Featured on You Gotta Eat Here and Diners Drive-ins and Dives, frequented by all the locals, and recommended by AFB?  Must warrant a food blog review from yours truly.  After a long day of inner tubing at Cypress Mountain, we descended into the North Van area to find some eats.  We found Tomahawk and were greeted by a boisterous crowd of Vancouverite hipsters looking to indulge in some feel good barbeque action.  Although the restaurant was packed, we were seated almost immediately and our burgers arrived soon after.  Both my colleague and I ordered the highly recommended Tomahawk Burger.  It was a mile high combination of beef patty, wiener, fried egg, bacon, shredded lettuce, onions, cheese, tomatoes, and their specialty sauce:  a chubster's delight.  The burger was definitely near the top of our list of great burgers however it did have a  few faults.  Our biggest complaint was an over abundance of lettuce and not enough sauce.  The fries were fresh and crispy and delightful.  Upon return, we would definitely order another one of the numerous menu options which all looked scrumptious.  The atmosphere of the restaurant was without a doubt one of its most alluring factors.  It was full of locals, tourists, regulars, and first time costumers like ourselves.  Conversation filled the air and the servers were kind and welcoming.  The prices were average ($10-20) for an entree.

We recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Vancouver area.
