We started with the wonton appetizer (AMAZING!) My wife had a fantastic Greek salad and I had the Highway 4 burger which was also delicious! Good friendly service with a small town feel. I would recommend eating here.

Super variety for people of all tastes. We went with seafood chowder and seafood linguine. Both were full of seafood and very filling. We went early on a weekday but this place got busy quickly.

Service is fast. We were really hungry when we got to the restaurant at 7:20 pm on a Wednesday evening during spring break. Waited a little for a table and food came quickly which we appreciated. Our server was cleaning up another table and took...a call for an order or reservation at the same time. I enjoyed the fish and chips. My father in law had the Howlers burger, he said the beef patty didn't taste that good. My husband said that the elk burger was just ok as well. Other reviewers really enjoyed the burgers though.More

We came here with friends for lunch and had very good food at reasonable prices. I decided to try the elk burger with a gluten free bun and yam fries. It was very good and the yam fries were the best I had ever tasted....Not soggy but crisp. My husband had the Clam Bowl that he was very happy with. Our server Amie was very nice and friendly. Our only complaint was that the restaurant was very chilly. It is a large restaurant with a large area to heat. They should put in some space heaters. There are pinball games and pool tables to entertain you. Also a dance floor and band area for weekend evenings I guess. You could tell how good the restaurant was by all the cars parked outside it.More

This restaurant has amazing food and my 6 year old boy loved it. There was a chalkboard and he got to colour all over it. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere.

Nice wings. Good service. Typical Ucluelet vibe. Not sure about games etc. Spotless washroom which always says a lot in my opinion.

We don’t know which is better, the food or service. Both are excellent. You’re made to feel comfortable and you aren’t rushed. Children are welcomed and there are games for them to play. Now to the food. We’ve been there a few times and have...really enjoyed everything we’ve ordered. Everything is fresh and they have good specials. This is one place you don’t want to miss. We’ll be back!More

We were really excited to try this place to go bowling and go to the arcade but both were basically closed off without any way of knowing before hand. We got seated and it seems like we never got assigned a server because the only...person who served said she was just floating. So we didn't get drink refills, it took forever to get our order taken, the tables that sat down after us were done eating and gone before we even got our food. No one brought us our bill so we had get to pay a the front. when we tried to flag down servers they would walk right past us and ignore us. The food we got was good but the service ruined our experienceMore

Jessica the weitress... turned off the computer game on my 8 years old boy while he was playing... and said on a very rude tone " DON'T TURN THE GAME BACK ON"... Wow...really??? After going back and forth to Victoria for some paperwork...I was stopped...at the construction site on the road for 30 min. At 8:30 pm... My kids and husband checked on this restaurant that it would be open until 10 pm. They wanted to go all day...waiting for me..we finally made it.. but we arrived at 9:30 pm. 1. We were not allowed to sit because at this time was just take out 2. We ordered and asked Jessica to please charge us 50c extra so she can share 2 coins with the kids to use the equipment to play while waiting for the food... She placed the order...and once the machine opened with all the coins..she closed it back and said "we can not give change..and we are turning off the equipment now"... She went to the back where other kids were playing computers...some people playing pool table..some people still eating/drinking at their tables....but she turned off the computers not in used... We were waiting for the food...the kids asking for a coin...we found a 2$... I went to the front and this boy there...I told him that many people were still eating and playing..to please change the coin and turn on the computer for the kids to play.. it wasn't 10 pm yet... He did. He gave us many coins...and turned on one computer. Kids would have turns... My 8 years old put his coin...was very excited...started to play .. When Jessica came with attitude .. disconnected the equipment and very rude stated "DO NOT TURN THE EQUIPMENT BACK ON!" WHICH KIND OF HUMAN BEING DOES THIS??? TOO RUDE...SHOCKING. I did report this to management. But sincerely... If you don't like your job... Don't ruin the enjoyment of the ones going to get food and have fun with kids during vacations...during working hours!!! The restaurant is open until 10 pm!!!. Until then...we should be allowed to use the games... And have a nice waiting time... Awful service.More

the food is of mean quality, the service is slow and bad. It is the realm of confusion they are badly organized. Very few choices on the menu, either main dishes either desserts. The waiters are not welcoming and are always overbusy.
