Thank you Ms. Riches for all that you have provided me over the course of 30 years. Your location, your staff and your food kept me returning to your welcoming atmosphere at every opportunity. Familiar faces, laughter and enjoyment always greeted me every time I passed through your doors. I will miss you Ms. Riches as you have been a part of my and my family's lives. We've shared great times and you'll not be forgotten. Thank you ...... Greg

Ordered fish and chips.....atrocious Heavy breading, little portion of actual fish, which was incredibly oily.
Fries are definitely frozen out of a bag.
Told server food was awful, no further action from staff, paid full price.
Don't waste your time snd money on this place.

Service was the only decent thing. Food was 🤢🤮 hospital food is better. I had spaghetti and meatballs. Meatballs were tiny and tasted like sausage (definitely from a box). Sauce was like tomato paste with greasy cheese on top. Garlic bread tasted of nothing. Prego pasta sauce from a jar is preferable. We should have known, when we walked in it smelled ....funky (not in a good way). Do not go here!

We stopped by here for lunch today on the way to the ferry. The gentleman who served us was fantastic, unfortunately have forgotten his name. I had the mushroom Swiss burger, my partner had the bacon mushroom burger and my sister in law had the quesadillas. We all LOVED our meals. The mushroom gravy with my burger was addicting. We will definitely stop by here whenever we pass through Nanaimo again. Amazing food and fantastic service! Thank you!

We ordered “Mrs. R’s Famous Beef Dip” for take out 3 days ago and the meat was tender slow roasted Alberta AAA strips of PAPER TOWEL on one side of the sandwich. When I called they seemed rather nonchalant about the incident, told me I could come all the way back down there and get another sandwich (uh no! Maybe you should have offered to have one delivered) then said ok you can come get a refund. I went the next day after work with all the paper towel in a baggie, the lady at that front took it from me & went to the kitchen. I could see them checking it. She came back out told me someone would be with me in a moment. Finally a fellow came out handed me my 23.00 as he turned to walk away said sorry about that and left. I was appalled they weren’t more apologetic and didn't really seem to care. I have ordered a lot of food from there over the last couple of years, and I will not order there anymore. I wish you could post pictures on here so people could see what was sent out.

Fantastic meal here last night! So many menu options, hard to choose as they're all so yummy. Bottomless Pepsi?! We don't have that in NZ, so was a pleasant suprise! Will go back when we are next in Nanaimo. The decor in the restaurant is worth a trip
Awesome decor and amazing menu. The staff was just as terrific. Definitely a must place to dine.

Always good portions and great food

This is a great little family diner that has a charming 60s vibe. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the staff are pleasant. I was happy with the food, and my boyfriend absolutely loves it here. His favorite dish is the veal cutlets, and the spaghetti was also good. The portions are large, and they offer some fantastic drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

The food was great, I had the Legendary Spaghetti. The waitress was great, and the setting and scene was delightful. I definitely cant wait to go back. Highly rated, if you havent been there yet or lately its a must try spot to eat
