REVIEWS OF The Hen and Hog Cafe IN Courtenay

Joss Biggins

Good breakfast, always fresh and well prepared. They are only open from 7 till 2. There are line up because it is quite small and popular. I think worth the wait.

Our go to restaurant for breakfast

Baz Cardinal

Just came in for breakfast as I’ve heard nothing but great things about this breakfast place. I was disappointed at the almost 45min wait time for my breakfast in a not very busy restaurant. Upon receiving my food a hair was on my Benny. The server who I also think may have been the supervisor said “oh no yeah let me remake that for you.” No apologies…My food came back and it seemed as if the egg and holly were rebuilt onto the old dish as the bottom part of my Benny was cold. The server came back to ask how everything was and I told her it was alright and she just walked away. I went to use the restroom and upon coming back noticed she was at our table asking my boyfriend how every was again and apologizing to him about my food. I would have liked the apology as it was my food with hair not his. Once back at the table I went to go for my second Benny to find yet again another hair. My boyfriend went up to who I think may have been a host to let her know. A couple minutes later she came back to our table grabbed my plate and simply said we won’t charge you for this and left. The same girl came back with our bill with only my food removed and that was it. Where did our server go? We were extremely discussed and dissatisfied with the lack customer service and professionalism from our server during experience this morning. I’ve left hungry and feeling like this mistake wasn’t taken seriously at all.

Fantastic service and seriously good food! The lemon dill hollandaise was phenomenal. I loved it so much, I bought one of their t-shirts.. my only negative is that they need to brew tastier coffee - but I will definitely be back here next time I'm in town.

Tracey Richards

Fons Reijmerink

Superb huevos rancheros. The Veggie Benedict was great as well. Strongly recommended.

James Marsh

Great food but very small and noisy

Andrea Papp

Terrible breakfast and and unbelievable ending. I ordered the eggs benny. The eggs were pretty much raw - lots of runny egg white. This is served with "lemon" sauce if you can imagine. It was disgusting. When I went to pay the owner asked how my food was. I didn't answer. He took my credit card and tossed it over my shoulder where it landed on the floor. Excuse me? Just don't go here. During my visit I found 2 places with very good Eggs Benedict. Michael's on Main was the absolute best I have ever had and Atlas was pretty good but very stingy on the Hollandaise sauce.

Mark Giesbrecht

Loved this cute spot, was happy they have breakfast at lunchtime. Friendly service, great breakfast. Really good eggs benny options and made with love. The dill hollandaise sauce is yummy but can get regular if preferred. Hot sauce is good. Coffee could be better but what can you do...

Chris Rebeyka

Great food, great atmosphere, and great staff. Couldn't ask for more.

Stephan Smit

The best breakfast place on Vancouver Island. Amazing fresh food. Family friendly. Delicious. Amazing eggs benny with lots of options!

Absolutely perfect

I Don't mind a long wait if the experience is worth it, this was not. My menu stuck to the table like a sweaty back to a leather chair. I only got my coffee after asking 3 times. We waiting 45 minutes for our food which was OK at best.

Danielle Litalien

Good food ! Great service !

Stoyan Petrov

The food was delicious and the staff, so pleasant. It was mother’s day and they went above and beyond with chocolate covered strawberries for guests and flowers for moms. So cute!

Stephanie Scott

Great selection of breakfast fare. Quick and friendly service; not even a blink from the server when I asked for grilled tomatoes instead of pan fries and toast. Peak morning rush on weekends can mean a bit of a wait (less than thirty seats). Longer for groups over four. Well worth the wait, considering the great food and service. Would have been there five days straight while working in Comox, accept they are closed Monday and Tuesday. By yourself, or with the whole family, this is a great breakfast spot.

Kelly Benning

A must go for anyone that hasn't tried it yet!

Brad Kilgour

Favourite breakfast spot, delicious, well made food, excellent service, hot coffee.

Donna Horn (Inspiricity)

Their website and door sign said that they were open but when we got there they definitely were not.

Michael Oswald

Nuclear Squid!!

Food and service was excellent!

Dag Olson

A small place, so there may be a bit of a wait if you are going during busy times. Food and presentation is amazing, and wait staff are pleasant. Price is a bit higher than your average diner, but very worth it for what you get.

Ang B

Ok but there's better.

Jesse Edmonds

Good place for breakfast in Comox. Standard fare but some interesting options. Great staff.

David Kelly

Paul McCormack

Awesome bfast

Wendell Fonseca

Good food, friendly staff

Kelly Lynn

Local eatery with fabulous breakfast items. Eggs Benedict is among the best I've had.

Wendell Farrell

Had "The Feast", and was well worth the wait to get in. Try their own hot sauce for that extra warmth on the eggs. Service with brilliant smile.

k k

Phenomenal food and service. Friendly, real staff; solid, consistently on point menu served up every time. One of my favorite restaurants in Canada.

D -

This place is awesome. Huevos rancheros top shelf.

Cameron Mccoll

Homey, fresh and filling.

Mark C.

I cannot get enough of this place. Only down side of moving to Nanaimo is that I can't frequent here. Great service, great food. I almost what to say I wish they would expand, and at the same time so not, because the place being small really gives you an amazing breakfast experience; if they expanded I feel they would lose that, or at least a part of it. Stay small!!

Must try at least once. Enough said.

Funky Femme

Amazing plating

victor settler

Try the carnivore eggs benedict

Jaxon “DAVS” Davis

Always good breakfast

Justine Denis

Spent a few days in the Comox - Courtney area on Vancouver Island with my family. We enjoyed the area, nice slow pace and beautiful, what surprised us was how many restaurants served great food. The Hog and Hen served an outstanding breakfast, very upscale in quality with great service. I wasn't sure what to expect as we pulled into the parking lot but were more than pleased with our experience.

Taryn Martin-Copes

Amazing waffles ???? great staff too

Melissa Griffin

Super impressed with all the choices.

New England diner feel and great food

Custom Charger

I have to be honest, coming from Victoria with its many amazing breakfast joints, I didn’t go in with high expectations but that was a mistake, because the service was great, and the food... probably one of the best eggs benny I have ever had. The sausages were also top notch and clearly sourced locally. The biggest plus? It wasn’t greasy. The potatoes were fresh and delicious and not overly saturated in oil or grease. I think I had the mexi-Benny, ground beef, avocado, so good ✌????????????. Definitely worth the stop.

Laura Ogden

The Food was awesome & Ann was the Sweetest

Evie Eshpeter

Their classic eggs Benny was good. Not too keen on the roast spuds. FYI, their bathroom is downstairs.

Amy Hurst

Great food but can have a waiting list.

Roxci The Explorer

Dine in

Christina Gillis

Has to be the best eggs Benedict in the Comox Valley. Creative kitchen and world class hollandaise sauce. Service was quick and friendly. Finally, I'm a big guy and the portion was great. Left feeling full and will be back for sure. Get the hash browns "West Coast" style. The Cycling SalesMan @ Brian McLean GM

Last time I tried to go here they were closed so when I saw they were open Sunday morning I was there early. Glad I came as they are far and away the best breakfast I've had in the Comox Valley. Bar none. Their meats are not the usual fare and are the highlight of the meal for me. It is nice to see nice bright yellow yolks instead of the pale, sad ones from most places. Great service and a cozy little spot makes the Hen and Hog the perfect breakfast spot in the area.

Corey Hobbis

Omg!! This is my new favorite place!!

Danielle Windecker

Awesome spot, ordered the waffle and a side of bacon, it was awesome, nice cozy spot for breakfast. Food was awesome, whole staff was super friendly definitely would return based on food alone , the staff and atmosphere were definitely worth recommending

Best breakfast ever!.. If your a big Benny fan you will love this place ????????????????

Tammy Duncan

Wasn't able to get in but looked good through the window. Staff didn't let us know how long the wait was going to be so we sadly left

Paul McKenna

Fantastic brunch. Bathrooms meh

Danny Whaley

This is the taco Benny and omelette. Superb!

Andrew Bouzane

IMPRESSIVE!!! for a petite, limited curb appeal, restaurant. Food is consistently excellent & the service outstanding. Atmosphere is warm, friendly, clean, cozy & inviting. Alway's a line-up (even out the door - so staff often serve the waiting customers sample tidbits). It's a definitely a busy, trendy place to eat. But once you've eaten here, you'll understand why. Vegetarian options, good cup of Joe, cute decor. It's a all around exceptional culinary experience. My favourite place for breakfast/brunch. Happiness is... eating at The Hen and Hog.

Michael Hinz-Berg

I would drive from Victoria to have breakfast here. Comfortable chairs, great staff, and most importantly of all ... DELICIOUS FOOD!

Amy Krull

There was a wait at the door which I was expecting and not a problem. A very long wait for food once I’d ordered- also not a huge problem. I’ve been to the Hen and Hog cafe 3 times now and each time the blonde girl working there has been very rude, short and almost passive aggressive- enough to ruin any enjoyment of having breakfast out. I’ve only ever been polite to her but for some reason everything I ask is an inconvenience. The only time she was friendly was when I was paying the bill and then it was almost a comical personality change. The other girl working there was friendly and polite but I won’t be returning or recommending the place to anyone in the future. The Tidal cafe in Comox has very friendly service, also great food and an online waitlist. I hope you can improve but you’ve lost my family’s business.

eric mcculloch

Very nice place to eat. Very friendly and the food was fabulous. Highly recommend.

Craig Lee

Wyatt Shaw

Roberta Mooney

I love breakfast out. There are some very good breakfast places in town but H&H is THE BEST! Good, fresh, tasty food. Good value. Attentive and pleasant service. And the coffee: to die for!

Mariah Klus

Wade Black

Best breakfast spot in the comox valley, best hollandaise sauce I've had in years!

Ry UnRuly

Amazing service and several different kinds of hollandaise. Offered to put my free coffee refill in a to-go cup without being asked. Can be a bit of a late fee but so so so worth the wait

Leo Augusto

Always a great breakfast!

Rex Turgano

Visited during a trip to the island with my partner and a couple of friends, and we loved the cafe! Breakfast was delicious, portions were huge, and the staff were all super friendly.

Sean Bryan

Seems like all the reviews for this place are very positive but I don't agree. Breakfast was plain old and a very small portion for the price. If you have lot's of money and don't mind spending it all on a tiny plate of boring food you'll be happy here.

Timothy Schultz

Fred Harris

Wait was only 20mins. Pretty good considering covid and how busy the place is. Staff is friendly. Food was AMAZING!! And now I have to come back to Courtney and Hen & Hog for the crepes.

Barry Bissoondatt

Certainly the best breakfast restaurant in the Comox valley! The huevos rancheros are absolutely amazing

Lacey Nutt

Delicious food as always but it seemed to take longer than usual to get our food this time. Not a big deal but that's where good service can at least check in with guests to let them know that there is a delay or that it won't be much longer, etc. Got seated quickly despite the usual lineup to get in.

Townsend Nancy

Delicious breakfast yet again. Lynn in the kitchen works wonders and always puts out wonderful food. Service was fine, but the food was definitely the highlight

Chelsea Chorneyko

Wonderful Customer service. and great food. my food got mixed up a some, and they fixed it right away. definitely recommend it - but arrive early they filled up quick.

Daniel Littmann

Evil Ogre

We arrived before 8 on a Sunday so we beat the rush. Waitress was friendly and happy. They have interesting variations on eggs Benedict, I went with the Mexican benny and my wife got the Fruit crapes. Both were really good. A little on the expensive side for breakfast but really good quality ingredients and tasted amazing, so worth the price in my opinion. Will definitely go back again to try some of the other benny's.

Android Jes (AndroidJes)

Good food good portions. Great service. Not enough seats had to wait.

Daddy Dirt

Great food

Chad Hagen

Great snappy service and a very cozy little breakfast spot. Make sure they aren't busy or don't go with someone you don't want to rub elbows with because this place is SMALL , but in a charming way. Good selection of Benny's and traditional breakfast flair with nice unique variations available.

Christine Yake

Phillip McDowell

Absolutely amazing food great portions for the adults and kids. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone that wants quality. Also very impressed with the staff and how friendly and professional they are. Thank you.

Colin Davies

Amazing service and food

Sheila P

Best egg bennies anywhere - loved it when they upped the heat with a bit of chipotle sauce

Black Fox

It's a rare thing to come across a breakfast place that meets all the requirements of being completely amazing! The menu was small which made it easy to select the perfect item, savory or sweet, enough to choose from... All local ingredients. Atmosphere cheery, and service was top notch. My coffee was never empty, and I love that the waitress took the time to listen to the elderly's wishes and made suggestions to suit their needs. (In-law is not an outside of the box eater). Step sons response to this amazing breakfast meal? DEEE-lightful and it really was!!

Susan M

Great breakfast, gets cozy

Great bennies and service. The lemon & dill hollandaise was zesty, light yet still creamy.

April Janele

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and this boy likes to eat. Hen and Hog Cafe was fantastic. Small diner style and great food/coffee.

D Dunn

Friendly staff, great food, serving only breakfasts, always busy but worth the wait

I came because of the good reviews. My experience was not so grest. Food just mediocre. Don't know what the hype is.

Amazing brunches here!

Kenneth Reichert

Went here with my French class for breakfast. It was very good, but not as good as others. It's cozy and feels like your Grandma is making you breakfast, which is awesome.

Nik Galego

They were friendly and very helpful. Food was fresh and local. It was great. You must give it a try

Mandy Kuelz

Recommended by a local, and for good reason. Cozy, kind & delicious are the 3 words I’d use for this breakfast spot, you’ll definitely want to consider buying a jar of their home made hollandaise! Breakfast potatoes were tender and spiced to perfection too - and if you prefer a sweet breakfast, hubby highly recommends the stuffed crepes.

Benoit Guimond

Steven McDonald

Breakfast is tops

Jeff P

Absolutely unreal breakfast. Quote possibly the best I've ever had

Daniel O'Brien

They have a full mouth watering breakfast menu. It was so hard to decide what to get. The food is locally sourced and tastes amazing. The wait was a little long due to their popularity but it was well worth sticking around for! Hopefully one day they'll consider upgrading to a larger building, though the atmosphere and space is still comfortable enough. They now hold the title of being the supplier of the most food I've ever eaten in one sitting. They even doggy bagged the few bites I couldn't finish. I'll be back.

Danielle Doucette

Courtney Stevens

First time in...breakfast was perfect!

Barret Batenchuk

A Amazing place for breakfast.

Amanda Jarrett

Such great food! Coffee is strong, servers are friendly. There will almost certainly be a wait, but they are quick to get food to tables so it shouldn't take too long to get in. Everything I've had has been delicious. If you love Eggs Benedict, you'll lose your mind here.

Dan Deranleau

Absolutely the best food and service. This restaurant sets the standard far above any others in its class. Friendly fun staff. We are so lucky to have this restaurant in our community. Love it!!!

Thomas Thomas

Well I've found the best eggs benny on the island so far...mmm

James Wheeler

If you have ever wondered why there is always a line up outside....it's because the food is THAT GOOD and worth the wait. My first time there was memorable - ordered off the menu and was AMAZED when the food arrived.

Emily St. Jacques

Long wait

Paige Whitfield

Shaun Weima

We came for breakfast on Saturday February 6th. Only waited about 20 minutes to get a table. Fantastic staff, awesome food. Would definitely recommend the eggs Benedict. But will have to come back for the crepes because they look awesome..

Joan Mercier

1st time eating here. Hidden gem.

Jamie Clan

I haven't been here since it was called the roadrunner cafe. And I'm glad I came back. It was the best breakfast I've had in a while. Their Benny's are fantastic. One of, if not the best place to get breakfast here in the Valley.

Steve

We had a fantastic breakfast here! My husband had the Blackstone Bennie and I had Classic Bacon and Eggs. The bacon was so delicious! I have allergies (dairy/soy) so I didn't have toast but the hashbrowns were yummy. Wishing we found it at the beginning of our trip instead of on the last day

4 minutes after we were done eating the woman who was not even our server came up to us and said “I’m gonna have to ask you to leave we need your table.” Without even a please or thank you. Ive never experienced being asked to leave in any restaurant.

It getting worse every year unfortunately. Waiting time was 40 min then 30 for cold food. Taste was below average compared to the reputation.

Hearty breakfast

aguynamedjosh

Very disappointing. Wont go back. Poor service. Had to use a steak knife to cut my hard french toast. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Coffee was good. Cashier was very nice. I watched every table having to ask for a refill coffee.

Alicia Sam

We waited by the door for at least 5 minutes. They were busy so we were totally understanding. The hostess seated the older couple that arrived after us! I would understand if she had at least acknowledged us but she didn't. Didn't try the food because we just left.

Rob

Good food but really cramped space

Jon Spade (JonSpade)

Great food friendly staff.

Karie Rheaume

Cool little cafe with an outdoor patio space attached to the comox valley Inn. Benny was delicious. Chipotle hollandaise sauce is an option. Eggs were poached as requested. Coffee was on the weaker side. Would recommend.

Rhaye Hall

Absolutely worth the wait! Staff are friendly and the food is amazing! The eggs Benny were perfect and my husband said the huevos rancheros was the best breakfast he has ever had!

Geoff Stewart

Awesome food!!

Jeremy Graham

Would highly recommend for brunch. The mix and match Bennys is a game changer, and the crepes were amazing! Wish we could have tried everything.

Great food and friendly staff. The only down side is that's it's a very small place, it's always full, be prepared to wait for a table.

Barbara Lemky

Chris nivo

Yikes, the food is pretty bad. From my seat I could see the kitchen… they were microwaving stuff. The potatoes too salty and the eggs completely bland. The coffee was classic diner style: burnt and tasted stale. I don’t know why so many reviews say it’s so delicious here. I mean, they do seem to try, to keep up with the amount of customers they have, but it’s simply not good. In good news, service was fast, and we only waited 20 mins for a table. The server we had was lovely, courteous and polite. Despite that I’d never go back here for breakfast due to the food alone.

Danny Gevaar

We were waiting outside for 5ish mins. Very understandable because it's a busy breakfast place. the hostess saw we were waiting and helped the lady who budged in front of us first. I'm not a confrontational person so we just left. I was very excited to explore the local places we just moved here.

Lovelife

Great food, wonderful service! Very small location so not a lot of seating but a lovely little gem.

Very small (about twenty six seats) cafe that is connected to the motel. There was a lineup when I arrived but it was only an twenty minute wait. I had the yam benny and it was delicious! Service was quick and friendly.

Lawry Willis

Food was average, staff was efficient but not friendly. Due to line ups, they didn't encourage you to relax and enjoy your breakfast or offer a 2nd cup of coffee, etc. Not a place I would come back to.

The coffee spoon had been used in someone else's coffee, it was dirty. The clean cutlery was placed on a microfiber cloth used for dusting and what appeared to be used for removing cobwebs and my guests eggs benny had a hair in it. We heard great things about hen and hog, sadly the food was also bland.

Ina Davies

Its a busy place, I hope you have time to wait...but don't worry they spoil you while your waiting ..it's awesome food, great service. Gotta eat here

Very busy, and you'll be waiting for a table as it's small but the breakfast quality is top notch with local ingredients and good service ????

This is one of those tiny little places that don't take reservations but if you are there they treat you like royalty. The food was so great and WHERE DID THEY FIND THEIR KITCHEN STAFF?!!! Seriously I would steal them in a New York second if I had a restaurant to share with them!! Presentation is everything and the plates were edible art!

Love love love love the Hen and Hog. I am frequent visitor so much so that they know my order as soon as I come in. The food is so delicious and they are so detail oriented. Whenever I have visitors this is a place I will take them.

Rab Do

amazing breaky, great bennys

TONY Tessier

My party stopped here on the way through. The place is very small so there can be a lineup for seating but they also have some outdoor space. The food was absolutely what we needed after a few long days of hiking. I had the huevos rancheros with the poutine hash and the others had the breakfast sandwich. It was all fantastic and the service was great.

John K

Never had a bad meal here. I had the fresh fruit crepes and omg it was the best ever!

Miranda LaRoque

Mary Allin

Great breakfast! Home made salsa, guacamole, and hot sauce! Food for every palate. It is not just bacon. Loved it!

Anne Chorneyko

This place is a fantastic, family owned and operated kind of business. Great fresh local food. It's always busy, but always worth the wait.

Gary Nichol

Neil Fanstone

Service was great as was the food. Get there early though! It fills up fast.

Darwin MacMillan

Lotten Lagerquist

Delicious!

Jody Collins

The food is always stellar! Usually a line up but totally worth the wait.

Dustin Purden

Googled best breakfast and this came up, so we were sure to hit it up while up from Nanaimo. Basically...wow!! The food is better than the pictures and that's hard to do as the presentation of the food is top notch. The waitress( I forgot to take her name but had Blondie hair, fairly young) was awesome. I can't recommend this place enough as the benedict is unbeatable. Everything is locally sourced, the English muffins from Vassili's were great. We'll stop again before we head home, all this while having a free breakfast buffet at our hotel, which we decline in favour of this new spot. ????

Robert George

Fantastic bennies! The chipotle and regular hollandaise sauces were both excellent, eggs nicely poached. The veggie benny had a great selection of veggies that made for a great flavour combination. Coffee and service both good too.

YAY!!! We weren't the first through the door, but we were lucky enough to get a table right away. Darren and his crew (special shootout to Savannah) have done a terrific job of adjusting to the new reality. Congratulations all round. Happy to see you back -- still the best omelette in the Valley!!

Good food and service

Food was great! I would have given 4 or 5 stars, but had to keep my coat on the whole time because it was so cold in the restaurant.

Absolutely Loved it. The food was amazing. Great breakfast menu. They only serve breakfast and close at 130pm. Nice outdoor patio(a little noisy because of a busy road but that can't be helped) and the service was very good.

This is an awesome restaurant where you will be amazed by the simple yet commanding menu. The best place ever for Eggs Benedict in ways you only dreamed about, or one of the other delicious choices that you want to go back for, time after time. A place for friends and family or just 2 people looking for a special experience to share

Angie Woznow

Best breakfast spot on the island!!!

Megan Hackett

Eaten breakfast here a couple times now. Food has been very good. Small space but great service. Food has a strong focus on locally sourced ingredients. The sourdough toast was delicious.

This is amazing place!! The culinary art is out of this world. Every dish is amazing and most of all their fresh fruit is to die for. So jealous and wish that there was a hen and hog restaurant in Victoria.

Bruce Johnston

Great breakfast!

Delicious food. Had to wait for a table (normal for a Sunday I’m sure, no issue here). Our server was very friendly. Nice atmosphere inside. Everything was great until we were rushed out of our table (by someone other than our server). Her literal words “I don’t mean to rush you, but we need your table now”. We were sitting maybe 30-45 min which included ordering, waiting for our meal, and eating. I will probably go again. But obviously I need to be prepared to inhale my food and chug my coffee. Thanks for the great eats.

I was really looking forward to eating at the Hog and Hen . I had tried to about a year before but was time restricted and we couldn't wait for a table and left. This time it was the same. We waited about 15 minutes but I had planned for that . The service was quick and friendly but we were right after a table of 4 then two tables of one and our food ended up taking a long time. The table of 4 and the one table of one that was literally seated under a minute after us had already finished their food a bit before ours arrived. It was just the two of us and I had an Omelette and my Dad had the French Toast Platter with Bacon. The omelette was pretty good but had a different taste to it which I thought was the sausage . It wasnt terrible just not a flavor I enjoyed. I noticed my Dad hadn't eaten any of his Bacon except a little bite and when I asked him he said he didnt like it. I realized then that must have been the flavor I tasted and wasn't a fan of. I was a bit disappointed being excited to finally get to try it.The bacon was locally sourced as well as other items on the menu which appeals to me but unfortunately I didnt like it I ended up eating maybe half of my omlette because they cook the toppings right into the egg and wasn't able to pick the bacon out. The service was good my only thought was that they might have asked how our food was especially seeing the bacon and a big part of my breakfast wasn't eaten . I would try it again possibly if I am in Courtenay and they are open . I would just leave out the bacon ????

Best place in town for breakfast.

One of the few places that can make a decent Eggs Benny. Hash browns could be better l

Cheryl Steidel

Went for a nice Valentines breakfast. We are local but had never gone in because it is always busy on the weekends. The food was awesome. Great taste. Well prepared and presented with friendly attentive service. We will make another trip in.

This is a very small cafe that can be very busy, but they are friendly and the food is good. They have various unique hollandaise sauces and make a great eggs benny. I love the Chipotle hollandaise, yum! A great, homey little place. I highly recommend.

My friends raved about the delicious food! I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because there is no real vegan dish. I didn't love my meal but I'm sure it would've been good with the non-vegan ingredients. :) I hope next time I come I will have another option!

Prepare to wait, and rest assured its totally worth it. Absolutely delicious brunch!

Food was for the most part good. However way too much lemon in the dill hollandaise sauce. Signature hash browns are very plain and some slightly under. Outside area was not good don’t sit outside there is a smoking area right beside the outside dinning area and there were people smoking almost the entire time, lest than ten feet away. Servers were nice as usual and for the most part did a great job. However we sat first and they went to a table that sat after us first, I know easy mistake to make. They deliver your food then everyone outside was sitting for what felt like forever and had to go inside to say they would like to pay and leave. They focus more on the inside obviously because that’s where people want to sit. so make sure you sit inside and it will be an amazing experience, outside not at all. If you have more than 4 people don't bother going because you will need to wait longer and split up or sit outside. Trust me you don’t want to sit outside! Normally I would give this place a 5 out of 5. Outside experience 1 out of 5! And thats being generous???? no need to get upset, honest review, room for improving overall outside experience

The restaurant is small and very busy, which is great for them. Our server was friendly and handled our table well considering how busy they were. Two of the four at our table enjoyed their breakfast, which is why i gave it a higher score of four stars. I ordered the benny with spinach. The eggs were cooked perfectly but the english muffin was heavy and undercooked and the potatoes were undercooked too. I had the dill sauce and it was too heavy for my taste. The other person ordered the veggie omelette and was underwhelmed and found the bread too heavy. The other two loved their breakfast of french toast and eggs. This place has great reviews but it just wasn't my kind of breakfast.

Ryan Helmus

They are better then the space they occupy. Great food, fresh, clean and presented beautifully. Coffee In a beautiful hand made pottery mug from Hornby Island. The space isn't the best, they can only hold under 20 people. But that doesn't take away from their amazing staff, that handled turning away customers very well as well as handling these stressful situations with a genuine smile on their face. Best breakfast I've had in the valley.

Alex Osborne

Good food, good service

Jamie Yeomans

Very good food at a good price. Very friendly staff. There is a but of a wait sometimes but the munchies they pass out and the actual meal are well worth the wait.

Love the food and the waitresses;)

Neil Allen

Stopped in for breakfast while in town. Staff were accommodating, we had a toddler who needed a high chair. I enjoyed my breakfast, two eggs with bacon and toast. If you've not been I highly recommend giving it a try.

Best Eggs Bennies in town, and that says a lot ! 3 choices of Hollandaise sauce. Cozy big coffee mugs. Waffles to die for, and attentive wait staff????

Sandy Heyman

Always good!

Matt McDougall

Decent food and great portions.

We have been here twice while on our family vacation and the food and service has been excellent both times. It's a small place so get there early and you won't be disappointed, even if you have to wait please do! Great food, great people and all local :)

Best breakfast around

Anne Marie Vanstone

As always, an amazing breakfast. Love this place. Can be a bit of a wait sometimes but definitely worth every second!

Amy Campbell

I don't think it's ok for a breakfast restaurant to take 1 hr 15 mins to deliver food after ordering. We noticed parties of 2 being seated after us and finished breakfast well before our food arrived. They seem to also be accepting takeout orders at a rapid clip which also appear to more important than dine in patrons. I think ownership needs to be more realistic about their kitchen capacity as this was a painful experience. Food is decent but not worth the wait. Definitely not recommended for families.

Shawn Tennant

Excellent breakfast but make sure to get there early as they are not very big and they fill up quickly. I had the classic breakfast, eggs, bacon, hash browns & toast and it was just delicious. My wife had French toast, she thought it was a little dry but still yummy and the fruit bowl was excellent.

Steve R

The food was great, the service was rather slow but that was a factor due to the density of customers so it evens out. The ambience feels rather comfortable and relaxed. Will definitely return to enjoy the food again.

Trevor Davies

Very good food, friendly staff, and decent portion sizes.

Gareth Coward

Hidden gem with the nicest staff and best cross-section of Eggs Benedict this side of Arnold... ;)

Arin Brungardt

Great little place. Our go-to for breakfast whenever we are in Courtenay. Their eggs Benedict are awesome! It is a tiny little place so expect a wait on weekends.
