• Good atmosphere, well cooked food.
• Bad parking.

“This is a very candid little neighborhood restaurant located in the heart of Vancouver and nestled among similar independently-owned businesses. Ballew's appeals both to a hometown diner and more refined tastes. There is a little bit of a diner feel with comfortable booths and familiar wait staff, but can also cater to an upscale crowd thanks to the good food and clean standards. The menu is not extensive, but features a variety of dishes: from Happy Hour burgers starting at a dollar (add extras for more) and appetizers like quesadillas and 9-layer nachos (muy delicioso) to various pasta and cream sauce plates, steak and salmon. Ballew's also feature a variety of sandwiches: Rueben, French dip, and veggie are on the list. All the food is well cooked; it is hard to choose a favorite. What really sells Ballew's is the atmosphere. A person can tell the staff all gets along, and within the second visit you can be on a first-name basis with the servers and David Ballew himself. Sitting at the counter (Ballew's has a full bar: the local favorite is the lemon drop) can feel like Cheers reruns. The restaurant always shows great local artwork. ”
