You're going there for the solid rib sticking food that will make you want to come back again. There is no pretense here, just straight forward what you see is what you get. Ryan M took great care of us while there, we backed for nothing. That said he has a personality, which we love, no shrinking violet here. My traditional bennie was good, with house cooked ham, eggs exactly as I asked for and potatoes shaped differently than you typically see. They were great for mopping up the leftovers. The lovely K Huevos Incredibalos was also good. She opted for two tortillas instead of three and enjoyed every bite. Would we go back, hell yeah we would!

Friend got a custom omelette for $21.95, and I had the Herb Hudson Benedict for $23.95. Their POS system had issues. It rejected multiple cards before the waitress thought to use a different machine, then there weren't any problems. They have a breakfast item called Laban that includes 6 strips of bacon, a shot of Jack and a beer but you get a 50% discount if that's your name.

Stopped at this charming pub-style restaurant on the way to the ferries. The gardens were adorable…read moreand a really cute touch for this tucked-away gem. The servers were so friendly and welcoming, and the chowder is to DIE for. The burger wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad; the seafood chowder just really overshadowed it. If you want more than just soup, I highly recommend getting it as a replacement for fries with a handheld. My partner got the beef dip and that was an excellent sandwich, tender and well-seasoned. If you're on your way in or out of the Swartz Bay terminal, this is an excellent stop for a solid meal near the coast with charming decor.

I think I have to bump up the stars since my last beer experience here…read more On our latest trip to our northern neighbor we had another beer from Driftwood that we immensely enjoyed. That beer was the Spiff Corn Lager. It was such a refreshing beverage to have as we were ready to get out of the hot mugginess of summer. Flavor features with this delightful beer are a natural sweetness along with crispness and a clean finish. The beer is very light bodied and extremely persuasive in having you get another one.

We opened a second tab and were so glad we did. We truly had a lovely time. The staff were thoughtful and offered great and friendly service. By dealing with an uncomfortable situation they made us feel comfortable staying for a second round. If we lived here, we'd be back! I loved the raspberry sour! So light and refreshing!

I love diners, and this one is fabulous!…read more Located right downtown by the inner harbor, on Government Street, this restaurant is large, with two separate doors 1/2 block apart. I loved the spacious interior with the retro diner aesthetic. I loved how it opens at 7am and has a lot of breakfast options, and all are reasonably priced. I love the booths, the soda counter, the chalkboard message board with daily specials on it. I love the cheery and attentive server we had. And, lastly, I love the food here! (I was here for breakfast and my eggs and bacon were EXACTLY how I ordered them, and they also made me a fantastic iced vanilla latte, too). The restaurant and the bathrooms were super clean, too (bonus!). I checked out the extensive menu and realized, heck, I should have come here the day before for lunch. They have so many sandwiches and burgers available. Just wow. IMO this place would be perfect for breakfast or lunch, or a late night snack. (I think they're open until 9pm). If you like traditional diner fare, this is the place to be, for sure.

Being a gluten free girly, I always have high hopes for gluten free fish & chips but am typically let down by the result. Today, my friends, was the turning of the tables. A new day. The chips weren't anything to write home about but they played the traditional "chip" role, perfectly. The fish? I cannot even begin to explain how delicious, crisp, fresh, flavorful & delectable these two pieces of fish were. If these bad boys were triple the amount to purchase, I'd do it again & again. I can't wait to come back to Barholomews & recommend to anyone that visits Victoria. Bless the hands who created this dish, amen.
