Lonely Planet review for Elbow Room

Expect some verbal sparring at this local hangout where the jokily abusive servers will greet you with the line ‘Move your ass to the table, ’ then shimmy over to demand ‘Are you ready to order, or what?’ It’s all meant warmly – if they don’t insult you, they really don’t like you – so make sure you give as good as you get. Breakfasts (including omelets, eggs Benny and ‘big-ass pancakes’) are legendary here, but the bulging burgers are excellent, too.

    the elbow room "hurry up and order"

    knowles recommends this,

    This small cafe style restaurant is unique in a city with dozens of cafes to choose from, the food is good, fairly priced and the atmosphere is one of a kind, signed pictures of the celebrities who visited cover the walls and servers who aren't afraid to tell you whats what, its laid back and a nice change from the norm, a mandatory stop if you are visiting vancouver. get there early as it is a very popular place.

    Too much fun

    madlinda recommends this,

    I have been to this downtown restaurant several times and always have a blast. The restaurant is sort of small and there are often lineups. The food is excellent and portions are big. The endless cup of coffee is also very nice.
