We were walking around Old Country Market on the verge of hanger, so we decided to have a quick…read morelunch at the Ice Cream Parlour. Don't make the same mistake we did! I regretted ordering food pretty immediately, as I watched the staff prepare orders while I waited. In the unreasonably long time it took for a hot dog, fries, and hamburger to be made, I witnessed two embarrassing altercations between staff members, and saw a staff recovering from a nose bleed with a tissue in one nostril (and still behind the counter?!). The fries and microwaved hot dog were fine, but the hamburger was inedible. My friend described it as the worst burger she has ever had. We honestly weren't sure if it was beef. This place is clearly a tourist trap. Unfortunately, we didn't have Internet at the time to be able to check Yelp. Maybe the ice cream is okay (we didn't try it), but stay away.

During the summer months, we eat at Shore at least 3 to 4 times a month. It is our go to place for…read morethe best codburger, fish tacos, fish and chips. 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.! "

Solid establishment for getting tacos and burgers. The burger (according to our teenager) was…read more"pretty good". The fish tacos were fair. We are from a fishing port so we weren't amazed but it's a very pretty spot right on the beach with shade and the food was "pretty good". Our rating is 4 to reflect our expectations. We were hungry and the food did not disappoint.

Meh Food was good enough for breakfast. Not fancy, and not bad. The service was complete…read moredisappointment. Ordered water, got coffee. My husband said- no problem, he would keep the coffee. 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.

The burger was made with some kind of magic or something, i dont know for sure but maybe Bigfoot had something to do with it.

We were driving up from Nanaimo to Fanny Bay and decided to make a pit stop here for lunch. What a…read moregreat decision that was! They have patio seating and a nice open area for ordering lineups and parking. We got a couple items and they were all fresh, delicious, and generous in portion size. Although they're mostly known for burgers, we ordered a fish and chips for variety. It came with 2 large pieces of lightly battered fish, crispy on the outside and flakey fish inside without being heavily oily. The coleslaw it came with was the only thing we didn't enjoy, as it was too creamy and didn't have much flavor. We got three burgers: 5 alarm, classic and little foot. All the burgers had a delicious beef patty which was juicy inside, a little crispy outside and just enough char flavor (not burnt). 5 alarm had deep fried jalapenos which was quite a pleasant surprise. The classic was a good size and well-balanced. The Little Foot was the priciest of the 3 but definitely worth the extra dollars as it comes packed with goodies! Requires some assembly, but what a beauty when it's all put together! Overall it was a wonderful experience for amazing burgers and worth the drive out! Reasonable prices for generous portions!!

Too many negative discussions on Facebook about old Tans and then it becoming Driftwood and then condemned for health reasons. Now back to Tans. For the new business to flourish please update the information, and get rid of the old website information. We went to old Tans years ago, we were disappointed, we tried Driftwood when it changed over...disappointed!! Now, not sure if we want to try Tans.

So very disappointed in the buffet we had tonight at Tan's in Parksville. The pans of food were…read morenear empty and what was left in them was definitely old dried out options, however the cooks were sitting down to a fresh table of food they had prepared for themselves . Guests were asking the server to ask the cooks to replenish the empty bins so they could have something to put on their plates. We certainly won't be going back and in hindsight we should have just walked out and not even have tried what was there. What a disgrace that 2 iced tea and disgusting food cost us $75.00 ...JUNK

The place is a round log frame building that is quite spectacular inside of you are a log fan. This time of year in Parksville is pretty quiet, most places make hay in the summer and shutter for the slow season All of our food was delicious, prepared with care. Now to be fair there was hardly anyone in the place other than us five, so the kitchen wasn't slammed with people. That all said we enjoyed a wonderful, if somewhat pricey dinner, that would bring us back again!
