There’s a new spot to grab ribs, wings, and drinks on Robson Street.
Eldoria BBQ & Bar has officially opened, taking over the former Ole Chicken space.
We previously reported that Ole Chicken had closed earlier this year, and now the location has a completely new look and menu.
Eldoria teased the opening in October, promising flame-grilled meats, house burgers, and cold pints.
The doors are now open, and the menu is built around hearty plates and shareable combos.
Ribs are the star here. They’re tender, smoky, and come in full racks for groups or big appetites.
Wings show up crisp with bold sauces, and there are plenty of sides to fill the table: fries, garlic toast, nachos, and onion rings.
The burgers range from classic builds to something a little different.
One standout swaps the bun for a grilled red bell pepper, holding together a juicy beef patty, melted cheese, and crisp lettuce. It’s lighter but still messy in the best way.
There are also combo platters that feed two to six people, making the place an easy pick for group dinners or casual hangouts.
It’s relaxed, friendly, and the portions lean generous.
Inside, the atmosphere is warm and social. Families are coming for ribs. Groups are settling in with pints.
And there’s a small arcade machine that’s free to play.
Each month, the highest scorer gets a free full rack of ribs, which adds a fun, low-stakes competitive vibe.
The overall vibe is cozy and laid back, the kind of place where you could stay for a full meal and then hang out a bit longer.
If you’re into comfort food, group dining, or just want a new casual spot along Robson, this one is worth a look.
Eldoria joins the growing lineup of relaxed, share-friendly restaurants bringing new energy to Vancouver, including TWK, Mary Brown’s Chicken, and Oishinoya.
