Cannibal Cafe

1818 Commercial Drive, Vancouver   cannibalcafe.ca

Food More mixed opinions within the group. One liked his two-pattied American Classic; didn't even care that there was no bacon. Another raved about the Montreal burger — a patty topped with smoked meat and sauerkraut. However, the Blue Cheese burger was just a bit overpowering with the blue cheese. Two of us thought the burgers were a tad on the dry side. We all liked the handcut fries, but what was the point of the side of salad?

Ambience Our mixed opinions carried over into a discussion of the interior. We liked the music posters on the walls but we couldn't quite tell what sort of a vibe they were going for — it's incomplete.

Service Decent, we suppose

Value Overall, prices were reasonable but we can't say there was really anything that set this place apart  —maybe except for the great onion rings.

Summing it up, eating at Cannibal Cafe is like driving a 2008 Honda Accord west along Bridgeport Road in Richmond to where it loops around into Russ Baker Way with Willem Dafoe in the passenger seat and "38 Years Old" playing on the radio. (Visited on May 23, 2013)
