Boy With a Knife Grill

We love this place. They do delivery/​pick up and they also have a nice dining room to serve lunch & breakfast.
Their Soups and sandwiches are great :) they have different options everyday.

Wanted to go to this place a while back, glad I made it here today. Their Salami & Prosciutto sandwich was to die for. My friend’s Turkey & Cranberry looked good too. Sadly, they close at 2pm so we were on a hot rush to get out so no pics. I did find their board a bit hard to read not because of the handwriting but because it had so much info on written on it. I remember reading their menu when I first heard about them and wanted something from their grill. I couldn’t find it on the board.
Their complimentary fruit-​infused water is refreshing but I’d prefer carbonated water.
I wish they would open up one of these restaurants near my work as it’s a bit far off and hard to find. I guess their main target is the for the offices nearby as I’ve noticed most of the customer get take-​out instead of dining in. There is limited seats along side the walls and the glass frame where you can keep a watch on your car.
I’d definitely like to come back here… or they can come to me. Maybe delivery?

My chicken was under cooked the vegetables was sub par it must’ve been an off day, clean kitchen as one of my pet peeves, i will try again in the near future.

Great place, kinda hard to find but worth it once you do. Haven’t tried the deli/​takeout but definitely will soon.

Was in Richmond a few times over the summer months and was looking for a spot to get a good lunch and not at chain. Heard about Boy With A Knife and decided to give it a try.
The first time I sat on the deck, and later moved inside. It was a sunny day and even with an awning I found it to hot. But let’s face it not many places in this industrial area you can have a sandwich, a beer on a patio for lunch. I had the chicken burger. It was fantastic lots of flavour. The bun was too large and only ate half.
The second time I just had a roast beef sandwich from the deli. The beef is shredded and I think they add some glazed cabbage or onion it was amazing. The best beef sandwich I’ve ever had and have told everyone about it. Definitely worth the trip just for this sandwich. Washed it down with a bottle of Coke, yes a bottle not some fountain or canned drink. Not sure why the bottle makes it taste better.
I’ve been back a third time and had the hamburger. Really good flavour and maybe a bit to much to eat. I couldn’t finish it, and was completely full the rest of the day. Worth having but maybe share it with somebody.
Very casual atmosphere with fast friendly service, it has a Gastown feel which I really like. The chef was there and his helpfulness and enthusiasm has won me over.
They have a few kinks to work out but definetly worth giving it a try. I know I will be back.

Trendy cool new place by my work!
I heard about it through a co-​worker and I browsed on the website to check out the menu. I was so impressed by all the options that I just had to make a visit! There really aren’t any cool places to go for lunch in our area that are within walking distance, except for this place! I absolutely hate taking my car out when I only have 30 minutes for lunch, but the fact that I could walk to this place sparked my interest even more
On a thursday afternoon a couple co-​workers and I hit up the deli area. I was impresed with the nice clean design of the place and the fact that they gave you complimentary cucumber/​mint water (yum!). I ordered the oven roasted turkey sandwich that had DELICIOUS caramelized onions and cranberries on toasted sour dough bread. I saw on the menu display that in one of their sandwiches, they used sriracha mayo (which I’m a HUGE fan of!). I just had to ask for a side of it to add on to my sandwich! and man, I’m glad I did! that kick of spice along with the sweetness of the onions and cranberries literally hit the spot just right.
Would I come here again? Hell yeah! Check out the photos I’ve posted to see how cool this place is! Next time, I want to order from the grill menu. Their crispy chicken sandwich looks CRAZY good!!!

Came here with coworkers. They have been big fans of the deli ever since it opened. Ordered the chicken burger and half the table ordered the pork belly quinoa rice bowl. The ingredients in the chicken burger were fresh. Liked the addition of avocado and sprouts. However I wasn’t a fan of the kaiser bun. It threw off the bun to filling ratio. Way too much bun. Other guys also ordered the salmon burger and they thought the same thing. Coworkers who ordered the pork belly bowl were all super disappointed. Most of them had a hard time finishing the bowl. The pork belly was overlooked and too tough to eat and there was too much quinoa without enough dressing which ended up being pretty bland.
Not sure if my burger was worth $ 16. We will probably all come back to give this place another shot. If anything, save half the price and order a sandwich from the deli.

Grand opening July 27, 2015 in replace of 2 Chefs. New management, menu, and design with the same servers and cooks. Came here for lunch today because it’s close to my work with high hopes of a good lunch option in the area. Front of the house is their deli and a sit-​down restaurant offering their grill menu in the back with a nice patio (separate menus for both).
We opted to sit on their back patio and order from their grill menu. I had the chicken brie + fig sandwich with a side salad ($ 16) — overall I didn’t think it was worth the price tag. The chicken was grilled nicely however the bun was a bit hard. The fig preserve and caramelized onions added some great flavour however it was missing some crunch, maybe some greens and tomatoes? The side salad was fresh and included leafy greens, cherry tomatoes, sweet red peppers, cucumber and a sweet house dressing. $ 16 is a bit steep considering they have some great-​looking sandwich options at their front deli for half the price ($ 8.50). I’ll definitely try one of those next time and skip the restaurant grill menu altogether.
Great, friendly service and nice hipster-​ish vibe — exposed natural wood and minimal clean design. They have a few kinks to work out (no gluten free options available yet and their portable card machine didn’t arrive yet) but it’s understandable since its their grand opening.
3 stars for now since I didn’t find it a great value, will update when I try their deli sandwiches!
