    Inside. 5 tables only. Looks like this is a donut shop too!

    Order at desk. They bring your food. A lot of Uber eats and only a few places to sit. Very smalll. Recommended by co workers. Had the snapper and fires with clam chowder. View is right by the boats and tours. Wasn't really sure how to get to. Parked in 2 hr parking at public park and walked into marina area. Omg that was the best fish I have ever eaten. I would highly recommend this place. It is a hole on the wall gem !

    The fish was great. Not overly battered and perfectly crispy. The garlic and Parmesan fries were also really good. Get there early though because I think we came right during the rush and they were out of quite a few things we wanted to order.

    We came here from Qualicum beach for a drive and of course fish and chips. We were going to go somewhere else, but the way they answered the phone was rude. To the fish (halibut) it is was lightly battered and the fish was fresh, just melted in your mouth. The fish had nice colour. The grilled halibut was delicious. The fish was moist and cooked to perfection. The taste buds were dancing just from the fish. The fries were good not too oily. The onion rings were delicious. Crispy and well cooked. I couldn't believe how good they were. The coleslaw was a nice touch to the cut of deep fried food taste. The tartar sauce was delicious. And finally the staff, they were very knowledgeable about their product and I found them very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place for fish and chips and of course I will be back!

    Cool restaurant it floats on the water! Good pricing and excellent service! Has lots of history behind the restaurant. Fish was really good I like mine a little more crunchy though. We also ordered grilled oysters and they gave us fried but all in all good place to go eat! Calamari was AMAZING

    In this location's previous life as a different business, it was merely a walk up fish n chip window with a few seats inside and a handful of tables outside. Things have changed. Dockside Fish and chips has been in business at this incredible location for over a year now. It's located floating in the Coast Marina, a small marina it shares with a few other businesses and a couple small docks. Right near the ferry terminal that services Quadra Island, Dockside has ample seating outside and quite a few tables inside as well. The newly renovated interior shares space with the compact, efficient kitchen separated by a counter. I really love the feel of sitting outside, bobbing up and down with the waves. Dockside has table service and is licensed, which makes it a great little secret spot to have a beer from the limited selection that they offer and just enjoy the sea air on a warm day. The food, however, is mediocre bordering on.... read the complete review at: www.vagrantfoodies.blogspot.ca

    Yummy fried fish and onion rings. Terrible fries. The poutine sauce had a strong beef flavor.

    The best halibut fish & chips ever. Dockside is a bistro but the food is comparable to a 5* restaurant. Highly recommended!

After driving for about 1.5 hours and find Sue's B & B and Brown's Bay Marina Restaurant both closed, we were super hungry when we finally arrived at this place. This is a really small "hut" and when we approached, we weren't even sure whether there is real food or it's just a convenience store. We were SUPER excited when we discovered that they served food. The place was small, cozy, and packed with people. There was only a lady cooking in a home-style kitchen, so don't expect your food to arrive that quickly. People also seemed to know each other, and I've never felt that way in Vancouver before. My husband ordered a seafood chowder and salmon grilled cheese while I ordered a seafood melt. The portions were very generous, and the food was SUPER good. DID NOT expect food to be at that quality AT ALL when we first entered. Highly recommend this place for anybody going to Campbell River for whatever reason. One thing special to note is that they allow dogs to go in, so some people may have problems with that. I love dogs though.

At a…read morerestaurant of this caliber, where the dining experience comes at a premium, we expected service to match. Unfortunately, it fell far short of what one would reasonably expect from a fine dining establishment. My husband and I had a very disappointing experience here this evening, especially considering the price point. We spent $200 on a mussel appetizer, halibut, and lobster, expecting a fine dining experience--but the service fell far below that standard. As people in recovery sober for over three and a half years, we specifically ordered virgin drinks, yet were served mussels prepared in a wine-based sauce recommended by the server. I also received the wrong drink twice. Most frustrating of all, we waited over an hour for our entrées while a nearby table of six was seated, served, and finished their meal before ours even arrived. When we tried to understand what maybe taking place behind the scenes and asked if they were short staffed with the chefs in the kitchen. We were met with rudeness and told our seafood needed its own ovens to cook in. For being the only ones in the restaurant filled with a horrible ambience I can see why others have said the same. It's always best to check the reviews. They may just favor locals. We were truly looking forward to this meal, but left feeling disappointed and overlooked. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this restaurant and would advise others to dine elsewhere.
