Deacon's Corner

Frequented about 10 times in 2017 and 2018. And now in 2024. Great food. Great service.
And can see other customers experienced the same as well. Great atmosphere.
Parking easy on the weekdays.

The food is standard fair but the prices are outrageous and the service good until the manager showed up with a stick up her ass.

Wow, wow, wow I really loved this place. The food was probably the best we've had all weekend in Vancouver. The waiters were extremely nice and made time to chat with us during our time there. Not sure if it's women-owned but it was super cool to see only women staff.

Old school diner nothing fancy. I had the fried chicken eggs Benny it was okay. The hollandaise wasn't the best. The fried chicken was the best part if I was to go again I would try their chicken burger instead. My partner had corned beef hash. It wasn't the best. The meat was so fatty the ratio of peppers to everything else was also way off(way too much). The pepper could have done with a few more mins on the top. It gets a 3* the service was good the ladies were nice and we were seated pretty quickly for a Sunday.

The food is alright at best, super overpriced and in the poorest neighborhood in Canada, the bathrooms are disgusting, toilet paper kept directly in the floor, garbage in the stall is taped shut. $27.00 for Quesadilla, side of bacon and a Diet Pepsi.
When I emailed the response was not at all humble, blaming area, people from the neighborhood and inflation. Do not go!

Was searching Vancouver for a good greasy soon diner. I found what I was looking for right here at Deacon's Corner. I was craving a classic biscuits, gravy and hash browns. This delivered! I had breakfast here and was full until mid-afternoon. Hit the spot!

Old school diner décor with friendly staff (complete with red booth tables). It's a pretty spacious restaurant. There is decently priced parking nearby (I think it was around $2/hour, meter parking) that is within a 5 min walk from the restaurant. It is a slightly sketchy area though.
MONSTROUS burger with 2pc of fried chicken and Chipotle mayo. They only use chicken breast so it can get a tad dry. I also liked their buttermilk biscuit, served with sausage gravy and more chicken. Definitely super filling.
Bonus points for having milk alternatives available with the coffee.

My order:
Chicken Giant Burger ($19.75)
Chicken & Biscuits w/ Gravy ($16)
Coffee

Met a friend of mine who works for the Aboriginal Open Door Society for lunch yesterday and he chose Deacon Corner at 101 Main street.
We got there about 1:15 pm and the place wasn't busy at all.
My friend Earl and I sat down and the waitress came and put two glasses of water on the table.
The water was warm and we were not given any Ice after I specifically Asked for ICE water.
After ordering our food I had a hamburger and fries Earl had bacon and eggs. The food came I received a plate with a small burger which consisted of meat and a bun nothing else the fries were cold and hard. Earls bacon was Ice cold and NOT once did the waitress come by to see how the food was.
After waiting 10 minutes for someone to collect our plates when we were done, I had to get up and ask for the bill and a take out container for my friends food. The blonde waitress who served us stood behind the counter talking to the other waitress totally ignoring us. I eventually walked up to a woman who was drying silver ware and asked 'politely for the bill and a take-out container. When she came back with the bill she put a small takeout container on the table. Our plates were not even removed from the table and she didn't even put my friend Earls food in the takeout box. I want to also mention when our food was delivered it wasn't even put in front of us like it would be in any other restaurant. It was placed at the end of the table.
The way we were treated in The Deacon Corner was beyond disrespectful and the food was old and cold.......
They treated my friend Earl with such disrespect and I want everyone to know about how horribly we were treated. The bill came to $42.00
Which is a total rip off. My friend is Aboriginal and works very hard in the Down Town East Side taking care of people and I will NOT let anyone disrespect him especially a waitress from a greasy spoon restaurant.
There is a word for the way we were treated at this restaurant on Friday.
Can anyone guess what that word might be?

A group of unprofessional people. If you order food from here they will let you wait for long times. They would not let you wait inside for your food. How unprofessional

I love Freakin Deacons! The folks sure know how to crack them eggs. Juicy crunchy hash browns and the toast did the trick too. Plus the BELTCH had me doin' just that!

This place only has one downside! Let's just say the bacon strips on my plate weren't the only pigs in the place. The damn fuzz was crawling all over the place. That ain't my vibe!!!
