Grade A Steak & Seafood Restaurant

This place is awesome for breakfast
Great breakfast specials
Low prices
I would eat there again for breakfast
Quaint!

N A S T Y! My fiancè just got done throwing up in the restroom. They have the absolute cheapest quality of meat and eggs. If we were in the United States this place would easily get a C or D. Their chinese food was even terrible! We ate ¹⁄₈^th of everything they brought us and ran for the door (After paying of course).

Low prices, great location, and pleasant service… what could go wrong? I rated these guys so low because their CONSISTENCY is terrible. We ordered three things, two of which had eggs over medium as a side. (We were obviously there for breakfast.) My over-​medium eggs were runny, the whites not even congealed. My partner’s over-​medium eggs were pretty much over hard. The coffee was diner-​quality, which would have been fine if the food were consistent.
I entered with low expectations, and the food honestly could have exceeded that — everything was spiced nicely, the butter on the waffles came on the side so you could monitor that yourself (a nice touch)…but again, a kitchen should produce the same thing every time or else you just can’t meet expectations!

Not impressed. I went here because I saw that they served Canadian and Chinese food, just like Smile Diner on Pender St. I really don’t care about décor in restaurants, this place didn’t even look presentable.
In terms of food, they had a $ 6.95 lunch special for roast beef, which came with mashed potatoes with gravy and veggies. The entrée also came with soup or salad and jello for desert. My food didn’t take long to come. When I got my meal, it reminded me of something I’d find in a high school cafeteria, maybe even worse. It didn’t exactly look appetizing. The roast beef certainly didn’t taste fresh and I didn’t even know what the veggies were, so I didn’t eat them. The only thing I liked out of my whole meal was the soup and potatoes. I guess I shouldn’t have expected much out of a $ 6.95 meal, but I thought the food could have been decent, since the restaurant is called «Grade A Café». I haven’t tried anything else from here, but hopefully their other entrees are better.
If you want a very cheap eat that still tastes good, go to Smile Diner instead. The people are more pleasant and friendlier than here, too.
I don’t see myself going back here since there are hundreds of better restaurants downtown.

This place is really inexpensive but the few dollars you save is traded off for bad food, service, atmosphere and hygiene.

This place has some of the best breakfast food I’ve ever had, and the prices are low. All of their breakfast specials are delicious, the portions are large, and they are inexpensive. The omelette special is particularly good. Try putting jam on the omelette. Yes I know, that sounds weird, but it is surprisingly tasty! They also have really good coffee. It’s nothing fancy, but if you are looking for delicious basic coffee, this is the place for it. They offer free refills on the coffee as well.
They also have some really tasty Chinese food. The fried rice was quite delicious! I would have liked to try more of the items on the Chinese food menu.
I never tried the poutine here, since Fritz is right nearby.
The staff here is really friendly and helpful, particularly if you take the time to talk to them.
When I was in Vancouver for the Olympics I had breakfast here almost every day. I really miss this place, and plan to come back the next time I’m in Vancouver.
(There is some confusion about the name of this place. It is also known as The Grade A Café.)

Grade A gets a D…
The only reason to come here is for the poutine.
Other than that, it is just really dirty and divey and unappetizing.
But the ladies there were nice. It reminded me of Bashful Bull in SF but not as clean… Sorry.
