Restaurants in Campbell River

“Excellent food, from the Tapsalog to the Soup and sandwich combo. Definitely a good place to eat. We like to support the local small businesses whenever we travel, and this was a great choice. Nice place to eat. We would definitely return when we come back.”

“Just go! It's fantastic!!! I went somewhere else for lunch when I went, and I didn't like it, so I was feeling ripped off. I decided I needed something sweet to make up for it. I do not regret this decision. Best cakes ever! I got the tiramisu cheese cake and my friend got the Earl Grey Mandarin Orange cake. We were in heaven. I seriously am considering selling my soul to Sarah in exchange for free cake forever. Pls go check out her lil shop”

“Local review - Excellent service, authentic, kind, generous owner. Unique location right on the water. Coffee is solid, organic and roasted in small batches. Stop in and spend some money. Support local!”

“Best place for a beer and a bite in Campbell River. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and just a genuinely awesome place to relax and unwind. Family and dog friendly too!!!”

“We pulled in unexpectedly on our way home to comox from a hike. We were just going to grab a coffee but when we saw the menu we were pleasantly surprised especially when we saw the small pamphlet selling Korean take out with the most delicious looking menu! The food did not disappoint from the Korean bowls that were not overpowered spicy sauce and were perfectly balanced flavours and very fresh ingredients. The cheese cake was to die for and the plum tea was so refreshing and unique for me.As I was eating the food, I was too curious to know the story behind the man who prepared it because I knew there was something special there. Jaegseun (Jackson) Yoo told me that his grandfather had escaped northern Korea during the war and that his family had to use Korean cuisine as their only means to survive and make a living in China! I didn’t get a chance to ask much more about his story because he was getting busy and was working the place alone but I will definitely be back to try some of the other delicious looking items in the menu!I hope that Jaegseun has much success in Campbell river and I’d love to see him up his business with some more signage to let people know he sells bubble tea and Korean cuisine and maybe a chance to renovate to make the dine in experience even more cozy with some unique and personalized style and character ? that would bring the whole place together in the most artful way!Vegetarian options: Absolutely delicious and full of subtle yet fresh and rich flavour”

“The croissants and drinks are delicious, service is excellent and friendly, and it is a quiet, comfortable place to sit and indulge! Did I mention the perfection of croissants? The only problem is it’s hard to choose and limit yourself to just 1 or 2.”

“Mikis has been a sushi staple to the Campbell River area for quite some time now! It is very family friendly. I have a teenage daughter who has been going to Mikis for quite some time now. It's a place her and her friends have felt comfortable going to for a long time, and they've never received poor quality service or refused service because of their age. It is now a place that she takes family out to, her grandpa included, for dinners and such. I personally am very picky when it comes to sushi, and will rarely eat it. However I will eat Mikis everytime! I am excited to try their western breakfast in the future!!”

“If there’s anything you do while in Campbell River, GO FOR SUSHI HERE.Everything was fresh, flavourful and huge portions! We had 6 different rolls, nigiri, tempura, miso, chicken Katsu and a bento box!I’ve eaten sushi all over this island, and this is the very best!!”

“I just tried the new veggie bite street tacos ! ? they were really good! They left off the pineapple BBQ sauce because im not into BBQ sauce but the falafel bites go so good with the burrito sauce! And with soft ? corn tortillas they were both vegetarian and gluten free!”

“The fish & chips and deep fried pickles here are delicious, fresh and not overly greasy.Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is located on a water dock, the only access is down one of the two ramps and along the dock.”

“Great breakfast/ brunch/ lunch menu. Visiting from out of town and tried it on a whim as we didn’t want to go to a chain restaurant. We had the pork schnitzel and were pleasantly surprised to find it was actually a freshly made schnitzel, not a pre-made frozen one like you find almost everywhere. We also had the Bannock Benedict, a super cool twist on the classic version with awesome hollandaise. Really friendly staff, fast and fresh and delicious.”

“I went here with good friends for lunch the other day and when we went to leave my Mum couldn't put any weight on her leg. I asked the staff if we could leave via the emergency exit on the patio. Right away the older gentleman there asked what was wrong and when I explained he said no problem. Came out to make sure my Mum was ok and if he or they could do anything. When i went to get the vehicle they had gotten a bar stool and were able to sit her on it. Between the gentleman and two other staff and my friend they carried Mum safely to the truck helped her in and the older gentleman even offered to personally bring her a meal if she was 'stuck' at the ER for long, if we went there. The staff from the time we arrived were friendly and fun and the food was wonderful. Get the Maui Shrimp!!!! My Mum and i can not thank them enough for their wonderfully kind service. I spent nearly 30yrs as a Manager in the industry in Victoria and if it was there I would DEFINITLY recommend for the Victoria Hospitality Award, (that i personally got in 1999) for service above and beyond. Thank you so much to all of you there that day. Trust me.. we'll be back”

“Tried my first take out tonight, vermicelli lemon grass chicken, with spring rolls, called in early as I was travelling up from Courtenay, was ready and waiting when I arrived. When I got home, the scent that had filled my car, delivered in taste as wellGood service, good pricing and Very Good food!”

“We had takeout from BaBa Gannouj for the first time after hearing my parents rave reviews - oh my goodness, it was so good!!! We will be stopping there every time we’re in Campbell River. Really friendly customer service. Thank you, BaBa Gannouj!! ❤️”

“Best cheesecake I've ever tasted!! I can't wait to try the rest of the flavours!! It's super creamy and rich but also light some how. I can't wait to eat more. I'll be ”

“We did the hotpot experience at Beijing House and it was delicious! You need to reserve in advance but it was well worth it. Cooking food at the table was a cool experience. The service was quick and the prices more than fair. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.”

“Just recently started going here, other places in town have gotten to expensive. I wish I would have started eatting here sooner. Delicious food. Made by lovely friendly people. The restaurant feels comfy and welcoming and you get great value for what you spend here.Would highly reccomend trying.”

“Food is good, sauce was tasty, they sell a a nice focaccia. Next I’ll try the gelato. They got a lot of flavors. I think it’s family operated which is also cute. They counter the coldness of takeout only post restrictions by having it be a little Italian store too. So you can grab some to go’s to cook in oven later or some raw materials and make your own.”

“On a recent trip we had a chance to visit. Excellent food & service. The tacos & burritos were very well done. Great flavours & presentation. Cool spot.”

“Staff really have great personalities, creating a fun atmosphere! Really good food.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu that doubled up as a coloring page. Staff were really thoughtful and accommodating”

“We had a fantastic dinner at Moxie's tonight while staying in Campbell River. The food tasted great and the portions were plentiful. My wife is a vegetarian and she wasn't disappointed with the selection. Thanks for the great service and tasty food ?”

“We had take out last night. 6 dishes for $85. Good portions. Good quality. The chicken chow mien needs a bit of improvement. Bbq pork fried rice was great. Best wok Stir fry was loaded. All in all its our new go to Chinese take out.”

“Very good service. Pleasant atmosphere but not a fan of the DJ music. Good menu selection and reasonable prices. Note to Salt Bae in the kitchen: Food was good but four orders of seasoned fries were way too salty.”

“Vancouver Island Spyder Ryders Ryde the Rock 2022 event 19-21 Aug 2022 in Port Alberni had an organized ryde to Mt Washington on Saturday and we had a scheduled lunch stop here, I had highly recommended the food here to the group in our schedule of events. 58 folks arrived at noon and Chloe put us all in one section. As expected, tons of food selections, quickly thru the buffet line, everyone enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend this place. Consistently great buffet choices, great staff and as you can see from photos... lots of parking.”

“VEGAN food made with care in an old school diner. Seriously amazing vegan options for breakfast lunch or dinner. Don’t judge this place from the outside because it’s super clean and nostalgic inside. Great service, great atmosphere and great food. Vegans have an awesome option when in Campbell River. Highly recommend. Arrive early as it fills up quickly and you will be waiting.Dietary restrictions: Vegan”

“Great food, great service, staff was friendly and quick. Highly recommend the mini egg cheese cake and the walnut sausage pizza.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options, the walnut sausage pizza was excellent, highly recommended.”

“Love this place. Great food. I only gave 4 stars for service because it gets very busy. It Is so popular with the locals and it is seasonal, so there is often a wait. Unfortunately this is not something they can easily control. I just make sure I allow time to accommodate the wait times. Great West Coast vibe”

“We’ve always dined in but today I did my first take away order. It was immaculate. How on earth they managed to still have my eggs medium on take away I’ll never know. Highly recommend, great taste, lovely menu!”

“Love the selection they carry, my favorites have been the stuffed croissants, the butter chicken calzone and the scones. They are a great bakery that can't be skipped!”

“This place is as good as most Indian restaurants in Surrey. There are not many great restaurants in CR but this is one of them. One of the best Indian restaurants on the Island and definitely a treat.The food is amazing here and everything I tried is just delicious. Naan bread, samosa, curries, rice dishes and mango lassie. The service is very nice and attentive which is way better than you get in Surrey. The restaurant decor and atmosphere is solid and feels cosy. I definitely recommend it if you are in the area!”

“We had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and the food was incredibly authentic and delicious. The prices were reasonable for the quality and taste of the dishes. Moreover, the ambiance was perfect, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. An added bonus was the easy parking, making the overall experience even more convenient. I'll definitely be visiting this place more often!Parking: In front of the restaurant.”

“This was my first time in this new location. The tea I ordered was perfect but the service was less than stellar. If someone asks how you are doing, one should respond with something. I wouldn't mind if you told me your day was terrible, but to stand blankly and not say anything is rude and bogus, man.I mean I don't want to be nitpicky but since this is the point of a review, I won't feel too bad. Tea was good though!”

“This is by far the best sushi in Campbell River! Food is fresh and prepared with great care by a seasoned Japanese chef. I hear he has 30 years experience.One thing though, is make sure you get a reservation as they are a small business with only a few staff, and do tend to get a lot of takeout orders. We popped in around 5:30 PM on a Friday evening and they courteously let us in, but we realized it would’ve worked better for them if we had given them some advance notice.Enjoy!Vegetarian options: Vegetable roll”

“I've been here twice now while visiting for business from out of town and this place is more than just decent.On my first visit, I had just a regular coffee and it was great. It had all of the qualities of a coffee place that knows how to properly clean their equipment and uses fresh beans and filtered water.On my second visit, I decided to try the hot apple cider and I was blown away. It is more than just delicious. It's perfect!I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a soothing hot drink.”

“Amazing authentic guangdong/Cantonese Chinese food! I love this place! Portions are huge. Things are not too salty or oily. They are currently only doing take-out because of lack of staff (which is understandable). The owner is super kind and always so hardworking. The place is clean and inviting. I will definitely be coming back lots.I reccomend the black bean beef noodles, deep fried won tons, and bean sprout beef noodles.”

“The best fish & chips I have eaten. The cod was plentiful and cooked to perfection.The halibut is also outstanding.The staff at Seabreeze is excellent.If you are lucky enough to be there on a day when they have chowder, treat yourself - Superb.”

“First time eating here and I thought the food was very delicious. The gentleman whose served us was very polite, friendly and efficient for how busy the place was. Definitely recommend this place.”

“Got three xl pizzas, you can tell when you take the box these things are heavy and have some heft. The same can’t be said for most other places around town. Upon first glance I was disappointed about the amount of cheese: this was an illusion. Pizza pizza puts all the cheese directly on top of the sauce and the toppings go on after, I found out later you can request the cheese on top while ordering. Unbelievable value and it’s officially our go to pizza place in town. The chicken bruschetta pizza is outrageous. Best pizza I have ever eaten. May the owners of this establishment prosper in perpetuity so that I never have to be disappointed in my takeout pizza again.Parking: It’s the Tyee plaza and there are parking spaces parallel directly in front of the store.”

“While this is a sushi takeout bar within Superstore, it’s nevertheless prepared by Japanese staff trained in the art of sushi making. The staff there currently brings many years of experience in creating these authentic and tasty foods. Well worth your $$ imo!!”

“We love this A&W, our fav in town as the food is always so fresh.Beware tho! There is an older lady with a Northern English accent that works there and has never gotten our order rightSo if she doesn’t serve you you will be ”

“Great, clean place. Reliably good coffee however service can be really slow.They were very good on getting mobile orders completed but were slow moving on in-house orders and almost crawling at the drive-thru. They also forgot one of my items on an order but they were quick to correct.Nice atmosphere and easy to access location.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kids in the store, coming in solo or with parents. Staff are friendly and approachable.Parking: Quite a few number of spots, sometimes interferes with drive-thru causing slight traffic.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible with more than one disabled-parking space.”

“For a fast food joint, this is one of the best.Parking: Tonnes of free parkingKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible via wheelchair ramp.”

“Visiting from out of town I popped into this Tim Hortons to get a coffee and treated myself to two sour cream Tim Bits. OMG, melt in your mouth good…wished I got ten. Ordered the same two Tim Bits in my home town; sickly sweet and not fresh. Next visit to Campbell River, I went back to Tim Hortons Merecroft Village mall, had two sour cream Tim Bits, and again, perfection. I told Katie, who served me, how I specifically stopped at this Tim Hortons hoping it wasn’t just a fluke. She said, no fluke, that’s Lance, he insists on excellence in his baking. Well, it shows!!!Thank you so much for insisting on excellence. The food is excellent, the store is clean and the staff are friendly. It says 5 out of 5 but I say 10 out of 10!!”

“Called ahead two large takeout orders. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was great and everything was ready for the set time. They even bagged everything for easy take out. Staff in store were very helpful and kind. 10/10 experience!!”

“Food is decent, prices are alright but the points help. The amount of times they screw up my order in the drive through is crazy so they get one less star.Vegetarian options: They need more vegetarian options.”

“You can rely on White Spot for good food for the whole family. They have become quite slow recently. The last few times we've been in we have had to wait much too long for our food.”

“I went through the drive thru with my son and ended up waiting more than ten minutes around the side. We drove back through the drive thru to see if our order was forgotten, but turned out that someone else went in and took our order. The drive thru person and manager were really kind to quickly get another order ready for us with upgrades and an extra meal. Thank you!!”

“The team working at 9pm on Family day was friendly and order was hot and correct. Had to leave this review because of the other reviews that were so horrible. Especially the ones commenting on no one speaking English. So rude. I sure appreciated these workers being one of the only places open late on Family day for a warm meal as an out of town guest to Campbell River.”

“In Campbell River for a few days for family business. BCC was close by our Airbnb. REALLY happy we stopped in! Unpretentious decor, friendly service, and good food. Will be back!”

“I consider myself to be a connoisseur of Apple Fritters, having sampled the vast majority of opportunities in Western Canada. These are the best. Hands down. Not too sweet or greasy, light, large (bigger than my hand), flavourful and cinnamon to apple is pretty close to perfect (I prefer stronger cinnamon but that's for me).Wheelchair accessibility: Level entrance, no auto door though.”

“We love this place. Reasonably priced, amazing food!Spent about $50 and had 2x meals for 3 people.Vegan so we had vegetable fried rice & vegetables with black bean sauce. Phenomenal.Only recommendation would be to bring back this delicious tofu dish they had previously ?”

“Nice change from normal fast food chains . Healthier choices and the frozen yogurt desserts are delicious! Always seem to have enough staff on although if it's busy it still requires a bit of a wait but worth it to have so many personal choices ?”

“This place is awesome. Our chef made us fresh, delicious sushi in front of us while we chatted. He is clearly passionate about his photography and was keen to show us some of his shots. The tuna steak roll was 10/10. We’ll make sure to come back here next time we’re in Campbell River.”

“Knowledgable friendly staff, who are efficient and can get you on a path to a healthy lifestyle. Community oriented. Super clean store, with all Covid requirements in place.”

“one of the best places to eat. I worked here awhile ago and absolutely loved the staff and the place as a whole. the food has always been amazing. miss you gals.”

“They had a great breakfast with everything perfect. The staff were polite and friendly. Also, there weren't any weird or homeless people in the dining room area. Just polite and safe old folks.”

“3 of us decided to skip pita pit today and went into the store for some lunch. We were then told that most of what we wanted to order wasn't available. No grilled cheese, no tuna, no godfather, etc etc. We finally gave up trying to order anything and left. There's so many bakeries in town to get bread. You're literally a sandwich shop. 60+ bucks in food orders walked out the door today. Likely won't bother trying again.”

“AMAZING pizza. I’ve heard lots of great things about your pizza but first time I’ve tried it. So glad I did. I’ll order from here before anywhere else from now on. Thank you”

“High quality delicious options available. Scrumptious sauces to add to deep fried spring rolls, samosas, sarachas/salad rolls and plenty vegetarian options. A cozy family-owned business with a friendly owner.Vegetarian options: Plenty available”

“Ordered the famous chicken burger with fries and wasn't disappointed! Probably some of the best chicken and fries I had in a while.Great batter and the fries were just the right amount of crispy.Will stop by again in the future.”

“Friends Stateside were bragging up this pretzel pizza and I had to give it a try.Well, this pizza was DELICIOUS.I called the order in, because I wanted to alter things a bit and the girl on the phone was very polite and patient.Sadly, they did lose our order, making it necessary for two trips to Merecroft to pick it up in our lovely CR traffic, but, I didn't have to do it, so it's no skin off.I sent the crabby husband instead.Once home with the pizza ( he had the pepperoni pizza ) well, he loved it. So, grumpiness aside ... the pizza was really good. I would recommend to anyone. And hey... to the staff at the Merecroft pizza place.. don't sweat it, the crabby husband is usually crabby.... it was nothing new. LOL”

“Amazing food and good service. Don't let the bad reviews fool you!! I never had an issue with this place ?Parking: Nice and easy and it's right out front!!Kid-friendliness: Yes very safe place for kidsWheelchair accessibility: No automatic doors maybe have those installed otherwise it's great”

“Came at 10:20 pm on august 2nd. Being that late I felt bad for ordering a few meals with my friends but the staff was so nice and the burgers so well crafted. Honestly whoever was working tonight deserves a raise, seriously amazing night employees.”

“Best cheesecake I've ever tasted!! I can't wait to try the rest of the flavours!! It's super creamy and rich but also light some how. I can't wait to eat more. I'll be ”

“This place is mainly for takeout. It's one of the best asian restaurants in town. Heck maybe even of all restaurants in town. It's expensive but compared to what? You get what you pay for I reckon. Decent amount of protien included. When I want to spend money on take out this place is at the top of the ”

“Fuel up cafe is a great spot for breakfast and lunch. Plus they have a selection of tea and baked goods …and beer, coffee and Baileys, or Caesars, etc. if you like. The staff are super friendly, and the food is high quality, fresh ingredients.We have started going there regularly and there’s never a lineup! Campbell River’s undiscovered gem.Parking: 2 hours freeKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome. It’s a friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s right inside the airport so easy for wheelchairs”

“The Crooked Spoon recently made me a custom cake for my Dad’s birthday. The attention to detail was incredible, and my Dad ADORED his Sasquatch themed birthday cake. They even delivered it right to our house. I will most definitely be ordering more cakes!”

“Whenever we go to Campbell River the Riotide is a must do. The food, service & atmosphere is fantastic. They have a great selection of craft beers to go along with "The Best" Clubhouse I have ever had - real chicken, perfect bacon and a mound of delicious fries. My wife had the beef dip this time it was to die for.”

“VEGAN food made with care in an old school diner. Seriously amazing vegan options for breakfast lunch or dinner.

“My family went out for lunch after church, 7 of us. We were not expecting a lot, just a nice pave to gather and eat. Everyone got what they wanted. It was good, we ate it all and all of it was a little over $100 for 7 lunches. I think we would do this again.”
