Restaurants in Courtenay

“It is hard to resist buying everything”

“Great food, good atmosphere and awesome staff!”

“Tried it from North Nanaimo for the first time. You’ve gained a new customer!”

“Every time I go here, the owners and the staff are so kind. I've been here at least 5 or 6 times now and have no complaints whatsoever. I know the Pita Pit name is a chain but, the owners and staff make this feel like a cute local shop. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to visit them.”

“We stopped in for lunch and the place was "jumping". Nevertheless, the friendly staff found a great table for us, and our server appeared in no time to take our orders. My wife had the mulligatawny soup, which she found delicious. I ordered the gouda and bacon burger and must say that it's without a doubt the best burger I've had in the Comox Valley. We both really enjoyed our lunch and would have no problem in recommending Rhodos Coffee & Bistro.”

“I love the Atlas ! every time we’ve been the food is absolutely delicious and unique, and the staff are wonderful. Today we went and didn’t realize it was “all breakfast Sunday”. I had my heart set on clam chowder, with only breakfast food I thought it might not be for me but the waitress was so good we decided to stay and I ended up having the best breakfast Huevos rancheros , it was absolutely delicious .. and I also ordered the wrong type of wine.. well the waitress even changed in the wine for me.. really appreciated her .. thank you Atlas cafe and staff !!”

“Really nice ,friendly and helpful staff on the phone when ordering take out, and at pick up. The food was so yum a hour later and warmed up at the time we got to enjoy supper.”

“This place is great and they are always so friendly. I never feel bad going here. They explain everything so your not confused at all. Will return definitely 🙂”

“Highly recommend, had the Pork belly Bennie. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Staff amazing. Wish we had a place like this in Nanaimo A++++”

“I order a pizza today it was probably the best one I have had in a long time. It was extremely fresh the crust was soft with the bottom bottom
being crispy.
When the pizza was delivered it was like it just came out of the oven.
I had steam coming off it. Had to let it cool down some before I could eat it. Thanks for making my pizza craving top notch”

“My Friend Just Ordered Chinese Food And We Were Pleasantly Surprised Will Definitely Be Going Back! Thank You”

“Cool spot, good food, great beer, fun local events”

“Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful cake for our daughter’s wedding. Simple but elegant, and SO delicious, it was perfect in every way! Michele & The Cakebread Team are amazing! Nancy and Chris”

“Last night a group of us had the pleasure of eating here last night and man were we impressed!
Even though they were super busy inside (we were out on the patio) the service was awesome!
Our server was super attentive and efficient!
The portions were huge and the prices were very affordable and most importantly the food was great!
We will definitely be returning!”

“Very good food 🍲 and customer service delicious 🤤 soup I will be back soon.”

“The food is good, and fairly priced. This is not fine dining; it's a golf club dining room. However, the service is usually prompt and professional and we enjoy dining here. BTW, the prime rib special on Friday and Saturday nights is great.”

“Sarah is a very attentive well rounded server! great atmosphere and gooooood beer! we will be back when we come back to the island 😁”

“The chef and his creativity of good food and superb presentation. The ambience and the professionalism of the waiters and waitresses when serving our food specially Jace , he was so pleasant and very attentive to our needs during our dinner. Love your Resto . I will highly recommend it to our family and friends😘”

“Awesome food, very large servings...”

“yummy hot bowl of Miso Ramen delicious!!”

“Great food and friendly staff.”

“Friendly staff every time. Never had to wait too long, great pizza.”

“I had lunch at A&W Canada and chose to dine in. The Chubby Chicken sandwich was delicious and definitely worth recommending! The portion size was good, and the food was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, making it a great spot for a quick meal. The price was reasonable as well, with my meal costing between $10–20 per person. I would definitely visit again for another satisfying meal.”

“Wow, tough crowd on here lately. You need to chill with the harsh judgement.

I'm not a frequent McD's customer but dropped by today. You can't beat the cinnamon swirl and coffee deal for $3.29. There's literally nothing like this available anywhere. I find the McD's coffee to be excellent too. I used to be a Starbucks fan but waaaay too expensive now and too bitter. Give it a try!”

“I enjoy the Wednesday family night with my kids . staff are very helpful with my chaotic children”

“1000% recommend Javier's for service, warmth of interaction, food, atmosphere and feeling like I'm holidaying somewhere warm!”

“Sushi Joes has the BEST sashimi! Try the sushi pizza or salad. If you're not a fan of sushi, try the Bi Bim Bap. It some crackling hot with amazing, tasty, crispy rice on the bottom!🤤”

“Delicious croissants! They are definitely worth a visit. We had their smoked meat and mustard croissants, as well as their pain au chocolat. Very buttery and flavorful.”

“By far THE BEST Mulligatawny Soup I’ve ever had, best in the Comox Valley for sure. This place is amazing. So friendly and fast. All of their soups are delicious and made with love.”

“We make a point of eating here at least once every time we're in Courtenay and have never been disappointed. The chili and cornbread alone are worthy of a detour!”

“Great food, reasonable prices, excellent fast service, super pleasant staff, and the Takoyaki (たこ焼き) was absolutely amazing 👌🥰👍”

“First time customers! Will be back! No preservatives, fresh! Doesn't make you feel bloated! Tastes AMAZING!!!! 5 STARS!”

“Love this place, but... Kids including babies should not be allowed in the bar side for obvious reasons. Come on guys, give us adults some space for peace. Had a 2yr old looking over the booth constantly, now a crying baby, jesus”

“Had an amazing experience with this team, so cheerful, helped out when needed and they always have a smile on their face!!! By far the best time in town!!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!”

“Best food and drinks in all of the Comox Valley.”

“Went today for the first time since it changed ownership. I had always found it only mediocre before. Today was amazing. The server was amazing…polite, friendly, went above and beyond. Our perogies were delicious and it was the best cabbage roll I’ve ever had (apart from my own mother’s! lol and I’m very picky about cabbage rolls). It was my son’s 12th birthday and all he wanted was perogies and this did not disappoint! We will be back and spreading the word. Thank you so much ❤️”

“it was by far the best shnitzel I have ever had. the pineapple sweet and sour was delicious. I came all the way from Langley BC and it was well worth it.I highly recommend that you try it. great food and great people. what more could you ask for.”

“So good, we come from the sushi wasteland of Powell River, just to eat here.”

“I do really enjoy the Beef Noodle Szechuan dish. I order it often. Even at the price it is, for delivery it’s costly but worth it. Not tonight, it’s dry, lacking of sauce and ingredients- $37.17 basically for Skip to deliver it Very dry, no veg, no beef, hard noodles bowl & missing cilantro; however, there is a good amount for bean sprouts/ that’s about it’. 😕 Change in the kitchen?”

“It's a fast food chain so the food is the same as all other A&W's. The difference is the staff. They are kind and courteous and if you go there often enough (like me), they know you by name and sometimes what you ordered the last time they served you. That's pretty good customer service when they deal with hundreds if not thousands of people a day.

If you have a doggie, don't forget to order a 'pup pattie'. It's an unseasoned Pattie available in small, medium and large. Your vet may not thank you but your dog will.”

“fantastic food and value!”

“delicious food, lovely people”

“coffee is grate and you will leave with a smile”

“Love this nook of sweet delight. The cinnamon buns I would sell my diabetic soul for. The people running it are warm and amazing. I really can't say more than go there and support an truly wonderful local business.”

“exceptional staff who love working with the GVL residents”

“Since opening day, at this Courtenay franchise, ALL the staff and management at this establishment have always been friendly, efficient, and courteous. The food has always been very good. Pizza, Boneless wings, bread, etc. I can recommend them without any reservations. I typically order online and have had no issues whatsoever. :)”

“Yummy! I ate 2 churros and forgot to take a picture. Fresh, warm goodness!”

“Don't let the parking or line up deter you. This is the best pizza I've ever had. It is very reasonably priced, loaded with toppings, THICK slices of bacon, fresh mushrooms, just absolutely perfect in every way. Also, possibly the best BLT I've ever had. I can confidently say, that for as long as I live in the valley, I will never get pizza anywhere else.”

“Me and my family have always loved the White Spot burgers and so Triple O's is great for us!
The burgers and milkshakes are consistently delicious, but we're often dissatisfied with the fries. This location does not seem to fry them long enough. They are barely browned and sometimes still firm!
Bottom line is that I’d recommend this drive-thru, but give caution that the fries may be undercooked.”

“Avneet is very friendly and attentive, making breakfast so much more enjoyable.

Wheelchair accessibility: The breakfast room is 100% accessible.”

“First visit in restaurant.... And it was a really love experience, especially for a grab and go style of restaurant.
The staff was SO focused, efficient and friendly. They were INCREDIBLY busy, just order after order after order... And yet they kept it together and were moving so quickly.

The establishment itself was clean and the meals tasted great ?‍♀️ ”

“Super friendly owner she was so nice and helpful with the kids. The food was delicious, and they had a kids menu.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu small but sufficient

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp”

“I love this place. This place is the only reason that I started carrying cash. I come here all the time pretty sure they recognize me by now. It’s authentic and genuine good food, no frill, down to earth, good for your stomach and soul. I wish they would sell frozen made in shop food so I can have it day and night.”

“food is amazing and the staff are so client focused. We are regulars. Thank you for great service”

“Best prices and best service!!”

“Always my fav spot to stop travelling down island! Absolutely delicious, and gorgeous. Also a great excuse to take the old island highway.”

“We were in town from Vancouver and stopped by Boba Island. We ordered a strawberry slush and bubble waffles. The food and drinks were amazing and all the staff were super friendly. We will definitely be back before the end of our trip!”

“The nicest kindest place with the tastiest coffee! We ordered two coffees and a sandwich but left without the sandwich. Totally on us, we were chatting and distracted. When we went back an hour later they replaced it no questions and were so kind about it! Incredible service!”

“Best Ethiopian food I have had since I left Toronto. Chef me loved this.”

“A friend and I recently visited this coffee shop. Highly recommend!! I can not eat gluten, but they had many different options. We were both so impressed. We are already planning our next visit to meet here!!!”

“We got the farmer’s waffle and an iced mocha. The portion of the farmer’s waffle is very generous and comes with a side of salsa and maple syrup. The salsa in particular is a nice touch, it’s a great palate cleanser between savory bites. Very reasonably priced. Also the whipped cream is delicious!”

“This fella in the sandwich shop is like a stealthy ninja of the sub world! Seriously, he whipped up my sub with such blistering speed, it felt like I was witnessing a fast-food magic show. When he applied those tomatoes, it was as if he had a secret superpower—blink and you'd miss it! Despite the whirlwind of action, everything was impeccably arranged; not a single tomato was spilling over, and no rogue toppings were making a bid for freedom. This guy isn’t just a sandwich maker; he’s a true artist of the sub realm. Bravo, my friend—take a bow!”

“Counter at Metrotown Mall Food Court The order taker Simran is a pleasure to deal with! Very pleasant mannerism and clearly does her job well. Love the food and the service is great.🙂 Most people eat out for a pleasant experience and not just to fill their stomachs so an impressive employee like that is important.”

“Where the fun begins! Come on down and check out the activities!”

“A great sushi to go restaurant.

Staff were very friendly and service was prompt

I had the bento box, which had teriyaki chicken (other options available, including yakisoba noodles), 4 pieces of California roll, spring roll and tempura. All were very tasty.

Highly recommended.”

“Had the chipotle tofu main in my burrito, was super impressed. Lots of variety and customisation. Very flavourful burrito. A dairy free cheese option would be good too, and would love clarification on whether any of the salsa are vegan. Only real issue is not being able to swap non vegan items for vegan items. Cheese for roasted vegetables for example is an easy swap and probably more lucrative for the store yet they won’t do it. So instead I will take the cheese on the side and throw away or give to someone rather than allowing the company to save money.”

“Just had the best subway sandwich I ever had, served by a wonderful gentleman who also bought a glass of water to my table. Thank you! Had a bad day and this made me feel a little bit better.”

“Gill is the best! My sandwich was made well, he listened and recommended things to us and went above and beyond to give the best service he could! I would go back to this location specifically because of Gill!”

“Came here the other day around early evening and ordered the El Cruncho with the marinated chicken and the Deluxe Mexi-Fries. Great tasting food and great service in a timely fashion was provided! Will definitely be coming come back next time we in the Comox Valley.”

“Just finished at booster juice! The woman serving us was so kind. She was extremely helpful. She was amazing to the client I was supporting. Helping to take their order in a confidence building way. 10/10 come here if you want the best customer service.”

“Even though you guys had no driver, you went out of your way to deliver to the ER..thank you for feeding us to keep us going!”

“Only went there a few times, but each time was always better than the last”

“Best food and drinks in all of the Comox Valley.”

“Wonderful Food and cheerful service.”

“A perfect wonderful far out lounge to hang out at and relax and socialize and play pool and very good bartender by the name of Helena who is always super happy to serve customers at any time with a big smile on her face and 100% good customer service and a very good excellent diverse selection of music featuring Top 40-Country music and a little dose of heavy metal. I strongly recommend checking this lounge out you will love it and lounge manager who is also the manager of the Flying Canoe pub Todd looks like Shaggy from the cartoon Scooby Doo. Hey now peace out and have a nice day. Enjoy yourself and rock on.”

“A very nice friendly local pub with very good hard working good hearted caring loving loyal cheerful friendly staff like Tarun and Amanda who are always glad to serve their customers at any time with big smiles on their faces and very good tasting delicious super yummy food and 100% good customer service. Live jazz music every Thursday night and Sunday night karaoke with the 1 and only Milo and the pub manager Todd looks like a member of the legendry British rock band the Beatles. Check tis pub out you will love it. Now peace out and have a good day.”

“It is hard to resist buying everything”

“Lunch options are filling and meals are good value. Especially fond of the chili, though it could be spicier. Location is conveniently put between home depot, CIBC, and the aquatic centre. Grabbing a coffee is usually pretty quick. Staff are friendly.

Could use more indoor decorations, and an open men's bathroom.”
