BY PAUL REID
Greetings food fans. For the third time in a row now people we are venturing to that strip of Kingsway, between Nanaimo and Victoria, just in time to catch the Tipper as it celebrates it fifth birthday (as of May 15).
The Tipper is that little piece of coolness that somehow broke off from Main or Commercial and drifted East to an area much in need of such. If you haven’t checked out this east-side eatery, featuring delicious west coast classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner, then you must.
So what has happened in five years? “We are much more tied in to the community now,” says the owner, Colin. “People have gotten to know us and they have witnessed the integrity. It hasn’t been easy though and we did not celebrate our fifth anniversary too much since we still have some things to iron out.”
Always listening to feedback and changing accordingly, Colin does feel, though, that the Tipper has worked past its initial growing pains, now with a steady clientele of regulars who will swear, “The Tipper Rocks!”
A quick look to an online foodie forum such as Yelp.ca reveals that the locals are lovin’ the Tipper. With an average of four stars (out of five), the reviewers appreciate the awesome food, attentive service and comfortable atmosphere. Here are some of their quotes:  “best that it gets,” “Perfect little gem,” “Old school good service!” “Great food and great service–definitely one of my fave spots in Vancouver.” “I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect breakfast. Found it!” “Good flavours with a feeling of home cooking. I’ve been satisfied every time!” “Hands down the best omelet I’ve ever had and that’s saying quite a bit!”
I, too, love the Tipper. On this occasion, I acquainted myself with one of Tipper’s Steak Sandwich with a side of those awesome fries with chipotle mayo. And of course an ice-cold pint to wash it down, a Red Truck lager. With pints going for $4 ($5 for a giant one!), you can’t go wrong.
Aside from the awesome food, Colin has followed through with his initial vision to help local artists. The walls serve as a rotating gallery featuring local artists and the Review Room in the back is home for local musicians and performers. (Visit the website for upcoming bookings). You too can book the back room. Talk  with Colin to iron out the details. Way to go Colin!
Bon appetit.

Recent review On yelp.

4.0 star rating
12/16/2015
Been there twice now. Pretty standard fair, really nice staff. Solid fries, but when I ordered the buffalo burger it seemed like the patty was dry or cooked from frozen, which wouldn't have been a huge problem if It didn't cost $16+.

Thanks John for waiting until your second visit to write a review. Would like to thank you too for letting us know that the buffalo burger you ate was perceived to be dry. I say perceived because we didn't discuss it in the restaurant, I read it in the review you wrote. Although, it's such a lean product that Yes it can be over cooked in just a few moments and I / we appreciate the feedback. Especially since we are extra passionate about our Buffalo and want all to enjoy.

Will also let you know that The product is Fresh from Famous foods where we shop daily. Not frozen, not.

Also for all those Fresh, Free Run, Organic Buffalo Burger eaters a Fresh hand pressed 6oz patty in your burger that comes with real cheddddar and a generous side at 15.50 plus tax (which we do not control) is great value. Actually should be up for review for a little increase to reflect the cost and time put into the product. 

You are correct a dry buffalo burger isn't fun and one of our really nice staff would like to hear about it when it is in front of you & we can fix it no fuss. 

Please say hi if you choose to join us again.

all the best - Colin

Hi there folks. 

Come join me pal Chris MacLean and I at The Tipper on Thursday, September 24, 2015 for an evening of songwriting and stories.  Antonia Robertson will be joining me for my portion of the show.

The Tipper
2066 Kingsway, Vancouver

Show time: 8:00 - 10:00 pm.

Chris MacLean, Wakefield, Quebec

"Chris MacLean is a singer you trust. Maybe it’s her lyrics – she’s especially good at marrying interior and exterior landscapes – or maybe it’s her voice, an inviting blend of warmth and clarity…. Whatever her secret, the Gatineau hills-based singer/songwriter is a balanced voice in an off-kilter world.” - Patrick Langston, Ottawa Citizen

For an idea of what inspires this consummate explorer, take a walk down a dirt road. Listen to the creek spilling a long winter’s melt. Paddle ahead of an oncoming storm in a small canoe. Chris adeptly stretches herself across a wide musical spectrum from traditional and contemporary folk to jazz and world music.
Following the award-winning success of her CD 'Feet Be Still', Chris set sail on a transformative emotional journey that would ultimately reinvent her life. 
The 14 songs on her new CD  'Procrastinator' - supported by The Canada Council for the Arts - speak to these years, reflecting on life's curve balls, her seven-month sojourn in South Africa, and her mother's final months. 

Chris also works as a Voice Movement Therapy practitioner, a voice teacher, a choir leader, and a graphic artist. 




Bob Stark, Vancouver, BC

"Bob Stark may be one of Canada's best kept singer-songwriter secrets. In the tradition of Jesse Winchester or Leonard Cohen, his songs of love and life paint a gentle picture of adult life in today's world."  Doug Cox, Artistic Director, Vancouver Island Music Festival
Bob has recently released his seventh CD - 'Storefront Photograph'. 
Storefront Photograph...... is to be savoured on a winter’s evening, in front of a slow-burning fireplace with a glass of good wine, or perhaps a scotch-and-soda, in hand. And if there is a memory of a lost love, all the better.This is Bob Stark in his mature adulthood, contemplating life from the perspective of age and experience, at ease with himself and the place in which he finds himself. Sjef Frenken, Grubstreet, Ottawa
Previous releases include: Modern Day Romeo (2012); Life On A Postcard (2006);Love Songs for Bureaucrats (2000) One Candle Burning (1994; Levels of Survival (1991); and Beyond the Stars (1988).

"You are the most unique performer I have ever seen" - Patron, The Roxy, Ottawa, ON. 
"Whenever I feel down and sad, I come to hear you play and you always make me feel better" - Patron, The Nozzle, Ottawa, ON 
"Oh no don't do that.....please please play another sad song" - Patron, South Hill Candy Shop, Vancouver 
"Stark is an excellent songwriter and he's a warm relaxed personality with some of the best between song patter I've ever heard" - Dave Mulholland, The Ottawa Citizen 

"Consistently good song writing." - Northern Journey: A Guide to Canadian Folk Music.

It's True. We're here, because you were here.

Major news paper no need for reviews on us, not that we wouldn't do well, or poorly.. just not interested in false growth. We opened in 2008 and had a extremely tough time until the end of 2012 & proud to say we earned being open serving the Community. The first few years we could have used the boost, and Now other FANTASTIC eateries need it more than we do. Please use your written words wisely and help them out with the attention, they will still have to do their part and earn loyalty.

This goes for foodies on the also, if you love food, vs love to eat, hear yourself type and blog, know the effort that goes into the process daily. You & Your words count and can help good quiet places grow. Love the food & the efforts :)
