Lower Mainland Milestones Restaurants
Headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario, Milestones is a popular premium-casual dining chain. The place offers chain-dining staples such as burgers, steak, and pasta, along with a popular Happy Hour menu. Milestones is also a kid-friendly restaurant, offering colouring sheets and crayons for younger visitors.
Milestones is a wholly owned subsidiary of Recipe Unlimited. The restaurant company also owns other popular chain dining establishments across the country (and the United States) including the Keg, Swiss Chalet and New York Fries.
Since opening its first location in downtown Vancouver in 1989, Milestones has expanded to more than 40 restaurants across Canada. Locations are available in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. However, the original Milestones restaurant, as well as all other downtown Vancouver locations, have since closed.
Lower Mainland Milestones Locations
There are seven Milestones restaurants within Metro Vancouver and the surrounding area. These include the following:
- Coquitlam – just off Highway 1 at 2745 Barnet Highway. However, as of early 2025 the restaurant is closed for renovations (and has been for nearly a year).
- Guildford Town Centre – within the mall at 10355 152nd Street in Surrey.
- Highstreet Shopping Centre – within the mall at 3122 Mount Lehman Road in Abbotsford.
- Langley – at 20075 Langley Bypass in the middle of Langley City.
- Park Royal Mall – outside the mall in the Village at 1096 Main Street in West Vancouver.
- Southpoint – in Surrey at 3085 152nd Street.
- Tsawwassen Mills Mall – inside the giant outlet mall at 5000 Canoe Pass Way.
The menu at Milestones is pretty consistent throughout all of its restaurant locations. For dinner, Milestones has a selection of appetizers, salads and bowls, burgers, sandwiches, steaks, pasta, and other main courses. Although most items are standard chain-dining staples (for example, bacon cheeseburgers), the menu also includes some interesting Asian-inspired dishes, such as wonton nachos, Thai basil noodles, and a sushi bowl.
Prices are typically mid-range. However, Milestones’ menu is slightly less expensive than that of similar chain restaurants, such as the Keg. Most of the restaurant’s main dishes are between $25 and $33. The most expensive item on the menu (as of early 2026) is a 16 oz. Rib Steak, which costs $59.
On our most recent trip to a Milestones restaurant, members of our party had the surfside salad, sweet chili chicken bowl, and also the butternut squash ravioli. All were delicious! The ravioli looked small, with only eight or so stuffed pasta pieces on the plate. It was, however, rich, very tasty, and surprisingly filling.
Milestones also has many options for those with dietary restrictions. Menu items are marked with symbols indicating whether a dish is vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free. The restaurant also offers substitutions such as lettuce wraps or gluten-friendly buns for burgers.
Kids Menu
Some locations offer a kids’ menu for children under 12. Entrees on the Milestones kids’ menu are priced from around $10 to $15 and include a drink and a dessert. Options range from classic kids’ favourites like grilled cheese and mini burgers to fancier options, such as grilled salmon or chicken with jasmine rice.
Happy Hour
Milestones offers its Happy Hour menu every day from 3:00 pm until 6:00 pm, and again from 9:00 pm until close, consistent across most locations. Food on the Happy Hour menu includes appetizers such as spinach and artichoke dip, coconut calamari, and steak frites. The menu ranges from $9 to $33 for food and from $6 upwards for drinks, which is pretty good. Some days, bottles of wine are 50% off.
Note: Happy Hour times and prices may vary by location. Check the official Milestones website for the most up-to-date information. (Prices listed are subject to change.)
