We have always enjoyed the doghouse restaurant, not just because of the food, but courteous staff and consistency with the food. Yesterday, Easter Sunday my husband and I stopped in for breakfast. We were taken to small booth, too small for 6ft8inch guy, and larger woman. We were than taken to a small table by the cash register where three small tables cluster together, your almost sitting on neighbour's knees so close together. We explained we weren't happy and finally one girl reluctantly found us better place to sit. For the first time the food also not as good. Pancakes really small. Looked like cutting costs with portion change. Staff losing the great friendliness. Just wanted to make sure posted so hopefully owner talks to staff. Hate to see them lose what has always been the attraction, good service, good consistent food.

A bit of a time machine! I'm sure the interior hasn't changed much since opening. Nostalgic old time atmosphere, right down to the servers. Large portions of food. We didn't have a dessert but they look amazing. A meal in themselves. If you like coleslaw, it can be ordered as a side alternative to fries and was enjoyable. We will come back to try some more items.

Wow. Absolutely blown away with my experience here. The Dog House is the perfect iteration of a diner and quite possibly the best restaurant I have eaten on Vancouver Island after 7 years living here.The portions are generous and the food quality is above average. Will definitely be back.

Nice little diner to stop off at if you're going down or up the island. If you can swing it I'd recommend trying to get the early bird special. Food is decent. I think it could be improved especially around their eggs which usually are pretty overcooked but the employees are incredibly friendly and it's easy to get in and out in less than half an hour if you're in a rush.

Truly terrible service. The server came up and told us she was about to go on a ten minute smoke break. Our food was then 20 minutes late as she forgot to put in our orders. She also messed up the orders when we got them.

Ordered pancakes with strawberries. Pancakes were only partially cooked and they were literally swimming in strawberry juice and dethawed strawberries. The whole meal was a trainwreck.

This was our second time here, I had the Sunday Brunch special, Prime Rib with Poached eggs and Demi glace.. it did not disappoint! Fabulous diner atmosphere, full ofocal folks so you know they e been doing it right for many years!
The place was packed with happy, hungry people. The menue is huge. The food is delicious, and it offers a wide range of selections for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. I had the foot long hot dog with everything on it, and it was outstanding.
