Perfect comfort food! Shared Mac and cheese, French onion soup and a Caesar salad. All perfection, but you're gonna pay for it. I love their patio at the kits location, give them your number shop around and they will call you when your table is ready

One of my favourite places to eat in the city. Everything tastes like it has been made with love (and butter). Atmosphere is very cottagey and cozy. Great service always. Portions are ample.

Great: Basically everything (I've tried almost everything). My favourites are the gooey grillers and the french onion soup. The sandwich is made with french bread that is crispy on the outside (butter, I'm... more

Great service and good food! Interior is warm & intimate. Will come back to try something heartier because I just got the quinoa salad and tomato soup. Both delicious but heard great things about the chicken pot pie!

This place is amazing. The food is consistently delicious and the staff are friendly and polite. It's cozy and the atmosphere is relaxing. The waiter was great too, he was confident in his job and he wasn't overly attentive which was nice. Didn't ask me if my meal was great mid chew which I appreciated! This place has been consistent with it's quality service and food. Love Burgoo!

Burgoo is just a dandy ol' spot. I've been to the location on 4th a few times and it never disappoints. Staff is always friendly, be it the host(ess), bartender, and wait staff. Everyone seems to go the extra mile for customers. For example, we were sitting at the bar once, waiting for our table and I mentioned to my friend "I wonder how much longer we have" and the bartender was on it--he just... more

Best comfort food in the city! Their sandwiches are always made on point and you can choose to pair it with a salad or soup (lunch special) their desserts are delicious too

This place tastes like the food was taken from a store and put in front of you. Novel, but the ingredients don't taste fresh. Go to Safeway nearby or Whole Foods and pick up your own ingredients. Even if you screw up trying to recreate Burgoo, it will still taste better than the store bought "icky" aftertaste from Burgoo. I went back several times just to test if it was just me that I had a... more

Came here for a Yelp meeting and I was really craving a delicious bowl of soup. This place is a fantastic place to get some grade-A comfort food!

The whole place feels incredibly cozy, and I love the spot that's a bit of a covered patio near the front of the restaurant. I ordered their soup of the day and a side caesar salad, and all was well in my world. The soup was so flavourful and rich... more

Burgoo is definitely one of the best spots for brunch in Vancouver. Beautiful decor, excellent trendy atmosphere, perfect ambiance, kind stuff and unique food and delicious.

We ordered Kentucky Burgoo, Beef Bourguignon, Burgoo and Eggs. Beef Bourguignon is enough for two small appetite girls I would say.

In the past, I've really enjoyed my dining experiences at Burgoo. Admittedly, I've previously had a negative experience at their Main location, but I let it slip as it wasn't a big deal (they took a long time to serve us).

Anyways, my friends and I were celebrating the start of the Thanksgiving long weekend, and we were looking forward to indulging in comfort food in a nice, cozy environment.... more

Oh man, Burgoo. What can I say that hasn't already been said? I came here most recently with Alex G and Marje B for some tasty bites and sips and it was a blast!

The service was great, very attentive, and the food was amazing! I had the ratatouille, which I (in a fit of discipline) split in two and only ate half of. It was so rich and flavourful, with tasty cheese and breadcrumbs on top for... more

On a cold, rainy Vancouver day, nothing is more comforting than a bowl of soup. So every time the weather changes to rain, I take that as an excuse to go to Burgoo.

I've heard nothing but good things about this place and since 3 of my fave things are served here (mac n cheese, grilled cheese and tomato soup) I had to give it a try! Overall I had a great experience.

We went for an early dinner so it wasn't busy at all and we were able to sit wherever we want. Service was quick and I ended up ordering the tomato soup and mac and cheese... no surprise there... more

I love Burgoo! I normally go to the Main Street location though I've been to the West 4th location a few times now. The service is consistently good. Servers are always attentive and very friendly.

I can't help but get the strawberry lemonade every time I go. It is so yummy and refreshing!

I love Burgoo.

Bold statement yes, but backed by tremendous care in preparing some of the best comfort food around and some really great service.

I've been to the other locations (on Main street and also the one on 10th) and was curious to try out the Kits location. Upon entering, you already get a very cozy vibe from the place with it's rustic wood decor and dim lighting.

Burgoo Bistro is a safe haven for my friends and I on 10th. We always get the nacho fuego as a starter. They have a really good caesar salad (or maybe I'm just a sucker for caesar salads) and the tastiest chicken hasn't failed to disappoint. Tomato soup is pretty killer too.

However, I think their brunch is even better. I always get the cinnamon bun french toast - super unhealthy but so... more

I was disappointed with this restaurant.

The biggest problem was the wait. It took almost an hour to bring out 4 sandwiches--and the restaurant was not even half full.

Once the food arrived, it was not worth either the wait or the price. My pulled pork sandwich was small and bland, and the ceasar side salad was even worse, dry and sprinkled with bad cheese. I tried my friends diablo grilled... more

tl;dr - great food, mediocre service, tight seating, good value for price.

At our table, we had a few different dishes: salmon banh mi, grilled cheese, butter chicken, eggs ratatouille, steak potato eggs (?), and a bunch of the soups. All were very happy with the food.

Service was a bit cold and awkward, but very effectively followed a dine in restaurant script. We were given details on... more

Went there with a group of friends recently. Vegan options were limited (but at least the server was very helpful) and I settled for the ratatouille. It was ok, but nothing to write home about, especially as I am French and I had my fair share of ratatouille in my life... The portions were generous, the prices pretty high but we had a good time anyway. I think people enjoy the comfort food side... more

We came here on a hankering for Kentucky Burgoo. Typed 'Burgoo' into yelp and voila! This place is legit. We had grilled cheese (add tomato and bacon) and tomato soup... The combo is called after school special.. So tasty. Also ordered Kentucky Burgoo which was very delicious, a little thicker than I remember in Kentucky but we are awfully far away... GREAT flavor.

I went here on a brunch date. It's definitely the type of place you go to on a Saturday or Sunday when you're hung over and want coffee to keep coming. The food is some serious comfort food. There's a covered area at the front which is great if you want to feel outdoors in the rain. The rest is sort of dark and intimate. Food served in a skillet. Delish. The one caveat: this will be your next... more

Love Burgoo....I don't give a 5 star rating lightly, but would give Burgoo a 4.5 if I could. I like the Main Street location the best for the patio.
Service can be hit and miss, but mostly good. Food is heavy, yes. And delicious....great soups. Well, all the food is good, actually. They also have daily drink specials. Don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table!
