Black Frog Eatery

I'm 19 so I was very excited to go to Canada and order alcoholic beverages and this place was absolutely amazing to go to. The drinks were delicious and reasonable priced. My salmon burger was really yummy and my boyfriend loved his burger. Clean restaurant and decent service. It took them about 25 minutes to bring us our check after we finished eating but i understand that sometimes happens. Overall would come back!:)

This place was delicious. We had Perogies, Poutine. Burgers, and Yorkies. The food was very flavorful, and our waitress was very friendly. The restaurant has open air seating that gives you a great view of the gas clock. There is something for everyone on their menu.

The Black Frog benefits from a fantastic location, just down a side street from the Gastown Steam Clock, thus with each toot of its steamy, sweaty horn (i.e. every 15 minutes), you'll find yourself acutely aware of such temporal truths as: your wait time until being greeted and seated; the time it takes before someone comes to take your order, how long it takes to manifest tableside, the duration of your meal, and the interval until your check arrives. Great for customers; not so much for the servers! At times, I'm sure they feel the pressure as acutely as the water heating up in the pipes underground!

Fortunately, the staff here at the Black Frog hop to it in an efficient, even if our particular server seemed a little green around the gills. A tadpole, if you will. Sadly, they were also out of some component required to make their signature cocktail, the Black Frog Raki, so I'm unable to croak about that specific beverage. They were similarly unable to concoct an Old Fashioned due to a shortage of another spirit, so I ended up with a Kentucky Mule, my wife with a Gin Martini, and an order of calamari split between us. Tragically, no frog's legs on the menu. Maybe that would have been a bit too on-the-nose (on-the-nares)?

Alright, I'm sure you're all sick of the puns by now. Even though it's been a ribbeting review....dammit, I did it again. I'm sorry, I keep frogetting to be serious when writing these things. I'm no lily-pad-livered liar; you can de-pond on me! I promise, I'm kermitted to telling the truth, so no matter wart-ever else you take away from this review, remember this: the Black Frog serves nice croak-tails at reasonable prices...as long as all of their lick-er is in stock!

Again, I rarely give 5 stars, but I absolutely loved this place!! Our family had gotten into town late and we were hungry. It's a great location right next to the water. I'm sure the view during the day is awesome. Our server was so helpful and appropriately attentive which I really appreciate. Now the food:

Highlights:
Fish and Chips - we just got back from London and had fish and chips. Probably three times while we were there and these were better. The batter was fluffy and not soggy at all. The fish flakey. Would absolutely get again.

Poutine - I know you can find poutine everywhere but these are some of the best we've ever had. The mushroom was absolutely key. Amazing flavor. Could not stop eating.

Green Onion Pancake - could have used a little more onion flavor and the pancake a little flakier but it was solid and a welcome portion.

Will absolutely be back.

The location is great as it's tight next to the Steam Light. Food can be described as higher end pub food. The prices for beer even during Happy Hour are steep running $6.75 -$9.00 for craft beers. My wife's Halibut and Chips was one the best she ever had. My Pork Schnitzel was cooked well but I found it lacked flavor and the portion size was too much. The accompanying side vegetables were awesome and tasted as if they were cooked on a smoked grill. Overall was a good experience but wished I ordered the Pierogi's.

Pretty great place for pub food that is affordable.
We had a few drinks here and fish and chips. The fish batter was fresh and the fries were crispy. Service was decent. I think in Gastown this is a great place to go to for good food, drink specials, and a friendly atmosphere for a decent price point. Not too fancy but great place to fill up your belly before a concert.

Fun spot for food and drinks. The poutine was yummy In a great area to walk around and shop.I would definitely come back to Black Frog when in Vancouver.

Nice little sports bar. Food and service were good. Staff was very friendly. Came during the hockey playoffs and was lucky to get a seat at the bar

Nice little pub with solarium seating and a nice casual environment. They have a great offering of local beers on tap, as well as bombers, bottles, and a full bar. I was excited to try the Yorkies, mini roast beef filled Yorkshire puddings. They were okay, but the roast beef seemed over cooked from reheating, and I couldn't taste the horseradish in the mayo. I would definitely come here again for a beer but would try another of their pub food offerings.

Yummy food and nice atmosphere. You could miss it, because it is off to the side without a big sign. There were options for the whole family, with burgers that have very large parties at a good price, a vegetable wrap full of goodness and flavor, and some oh so tender and delicious halibut fish and chips. The fish was soft and flaky, with very nice flavor and batter. Nice service, too!
