el furniture warehouse

a definite cheap eat!. went here with my bro and his wife and hubby. we are boomers and this place really is a twenty something to thirty something hangout. the music is very loud. however, if you want a really inexpensive dinner, then this is the place for you. almost everything on the menu is $4.95. i had the burger with the works and upgraded to a side of yam fries...it was still only $6.95. the burger was like a kicked up fast food burger, but the yam fries were really really good. everyone enjoyed their food. my bro had four of their tacos which were only $.95 each and he loved them (after the fourth one). my sister-in-law had the veggie burger which she said was good. my husband had the beef dip which he said was excellent. we shared a cinnamon donut dessert. with drinks (one alcohol and the other pop and tea) and all of the above the bill before tip was $47.00. if the music hadn't been so loud, i would've said this was the perfect cheap eat!

good is meh. service is meh. but the price is phenomenal. word to the wise: if your hungry order 2 meals because everything on the menu is cheap for a reason, the portions are relatively small.

you need to know what to order. we went on 25 cent wings day and the wings were fantastic, more than worth the price. we also got a goat cheese and beet salad that was delicious. we saw another table order burgers and they looked good. the burgers look good from the outside, and the bread and toppings are great, but the patties were bizarre. they were spongy and vaguely meatloaf-like in texture, without a lot of beef flavour.

atmosphere was great for what we wanted: watching playoff hockey. definitely loud but sometimes loud is just great. :)

this place was packed and i can see why! te food was really good and at just &4.95 a plate, you can't go wrong. the atmosphere was friendly and music was good!

worst restaurant experience we have had in years! the service was terrible. we waited 45 minutes for our food and the server blamed it on the kitchen, even though everyone around us were getting their food, including tables seated 20 minutes after us. the food was mediocre and not even quite what we ordered once we finally got to eat it.

i admit a certain fascination with the all items $5.95 concept, being more than a bit of a cheap ass. we were seated inside which was preferable to out in the sun as far as we were concerned (i was getting burned a bit already wandering around being a pasty white guy!). i told our server that we intended to order too much food and we did so. everything arrived at once of course so we were suitably embarrassed about being pigs but we persevered! you get what you pay for is a familiar adage so we were prepared for mundanity but got some nice surprises. the crispy salt and pepper wings were as advertised. crispy and tasty! we added the blue cheese and veggies for a buck which was not a hardship wallet wise and hey!...you have to have blue cheese with your wings! definitely a very good ceasar salad, this one has a roasted corn salsa and avocado. if you want to add chicken or beef for a couple of bucks, you will have a whole meal here. we enjoyed this also. we also got some pleasure out of the warehouse crispy mac n cheese. sturdy cavatappi noodles and lots of cheese with some alfredo sauce and other crispy stuff, this was great! slightly sliding downhill, the calamari had completely missed the salting when it came out of the fryer step. if that had not happened, this would have been great also. it was served with tzatziki which saved the thing. the works burger was not great. definitely a frozen patty, we kind of got a 7-11 taste from the beef which could not be overcome by the bacon and cheese etc. we upgraded to onion rings for a couple of bucks which was a good move. they came with a maple-sriracha glaze. very good. avoid the burger, order the o rings. we enjoyed our time at efw despite the food up and downs. the music was thumping and we had the option of watching skateboard impressiveness on the tv monitors (and a few catastrophes). social distancing was maintained with intermediate tables reserved for inflatable dolls (i know, right?) our server was friendly but fairly busy also and a little distracted (all i wanted was water).

when we got seated and ordered, the server told us it’ll be a 35 minute wait for the food. the food finally came after almost an hour, after i asked another server to check on our order as i couldn’t find our server anywhere for a while. our server was very courteous and friendly when she was available though. the spicy chicken burger was so so. wish they told us beforehand that it takes them one hour to have food ready on a busy evening as we missed the vancouver festival of lights fireworks because of the one hour wait for food here.

works burger, soft tacos with guac and crispy chicken wings with hot sauce are definetly should be tried. also key-rona is one of the best beverages ever!

read so many reviews how great this place is. came in on a weekday at 1230. we put our name down and the hostess said it would be 10 mins. after 20 mins and so many others getting seated before us, i asked her and she said ooops i missed you guys. not apologetic at all. it wasn’t even busy to use that as an excuse. the food is okay...good value.

ambiance: went during low peak times and was able to get a seat quickly. this place had great music playing. there were huge televisions on each side of the room. there was a mix of booths, and high tables.


the great thing about this place is that everything on the menu is decently priced!

the burger: it was very flavourful, decent portion size.

the pasta: needed a bit more flavor.

cheese cake: great


you can't go wrong with a place with great prices. definitely will go back

el furni’s is a chilled bar with super cheap ($5.95) delicious meals! we came here quite a few times. although there were multiple times we tried to get in but it was too full. great variety on the food and drinks menu. our mate had the poutine and beef dip burger and claimed it to be the best meal in whistler! staff were all lovely and attentive.

el furniture warehouse is an oddly named bar located in the heart of the village stroll of whistler, a block north of the village gate blvd overpass. arriving in whistler around 3pm on a late and rainy july weekday, we decided to stop by here to grab some appies (a lot of the big restaurants are closed around this time of the day).

boasting a $5.95/item menu, there was no surprise that the lunch wait was long. i believe we waited between 20-35 minutes for a party of 8, plus a kiddo. however, if you have the time and a large group, some items can be worth your while. additionally, if you are a small group and don’t mind sitting at a bar table, you can be seated much faster.

i would recommend avoiding this establishment. it is very poorly managed and it is made clear to patrons that the staff are more important than the customers. they happily chat with their friends at the bar and ignore others. it seems like they resent tourists and wish they could just serve locals. they need to hire someone from the restaurant business who knows how to run a customer experience focused restaurant.

we werent looking to eat again at warehouse but caremba was not opening for half an hour. but kidlets were hungry. no one was really there so we went in. we ordered and waited and waited and waited. we asked the waitress couple of times where the food was. finally we got the first two plates. all plates 5.95. the periogies were ok. the chicken burger had bits of meat rather than a patty. the wings were good. the spagetti had a spoonful of brisket. the fish tacos were just ok. the kicker was the waiteress applied 18% gratuity counting the baby and kyd. wish we waited for caremba
