I've been to Milton Street pub about 10 times and it has always shown itself to be a fantastic place. It has a boat load of character, the food is some of the best in Nanaimo and all the staff are lovely. If you ever go and there is a hotdog/sausage special, get it! Get 2 as a matter of fact. Fatten yourself up on the deliciousness. If it's not on special anything else off the menu is still amazing. Reuben! Caprese! Salad! All amazing. I tip my hat to you ladies and gentlemen! Thanks for all the great eats and hospitality!

As a transplant from Toronto and Vancouver to the island I was looking for a great place to grab some chicken wings. Simple food that while standard on many menus they are not easy to do well. Discovered Milton Street Public House online from the reviews and went to check it out with my son. Great pub located in an old house with a ton of charm. Service was top notch but the food took centre stage. I had the traditional Hot and my son had the Korean wings. Both came with garlic Parmesan fries. Outstanding wings. Wing fans will tell you we are often disappointed but not here. Fantastic flavour and texture and I wanted to have another order. Fries are delicious and come with a spicy aioli. We now have a regular place to go for great wings.

This place is unbelievably good!!! The calamari leaves me at a loss for words. It melts in your mouth! Lightly breaded with a wonderfully delicate aioli sauce to dip if you choose. I had the Jalapeño burger and I cannot recommend it enough! Sooo good!! I had to let my son finish it as I didn’t want any negative thoughts (ugh, I ate too much) to be attached to this experience. Truly amazing!!
This restaurant was a shocker. It doesn’t look like munch from the outside, but once you step in you are greeted with a very quaint feeling along with a friendly atmosphere. The food was amazing. The calamari was mind blowing melt in your mouth, something I had never had with calamari before. The carbonara and the Jalapeño burger were both amazing. The service was very friendly and positive and I will for sure be returning. Some of the best food I’ve had in recent years.

Worth the wait! We stopped in here on our way to catch a ferry. We had over an hour and thought we had lots of time to order a salad with chicken. Unfortunately, after a a bit of a wait our salads had not arrived and we had to get going. The very friendly waiter packed up our salads and off we went. We sat in our car and had one of the best Caesar kale chicken salads we'd ever had. The chicken was amazingly tender and flavourful and the salad was perfectly dressed with a deliciously tangy dressing. It was so worth the wait and we agreed that we would stop in the next time we are in Nanaimo for the chicken dinner. The place has a warm, friendly vibe and our waiter was very accommodating. In hind sight, we should have let him know we were on a slightly tight schedule and he probably would have suggested we order something else. But I'm glad things worked out as they did because no exaggeration, it was the best Kale chicken Caesar salad I've ever had and well worth the wait!!

It's located in a house on a residential street. We were a bit hesitant to open the door in case Google was wrong and we would end up just walking into somebody's home lolThe server was very friendly and the food was great. Bonus points for being open on Easter Sunday. Thank you!
Showed up to this place, heard it was good. Did not see a “please wait to be seated” sign so, we seated ourselves at an open table which mind you had no reservation sign like most restaurants usually do if the table is reserved. Proceeded to wait 10 minutes before even being acknowledged by a server and then asked if we had reservations which we did not, and they said that we can then sit at the bar which we did not want to do as a personal preference and then they offered us the wait list also not what we wanted to do so we left.Honestly need better organization and customer service.

The owners and staff are totally on top of their game. Great food drink and laughter. Go there you will see us there at least twice a week. Took my friends from Whitehorse there last night Feb 24 2024 and they are still saying today how good it was. We had their Lamb and it was done perfect. Tks to all and we all will be

Old turn of century house turned into a public house pub type restaurant. There were 3 of us and we each tried something different, Veggie flat bread pizza, Cabrese toast sandwich & Falafel wrap.On average meals will cost you $20, would definately try them again.

We popped in for an unplanned Valentine's dinner. Even though we did not have a reservation, they still found a great seat for us. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff.Without exaggeration, the Jalepeno Burger was the tastiest burger I have ever had. It was a perfection of flavour and subtle heat.Quaint, cozy and unique atmosphere.We will be back!Highly recommended.
