“A classic diner experience with a twist. There is a kind of westernized Chinese food fusion thing going on at Barnacles Barney's. We got the fish and chips, sweet and sour pork, and chow mein. The fish and chips were great, chow mein was decent, if a bit light on protein, and the sweet and sour pork was okay. I thought it was overcooked and too heavy on the sauce, although that would be a plus with rice.
Service was very friendly and as attentive as could be. One girl was running at least 6-7 tables of 4+ people. Definitely a hustler and sweet as well. We came in around lunch, so I was a bit surprised to see her serving solo.
As for the vibe, it's got the old school diner feeling. Pretty well fits in the rest of the tourist strip in Ladysmith. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back!“
