    Great place for a date night or for family occasions. We were greeted very pleasantly by the waitress who made our experience even better for the night. French onion soup was very nice and my partner had a very nice course meal. Value is up there as well. Expect generous portions so ensure to unbuckle your pants. My partner and I both agreed that we will definitely return to try other menus.

    Visited with my husband's family and was pleasantly surprised to find this gem. Although I've driven by often, I never realized there was a restaurant here. The newly renovated space is lovely, and the owner and staff are incredibly warm and friendly. They even shared jokes with our baby. We enjoyed the dishes we ordered, especially the lamb chop which was outstanding. Great portion sizes too. We'll definitely return.

    Fantastic flavours for food And the service was great. I ordered the ahi tuna and I never had it so flavourful. The only downside is the garlic prawns only came with 5 small ones. There wasn’t even enough to share between 3 people.

    Where do I even begin? We've been to Little Billy's twice now, and both times the food has been great, but I must talk about the amazing service tonight. I tried their New York steak last time and wanted to try their Greek dishes next, so I ordered their souvlaki that comes with your choice of two skewers. I got chicken, and was told I could pick two different proteins, so I changed my mind and went with one chicken skewer and one beef skewer. When they brought it out, it had two chicken skewers, which was totally no big deal because that was my original choice anyway. The staff was incredibly apologetic and promised to bring a separate beef skewer when it was done. That, in my mind, was already a good enough fix to the not-really-a-huge-problem problem. Moments later, they came back to our table and told me they would not charge me for the order entirely, which was so unexpectedly generous of them. They then followed up with the separate beef skewer, which was pretty darn delicious too. Everything tasted great, big portions both times, prices are very reasonable, and the level of service shows they genuinely care about providing a good dining experience. There was so much food that we've got enough leftover for another meal tomorrow! Both times we've left Little Billy's with happy stomachs and a great time. In fact, we've already made reservations to come back with family for dinner next weekend.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the lamb shoulder I ordered. Very tender and nicely seasoned. The atmosphere is great and well aired. Food came in a timely manner. Service level is amazing and server showed up with a 100%. Overall would recommend this place

    We got penne with tomato sauce and lamb chops. I break my comment into positive and negative sections: Positive: Lamb chops was delicious. The rice wasn’t greasy which is a bonus. Lamb chops was well-seasoned. The greek salad that came with it was tasty as well. Service also was good. The gentlemen who was our waiter was fast and respectful. I liked him 👌 Negative: Pasta was super mediocre. It’s much like the pasta I make at home in a busy day with store bought dry pasta and canned tomato. The food is a little bit overpriced. I expected more meat. In my view, this place is great for a date, a family dinner, or a business meeting but not for a casual lunch.

    I came here to take myself out to a nice dinner. Craving French onion soup and spanikopita, I ordered those first. And that would have been enough for my meal. Flavours were more than on point, I started making noises of enjoyment. Got the chicken parm for my main and everything was fresh and delicious. Just tantalizing on the taste buds. Will definitely come back for more

    My partner and I visited Little Billy's this evening for the first time. We were extremely impressed with the menu, food, staff friendliness, price, pretty much everything! We had the preset menu which had soup, salad, (choice, but we both chose) steak and shrimp, and dessert. There were a few awesome looking things on the menu so it was hard to choose, but means we'll have to go back. I recommend this little gem of a place..

    Discovered Little Billy's Steak House and been for two recent visits. They offer a mix of dishes besides steak (schnitzel, pizza and lamb). The inside is newly renovated; everything is modern and bright now. Service is friendly and thoughtful, especially if you have young kids. They offer a $26.95 four course dinner (Monday to Thursday). Trip #1 - 2x Saganaki ($16.00) - not too heavy or rich but the cheese could have been oozier. - Greek platter ($115.00) - good enough to share between four adults. - Roast lamb ($31.95) - lamb shoulder was tender. Roasted potato were fantastic but found the rice mushy. - Chef's cut bone-in rib eye ($51.00 for 20oz) - we asked for medium rare and the steak came as requested. - Children's creamy gorgonzola mac & cheese ($10.00) - not on the menu but our waiter offered to make a kid's version. They loved it. - 2x Children's ice cream - complimentary strawberry ice creams for the kids. Trip #2 - Virgin Shirley temple ($3.50) - Berliner weisse ($7.50) - Pineapple mojito ($8.00 for 1oz) - Lemon chicken rice soup - good acidity, quite lemony. - Spring salad - sauce is a light, lemon vinaigrette. A touch watery. - Pork schnitzel - mashed potatoes were tasty. Schnitzel was a decent portion (two pieces) but slightly dry. Needed to be dipped in the gravy sauce. - Chicken schnitzel - Salmon - nicely done. Not overcooked. - 2x Steak and shrimp - we asked for medium rare but it came out as medium. Steak could have used a sauce. - Chicken parmesan - Strawberry sundae - simple but a nice way to end our meal. - Caramel sundae Decent eats at LBSH. 3.5 stars.

    The service is amazing!!! I'm not exaggerating. From the beginning of the visit to the end of the night, we felt [beyond] first class service. We were given some lightly grilled bread at the start. Honestly, I didn't realize it was only extra bread they had available (and decided to give it to us) until I asked our server why we were given another basket of garlic bread afterwards. That was nice of them (I guess it lowered my expectation when I saw the less than aesthetic first basket. Lol.)! The garlic bread was good! We had the French onion soup, the Avgolemono (Greek lemon chicken soup), shared a 20oz steak (chef cut-in bone rib eye) and a red wine (Domaine Baron de l'Écluse). We loved the soups! I asked for a suggestion for a smooth red wine and was suggested the above by our server - what an excellent choice! We were looking for something like Martin's Lane (they don't carry it) but the de l'Ecluse was a similar goodness (Martin's Lane is still top in my books). For the entree, they gave us separate dining plates with mashed potatoes, broccoli and salads because we were sharing the steak. That was a wonderful gesture. The steak was slightly too gamey for me. Fortunately, my other half doesn't mind. We were extremely full by the end. Thank you for the exceptional experience! Would love to try other things next time.

    Fine dining at a fair pricing. We were a group of 6 and everyone had well prepared food. I myself ate the Ahi Tuna, which was amazing, even though a little spicy, but that is a personal preference.

    Hidden Gem, Family owned restaurant for almost 50 years! Clean and bright decor, great food for a solid value and the only late liquor license in the area, perfect for date night! The seafood tower was fantastic as were the hand crafted cocktails.

    The food and the prices were amazing but best of all was the service. We felt so welcomed and the owner was so humble. They even brought my mom a little birthday cheesecake. There was live music and everyone had a really great time. Would recommend.

    I was really excited to visit for the first time as I heard a lot of great things for many years. We got sat very quick and inside was nice and bright. We ordered seafood pasta, salmon, chicken, calamari, lamb etc. Everything was ok. I never had bucatini? Noodles with seafood pasta and it was interesting. It had a lot of seafood but the pasta was over cooked and could have used more sauce? We asked salmon to be cooked medium and it was little more and the Lamb was pretty good. I think this is the smallest portion of rice I’ve ever received ordering chicken souvlaki 😅 I think someone said there may have been an ownership change?

    My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here tonight (with the kids) and it turned out way better than expected. Sad I only managed to take one photo though. Everything we ordered was tasty. My husband loved his bone-in steak and my daughter loved the fries that came with it. Lamb dish was very tender as well. The mushroom appies are delicious as well as the flaming saganaki. Good portion for the price that it is and I would definitely come back. The service is amazing too, very friendly, family like, I totally recommend.

    Cozy family style Greek fusion restaurant. The owner (I believe) is very social and friendly. Food is reasonable but a bit pricey. I guess that’s what we called inflation.

  • 5/5 Coffee C. 9 months ago on Google
    Went here for a work crew get together after work, my first time here and it was great! Atmosphere was stellar, the vibes and decor was very suiting and had great vibes. Most important part, the food! I had the chefs cut bone in rib eye to medium cook and it was perfect! The steak was beautifully seasoned and cooked, the Mediterranean lemon potatoes were delicious along with the seasonal veg and garlic bread. I would highly recommend making a stop at Little Billy’s

  • 4/5 Angela J. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasant atmosphere with attentive staff. The saganaki was like a slice of pie. All the portions were generous, so I ended up taking most of my meal home. The prices were on the higher side, but that explains it. I think it was well worth it. The only downside was that while the chairs would be easy to clean, the wooden seats weren't comfortable to sit on for the whole time.

    Busy, happy vibe..great food and the staff definitely do their best to expedite service during high peak while in a very happening place..was Saturday night when my family and I went and it was non-stop packed. The manager was exceptionally busy but went to trouble to make sure we were taken care of very well as a bit of an over booking occurred. Family restaurant, run by a family since 1975. Highly recommend supporting them :) its not a very big location, could maybe try dining on a regular night to avoid the super busyness.

    Can never go wrong with Little Billy's. A classic Burnaby restaurant icon, with amazing lamb and their chocolate cake 🤤 Recently reno'd with modern decor as well giving a more open feeling to the restaurant.

    We ordered Stuffed Crab Mushrooms for appetizer, lamb chops and a New York steak for mains. The stuffed crab mushrooms were not impressive. Either there wasn't enough crab meat, or the seasoning covered the crab meat taste, we could hardly tasted the crab meat. Nit pick - the mushrooms were irregular - some were in whole and some were chopped. The dish would have been more presentable if the shapes of the mushrooms were more consistent. Mains were big portions! They came with a big salad, and sides (potatoes and veggies). Their pita bread was really good. The lamb chops and the steak were just okay.
