Wow, so terrible. We ordered cheese sticks for appetizers. They came out very over cooked. If they…read morehad been cooked another 30 seconds someone might have chipped a tooth on the breading. Next we ordered entrees. My friend ordered the chicken parmesan a favorite dish for her in general. I order a Ruben which is on of my favorite sandwiches. When the food came out the breading on the chicken parmesan was way over done just like the cheese sticks. The Ruben was cooked properly but instead of Thousand Island dressing the cook put mustard on it. What?!? My friend had to pick the breading off to eat her chicken and I didn't feel like rolling the dice again to see what came out of the kitchen so I ate my Ruben. All around disappointing.

If you are on your way to or from Cape Scott Park, Raft Cove, San Josef Bay, or where we were headed - Winter Harbour (google maps can't even give you directions there!), and are feeling tired from, or looking forward to, your rain forest adventure, just stop here and relax! The view from the deck towards the Holberg Inlet, the unique art adorning the walls (and the floor, under a stack of chairs), a couple of cold drinks, and the conversation with the server, kept us entertained while waiting for our hot food. Nothing pretentious here! It was great. I can't wait to visit again!

Pretty much your only option for food when heading to, or from, Cape Scott Provincial Park. I have…read morestopped here a number of times over the years, and always on my way back from a big hike. It is tradition. Anyone that has been to the northern tip of the Island knows the Ibis! Standard pub grub, often with seafood specials. There's nothing fancy about this place, but it is consistent, and it's the only option. During my latest visit over the summer we were served by a woman that was single-handedly running running the place. She seemed a little stressed, but got it all together and food was out as quickly as possible. Halibut was the special, and when I'm here I always go with the halibut burger if it available. We enjoyed pints of beer on the patio overlooking the water as we waited for our meals. When the burgers came the halibut itself was great. The burgers as a whole were pretty standard and the salad came from a bag. But what are you going to do? Processed cheese slices on burgers are standard in this neck of the woods. Ah well. We were hungry and the food didn't have to be re-hydrated with boiling water. I doubt the Ibis has seen much change over the years. I certainly haven't noticed anything different in the 9+ years I have been coming here. The menus are plastic covered and grubby, the floors stained, the furniture old. But it all kind of lends to the character of the place. If you are visiting the north island area, you're going to stop here. It's what people do. Don't expect glamour, don't expect the best meal of your life. Just go, enjoy the patio, and take it for what it is. They have a nice collection of local art and photography on the walls, which are for sale. There were actually some really beautiful pieces I would love to own.

We stopped in here for a 'local' dinner one night while visiting friends in Sayward. It's an…read moreinteresting building as you can choose to sit in the restaurant side or the bar "pub" side. We opted for the pub side. Our bartender, Eve, was super friendly and whipped out a delicious Caesar for my friend, which my boyfriend later ended up ordering. They also had a great red ale (Richard's I believe) that was refreshing. We opted for the Appy Plate and they let us sub out the pork part for more veggies! They even added some other veggie options for me as well! Eve let me know that their Thai chef was working that night and she was kind to make me a vegan option for dinner. This is so amazing of them. Was it the best Thai ever, no - but for a small local spot, I think it was pretty dang good. My friends Ginger beef dish looked great and they liked it. And my man's steak and shroom dish was also tasty. Oh did I mention they have free pool - yeah they have that too!

I wasn't even advised of this until the bill arrived. If that was the case, i would have just gotten fries and saved $4.50! So, the $120 our table dropped for dinner wasnt enough? I have been here many, many times and this hasn't happened before. Bad move. I guess the $2 was more important than the business I bring in 4-6 times a year.

We have been traveling all day and are ready to eat. They have a varied menu with burgers soups salads and steak. They also have deep fried pickles and yes the pickles are delicious They have some interesting burgers like the crab cake burger and the Roadhouse burger. We ordered a Logger burger and a Roadhouse burger and they were amazing. Look at the pictures of the burgers. Be sure to save room for dessert like the Orange Creamsicle cheesecake. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend sitting outside on the deck. Prices are higher as you are in a remote location but the burgers are amazing and worth every penny.
