All around great place. Waitress was amazing friendly and very patient loved her vibe.Kid-friendliness: Ok so I went there with a friend and her toddler and he's a hellion big time and nobody said a word or complained while he ran around tearing the place up. Lol

Nice sports/hunting theme bar, really fits the Port Alberni vibe. Food portion sizes are huge, a bit too big in my opinion, as I hate to waste food, and leftover fries are never good. I had the crispy chicken burger with a poutine. Chicken was twice the size of the bun and they use actual cheese curds for poutine. Food was tasty and service was great. Will be back but will split a meal with my partner as 2 people can leave full from 1 meal split.

BUCKSNORTS. What a joke. My married couple best friends wanted to go here for their valentines date. I made the reservation and wanted to pay for their night. Was told etransfer was not possible without the manager and needed a credit card. Numbers were given. Hours later when they are ready to leave, right when the surprise is to hit, BANG, "We can't process a credit card without the manager code" When I called they blamed it on the "New person" who took my call initially. When I said if all you need is a code, then call her, and fix this. I was informed the code is perfect and can't ever be changed because all the employees might just steal everything if they had said code over the phone.BUCKSNORTS = TRASHNot willing at all to help out or work with people in any capacity. Minimum effort required to work there.

Warning: if you have any food allergies DO NOT EAT HERE. I told the server I am allergic to onions, then asked if a burger would be safe to eat I was told, "I don't know - you could take your chances" I then asked if she could ask the kitchen. She wasn't happy about it if the eye-rolling was any indication, but she went. The response from the kitchen was "I can't guarantee it, I don't have time." He was working alone apparently. So we left - I'm not going to "take my chances" with my health.Otherwise it seemed to be a pretty standard bar restaurant, and the people around me seemed fairly happy. So if you don't have allergies, and don't mind rude servers, I'd say give it a shot.

Bucksnort is the kind of place you go to when you want to escape the city and enjoy some hearty comfort food in a rustic setting. It's an old country bar with wooden tables, cowboy hats, and a jukebox playing classic rock. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure. We ordered the pulled pork poutine and the big breakfast, two of their signature dishes. The poutine was loaded with tender pork, cheese curds, and gravy, all on top of crispy fries. The big potato skins breakfast. Everything was well-cooked and seasoned, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. It was all very good, but not great. Bucksnort is not a place for culinary adventures or refined palates. It's a place for simple pleasures and satisfying cravings. It's a place where you can relax, have a drink or seven and chat with the friendly locals or your other girlfriend. It's a place where you can feel at home, even if you're just passing through.Vegetarian options: No definitely not.Parking: Lots and lots of parking
Best freaking burger I have ever had.. And might I add that our service was Absolutely amazing!! I swear this girl was in 3 places at once at one point the way she was flying around. Can't wait to go back ♥️

Walked in to this place on a whim with my wife. Instantly greeted by friendly staff. The ambience is so cool! The music was at a perfect volume. The food was great, the drinks were cold. Everything was clean. But the icing on the cake was the amazing fast and fun service from server Randy. She made our day. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.
All very nice quiet
