We were looking for a place to grab a sweet treat in Victoria and this did not disappoint! When we first got into Victoria, we stopped by for lunch at BeaverTails and got the poutine. When we got back from an adventure at Butchart Gardens, we stopped by for dessert! We got the Hazel Amour and it was enough for us to share. There are so many offers and combinations that I could see us coming back here the next time we're back in BC. If you're staying in Victoria, this place gets a little crazier when the cruise ships are docked. There are only a few tables outside so it's perfect on a sunny day or if you plan to explore the city with a treat in hand. read more

BeaverTails is a must if you are ever in Canada. This place is a to-go or take out sort of outlet. They have a lot of sweets and poutine is one of the few savory things that are offered. They are also recommended as one of the best in Canada for poutine. We did some search and according to other Yelpers, this place has the best of them. We tried it and it is a 10 out of 10. The fries were hot. The gravy was amazing and the fried curds are to die for. It is enough to share, but definitely if you are a poutine lover, this is the right amount. And you do not have to go into a restaurant and get an obnoxious amount of poutine this is just the right amount for your poutine fix read more

So yummy! It was a fun treat during our quick stop in Victoria. Nice walk from the cruise terminal.

TOP NOTCH SERVICE. Beaver Tails are the ultimate Canadian experience. A fried flat dough topped with a sugary mixture. This is located on a main strip in Victoria - and I was happy to see it. I'd only had it in Ottawa. They have others in BC just not in Vancouver. It's a small stand so it's tight but it opens to the street so it feels bigger. On your birthday, you get a free beaver tail which retails probably closer to $10. You get to have the original but my favorite favorite flavor is the original with a lemon on it so they gave that to us for free for my mom's birthday. You must visit the spot if you're in Victoria yes it is a little touristy, but it is a very good product and the staff is super friendly. read more

We got the BrWOWnie and Strawberry Cheesecake and they were amazing! Though I definitely preferred the brownie one more. Definitely wanted to try their pistachio one too though but didn't get the chance. The fried dough base was delicious! Crisps on the edges, and soft in the middle. The brownie consist of chocolate hazelnut spread, then topped with warm brownie chunks, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. The strawberry cheesecake one is layered with cream cheese frosting, a drizzle of strawberry sauce, and generous chunks of graham cracker crumble. Service was neutral, and ambiance was great! read more

cruise ship stopped here and beaver tails sounded really interesting. Got the one with peanutbutter and nutella on it and it was super tasty. Rest of my family got boring ice cream, im glad i got my beaver tail boys read more

Can't go to Canada without getting a Beaver Tail. It's a walk up place where you can order and go or sit at one of the outdoor tables. If you are an American pay by credit card otherwise your change will be Canadian. read more

We didn't have very long to explore Victoria on our recent cruise, but we were on a hunt for poutine. Luckily, my wife saw a sign for this place as we were exploring. They have several options for poutine, but we went with the traditional. They also have some sweet treats called beaver tails. We really enjoyed our poutine. The flavor was great and it was perfect temperature for a cool night. read more

By the time we walked here from port, there was a long line for this yummy snack. We ordered the very basic beaver tail to try and my family loved it all! I just felt like it was a little on the small size. It's a pretty small shop that offers a variety of beaver tails, hot dogs, smoothies, ice cream, and hot chocolate. There could be more but everyone was really there for the tails. It came highly recommended by a friend so we tried it. We enjoyed it and would come back again for a sweet treat if we weren't tourists! read more

Maybe they had an off day but I've been to their location in Niagara Falls and the dough was not as thin and crispy as it was here. It was still decent but not as good as I know it can be. I had the Hazel Amour and the flavor was good. read more

We got here before the cruise ship rush. Nice place for a sweet treat. We were too full to try their poutine but the beaver tail was good. Only a couple tables in front of the stand. read more

Not much ambience here -- think of a fixed-location food truck and you'll be about there. The staff were friendly and the service was fast and with a smile. We shared the simple Beaver Tail: fried dough with cinnamon and sugar. It was good but very sweet and our group said that we didn't think we could eat the more extravagantly-topped tails. They also have poutine, which we did not try, and will put poutine on the BeaverTail to make a "Poutail" if you're a fan of crossing the streams. On the sidewalk in front of the shop, they have a couple of small tables with 2 chairs each. read more

Delicious. Had only a couple hours in Victoria. Thankfully part of it was spent eating this goodness.

Glad we came across this place. Poutine was good, had a lot of cheese curds on it. Fries and gravy was nice and hot. Lemonade was nice and refreshing. The rest of the food smelled really good. Had a few tables outside so we sat down and enjoyed. Redeemed our yelp bonus after checking in and got a hotdog too. read more

While visiting Victoria we had to try out some poutine and beaver tails! Yelp results showed this as the best rated to where we were, and while the outside looked not that impressive - the food was good! Is this a chain? Probably. It gave me American Wetzel Pretzel/Hot dog on a Stick vibes but it did just fine for us since the food was a new experience. We got a hazelnut beaver tail which reminded us of a flat funnel cake and the poutine was fries with basic light brown gravy and chunks of mozzarella. Employees were nice, and service was prompt. read more

Think elephant ear dresses up with various flavors of your choosing. We got 2 different flavors, the classic and we ordered the Dubai flavored but ended up with a pistachio and the only complaint is that they are deliciously messy! We got our orders very quickly. read more

Brightly lit on a cold October night, we were drawn to Beavertails like moths to a flame. Not too much of a line, as the process to order food is quick. With the limited seating, most guests stood around the storefront eating their food and chatting with each other. THE FOODS | Beavertail pastries, poutine, hot dogs, and ice cream. I ordered... - Poutine | Thick fries topped with Quebec cheese curds which slowly soften but not quite melt; maintaining its squishy and chewy properties. Brown gravy is slathered on top and permeates into the fries. The dish is hearty and savory. A must try. - Beaver Dog | Hot dog warmly wrapped in their signature pastry which is slightly sweet. Add a little ketchup or dip it into the brown gravy from the poutine and you have yourself a real treat. THE BEAVERTAILS FEELS | An alcove with just enough interior space to take a few steps in to order at the front counter. A display case of ice cream flavors sits adjacent to the cash register. There's a red awning extending out onto the sidewalk where a couple of red tables and chairs are placed to sit and eat. The vibe is Canadian flare with a beaver plushy hanging out on top of the ice cream display case. THE PARKING SITUATION | Metered parking on the street. THE ORDERING LOGISTICS | Just line up and order or order through a food delivery app. read more

Conveniently located within Downtown Victoria, its one of those cheap snack/ dessert franchises you have to hit up just because it exists. Flat fried dough with a variety of sweet toppings doesn't get any simpler. Unless I've forgotten, I've had other locations where the dough had a more substantial bite. It makes the toppings cloyingly sweet and doesn't balance them out well enough. For a late night craving, it's just easy access at least. read more

Stopped here while on a cruise! First time having poutine and loved it! This is just a storefront so it's all outdoor seating in an area with other cafes/restaurants. There was a line when I got there but it went by super quick! Employees were really nice and made small talk with everyone asking people where they were from and such. If I'm ever back in Victoria I'll go back for more food! read more

Fun place to stop while cruiseship was in port at Victoria. A nice 25min walk from port to downtown Victoria. The person at the visitor center said this place would be decent for poutine, and it was. Also got an "beavertail" which is like wide and flat fried dough. Picked one with some apple pie filling on top which was a bit messy and highly sweet. Beaver tail itself was yummy. read more

I had never tried beaver tails before my visit to Victoria a few months ago and I was super excited to learn there was a physical location here. The pastries are unique and SO delicious! The different flavours they have really amazed me. One of my favourite spots to go to every time I'm there. This is a grab and go location. They don't have any seating area read more

I desperately wish this chain was in America. There are a ton of different varieties and I would love to try more of them. A simple but delicious treat. read more

I visited Beaver Tails for the first time with a friend of mine as this was highly recommended to me for when I visited Canada. I ordered the "Mehple" which was just maple and powdered sugar and she got the strawberry cheesecake. I wasn't sure what to expect from a Beaver Tail but I reminded me of a funnel cake. I thought it was pretty good. I'd like to try other flavors before I decide one way or the other though. I thought the maple was good, but definitely a bit plain. Otherwise service was good and the space was clean with a few chairs to sit in. As a bonus though, you get 10% off your order if you check in on Yelp, so that was a nice treat too! read more

Whenever we visit Victoria, this place has become our go-to spot. It's similar to a fresh funnel cake adorned with delectable toppings. Anticipate a short queue as the beavertails are crafted on the spot. A single tail serves as a delightful dessert for two people, though be prepared for a slightly messy experience if you don't have a plate or fork; a generous supply of napkins is advisable. There were a few table and chairs on the sidewalk to eat at out front. While I personally don't find them particularly extraordinary, my family absolutely adores these treats. read more

The food pictures are the real deal, better than I could describe.... read more

If you've got the munchies, and want an option for both savory and sweet goodies, this little stall in the middle of downtown is the place to stop by! Offering up fried dough that is similar to American fair's "elephant ears" these fried doughs are topped with either poutine, sweet goodies like icing, glazes, sprinkles, cereal, you name it. There are many favorite options ranging from flavors like cookies and cream, and other that even offer a hot dog nestled in the middle. I ordered the poutine, which was close to 8-9 dollars and it came out super fresh and piping hot. The fries weren't cold fries that were waiting to be served and the gravy was thick with lots of cheese curds. While I'm sure this wasn't the best damn poutine I've ever had in Canada, it satisfies your craving at the convenience of you walking around Victoria box in hand. read more

We had their poutine, it had a good amount of fries but that's where it ends. The cheese curds we just dumped on top not mixed in. The gravy which should be the best part of poutine was tasteless. My wife and I ate a quarter of it then threw it away. read more

Compared to elephant ears... these are way better. My favorite was the avalanche beaver tail which tasted like a cheesecake. I used a groupon coupon to get two beavertails for 8 dollars! This is such a cute little side street sweet treat. Great little dessert snack, especially after dinner! Will definitely be back here again to try other flavors read more

Absolutely delicious!! The line is intimidating, but once you have that first bite- it was definitely worth it. We had the cinnamon sugar beaver tail and an order of poutine. Service was great and once you ordered, your food came out pretty quickly. I recommend it hands down. There are two tables in front, but otherwise, standing room only. The fries in the poutine were some of the best I have ever had. read more

The Beaver Tails were yummy! I prefer the classic, but my son loved their limited time Kit Kat Beaver Tail.
