburgers.

Updated review. The servers are good but the prices are ridiculous! I came in for the all-day breakfast. It was almost $20 with tax and tip for eggs, bacon and potatoes. I assumed that meant it was a huge quantity which I didn t want. My server said they could do a half plate. My ONE egg was overcooked and the potatoes were burnt. No drink. It came to $15! When I complained about the price, the server told me that the managers say it s Lonsdale pricing . Well they certainly won t be getting my money again. Good fast service. Tasteless egg bennies.

Not bad. We had the cheeseburger w/ fries, and a poutine. Fries are frozen, which is always a meh . Milkshake was barely chocolate but the server did tell us that they just switched brands of syrup, for what that s worth. Poutine would ve been very good if they d used fresh fries.

Ive never had a worse Clubhouse sandwich anywhere Avocado black and hard. Sandwich cold... which left the bacon with congealed grease coating it, Ugh! The restaurant looks its age. Needs a deep clean...am aware of how Covid, high rents, and lack of finding good reliable staff has taken its toll, but something basic as a Clubhouse...

December 22, 2023

Order from doordash. $60 breakfast meal for two. Not the eighties that we used to go for the last 15 years . As shown on Photos we got Boiled egg & burned potato instead of eggs Benny Builder & hashbrown. The muffin was soak from grease or water dripping from the boiled egg. Its a shame how this restaurant turn to since Ive always introduce this place to friends and family. I hope this will change.

Long-term North Van people like to romanticize this place, like it has a cult following. But its the worst. We ate there today with friends who love it and even they couldnt believe how small portion sizes are. Your eggs benny are a joke and you should be ashamed at how small the food looked on the plate for the price of it. To sub a veggie patty for a MEAT patty is $6 extra. Six dollars extra!!!! I dont support places that upcharge for vegetarian offerings, especially when its the only real option for non-meat eaters on the menu. Also, I asked for one small modification (dry toast) and it came sopping with butter. Its not difficult. Oh, and the ketchup lid had black mold in it. Disgusting!!

★★
December 22, 2023

Pretty poor amount and quality of food. Ordered the the Sausage Eggs Benedict. It was two breakfast sauages cut in half and placed on what can only be described as a English muffin but looked more like a round piece of cardboard. If you are going to overcharge for this meal at least give me enough hashbrowns to make up one potato. I would not have gone here, but my friends insisted and even they were disappointed in the reduction of food they were served. Vegetarian options: Up charging $6.50 for a vegetarian burger patty is ridiculous. If your that hard up for cash why even offer it.

Its fresh and the ONLY place with the perfect amount of lemon and real butter. The service has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Thank you!!

December 22, 2023

Easily the worst restaurant breakfast Ive had in many years. Burnt onion/ red pepper mix .They were so black they were unrecognizable as onions or peppers. Slices of chorizo black (not just well done) on one side. This was mixed with potatoes prepped the previous day which is common practice and which I dont have a problem with, but youve got to reheat them. These were cold. The real problem here was that whoever was behind the grill put this mess out to be served not to mention the waiter serving it. Avoid this place at all costs.
