Through a random conversation, we three discovered that we all liked dipping our fries into mayo,…read moreand we instantly hankered for fries and mayo. Trust our excitement of finding that Fox & Hounds served fries nearby. We ended up sharing ribs, a Philly cheesesteak, wings, and, of course, fries. Everything was delicious, the service was excellent, and the place had a classic pub feel while keeping it fun. We compared it to Bordeus, but they closed their Abbotsford location. This was the first time for all of us, one of whom is a local, and we all agreed this is the best place for this type of food in the area. It looked like they also host live music and karaoke events. We will be back for those. Enjoy!

After a long day of ferry rides and car travel, my family and I wandered into Tommyknocker's…read moreCornish Pasty in Port Townsend, and it was exactly what we needed. We have four very different food preferences, yet we all found something delicious to enjoy. The staff greeted us warmly and let us pick our own seats, which made for a very relaxed start. As for the food: Mac n Cheese: A huge hit with both my husband and son. Balsamic Strawberry Salad: Fresh, crisp, and really tasty. Chicken Tikka Masala: This was the standout dish of the day! My daughter thought it was fantastic. Everything was prepared fresh and arrived in a timely manner. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

Tried Tommyknocker's for the first time…read more Service was good and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Ambience was simple, but not the type of place you would want to linger after eating. I tried the banger and mash pasty after reading several reviews. Was really looking forward to it. It didn't go as well as I hoped it would. One of those experiences where I could taste my dinner hours after eating it as if I offended in a gastronomical way. Perhaps it resented me for some reason. I would like this restaurant again, especially the macaroni and cheese, which also had good reviews. However, I'm a bit wary of a return visit.

There's a parking lot on the lower part of hill, if you're not lucky to snag the few spots up front. I went here on a night that I just didn't feel like cooking supper & to enjoy the bay views before it got too dark. There was some larger groups eating/celebrating plus a smattering of smaller tables. I didn't notice more than one waitress & occasionally what I think was a manager on the floor serving. I wasn't in a huge rush to order but I do think the was some very long waiting periods to get a menu, get my a non-alcoholic drink and even much longer to be noticed I just wanted to get the bill to leave. I did appreciate that it was delivered warm. It wasn't a slammed place, but I do also understand when a waitress is running on fumes. So perhaps the bartender & manager could step in when when gaps need to be filled (as I noticed there was more tables awkwardly waiting to pay than me). Food was decent helping but nothing I would say was at a wow factor. I only had one meal here but my friends that have stopped here several times had good remarks about their meals. So maybe another stop by when I'm in the area is worth a second shot & enjoy a view to the water.

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.

Unfortunately, we were served two Mexican Lagers instead. After patron at a neighboring table also ordered the same beer, but was given something entirely different, not a lager, but also not the expected ale. Both the server and the bartender were friendly but totally incompetent. The bartender said she never even looks at the specials chalk board in the foyer, which is actually a necessity for her job, and that they were out of the ale and were given the new revolving beer. The lager I was given had soured a bit as well. Whenever I'm traveling and find fish and chips made with cod I get the plate, as I did at this establishment. Both me and one other person who ordered the fish and chips agreed that it was not cod at all. It had none of the characteristics of cod, and the beer batter was not flakey but overcooked, hard and crunchy. Nice ambiance however.

The deep fried pickles are always good and crispy (we already ate 4 of them before taking a pic), this was the first time having the Black and Blue salad with chicken (absolutely delicious and filling, there was enough for two), and the plain Jane Burger is always good and fills the craving for a good burger. The service and atmosphere is great.

It was so intriguing that we decided to make the five minute drive next door, just to have lunch. Set near the water on the local resort, the restaurant looked like a converted mansion from the olden days, so it was real treat for me. All the windows were open which provided a nice cool summer breeze (so effective that we had to wear our jackets). There was also plenty of picnic table seating outside, and quite a number of folks chose to brave the winds to eat there. The hubby eventually settled on the generously sized Mac and Cheese while I went for the equally generous portioned Popcorn Shrimp. Between the shrimp, house salad and fries, it was a very satisfying meal. The shrimp claw and fries were deep fried just right, and I had enough house salad to feel like I was trying to be healthy. I tried a bit of the rich and creamy mac and cheese (mouthwateringly delicious), and I felt the portion was big enough and rich enough for two meals. It felt like it was good value and portioned pub food for the price you pay. If you are staying at the nearby resorts in Parksville, definitely worth a trip there!
