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.

Walked over around 7, got there right before the rush of people. Handed us a buzzer and got our…read morefood pretty quick!! Ordered the halibut (not a hamster, at a quick glance this fry was insane). Drink fridge right below the counter. Quick easy and smooth service from the dudes in the truck, food was so good. Would love a better coleslaw, fish was so yum and the tartar sauce was nice!!

It's locally recommended and was a crowd puller as expected. Lots of seating area around. If you…read moreget an alcoholic beverage from neighboring pizza place you have to be seated on their tables but you can bring in outside food. Fish and chips were pretty, I usually am not a fan but this was soft and perfectly crunchy. So we ordered another one to share. The oil didn't taste stale. Or it was not over fried. Thanks to the coleslaw and mayo + lemon you can add some seasoning to season less fish. That's why the four stars. They give you a pager / buzzer which was helpful. It can get really crowded during meal hours. Definitely recommend for visitors.

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!

And they have beer and wine! Great little stop! Also they make all their sauces in house! Everyone who worked here was so friendly too! And they have indoor and outdoor seating. Their batter is light and crispy and the fish was perfectly cooked. And their fries are chunky and crispy!!

I found this listing and the reviews were great so was really looking forward to the meal…read more Ordered some takeout and was pretty disappointed in the food. The fries were soft and luke warm. Didn't like the flavor of them. Had two pieces of cod, both which were cooked excellent for 3/4 of each piece, but were soft and soggy for the other 1/4 ers. The lady who took my order was very pleasant and helpful, but not sure I'd go back because of the food.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Decent choice of eats when in the area…read moreor on the way to the beach! Burgers seemed homemade and the fish and chips are good :) === 2. FOOD The Beachcomber ($8.57) It's a cheese-less burger, but it comes with fried onions, lettuce, and tomatoes along with ketchup and mustard. The key here is the patty itself seems to be homemade - solid choice! The Chief's Plate ($28.48 - halibut) You get two pieces of fish (cod or more expensive halibut) on top of fries with coleslaw and tartar sauce. The fish was nice - not overly battered and the fries seem to be homemade / cut from real potatoes. The slaw itself is good. Is it the best in town? Not sure, but it should be in the top five contenders on your list! Clam Chowder ($8.38 - large) This was a disappointment: sure it's chunky and it has fish, but it tasted sour - which is a little unusual for the recipe (at least compared to every other place around Canada, the US, and England, and I'm a chowder fan!) ...so I'm not sure if my bowl simply had chowder that had gone bad or if that's the way they do it here at Willows... Milk Shake ($5.14) Vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry: my little guy loved the chocolate! Kid's Ice Cream Cone ($1.52) I'm happy they offer this size at this price, as the soft-serve ice cream is great, but do we really need to give the little ones massive cones? Not in this parent's opinion :) ...so this smaller size is great. === 3. SERVICE Super friendly and patient, the lady at the front made recommendations, took our order patiently, and showed my little guy how cones and milkshakes were made :). They were reasonably fast at serving considering what seems like a perpetual line of waiting patrons that exists, particularly around mealtimes. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's really a takeout join on a street corner; however, there are four picnic tables where you could eat outside. So don't bring any large groups but if you're coming, know that wheelchairs and baby strollers will work (note: some of the sidewalk pavement is a little bumpy). Parking is street-based: on nearby streets or nearby angled parking across the way.

Still the best. After 20 years the milkshakes are still the…read morebest in the World. Fish and chips are damn fine. Excellent location near the beach. All the food is great. Staff friendly and truly cares about what they do. Can't recommend enough.

Everything was really good and I was happy to see they had gluten free buns too, which was a big plus for us. The location was probably my favorite part though. It's right on the waterfront and was such a nice spot to sit and eat. It felt like a place we wouldn't have necessarily found unless we were looking for it, so definitely glad we came across it. Would come back if we're in Victoria again! Service was great and easy.
