Haida Way Restaurant

A clean, retro diner with good service. I tried the chicken curry as it had such great reviews (half portion was big enough for me, a medium-sized woman). It was breaded chicken strips on rice with brown curry sauce poured over the top. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t particularly good either. Definitely disappointing given the raving reviews. My partner had spaghetti in meat & tomato sauce which was OK. Both came with garlic toast.
Portions were a decent size and we did finish our food.
The average age in there was around 65 or so. Perhaps it’s very safe and comforting food for people who aren’t very adventurous. It’s almost a gem but the food didn’t quite make it for me.

Don't eat the clam chowder it is the worst we have ever eaten. A can of campbell's is far superior

Will not be going back. My bun for my burger was burnt plus a black curly hair found on my plate right when the waitress put it on the table. “oh” was her response. My son’s order was incorrect. When I received my new burger it was made different than the first burger I had with missing ingredients and added ones. I tried to get her attention but 10mins past with not even a glance over to see if we were doing ok. Forgot to bring water and when she came at the end we mentioned all this to her as she rolled her eyes. Received the bill and no discount for all the mistakes including the hair on my plate and not even an apology! $85 for a breakfast, sandwich and two burgers! Will NOT go back!

Haida way has a rustic charm and friendly staff. Our server was timely and cheerful. We had the beef dip and stir-fry. Mine (the beef dip) had a fresh bun and just the right amount of beef. The fries were crisp with a perfect crunch on the outside. The dip was not as dark colored as I am used to seeing but had good flavor. The color threw me off thinking it was watered down but had great taste. The stir fry was so yummy my wife cleaned the whole plate with just the right mix of veggies. (some just fill the plate with bell peppers, this was not the case here). All in all I Would recomend the place. The table tops could use a refresh. Enjoyed the food and service!

The Haida Way has a truck stop kind of feel to it. Simple decor, great food, great service. The basics can be so refreshing in a world of neon signs and food delivery. It hasn't changed at all in the 35 years I've been going there, and that's a good thing.. In fact the same hostess that has served 5 generations of my family still works there. And if you should know anything about the Haida Way it's this: the curried chicken is famous from one tip of this island to the other. I regularly hear people talk about driving hours just to sit and have the curried chicken. In fact, in all those years, I've never eaten anything else from their menu.. it's that good.

Always tend.to stop here especially when I don't feel like cooking never fails me to get a fish and chip plate even though they have probably the best curry chicken lol my other family members who live in Victoria always ask me to pick up curry to bring down to them so that speaks volumes if you ask me.
