Thirsty Penguin Grillhouse - Burnaby, British Columbia

Service is friendly but the food is WAY overpriced. Quality is what you might expect from hockey rink food, but at a nice restaurant price. Paid $14.50 for a chicken Caesar salad. And it was old reheated chicken. Tasted ok, edible, but only worth $7.00 ... at the most. Kids meals are overpriced as well. I would bring your own food if I were you Read more

Nice and clean ambiance. The service was a bit slow, but my friend and I enjoyed eating tasty burgers with salads/fries while watching the hockey games. Will definitely come back.

If you bartend here, they specifically ask you to pour the excess foam from all the different beers on tap, into a jug, and place it in the bars ice well then re use it and mix it into pints and jugs as soon as the foam sets. HUGE FOODSAFE ... ISSUE. They literally enforce and make it mandatory for you to mix old beer foam into others beers behind the bar its disgusting. Do not drink beer from this establishment.

2.5/5 stars Come here at least once every two weeks or once a week to watch my bf play hockey and like many other patrons, sit in the bar area to watch games. Takes servers over 20min to even come to my table to ask if I want anything. Tonight in particular, ... it took someone almost 30min to come to my table. It's not like they were crazy busy serving A LOT of big parties. (It's a Monday night...) I sat by myself, but close to other tables who had 3-6 ppl already having been served and every time I saw the server go to those bigger tables I would glance up at them but they didn't even look in my direction until finally, after about 15min, I got up and had to GET MY OWN MENU ( ☹️), then after another 10min or so, I glanced up at the bar where BOTH servers were doing something and one of them FINALLY came over and asked if I wanted something... like seriously, even if I'm not gonna order food right away, they should at least be greeting EVERY person who comes sits in the bar service area wether alone or in a group and offer menus.... just because they're a average bar/pub in a skating arena, they are still a food service business and doesn't mean they can forget about the smaller tables and quieter customers... 2.5/5 stars for food is average Service 2/5. Very inconsistent and slow to greet but nice once they finally get to you Read more

used to eat here before classes across the street every week. the "loaded veggie burger" is actually really good! though I swear I could taste the grill so guessing they don't separate it from the meat products.. luckily that doesn't really bother me. often lots of kids and families ... around during the week, lots of TV's playing various hockey and soccer games.
