The Coquitlam Grill

My family and I dine here often, usually after my nephew’s hockey game in the Coquitlam area, And usually for brunch or lunch. I have to say that the service here is excellent, and the food itself is consistent, tasty, and quality is what you would expect from a family style restaurant. I feel that the value for what you get is very good, and prices are fair. Whatever Coquitlam Grill is doing, they are doing A great job because this place is usually packed on the weekends, but the staff is extremely efficient on moving people through the waiting area and into a table. It’s a big restaurant so a lot of people are coming and going. The restaurant is a little dated - It could probably use a little update. But you don’t come to a place like this for the aesthetics, you come here for good food and good value - which Coquitlam Grill delivers time and time again.

Visited yesterday with family for my wife's birthday. Everything was good and the best was Janet! She sang the birthday song with a big lovely smile giving us a small cake with a candle. Thanks Janet and we will always remember your excellent service and warm heart!

A classic, The Coquitlam Grill is our local all day breakfast and homestyle meal restaurant. Easy to access with a large free parking lot available. Handicapped and wheelchair accessible with comfortable booth seating. Many screens and a bar with friendly staff.

Found this place on Google Maps after a family hike around Buntzen Lake and it certainly didn't disappoint. Tired of lining up up for a table at the usual chain restaurants in the Coquitlam area, we wanted to try something new. Parking was easy and there was no wait at all. Seated in a comfortable booth, our server offered to move us or adjust the window blinds in an adjacent booth if the sun was in our eyes; no everything was fine. With so much on the menu at very reasonable prices, it was easy to find something for everyone including the "picky eaters" in the family. Food, service and ambience was excellent, we can't wait to return to try other menu items when in the area again.

Good service zero doubt about it. The food? The highlight was the poutine. Burger was dry. Lasagne was flavourless. Coffee is bland. If you want just simple breakfast grubs then it’s not bad. Expect about $18 easy.

We like to dine in or brunch once a while, the food pretty good, alot of varieties to choose, the yankee pot roast dinner is quite big portion for me, I need to share with my son, he ordered carolina burger was great, the ice tea and decaf coffee are refillable.

Coquitlam Grill is one of those places that feels familiar the moment you walk in — warm lighting, friendly staff, and a menu full of comforting classics that never miss. It’s the kind of restaurant where locals come for relaxed breakfasts, casual dinners, and late-night meals that hit the spot every time.

Been here a handful of times - large parking space shared with other businesses - so it can get crowded on weekends and peak periods. I'm not sure how transit friendly they are, never really looked for a bus stop around here. Large seating space - and generally pretty clean - they have large windows - so plenty of natural light. Service was pretty quick and waitress was friendly - Got the Hulk burger, as it sounded pretty fun - burger was full of flavor - I never know how people eat such big burgers with their hands, so I ended up cutting it up with a fork and knife haha. Onion rings could of used some work - they tasted very bland, and was like lukewarm at best. I'd come again to explore the menu further as there is quite a wide selection.

I love coming here. I am from Vancouver and sometimes I crave a family friendly, non pretentious atmosphere with good food. I came for my birthday and loved my burger. Our second visit was for Thanksgiving turkey dinner and it tasted home cooked and no dishes! A few weeks ago we had brunch and we all enjoyed our dishes. Mexican omelet was a star. The coffee tasted burnt but I added a lot of sugar to balance it out. Service is friendly and efficient. Looking forward to our next visit.

This was our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised with the amazing service and good food The menu seemed to have a little bit of every type of food so I think anyone could find something they like here I have quite a few dietary restrictions that are not a choice for me and the waitress went out of her way to make sure they could accommodate them and she was more than happy to do so and to double check when I wasn't confident that the meal looks like it had the accommodations. And it in fact did. The nice thing is that I ordered the spaghetti and they actually had regular gluten-free spaghetti noodles. Pretty much every place that has a gluten-free pasta option only serves Penne. So that was actually a huge treat for me I also wasn't able to eat the beef in the marinara due to an allergy and they were also able to accommodate that So huge props to them for accommodating my various things and doing it correctly the first time and being happy to do it Everything there was super clean and when servers weren't actively helping customers, they were finding something to do or clean that seem to be valuable like washing windows or something like that which is very impressive because that's not usually the case. That's probably why the place looks so spic and span The server was always there when we needed her and all the staff seemed very happy to help and very competent The food was good. My husband ordered the Mediterranean wrap and when he added the balsamic vinaigrette it went from good to amazing. My son ordered the hamburger and the veggies on it we're very fresh I would definitely recommend checking it out

I ate at Coquitlam grill a while ago and had an amazing meal with my daughter and grandkids. The place was clean, even though the place was packed the servers were not only pleasant but efficient as well. Our server took great care to ensure the kids had a great experience. I highly recommend Coquitlam grill, no matter breakfast, lunch, or supper.

I like the space. Why? It's very spacious, big booths and an open floor plan. Reminds me of American diners, but that still didn't prevent the fun experience of kids running up and down by our booth the entire time. So, the food.... The Mushroom/Swiss burger I asked to be cooked med-rare which I got and it was tasty. I think if they had not served it open it would've been better...cuz you know...you want the fake swiss cheese to melt on top of the sauteed mushrooms.....not sure if the side of mushrooms is just as appealing (see pic) The Jambalaya. Way too much sauce. Technically obliterated all the other lovely ingredients that go into a Jambalaya. So, it just tasted like spicy tomato sauce rather than the prawns, chorizo and green peppers giving it the recognizable unique flavour of a proper Jambalaya. The hot wings. They are battered-deep fried hot wings. Not pan fried. Not mentioned on the menu. If I wanted deep fried chicken....I'd go to KFC. Enough said. The Service was friendly, attentive and genuine.

Gourmet mac & cheese is very good If you like brownies and ice cream The brownie avalanche is for you

Relaxing casual atmosphere with some real good comfort food options, also nice staff and good service. My go to place for good affordable food

Busy Sunday brunch day. Sunday funday, what do ya expect? After some morning exercise, we thought we would give this local joint a shot. I had the Trucker's Breakfast. Large portions and fair pricing. TBH, nothing I could not make myself but always good to get a homey meal made by someone else. Very similar to Denny's. Fair deal, decent pricing, and good service make this place a continuous success.

I have been at this restaurant 2 times. We sat in different areas and wound up with the same waitress. She is worth the 20 to 25% tip. She extremely knowledgeable of the food being served. This is a family restaurant and big. No matter. It seems like there is a cook for every table as the food arrived in no time. The portions are large and came hot. They serve breakfast all day. I had the half ribs and lasagna. The meat just fell off the bone. The lasagna was hot which cooled down a bit while you ate the ribs. The seafood jumbalya was filled with lots of seafood. Everyone had large portions and most finally finished. Great place to take kids of all ages to.Go to this place instead of the mall or elsewhere.

My friend who lives in Coquitlam told me about The Coquitlam Grill. On Friday, they have a full rack of ribs special with spaghetti, garlic bread and Caesar salad for $16.99. You have the option to upgrade your spaghetti to lasagna but we chose not to. The ribs were fall of the bone ribs. I wish they were a bit more saucy. The ribs were delicious. They only have one flavor for the ribs and its the standard bbq flavor. The Caesar salad was my favorite. It was a good size and they were very generous with the parmesan cheese. The garlic bread was the Texan style. It was more like garlic thick bread. It was not bad. I wished it was more garlic flavored. The spaghetti was my least favorite. The sauce was cooked with beans / had the bean flavor to it. This place seems to be locals favorite. They were very busy on the night I arrived. It was a full house. But I guess with Covid, not all tables/ booth seats were used. Portion size was huge. We left very full. It was definitely a great deal. Also there is free parking outside.

Saturday morning breakfast to celebrate a birthday. I had the Greek Omelette with sourdough bread and the birthday girl had the traditional breakfast and subbed the eggs for sourdough bread. Service is quick & friendly. Some tables blocked off for COVID. Food was nice. Good value. Under $30 for both meals Hash browns nice. Pancakes were spot-on, as were the sausages Greek Omelette had gets and spinach which were generously portioned. Good meal Seems like a popular spot Nothing fancy

The best part about the experience at this place was the hostess and the prompt service.. Ordered two eggs with bacon, brown toast and coffee... The eggs were done perfectly, the bacon was light and crisp and the fries were nice and hot. Coffee was good as well. Everything tasted good and was served promptly with hardly any wait.. The hostess was super kind, polite and very sweet... Definitely coming back here again to try some more eats...

I never thought much of this outwardly nondescript restaurant. When I grew up in the area I'm pretty sure it was something else. My parents wanted to go for breakfast so we came to the Coquitlam Grill, where apparently they're regulars. I had the salmon eggs benedict. I asked for the hollandaise on the side. I was literally given a soup cup full of the stuff. I used about 2 tablespoons. The eggs benny was superb, I thought it was interesting that some of the salmon tasted sweet. Hashbrowns were also great. Amazing service with constant coffee refills. I thought the prices were reasonable. The menu is huge. I'd be scared to come here outside of breakfast hours for fear I wouldn't know what to order. Overall, a great locals place with super friendly staff.

After attempting the Coquitlam Crunch and conquering it to completion, we were starving!!!!! My friend treated us to a lovely lunch. They had the Alfredo Mushroom Chicken Penne, made with real cream, parmesan cheese, and garlic covering penne noodles and topped with grilled chicken breast and angel hair parmesan. I had the Mac and Cheese topped with melted cheese. Both meals were served with caesar salad and garlic bread. The serving was large, we finished our meal it was perfect. The restaurant is clean and airy with large windows. It was quite busy. Our server was respectful, the food served in good time. The restaurant and bathroom are both clean. I would definitely go back. Thank you for the awesome experience!!!!!

If you are lucky enough to get Susan as your server you will be treated very well! She is very kind, thoughtful and sweet. She made our day. Came in for lunch and mentioned it was my sons birthday and she brought him a chocolate brownie dessert and even sang happy birthday to him. The food is great, prices are fair but the service today thanks to Susan was amazing. This restaurant is lucky to have her!

The booth that we were seated in smelled really bad. It was dirty and sticky. I ordered the European breakfast. The scrambled eggs was inedible. It smelled of dirty old cooking oil. The perogies were so dry and overcooked. The Bavarian sausage and the rye marble bread were the only editable items and they were just okay, nothing special. My bf ordered the strawberry milkshake that was pretty tasty. Needless to say, I would never come back here for inedible smelly food and dirty stinky sticky booths.

Favourite place to go! The food is amazing everytime! The waitresses are so friendly and have excellent service.

This seemed to be a favorite place for people living in Coquitlam, it is like their "go-to" place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is like a family oriented diner, so you do see many families here with little kids. The place is spacious with 2 sections and a fairly big waiting area to sit. Service is usually good and friendly. Make payment at the cashier near the front at the end of the meal, like at IHOP. It has all day breakfast which is awesome for those who like eggs at night. There are probably specials every night though I only know of the one on Friday night -- ribs with pasta, caesar salad and garlic toast! The ribs are nice, though not always fall off the bone tender. You can upgrade the spaghetti to the lasagna (I like both versions) too. The portion is quite big and you can pack the leftover home. I struggle to finish mine, then I saw a senior pack her leftover. So I will do that in future and have it for lunch the next day. I also tried the Yankee pot roast which was good. The mashed potato was a bit gummy so that could be better. The chicken wings were also not bad. There is liver and onion on the menu. I am always intrigued by it though I generally dislike liver. It is just such a retro dish which grandma will eat. I am sure one day I will bite the bullet and just order that to try. The breakfast dishes look good too, so those will be other things for me to order in future. Parking is available out front and in the parking lot next to it. It can get hot inside when it is a sunny day though, wish they have the AC on at full blast.

The Coquitlam Grill is a classic place my partner and I frequent for breakfast. We definitely prefer the breakfast menu over lunch and dinner. The servers are very friendly and the kitchen is fairly fast. We found the dinner burgers a little overpriced for what you get but the breakfast menu portion sizes and pricing are fantastic! There is usually a line in the morning so come early!

Fresh calamari not over cooked. Fish & chips large pieces and tasty. Service was fast. Turkey club (Better Cheddar club) was delicious. Real pieces of turkey. Air Conditioning was great on a hot day like today. Plenty of parking in the lot.

My all-time favourite place for brunch! Prices are reasonable and portions are very filling. My favourite brunch item is the French breakfast, which comes with 2 thick slices of french toast, eggs, potatoes and your choice of bacon or sausage. I also got the Ultimate omelette as well and it was so so good! The servers here are always so friendly and service is pretty good. It can get very busy during peak hours though. The place is very large and spacious; perfect for small or large parties. It's located right across Tim Horton's in Coquitlam, so there is lots of parking space.

Our servers name was Janet I believe. She was so fun and took care of us very well. Broccoli cheddar soup is the best I've ever had. Not too thick like Ricky's.. Eggs benny were on point. Great hollandaise.

Enjoyed the food and service. Would've loved to see more vegan options though but they do accommodate which is always nice

very displeased with how much the prices have risen . you're cheaping out on what brought loyal clientele in . have been a long time many years patron . Since the pandemic things changed . used to get quality meals and good portions at very family friendly prices . Now portions are smaller , quality is seriously lacking . prices don't reflect anything other than money grabs . a lousy pot of tea is now 4 dollars with a small mug ? like really so you are charging for the Red Rose tea bag? better order water and get your tea at Timmies. staff has changed drastically . no more Cherry and the usual king time staff that made you feel like family . seems every time you go in there is a whole new swath of staff . So disappointed as we loved this place . i hope the owner aka the controlling one reads this and takes steps real ones to bring back what made this place a staple and pleasure to go esp with out of town visitors .

We thoroughly enjoy their food. Whether you visit for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you're always greeted warmly, and the generous portions at an affordable price make this place even more appealing. Highly recommended!

Lot's of choices. Recommend Steak&egg and truck driver's breakfast. Will try others next time.

I had the fully loaded Benny, it was salty. There was an issue with their pos machine, the waitress noted I did not leave a tip and literally threw the receipt on the table, second time it went through and again she threw it on the table. Different story with my friend who left a tip, she was so nice. Seriously I'm not required to tip, either you can have your employer pay you more or find another job. She expects a tip for taking our order and then bringing the food to the table.

I have been going to the Coquitlam Grill for years . It is a great establishment with awesome , reasonably priced food . The wait staff are attentive , professional and very pleasant. The rare time I have had any kind of issue at all ,it was rectified quickly , and over and above what i expected . If you want a quick lunch , or a large party don't hesitate to visit

Great place! My first time, we went there with family, we all had appies and meals, everyone was super happy, great taste, great portion size, great quality, and good service. Can't think of anything we didn't like.

Hmmm French toast :D I also enjoy the pulled pork Mac and cheese, there are few things in this world as cheesy.

It seems like eating mama's or grandma's cooking. Servings are big, and the service is always great. Thanks Joe

Love this place. Feels like an old school restaurant. Always had amazing food and great service,

Came here for breakfast before my hair appointment l. Was reluctant to come here from some of the reviews I read but obviously I can't judge based on that and had to try it out for myself. I actually wasn't disappointed as I thought I would be. We ordered chicken and waffles and over easy eggs. The breaded fried chicken was a chicken breast. It was juicy waffles was freshly made. I'm not a big waffle fan but it was delicious. Greek egg benny: it was decent, I liked the waffle and chicken better. The poached eggs was more on the overly cooked side but still good to eat. Hash browns was cubed and made perfectly. Service was fairly quick as well. They topped off our coffees we received food less than 15-20 mins It's like a Denny's but mom and pop Denny's. If you want comfort food come check them out! Here are some photos

An hour from arriving to get our food, 40 minutes of that waiting for a table, with no one in line in front of us. I'd have no issue had we expected the wait, but we were told 5-10 minutes, and it ended up being 40. Food was good but overpriced, could have got the same meal/quality for 40% less most other places. Would have been a solid 3.49 stars had they been truthful with the wait time.

I'm updating my review from 3 to 4 stars. Things have changed. The menu is still the same, but everything has been turnt up one notch. Maybe a new chef / head cook? The chicken sandwiches are so delicious. Gone are the overbattered and greasy ones, which were tasty don't get me wrong, but probably pretty unhealthy. The new chicken is lightly breaded, juicy, and flavourful. The toppings all seem improved too. I think they're using a fancier mayo even. The service has always been great, and now the food is up a level. It's turning into an even better local spot for diner eats.

So disappointing that they don't take Reservations. Even if it was on Saturdays/Sundays only. Our family booked elsewhere because we didn't want to risk having to wait for ages for a table for brunch. Great food. Great prices. Great staff.

Straight up nasty. Even bad for hangover food. Go to dennys or even one of the fast food joints in the area instead

The phone is ALWAYS busy and you can't ever call in to place a pickup order. They really need to also update their website or provide an alternative to place take out orders.

The Coquitlam Grill is one of those great spots that you can go to on your own (they have a great little counter bar area) with your family, or with a couple of friends for a nice casual meal. Their menu is quite diverse and I think suited to pretty much anyone. I go there most often for brunch, but have also had lunch & dinner there. The portions are great - and the food is well-cooked. This is not a high-end restaurant, so don't expect fancy food, but rather, some good comfort food, with a lot of healthy options tossed in. My favourite "go to" meal is the Belgian Breakfast - a nice golden waffle served with a side of sausage or bacon and two eggs. They also have a choice of cubed or shredded hasbrowns if they come with your meal, which for me, is a nice option. I loved the cubed potatoes with my eggs benny and shredded hashbrowns with bacon & eggs. Ask for Frank's Hot Sauce, too! yum. Service is great, and they always have a few people walking around with water & coffee refills, so you're never left with an empty cup/glass for long.

Came here again after Diana L. kept raving about their Friday night special. $15 for a full rack of ribs? Oh hello. The dish itself is mostly decent. The ribs are beautiful. Meat just peels right off. Garlic bread is more the "bread" type than the "baguette" style, but are decent. The one thing that's a bit off? The spaghetti. Tastes like it came from a can. But hey, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. They also have a $5 Bailey's Hot Chocolate available. This is so beautiful, I was ready to cry. Coquitlam Grill delivers, yet again.

Large portions and great tasting food, even post Covid. A big menu, with something to please everyone. Friendly staff. What a find!

Food is below average. Service is ok. There is no ambiance there. I have only gone there once. And that's enough for me. Plus the price was a little excessive.

Service was great and friendly. We ordered the full rack of ribs with salads. It was plenty obvious the ribs were baked and not grilled but they were pretty good. Once you move pass that, they were good.

Yummy Ribs!! Unexpected visit to Coquitlam Grill and we are glad we came. I work in Coquitlam, not really the greatest options for dinning. I had Coquitlam grill booked marked because several of my yelpy friends had recommended this place. After finishing a long day at work, last thing I wanted to do was cook, my husband mentioned he wanted ribs, hmm I remember reading about this place and having good ribs!!! So we went and Im glad we did. When you walk in, reminded me of a Dennys or some type of chain breakfast place. Large restaurant with a large menu. Large menus often overwhelm me and I hate it, but since we knew what we had wanted before coming made it a little easy. But this menu had everything!!!! My husband had the full rack of ribs with chicken came with a Caesar salad, garlic bread, and mash potatoes. I had half rack of ribs and pasta came with garlic bread. Very big portions. The ribs was fall off the bone tender, with a great bbq sauce, so yummy!!! I wish I would have gotten the full rack but I think it would have been too much. The pasta was also yummy very creamy Alfredo sauce. I tasted my husbands chicken strips with honey mustard sauce mashed and Caesar salad all tasted great. We were too full for sweets but next time the fruit pies sounds divine. Really good comfort food! The service was awesome, and fast! Also very well priced! We will be back!

I've been there Many times and the food is very good. However we have a waitres when we are seated in her section she refuses to wait on us. We have no idea what we have done . Ihave phoned to find out what the problem is and no reply from the manager. So we have elected to no longer to eat at this establishment. This is to bad as the food is wonderful. 7

I am thoroughly impressed by Coquitlam grill. The service and food are wonderful. After a few arm twisting by friends I finally got to experience their Friday night special-Ribs and Spaghetti. And pro tip-you can ask them to upgrade you to lasagna for no charge. It was terrific and very good value for the money. The ribs fall off the bone with ease. Definitely one of the more tasty ribs in the entire GVRD. And the service was wonderful. Despite coming half hour before close the staff still served my friends and I and even let us stay a bit to finish our food past closing. I will definitely be back.

You know that feeling when you walk into your grandparents home? It's familiar, it's warm and you know there's something good cooking in the kitchen? Well, that's the Coquitlam Grill. The food, from breakfast to dinner, is delish! A few faves include the baked lasagna, truckers breakfast, and beef dip. They also have your G-Pa's faves such as liver and onions, sirloin steak and patty melts. The portions are huge just like your G-Ma's trying to fatten you up. The staff are always super friendly but in a genuine, we're glad you're here kind of way. And man, are there a lot of them ready to please! This place is often busy, but is run like a well-oiled machine. There is nothing bad to say about this place except the decor may be dated like your G-Ma's chesterfield but it's clean and cozy and always makes you feel welcome. You'll never leave the Coquitlam Grill hungry! Ten out of ten... the baked lasagna is heaven! (seriously, get the lasagna)

This is a great diner conveniently located at the bottom of the coquitlam crunch. Came here with some friend's post-workout for dinner. We got a table right away and server was attentive. They have all day breakfast menu items. We ordered the calamari and onion rings to start which was fresh and crunchy. I ended up ordering a salmon eggs Benedict and their cubes hash browns and it was delicious! Serving portions are large and filled me up! The decor and ambiance of the establishment is quite dated but clean and their quality of diner food makes up for it. I would come back and try other things on their menu!

This place is a typical diner. Don't expect much on the food quality side but it's pretty good otherwise. The one thing that I don't understand, is why do some greasy spoons not understand that when you cook eggs and they are brown when they're done... THEY ARE BURNED!!! I've eaten in many places and the eggs come out completely yellow and fluffy, not hard and brown. Your omelettes are always burnt and your fried eggs are always burnt. Otherwise it's fine.
