I have been here several times as its pretty close to where I work. I have tried their veggie burger, chicken burger and veggie scrambled eggs with toast and hash browns. They have never disappointed. Both in quality or quantity. So happy that I found a place that gives you excellent service and amazing food.
Deacon’s Corner has the perfect balance of old school diner meets contemporary cool foodie hangout. Do not let my photographs fool you. There were always people coming in and out of Deacons Corner with smiles on their faces and a nice thing to say. (I just like to try and respect peoples privacy when I can.) In fact the serving staff were so super friendly and cheerful, you can not help but be in a good mood when you visit.One of the guests told us that before their recent renovations the place truly looked like it had been plucked out of the 60s, but with all the wear and tear, so the changes were great improvements. I loved it. A perfect blend of retro and modern.We both ordered the Carolina Pulled Pork and Pancakes but got the mini (yes, that is the small portion) which Chef J. C. (Juan Carlo) used his creative and artistic foodie talents to make extra special for us! Oh my goodness I could not stop laughing when this adorable plate came to our table!And wow, WOW, it was so good! The eggs were butter-basted, the pulled pork sweet but not too sweet, absolutely delicious, and I think those were the fluffiest pancakes I have ever had. I have not stopped thinking about this delicious brunch since I indulgedDeacons Corner may not have been around since the 50s (they opened in 2009) but it has to be one of the coolest diners I have ever visited. Its location bridges East Van and Gastown so its setting is a little rough around the edges but the customers and staff make it feel like home.It was the perfect brunch. Everything was charming and the food? OMG, the food was so delicious. I MUST go back! suziethefoodie.com
Retro diner with friendly service. Cheap food just ordered a vegetarian scramble for breakfast & its 4pm. We were jet lagged lol!! Food is simple but very filling, generous serves
Solid greasy spoon with a focus on Southern favourites. Think biscuits & gravy, grits, fried chicken but they also offer classics like bennies and scrambles. Hashbrowns are rsti-style (shredded) – my favourite. Good value (huge portions), fast service. Very heavy food but sometimes that’s just what you need!
Always get their fried chicken anything. Hashbrowns are superb too, very crispy! Gravy is yum, coffee is good. Staff is always friendly. Yum!
Drive by this place everyday and I’ve had it recommended by multiple people. I finally tried it yesterday and had the chicken and biscuits with gravy, It came with a decent size piece of fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits, country gravy, 2 eggs and hashbrowns. It all tasted great and would definitely order it again. The chicken was cooked well, not dry and had a good crunch and flavour. The biscuits were a tad dry but the taste and gravy made up for it, the hashbrowns were you’re standard diner hashbrowns and eggs were cooked perfectly. Service was quick and friendly, I got there just before the lunch rush and it seemed to fill up quick. I will definitely be returning.
For me, this is one of the original diners that started re-vamping the neighborhood. I started eating here before social media comments came to be. I’m glad it has sustained and kept up its east side ambience. The food is still good, especially the breakfast.
