The Best Of The Worst
See All Lists
1. Sears Canada
Oh Sears. First I hated you when I was a child and you weren't Eatons (where my Daddy worked).
Now I hate you because you are Sears. And you aren't even the Sears I hated when I was a child. You've changed. You've farmed out your various…More »
2. Gassy Jack
Gastown was named after him but I always wonder why tourists (and locals) are so entranced.
He wasn't a very nice guy - a drunk, a 'story-teller' and when his first wife died he married her 12-year old cousin. They had one child but because of son's…More »
3. Gargoyles Bar & Grill
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B1
(604) 733-1159
Categories:
Bars,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
On Sunday, my sweetie and I were wandering. We became disoriented and somehow found ourselves in a strange environment. We were approached by a human-like figure who was carrying this shiny disc-like object. She spoke to us and we somehow seemed…More »
4. Toronto Pearson International Airport
Signage is confusing and information on the departures gates can be out of date.
We arrived in Toronto on a cross-country adventure having checked in in Vancouver en-route to St. John's. The information given to us in Vancouver included the check-in…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Fraserview, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
A 3 dressed up as a 9...
Went here quite a few times to check out the menu and the selections of bubble and milky teas. Never could figure out what was up with the place until it occurred to me: The service is terrible. Food is only half-decent,…More »

(604) 324-1400
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Fraserview, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
I love food. I love food. I love the occassional bit of pub grub. I love food.
I repeat myself and HEY! Did I mention? I repeat myself.
BUT I DON"T LIKE HAVING TO CONSTANTLY REPEAT MYSELF BECAUSE THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD AND BEING PIPED AT ME THRU…More »
7. Anny's Dairy Bar
The first time we went to this place we were informed there were no washrooms and needing to visit the facilities I decided I would go somewhere else - where they were able to accommodate my needs.
We decided to give them a second chance - well…More »

9. Nishiki Sushi Bar
We have visited here a few times over the years. I had forgotten about the bad service we received here a few years ago which made us stop going there for a while.
Our most recent visit reminded us of the level of bad customer service which this place…More »

10. Controversial Kitchen - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X9
(604) 254-6101
Category:
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Controversy is: why does it take so long to prepare a roast beef sandwich?
Controversy is: why are the tables so attrociously organised?
Controversy is: why are the smokers allowed to puff away outside next to the windows that are open!?!?!

Categories:
Vegetarian,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
Funny story.... when our friends suggested we meet them there for brunch I thought she said "Round Owl". End of funny story.
We met them there for brunch and I was less than impressed with the attitude of the wait staff. But our friends eat here on…More »
12. Granville Room
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L3
(604) 633-0056
Categories:
Lounges,
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Music: Too loud. Reminded me of the type of place I used to hang out in when I was underage. That was probably the last time I heard DuranDuran and Tears for Fears played as well. Timewarp!
Service was average. She didn't blink when we presented…More »
13. Troll's
West Vancouver, BC V7W
(604) 921-7755
Category:
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: Horseshoe Bay
So this is how it works....daughter and I are on a mission. We love fish & chips. And we're scouring the Lower Mainland to find THE BEST. We will not rest until this is done. Well we might have to rest occassionally. And let our pants out from…More »
14. Wal-Mart
This store stinks. It so full of scents from products and the packaging and the newness of the store that I had to leave as it was giving me a headache.
"A rose by any other name still smells the same"
Have I mentioned that Wal-Mart stinks?
15. Wild Ginger - CLOSED
We'd been there before so when we ended up there for a late meal the other night, I was confident that I'd have a good experience.
I expected too much.
Bathrooms were filthy; both the Mens and the Womens
Sweet & Sour Pork. Should be called little bits…More »
16. Plates Eatery & Catering Company Ltd
Service was average. Food was substandard.
Disappointing.
17. Columbus Pizza
***2 and a half stars***
Bit of a hit and miss with this local eatery.
We've stopped by a couple of times and had some ok experiences and one not-so-ok experience.
First let me preface this by saying it is a diner/dive/bar type atmosphere. Think of the…More »
18. Billy's Family Restaurant
Typical greasy spoon cafe with typical roadside dinner fare.
This location used to also service the bus station. In fact the locals still refer to it as "The Station"
We frequent here when visiting Princeton, just to mix things up a bit. There isn't…More »
19. The Prophouse Cafe
Vancouver, BC V5L 2H2
(604) 733-5665
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Not a huge fan of having to wait forever to be served. It's one thing if the place is super busy, but when the counterstaff is too busy chatting and goofing around to even pretend to notice you - I'm not sure why I stayed really.
Finally did get…More »
20. Walmart Supercentre
Vancouver, BC V5M
(604) 435-6905
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
A rose is a rose is a rose.
And a Wal-Mart is a Wal-Mart, is a Wal-Mart.
Having never been in a Wal-Mart before I was lucky enough to visit not one, but two Wal-Marts over my Xmas Holidays. And by 'lucky' I mean....well, don't know what I mean but…More »
21. Tim Hortons
Stopped in for a midnight meal.
Service was .... well they were distracted and goofing off. The chicken salad sandwich was ok. Seems a little more effort could have been made in cutting up the chicken into smaller pieces. It was in giant chunks.…More »

Fish & Chips...
Burger & Chips
This small out of the way place was cheap and fast.
But nothing special.
Bring cash. Or expect to walk a block or two to get some. Parking was awkward.
23. Rogers Wireless
Vancouver, BC V7Y 1K8
(604) 801-5292
Category:
Mobile Phones
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Seriously poor service (cell phone and internet) and terrible customer service as well - at least they are consistent.
Moved a few months ago and changed the billing address. There didn't seem to be a problem with the request, except they continued…More »
24. Parsley Sage & Thyme Health Store
Parked in front of this store today in a public space. Signage from the municipality said 30 minute parking. No noted restrictions.
Went a few doors down to another business further down the block. When I returned to the car I was thinking to…More »
25. Diamond Parking
Extremely questionable business practices.
Diamond Parking are the fine folks that 'patrol' the parking lots at many lower mainland Safeway stores.
They routinely ticket Safeway patrons who they claim have walked off the lot. And when I say ticket, I…More »

Categories:
Pubs,

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Proof positive that I DON"T MAKE GOOD CHOICES WHEN I AM HUNGRY!!!
Our original destination was a little full and silly me, I didn't feel like waiting... lesson learned. Patience is a virtue.
Opted for the BBQ parrot wings and Giant Cheesy Fries.…More »

Vancouver, BC V5V 3R2
(604) 879-2020
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
We've wanted to try this place for quite some time.
Walked in the door and was overwhelmed by the scent. Large plumes of smoke rose from a giant stalk of incense. It looked like Mt St Helens was erupting on the counter; smoke and ash made the air…More »

Vancouver, BC V5K 1Z3
(604) 253-1531
Category:
Banks & Credit Unions
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
Nothing wrong with branch service, always friendly and accommodating. However, a few years ago HSBC changed how they interact with small and medium sized businesses. These clients were switched to a service plan called "Business Direct" which is…More »

North Vancouver, BC V7M 3H6
(604) 990-6888
Categories:
Sporting Goods,
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
Owner is rude and thinks he owns the parking on the block.
Incredible sense of entitlement and lacking in genuine manners. It is beyond me why anyone would act in this fashion while driving a company vehicle. What poor advertising. It is highly…More »
32. Euro Bakery Cafe
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X9
(604) 255-3220
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Bagels
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Meh
Almost cold mocha.
Almost cold tuna melt. I wouldn't have thought it possible to not be able to produce a decent tuna melt. Minuscule-slice of cheese melted over a mound of (still) cold tuna. Bagel barely even warm.
