What Verona Windler doesn't like about Save On Meats:
I got the fried chicken and waffles. The chichen was over cooked. It was a deep brown and super dry. The waffles were good. Got a milkshake and that was very average as well. The service was also kinda poor. Had no idea who our server was.The bussers really saved the day here. Maybe this place doesn't have sections, I don't know.Was told a lot of good things about this place but it was kinda bad. View all feedback. What Tyson Raynor likes about Save On Meats:
This diner is in the heart of downtown eastside. Has the real diner of 50s feel. Locals hang out here mainly, but great spot for tourists too if staying in a hotel around coal harbour or getting off the cruise ship for a day visit...to Gastown, historic part of downtown Vancouver.

Vancouver's favorite diner offers a mixed experience for diners, with some enjoying the quality meat in the burgers and the friendly service while others were disappointed by burnt burgers, mediocre milkshakes, and lackluster chicken and waffles. Despite inconsistent food quality, the engaging staff and relaxed atmosphere keep customers coming back. A recent revamp brought in organic meats and unusual cuts to choose from, providing a unique dining experience. So, if you're looking for a casual meal with great comfort foods and a local feel, this spot may be worth a visit.
