Reviews of Plates Eatery (Coffee Shop)

Trevor Rea-Stewart

Breakfast and lunch open till 3pm only. We enjoyed Cobb salads and was not disappointed. The eatery is very busy so there was a lineup and service, though capable and friendly was a bit stressed.

Dawn Clark

Excellent food and service. A great diner with a unique atmosphere.

Cliff Laver

Wonderful cafe with great service and delicious food. Our waitress was new to the Island and didn't realize that Plates is the only breakfast food style restaurant alongside the highway from Campbell River south to Parksville. Don't miss it, you'll miss good food, great staff, a zillion license plates and hot coffee.

Craig Taylor

Great service. Delicious comfort food

Morgan Ayres

Great food and fantastic service from Amy. Always a smile on her face and a Good Morning

Ken Ballantyne

Great breakfast, nice atmosphere

Robyn Dunbar

Food is always awesome, great selection and hours, friendly service! Extremely LGBT friendly which is awesome, I go there with groups of eclectic friends often and always find staff to be excellent and a pride flag in the window! More than I can say about other businesses in the Valley.

Baz Cardinal

Tried to go there on a Monday about weren't open very disappointed

Ashleigh Cummer

Thank you. Great buffet

Chevy Mortimer

Andrew Heaton

Great food, great service.

Matt Bell

Great breakfast!

Barry Petrie

Good food, service was pretty slow, but it is pandemic recovery time, so it's understandable.

Stephen Doyle

Was nice to sit on the deck and have a drink. We enjoyed the beautiful flowers and the band practicing. So nice and peaceful.

Hydrogen 7

Good atmosphere but really mediocre food. Coffee a notch up from flavoured water. Good service. Lots of better choices though in town.

Sweet Jeremy

This is a great place to meet up with family & friends to enjoy a good meal. I really like the split level design of the restaurant. The food is great and the customer service is great too. Great location to bring a group of friends as there is a motel next door for your convenience. Perfect for skiers who are at Mt. Washington Alpine ski resort, can start the day with a good breakfast.

David Anderson

Always friendly service and the food is consistently good. It's a great place for a meal and conversation with a friend or colleagues. Highly recommended.

Lenny

Very busy so service was slow. A lot of patrons didn't seem too concerned with Covid protocol such as masks. Mostly after finishing their meals and leaving the premises. Meal was ok. Server was pleasant.

Cabby Ken

Thursday night prime rib dinner was delicious!

Elaine Brown

Yummy food at good prices. Breakfast all day with morning cheap price. We stop here anytime we are in town.

Ralf Luthin

My little girl loves to eat here a d the waiting staff treat her like gold

Howard Rees

Dad & I usually come here for Breakfast. Its Food, better than Ricky's

GREG STUBBINGS

Ordered a jalapeno burger. No jalapenos, no bite to the sauce and the patty looked like it came from the superstore frozen burger section. I won't go back.

Kyle Curtis

It's a place that reminds me of old school diners. Coffee is bottomless and the service is fast and friendly.

Chris Lewis

Had a fantastic hangover breakfast here. The service was a little slow though.

Jeff Hill

It serves the kind of food that makes drug companies so profitable..Enjoy!

Wendy Wind

This is a breakfast/lunch Restaurant. Good food. However, their Thursday Night Roast Beef Buffet is bland at best and over priced by at least $6. The Roast is always over cooked. Their meat gravy is horrible. Yorkshire pudding is rubbery. Good Customer service. Wouldn't spend my money except it's my Grandma's favorite place. I mean what are you gonna do? She's 80. She gets what She wants.

Glen Halverson

Plates was wonderful!! Love the atmosphere right in the am ????

Robb Davis

Great food and awesome service

H T

Perfect place to eat and relax.????

Deryk Wenaus

Lots of very unfriendly staff,that's sad even I'm sure they want to work and get tips.Food was horrible with 3 pieces of bread stacked on top of each other with beef and gravy,I could of made it better than that,too bad for all around.

eleanor dsantos

Love plates. The pepper pot is amazing!

Paul McCormack

Excellent food, great service. I got the all or nothing, but I absolutely despise pancakes and their preposterous texture, so I requested a waffle, and they happily obliged my request, so I was a satisfied customer. A+

Gloria Tremblay

Awesome place to eat! Great service too.

D -

Polite fast service. Great food.

Mandy Petrie (Littlefoots)

Good food and great service

SHROOMY

Greasy spoon greatness. I've eaten at this establishment many times since it was Bino's 150 years ago. Its always been consistently good. Recently I noticed that they serve only French's Ketchup, outstanding! Great support of a Canadian food supplier that has good morals! Good food here in good quantities and at fair prices. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Funky Femme

Great breakfast...clean, cool diner with great service.

John Bradbury

Kids love seeing the cars drive by through the numerous windows. Staff always friendly.

Justine Denis

Great breakfast. Covid protocol good. Fast & friendly. Lots of parking.

Sue

Perfect place to have a good breakfast peacefully.

Stephanie Ward

Got a spinach and goat cheese burger and it was obviously a store bought patty. Pretty disappointed that a restaurant can't even make burger patties in house. Goat cheese was sparse and the spinach was not fresh, but was cooked and soggy. Service was good though and the helping of fries was pretty generous.

Mavis Alkenbrack

Good food and service. Lots of eye candy in the decor.

David Humphrey

Busy! Friendly service and a big selection of the usual breakfast items. Decent portions.

Neil Havers

Great service and food. Always a delicious, hearty meal!

Brad Warren

The ‘Plates Breakfast’ with a side order of guacamole was insanely good. Their jam is home made: also insanely good.

Robin DeRoo

Great food, social distancing tables. Great service too

Dave Alex

One of my favorite breakfast places in town. Always great food, great prices and great staff!!

Anna Rose

So satisfying. Ham and cheese omelet with 4 strips of bacon and a full size waffle. That was the best waffle I've ever had. Bacon was crispy and no need for additions. If you're headed to Mt Washington this season stop here for breakfast.

Adrian Friesen

Excellent breakfast. The best service in town.

Chelsea Logue

Huge portions for a great price... best breakfast in the valley

connor Mclaughlin

Joe Berg

Awesome food. Super comfortable atmosphere.

Lyme Life With Stanley Peacock & Jj

Great nostalgic eatery. Food is excellent and staff are friendly. Many DIFFERENT licence plates on the with other automotive memorabilia makes this place a memorable place to eat. The breakfast 2,2,2 is my favorite. Try it out and experience Plates Eatery for your self. Coffee is great too!

Joni Barth

Worst service! They are either understaffed or the staff doesn't care. We waited 15 minutes to be seated in an empty restaurant! Finally we just left and went to Smittys.

kali Hoisington

Good food at fair prices

Leah Lewis

Nice place, food soso

Comox Valley Boxing Club

Canci O'Brien

This is our 3rd time here as we're new to the Island. We really like it

Kids toy corner is a nice change from colouring page but they have those too. Breakfast was quick and we'll prepared diner fare. Just the right amount of kitsch...

Marlon Caringal

Breakfast was great and good service

Jazmine Jane

Service

Mike MacDonald

Very good food at a good price with great service.

Jason Chowdhury

Finally made it to Plates in Courtenay BC since we moved to the great Island in October 2019.....(visit on Sunday December 27-2020) All Covid precautions in place upon arrival ...and even took your name and phone number...presuming if there is an issue with Covid following your visit. Great breakfast menu selection ....good prices. Excellent staff.....quick service! Will definitely drive from Errington and go back again for sure!!

Dorothy Spencer

Stopped in for Bunch. The food was good and large portions. The staff were extremely friendly. Neat atmosphere with license plates from all around the world on display.

Cameron Duff

Great food and service as usual!

Richie Richie

Disgusting food and terrible service. It took 15 minutes to get a milkshake that we had to remind them to make. My burger had the most disgusting texture and taste that I've ever had. I did not eat it. The onion rings had hardly any onion in them and we're just batter. Absolute waste of money. Can't believe we didn't go to Cornerstone. I will never eat here again. The server did not bring me a side sauce that I requested. I went up to remind them and ask for my partner's soup that he asked to sub for his fri since they messed that up too. The server treated us as if it was our fault and said that we had asked for it additionally. When I told the server my burger was really gross the server told me that usually they're really good. It took an awful lot to get an apology out of them. And each time I walk past someone they ran past me quickly instead of allowing me the space to walk where I was already walking. I'm not sure where these people learned customer service but it was of poor quality.

dave ostrander

Great food, fabulous staff. We love it.

Toeken 42

Love the decor, adds an interesting touch while you wait for your food, which is worth waiting for. Large portions at a reasonable price. This is old school, and that's a good thing.

Wendy Coles

My family and I go here every time we are in Courtenay around breakfast time. We live further south and drive up for Costco runs and Plates is a staple in our routine. Their food and wait staff are always great and with two young boys who love cars, the ambiance of being surrounded by license plates from all over the world, and other car related decor puts this place over the top and firmly in the “memorable” category.

Richard Manton

Good value breakfast with homemade jam (nice touch) and amazing service!

Alexa Lamouroux

Awesome! becoming a fave for breakfast at a good price.

Krazy Kanuck

Nice all day breakfast, super hot delicious coffee, & house made berry jam! Great service!

Mieka Beks

Great food great service. I really enjoyed the look the licence plates, gas pumps, mechanical test equipment.

Lee Beck

Friendly staff and the food is good.

Justin Scott

My go-to breakfast place when you need a quick sit down meal for a fair price.

P H I L I P

Pretty standard breakfast place, I had the goat cheese and spinach omelette, it was very tasty and they didn't skimp on the cheese. The hashbrowns are the deep fried cubes with seasoning. The waitress was polite and punctual, and the restaurant was clean.

Richard Green

We end up here every 3 or 4 years. Always the same, great value and service

Mella Mellow

good food. great prices. all I've had there is breakfast but it was good.

Ken Tedford

Very slow service over 45 minutes to get a bowl of soup and bacon and eggs. Would have been nice to be advised when hostess seated us that they are busy.

PE Islander

Food was hot and tasty!

Jarrod Bennett

Excellent every time I go here. Don't know why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5... -1 star for restrictive open/closing hours?

Chris Doerksen

Friendly highway diner vibe, very comfortable, lots of light through the windows. Great place to drink coffee and have some breakfast or lunch while you plan the rest of your day.

Ken Seabloom

Solid spot to relax and get some breakfast. Good atmosphere and great service. Food was pretty good too. Would go back

Dannielle Philion

Great atmosphere, good variety...breakfast very tasty

Miles Kehoe

One dinner good, one not so much the schnitzel was tough even a steak knife couldn't get through the edges.

Sterling Keys

After having to drive up from chemainus daily, we discovered this place online and gave it an attempt, we were really happy with all the great food we have been getting. We are regulars now

Alex skye vlogs

How do I begin. I went to plates to get take out and every part was amazing, the staff inside were friendly and happy, the atmosphere was amazing and pricers were 10/10. So right off the bat amazing experience which you don't often find when just grabbing take-out, but let me tell you plates knows how to do it. Now lets get to the meal, I had the Mexican skillet (my all time fav) and once again A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Every single bite was delectable, from the perfectly poached eggs to the tater tots that give you that perfect crispy bite, you can bet your bottom dollar I finished every last bite. If you want the experience of going to a friends house for breakfast at 7pm plates is the place to go. you will not be disappointed if you stop by, this is a well run ship and I'm glad I stopped by. Keep up the great work. 10/10 experience

Keira Johnston-Davies

Delicious food. Fairly priced:)

Martin Hudec

Great restaurant and friendly staff, food servings and quality were great. we will be back when we visit Brianna again!

Darcy Moss

Very meat centric, almost no veg options. Mediocre food. Nothing special.

Tony Stanley

Subpar food and above average prices, my wife's omelette arrived with someone's hair in it. I had the Reuben(it comes with chicken) strange..it was poorly executed and the worst Rueben I have ever tasted. The server wanted to argue about it, do yourself a favour give this place a miss. Top votes for the most disappointing 'restaurant ' in the Comox valley.

Bill Heighington

Worst meal I have ever had!!!! Don't go!!! No value and they do not compensate you for crappy food.

Stuart Cox

The atmosphere is really cool! The food was delicious and generously portioned. Great prices and very friendly staff.

deepthi uthaman

So I landed up having to miss a day of skiing at Mt Washington, so I Googled best breakfast in Courteney BC, Plates Eatery came up. Never been to Courteney ever so it was a bit hard to see cause the sign is small, but when we found it.. we were impressed at how they have license plates EVERYWHERE from everywhere. There are old gas station pumps, and other cool items that you'll have to go check out! We had an amazing waitress, don't remember her name but she told us all about Courteney, gave my partner and I a brochure, topped up our coffee, casually spoke with us and made us feel at home. Not only was there really friendly service, their food was delicious. Had the Mexi Benny with hot sauce n salsa sour cream... at a great price too! If we're ever in Courteney for breakfast again I will sure be returning :)

Thomas Thomas

Delicious breakfast at good cost, friendly staff, definatly worth the visit

Peter Gill

Rude hostess...twice

Chrystal Berry

Good diner for a tasty bite to eat

Sandi

Very good food at a reasonable price

CitizenMoose

Very clean and tidy, and a lot of fun inside, with all the old automobile paraphernalia. FABULOUS breakfast menu!! Okay service, (we had to ask for more coffee, which we VERY much enjoyed, which is why we wanted another cup!) My husband had the corned beef hash, he said it was good, and he was happy with the portion size. I had the Plates Breakfast; the eggs were cooked as I wished, good sausage and hashbrowns, but just . . . good, not exceptional, which is why I rated them a 4 star.

Scott Cowden

Great family restaurant with a big breakfast selection the vegetarian quesadilla is my favorite. Lunch is excellent too, very fresh and homemade. Great salads. Friendly and efficient staff.

Tailor Mészáros

We arrived at 2:20 and my friend was wondering if we'd make it before closing at 3pm. No worries, drinks and food arrived quickly. Avocado toast and eggs looked lovely and she said it was delicious. I really wanted Poutine and appreciated the crispy, seasoned fries. Super melty and gooey. Great food and fast service!

Tim Akehurst

Decent food and friendly service.

Ed Preece

Good Food but wish it was open past 3:00 pm

scott hennicke

Great food, great service, great price. Definitely worth making a regular stop on my vacation!

Will Emery

This is my go to when going to Courtenay to shop. Always friendly staff and food is always the best!

Brendan Phillips

Friendly, simple, honest portions, bright and cheery. Fun retro themed diner.

Felicity Cleaver

Loved our breakfast experience. Check in was fast and thorough. Seated safely, good service, good food.

Kevan Egan

Good food, friendly staff.

Adam Zanbilowicz

Great breakfast. Very nice service at a good price. Been here 2x and it was tasty and hot. The homemade jam is worth coming just for toast

Shyanne Alexander

Great place for a family breakfast. The kid corner is a wonderful way for toddlers to spend some time and give parents some time to eat their meals.

Amanda Sylvestre

A local breakfast/lunch hotspot where the food is always fresh and the service is very friendly. It can be very busy on sunday mornings but always worth it.

Cameron Barnes

Excellent food, excellent customer service and huge servings at a low price. Love the kids area as my son had a blast

Geoff Stewart

Took my son there ordered some burgers and fries. Burgers were gross buns look deep fried small beef patties and little portion of fries for 15 bucks. We were both still hungry when we left. It was also freezing cold in the restaurant had to wear my winter coat the whole time. Not what I expect for a $35 meal.

Just A Gamer

Grease food. Overpriced. A rainbow flag greets you when you enter. I prefer to attend establishments that are not political.

Trevor DeMaere

Today was our first time at Plates. We were greeted warmly on entry at the foyer. The license plate decor catches your eye and is really fun. We were there for breakfast and enjoyed The Plates Breakfast (2 eggs, protein choixe with hash Brown's and toast). Our server mDe us feel right at home. We even were offered and enjoyed a portion of their homemade berry jam. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be making Plates a.regular stop every time we are in Courtenay.

Caljerome

It’s okay, the breakfast has never impressed me, not a great price for what they give you.

Florida Courts Process

Worst place for service!!! Had to ask after sitting there 20 mins to get drinks, then finally took our order and 20 mins later came back saying they lost the order. And that drinks were on the house. If you want excellent service and great food dont go to plates!!!

South Sea

Such a nice eatery, loved the decor, tasty food and the chocolate mint to finish the meal!

Graeme Morgan

Great place to eat, good food, pleasant servers. Always a favorite. Great prices.

Robert Scott Rix

This place is great, good food lots of it and the staff make you feel really great. They only do breakfast and lunch.

S D

They have a large laminated menu filled with lots of all-day breakfast items and roadhouse type sandwiches and food. Our California wrap and chicken ceasar club were good but the Monte Cristo sandwich was disappointing. Service was friendly but slow at noon on a Saturday so the meal took twice the time it should have with only two people looking after all the table clearing, service and cash. There is an outside patio with a couple of picnic tables beside the street. Inside decor is interesting with the walls covered in license plates from all over the world. There were lots of individuals there with walkers and wheelchairs so it was nice to see how welcoming they were.

john montminy

Awesome breakfasts,great service, great prices, very nice place

Peter Bampton

Great good prices and service

Victoria Griffiths

Tim Grant

Good soup and good service. Very interesting to see all the licence plates.

G Mcd

Awesome staff and awesome food, will visit again!

Nancy McArthur

Came here for the first time today. Place was very clean and followed Covid policies. Food was excellent. Ordered a standard breakfast (ham, eggs, toast and hash browns) and eggs benedict. It's rare nowadays to get proper baked ham with breakfast and they do it here. That was the best surprise. No sliced processed ham. Good portions and well prepared and not a greasey breakfast. Front end and serving staff were very friendly and efficient. Will definitely be returning.

Christine Garland

Don't go here on a Stat holiday. I feel bad for the waitresses, as they were running off their feet unable to check if everything was right they when the order came. My wife got the side of bacon she asked.for with the order after she was done her omlette. The food was great but the service was very poor

Lisa Robinson

Table of 4 and everyones breakfast was overcooked. Overeasy eggs were hard,bacon was crumbly,sausage was cooked in deepfryer. The only thing that wasnt over cooked was the toast,it was warm white bread. Be a long time before returning there if ever.

Emma Kaffanke (ronesime)

I ordered corned beef hash. The food is really good, staff are friendly and the restaurant is nice with a lot of space. I would be a regular if I live in the area.

CURT A HIGHAM

Good food took a while to get it

Mark Lerner

Best damn skillet I’ve ever had, awesome hollandaise. Thanks so much Plates!! You know when you have something in mind and what you get exactly matches that? That happened.

Brian Buttnor

We were Steve Swing's very first customers back in Apr 2000. Plates Eatery has a great family oriented menu that is consistently top notch, every time we visited during these past 21 years. Their Thursday/Friday evening roast beef and Yorkshire dinner special is super tasty, plentiful and priced very well. I also had the pleasure to avail myself of their catering services for 40 to 100 very hungry veterans and spouses twice a year over a 10 period. The high quality catering menus were always well recieved. To top everything else, the staff at Plates Eatery are second to none.

Toni Lamb

I had the roast beef buffet tonight and its a awful. The food had no taste. The roast was tough and had no flavour. The potatoes were watery, the vegetables were cold. Even the gravy had no taste. It was very clear that the chef used no seasonings when he or she cooked this meal. Would I eat there again. NO

dan old

Great waitress and yummy food

Marley Poole

Friendly service....wonderful food.

Christine Fewtrell

Rose Mack

My partner and I went a few times for brunch this week and the server Cassie was outstanding! It was her first week but you never would have known. She was attentive and caring and made us both feel very welcome. The food was excellent, and overall an amazing breakfast place. The potatos are a must try!!

Morgan McNeely

Its a good typical family restaurant. Better for breakfast. Clean. Good service. Nice Beanos building.

John Curran

The staff are the best in the business. Exceptionally personable and very customer driven. Our server was simply the best. My meal was disappointing. Firstly the coffee was old and bitter. I ordered the avocado and chicken salad. Portion was skimpy at best. The chicken was dry and seemed old. The honey/lime dressing was boring. Oh well...

Denise McVey

Eaten here many times, reasonably good fare at standard prices, good place to have a burger before going to nearby cinema so you aren’t hungry and don’t have to pay those highway robbery prices for popcorn and drink @ the show.

Grant Macaulay

Epic service and great food do not pass this place by.

natalie macdonald

Breakfast

Gabriel Gibbons

Friendly service, great breakfasts. A good start to your day.????

Love the theme of the restaurant, so classic and pretty. My father and I have been eating there since I was a child and I've always really enjoyed going there! Hash browns from plates are my favorite, along with their waffles, they are seriously to die for

Pat Neumann

Ryan Kent

Kelsey Smith

Merle Ross

I went here with my mom. I enjoyed the music and so did my mom (rare ocurrence) the waitress was perfect. She wasn't to in your face or sickly sweet. She was straight to the point and polite. The food was fabulous.

Good coffee and nice people

Recently ate here for the second time after a long break. The chocolate chip pancakes are recommended. The staff seemed a bit stressed, and mask wearing by patrons wasn't great, but the food was as good or better than most other local options in the valley. Plates recently changed their policy and started requiring staff to wear masks (staff did not wear masks up until about a month ago).

Great local family restaurant. Will never be five star and don't care. Service is great, food is hot and what you order. Good value for money. Breakfasts are all wonderful. Be careful with the fact that drinks are not on the menu and adding juices to your kids order can get expensive.

Sherryl Carroll

Always smiling staff and good food .make Scottish very welcome. Thank you

Brenda McCall

My daughter and I make a habit of eating brunch here almost every weekend! There are no other options in Courtenay if you want a nice brunch diner, so look no further. Try the seafood eggs Bennie!

I love the food there, but the customer service, not so much, my last visit there, the waitress took me and my mothers plates, along with my nieces, didn’t say anything, no “how was your day today” or anything like that, she looked upset, which I wasn’t so pleased with Customer service should be everything in places like this

Susan Legeas

Family friendly diner style restaurant with a mix of new and seasoned servers. Typically quick service with the occasional wait, depending on the staffing and business of the day. Busy weekend mornings and quite for midweek brunch as one would expect. Quality to cost is average. Similar to a Smitty's or Whitespot.

Dawn Church
