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 theburgerwith the works and upgraded to a side of yam fries...it was still only $6.95. theburgerwas 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 veggieburgerwhich 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!

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 worksburgerwas 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 chickenburgerwas 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.

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 dipburgerand claimed it to be the best meal in whistler! staff were all lovely and attentive.

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 chickenburgerhad 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

satisfying and cheapburgerjoint 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.

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 smokehouseburgerwhich 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!

ok this is quite contradicting, the place, is just okay, felt like more of a bar type of settings, but at the same time the food is cheap for a location like whistler :dd, $5 menu bring it on, i can even eat 3 of them and for $15 i will be full and be a happy man :d 

i ordered aburgerand a pasta, and both tasted decent, just like my home cooking, and maybe i can do a little better if given the ingredients and time, but in terms of taste... it's okay, slightly more towards the 2.5 i'll say, but for the price that i'm paying at whistler then it's definitely a 3. i would say it's my go to place if i'm not cooking in whistler at all. so yea, this place i would recommend for big eaters like me and spending on a tight budget in whistler. :)

had to wait a few minutes to be seated, but after that we were treated to a great lunch at a fantastic price! great service, hardly finished my first drink before our server was asking if i'd like another. had the works burger. wasn't the bestburgeri've ever had, but i've spent far more on far worse.burgerand fries for $4.95? i'll definitely be back for more!

mmmhmm. just like back home on granville st. fairly decent food at an unbeatable price. sat at the bar and was served by a lovely old chap lol. the worksburgerwas good, and the pulled chicken sandwich was good too.

good value, mediocre food. my biggest problem with my experience was actually the large groups of people waiting for tables, they were literally standing over my table, watching me eat and making it impossible to have a conversation. i have never encountered so many rude customers all in one place! as soon as that massive group was seated yet another woman stood there and pretty much watched me eat my food. is it that it's tourists that are so beyond rude?? she was almost leaning on me she was so close to me. can they not see someone is trying to eat their food or do they really care so little about the other people around them?

getting past that, my server was very nice and checked on us even though she was very very busy. i made sure she got a nice tip as its not her fault the food was not very good.

i had theburgerthat many reviewers said was good, every element about the burger, the bun, the bacon, and the sauce was really great. but theburgerpatty was just awful, like it was a frozen safeway patty or something. the nachos would have been great had they had more then 2 tablespoons of cheese (3/4 of the chips were totally bare). and my boyfriend said his spicy chicken quesadilla was really good.

so i believe it's a matter of knowing what to order, i think there is some potential but i was really hoping this place would be better. also the $5 menu attracts a lot of people you can tell are only there for the price. for the great deal it's worth a try. oh and the drink menu was amazing

5/5 saving the best for last. warehouses usually mean that the place has really cheap food. and in this case, everything was $5. what. a. steal. el furniture warehouse had really good portions. my favorite has got to be the worksburgerand fries. absolutely fantastic. great fries. my mom got the asian noodle salad which tasted really fresh and the presentation was fantastic. their yam fries are great! the potato skins are mediocre, probably wouldn't order that again. the chicken wrap was pretty tasty. the chicken quesadillas were better. the banana split is mediocre. almost everything on the menu is fantastic. you honestly can't go wrong with $5 a dish. went there twice, loved it twice. the only downside is that it gets pretty darn busy so you won't get your food very quickly. their wifi is also kind of iffy on the left side. they also have seasonal dishes, which i really appreciate the effort. click here for the worksburgerand all it's glory. definitely going back. highly recommend

food is cheap but next time i think i'll go elsewhere. the poutine was good but the chicken waffle sandwich, the breakup sandwich and the chicken soft tacos were pretty boring. theburgerwas pretty good. loud dance mix kind of music was on, which isn't my favorite but maybe others don't mind that.

how do they do it, but pass on the ice cream sandwich. amazing you can offer a pretty goodburgerand fries for $4.95. such was the works burger. the quinoa and green apple slices salad was ok, though the quinoa was heavy on the sauce that was added to it. the soft tacos with chicken was a little dry, but 4 soft tacos with a couple of dips was pretty good value. the add-on guacamole dip was another $2.25, i think and that's where el furniture makes some of their money. chicken wings at $.25 was cheap with a min order of 5 pc. multiple flavour offerings for the wings was a nice offering and they were done fairly well, but then wings are hard to mess up. i did notice elsewhere was offering wings at $.20 each. lastly, take a pass, or i should say forget about the ice cream sandwich, don't even think about it. for $4.95 there were two sandwiches. apart from the watery chocolate drizzle, the sandwich was actually two peak freans digestive cookies, the type with the milk chocolate coating, sandwiching the vanilla ice cream. what a let down and was the most memorable part of the whole meal, a negative memory. a digestive cookie for an ice cream sandwich............. i mean come on! the place was busy for lunch and was busy for dinner when we passed by later where price is the main draw. it's worth a try. might not end up as cheap as you might be led to think especially after drinks. while not in a rush, we'd probably go back, but not for the ice cream sandwich!

el furniture?. wow ..$4.95 for anything on the menu. must be a catch. anyways, ordered 2 appies - chicken wings and onion rings. chicken wings were good but we got half to start and the second half 20 minutes into our meal. the onion rings were soggy and didn't arrive until we were almost done our meal.
we had the pulled chicken sandwich, the chicken cesear wrap, spaghetti, and the works burger. our daughter didn't like her chicken sandwich - said it tasted funny. the wrap looked good and tasted great. the spaghetti - meh. i can make better out of a bottle at home. theburgerwas good and my son really enjoyed it.
service was a little spotty but they were busy and it looked like it they were short a server or two.
price wise - you can't beat it but the food quality and service needs to pick it up.
