“Jeff and the whole team always serve amazing food and cocktails. One of my favourite spots....anywhere, not just in Duncan. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”
“Cosy atmosphere. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Funky old building. Blankets to help you stay cosy. Never feel rushed. Nice harbour view. Definitely worth the drive.”
“Thank you Red Arrow for,being a part of the beautiful Cowichan Valley!!!”
“We hired Taco Revolution for our wedding this September and I couldn’t recommend them more! The staff is so friendly and the food was amazing. All of our guests were raving about the food for days after. It was so nice knowing that they were going to show up, set up, serve and then take down. We also had no issues with items running out and all of our guests were happily full after. It was wonderful having all the different dietary restrictions taken care of and big thumbs up for the nut free kitchen as we had a guest who is very allergic. Thank you so much for everything and I’ll be recommending you to all my friends!”

“The food was bland and didn't taste like it had peanuts in the peanut sauce. When I mentioned it, it was like they didn't care and charged us anyway. I left most of it. Very disappointing!”

“Everything I have tried at Bandos has been super delicious. Big portions, and so many options! I recently tried the orange chicken, beef and broccoli with fried rice and spring roll combo. I enjoyed every bite! I also love the peanut satay stirfry, you can never go wrong with that one. Do give this place a try, you won’t regret it!”
“Tanadoori Prawns/Vegetables combo was excellent. The place was not busy and the waskrooms were clean but better than average.”
“FIVE STARS FOR LEVA
We called in while our parents were in having a special birthday dinner and were able to co-ordinate with leva to do a FaceTime and surprise them with a cake and candle, and she managed to get everyone to sign along ! Leva gave amazing service, was extremely polite and helpful on the phone and even called us back to let us know when they were bringing out the cake !!
Thank you so much!! ❤️”

“The food is really good, and our server was very positive and thoughtful. It was however, pretty dark inside, and we had a 6 person reservation, yet was given one small round table, when a lot of the other larger tables were unoccupied. Have been there several times though, and would definitely go again.”
“food quality is very poor. Every time I order food or come in to eat the food that's being served is rotten! stop serving expired food and toss it out. Boston Pizza use to be an upper scale restaurant now it feels like an average bar with crappie food that's way over priced. It's truly a shame”
“Final supper on the island before our journey back to the prairies. This supper was memorable. Large portions, great seafood linguine, good chowder, fish and chips and the shrimp platter. Service was great, our servers were a pleasure to talk with and made us feel valued and welcome. When we return to the island, this place will be on our must visit list again!”
Takeout Restaurants
“My Husband and I stopped here to check out this wonderful deli! We ordered a pizza, the best pizza we have ever had. Friendly service, great atmosphere. We will be back!”
“This is such a cute little place there is one lady who is doing everything and she is so sweet and kind I loved my interaction with her when getting on roll from their to go section and had to go back for more it was so delightful! Good sushi good price and lovely worker”
“We are on vacation and decided to eat at the Jacksonville location. The food was delicious! Would most certainly recommend.”
“Since the new ownership this little Duncan staple has turned right around. The staff are so much fun, and are dedicated to making sure everyone has a great (and safe) time. So many cool events and local entertainment <3”
“Amazing experience at Great Fermentations. Their Winexpert Eclipse Barolo was truly one of the very best kit wines I have ever made or ever tasted for that matter. I will not only order another Eclipse Barolo wine kit, but I am very motivated to try the rest of the Eclipse line. Typically, it takes a long time to age Barolo wine, the pleasant and knowledgeable staff at Great Fermentations explained how Eclipse kits have a special secret process that makes it possible to have a delicious drinkable wine in a much shorter period of time. Looking forward to my next batch!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“ Earlier in December I was in Duncan running errands and stumbled across Westfalian bakery cafe tucked away in its own little spot. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but inside was a huge assortment of traditional baked goods and Korean-inspired treats! By the time I got there (around noon), most of the Korean pastries were already sold out, but out of what I did grab, the carrot cake was the standout; spongy, light, and perfect with my coffee. Next time you’re in Duncan, pop in and check them out!”
“I have ordered meals for work lunches twice from Hanks.
They go above and beyond to accommodate dietary requests (if it is within their limitations) and always communicate well.
The staff are friendly and efficient.
I’ve not dined there but would assume it is as great as the food and service.
I highly recommend Hanks”

“By far the BEST little Ice Cream Parlour that I've ever been to.
The food is excellent!
The sandwiches and soup are to die for. Everything is wholesome. Nothing processed.
Thank you for making my Wednesdays delicious!
Looking forward to the fantastic sandwiches you make. My favourite is the Roast Chicken sandwich loaded with chicken, lettuce, tomato, cucumber with potato salad on the side. Sometimes I have the homemade soup which makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
Hmmm... I might just pop in today! 🥰

“Went on a very busy evening (valentines) with out of town friends. Really want to acknowledge the top notch service! Extremely busy evening but the staff did a phenomenal job!! The food was very good, I was impressed. 10/10 on the lettuce wraps!! Child friendly was a big bonus. We will definitely return.”

“What can I say this place surprisingly has the best pizza in town ! The xxl pizza is the size of an oven top and the slices barely fit the microwave ! The stuffed crust options are great ( dill pickle stuffed crust was delicious ) the regular cheese stuffed with oregano is top 10 !”
“Just stopped by for some lunch. Had a great chicken sandwich. Lots of stuff made just the way i like it. Lots of parking and it is free. The store is clean and well organized. The service was fast and friendly. Buddy was very helpful and did not waste any time making my sandwich for me.”
“The evening staff here was out of this world!!! Would give them a ten star rating!!! We had the BEST service here that we have ever had at any subway ever in all the decades we have eaten at Subway… staff was knowledgeable, quick, generous and made the best salads and sandwiches we have ever bought and eaten! Stop here and fill up! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Came in yesterday and the guy at the counter jack I believe his name was super friendly and very efficient with taking my order ;)
the chicken was amazing and super crispy, fries were a little too salty or my liking ( but that comes with trying somewhere and me not speaking up ).
Overall new favorite spot to go too, and cant wait to get to know the people there better.”
“This place saved me as a new mom, the only thing i wish i did differently was talk to Rebecca about cloth diapers before having my son. It would have saved me alot of frustration in the first month. Rebecca has a huge heart and always goes above and beyond.”
“I have a son with multiple severe food allergies so we are a bit of a pain when we order food from restaurants. I cannot say enough good things about the Duncan White Spot. They are always SO accommodating with finding food options that are safe for my son. Many (if not all) of their staff are familiar with how carefully food allergies need to be handled. As a parent of a child with allergies, it is a HUGE relief to find a place that you know your child can eat at safely. This White Spot has, and will continue to be, our go to place when we want too eat out as a family.”
“Love all,of the food, amazing miso (not true of every restaurant), fresh sushi, tasty bento boxes, I can honestly say I’ve not been unhappy with anything they’ve prepared for me. But, if I was to tell you my favourite things the first would be the “Monkey Brains” we recently tried. We’ve had this dish in other restaurants and really thought we’d found the best version elsewhere...but we were wrong! Sushi House Monkey Brains are THE best! The spicy chopped scallop roll is a must, and if you like Pho, their soups are delectable. I recently ordered take out Pho and was so impressed when I realized that the broth was very obviously homemade and it was without a doubt the best Pho I’ve ever had. Thank you Sushi House, you’re our go to place!”
“We ordered dinner from Just Jakes/Craig Street Brewpub tonight. Service was phenomenal. The food was amazing, staff were so friendly and the whole process was so organized during this difficult COVID restriction. Highly recommend ordering your next lunch and/or dinner from this business. You won’t be disappointed.”
“If you want Bangkok street food, this is the place for you. I've been to Bangkok, and this place is legit.
The older I get, the less spice I can tolerate, medium spice was too much for me. Next time, and oh yes there will be a next time. I'll stick with mild.
This is my goto Thai when I'm on Duncan, it's a hidden gem on the main drag.”
“Had a great evening at this locally owned restaurant. Got to meet one of the co-owners and she shared her inspirational story. My sister and I used to frequent Romeo’s in Victoria on Blanchard back in the early 90’s. had the fettuccine chicken Alfredo and it was absolutely amazing. Big portion so we took home leftovers and enjoyed them 4 hrs later and it tasted even more amazing!! Love that this is an indigenous owned business.”
“the food is great, it’s absolutely goated with the sauce man. Every time i want chinese food, this the place”
“I can’t get enough of that lemon grass pork. The pho is always hot and flavourful. I love Pho Vuong!!! It’s my favorite place to visit when we’re in Duncan. The lemonade was a perfect balance.”
“The workers at Pizza Hut did an excellent job with both taking and preparing my order. They were friendly, patient, and made sure everything was correct before placing the order. The pizza came out fresh, perfectly cooked, and exactly how I requested it. Their attention to detail and great customer service really made the experience enjoyable.”

“Great pizzas, ordered 4 and they were as ordered. Think the young, very friendly staff member, Titan maybe, was very helpful as he carried the four pizzas to my car as I walk with a cane. The leftover pizzas tasted great warmed up the next day. I would definitely recommend. I also had insulated Panago pizza carriers which the staff had never seen, recommend they sell these again.”
“I should have written this months ago. Azam catered my daughter's wedding in October and made it a wonderful and unforgettable occasion. He found everything we needed to have the event in her garden, including the tent and lighting! The food was excellent, totally delicious, and we had a constant stream of compliments. I cannot recommend Azam highly enough.”

“This specific Wendy’s is truly the best. The quality here is fresh, and worth what you pay for. What really sets this location apart is the staff — they’re friendly, fast, and genuinely care.
I want to give a special shoutout to one staff member in particular: his name is Shawn (or possibly Shane). He’s been working here for years, and my friend works there and always says how professional he is at his job and how he treats others. People like him make the experience stand out. He definitely deserves recognition!”
