The food was the BEST part! We saw this on Yelp as we were visiting the area for the first time. We started off with Poutine and Island Museels! These were delicious! And some of the best poutine we've ever had! I got the tuna Niçoise salad and my bf got the chicken Parmesan. We were both super satisfied! Our server is originally from Seattle and we got to talking about life in Seattle and how she had moved to B.C. She was super friendly! read more

Excellent fish and chips! Crispy, hot batter-coating with tender moist fish inside, and no uncooked batter under the hot crispy crust! Both French fries and the Cole slaw were tasty. As were the pint beers on tap. (The slaw was a-typical without mayo but sweet and tangy just the same! We celebrated my birthday with a slice of yummy almond chocolate cheese cake. What a great choice for a fun and tasty dinner celebration! read more

Nice little bar diner-esque. After a morning hike, we came here for lunch! Plenty of parking and it was too busy in the late afternoon. Our waitress was friendly and was attentive my friend's needs as she is a vegan. I had a delicious salad adding salmon for protein. Also a side of the seafood chowder, which is absolute must!!! Would love one right now as I'm writing about it! Highly recommended and would definitely come back! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Patio was full so we sat inside. Awesome inside and out! Fish and chips were great, as was the beef dip, how do they make the fries soooo good?!?? Service was A+. Absolutely will be back! read more

I was nervous because I couldn't find a website, but it was the only place open at that hour. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambience. I ordered the chicken Parmesan, which was a special that night. The chicken was delightfully crisp and the pasta was delicious. My grandmother had the soup special, something like beef Thai curry, which she said was wonderful. Service was great and prices seemed fair. read more

We decided to check this place for lunch, and it turned out to be great! Love the banners and ambiance. We got a table inside close to the window which was lovely. Our hostess was so lovely and provided excellent service. We got the salmon croissant and fries for lunch and it was delicious. Great little pub in sooke. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Simple place for a decent salad or a sandwich. Friendly service. It is on the main road in Sooke. We liked the chicken sandwich and a salad we ordered. read more

Small little pub atmosphere with cozy vibe. Staff very friendly. My wife had a very good chicken ceasar salad and I would highly recommend the spicy prawns appy. read more

A total random decision to try this establishment... was very pleased with everything about our lunch experience in this roadhouse style locale. To start, plenty of wait-staff (who were clearly happy to be working there) so no delays in being approached about drinks and meals. The drinks were generous, the french dip was one of the best I've had (very lean meat and a lot of it), the pesto chicken is a great choice as well. And finishing off with dessert a very nice portion of cheesecake (they make their cakes and desserts in-house). A really enjoyable meal! read more

Good local pub with great food and wonderful ingredients. There cocktails are also great.

This restaurant never disappoints and is absolutely worth the drive in from Victoria! Though it may look unassuming from the road, you are in for a treat! A local culinary treasure for sure, Route 14 takes their food and flavours next level! They are often quite full, but there is a reason for that, and you never have to wait too long! Tonight, we enjoyed the Blackened Swordfish as well as the Chicken Parmesan. Both were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious! Huge servings, and plated beautifully. The flavours were rich and complimented each dish perfect. For dessert, we had the Blueberry White Chocolate Cheesecake and the Chocolate Bailey's Crème Bruleé to share. WOW. If you have a chance, stop and eat here. Great, friendly, and prompt service. Clean tables and restrooms. Outstanding food!! read more

Food quality was excellent and the menu has a great selection. I had the daily special which was very creative and tasty. Good vale as well. read more

This time last year we first started eating Route 14 and the food was pretty good. But in the last couple months the service and food quality has really gone downhill. Take today, I called in an order for a large fries and gravy, you'd think they couldn't mess that up right? They didn't have the order ready which is fine, but then they gave me wrong size fries and gravy, almost gave me the wrong order altogether and undercharged me for my food (I didn't notice when I paid but I checked my Visa afterwards cuz everything was messed up so I wanted to be sure I didn't pay for someone else's order). And what happened to their fries? They changed them. They're Whitespot fries now. What the heck? Undercooked, gravy was lousy too. Altogether unimpressed and I'm done with Route 14. If only Mulligans was still around. :( read more

We were left feeling very disappointed and underwhelmed with the service and food. We are very surprised at the high reviews and this was not accurate to our experience. My husband got the fish and chips while I had the chicken club sandwich with a side of clam chowder. The chips were overcooked and stale, while the club sandwich fell flat especially with the ciabatta bun, and the clam chowder needed more seasoning. We expected much more from this local joint, especially with the prices. read more

Stopped here for dinner when vacationing in Sooke and really enjoyed it. I ordered French dip sandwich and poutine with bacon bits. Both were exceptional! Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I only wish they had a better selection of microbrews but very satisfied nonetheless. read more

I had the seafood chowder and the seafood linguine - both were VERY tasty and I highly recommend them! It seems like a "locals place" and had a good amount of traffic - both for dine-in and carryout. read more

Came here last minute as they were closing their kitchen and were welcomed with open arms. Great vibes and super friendly service w/ a well rounded menu. Pleasantly surprised by the food - my honey glazed chicken burger was the perfect balance of sauce and meat. The chicken was incredibly juicy and the bun fresh and tender. read more

Fantastic meal on our way back to our hotel. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and seafood chowder with a glass of white sangria. My husband had the beef dip and chowder with a local beer on tap. The ambiance was warm and cozy. The food was tasty and to our liking. The service was excellent and helpful. And don't forget dessert! The brownie cheesecake was delish!

Great place for Canadian/Western food in Sooke! We came here on a Saturday night and the wait wasn't too long for a time. There was seating right away outside but with the heaters not working and it being a bit chilly, we opted to wait for a table. It did take a bit for our food to arrive but when it did, it was delicious! I got the poutine with added Montreal smoked meat and did think the extra $7 for the smoked meat was a bit pricey. However, no complaints about the food and would recommend! read more

We've been to Route 14 a few times and I have to say each time we enjoy it more. We first visited in March 2024 while looking for our house and I found it loud but decent food. Our second visit in June was more enjoyable. Then we visited in mid November and really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as food and service. We will go back again. Their burgers are outstanding read more

Nice, standard local pub. Friendly service. We only ordered drinks and appies. The hot chicken wings were terrible- rather than hot sauce it looked and tasted like tomato sauce and the chicken was not warm nor crispy, I don't recommend to order wings. The onion rings were standard. So the food was not great, we were glad that we didn't order dinner. But the ambiance was good for a few drinks. read more

A great little place for lunch after a hike.' We had the caprese flatbread appetizer and seafood chowder. Everything delicious, big portions and great service. read more

Went in to get a beer at the bar and ended up getting some appetizers to go with the beer,delicious! The food being ordered by other patrons looked terrific too. The server was friendly and attentive. Overall great atmosphere! Too bad it's 3500 miles from where we live, we'd be regulars. read more

Fish and chips were great; very crispy and the batter was light. Kids had original burger and was more than satisfied.

We ate there twice during our recent visit to Sooke. I had the Cuban the first time, it was very good. Had the Seafood bouillabaisse, my husband had the Arctic Char. Both meals were very good. Service is always good as well. read more

The service was friendly and the place has a nice relaxed vibe. My husband had the hunter burger with venison and beef and he said it was the best burger he has had ever. I had the fish and chips. The texture of the fish was perfect and they brought us garlic aioli on request. The slaw, however, needed more acidity. read more

Quick visit to Sooke and we were looking for a restaurant for lunch. Found this on Yelp with a four star rating and thought we would give it a try. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food as the outside seemed like a regular bar with regular bar food. We had the wings and ribs and the Tuna Niçoise salad. There was a choice of type of wings and we chose the Buffalo and blue cheese flavour. They were quite good and the ribs were cooked perfectly and were not dry. The fries were good and have good flavour and the coleslaw was excellent and not a typical tangy flavour. The Tuna Niçoise salad was very good and very filling, although there was a bit too much dressing. If you don't like too much dressing, perhaps ask for the dressing on the side. read more

Actually surprisingly good food at this stop along the highway up the coast. I would definitely recommend.

The food is consistent and reasonable but going here depends on what you are wanting in a restaurant/ pub. It's quite crowded as it's popular so it's really loud inside. The patio outside is great even though close to the road. read more

Quiet short walk for less than a mile, greeted with breeze and a tasty of sea weed in the wind.

Not your typical bar food menu. On top of your bar favorites likel burgers, fries, hot wings, etc, there are some items that really stand out! The steamed mussels, crab cakes and Charcuterie Board are definitely worth sampling. Of course, the huge selection of beers is the best way to compliment your food. The service is what you would expect for such a fast moving place. Definitelty worth a stop! read more

I liked this place. It feels like a local pub with customers walking in for a post work or lunch beer and the bartender knows exactly what they want and adressess them by their first name. My wife and I both had salads which were tasty and fresh. Service was good, prices were fair and decent beer. I have all the time in the world for places that clearly keep the locals coming back and treat them like not just another customer. I'll be back..... read more

After a great hike on the potholes river hike we found ourselves headed over to Route 14. Great place to sit outside and get a generous sized meal...we shared and there was lots. Very tasty!! Would have liked for our server not to throw our plates on the table and be so rude but maybe that's asking too much of the young staff of today. Still tipped generously...hope she felt bad for the poor service. read more

We had 2 wonderful meals at Route 14 over the 4th weekend. The fish and chips were epic. The second night we had appetizers - calamari and crab egg rolls, and their great Caesar salad. The calamari was the best I've ever had ! And the crab egg rolls were marvelous. Can't say enough good things. Can't wait to come back. Yay Route 14 in Sooke. read more
