After a day of hiking the trails and beaches nothing beats the fresh and delicious food here. My wife had the chowder which was loaded with nice chunks of fish. I had the salmon tacos which were 3 decent sized pieces of golden battered salmon with salsa and a tasty sauce. read more

Fresh and delicious. Came for lunch, we had the oyster burger which was life changing. My hubby had the wild shrimp burger, so so so good. Shared the Westcoast pouting, would have skipped this it was good but not great. Seating is outdoors and really charming setup. Staff was friendly and provided great recommendations. One of my favorite places on the island. read more

Wildside Grill - Seafood Near Me

Wildside Grill was amazingly delicious! I highly recommend their Fish and Chips and Smoked Salmon Chowder. Both items were the best I've ever had, they are MUST HAVES. Their tacos were delicious too and definitely does not lose against Tacofino, which was just a few steps away. We ate at Wildside 2 times for the 3 days that we were visiting Tofino, YUM! read more

Everything good and nothing bad. Order anything, you won't be disappointed. Fish and chips, fish sandwich, gumbo...all to die for. Cool ambience, reminiscent of Hawaii of all places. read more

Decent place, very slow because the kitchen is tiny and they can't produce the orders quickly enough. Food is good for the price so would have had 4 stars if they could have produced our meal for 4 which included three orders of fish tacos in less then 40 mins. read more

Solid, solid little food truck with a big ol menu and groovy outdoor seating area to park yourself on as you dig in. Ordered the po boy and it was mighty delicious. And how cool is it that they catch most (all?) of what you order? If your in Tofino and and need the tasty food- go here. read more

Very tasty fish&chips and tacos. Unfortenately it's not open till late so more lunch/early dinner place. Note that it is a self service place, so order and gather your tasty comfortfood at the counter. The salmon taco was great!! read more

The grill's credit card machine went down, we were told that the order would be put through and just to wait, and about thirty minutes later as my two year old was getting even more restless because he had not had his dinner and another person was served before us, we were finally told that we could not be served because of their machine being down. No effort was made to figure out an alternative. No food was ever made. Total incompetence. read more

For the first time in all the times we have visited the wildside grill the experience was less than stellar. Our fish was so overcooked it was dry. The fries were shrivelled and the coleslaw sloppy wet. What a disappointment !! I am sure it is a one off but yuck! We will be back because it is usually so so good but again what a huge disappointment. read more

Don't miss this place!!! A small shack tucked away in a drive in kind of place with a few more cafes around. One of the freshest and best fish tacos I have ever had. My wife was raving over her vegetarian burger. Wish I had gone here more than once during our brief stay in Tofino. Highly recommend trying this place out. read more

Best fish tacos in Tofino! Tried them for the first time last year on vacation, and when I moved here last month, this was the first stop I made on my way into town! This is the place I would recommend to anyone! Their cod fish and chips is also really good, and the price is super reasonable. It tastes super fresh. read more

Excellent fast food seafood. My wife had the cod fish n chips and the fries were super fresh and perfectly salted and her cod was fresh and not super greasy. I personally prefer a flakier batter, this place makes a crispier one but it was still quite good. I had the gumbo and it was amazing. Tons of a flavour without being too spicy (my wife is very sensitive to spice and she had a few bites of mine and loved it - so not too spicy). I also ordered a ceasar salad and the homemade croutons were a amazing. Service was excelled but since the food is prepared fresh it does take a little longer than traditional "fast food". I would say we waited about 7-10 minutes for our food. Portions are quite large and neither of us could finish our meals. Would definitely come back! read more

There are not many choices for food in Tofino but this small little shack will be a good to go place. I had half a cup of chowder. It was filled with salmon and loads of other goodies. Has the perfect creamyness and saltiness and was surprisingly filling for a whole meal. We tried the cod fish and chips. The cod was thick and fresh and my hubby loved the pulled pork tacos. He will definitely get the tacos again. Otherwise, we were a little disappointed in the kids menu. $8 for two small chicken strips on a bed of soggy fries. read more

Wildside Grill - Seafood Near Me

Ordered the vegan burger plus fries, for the exorbitant $15. Very slow service, food was very average, and way overpriced. Wouldn't recommend it. read more

4.5. Excellent food. If you can't stand the Tacofino lineup then walk over here. I had the tuna burger (perfectly seared) and my wife had salmon and chips. Fries are excellent. Service is quick and we were eating long before we would have managed to even order at Tacofino. Great lunch spot. Good value. Large portions. I would go again. read more

Awesome food and super friendly staff. Prices great too, considering the tourist traffic.

Had an awesome lunch here, hit the spot perfectly. Cool setting, fast, great staff and super fresh burgers. Homemade fries where some of the best I've had and I wish more places did them the same! If your in the area you should defiantly check this place out as one of the best local cheap eats. read more

This is one of the best places to eat in Tofino. Love the fish and chips. The fish is cook perfectly and they are big pieces. Chowder and salads are great as well. read more

Nice and fresh cod and chips. My wife had the large size gumbo chowder. Probably the best bang for your money. Good size portion as well friendly staff Recommended read more

$$ - When staying or visiting Tofino, try this place out for lunch. The Wildsteel Grill has a large menu with everything from tacos to pulled pork poutine. Definitely something for everyone. Chef was very friendly and I specifically had the pulled pork poutine which was quite large but very delicious. read more

Wildside Grill - Fish tacos - Seafood Near Me

Fantastic "roadside stand" just outside of Tofino town. My family and I eat here twice during our trip an were blown away each time. The grill features fresh fish tacos and burgers - the fish is caught that morning. They had amazing carnitas and a terrific version of won ton soup. Its an eclectic place with outdoor seating, but its not to be missed read more

Best oyster burger I have ever had! Perfectly crunchy panko crusted oysters with bacon and cole slaw -- it was a special kind, not their regular oyster burger, I think. Half way into it, I wanted to eat another one. Definitely a highlight from my Tofino trip. The gumbo was pretty good, too, but definitely get the oyster burger if you're at all curious. read more

Terrific everything! My husband says the best burgers he's ever eaten. Will not miss this when in Tofino

Quite possibly the best Cod Fish & Chips I have ever eaten - cod was lightly battered then crusted in panko bread crumbs before being deep fried to tender perfection, crunchy on the outside, tender flaky perfectly cooked fish inside - fabulous! The accompanying coleslaw was a disappointment- needs a kick of something, like vinegar, dill, celery seed, pepper. But, I will be dreaming of that perfect cod for quite some time... read more

Great food. First time in tofino (stayed 1 week) and we kept coming back! Tried almost every item, servings are huge, laid back, super fresh. Only reason i have 3 star is there was a strong smell of sewer/staff wasn't friendly. read more

This place is the bomb! Best fish n chips around! Stopped by on the advice of some locals and wasn't disappointed. I'll be back for more!

Great tacos and burritos with very generous serving sizes. The staff was friendly and it has a nice covered area with seating.

So maybe you're thinking that Tofino is too small for 5 star food....wrong. We heard that the fish tacos were amazing at Wildside so as a Southern Californian (home of the fish tacos) I set out to see what the fuss was about. For starters Canadians are very friendly and that makes a dining experience a plus. The staff here was rolling with enthusiasm. I ordered the fish tacos. Three to a basket. In a light batter fried perfectly and served with their avotomatillo (avocado and tomatillo salsa). We sat outside and had a lovely evening. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavor, great atmosphere, good service....yup, it's a 5 star read more

Great spot for a quick and tasty meal just outside of Tofino - worth the drive! And amazing ice cream for desert!

Been two days in a row now for lunch, that says something, right? Had the gumbo the 1st day and the pulled pork today, both amazingly duh-licious. Highly recommend stopping by for a quick bite read more

Really tasty food. Lots of variety. Fish Tacos were quite good, as was the poutine. My only issue is that for a place with communal bird pooped on, outside seating, it's really expensive. The same prices you'd pay in a restaurant in town. read more

Awesome burgers! Love their service and location! Super friendly and great burgers. Fries are good as well, tacos are okay.

Be prepared. This is casual eating, where you order from a window and sit outside in the lovely garden to eat your food. We had grilled salmon (the menu only mentions fish and chips, but you can get the fish grilled instead of battered, just ask), a divine gumbo that tasted more like chowder, and lingcod fish tacos. A very happy eating experience. read more

Oyster burger was deadly!!! Poutine and burgers were good as well

Everything on the menu is always fresh and a taste sensation. My personal favorite is the single salmon with half the fries and extra cole slaw but the fish tacos are a close second or is it the fish and chips wait maybe the burger ah well you get the picture. read more

Another "must-eat" place in Tofino. Great gumbo and various real fish burgers... I ordered cod fish'n chips but they gave me a halibut fish'n chips. Surprise! They were great. I think I need to go back there to get cod fish'n chips... read more

Excellent food!!!! The tuna burger was to die for and grab a fork for the fish tacos because you won't leave anything behind

The chowder was absolutely delicious, very rich. You can't eat too much of it but great for sharing. The chicken burger is very tasty but messy. You need lots of napkins. Would definitely go back and try some of the other menu items. My stomach is just not big enough to order more than one item. read more

We went here twice during our stay in Tofino and both times were amazing. The fresh albacore tuna burger and the salmon burger. Both are highly recommended, though I personally liked the tuna more. You can substitute the fries for poutine for an extra $2, which is totally worth it. Also had the gumbo poutine, but prefer the regular poutine. read more

A friend recommended this place. I was a bit surprised when it wasn't a traditional restaurant or cafe. Its a walk up window with outside seating ( that is covered from the elements but not heated). The folks at the window were friendly. They had lots of yummy options, fish tacos, fish and chips, coleslaw, chowders, sandwiches and more. My friend had the salmon burger it had a beautiful piece of fresh fish on it ( was not ground up like a burger) that was delicious. I had the halibut fish and chips. I got two pieces and believe it was 20 dollars. I personally like beer battered fish and chips and this had more of a bread crumb type batter. The fish was good but the coating didn't do it for me. I also thought the menu was all a touch overpriced for being a walk up window. It was one of the more reasonably priced places to eat around Tofino. I'd recommend it to anyone in town. There is a taco truck in the back of this enclave as well called Tacofino that's supposed to be awesome too! read more
