Cheap eats in Vancouver are easiest to find in two places: all-day value deals at counter-service chains, and the afternoon happy hour at sit-down restaurants. As of November 7, 2026, we track 194 live deals at 58 Vancouver restaurants, and 64 of them cost $15 or less. The cheapest full meal we track is the $6 Real Deal Meal at Church's Texas Chicken (chicken, a slider or a wrap, plus a side and a drink), and Tuesday has the lowest day-only prices.
Below: the lowest deal prices ranked by the smallest order you can place, 23 afternoon happy hours sorted by their cheapest food item, everyday deals under $10, weekday lunches, a count by day and a seven-day plan. Prices are in CAD before tax unless a restaurant posts tax-in prices.
What are the cheapest eats in Vancouver right now?
We ranked live, verified deals by the smallest order you can actually place. A deal with a minimum (three tacos at The Pawn Shop YVR) is ranked by that minimum.
| Restaurant | Deal | Price | When | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Church's Texas Chicken | Buck a Wing (B.C.) | $1 per wing | Every day | No limit; limited time, participating stores |
| Taco Bell | Crunchy or soft taco | $2 each | Tuesdays | Pickup or delivery, ordered online or in the app |
| Pizza Pizza | Cheese or pepperoni slice and a 355 mL drink | $5 | Every day | Walk-in only |
| Quesada | Regular burrito | $5 | Any day | Qlub reward, unlocked by a first visit with a $10 minimum spend |
| Church's Texas Chicken | Real Deal Meal with side and drink | $6 | Every day | Dark meat; participating stores |
| Mary Brown's Chicken | Value meals | From $6.99 | Every day | Plus tax; limited time |
| Triple O's | Spicy Ultimate Crunch, Original Burger, Crispy Cod Burger | $7.99 | Mon, Tue, Wed | Burger or sandwich only |
| The Pawn Shop YVR | OG tacos | $2.99 each | Tue and Sun, all day | Minimum 3; dine-in only |
| Quiznos | Toasty Deal of the Day sub | $8.99 | Every day | Takeout only; one featured sub a day |
| The Blarney Stone | Half rack of ribs | $9.99 | Wed and Sun | Dine-in; while supplies last |
The $1 wing is the lowest price on the list, but one wing is not dinner. For a complete meal, the Church's Texas Chicken Real Deal Meal is the cheapest deal in our Vancouver data with both a side and a drink, one dollar more than Pizza Pizza's slice and drink. Both Texas Chicken branches we track, on East Hastings Street and Fraser Street, run both offers.
Church's Texas Chicken restaurants in British Columbia sell wings for $1 each with no limit, for a limited time at participating locations.

$1Per wing, no limit
View DealTriple O's runs a different $7.99 item on each of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at both Vancouver branches we track (Kitsilano and Grandview Highway). The Pawn Shop's three-taco minimum puts its smallest Tuesday or Sunday order just under $9. Its noon to 6 PM happy hour from Wednesday to Saturday also lists $2.99 tacos, and the bar is closed on Mondays.
Two of these are not walk-in prices: Quesada's $5 burrito is a Qlub reward, and Taco Bell's Tuesday tacos are for pickup or delivery orders placed online or in its app. Our comparison of whether restaurant apps are worth it weighs that trade-off across 18 chains.
Which Vancouver happy hours have food under $10?
As of November 7, 2026, 23 Vancouver restaurants run a happy hour that starts between 2 and 6 PM on weekdays, 10 of them independents, and every one is dine-in only. Most advertise a "from $5" price, but that number is usually a drink. We ranked them by the cheapest food item on each published happy hour menu, then by how long the afternoon window lasts.
| Restaurant | Cheapest food | Afternoon window | Vancouver branches |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRAFT Beer Market | $4 tacos (order 2) or chicken sliders | 2 to 5 PM daily, varies by branch | English Bay, False Creek |
| Tap & Barrel | $5 tots or fries | 2 to 5:30 PM daily | All 3 |
| Earls | $5 fries or charred corn dip | 3 to 6 PM daily, varies by branch | All 4 |
| Lucky Taco | $5 chips and salsa; tacos from $6.50 | 2 to 5 PM daily | River District |
| The Cascade Room | $7 hand-cut fries | 4 to 6 PM; Mondays 4 PM to close | Main Street |
| Red Robin | $8 Onion Ring Shorty | 2 to 5 PM weekdays | Thurlow Street |
| The Old Spaghetti Factory | $8 garlic cheese toast or sweet potato fries | 2 to 5 PM daily | Gastown |
| The Charlatan | $8 snack plates | 3 to 6 PM daily | Commercial Drive |
| Hapa Izakaya | $8 edamame, $9 takoyaki | 5 to 6 PM daily | Yaletown |
| The Flying Pig | $8.75 warm olives | 3 to 6 PM; Mondays 3 PM to close | Yaletown |
| Sula Indian Restaurant | $10 pakora or onion bhajia | 2:30 to 5:30 PM daily (5 PM weekends) | All 3 |
| The Rec Room | $10 appetizers | 4 to 7 PM daily | Granville Street |
| The Pleasant | $10 fries, nachos or 3 street tacos | 3 to 6 PM, Wed to Sun | Main Street |
CRAFT Beer Market is the only one here with food under $5, and its happy hour list also has an $8 burger. One happy hour starts too early for this list and undercuts it: The Pawn Shop YVR's runs from noon to 6 PM Wednesday to Saturday (all day Tuesday and Sunday) with $2.99 tacos, the lowest happy hour food price in our Vancouver data. Tap & Barrel has the longest regular afternoon window here at three and a half hours, and its listings show the happy hour menu all day on Mondays at select locations. Its food runs from $5 tots or fries to $10 snack-size burgers or gyoza and $15 wings. Hapa Izakaya sits at the other end: Hapa Hour lasts one hour, though it returns from 9 PM to close Sunday to Thursday.
Tap & Barrel4 deals · 6 locationsSome happy hours are mostly about the drinks. The Blarney Stone's Irish Happy Hour (weekdays 3 to 6 PM) is drinks only, from $6. La Mezcaleria's cheapest happy hour food is a $12 guacamolito, though wine is $7 (weekdays 4 to 6 PM). Chop Steakhouse pours $5 house wine and highballs, but its happy hour plates start at $16. The Keefer Bar takes 25% off bar snacks and dim sum from 4 to 6 PM, Sunday to Friday. Several chains with daily afternoon windows do not list item prices on the pages we check, so they are not ranked.

Cheap lunch in Vancouver: which deals cost $15 or less?
As of November 7, 2026, 12 Vancouver restaurants have a verified live lunch deal. These four have a set lunch price:
| Restaurant | Lunch deal | Price | Hours | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WingsUp! | Lunch deal of the day | $5.99 to $9.99 | 11 AM to 3 PM daily | One item a day; Kingsway branch |
| Denny's | Club Sandwich or Oven Baked Lasagna | $10.99 | 11 AM to 4 PM weekdays | Dine-in; regular-priced drink required |
| Osmow's Shawarma | Daily special | $12.99 | All day, every day | Plus tax; University Boulevard branch |
| Boston Pizza | Main, side and drink | $15 | 11 AM to 3 PM weekdays | 20-minute guarantee is dine-in only |
The cheapest is Thursday's $5.99 Classic Sandwich at WingsUp!. Denny's and Boston Pizza are closer than their prices look: the Denny's $10.99 needs a regular-priced drink on top, while the Boston Pizza $15 already includes a side and a drink, at all 3 Vancouver branches. Osmow's $12.99 is a different dish each day, listed in Osmow's specials by day, and Boston Pizza's specials by day covers the rest of its week.
Downtown, Quiznos (West Pender Street), Pizza Pizza (Robson Street) and Quesada (Howe Street) cover the $5 to $10 range every day, and Quesada's Friday small burrito and drink is $10.99. On Mondays, Sula takes $2 off its vegetarian and vegan curries for dine-in guests. The Vancouver lunch deals page has the rest.
Which day has the most cheap eats in Vancouver?
Tuesday has the most live deals overall, but Wednesday has the most at $15 or less. Counts as of November 7, 2026, including deals that run every day:
39 of the 64 deals at $15 or less run every day, so the gap between days comes from day-only specials. Tuesday has the lowest prices: $2 tacos at Taco Bell, all-day $2.99 tacos at The Pawn Shop YVR, the $7.99 Original Burger at Triple O's and Hapa Izakaya's feature tacos at two for $10. Wednesday adds the most specials, including Triple O's $7.99 Crispy Cod Burger and The Blarney Stone's $9.99 ribs.
Saturday is the thin day. The only deal at $15 or less that runs on Saturday but not every day is Osmow's $12.99 Lamb Shawarma OzBox, and 24 happy hour deals run on Saturdays against 28 or 29 on weekdays, so build a Saturday around the everyday deals and the daily happy hours.
FeaturedSundays and Tuesdays are all-day happy hour at The Pawn Shop YVR, with OG tacos at $2.99 each (minimum three) and $4.95 lager.
