Since the truck is called Westcoast Salty Buns, we decided to try the steam buns as we thought that was what it was referring to. The Jasko smoked mole chicken bun is topped with cabbage, pickled onions, pineapple salsa, pico de gallo, salsa verde and cholula mayo on a steamed bun. Fresh flavors balanced with the smoked mole, along with the crunch of the cabbage against the soft steam buns. A non-traditional combination that works!

My recent visit to Big Daddy's Fish Fry in Tofino, British Columbia, was an absolutely delightful…read moreculinary adventure that I simply must share. This family-operated establishment radiates an infectious, lively energy that immediately transports you to a quintessential beachfront eatery. Stepping inside, the first thing you notice is the captivating ambiance. The air hums with the joyful melodies of 1950s rock and roll, music that has an uncanny knack for putting a smile on everyone's face. Then, you're likely to be greeted by Big Daddy himself - a true master of his domain. His extensive knowledge of every menu item and the fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that go into them is genuinely impressive and adds a personal touch to your ordering experience. Their specialization spans an irresistible trio: succulent seafood, mouth-watering burgers, and perfectly crafted chicken sandwiches. My friend, Don, and I placed our orders and found a cozy spot, eagerly anticipating the buzz of our pager. When our food arrived, brought to us by a wonderfully cheerful and polite kitchen assistant, I was genuinely astonished. The sheer generosity of the portions and the impeccable presentation were truly a feast for the eyes. I indulged in a phenomenal chicken sandwich, generously topped with a crisp, homemade apple coleslaw and a creamy, tangy dressing. Accompanying this masterpiece were some of the freshest, most perfectly golden-brown French fries I've ever tasted. Don opted for a hearty serving clam chowder served with delicious house bread and a refreshing side salad. Each bite was a testament to the quality and passion Big Daddy's puts into their food. Our entire experience, from the warm welcome to the last delicious morsel, was nothing short of fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend Big Daddy's Fish Fry to anyone seeking an outstanding meal, a vibrant atmosphere, and genuinely friendly service in Tofino. It's an unforgettable taste of coastal comfort.

Came here for breakfast. The restaurant is in an old house. Not a lot of space and we just…read moreavoided having to wait in line outside.

We were seated at the bar where the view is the kitchen. It felt like service with a show! The chefs really knew how to turn out breakfast fast. It was like watching a well oiled machine. My veggie eggs benny was delicious. My partner had the heartwood breakfast subbed egg for bacon. We were both happy with our orders. My only note was that the smashbrowns needed more flavour I'm not a ketchup person... But needed it desperately for the smashbrowns. We would definitely go back. The food was fresh and fast. The staff were hospitable and we were glad to have stumbled upon Heartwood.

This is one of those food truck turned restaurant stories, so the staff are the owners and the pride and friendliness of this place rings loud. We have the trip sandwich and the bbq chicken. They're served on homemade sourdough focaccia. It was the best lunch we've had in ages and our standard for good bbq is high. This place is sooo good. Fair warning- it's a small lo-key spot so don't expect a fancy restaurant.

It cut my partners gums it was so charred. I also thought the Caesar salad was mediocre and soaked in dressing. While the server did take some costs off of our bill, I had to show them the charred pork belly and sort of lobby for it. The servers never warned us about the long wait times. I definitely recommend against this place. On top of it, the menu is fairly expensive!

Only one thing- This place absolutely needs more review!…read more They have some of the mean bowls and we ended up trying two of them. Salmon and Kale, Pachamama bowl. 5/5. The squash, beetroot and kale were steaming hot from Pachamama. Thanks for adding shaved Brussels sprouts. That's my new favorite now. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Chips and Salsa didn't feel freshly made but still were surprisingly perfect that our kid gobbled it all. Just right seasoning ( which have been hit and miss in all other places for last couple of days) We also had vanilla and affogato. Parking- no dedicated parking lot. Street parking or public parking is the only option. Place is open till late and had definitely had lot of late nighters drinking. We ordered one drink - hibiscus margarita. It was well made. The service was quick and we saw dishes going out one after another too. The playlist this evening was the best part of our dinner! We were vibing at the songs loved by us 80s/90s kids. Thanks for playing all those songs I haven't listened in two decades. Only missing was a little space to shake our legs and dance away. Hope I get to return to try out more. If you are looking for restaurants in Tofino, please do stop by! I recommend it as a must try while you are here. P.S. I took the zoomed in photo of the bowls to give it a try in my own kitchen
