I arrived at 11:30am to learn the restaurant didn't open until noon. I decided to wait so went for…read morea walk returning at 11:55am to discover most of the tables were taken. The server told me there were no seats available even though I could see one seat at the bar/window. Disappointed, I asked if I could order to-go and was directed to the owner behind the till. I told her that I really enjoyed the burger I'd had on my first visit so wanted to order the same thing. 'THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT BURGER, START OVER!!' I was completely taken aback by the condescending tone. Once my order was entered, she handed me the payment terminal so I could pay and walked away. When she returned, she didn't look at me, instead focused on the payment terminal. Then she looked at me and hollered "NO TIP!! SERIOUSLY!! After we put you in front of all these other people!" This was said in front of the entire restaurant which was completely embarrassing and humiliating. I was totally shocked! As someone who has worked in restaurants and tourism around the world I always tip - even on take-out orders!! The exception is when I get bad service. How would I have known that I was 'put in front of other customers?' I don't work there and it's irrelevant! TIPPING IS DISCRETIONARY, especially on a take-out order. A prudent, professional owner wouldn't comment if a guest didn't tip - or, would ask if there was a problem with the service. The burgers might be top-tier, but the owner's rude behavior makes this a zero-star experience

Maggie's Fish and Chips serves up absolutely stellar top notch fish and chips. The batter is thin…read moreand crispy without being greasy. The portion of fish in each piece was quite substantial. Our party ordered cod, red snapper and Ling cod. Every piece was cooked to perfection; meaty and tastey. The fries were hand cut and fried perfectly. They stress fresh oil and wild caught fish is used to prepare the orders. I will definetly be going back to Maggie's because the quality is equal or exceeds Red Fin Blue Fin in Victoria. There are about maybe 10 to 12 tables and counter seating. Not a fancy restuarant because after all, it is a seafood store. Maggie is very friendly and there is a self serve water station. You order at the till and the food is brought to your table. She totally gets a two thumbs up from me.

A great family run local restaurant in Chemainus. While visiting my brother, my family came here…read morefor dinner one night. It was really busy, so there was a big of a wait for a table, but it was definitely worth the wait. They have an extensive menu with lots of different types of options, as well as daily specials. I had the halibut burger. I loved the dill mayo, and the halibut was perfectly breaded and fried. I had it with a side of onion rings. For dessert I had the peach pie. It was to die for. The crust gave me memories of my grandma. The service was very friendly. You could tell this place was a staple of the community with people coming in for take out orders or paying their bills and the staff knew all about them and their families. I look forward to eating here again when I visit.

Not only was it a good value because it came with prawn tacos to start and a large amount of coleslaw+fries, but everything was so hot and fresh. The batter was airy and light, both the fish and fries were very crispy and hot. There are both salmon and cod. I usually find that if the fish is salmon they overcook it and it tends to be dry, but this was perfect. They even gave us an extra piece of cod.
