Just pop over to any of the other businesses next door while you wait. Service is super duper friendly and prices are very fair for the quality. This was another big family meal so I got to try lots! Really everything was excellent- the ling cod fish and chips (flaky fish and very nicely seasoned fries), Mega Mushroom Swiss Burger (great house sauce and tender patty), Grilled Cheese (so, so much butter), Root Beer Float (big portion), Strawberry Milkshake and Mozzarella sticks. But my absolute favourite was the PBJ and Bacon burger. The juicy patty topped with the combination of peanut butter, bacon and red pepper jelly is out of this world. As someone who is huge on sweet and savoury, this is very much my kind of burger. An absolute must try on the Sunshine Coast!!

Met some friends here for dinner after a wonderful dinner the night before at another local place…read moreserving far different fare. The interior is very plain, and somewhat looks thrown together, and that's ok. It's not trying to be anything other than what it is, no apologies. When your claim to fame is a dinner, or lunch, on top of a Caesar in a glass, you are kind of throwing up your middle in defiance aren't you. The service was good, everything was well taken care of. The food itself is good and quite abundant. K's wings were very nicely cooked and quite plump. The sauce was meh, but that's a personal choice. The taco salad, which we shared was quite good as well, but the taco chips could have been of a better quality, or better yet made in house. My beef dip was pretty good, not fatty at all which is a turn off for me. Fries were abundant, but the au jus needed a helping hand. Our guests had wings as well and a hot chicken sandwich. Both were quite good as well. I could have seen a five star, and it was quite close, just not quite there. We'd go again though next time we are in Parksville!

I was really wanting a good burger & seen location listed in what I think is called the "taste of…read morethe Island" for local restaurant features of Parksville & Qualicum Beach. I was surprised to find them still open on a week night in Nov but on Remembrance Day, I felt I hit the jackpot. I suspect I wasn't the only one searching for good food options, as the limited seating indoors filled up quickly. The burger was really good (and they prepare you for messy - with the heap of napkins delivered to the table) but it was the parm fries that sent the supper over the top. So much, that I actually had to stop myself eating the parm fries & the delicious dip & enjoy the burger while still hot. I actually took leftover fries home - that's a very rare thing for me to do. The strawberry milkshake was tasty on its own & I wasn't prepared for the brownie chunk that accompanied it (I truly had dessert before supper that night!). There's covered outdoor seating but I suspect they weren't expecting a huge crowd as I didn't feel any heat as I walked by both covered areas to wait to be seated in the restaurant. There's street parking & as well, a uniquely configured smaller parking lot area that I assume the restaurant & the nearby shops share. Staff was all very friendly & even though I was my myself & wasn't there long, I enjoyed the atmosphere. For those that worry about a washroom axes, this legit was right in the front & big enough for any accessible aid logistics to maneuver within. Nothing blocking access to it either (amazing for such a small indoor space). Lastly, if you're picking up the food, this is near to all the big hotels by the boardwalk & beach. So perfect walking distance for those that want to take to enjoy elsewhere.

We put our name in and the wait was only 15 mins so not too bad considering how packed the place was our server was out going & that always makes for a nice time the 2 piece fish and chips were really enjoyable I especially liked the very thin crispy batter and also the chutney that came with it really different in a good way my wife had the Seafood Chowder with Bannock to start and loved it also the Avocado bowl with Salmon for her main and she said it was just what she needed lots of good nutritious food and the Salmon was cooked to perfection I also had a couple of their great dark ales, would definitely have those again The meals were a good serving enough that we passed on dessert As for price point a little more than other places but not out of line considering the quality of the ingredients and the serving size I wouldn't hesitate to return for another very enjoyable meal thx to all at Fern and Cedar

The food is fresh and good quality cook - not overly done and they consider plant based options with a side menu for. I am not a vegetarian but feeling really full and good after the citrus avocado bowl with grilled tofu. There's indoor, indoor with covering and a nice patio space for seating. Service was good - the server somehow knew I don't eat spicy and provided a small portion of non-spicy veggies for me. We came later at night and there's ample free street parking. Definitely recommended.

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

[although i'm writing this review for a burger place i'll just say that snickett park is a great place to enjoy your take out of the weather is right.] this is definitely a take out place but the group of guys before me got handed their burgers and literally started chowing down before they had walked away so not sure if they were inanely hungry or overly excited about the food they'd ordered. there was a steady stream of what looked like locals coming in and placing orders right before noon so i'm going to assume this is a place that is on the radar of people in town when they get a certain hankering. for me, it served the purpose and it was tasty. i was back on the road after some time down at the water but if you're going to be in the vicinity of sechelt or passing through and need some all american menu items, they can help you out. one star off for the handwritten menu that's difficult to read and make sense of in places...i think that could be improved upon.
