My friend and I were waiting outside the sports bar for 30 minutes (10:30 am) to get in for the final soccer game on 29th May, and after the door opened, we came inside to check if the tables have the best TV/screen view. We waited for another 30 minutes, so my other three friends can come and join us. Our passionate server Sidney* came and asked if we need any drinks to start? But I was waiting for my beloved friends to come and make sure this table is good for them, and I just said just a glass of water with lemon, please. It is embarrassing if someone holds a table of 6 and orders nothing for 30 minutes but then when my friends arrived and we order a whole bunch of beer mugs and delicious food. (we were the first one to come and the last to leave) Sidney was a friendly and preeminent server and frequently asked if we need anything. Her serving service was professionally excellent and we all rejoiced with her service and the sports bar ambience. I appreciate her patience and kindness, which is very rare to see these days in the hospitality industry as a server. Thank you. :)

First time trying the Brewhouse. It was good. Service was amazing, the ladies there are personable, professional and very friendly. Even the manager was walking around talking to and helping guests, which is always nice to see. Food was pretty good. I had a ceasar wrap with a poutine. The poutine, that gravy is the BEST I've ever had. The wrap had a bit too much pepper in the seasoning, I should have asked for no pepper in mine, I don't eat out much so always forget alot of people cook with table pepper, so my fault. They were on a limited menu, I'm assuming due to covid and lack of full staff just opening back up. But they had no problem making the wrap I asked for since it wasn't on the limited menu provided. Overall, it was a good experience. I will definitely come back and try another menu item.

Worst service I have received ever at a restaurant!!! I came here for a birthday celebration with my wife and my elderly mother. We sat down at a clean table near the bar. We were sitting for at least 10 minutes with waitresses walking by and no one acknowledging that we were there. another two people came and sat at a table next to us that was dirty, and the waitress came by their table and cleared it off and proceeded to give them menus. I finally asked her as she was walking by if we could get some service, finally about another 5 minutes went by before someone came to our table with menus, at this time I told our waitress that it was my birthday and we would like to start with my free nachos they had offered me in an email. The waitress took the information from the app on my phone to get my nachos started. I then had to ask them if they had the Dine out Vancouver menus as the festival was on and I knew they were participating in this. We got the menus and ordered our food. Awhile later my wife got her first course of her Dine out Vancouver meal, then when she was done they brought out her main course (still no nachos at our table) I asked our waitress about the nachos and she went over to their computer and I saw her typing away, which leads me to believe that was the first time our order for nachos was entered. We finally got the nachos after my wife's main course was almost finished. We ate those for awhile, and then they brought out the dessert for the final course for my wife, we then finally asked where my mothers food was, our waitress did not know. At this time we said just to cancel her order and bring us the bill. I was pretty upset by now. the bill arrived and I quickly paid with my credit card without really looking at the bill. The waitress walked away and I glanced at my bill, and noticed they charged me for the nachos that were supposed to be free on my birthday, and we did not receive the discount for our drinks that were offered on special. I asked the waitress to send the manager by (who I had seen him walking around just 10 minutes earlier) The waitress came by with a girl that she claimed she was the manager. I told her the situation, she walked away with my bill and came back and offered to give me a gift certificate for nachos on another visit. I said that wasn't acceptable as after this visit I do not plan on coming back here. asked to see the manager that I had seen walking around earlier, she said he was busy. I finally asked for a full refund, and she said she would have to speak to the other manager. She came back and said they would refund it to my card but it would take 6 to 9 business days. I then left after the "manager" took my copy of my credit card receipt as she said they needed it to process the refund. Well today is 14 days (10 business days) since I have been there and still no refund. Not only am I writing this review, I will be sending an email to the head of the corporation about this incident. From reading other reviews on here, it looks like this is an ongoing issue at this location. I truly wish there was a ZERO star option or negative stars, because this service does not even warrant 1 star.

Huge list of poorly thought out features: Poor layout: The table we sat at had a TV right beside my head... I can only imagine patrons sitting here and having others stare in their direction to watch the game - truly poor tv placement Cutlery is poor quality: Chunky handles on forks and knives... I know this is nitpicking but seriously uncomfortable cutlery to use. Just another way I feel that not much thought went into this place. Drinks unavailable or watered down: No Moscow mules which I know this place has had before. Also asked for light ice in a Ceasar and received it still nearly half full of ice (I get people's definition of "light" may differ... Maybe I should ask for NO ice) Also mixed drinks taste watered down or like they don't actually have the advertised alcohol content in them. Food poor quality/taste: (ordered following) Perry Perry wings - vinegary, no other flavor. Tasted like they were dipped in sauce not marinated Honey garlic - same as above Deep fried pickles - actually pretty decent, slightly squishy but overall a good taste to them. Just overpriced for an appetizer Perogi bites - just absolutely blah for taste. The only thing that added flavor was the sour cream. So I had bread and potato dipped in sour cream... Uninformed staff - trying not to knock the waitress, she tried her best for a new hire. However couldn't inform us of the list of wings flavors, as well as beers on tap Boring atmosphere: Music was a good volume, not too loud not too quiet, way too many tvs in the place and weird sports "art" all over the place. Like the designer was trying too hard to make the place into a huge mancave with sports memorabilia everywhere and booze related stuff hanging on the walls.... Just too much of everything Flags in food: Makes the food being served look and feel like I just ordered at IHOP Food pricing: Decent on specials but NOT on full price appetizers Employee dress code: Very unappealing dress code required by employees... Enough said Poor menu layout, very confusing: Items on menu have write ups that try to sound funny... Just confusing in the end. Also way too many items on the menu, and not enough pictures of the food - if any at all. If you're coming here to watch the game, this is the place to do it, since it has tons of TV's To sum it up... I would sooner go to mucho burrito than come here again, and I am truly baffled by how this place has a 4* review. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if this place is out of business in the next couple years

My cousin flew in from Alberta for the weekend and we used to luv CBH in Edmonton so we decided to go to the Abbotsford location for a bite to eat. One server came over and took our drink order, about 5 mins later another girl came by and asked the same thing. I had ordered a CN ceaser already with the other gal so I was a bit confused and asked if the first girl placed my order. Now, when you’re signed up on the app you receive free nachos on your birthday(it was my cousins bday) so we ordered nachos, asked to add chicken to it and for them to be baked a little longer so the cheese was crispy that step was forgotten but minor. We also ordered boneless chicken bites and asked for teriyaki, those bites were slightly over cooked and horribly under sauced. Our server never came back to check up on us until we were done eating. I miss the Edmonton CBH vibes.

I moved from Edmonton to BC and CBH was always one of my favourite restaurants. There aren’t as many here and quite spaced out, but I was really craving it, so decided to place a pick up order and make the 45 min drive for lunch. I ordered the CBH donair and upgraded my side to a poutine. I went to pick up and with tip it came just over $30. When I got back to my car I checked and noticed the poutine missing, luckily I was still there so ran back in and staff made this for me quickly. I then drive home and opened my lunch and was shocked at the size / quality of the donair. It looks like someone cut it in half and ate half. I can’t believe they charge $23 for this “donair.” It was all slopped together and looked like maybe someone’s leftovers. Extremely disappointed in my decision to come to the Brewhouse in Abbotsford.
