el furniture warehouse

satisfying and cheap burger joint in the beautiful whistler village. the service was great, and the food was quick and delicious. that being said, they served the appetizer the same time as my entree, which is not great in my book. also, the restaurant didn't really have any original or unique qualities in design, and simply felt like a sports bar i could find in my own hometown.

looking for a cheap bite after your ski/snow day on whistler blackcomb, go to el furniture warehouse. too bad i am a vegetarian because their menu is filled with yummy junk food! i had a beetroot salad with goat cheese. a side of calamari, and a chow men!! their drinks are awesome but overpriced. would recommend!

first time visiting this place. service was friendly and food was okay. however the food took forever to come. we ordered at 2:30 and food didn't arrive until just after 3:20. almost an hour wait! the drinks were at least okay.

prices were spectacular (all food items $4.95), food was great, and service was good. only thing i can suggest is to ask for ice in your water so you don't get warm tap water. we will be making this a regular spot when we come to whistler.

had a bizarre evening here, had to wait 30 minutes to get in which was crazy as half of the patio tables were empty as were most of the inside tables. once we were seated though we had very attentive service and had a great meal and drinks. throughout our meal many tables around us sat empty despite their being a long line outside. this restaurant definitely needs better management as many people just left or were quite angry when they were finally seated and saw how many open tables there was.

best restaurant in whistler hands down. great food and it's cheap $4.95 for everything. wings, pasta, burgers the best. love whistler and love the warehouse.

you get what you pay for.
pure value + volume type of place... can't totally complain when everything is $5. food is what you'd expect at that price, although rather decent and better than fast food. quantity over quality. i reckon they make their money just on the booze. if a funky young (sometimes rowdy) backpacker-ish hangout serving dirt cheap pub grub is your thing then this is it...
be warned: expect line-ups and service is spotty.
it can get crazy and busy. whistler-style.

food is cheap but it's absolute garbage. their tacos tasted like they weren't even seasoned. you think you're getting a great deal but end up with a tiny portion of something that tastes like damp sawdust and pay 7 bucks for a beer from a dirty draft line. great place to meet greasy ski bums though!

this is a place for young people. if you are not a fan of loud music and hip hop, stay away. the service is shaky though. i finished eating and had empty plates on my table for over 10 min. the music was a bit loud to hold a conversation with my older companions. however if i just wanted to drink and have some good music on the background, this would be it..

this place is kind of strange, it was recommended so we thought we would give it a go.
the greeting wasn't pleasant and the service never got better from there.
wed were sat in a corner, rather dingy and the table was tiny, we ordered a margarita and a mojito. both were honestly the worst cocktails i've ever had, watery, no flavour, wrong seasonings for the rim and the mojito had no sugar whatsoever. they also took a very long time to arrive even though they were not that busy, it was a thursday night.
one good thing is the value for money on food,  a decent menu.
we ordered the beet and goat cheese salad and the poutine. the pouting was under seasoned completely (if at all) and they had no malt vinegar, i found this strange. the salad had a strange taste i couldn't put my finger on and was way overdressed.
not impressed. the service was so bad, no one in there had a smile.

i came up here for a annual dog show. i couldn't help but notice the huge line up. i just had to try it out.
service is very fast pace and as friendly as possible. makes sense since its so crazy busy here. but the wow factor was the prices.

wow it's dirt cheap here, dirt cheap. as for the food it's decent. if your looking for value and hot food, pub style, it's here. but if your looking for a "dining experience" this ain't the place. i personally was satisfied. stomach full, off to a day of activities.

this place is awesome !!!! staff are friendly food and drinks awesome prices best in whistler...............................................

what a great experience! my sister and i drove up to whistler from vancouver for the day and i had never been to any of the warehouse restaurants before. its such a great idea for people on a budget but to also know that you can get really good food. we shared the nachos for one, which turned out to be so delicious. that could also be because i didn't have high expectations of what they would be like when you look at the price. my sister had the smokehouse burger which by her reaction alone i knew was good, and i had the spaghetti with the pan bread and it was also delicious! service was good, but the food was better!

my party of 5 (+ 1 dog) decided to come to this restaurant since it's a popular restaurant for its cheap eats.

when we got here, there was a large lineup but it was expected. we quickly got into line and asked for a patio table to accommodate our dog. the hostess holding a clipboard told us that it would be a 15-20 minute wait to which we agreed. the line was partially blocking the entrance so the people in line were told to move to the side, which was reasonable. after a while, one of my friends went in to check with the hostess the status of our position in line. the hostess gave her attitude and told her that she will come to her and not the other way around. the hostess later came to check on the line and she asked for us for our party size again since she didn't recognize us. we told her we were next in line for a table and she told us that we needed to be in line in order to be served. we explained that she moved the line to the side in the first place. she shrugged and said its not up to her to remember who is next in line and that it's the restaurant patrons' job to know. according to her, it's first come first serve. what's the point of holding a clipboard if you're not going to use it to write down names for a wait list?

we had to leash our dog closer to the outside fence despite being seated at a patio table. as a result, we wanted to move to another table closer to the dog since we were afraid that the dog was going to bother other guests by whining. the waitress told us no and gave no reason; by the way, that same table stayed empty for the entire time we were there.

at the end, we were auto-charged a gratuity for a group of 6. we only had a group of 5. when asked about it, the waitress told us that the restaurant features a $5 menu so they need to make a profit somehow.

i tried to ask the hostess about the gratuity conditions but she gave me attitude and said to find my waitress and then left without helping refer me to someone who could help.

the manager was a little more helpful. she listened to our concerns and helped us get our gratuity money back. however, she did make a comment that made our group slightly offended. she had said that in canada it is customary to tip and that if we were canadian then we would know.

our group understands a tip is due when the service is satisfactory. also, we're all canadian as well...

the food was decent for its pricing but the customer service experience was horrible. we probably won't ever come to this restaurant again. it's unfortunate because its sister locations are quite good.

we love this place! we had to que for like 30 mins just to get in! we found out about "el furniture warehouse" by word of mouth - the locals all sort of hide it from you but want to tell you about it at the same time. it's down the bottom of whistler village and it's a pumping little bar - all the staff look like they literally walked out of general pants co. - the food tastes great and is large portion size - and everything on the entire menu is $4.95!!!!! all entree's, mains, salads, mexican, burgers, deserts. all $5. in whistler - this is a must.
