Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Chilliwack – 2024

Delicious food, great service, very attractive pricing for the super varied menu. Something for everyone! It was my first time in for dinner after having had lunch once or twice. Had the California Crispy Chicken Burger and substituted yam fries. Will definitely be back!

The four of us came in before the supper rush. We were shown a table quite quickly and soon a young lady took our drink orders. We chose our orders and gave them when our server had time. It took a while for the dishes to come out, but eventually they did. The Taco Beef Poutine seemed a bit salty, but the Chef’s Salad was great (grilled farmer sausage is a nice touch). The burger we got was rather plain, and the onion rings were under done. I think our poor server had too many tables as she wasn’t really on her game. It seemed like a rather popular place, but I don’t really know why.

What a great experience!! We walked in, we were seated in less than 10 seconds and GRACE was unbelievable professional and always smiling! The food was great ! The Christmas decorations and music, wow! We loved the overall atmosphere ! And this is the best place in town for Onion rings and prawns!! Cheesecake portion was bigger than we expected! 10/10 ❤️

We booked the igloo experience and our view was amazing. Our waitress Maggie was absolutely incredible. Super accommodating and friendly. The turkey club was so good and the steak bites were amazing. Would definitely recommend it!

We had a great meal and great service. Highly recommend the steak and the ribs. The local corn was delicious. Ashley was our server and she friendly and went out of her way to accommodate and make it a pleasant evening for our family. Thank you!

We have had Ashley as our server a few times and she is always fantastic! The food is consistently fresh and delicious. Great ambience as well.

Recently, my friends and I celebrated an important event in this restaurant after a wedding, and everything was just great! The cuisine is beyond praise: each dish was truly delicious, prepared with love and attention to detail. The service is also top notch - the staff is attentive, friendly and professional, which created a special atmosphere of coziness and celebration. Thank you very much for the warm welcome and the wonderful evening we spent in your restaurant! We will definitely come back!

It’s not very often I have a perfect experience at a restaurant, but I sure did at Chilliwack bow and Stern restaurant! It was a beautiful summer day, so we sat outside underneath the umbrella to keep the sun off of us. Their patio is very cool! Hannah was our Server, and she really was as perfect as a server can be. It was my Friend’s birthday, and not only did she love it because her food was fantastic, she was really treated well by the restaurant. She had a fantastic dessert that she shared with us. I had the fish and chips, and it was fantastic as well. I highly recommend the Bowen Stern, and want to mention that this has been one of a number of great experiences. I have had there. I almost forgot to say that their New England clam chowder is amazing!

Very impressed with the Bow & Stern . Food was on point delicious and well plated. It was a slower time of the night when we arrived so no pressure and food came out fast . Had a friendly server Ian who did an excellent job . A great layout highlighted the marine aspect of their name. Definitely a great spot for friends and family . I will be back

Had a long 6-hour drive and was looking forward to taking a break and eating somewhere new as we still made our way to Vancouver but my rice was hard (fresh mixed with old rice). Deep fried prawns were so hard it shattered in my hand. Very disappointed! Didn’t eat anything after this picture was taken. Money is down the drain.

My only complaint is the spring rolls were a tiny bit salty the rest was absolutely delicious. I took my pictures after we already started eating. Was so yummy. Will definitely come back again with friends!

Such an amazing place, i got a large wonton soup for myself and when it was delivered it was brought to the middle of the table and i said "just for me" and she was like "for one!?!?" it made me laugh the entire day, and i ate it all. besides that food is amazing little wait but not too bad depends on the amount in the restaurant. atmosphere is nice with traditional art pieces on the wall.

Everything was perfect for a family birthday party. Service was excellent, food arrived quickly, and, tasted amazing, especially the calamari, roast lamb dinner and seafood linguini...Bon Appetite

I recently dined at The Greek Islands Restaurant and had a fantastic experience. The Chicken Cordon Bleu was delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The staff were amazing—attentive and friendly. The warm and inviting ambiance added to the overall enjoyment. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning soon!

My husband and I went on a date here.We ordered one of their platters two. This came with a choice of soup, salad, or frys. The portions were big. We were so full after the service was friendly and the atmosphere was great.

We had dinner here and ordered steak and frites (one medium and one medium well), blackened chicken crunchy salad, seared ahi tuna salad and fish & chips. All the dishes didn't disappoint. Everyone enjoyed their food and it was cleaned plates after we were done. I had the tuna salad and it was seared nicely on the outside to a tasty crisp. The inside was soft and fresh. I stole a bite of the blackened chicken and it was moist and flavorful. We'll definitely be back to try the other items on the menu.

We had a great meal. Our server was very pleasant. Wished you offered some Miller/Coors products, but the wine was delicious.

My husband and I always have such a positive experience at this location! I just have to give a shout-out to the amazing customer service of Tess and Tyawna. It really makes such a difference in our day when they are on. Kindness and a smile can totally make my day! Big thanks for making our experience so great! #happydays #thankyou #customerservice

We visited during happy hour and ordered the crispy duck wings and Holy Macaroni—both were exceptional and left us wanting full-size portions next time! The duck wings were perfectly crisp outside and tender inside, offering a truly unique flavor. The Holy Macaroni was equally impressive, with a satisfyingly crispy exterior and rich, flavorful interior. For our main course, we had the sesame-crusted yellowfin tuna, which was both delicious and beautifully presented. We also tried the French onion soup, a standout dish that balanced flavors perfectly without being overly salty—changing my usual hesitation toward this soup entirely! Overall, it was an outstanding dining experience with impeccable flavors and presentation. We’ll definitely be back!

We loved this place so much that we went twice—once for dinner and another time just to enjoy coffee. Both visits were outstanding. The ambiance is that of a cozy yet elegant French bistro, perfectly blending warmth and sophistication. While the restaurant is known for its top-tier cocktails, we found ourselves enjoying the wine selection. Each dish we ordered was made with care and bursting with flavor—every bite was a treat. The service added to the charm, with a team that was not only attentive but also genuinely fun and friendly, making the experience feel welcoming and special. The espresso and cappuccino were also top-notch, perfect for taking a moment to relax on a rainy day. The covered patio looked inviting as well, a great spot for enjoying a meal outdoors. The brunch menu looked amazing too; we’ll definitely be back to try it next time. The Offy is nestled in a beautiful neighborhood, called District 1884, filled with charming little shops, making you feel as if you've stepped into a European escape. It's definitely worth the trip—even from afar. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience or just to pop in for a coffee and cake!

Might have found a new brunch spot! Happy hour specials were on point, and their popup menu items are definitely worth checking out. Cute as heck patio. Staff and service was 10/10. Will definitely return. Highly recommend

On our way to Harrison Hot Springs for the weekend, my family and I stopped by Bravo Restaurant & Lounge in Chilliwack for dinner. The service was excellent, and the food exceeded expectations for a small city. We ordered the steak medium rare, and it was perfectly cooked. My daughter had the pork, which was juicy and tender. My favorite dish was the tuna. It was beautifully seared and perfectly paired with the sauce and greens, creating a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Very nice higher-end romantic restaurant. Phone ahead for a dairy free desert. Some good gluten free options as well.

It was our first time trying this restaurant after hearing many good things about them. They did not disappoint. For starters, we shared the seared calamari in a sesame reduction. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. The sauce was savory with a touch of spicy sourness from the kimchi. It was very perfect for dipping the sourdough bread. For the entree, I ordered the AAA beef tenderloin. It was cooked to a perfect reddish pink. Absolutely tender and smooth to the point of almost melting in your mouth. For dessert, we had the tasters trio of the chocolate creameaux with brownie, Kahlua cheesecake and the vanilla bean creme brulee. All 3 were good but my favorite was the creme brulee. I'm not a big fan of creme brulee but this was to die for. It was not too sweet and the texture was smooth and creamy. They added a candle as we were celebrating my sister's birthday. That was such a sweet gesture.

Their pasta taste good but the fried calamari is too salty so imma give 4 star for the food. However, the service was good, the guy at the bar was attentive so imma give 5 star in general. Recommended to give it a try!

Anyone giving this place less than 5 stars has no idea how restaurants work and how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a standard over several locations. Great value and proper italian food at a great price point. Well done to the staff as well. Super friendly and well trained. Ian was great.

It has been many years since we have eaten at Frankie's so decided to have a birthday dinner there. The food portions were deceivingly large, and mostly quite good. I would advise against the ceasar salad though. The servers were friendly but seemed disorganized. Not enough to ruin the evening but worth mentioning. 3 times we had to ask for silverware. The restaurant seemed very clean and in good repair. It is a little loud for my preference but it does work with the casual vibe.

Loved our experience. Family friendly but with class like an olive garden. Great food, awesome service had a young fella stop and grab our plates when we wernt his table so that was a great observation on his part. Got to try the famous ice tea!

Everyone seemed on edge. Burgers and fries potions were great, not so much for the skewers and my ceaser salad was soggy and when mentioned they offered to add more lettuce to it to make it better? Seemed annoyed and didn’t bother to apologize or rectify. Had to ask for refills with each persons drink that sat empty for some time. (Party of 5) Overall not impressed. 5 years ago it was much better, service and portions were better. Seems super cheap with ingredients now. Greek salad had next to no feta and when asked for some more was told $4 charge for a tiny cup more. Damn. Won’t be returning.

If I could leave negative stars I would! Absolutely awful experience tonight!! We arrived at 5pm. Waited not even 5 minutes to be seated. They weren't terribly busy as the dinner rush hadn't begun yet, the parking lot had tons of parking available. Once seated we ordered our drinks. Not long after (maybe 5 minutes) we placed our son's order as my hubby and I were still undecided. 10 minutes later our waitress took our order. Our son's meal came out 10-15 minutes later. The restaurant started to get a bit busier as more people arrived. But there week still some tables available. Our son finished his meal (baked lasagne) in 20 minutes, and as soon as he finishes, the manager happened to be passing and cleared his plate. Our waitress came back and asked how his meal was and he ordered ice cream which she brought almost immediately. Nothing was said about our meals. She passed by our table SEVERAL times over the next 15-20 minutes or so, and she never made any eye contact with us or communicated as to what was happening with our dinners. 2 baked pasta dishes. We saw 2 parties who came in AFTER us receive their dinners (steaks).We sipped our drinks and became frustrated as we thought this was a long time to be waiting and watching others who came in after us get their food was even more frustrating. We finally flagged down a different waitress and asked if she could find out where our food was. We saw these other parties leave at this point while waiting to find out where our food was. Our waitress comes over and rudely says "what's going on, what's the problem here?" As if we interrupted or bothered her. Seriously?! I looked her dead in the eye and said we have not received our meals, you have not communicated anything to us, it's been now 1.5 hours for pasta?! I'm a diabetic and need to eat something. Her response was well we are busy. I told her no, you took our order BEFORE you got busy. Miss manager comes over, and has the same response, we're busy, and does not want to hear that we ordered before it got busy and watched people eat and leave that came in after us, and offers a salad while she goes to find out where our food is. At this point we are done and reject the manager's pathetic offer and follow miss manager to pay for our son's meal and drinks so we can leave. When they pulled the bill up on the computer, we clearly see that our 2 meals were never even entered by this pitiful waitress so they weren't even being cooked! The owner came over and wiped the bill after miss manager wanted to charge us for our disgusting experience. He shook my husband's hand and offered his sincere apology after my husband explained he had been in the restaurant industry for years and this experience is what loses tons of business. Especially for a well known local place like this! We come here all the time and have never EVER had an experience like this. Not sure if we will ever go here again. That "manager" needs to brush up on her management skills, and that waitress needs to be retrained on proper table and customer service. We haven't seen her before, because the other long term waitresses are amazing! This experience definitely left a bad taste in our hungry mouths!!

I’ve tried a couple of meals at Cookies Grill in Chilliwack, and every single one has been absolutely delicious! The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for brunch. highly recommend! Also we waited about 15 minutes for a table, it gets busy specially during the weekends, and it’s definitely worth it.

Highly recommend Cookies Grill! We found this gem of a home style restaurant today for their Thanksgiving turkey dinner and it was fabulous! They serve a fabulous roasted turkey, homemade stuffing and real mashed potatoes with roasted vegetables. They serve this for 2 days over the Thanksgiving weekend…so glad we got to enjoy. We’ll definitely will be back to sample other items on the menu. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing!! Staff are amazing

I just moved to Chilliwack and have been looking for a good breakfast place. Cookie's Grill definitely nails it. I ordered the stuffed French toast and it was amazing! Not too sweet, with very nicely balanced flavors. Can't wait to come back and try more delicious food here.

My father and I came here after a long day of fishing on the river. This was the perfect warm meal to come back to. All of the food was delicious, the servers were friendly and very attentive, food came fast, and the meals were very fairly priced. Both of us really enjoyed the coconut rice and the cashew nut chicken!

The food is amazing. Everything was spiced perfectly. I would journey back out there just for the Tom Kha Gai soup. Love the atmospheric lighting inside and the service was great.

Has become my favorite Thai food shop in Chilliwack!!! Food was very tasty, bit too much of a "thickener" in the cashew chicken and a tad on the higher side for food portions. There was no good dessert menu and they don't have a Thai iced tea available to go like most Thai shops I go to but still, this place is worth the visit! I imagine even more so if you eat in It took them 7 calls to answer their phone but were friendly enough when they did. Green curry with chicken Cashew chicken Coconut rice

I'm a little confused with this place. It looks like it should be a nice fine dining restaurant, however majority of the food on the menu is just crappy pub food. Most of The food did not have much flavor. In fact the fun guy burger was pretty disgusting. The hot wings were very good, perhaps the best tasting hot wings in chilliwack, however you only get 8 wings for $19, very disappointing. I'd like to see more fine dining restaurants in this town, there's really only a few, and this restaurant easily has the potential to be one of them, but if I'm just going for pub food, I'll likely go somewhere else. I gave it a 3 because it's a nice restaurant on the inside and the service was average. But the food would be a 1 or a 2.

Had a pleasant experience here, sat at the bar and we were attentively taken care of. Definitely one of the more upscale spots in Chilliwack. Would recommend any of their “nibbles” and “District Gold Rush” cocktail

For food... A BIG NOOOOO not again from me! Expensive, poor quality and really NO substance. *see pic, there's no denying it* If you want to go for a drink maybe it's alright?? I wouldn't but good luck. I was excited to see a pub so close (I'm a block away) but I doubt I'll step foot in there again that's sad. See pics and let me know if you'd be happy with it, especially for the price!!! I'm not a fast food person but I'm thinking I would have been better off. Good luck if you want to try it.

I truly don't think there's been a single thing on an Earl's menu I haven't enjoyed. I typically have their Truffle Parmasean Chicken every time I go, but my partner and I decided to branch off and try something new last night. He had the bacon cheddar burger with truffle fries, and I had the tuna poke bowl. Both were absolutely delicious, served at a perfect temperature and very fresh ingredients. Service is always prompt and welcoming. Earls is probably a favourite for me.

Earls Chiliwack always delivers. They run a great operation, Centrally located off the highway in Chiliwack. Ample parking, always fully staffed, food is on point, quick and most of the time well presented and flavorful. Service is executed well with everyone helping each other rout. This particular Earls is one of my favorites and will be back many times in the future. Thank you

Food was consistent with other earls we’ve been too. So no complaints here. I usually frequent the Brentwood and Metrotown location in Burnaby. I was in town for work and was meeting colleagues here. The person serving us was really the only reason why I am giving the 4 star as I felt they were very distracted is the best way to put it. When greeting us she seemed bothered by having to serve us and was constantly looking elsewhere while taking our orders. She barely said a word out side of the following: What did you want to drink? You ready to place your order? No check back I’m not looking for a full on conversation but I guess with how customer centric the other earls I have visited have been, this one just stood out as one that was not at the same level of service. I found the food runner for us and the server that was serving the table across from us was much friendlier and more attentive. I unfortunately did not remember the girl who served us today…..

I'm so jazzed with the revival of the Little Beetle! Very cute, modern aesthetic, and the food is absolutely superb! The food is reasonably priced (considering today's economy, the presentation, and freshness of ingredients), and staff were very accommodating. My only caveat is that there is a significant wait time (albeit they are VERY busy, so keep that in mind). I think I saw a sign posted that they cut staff breaks in order to accommodate the wait times. My recommendation to management would be, don't. Your staff are your number one asset. Customers will come and go, but ensuring your staff are cared for is so important. Clearly, you do, as I also saw in the sign on the door to have folks complain to management, and not the staff with any issues. Everything that I've seen so far was great. I loved the food, the presentation, the new york ticker-tape style sign, even the salt and pepper shakers were adorable! Loved it. We will be back!

This was my first time at the new location after they moved. We went during the weekday so we were seated quickly. The service was extremely prompt and the food was excellent. I would say the softest most delicious French toast I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Very reasonable prices and a cool drink menu that switches like an old airport board. My only negative would be the tiny tables, it was hard to fit everything without feeling crowded. Can’t wait to return!

Finally have the chance to visit this highly recommended Little Beetle in Chilliwack. As one of the most talked-about hidden gems on social media, this café truly lives up to its reputation. With its cozy yet stylish décor and thoughtfully prepared dishes, the early wake-up call felt entirely worth it. We ordered two signature breakfast dishes, both a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. The first was the Chicken French Toast: two thick slices of French toast topped with crispy fried chicken thighs, drizzled with sweet maple syrup and tangy BBQ sauce, accompanied by golden, crunchy fries. This dish masterfully balances sweet and savory flavors, with a perfect combination of textures in every bite. The second was the CHWK Brekkie, a hearty and classic breakfast featuring two fried eggs, crispy bacon, farm-style sausage, hash browns, fresh seasonal fruit, and a slice of homemade sourdough bread. Every component was fresh and delicious, offering both comfort and satisfaction with every bite. Although the prices aren’t cheap—around $30 per person on average—the atmosphere, the freshness of the ingredients, and the incredible flavors make it absolutely worth it. Little Beetle is undeniably a hidden gem among popular spots, and this breakfast experience was nothing short of exceptional. Totally worth the trip!
