Had the cheeseburger and fries with a side of gravy. Loved that the patties came from the butcher shop, courtenay. Great service.

One of the best ambiences i have ever seen. Retro type and the service is great. More than all of these, i liked their - “get straight to the point” attitude 😜

Basic surroundings but probably one of the best breakfasts I have ever had, with lovely staff. If I had been able I would have had two meals as there were a few combinations I wanted to try 😂

The food is delicious. The atmosphere makes you feel like your in a proper west coast Cafe. Meals are on the more expensive side though. Service is great and waitresses take good care of you.

The cafe was recommended by a friend… from the outside, you may not realize that there is a cafe in between the shops not related to food at all. It is a very retro cafe with decor in the 60’s vibe. Service was good & attentive. For a cafe, they had a huge menu
Portions were huge, we enjoyed the meal tremendously. My hubby ordered the fish & chips, the fish was actually rock cod, something that is rarely used for fish & chips. It was very good, fish was fresh & firm, batter was light & crispy. He also had a clam chowder, it was loaded with clams.
I ordered the stay afloat on a boat.
If you happen to be in Campbell River, I highly recommend you check them out!

Great food, but a bit on the pricey side! $48 for one coffee and two breakfasts of eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast.
