Each couple split a brisket plate, and I got an extra side of coleslaw and cowboy beans. Food was FAST and was lovingly brought out to us - very kind! Note: if you're bringing a furry friend, you'll need to sit at the tables on the grass, the deck is not dog friendly. Now the food. We all found that the brisket leaned dry, but had good flavor. Paired with the sauce it was a nice time! The sides really shined, and all of them felt well made. If you're into beans and slaw, this is a good place for those. The pricing felt typical for island fare. Would definitely come back to try some other dishes!

A Hidden Gem for Healthy Fast Food Lovers…read more I've been here several times now, and it's quickly become one of my go-to spots -- especially on those rushed mornings when breakfast or lunch just doesn't happen. What makes this place stand out is how well it balances convenience with clean eating. Whether you're counting calories, tracking your protein, or just trying to make better food choices, this is one of the rare spots where "fast food" doesn't mean compromising on nutrition or quality. You can eat healthy here -- like, actually healthy -- without it being boring or bland. Everything is made fresh right in front of you, and you can really see the care that goes into prepping each meal. The menu has plenty of variety, with something for just about every dietary need or craving -- from protein-packed meals to lighter options. The staff is consistently warm and professional. They greet you with a smile, remember your face (and sometimes even your usual order), and make you feel genuinely welcome. That kind of service is rare these days. The space itself is small but cozy -- not crowded or chaotic. It's got a chill vibe that makes it easy to sit down, take a breath, and enjoy your food in peace.

This time of year in Parksville is pretty quiet, most places make hay in the summer and shutter for the slow season All of our food was delicious, prepared with care. Now to be fair there was hardly anyone in the place other than us five, so the kitchen wasn't slammed with people. That all said we enjoyed a wonderful, if somewhat pricey dinner, that would bring us back again!

I was just traveling through from Sointula back to Oregon via WA (going to see the amazing Byron Katie!) and since I was staying over night I needed to eeeeeat. I only had water, but it was very good water (don't snicker, some water tastes like sadness in a glass.) The wait staff was classy, attentive, friendly but not in your face familiar (which always makes me want to look for exit signs before I can relax enough to eat.) The atmosphere is better than average for a pub. Really enjoyed it. If you're wondering if you should bother to stop, the answer is yes. By the way, I didn't partake, but the patron next to me was eating wings (49 cent special) and some really amazing looking dark beer (I'm GF ). Wish this place were closer to where I live...

I chose the has browns and added a side of sourdough. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon nice and crispy as specified, along with a slice of tomato and some fresh basil which was a nice touch. My London Fog left a little to be desired, but that was but a small blemish in an otherwise excellent breakfast/brunch! If you are in Parksville I'd heartily recommend the Brazen Poppy Bakery Cafe.
