Located at 3096 Main St, Vancouver, Burgoo is the perfect spot when you’re craving a warm, hearty meal. With a versatile menu offering everything from creamy mac and cheese to savoury risotto, this place is ideal for any occasion.

Burgoo’s atmosphere has a charming cabin-like feel, with plenty of nods to Canadian history. The rustic, forest-inspired décor makes it a great spot if you prefer a more relaxed, less overstimulating dining experience. The ambiance is calm yet sociable, striking a perfect balance. Plus, the staff is incredibly welcoming and always happy to help with recommendations.

For an appetizer, you can’t go wrong with the calamari—it’s always a solid choice. But if seafood isn’t your thing, they also offer chicken karaage and cauliflower bites, both of which came highly recommended by our server. It’s up to you to decide which one will take the cake!

We didn’t order any specialty drinks, but Burgoo has a great bar stocked with a wide selection of local options. From BC wines to craft beers and ciders, there’s plenty to explore if you’re in the mood for a little drink.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the mac and cheese. This dish is unbelievably rich, with a cheese pull so perfect it should be legendary. It’s topped with carnitas-style pulled pork that adds a sweet and savoury twist, making for an unforgettable bite. As someone who has tried a lot of mac and cheese, I can confidently say this one ranks in my top five.

I didn’t get the chance to try their soups and sandwiches, but based on my TikTok research, they are a hot topic of conversation whenever Burgoo is mentioned. The Gooey Cheese Grillers, in particular, seemed to be a fan favourite, so if you’re a grilled cheese lover, it’s definitely worth trying.

And if you have room for dessert, the chocolate mousse is a must. It’s rich, decadent, and pure bliss from the very first bite. Trust me, you’ll want to save space for it!

If you’re planning your Vancouver food adventures this spring, make sure Burgoo is on your list. The cozy atmosphere, incredible comfort food, and nostalgic rustic charm make it feel like a trip back in time.
