George's Food Bar Ltd - Hamburger restaurant in Courtenay, Canada
I didnt expect to find hotdogs in with my hamburger but it was good. Everything I had was good, could have used a large bag of fries not enough for my liking in my order. The onion rings were great! Overall 4 ****
Havent been here in years. Ive never been disappointed in stopping here. By far best burgers in town, probably the whole island. Dont let the exterior fool you, amazing food rolls out that window every time.
Expected tasty food, not so much!
Every town needs a burger joint like this. Knocked off one star because the milkshakes are too small and could use real ice cream for the price. Don’t kid yourself I’ll be back many more times for the combo.
Amazingly good burgers made fresh to order. Definitely recommend visiting this little gem of a spot if you’re in the area!
The best takeout in the Valley. I.hole they re-open soon... Please?!
Ive been missing out for far too long! Finally got a chance to try them out, and it was lovely. Cant beat the price for what you get, and you sure as heck cant beat the taste~
I always get the cheeseburgers, best burgers in town, hands down
You never know when it’s open, but when it’s open it’s the best combo burger deluxe ever! Cash only, order first and pay after it’s cooked. Seems to be open after 1pm
This place has been in Comox Valley for decades as a family owned business. It is a go to place for the best take out food for the locals. Food is fantastic. Highly recommend. Is cash only.
My mom went there as a teen then brought me there growing up. We went every time we went up island to visit grandma. The best mushroom burger. Mom still craves it to this day.
Get the combo deluxe. You won’t be disappointed. I always stop here whenever I am back in the valley for a visit. Absolutely fav place to get lunch or dinner in town.
Been coming here for decades. Food is delish. Highly recommended. Great stop for tourists.
WOW!! The best hotdogs Ive ever had. We had to come back for seconds. The churro bites were amazing and the slushy lemonades with fresh raspberries. Oh my gosh! So your self a favor and go see the girls at the food truck, order heaps of food. You will not be disappointed!!!!!!!
At last, they were open today when I drove by! 🙏 I have been hearing raves about this place for years and finally had the opportunity to try it out. I was not disappointed, the Combo Deluxe Burger that I ordered was freshly made with delicious ingredients and was still very hot when I sat down to eat. The fries were not bad either. I will definitely be coming back!
The food is awesome although the prices were recently raised and the hours are very inconsistent. It seems like they are only open when they feel like it.
I was looking forward to trying this place out but it was close due to rest day. I figured Ill take a photo of the menu for everyone lol. Photo as of April 2021
Youll drive by a hundred times and itll be closed and then one day, BAM its open. And when that day comes, oh boy its a good oneBurgers on pointFries on pointMilkshakes on pointWhat more can could you want?
Delicious classic! Combo Burger and Onion Rings never fails to satisfy.
My family has been eating here for 3 generations, absolutely the best fast food in town. Chinese Food and Burgers. Every time I come home this is a must have.
So good! Simple and fast drive-in style burger place. The owners are the only two people working inside so consistency is excellent. It seems to be a hidden gem that locals love. My only complaint is I wish I discovered this place earlier!I usually order two bacon cheddar burgers and fries! Real bacon, American cheese and stadium style burger on a soft bun. I wish Courtenay had more of these little mom and pop food places!
Best burgers around! Fast, excellent service. They have their own way of dealing with orders, so if you aren’t used to it, it could come off strange, but have faith.Food is served up hot off the grill with every order. This family run joint has been around for decades, and they know what they’re doing. We have never had a bad experience, and come back multiple times every time we’re in town!
There’s nothing like a George’s burger & a chocolate milkshake! A must have when in Courtney!
Definitely not what I was expecting after hearing how amazing the burgers were here. The burger tasted off, and the flavor was not very good in my opinion, also the fries were not fully cooked and were also very tasteless. My daughter does want to try the Chinese food so, at some point we will try it again, maybe it was an off day but not expecting much, hopefully will be surprised.
This food bar was my brothers favorite food joint way back in the 70s when he used to work in the fields which is now Ducks Unlimited. This place has had excellent customer service for all these years and serves up amazing food too!
Such a good burger. It was cheap too. The customer service was amazing. Will be coming back.
Great value. Lots of onion rings in an order. Burgers can be a little greasy, order the deluxe version to get the lettuce and tomato. I’ve been told the Chinese food is amazing. Look forward to trying that next.
Literally cant explain the high rating, the burger was super gross and bland.Fries were limp and soggy.I never write reviews but this place is only for those with a laconic palate.
Best homemade burgers for under $7 at this little hole in the wall stop, poutine, too. All they need are a few picnic tables at the side of the building, although sitting in your vehicle and munching is okay..Just get lots of napkins, because those burgers are juicy...
First time here . . . An acquired taste as a venue for sure. I was promised the burgers were amazing. I though they were simply solid but nothing spectacular. The side of chicken chow mein on the other hand was terrific. I could have eaten two more orders of it and it totally overshadowed the burger for me.
Very popular place for long time residents of the Comox Valley. Both times I visited there were line ups to order and receive food. This is an old-fashioned order-at-a-window style take-out place with a basic menu and no seating. Service is brusk but fast. It primarily serves various types of Chinese food and burgers. On the recommendation of a friend I ordered chow mein and fried prawns. The chow mein was the best I have ever had. My other companion had a mushroom burger which had been their favourite for decades! These are not low calorie meals but they are delicious! Check ahead to make sure they are open.
Living most of my life in the area I had always heard about Georges mainly good but the usual few bad about Health Board issues. My partner had frequented Georges when he was younger and had raved about how good it was. We had driven by on a recent trip and saw it was open and stopped. I ordered an Almond Chicken and he ordered a Burger and fries. I had been told by him that you were to just place your order and walk away no questions . I think this protocol waa from when the owner was alive but the son and his Mother were working but i followed along anyway lol. I had wondered about Chow Mein etc but assumed it had to be a Combo for a price of $12.50 so that part is entirely my fault. There was a couple of orders before ours but it wasnt too much of a wait . I did observe that the orders were being taken and there was no washing hands after touching the cash and preparing the food. We were going to eat in our car when we got our food. I opened up the container and all that was in it was 2 pieces of overdone deep fried chicken with a few ( and i mean only 6 or so slivered almonds on top . No sauce or gravy or Chow Mein. I was disappointed but I felt it was my fault for not asking. My partner felt bad but i said just let me have some of the fries and you can eat your burger. The first fry tasted great the next one no good. The aftertaste from the first fry had hit the back of my throat and made me gag. The oil in the fryer had to have been extremely old and tasted rancid. By this time my partner had eaten a bite of his burger and was spitting it out. He said it was extremely greasy and didnt taste right. I knew the chicken was cooked in the same dirty oil so it was a lost cause. We pulled over to the garbage can and tossed it. My boyfriends childhood memories of Georges wont be the same 😕
This place is an icon in the valley. No seating, no waitress, no cocktails, no frills at all really just plain great Chinese food. I have been going here for over 20 years and still love it. Havent tried the burgers but I understand they are awesome as well.
Delicious as always. Just the best little burgers around!
Ultimately the best burger you will ever put into your mouth. The Chinese food is the best Ive ever had.
Georges is a locals favorite. It didnt matter how big the crowd or how big the order, George never wrote it down and he never got it wrong. Food is soo tasty. While Im very sad that old George recently passed away, his wife and son continue to run the business the same way its always been run. I will always be a regular as long as theyre open, and Ill always recommend it to visitors of the valley.
I have been going to Georges since I was a child and now I am 31 and its still the same. Best mushroom cheese burgers and best chowmein EVER.
By far the best greasy spoon on the island...cranking out the hits since the 60s, this food bar is unbelievable. With classic burgers/hot dogs/chicken/chinese food...there really isnt much that is left out when it comes to deep fried decadence. I mean where else are you going to get a massive egg roll and a coke for 4 bucks? This is all very fascinating to you all, Im sure. But the most impressive fact abthe world record holding memory of the cook. Who holds a record for 100+ orders without making a mistake. Go there, eat and indulge. It really is amazing!
Great place for the iconic "combo 🍔 burger" that the family has been serving up for years! Dont forget to try the chow mein and boneless sweet and sour ribs!
Meh. Not sure the hype. I am all about supporting a small family run place but just seemed like wasn’t much love left in this place.Prices are good, food is descent.Root beer Milkshake was watered down, nothing special.
The best place in the country to get a burger and sweet and sour pork. They have the best sweet and sour sauce I have ever tasted. They have been around for the last 50 years and I have had other things on there menu and they are the best. I fully recommend that you eat there you wont be disappointed
Best burgers Ive ever had. Imbued with the glory of a mans lifelong dedication to his craft. The one and only Georges, not just fast food, but a pilgrimage site.
In a word, Yum!It is a strange place, different than most. You walk up, the guy looks at you without saying a word. You tell him what you want and then he walks away. You are pretty sure he took your order, but not entirely sure. A few minutes later (depending how busy they arehe will look at you. Walk up, pay for your food, and away you go. Seldom a word exchanged, but the food is fantastic :)
When we first pulled up to Georges, I felt like we were intruding on some super secret local spot. The service left something to be desired, and outside was rather derelict, but what a treat for my tastebuds! Cheap, fast, and surprising delicious. Going to have to make a regular stop here 🍔
Legitimately the best burger and fries Ive had in all of my travels around North America. Fresh ingredients cooked perfectly. The burger ratio was spot on. Incredibly fast too!
Its not what I was expecting. I thought it would be a hipster burger like "Mile One" (Mile one is in Pemberton BC where we eat burgers).It was a fast food burger. And, it was a really great fast food burger. Its what you imagine the first McDonalds was before that jerk Michael Keaton ruined it. ;But seriously , it was a delish fast food burger, wayyyy better than Mcs or BK, or Wendys etc. Also, the onion rings were good, and the chicken wings were so big and yummy (I think you have to ask for sauce though, fyiI havent tried the Chinese yet, but I will.*edit; As for price, its about on par with any fast food burger. But way better value.
I’ve bi going t9 George’s for twenty years ,and also my sister ,and the burgers were the best but we went there nov 30 2017 and was compliantly disappointed they were awfull ,and tasteless they are doing something deferent now ; the frys were excellent but the burgers were tasteless
Great burgers, cant wait to try the Chinese food.
Great food in the worst way. Tasty burgers, love the one with a hotdog and the one with egg too. Your mouth says yes, your heart says "your gonna kill me eating like this". Great treat tho! Dont mind the service, its part of the experience. You know the "soup nazi" from Sienfeld? Its it bit like that but with burgers and Chinese food. Tell him your order and back away from the window. Hell yell or point at you when your order is done. Enjoy.
Heads up, Georges is legendary. Not for their service, lack of emotion, or even acknowledgement of your existence. What you get is awesome food. Plain and simple. I have been ordering the combo burger for over 30 years and its incredible every single time. Its never changed and i wouldnt want it to. Its the standard by which i judge every other burger Ive ever had and they all fall short.
