Downriggers on the Water

Great food and views by the water. Prices are reasonable given the quality and location.

We came after leaving a table at another restaurant and it was 100x better!

Pretty good, fish was hot and fresh

Would have loved to order take out here, repeatedly called and sent to voicemail at 5 pm. No option to order online and informed not to leave a voicemail for take out.

Went there 6/17 for our 30th anniversary. Quick service great meal.Best fish and chips and shrimp and chips. Would definitely have a reservation this time of year.

Best and crispiest fries I’ve maybe ever had. Great breaded salmon and Cole slaw, and kind and prompt service.

The salmon was excellent, but grilled shrimp was mediocre, more seasoning needed.

Great ocean views, good food and not as badly priced as other places these days, but still not cheap. Enjoyed the clam chowder in a bread bowl especially.

We stopped in for lunch before taking the ferry to Victoria. Good views and tasty food, although the service is a bit slow. Try the hot crab dip with garlic toast -- a bit pricey but crazy good.

Downriggers on the water was fantastic! I shared a hearty bowl of clam chowder with bread—solid 8/10. Then I ordered the salmon fish and chips, which I highly recommend; the batter was perfect—9/10. My wife had the Downrigger burger, and it was one of the juiciest, most flavorful burgers I’ve ever tasted. I’d give it a 10/10. The service was standard, and the atmosphere was good—maybe a bit outdated—but the views of the sea and mountain range from the restaurant were amazing. Highly recommend!

Good place to get a beer or drink, however would not come back for the food. 24 beers on the menu, so a good variety.

Food was just okay, but nothing that stood out.

We always have an amazing experience when we come here. My family treated me to a birthday dinner so I had the 20oz Porterhouse steak. It was so tender it was like prime rib. Literally cut it with a fork. Bloody Mary I had with dinner was great and the chocolate thunder cake was insane. Loved every bit of it. The place was packed but the staff and servers were super friendly and professional. Hardly any wait at all. Awesome experience.
