    Two Egg Special (w an extra added egg)
    Liz W.

    Came here on a rainy chilly Friday morning at 9am before heading up to Whistler. The restaurant feel is eclectic, cozy and welcoming. Has a very cabin and coastal feeling. Lots of open seating - the server Cass was super friendly and provided amazing service. We ordered hot black tea and a hot chocolate with whipped cream (of course). Both drinks were piping hot - which I love! I got the Spa ish Omelette and my Fiancé ordered the Two Egg Special with an extra egg. Both dishes were great. Hit the spot before a long drive. If we were ever back in the area I'd come here again.

    The best fish and chip an ever! Mother's Day treat in Horseshoe Bay. There is nothing like the ocean, food weather and a celebration to wet the appetite for the mainstay fish n chips place in the lower mainland. Fast welcoming service and the best venue to have a huge plate of the moist but crunchy fish and tasty fries that keep us going back for more. Don't miss the opportunity to visit and take in this gem!

    Our party of 18 dined at Trolls for lunch. We didn't have a reservation and chanced upon getting a table. After 5 minutes, we were seated in 3 tables of 6 which was perfect. Our waiter was attentive and we got our food in a reasonable amount of time. Just as any big party, there's always one who does not get their food with the rest of the group. Luckily, it was only a sandwich and it came shortly after. The food is ok and the service good. The place is quaint and location perfect in HorseshoeBay. Our tour guide told us to try the fish and chips which was the specialty. Unfortunately, no one complied and stuck with soups and sandwiches .

    We came ate here while waiting for the ferry out out of Vancouver. At first I thought it would be weird to have brunch at a fish and chips but it wasn't bad at all! Good food and service. Nice views.

    So call crab cake hash brown bowl ‍‍

    This is the 3rd time I've been here while waiting for the ferries and it just gets worse..... my bro and I had the crab cake hash brown bowl and it turned out to be more like dry falafel pucks on potato wedges covered in crazy thick hollandaise sauce, it was dry, probably not even crab and $25 bucks. I'm a pretty good cook and when a garnish is literally two threads of green onion, that's sad. On top of this, the server spent 20 minutes talking to her friend and the end of the patio while we all waited for coffee and cutlery, I literally got the coffee jug my self and topped everyone up. I would definitely not be going back and with we saved $40 and went to Starbucks. Place straight up sucks !

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE With a view of the bay and good food and service on tap, there's a lot to like about Trolls if you can get past the relatively high prices! === 2. FOOD Fried Calamari ($16): As an appetizer, it works for up to two people. There is an argument that the portion (and/or individual pieces) are quite small, particularly for the price. Joe's Fish Stew ($23): If the price doesn't floor you, you would be relieved to know that the portion is large enough for two people to share and they don't hold back on the pieces of cod, halibut, salmon, and baby shrimp! It does come with two jumbo shrimp and two pieces of garlic toast. Kid's Meal ($9.50): This is likely the best value on the menu: for this price it includes your choice of beverage (we chose milk), a one-piece fish and chips entree (large enough for an adult, really - the fries are fresh-cut from potatoes) and two scoops of ice cream with your choice of strawberry or chocolate syrup. I only wish kids of all ages could order this :) === 3. SERVICE The service was great - friendly and quite attentive. They told us it's family-run, and that is believable. === 4. ENVIRONMENT As a fellow Yelper mentioned, it looks like a diner on the inside...old-school wood decor with a canoe hanging from the ceiling and a "chef" caricature stuck in the middle of a wall. But the light is tremendous, with big windows on two sides, including views of Horseshoe Bay. Wheelchairs and baby strollers could fit...but only just. Parking is available across the street and along nearby streets.

    Fisherman's breakfast

    We came here to get breakfast and I ended up getting the "Fisherman's Breakfast" which had scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. I found everything to be a bit dry especially the hash browns and bacon. Overall, I didn't think it was anything too special but an okay place to grab breakfast if looking for something near the ferry terminal.

    Kids menu

    Walked in around 2pm on a Sunday... The front hosts didn't acknowledge me when I walked in so I did have to wait a couple of minutes before they finally acknowledge the fact that I was there, took down my name and then I got seated right away. We were told to leave our stroller by the entrance and that the staff would keep an eye on it for us. We got a booth by the window so we had a nice view when we had our lunch. They gave us the menus and a kids menu (coloring page) for us, some water and a closed lid kids water. Their menu was quite extensive but since the name of the restaurant contains fish and chips, that was exactly what we ordered. We got the cod fish & chips, cod burger, kids halibut & chips, and also their white clam chowder. The cod fish & chips was actually really delicious. The batter to fish ratio was perfect. Their fries were plain but it was good after we added some salt & pepper. The kids halibut & chips ($16) was basically one adult sized piece of fish with fries. So it was very worth it! The halibut was very soft, flaky and fresh. The kids meal also included a children drink as well as an ice cream cone for dessert. The cod burger ($19) was a giant piece of cod inside a burger with lettuce, tomato, onion & pickles. That was also very good too. I quite enjoyed the clam chowder ($15 for entree size) , although I did have to add some salt to it. But better under salted than over salted so everyone can customize it to their taste! We walked out of the restaurant super full as their portions are quite large and very delicious! Would definitely come back again!

    Troll's is self proclaimed home to the best fish and chips in Horseshoe Bay. The windows overlook majestic views which adds to theoe charm. We tried the halibut and cod fish and chips. The dish came with coleslaw and tartar sauce. The portions were great considering each piece was about 19 bucks. However, I feel this place is a touristy place because after the first bite you will realize that the fish is not extraordinary tasting. Hell! The outside batter was not even crunchy. The fries were good though. An unexpected find at this place was the long island iced tea. I have never been a big fan of it but they had one of the most delicious LIIT I have ever had. If you are ever in the area and visit Troll's, I would suggest passing on the fish and chips but definitely trying their LIIT

I left my water and soda to drink them later after heading to washroom. Staff cleared my water and soda away. I still had half of soda in it. I felt thirsty after eating my food in the end. It'd have been nice if she asked me first before clearing dishes. I don't think I'll go back.

Plenty of free street parking options close by.
