The soda was flat, that salad was dirty and the fish was dry and hard to swallow . I asked if the fish was frozen, I could tell it was. If you want nasty food at inflated prices this is the place for you! Never again for me.

Staff is rude and negligent to customers. Food was also not great. Do not recommend.

This used to be my favorite restaurant but they won’t even acknowledge my fb message or email about my recent experience and all I wanted was to be heard and acknowledged so I didn’t lose faith in what I used to consider a great place to eat. My whole party was disappointed last visit and this is what I had sent them Hi there, I sent this through Facebook messenger but it was not acknowledged as of yet so I thought I would email. I have not posted this review publicly and wanted to share directly. Has the restaurant changed management or ownership? Good morning, I wanted to reach out and let you know of our experience dining on this past Friday the 13th. I am a big fan of your restaurant and always eager to share my excitement of how I love your perch and prime rib. We have spent many celebrations with you including my 50th birthday dinner. I love the fish so much I drove from London to do a takeout order of several perch platters for my son’s birthday since they had a newborn at home. This past Friday, myself, my mom and my sister decided to treat ourselves with a drive to port for prime rib and it was a complete disappointment for us all. I don’t like to complain but I feel that because we have loved your restaurant so much, you should know all feedback because as they said, they would not be rushing back. It’s hard to find good restaurants anymore so this is disappointing. We all had the prime rib dinners and I added a side of perch to mine. My sister and I upgraded to ceasar salads which I was shocked to later find out it was a $4.50 upgrade which would not have been worth it. I then found a grey hair in my salad which I discreetly just pushed my bowl away because it was crowded in the restaurant and the tables were close together so I didn’t want to cause embarrassment and make a scene. We had ordered our prime rib medium rare and when it came it was very overdone with no pink whatsoever. I still wouldn’t have complained at that except, the beef itself was tough and chewy, totally unlike how a prime rib should have been. The fish is something I normally come for, and to be honest all I could taste is a strong oil that was not typical of my previous experiences. I thought you should know this because if I was asked what my favorite restaurant was last week, hands down I would say the bucaneer. Now I am concerned of the quality for which we experienced on Friday night and will hesitate on that choice. I don’t want to be a complainer but as a business owner, I feel it does more for you to know than to just lose patrons and wonder what happened

Was not good

Didn’t expect to find such a great restaurant off the beach in Port Stanley.
This is a cool restaurant adorned with historical pictures and marine paraphernalia.
The service is excellent, the food is great ( try their fresh perch and a bowl of chilli) and the price point is reasoable.
We’ll be back for sure

Terrible experience I arrived with my family, they assigned us a table for 4 people and they never served us, the restaurant was not full, the waitresses only passed by and excused themselves with each other. In the end we decided to leave after 15 minutes of waiting.

I hadn’t been to this restaurant for a couple of years, but gave it a chance this evening as they were very accommodating to accept our party of 11 last minute despite being very busy. I was completely impressed by the food - the quality has improved substantially over the last couple years. Portions are huge, staff are super friendly and the food was good quality, fresh and delicious. the Buccaneer has definitely pulled into first place for our favourite restaurant in Port.

$35 for Chicken Souvlaki and one weak Long Island Ice Tea. Ordered my meal to go because they weren't happy that i had a certified service dog with me, and they requested that i accept a seat off to the side of the main public serving area. There is definitely no value for the dollar here!! A small side salad was included drenched in some kind of putrid oil and vinegar dressing..Meal consisted of 4 chicken nuggets on a scure, a dollar bill sized piece of lettuce, and 3 small triangles of stale pita bread. No rice or other items included. Usually, rice and dressing are included in souvlaki, not here. When I called to question the missing rice, I was told it wasn't included. Aptly named Buccaneers as many were pirates and crooks, how appropriate.
Dont waste your money here. There are many, much better, alternatives within a 10 minute drive. Useless resource for local food. Wouldn't go back even if they were giving the food away.

Terrible service. Waitress was rude. Waited for service as she was eating in the dining room. Was not friendly at all. Clearly she hates her job

Service and food was quite good. The meals were a little slow from the kitchen. Love sitting on the patio. Food tends to be a little pricey for the meal size.
