“Recently tried their new location - More on the Shore (located in the Coast Marina) and had the Crispy Cod Tacos. So good and the candied jalapeño jam really adds to the flavor. Next time I need to try their ice cream sandwiches. Check them out as they are a must try!”

“We were just down in CR for medical (from Port Hardy) and finally decided to stop in after hearing how amazing this place is from friends. Our server was Anna and she was absolutely incredible! We both ordered a clubhouse, my husband on the sourdough she recommended and myself on marble rye as that is my fav. He has worked in restaurants for 37 years and said this was probably the best clubhouse he had ever had. Being in the industry we were (non creepily!!!) watching the staff, every one of them were not only keeping busy the entire time, helping each other out, they all looked like they were having FUN. We will absolutely be back when we are down next! Keep up the amazing work and thank you Anna for being so friendly, allowing space for conversation while still ensuring you are taking care of all your guests. 😊”

“Pleasantly surprised when I stopped to pick up a takeout sandwich. Do not be put off by the price – the size is at least 2 to 3 times that of a sandwich you would buy anywhere else. Plus, it includes house made fried potatoes. Quality is superb. Homemade bread is made daily. Turkey is house roasted and organic. It is piled high, topped with cranberry sauce. Also extremely friendly service.”

Coffee Shops • $
“*DID YOU KNOW: all of their croissants are baked in a Nordic oven which, is why they’re slightly darker and more crunchy. Aaaand, did you know that their pastries are all true sourdough which has been fermented for four days before they develop the pastries?🥐 ☕️ They don’t offer syrup, because they’re Nordic coffee shop not American style. This place is unique. Honestly, I had no idea and, this just makes us place even more special!”

Japanese • $$
“It was a walking distance from our hotel, so we decided to give them a try. We ordered their Tray B and the vegies tempura.
The tempura was good, but a bit on the greasy side (in comparison to tempura in Japan). The sushi has a good balance of texture, temperature and subtle umami. Tray B portion was definitely more than enough for 2 people. It can easily serve 3 people.
We'd come back if we're in the area again.”

“Beijing House is our favourite restaurant in Campbell River, BC. Our kids love the lemon chicken, green onion pancakes and mini spring rolls.

“Overall it was a good experience, just don’t expect your steak sandwich to be normal (from what I’m used to anyways); it was about a quarter of a steak cut in pieces put on bread with leafy greens under the steak. Definitely not a filling meal for my husband but otherwise it was a good vibe and good service. Above and beyond measures taken for food sensitivities and allergies. Slightly hard to have a convo due to noise level.”

Thai • $$
“This intimate little restaurant was a real find 🥰on my way through Campbell River! The food was great and service attentive, friendly but unobtrusive. I have had Thai food in other places in Canada and other countries and these dishes were delicious and authentic. I had the Thai Papaya Salad which came with a nice amount of the house dressing, as well as the Kristy Special with tofu as my protein selection. Being vegetarian, it was great that I could select the protein for any dish; that is so rare! Usually I am stuck with one or two options, but here I could paid tofu with most of the offerings. I had also asked for medium spice and it didn't disappoint 😅. The vegetables were generous and were not overcooked, and came with a generous helping of rice noodles and the tofu. And the portions for both were large enough that I saved a portion to have another day. Even though the place was at capacity, service was efficient, friendly and timely. If you love Thai food, I definitely highly recommend this place in Campbell River! 😋🇹🇭”

“Ginger Beef House is an absolute gem that delivers some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Their signature Ginger Beef is the undisputed star of the show—perfectly crispy, tender, and tossed in a rich, tangy sauce with just the right amount of kick. Beyond the incredible food, the portions are highly generous, the ingredients taste remarkably fresh, and the staff is incredibly warm and attentive. Whether you are dining in or grabbing takeout, the exceptional quality and fantastic service make this spot an absolute must-visit.”

The staff at the shop were great to deal with and didn't mind that we changed our order slightly on days 2 and 3 to accommodate player requests. The price was reasonable and within budget and they were ready to go when promised. It could not have been any easier or better. Thank you to all the staff who helped make our tournament a success. We will definitely be back next year!.”

“I ordered two wraps, one coffee, and one tea.
The tea wasn’t made according to the order initially, but the staff acknowledged it and offered to remake it right away. It’s rare these days to see people recognize a mistake and promptly act on it, which I really appreciate.
Both wraps were freshly made to order and better than most Tim’s wraps I’ve had before. One of them was a breakfast wrap, which they still kindly served even though we were a little past the breakfast time.
Overall, great service and attentive staff.
