x-site grill & bistro

x-site is a great place for huge and yummy portions at a great price. the lunchspecialsmenu has got variety and fills you up. came the last time with some friends after a morning hike and we somehow managed to finish our plates. it's a ton of carbs but so tasty.

our server was pleasant and friendly but scattered and everywhere. she ran off in the middle of taking our orders to grab a drink list for us and to take a plate to another table. the place is clean and got a pub kind of feel with all the tvs. for about $15 we got bevvies and a good meal.

this place is a great place to hit up for a frugal bite. with dailyspecialsbeing that cheap, one would expect the food to match relative to its price. x site however, delivers a mean meal for their price point. 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

lunchspecialsare easily among the best value in town. you do have to buy a drink, but that chicken souvlaki is really substantial. the food isn't anything special and it is basically a dive bar, but you get what you pay for.

good food, great prices.. i've been working evenings for a couple of months on a project in burnaby, i've been going to x-site grill in burnaby for my "lunch break" often, sometimes there's no room so i'm forced to go elsewhere due to time constraints , i usually order thespecialsand have a beer, food is good and prices are good. service is awesome, i only get 1 hour for my break and i have to travel from the job site to x-site grill, then order and eat and relax for a few minutes after, before going back to the job site for another 5 hours. so i get my order taken quickly and and the food arrives in good time. servers are great.

great value. been here a few times and had the chicken souvlaki (go at lunch because for $5 the cost to quality value is outstanding), a burger once (it was fine, but they're always served with salad), and the pesto chicken menu item.

most nights of the week (except fridays and saturdays i believe) they have dinner specials, and i think that they have drinkspecialsevery night. monday night is steak night - which i hear is good. tuesday is burger night.

i really like the chicken souvlaki. so much variety in the different sides, and so much food. the portions are huge.

i really didn't like the pesto chicken. a thin, sad piece of chicken with pesto and cheese on top. i didn't find the pesto tasty.

cheap eats. this is one of my favourite little restaurants and one of the best values in the city. almost every entree is 10$ and under, and you get a lot of food. not only that, but the burgers are yummy and juicy. the drinkspecialsare also nice. most entrees come with little potato pieces, rather than fries, which is a bit healthier, but also a bit more bland. there is also a sizable salad with each entree, which can fill you up instead of the potatoes.

the place can be a bit busy at times (waiting 10-20 minutes), but the atmosphere is lively and cheerful. there are 2-3 tvs there to watch the game while eating, and the waitstaff is quite friendly every time we go. in the dozen or so times i've been there, the experience and food have always been good.

good service. food portions are great that is also affordable. my boyfriend and i enjoyed the dailyspecialsthey have.

summer is the season of (among other things) superhero movies. sb is a huge fan of superhero movies, so we started off the summer with iron man 3, with our next selection being man of steel. we were planning to watch it at our cheap neighbourhood movie theatre, with a quick, cheap lunch beforehand. and what could be cheaper than $4.95 lunch specials? x-site grill and bistro, on the eastern end of hastings street, epitomizes cheap food for me. $5.95 dinner specials, and $4.95 lunchspecials(with the purchase of a beverage). i generally like nothing more than cold water to accompany my meals, but i was curious about what kind of food they could be serving for less-than-mcdonald’s-prices, so i indulged in an iced tea to be able to order one of their lunch specials. because we were both quite hungry, we decided to order a  calamari ($6.95)  to share. as far as calamari goes, this was decent, but not exceptional. the tzatziki sauce was oddly thick, and lacked any real tang–it simply tasted

decent cheap eats. with lunchspecialsfor under $5 this place is quite good value. the chicken souvlaki meal is huge and the flavours although not spectacular are quite good. we have had worse at many pricier greek restaurants. it can get packed especially with tables of students enjoying cheap meals along with cheap cocktails. my only complaint is turn the lights up, it's too gloomy in there especially on our many overcast days. even reading the full menu is a challenge if you are seated in the back of the place away from the windows.

rediculously cheap good quality food. so the atmosphere is a little dodgy? so what if the staff is a little daft? $5.95 full steak dinner on mondays everyday lunch special 4.95 between 11am to 4pm. liquorspecialseveryday; so cheap they're basically giving it away. try this place.
