Habitat Pub - Burnaby

I know this is a pub and the general expectation would be that is is pub food but the food here is really good. so good, that my friends from my work office down the street insist on coming here even though they dont drink. thats a testament to how good the food is. sometimes gets a bit weird cause the students like to get a bit rowdy... but its all part of the charm IMHO. has tons of seats too: never had to wait to get in. the patio is sloped a fair bit which kinda sucks but if you sit inside with some friends, grab a few drinks and some great food... you will not be disappointed.

I've been a weekly patron of the Habitat for over a year. After a long-lasting, friendly, personable and attentive bartender left over the Winter Break, I thought the time for my weekly beer would be a lot worse off. I was wrong. The current serving staff have been nothing short of awesome. I can see the point of some people complaining about the speed of service, but personally I've never had an issue with service here, either at the bar or at a table. Beers come to the table quickly and are cold and sometimes put into a chilled glass.

Best fries ever! It's been closed for a while (pandemic) but I usually work upstairs, and I've been missing it! Can't wait to go back and get delicious hot lunch again.

Came here for lunch and ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Fair portion size, but wish it came with a bit more pulled pork for the $15 price tag. The BBQ sauce wasn't excessive, just the right amount so it wasn't spilling out of the bun. Decent and plentiful fries (could also substitute for a salad). The crispy onions maintained their crisp. Came with a group and did have to wait a while for the food, perhaps a lack of kitchen staff as there were other groups also dining in. Still, a good dining option on campus!

Great staff! Food is definitely above average. Typical Pub fare.
