Convenient neighborhood spot to stop in for a drink, but to be honest, the food is not good. The patio is nice in the summer and they have some good craft beer options. Staff are friendly, but more than one occasion they complain to their tables about how slow it is and they aren’t making any money. Awkward! So much wasted potential with this space it feels.

Great deals and loved the nachos! Just make sure you’re sharing it, it’s enough to feed 4-6 people!

The servers were fine. The food was terrible especially for the price. The calamari had no taste they must’ve been frozen. The chicken club came out cold with bread that was stale and dry. Never coming here again.

Long overdue. Stacy, a gem, is the owner and sole initial reason I fell in love with this establishment. She is kind, courteous and goes above and beyond to connect with community. The whole staff are always friendly and extremely hard working to make your experience top notch.This place is a corner “home” where you gather to connect and make long- lasting memories, collectively.Affordable ( very reasonable), lively, as well as laid back. Food is delicious & drinks are refreshing. If you’re seeking mocktails, they also do a great job with creative mixtures.

If day old pre-cooked rock-hard wings, with a side of attitude from the staff is your thing then this is the place for you!Honestly so disappointed.. go here for cheap drinks (local crafts beers you'll be disappointed) and the daily specials, get your food elsewhere.

The virgin Pina colada was watery & lacked flavour.Food was okay, especially the ribs, which were great & good value as the Sunday night special.Music was monotonous & a little overpowering.

Food is exactly what you expect. We only come here for late night drinks and ribs on Sunday. The Sunday special use to come with a rack of ribs, curly fries and corn on a cob, enough to feed two. Now the special excludes corn on a cob.
Castaway is a special spot that is so greatly appreciated by the local community that calls this establishment a second home. Not only is it by far the most beautifully flowered patio in the neighborhood that welcomes everyone and their most loved four leg friends, the service is second to none. As a long time customer, I feel it is my responsibility to take this opportunity to share my gratitude for the dedication of the staff, specifically the GM, it has never been better. Stacey’s sincere, welcoming and genuine demeanour to provide the best possible experience for her customers is translated through all of her staff. Our neighborhood is so lucky to have Stacey lead the castaway team and it is with pleasure that I provide this rating. Thank you Stacey and castaway team.

Long time local here, of the west kits community. Thank thank you for keeping this neighbourly mainstay alive. Call it a “cheers” bar if you want. What is also unique about this establishment, is that whether or not you’re a local in the community or international visitor, the hospitality is warm and welcoming to friends and new friends. The manager, Stacey, is the a gem, and the glue that holds this legendary establishment together. The best.

Great spot with a good happy hour! Curly fries were GREAT, burrito was a little American-ized but still delicious. Friendly staff and plenty of outdoor seating. We will be back!
