Scotch egg... Awesome
Hear ye, hear ye, I have just found an exquisite gem! I just heated up my delicious poutine leftovers that I garnered from our 1st visit here and sat down to write this review.
The price is crazy for the bountiful amounts! Me and the youngest both got the Beef Brisket Poutine. A huge square togo container slam packed with some of the best smoked brisket I've had in awhile! Delicious cheese curds, gravy and a sauce that just took it over the top, and the fries were tasty all by themselves.
My other kiddo got the 6oz Beef Burger, a huge beef patty that hung out from the bun. (as a burger should!) The wife got the Beef Brisket Sandwich on a ciabatta bun, a hardy portion on its own. I also ordered the All Beef Chili Cheese Dog that we all wanted to try. Forget using your hands, you'll need a fork and knife for this badboy, it was delicious!
The price for all of this food was something you don't see nowadays, a very great deal for some top quality cuisine! And the customer service is also something hard to come across these days, very kind and accommodating.
It was a wonderful experience on a beautiful sunny day. We will definitely be back!
Beef brisket poutine was the best damn poutine I’ve tried in my whole life. I gasped when I saw how big and delicious it looked. It was enough to feed two hungry people.
This place is a Port Alberni gem! Always great food and I mean Always!
Super yummy comfort food. Very friendly staff.
Lovely little spot on the quay. I normally come here when I want poutine as it's the best in town but more recently I've been trying other things on the menu and haven't been disappointed. The chicken sandwich was spectacular. Moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside topped with a generous amount of greens.
This was perfect ! Ordered and got a huge poutine for only $10.45 (excellent price point actually a deal for the size I couldn’t eat it all) it’s the full square box not the rectangle box size! and I love that the basic came with green onions why can’t everybody do this ! Good fries and real cheese curds ! I walked over to look at the water and I came back and it had been ready and the very kind man had been looking for me. So fast! It was delicious! They also have burgers etc. and seemed to have regulars … they knew the orders of, always great to see such great service! They have great outdoor seating in the sun or shade what a quaint little place! I had been looking for a good poutine since arriving on my island vacation traveling up from the south of the island heading north over the last few days and found it ! Thanks guys will definitely will be spreading the word and come back on my next visit to the island in the fall and try one of your more fancy chicken or pulled pork poutines ! Note - other points there are bathrooms in the square for all the businesses spirit square - which is pet friendly so you can eat and have your pets there I saw several folks doing so , always nice for those folks with fur children.
A couple SCOTCH-EGGS (w/HP sauce) got my day started and were delicious as expected.Thanks again!
One of the best chicken sandwiches and fries/poutines around. Soo good. My son enjoyed his so much that nothing was left on the plate. We will be back. Thanks Homestead!

Delicious food! Outside at the quay so wheelchair friendly.
Prices are very reasonable, and the staff are super friendly!
My friend says they have the best poutine in Port Alberni and I'm inclined to agree! She usually orders some and walks home, and it's still warm when she gets home!
Sandwiches and wraps are amazing, breakfast and lunch. The breakfast wrap was surprisingly large, and absolutely stuffed with excellent food.
Would definitely recommend :)
