“We were up in Duncan for the day and decided to stop on here for dinner. It’s a fantastic pub with a great menu and great prices. The place was PACKED but we had no problem finding a seat. They also all dogs on the deck (great in the summer for sure). Food was VERY reasonably priced (unlike pubs in Victoria) so we opted for an appt and two main courses. They also run drink specials every night! Such a great place that this will likely be our stop in when passing through Duncan.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The Duncan location has made major customer service improvements. The staff is ever-so-friendly. Every child in the restaurant was given a candy sucker. There was a special needs customer who complained over the ice-coated glass mugs, and they cleaned it for her without any hassle or trouble. I just want to highlight the staff on this particular visit. They seem to be doing well after this pandemic.”
“I have a son with multiple severe food allergies so we are a bit of a pain when we order food from restaurants. I cannot say enough good things about the Duncan White Spot. They are always SO accommodating with finding food options that are safe for my son. Many (if not all) of their staff are familiar with how carefully food allergies need to be handled. As a parent of a child with allergies, it is a HUGE relief to find a place that you know your child can eat at safely. This White Spot has, and will continue to be, our go to place when we want too eat out as a family.”
“We had part of our daughter's birthday celebrations at Duncan DQ. The team went above and beyond, served us 10 meals that were hot and all correct, they decorated the cake (on the spot) and served it with candles and all staff joined in singing HBD. Overall an amazing experience by the whole crew. Thank you. Will definitely recommend and be back.”
“It's starbucks, a wide selection of sugary drinks and treats. The double smoke bacon sandwich is extraordinary and the white chocolate mocha is a legend. A bit on the pricey side but hard to complain when a frozen oven heated sandwich tastes better, than a sandwich you are likely to get at a restaurant, especially on Vancouver Island. Staff are always great and efficient and you're never more than 5 minutes away from a location! One bad note, bathroom cleanliness continues to plague the restaurant chain as a whole. Still, a minor issue in my opinion.”
“We went through the drive-thru and Lance was AMAZING! He was upbeat and positive and energetic! You don't often get that kind of service through a drive-thru but his positive attitude really came through! Best customer service experience i've had in drive-thru. And food was amazing :)”
“Beverly Tim Hortons has Friendly staff,great way to meet new people in the community or get together with you’re friends,family or boyfriend ?Orders move pretty quickly even if not enough staff or under pressure,my orders may not be 100%accurate all the time but that’s what builds our community stronger sticking together like a yummy doughnut ? that’s what makes timhortons a great place for all of our moods haha??Vegetarian options: So many food items you can ask without the meat or sausage lots of soups or bagels or buns just add veggies ? add veggiesDietary restrictions: Lots of drinks you can get made black without cream and sugar or get a sugar free vanilla shot or Splenda if you’re diabetic ?Parking: It’s free parking doesn’t get better than that❤️Lots of parking could use more space for a double lane drive thru or some more parking for bigger semi trucks quite often their parked on the highway yikes?Kid-friendliness: Available high chairs timbits or doughnuts a must upon entry it solves all problems and makes you’re kiddos happy to visit ?Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs located at this location”
“Might be a bit biased because we came in pretty late. The place is almost empty, food is fresh and delicious and the place was clean.Little bit of a maintenance problem but the lightbulb where we're sitting turned off while we were there lol we made fun of it along the way home.”
“Wonderful GF products with amazing customer service from the owner Dale !! She was so helpful when my husband was diagnosed Celiac . He wouldn’t survive lunchtime without her !!”

“Not gonna lie, this is the BEST subway in Duncan. Friendly staff, clean, well kept, organized. I've been to many different subways in Duncan and most of them each have something off about them like rude staff and dirtiness. But this subway is different. The staff always greet us with a smile and are SUPER kind and organized. The sandwiches and wraps are super delicious whether they are custom made or straight from the menu they never upset me. They have very good seating outside and inside. the inside has an area big enough for 6 people. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!Vegetarian options: You can order a vegetarian option off their menu like the Mozzarella Bella or customize your own.Parking: Lots of parking spots, not crowded, clean and safeKid-friendliness: Very kind to children, Great for family's.”
“Best sushi and tempura! It’s all excellent but that’s what I like to eat the most. Bento box is hands down the best bang for your buck. They make slushy drinks!!! Fun desserts. Check it out!”
“What a great place! 4 of us were recommended to this place for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. The best Ahi Tuna Cobb salad ever! Scottish stew, chicken and broccoli, and seafood chowder all excellent. Great and friendly staff - we almost went back again for dinner. Well done!”
“Always great food and great service ! Japan town has been my family's go to for quite a rew years. .”

“I usually go to Mucho Burrito but I was driving through Duncan and found this restaurant. The food was way better than Mucho burrito and a little bit cheaper.The sizes are very big and I could barely finish a large (and I am a big eater). I only gave three stars for service and atmosphere because it was hard to understand the accent of the workers and the restaurant itself was not very interesting or comfortable.”
“Love all,of the food, amazing miso (not true of every restaurant), fresh sushi, tasty bento boxes, I can honestly say I’ve not been unhappy with anything they’ve prepared for me. But, if I was to tell you my favourite things the first would be the “Monkey Brains” we recently tried. We’ve had this dish in other restaurants and really thought we’d found the best version elsewhere...but we were wrong! Sushi House Monkey Brains are THE best! The spicy chopped scallop roll is a must, and if you like Pho, their soups are delectable. I recently ordered take out Pho and was so impressed when I realized that the broth was very obviously homemade and it was without a doubt the best Pho I’ve ever had. Thank you Sushi House, you’re our go to place!”
“Great people, and incredible menu! one of the best ceasers I've ever had c: beef dip was unreal and so was the crab dip ?? definitely recommend this place ?”
“I’ve been a customer at OJ’s for a couple years now and everytime I go there Nicole is a pleasure, she calls me by my first name, always pleasant to deal with and has a positive attitude!! I highly recommend OJ’s and especially Nicole!!”
“We order from here almost weekly. The service is always friendly and the food is delicious. Pizza pasta nachos chicken wings garlic bread and fajitas were all amazing. I would recommend to anybody wanting quality food and friendly services. Easily feeds my large family.Dietary restrictions: They have options for those with gluten allergies and dairy issues. Amazing”
“I always enjoy my food from Phad Thai. Service attitude is great, especially for an Asian style restaurant in our area. They have gotten my order wrong before, but it’s rare… worth checking before you leave if you do takeout. Large portions! I go every month or two and can definitely recommend!”

“Great pizzas, ordered 4 and they were as ordered. Think the young, very friendly staff member, Titan maybe, was very helpful as he carried the four pizzas to my car as I walk with a cane. The leftover pizzas tasted great warmed up the next day. I would definitely recommend. I also had insulated Panago pizza carriers which the staff had never seen, recommend they sell these again.”

He found everything we needed to have the event in her garden, including the tent and lighting! The food was excellent, totally delicious, and we had a constant stream of compliments. I cannot recommend Azam highly enough.”
