JV's Diner provides a nostalgic dining experience with delicious food, great service, and a clean, inviting venue. Its old skool atmosphere, pizzas, extravagant milkshakes, poutine, and diverse menu make it a popular spot for those passing through. The large menu offers many options, including the new chicken and waffles, which feature a fluffy waffle and perfectly cooked crispy chicken with butter syrup, creating a perfect combo of sweet and savory. The diner has a fun, upbeat atmosphere that adds to the charm, with booth seating, old phones, a collection of radios, and a juke box, making it a delightful place to visit.
The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment for guests. Many diners appreciate the fantastic service and note that the bacon cheese dog is just like the ones from their hometown. While some find the food nothing too special, it is homey and exactly what one would expect from a diner. The milkshakes, however, receive high praise for being yummy, creamy, and made just right with whipped cream and sprinkles.
Though there might be some opinions on prices and the temperature of the water, overall, JV's Diner offers good value with a friendly atmosphere and tasty meals. It is a place where families can enjoy a fun, classic diner experience with a variety of choices to satisfy different tastes, making it a definite gem of Lake Cowichan.
