Servers were very friendly and enthusiastic. Their butternut squash ravioli is to die for. Also, they offer one of the best lettuce wrap!

My wife and I travelled from Portland Oregon to celebrate our wedding anniversary and decided to try this spot out, And boy are we glad we did! Our server Kyle was the man and he gave us amazing service and doubled as our BC tour guide. High recommend this spot!

Had an amazing time at the cactus club. I am part of the management team at a restaurant downtown and I must say that Ayesha is a stellar employee. She was so much fun and had such an amazing energy to her. Exactly what you want when you come into any restaurant. Such a great employee :) thank you Ayesha for such a great dinning experience.

I came up from Seattle and on my way back home stopped by this Cactus club for a drink. Alex the bartender was an awesome dude and I had a great chat with him over a great beer. Although I came in close to closing time, service was great and I will definitely stop by next time I'm in town.

Just wanted to say our waitress Ayesha was AWESOME!! Wish we could have her as a waitress all the time. Ayesha keep up the fantastic work. All the cactus clubs need employees and role models like you. I’ll be back all the time.

Slick waiting service with text to say table ready. Dedicated staff - greeters/ table host/ waiters with clear roles. Food came quickly and good portions, well cooked. Enjoyed cocktails which again aren't exorbitant

Table next to harbour window sought after and worth requesting.

Slight niggle is insincere robotic patter from staff but I appreciate this is standard practice and it's all asked in a very polite friendly way (Been asked same question every night for 2 weeks)

Overall highly recommend.

I wanted to express appreciation for the well serviced meal at the Cactus Club Cafe’. My business associates and I were able to enjoy our meal, relax, and discuss important matters in a friendly environment. From the very beginning, the manager (Rhoda) introduced herself in a professional manner. Our server (Ryan) and bar tender (Shelby) took really good care of us. It is obvious that Rhoda and her staff work well together as a team and was alert to our needs. Our selections included a few starters: Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Tuna Stack, and Crispy Yam fries. Our mains included the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Prawns, the Chargrilled steak, and the Blackened Creole Chicken.
Thank you Rhoda, Ryan, and Shelby for enabling us to have a successful business dinner together. We are looking forward to the next meal.

Cactus club is usually good at any location. You can never go wrong coming here. I personally like coming for happy hour since drink prices are pretty good. Also cool environment.

This is one of my preferred places to go and hangout with friends or by myself if I am too tired after work. The steak is always cooked to my tasting. If you haven’t been there, I would definitely recommend and if you have been here, you already know the amazing staff and food.

I’ve been to Cactus Club a zillion of times but this location (across from Metrotown) has the worst service. Wait was long. We’re quoted 25 minutes, but waited for 40 minutes. Server was not attentive. She barely smiled and when she took our order, she didn’t even bother to spread out the food. I prefer to have my chicken wings before my dinner, but everything was bought out at the same time. I would still come to Cactus but I would avoid this location.

I went here because a friend in my party could only eat gluten-free items. In all honesty, the pricing is a little much for the quality, in my opinion. There's a lot to choose from, and the service is on point and friendly, but I feel like the food wasn't really worth the price.

Great location, great ambience, great service and to top it all off, great food. Try the dry ribs for starters and the Bengal Chicken is spot on. Well done, keep doing what you're doing guys.
Thanks for great service Samantha and Kelsey!

We had a truly wonderful meal at the Kingsway location of the Cactus Club. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer all of our questions about the menu.
We started with a selection of appetizers: sea salt fries, yam fries, dry rubs and green beans in a Szechwan sauce. All excellent although the sea salt fries were just average.
Our entrees were also excellent. The peppercorn sirloin steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as requested. It was a little tougher than expected but still good.
My Rob Feenie designed Hunter chicken with four types of mushrooms was a total hit. Grilled with skin on and drizzled with a tasty sauce, this was definitely the best entree on our table. The grilled chicken breast was perched on top of a pile of pan seared green beans and double baked potato chunks.
The other entree, a bacon cheddar burger on a gluten-free bun was also a big hit. The massive slice of a dill pickle was a taste sensation.
For dessert we shared the peanut butter bar with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The other dessert was a molten lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and raspberry compote.
I preferred the molten lava cake although the peanut butter chocolate bar was excellent.
All told, our experience at the Cactus Club on Kingsway was superb.
Highly recommended and we will return again soon.

Worth the stop for good food and beautiful people. After having driven by a few times, I finally stopped in. It was a busy lunch hour, but two of us got seated in the bar area pretty quickly on a Tuesday. I got the curry chicken and my colleague got the fish tacos. Both of us had plenty to eat. Both dishes were fresh-tasting and pleasantly presented. The only drawback I saw was that the water glass looked like a super-sized old-fashioned glass and had to be refilled a lot for me to be satisfied. People were friendly to this American who had a credit card with no chip. Each person asked gave suggestions for what to order. I agree with another reviewer that the volume was a little much for much concentrated conversation, but there were plenty of beautiful people to give some entertainment.

Convenient location. Luv this cactus club as its conveniently located just across the street from metropolis. so i pretty much come here after every shopping excursion @ metro. my only gripe with this cactus club is their tiny darrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk parking lot. i'm always wary of parking there in case my car get's scratched dammit. the best option is to pay metred parking on the street. their albacore tuna tataki in a yuzu vinaigrette and butternut squash + prawn ravioli are a few of my faves. great dim setting ✓ good music ✓ infamous bellini's ✓ good eats ✓

Could review ths establishment 100 times. That is how many times I have been here. The waitresses are a bit older here than downtown for some reason but they nourish the soul (via the eyes) adequately. Tip full 20% all the way. Wear shades when with wifey which makes cutting my steak difficult lol. Really delicious good job on the meat and sides every time

Late arrival to dinner. Got there after work where my friends started eating and the server was very nice and accommodating to my late arrival.

Had "The Burger" which was a pretty huge burger with everything in it apparently and it was pretty good.

Great as always. I am very pleased with my recent visit to Cactus Club. Their food has always been decent; not out of the world but definitely considered satisfactory. What keeps me coming is the great atmosphere and the amazing service. Since i am a girl, i don't really care if the waitresses are hot or not; but i did definitely notice that they are all SOOO nice and approachable. I had a great experience.

Good food. Nice selection on the menu. Decor was nice and the atmoshere is relaxed. Try the grilled salmon sandwich and salad. Perfect amount of food and a healthy choice. Prices were out of line for lunch. 4 people for lunch was $120 without adult drinks. $15 for a basic salad.

Best spot in Burnaby. I agree with other reviewers about the "eye candy" at this location. Boots and tight skirts a good meal makes. I have been here with my wife but its also a good place for dates. Or with work colleagues if ya wanna check out the entertainment. Surprisingly the wine aint too expensive and the food is accessible and definitely healthy.

Superior service and looks nd food IN RICHMOND!!!!!!. Cactus has always been a favourite. Though the prices have increased over the years, you are mainly paying for the ambiance (including those girls) and decor which is rather unique. Food is good but can get pricey. You can take a client or a lady friend and expense it. But why bring a date when there are so many ladies with skinny legs here?
Like i said this is the kind of place you dont bring a date.
However even the quesadilla at under $10 tastes excellent.
Service is quite good. The staff and waitresses are upbeat and sexy.
Very trendy style place but highly recommended. It's pricey but not too pricy, it's romantic but casual sports bar like at the same time.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!. What can I say? Good steaks? Check? Full bar? Check. Appys? Check? Great service? Check. GORGEOUS WAITRESSES? Check.
It's not just the beautiful people who work here. The food is great. If it weren't no one would come back. But they have it all here. Ask for the margarita specials!

Out of all the causal dining chains, “Cactus Club” seems to be doing the best. With the most locations in the province, and a few on some prime real estate. Their two newest locations are busy by the water. One at English Bay and the other with a view of the Olympic cauldron in Coal Harbour. Which proves its location, location, location. I have been to several and at each have seen some unique pieces. I have seen giant iron pigs, stone griffins, a fat Mona Lisa, and a vase as tall as a basketball player. Below is a listing of the dishes I have tried over my numerous visits. Each beautifully plated and delicious. I have never sent a plate back or had something I couldn’t finish. All together I have pretty much tried 1/3 of their menu. “The Bellini”. Peach schnapps, champagne, Bacardi white rum, and sangria.  Non alcoholic “Ginger fizz” with mint and blackberry & “Strawberry Splash”. “Signature Caesar”. Smirnoff vodka, mixed with their signature blend of spices and clamato juice. Finishe

Pesto Chicken Quesadillas 10.50. This order was pretty big and so cheap! Lots of chicken, and lots of cranberries. I didn't think pesto, chicken and sundried cranberries would really go together but it did, very well too. If you haven't visited Cactus Club before, I suggest you go to a different location. This one is very tight, small and not a very goof first impression. I suggest the Burrard location or the newly opened English Bay location.

The pasta was al-dente and tossed in a deliciously sweet and tangy tomato sauce. It was served with a generous amount of scallops and prawns as its namesake suggests. Both were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly tender. On the side, were 2 parmesan crostinis which I didn't really

My new place. The staff very knowledgeable and approachable. Whatever music station they are tuned into don't change it. You have to have to try the truffle frys! Fantastic! Wide variety of craft beers and wines. Extensive menu of entrée. As restrictions are loosening this establishment was extremely busy. Service was very efficient and you were taken care of immediately. I highly recommend it.

I don’t normally come to this location but I’m happy I did. We luckily made reservations as during dinner time it gets quite busy. We were seated right away. The food is consistent with the other locations. My favourite would be the butternut squash ravioli which was rich in flavour and very filling. The truffle fries are delicious. Service was polite and very prompt. Will be coming back.

My group of 3 went to Cactus Club around 730pm. We had noticed several tables open but were told it was 15-20 minutes wait. That's one thing I don't understand, if a table is open wouldn't you want people to come and eat? This is unheard of in any Asian restaurant, as they want more than one sitting. The food is always good. And the service is exceptional.

A nice place to have a birthday. We sat at the patio and they have heat warmers The staff forgot our order a few times (drinks or appetizers- waited for truffle fries for 30 mins and one person didn’t get their drink for 30-40 mins while we all had our drinks first) - this is where the lost star came from. The food was delicious. Blackened creole chicken : tender and cooked great. The skin was crispy and flavourful. Mash potatoes were creamy and the sauce from the chicken made it taste more delicious. Asparagus was cooked perfectly, a bit bland ( favourite dish here) Truffle fries and yam fries - crispy and the dipping sauce made it even more delicious. Yam fries is sweeter and truffle fries has a nice savoury taste to it Jambalaya Rice Bowl - a lot of flavours, a light spiciness to it. Has shrimps and variety meat to it. Steak and frites: least favourite, plain and wasn’t as juicy. The salad was a bit soggy. Wouldn’t come here for their steak Drinks: we had beach Bellini and passion fruit Bellini (if you like it sweet peach Bellini, but if you like sour, passion fruit Bellini is delicious). These are slush drinks. Definitely come back for casual eating and for a simple birthday. Easy to do reservations online

The restaurant was full when we came but got a nice outdoor seat, the food was pretty good. Outdoor seats were better than inside because was noisy inside. Staffs' service was average, the hosts didn't have welcoming face.
