Tartar sauce had great flavour and despite not typically liking coleslaw this one was good. Fries were average but that's not what you come for. Service was great staff was very friendly and food was quite fast. Seating is outdoors and the view of Oak Bay Avenue is great at night. If coming in the winter make sure to bring a coat!

The fresh fish here is amazing! Fresh seafood arrives daily from the Pacific. Can't get any…read morefresher! The deep fried halibut was amazing and had a LOT of white flaky fish, not a lot of batter of crust like most places. The tartar sauce was great as well, with a hint of dill. This is a walk-up small place that was recommended by many locals! The fish takes 10-15 minutes and comes out very hot and tasty. There are tables available in front and on the side of the walk-up counter. A must try! There is also a fresh fish market to the rear of the building. A hidden gem!

Four of us for lunch... I had the halibut burger which I…read morethought was tasty (grilled with tartar sauce, pickle, lettuce, tomato and onion). Other three had the panko oyster burgs. Hubby defined his as heavily breaded, chewy flotsam. My MIL also thought the oysters were chewy. Hubby didn't give me a bite...knew it wasn't for me. Fries were great...nice and crisp. Cole slaw was bland. Don't bother. Might go back for fish and chips (they can clearly fry things nicely) or the halibut burger. Outside table was nice in the spring sun.

Hands down the best butcher and quality of meat, we have found. We always make it a point to order…read moreevery month when we are in Victoria, load up our Yeti and head back to the lower mainland. The baked items are amazing from the rolls, Scottish Eggs and meat pies. They also have the best price for eggs and we always pick up 6 dozen to our order. The service is professional and friendly and ambience is welcoming.

A large selection of English/Scottish stuff that looked fantastic. The meat looked good and I…read morecan't in honesty comment on that since we went with a pork pie and a Scottish pie. They scored a solid 3/10. The pastry was greasy and soft. No real crusty bits. The meat in the pork pie lacked flavor and there was too much jelly. Not to repeat.

I also had the fabulous pleasure of eating their delicious lunchtime specials, today was a delicious Halibut burger on a ciabatta bun and the fries were cooked in Beef Talow Also I came home with 3 of the fattest tenderloins I've ever had! The food is amazing but the customer service is even better. Phenomenal is the way to describe the father/son duo operating this store!! A fabulous find in Sidney by the Sea!!

Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon. The price sticker indicates the cut, price, farm where the meat originated/distance from the shop, and the animal's diet. The guy who helped me was super nice and patient with my browsing. He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.

Checked out Sakura Japanese Cuisine Sushi Bar & Grocery to grab some sushi grade salmon and other…read moreJapanese items. Decent selection of tea, sauces, rice, noodles, snacks, etc. Didn't try any of their food items but the "to go" selection had bentos, katsu, tempura, kara'age and sushi rolls. Bought ~1/2 pound of frozen sushi grade salmon ($29.85/lb), a bag of sushi rice and spicy tuna musubi ($4.00). Reminds me of a mini version of Fujiya Foods.

For take out I would give this a 4 out 5. However we were travelling through and couldn't take it…read morehome. There is no bathroom which my kids needed. If you are allowing people to eat in, you should have to have a bathroom for public use. We had to walk over to burger king. If we didn't hate burger king so much we probably would have eaten there. Food was good and at a decent price. However, everything was served it crappy styrofoam containers including the water we asked for. Also they had no tea (?) Which is pretty standard in most places. Between Christmas and New Years we wanted to support a local business, and the first 4 places we tried to go to were closed. Would I get this for take out? Sure. Would I dine in again? No. Not if you can't provide a bathroom (even to wash hands for crying out loud). I think for the first time in a long time, I would choose a chain before this place.
