x-site grill & bistro

one word = wicked best pr.... one word = wicked

bestpricein town... can't go wrong hitting up this joint.. the platters are huge well worth the money

the chicken souvlaki platter is amazing

simple food done right-ish. listen: if you want a gourmet meal, pear tree is down the street. go there and stop complaining.

now, if you want a simple meal that's prepared reliably for a very good price, then visit this place.

i usually get something with chicken, and it is always moist and well seasoned. whatever veggies accompany it are fresh and prepared well. boiled potatoes? not particularly exciting, but i appreciate the healthy option and have personally eaten enough mediocre fries in my life to the effect of never ordering them unless i'm at a place known for exceptional fries.

the marinated steaks are pretty good, too. they are ten dollars. therefore, do not expect a thirty dollar steak and then complain about it. i think the meat is plenty tender for thepricepoint and cut, and it is the best steak for thepricei've ever had. i ordered it very reluctantly the first time, because most ll give you more potatoes or rice or whatever.

this place is a great place to hit up for a frugal bite. with daily specials being that cheap, one would expect the food to match relative to its price. x site however, delivers a mean meal for theirpricepoint. the interior resembles a bar, but it has a cozy lounge feeling to it. overall, i would drop by the place for a quick cheap bite or drink, but nothing fancy

when prices are cheap, does food taste more appealing to you? well sometimes i think a lowpriceconvinces me to endure suffering that you might not otherwise.when i think of x-site grill in burnaby heights, i remember a freezing restaurant with a heating system that had very clearly been broken during an unfortunate, rare, icy cold spell. that evening, mike and i had made a date with some good friends.the server was friendly but oddly enough, pretended there nothing peculiar about what was going on all around us, customers bundled in their scarves and coats, wearing gloves while lifting forks to their mouths. i watched in fascination, as an icy puff of air formed as i breathed out.why didn't we leave? maybe it was laziness. but more likely, it was the burgers. or the no-frills basement prices. actually, maybe a bit of both.

omg is this place still open? this popped up on my feed.... loved this place back in the day. i used to go for their chicken soulvaki. for a poor student theirpriceand servings were ridiculous. i don't think they still have the special anymore as it was $6 for one stick but it came with rice, potatoes, cesar salar and pita bread. they didn't give me attitude if i didn't order drinks either. thank you for the memories! this is a completely useless review as i'm sure thepriceisn't the same nor is the portion size (last been here 7 years ago...)

very rude. the dinner andpricewas good. the service was ok but the overall experience was terrible. they actually rushed us out because a large group came in and was seated beside us. because there were so many people in the group, some of them only had chairs n no table. the waitress handed them menus and kept saying to the group, "as soon as these people leave (which was my friend and i), we will move that table over. i heard the waitress say that 3 times and even pointed at us which made us feel so uncomfortable and unwelcomed. we had just finished eating our meals when this occurred. then another lady came over to us and said, "if ur finished, we need your table for another group". we hadn't even finished our drinks. talk about a dine and dash experience, from the time we walked in to the time we were rushed out was not even an hour... very rude!

quesadillas were fine, ropa vieja was very good.priceand quality are aces in this little restaurant

great price. i love this place for thepriceand usually only go when chicken souvlaki is available.

pros - great value, you get a lot of food.

cons - lack of options for sides. the water drenched potatoes aren't very appealing. it's a crapshoot on whether you'll get a "nice" server.

the last time i went the server was wonderful. it made me rethink not liking the place because of the crappy attitude i've received in the past.

this is one of my favorite inexpensive dinner place. portions are biiig and delicious. i usually get cajun chicken burger. however, there is one inconsistency that grabs my attention. i usually order side rice with my burger. once they charged me $1, next time 2$, another time 2.5$. they should set a certainpricefor certain items. also, some servers are not very friendly. overall, i'd rate this place 4 out of 5.

well worth the trip. i've heard about this little place on hastings where the food is not only great, but very cheap also. i've been here twice now and so far it's been great. the food that you get isn't the best you could possibly get, but for thepriceyou pay, i'm not sure if you could get that anywhere else. i came on a monday for lunch and ordered a chicken slovaki which was only $4.95. a steal isn't it!? it came with rice, chicken, a salad, some potatoes and bread. it was actually quite a lot of food which i didn't end up finishing. then on another day, i came on a saturday night and got a burger. it was more expensive than the slovaki, but it was still cheap.

the service is quite friendly, and the environment: dark but welcoming and they also have big screens playing live sports. i will be back.

unreal. you get a full sit-down meal, decent atmosphere and ok service for thepriceof the food court of mcdonalds!!! one of the best deals i've come across in town.
