It's no Keg or Hy's, but for $10, you get a pretty good wholesome meal. I've been there twice and both Linda and Frank are a very charming couple. If you're an original East Vancouverite, at least go there once.

MG1, you have not been? 
You should go. I've been twice and have been wanting to go back. It's a piece of Vancouver that should be experienced by an OG East Van rat like you and I.

Been there twice, its nothing great, pretty much what you expect for a $9 steak with veggies/potatoe. Restaurant itself is a bit of a dive and dated, however the owners/operators are super friendly, kinda like eating at a grandparents place with dated decor, will fill you up for under $10.

i wouldn't call it a dive, but definitely dated. it was actually a blast from the past for me, it's like i stepped in to a time machine back in the 80's because my parents owned a few restaurants/cafes back in the day and made me feel nostalgic

Went there once and like most ppl say, the owners are super friendly and they just makes you feel at home.
One thing that wasn't too good is the SLOOOWWW service. The one time I was there, it took over an hour to get our food. Can't blame them since it's only operated by two ppl

I ate there a few years back. I would say it's definitely much better than a similarly priced foot-long at Subway.
I'll see if I can go back before it closes completely. Had a nice chat with the lady while I was there too...

That place has been there for years and I never had the chance to try it.
I read some mixed reviews online, but still $10 is cheap.

Let’s be honest here, the food isn’t going to blow you away, it’s not gonna win any awards, but it’ll fill your belly, and it won’t make you sick. It’s cooked with care, love, and dedication. At the end of the day, isn’t that what food is about? To nurture and nourish oneself. Linda was very nice and made sure to check on us frequently, and what tugged at my heartstrings is that other customers would say “see you next week!” to her at the end of their meal, like it was a ritual, a weekly habit.

edit: Thanks OP for this, I've seen Brave Bull close and reopen a couple times now, as there would be days when I drove past and a sign would be up for lease, but then seemingly next week they were once again open...looks like it's finally time to shutter the building for Linda. Just earlier this week I drove by and saw the neon OPEN sign on, and was quite happy to see to.

I feel so bad for them. They're gonna get crushed 'til Sunday.
I had a bunch of students come with me one time; table for seven or eight I think. We were almost the only ones there, and as she started taking away our plates, it was all I could do to not jump up and be like "No, grandma, let me take care of it!"
We gave her this big ol' tip and she counted what we'd left and was like "This is all for me?!" It was cute but kind of sad.
