It is situated in a very cute space and loved that it was dairy free with a creamy dressing. Good balance of veggies and rice made me feel very healthy with my meal choices :) My friends shared the grilled cheese and chicken sandwich and said both were very delicious, but the grilled cheese just barely edged out the chicken sandwich as the more delicious option. However, personally I think the sandwich portions seemed a bit small for my appetite and I would probably have needed to add a soup on the side to feel full. Order at the counter, grab a number and table and your food will be brought to you. Water is self serve and they also sell coffee beans to go.

First time ever as a Canadian in Qualicum and I am ashamed I've never been. We coasted down Island…read moreHighway and passed by this, I made my partner turn the car around. Shore is exactly where it says... on the shore of stunning Qualicum beach. It reminded me of being in Hawaii. We walked into a very short line during lunch and placed an order for a burger, shrimp tacos, fries and two root beer milkshakes. We were given a buzzer and waited. All tables were full but they clear out fast. The ladies who took our orders were super sweet and even asked how we enjoyed our meal. Prices were normal for being on the island. The spicy shrimp tacos were fire . Nice and clean washroom there. Side table with all condiments and water. Really family friendly and lots of parking. Cant wait to come back!

You name it in the seafood line they are number one. Lindy and Steve are absolutely amazing and Lindy is an absolute sweetheart , with her amazing smile and Steves nice too lol Sometimes we drop a table and eat in other times we just bring a blanket or sit on a park bench and do the takeout method . Either way I've never had a meal there that does not rank a 10 out of 10 then if you still got room, you grab an ice cream and then you go home and sit on the couch rubbing your full belly lol well that's what I do anyways. I love everything about Shore Restaurant so does Leeanne we never think twice about where we should go eat we just go "let's go to Shore.! "

Waitress walked off and never came back with my water. Had to track her down twice to request water before I finally got water. Ordered basted eggs with English muffin, got eggs over medium with whole grain toast. Politely said, I actually ordered English muffin, (did not mention that I didn't order fried eggs) she said "are you sure you don't want the toast? I said, no, I would like the English muffin. She walked off and served several other tables and started filling their drink orders. My husband tracked down a different person to get my English muffin, by then my not basted eggs were cold. I get it, mistakes happen to the best of us. A simple acknowledgment or apology would have been welcome, but not a word. It made me feel like I was the one being difficult and I hate being that person. It isn't cheap eats, so I simply wanted what I paid for. The fried potato hash towns were tasty and well seasoned, the eggs (however they were cooked) were good enough. Overall the food is what you expect for a traditional breakfast. If you don't expect amazing service you will enjoy the meal well enough.

Though normally me and my friend go for breakfast, we decided try out the relatively new dinner menu revamp. I had the Barrier Reef Melt with the Clam Chowder as a side. Starting with the Clam Chowder, I unfortunately can't recommend this dish. It tasted too similarly to Campbells Chunky Clam Chowder. It was mostly a potato chowder with the small amount of clams it had. The clams in there weirdly tasted slightly like ham lol. It was only an extra $1.50 to add onto my main and even though it wasn't my favorite, that's a very reasonable add-on price. As for the Barrier Reef Melt, I did enjoy it. Although a slight warning, it is quite small, so this dish would be better suited if your looking for something lighter (Though it is quite rich). Oh and its not a sandwich, it's one piece of ciabatta bread open faced, cut in two. It is under the "Sanga" section in the menu so I'm sure this is a common mistake. At $21.50 ($23 with the chowder) for this plate, I do think it is a bit much for the portion size, but not an unheard of price for a seafood based dish. Overall Boomerangs is a great spot for breakfast or brunch, especially if your on your way down to the West Coast. It is not just Australian themed in name but also has Outback decor around the whole restaurant. Even though I wasn't wowed by my dinner, they have a big menu and I'm sure I'll be back to try more.

We were warmly greeted by the bartender as we sat down, and we ordered a beer and a cider. Their selection is very good, and they also have a full bar. For lunch, my husband ordered the Beef Dip sandwich and he loved it. I had a bite of it and concur. The au jus was especially delicious. I ordered the 1-piece fish 'n' chips and was very happy with my choice. The batter was really tasty and the portion of fish was generous. The house made coleslaw was the best I've had in a long time - not too sweet or over-sauced, with a nice crunch to it. Also, their fries were amazing. I can't speak to dining on the restaurant side or patio, but we thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks and service in the pub.

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!
