Rude waiters from the moment I walked into this place. Barking orders like I am imposing on their night. They were not very flexible, wouldnt even let our large party push tables together. When I asked they said and I quote "Um, no". They did not give the option for pay as you go, only open tab. Thats fine except for the fact that when the waiter was clearing our table she didnt mention anything about closing a tab like every single other establishment I have been to. Instead she said "Have a good night" and went on her way. Nice right. Until you get halfway home and have to turn back because you forgot to close your tab(and of course they have your card). Sure Im an idiot for forgetting, however it is their job to ensure that they get paid and to provide me with that customer service. I only wish they treated their customers like the cook cooks food. Their food is the only good thing I can say about the place. But a delicious burger can only make up for a certain amount of BAD customer service.

So I had a long day at work, a very long day, from 0600 to around midnight. I walked in there tired and dirty, the bartender says what would you like Lee, another Black Butte Porter? The guy sensed I was worn out and treated me as such. I couldnt believe he remembered my name or what I drink as this was only the second time I had eaten there, I had a sandwich and one beer the last time and that was the week before. I asked what he would recommend and he stated the Western Burger so thats what I ordered. All I had to eat that day was a pastry of some sort so I was starving. The burger was large and utterly delicious..... DELICIOUS!!!! I travel a lot and go to a lot of bars and rarely, if ever do I receive customer service like. Outstanding, 6 Stars I never write reviews this long by the way.

When Im looking for a bar, I tend to look for three things: Good beer, good grub, and a laid back, quiet atmosphere. The Garage fails in every way. The music is loud enough to drown out a fighter jet at PDX. I am not sure why they blast it. Maybe they assume I hate talking to the people Im with? The food is very disappointing; I got some steak bites marinated so heavily I think they were technically pickled, and they managed to screw up a side of toast. HOW do you screw up toast? The Blue Moon I ordered was definitely a Blue Moon, but the orange slice looked like it was pulled from the Winco rejected produce bin and aged to perfection. In short, save yourself the trouble and go to Low Bar. Not quiet, but infinitely better.

Blue collar bar with way better than bar food. Whether you come for breakfast or not, you can expect a great plate of food that isnt deep fried frozen crap. I think the chicken fried steak is even hand breaded. Key thing is blue collar. This is a working mans bar, near the railyard and Port of Vancouver. If you come here under the impression youll get club music and the pretty people, youre in for a bad time. The people who frequent the place, as well as the staff, are kind and friendly; the atmosphere is what youd expect from a bar where guys who get their hands dirty at work come to have a few beers before going home.

We sat at the bar, ordered one beer each. We always tip for good service, but since it was just pour us a beer and go, no tip. Checking our credit card statement, the server tagged on her own tip! This isnt the first time the staff has tried to get more money. Theyve added extra drinks and/or food on our bill other times weve visited, so when we checked it over before paying, weve had to point out extra charges EVERY time. Were done with the Garage and its greedy and cheating staff.

Great food, huge portions. Place used to be a sad neighborhood dive bar, but recent renovations have cleaned it up nicely. Lots of natural light, etc. Their "normal" burgers are 1/2 pounders, so you arent going away hungry. About a dozen beers on tap, probably a 50/50 mix of macro/micro. Staff was super friendly one day, and at least polite the other time I visited. Only downside is that it is 21-and-over, but you can always order takeout for the kids.

I recently took my parents to lunch here who are 73 and 74. My mom loves a good Rueben and Ive been telling her all about the one here! She was very skeptical because she thought she had already found the best one in town. Needless to say this Rueben surpassed anything she has ever had!!! My dad had the cheeseburger and he loved it!!! Well be definitely coming back here for sure!!! Amazing food and awesome staff!!! Thank you!!!

Service was great, food on the otherhand was not good. Both of our orders were screwed up and the meat was burnt. Then to top it all off, one of the servers sat down behind us for her break and kept sucking food threw her teeth for over 20 minutes. Not impressed at all! My suggestion is to stop for a drink on your way to dinner.

First time here. Great food. Friendly staff. Whats not to like? Made my partner forget all about how his motorcycle died at Frenchmans Bar and we had to go manhandle it onto the pickup to get it home. Stopping at "The Garage" made it all worthwhile.

The best Vikings Bar in Vancouver, Washington. The night chef does some awesome sauces for the wings (50cents on Mondays) and a massive and tender Prime Rib Night (once a month). Breakfast every day and really strong Bloody Mary. This is a fun time.

Been here many times and it always seems like your an outsider there. people keep to themselves and the staff seems overworked. Its OK, if you want to grab a real game of shuffleboard, unlike warehouse 23 whose boards are ridiculously small.

Definitely a blue collar working mans place. A couple of my co-workers and I order breakfast to go from here a few times a month. Always very good. Today we figured we would try the burgers. Glad we did, they were awesome!! Keep it up guys!!

Great food, large portions, friendly staff, clean inside and abundant parking. Music rotates from whats on TV to a much louder unique mix from the jukebox. Accommodates large groups. One of the best places in the west side of Vancouver

This was a great place. Went there to escape the ordinary. Very nice well lit good music and not too loud. Lots of things to do. And the food was amazing. Very nice selection of foods. Good drinks served and service was pretty good.

Want a place to hang out with your friends, sit down, play some pool, eat some local grub, and bond? The Garage is it. Love it when its sunny & they open the garage door & have table service outdoors. Clean, hip, yet cozy.
