Goat Jack's was a former White Spot which was renovated for new ownership. Unfortunately shortly before they were to reopen a truck was left in neutral at the top of the parking lot and rolled down the slope crashing into the newly renovated restaurant. Thankfully repairs were done and Jacks opened. It's a nice space, maybe a little dark, but with a bright bar area. We were quickly seated in the back left in a very large booth for the four of us. The menu features wings, but has other offerings as well. The lovely K ordered the wings with hot sauce and the nachos, neither of which she found to be very good. I had the BBQ burger, and fries, both of which were pretty good. Taste is a personal matter, but service isn't, and our server was excellent. Her only faux pas was filled our friend's Mike's Hard lemonade glass with water when it was almost empty while she had a full water glass beside. She apologized program's fetched Val another Mike's on the house. The four was more about the service than the food, but again taste is a personal thing, but you can't beat great service. They just have to get the food up a half a notch in our opinion.

Waited 30 min for a table, (not a booth as requested) with very uncomfortable plastic chairs. Only…read more2 small benches for waiting, so had to stand. Would have been longer but the people in front of us gave up and left. Could see many empty tables, but was told they were reserved. They sat empty well after we were seated; what a waste. The hostess was like a deer in the headlights, when she seated us we learned she was also our waitress! We came for cod (Have since learned it is rockfish) & chips special, but the price was only reduced from $24 to $21, not a great deal. The food took a long time to come. We noticed people who had come after us finishing before we got ours. The fish looked beautiful, and the batter nice and crispy, but the fish was very dry and very fishy tasting. The fries underneath were greasy and soggy. The tarter sauce was runny, and the coleslaw lacked dressing. We would have sent it back but never saw the waitress again until she brought the bill, and took our plates. We made a point of telling her to which she only said "I'll pass that on to the chef". We won't be back, and do not recommend. There are many many better choices in town.

Met some friends here for dinner after a wonderful dinner the night before at another local place…read moreserving far different fare. The interior is very plain, and somewhat looks thrown together, and that's ok. It's not trying to be anything other than what it is, no apologies. When your claim to fame is a dinner, or lunch, on top of a Caesar in a glass, you are kind of throwing up your middle in defiance aren't you. The service was good, everything was well taken care of. The food itself is good and quite abundant. K's wings were very nicely cooked and quite plump. The sauce was meh, but that's a personal choice. The taco salad, which we shared was quite good as well, but the taco chips could have been of a better quality, or better yet made in house. My beef dip was pretty good, not fatty at all which is a turn off for me. Fries were abundant, but the au jus needed a helping hand. Our guests had wings as well and a hot chicken sandwich. Both were quite good as well. I could have seen a five star, and it was quite close, just not quite there. We'd go again though next time we are in Parksville!

I was really wanting a good burger & seen location listed in what I think is called the "taste of…read morethe Island" for local restaurant features of Parksville & Qualicum Beach. I was surprised to find them still open on a week night in Nov but on Remembrance Day, I felt I hit the jackpot. I suspect I wasn't the only one searching for good food options, as the limited seating indoors filled up quickly. The burger was really good (and they prepare you for messy - with the heap of napkins delivered to the table) but it was the parm fries that sent the supper over the top. So much, that I actually had to stop myself eating the parm fries & the delicious dip & enjoy the burger while still hot. I actually took leftover fries home - that's a very rare thing for me to do. The strawberry milkshake was tasty on its own & I wasn't prepared for the brownie chunk that accompanied it (I truly had dessert before supper that night!). There's covered outdoor seating but I suspect they weren't expecting a huge crowd as I didn't feel any heat as I walked by both covered areas to wait to be seated in the restaurant. There's street parking & as well, a uniquely configured smaller parking lot area that I assume the restaurant & the nearby shops share. Staff was all very friendly & even though I was my myself & wasn't there long, I enjoyed the atmosphere. For those that worry about a washroom axes, this legit was right in the front & big enough for any accessible aid logistics to maneuver within. Nothing blocking access to it either (amazing for such a small indoor space). Lastly, if you're picking up the food, this is near to all the big hotels by the boardwalk & beach. So perfect walking distance for those that want to take to enjoy elsewhere.

The cheese curds were also pretty rubbery on the outside (not sure if this is typical for cheese curds though) Overall olid portion for the price and my boyfriend who actually likes poutine liked it so I think this is still 4 stars

The place is pretty big and was very busy. It seems like a lot of regulars hit this spot up. I was surprised at the cost of their falafel platter - $20. But the food amount is easily 2 to 3 meals. The website states it comes with Falafel, served with rice, hummus, baba ganough, green salad, tabouleh salad, pickles, with tahini and hot sauce. Note: It does not come with baba or tabouleh. It was a bit sad to see them microwaving the rice and falafel. And they used the same tongues they used for the meat as the falafels. However, the food was good. The pomegranate dressing in the salad was nice. The falafels are huge and the homemade green sauce they add is delicious. The garlic sauce is amazing and I wished we had more. The folks behind the counter really care about the customers. Very friendly and wonderful to interact with!
