Reviews of Best Coast Restaurant (Fish Shop)

Jean-Marc Cassista

Awesome staff. Great eating experience. Menu changes are spot on, every time. Dress as you want. Open and inviting atmosphere. My second time there and was even better!

Justine Wagner

Great restaurant! It does get very busy around dinner time so plan to eat at off times or make a reservation. The soft pretzels were a perfect snack to enjoy with a beer, and the mussels with green curry sauce were delicious. The breakfast was outstanding! Guests of the Hew & Draw Hotel get breakfast included, and it was the best "hotel breakfast" we've had. Perfect Eggs Benedict and French Toast.

Nobody answered the phone for about a half hour, finally got through at just after 10am to order breakfast to pick up. Was told that unless I'm staying at the hotel that they stopped serving breakfast although it says online that breakfast is until 11am. Sunday morning on a long weekend.

Loved it!

Absolutely fantastic food, comfortable environment and friendly staff. Came here to celebrate my girlfriends birthday, we had Soft pretzels, Parmesan fries, Fish tacos and Steak! We weren’t waiting long for our food and it was amazing. Definitely coming back!

I went for brunch with family - I enjoyed the cod cakes and the service was friendly and attentive. A good addition to downtown Corner Brook!

Chris Sargent

Great food with lots of local flavours. Friendly service and a modern atmosphere.

We had risotto balls, pork belly, lamb shanks, chicken with wild rice, lemon meringue tart and chocolate torte. All delicious. Washed down with beer on tap from broomstick brewing. Modern space with great atmosphere.

Good food and very friendly staff, very very slow though. For me and my son, we had a fish and chips and a kids burger. Took about an hour and a half to get our food. This was perfect for us as I was trying fo kill some time, so if you are looking to kill some time or have drinks with food its one of the best places Ive been. Not great for a quick bite at all though.

I love this place. Food I used to frequent here before the pandemic and I would say the food is even better now. Beer I know best coast doesn't make the beer but it's some of the best executed common craft styles. There's a beer here for everyone. Staff I've always come during peak times (Friday lunch) and had top notch service. And even if I didn't... we're in a pandemic and I think we could all be kind to front-of-line workers and take it easy on the harsh reviews at a time like this. Decor This is the nicest space in town, hands down.

Worst food and service

first last

This restuarant does not live up to it's hype. Highly disappointed. Their were no vegetarian meal options other than appetizers of deep fried risotto balls (which did not come in a sauce but with a side of strange aioli) and french fries that came with a small side of curry soup. Very bizarre, fries looked great but were highly oversalted. The beef tacos were so full that you couldn't pick them up to eat which isn't overly bad but none of the grease was drained from the meat.. also very sweet tasting. Would be a lot better if it came with less filing. Not enjoyable. The chicken thigh sliders with spicy slaw was 85% bun, one small bite of chicken and wasn't spicy at all. The garlic sriracha shrimp was rubbery and had a very off putting taste. Overall, nothing we ordered was worth a fraction of the cost we paid. They were also out of several beers from the menu. Would not recommend. Maybe their full dinner menu items might be okay but the appetizers fell extremely short of what we were expecting.

This might be the worst service I received in all of Newfoundland. I've been travelling for a month along Canada's east coast and I never felt so ignored as I did at Boomstick in Corner Brook, NL. The beer is fine but the service inside the brewpub attached to the hotel was abysmal. I arrived ahead of dinner service to avoid a waiting list and neither myself nor the party ahead of me was greeted. We had to stop a server for assistance since a sign asked us to wait for seating. Nobody asked for contact information as does nearly every other establishment in Canada. I needed to seat myself at the bar. Despite the clumsy bartender and multiple servers making eye contact with me from the drink station, not a single employee could bring themselves to say hello. I needed to stop the bartender from pretending to tidy the bar in order to get a drink. He barely acknowledged the request. To the attached brewery's credit, the beer was decent. I had a rosemary gose to start and a pale ale to follow. I wasn't offered water, though. I needed to ask for my second and final beer. I wasn't offered food but asked for the fish tacos. I got them about thirty minutes later as my second beer emptied. The tacos were dry. THE TAKEAWAY Bootleg Brewing Company is down the street. The beer is better. The lighting is better. The music better. The service is vastly superior. They also do $20 charcuterie boxes that are far more enjoyable than anything you'll find at Boomstick according to friends. They also have cocktails worth drinking, unlike the Boomstick. When in Corner Brook, head to Bootleg.

Great service and ambience. Recommend the superb Surf & Turf, and the beer, off course!

Sarah Wade

Fantastic spot! During our stay at the Hew and Draw, we ate breakfast from here each morning. Portions were quite large and delicious - especially their homemade bread! We loved the friendliness of the staff and the atmosphere.

Luke Norman

Beer is good. Food is mediocre at best. Service is absolutely dreadful. Management indifferent at best - from other reviews, they are clearly aware of the issues, and seem to have made no effort to resolve them. For better beer, go to the brewery up the street. For the food they should be serving, and infinitely better service, go to the Crooked Feeder. This place has 3.7 stars, well below other restaurants in town, for a very good reason.

Kaleb Heath

Best restaurant in town! Ambiance is great, servers are super nice and helpful, food is beautifully presented and taste even better. Ps. Seating by the fireplace is the best ;)

Tony Scott

Stopped by this evening for a meal with my family. The meal was wonderful, the beer was great, the mock tails that others had were good, and the service was fantastic. Quite recommended.

Sarah Park

Highly recommend Best Coast Restaurant. The restaurant itself is very beautiful, the staff was very friendly and the beer was amazing! The food, as always, was incredible! We’ve had every meal here, and it has all been delicious. You’ll definitely want to eat here if you come to Corner Brook! Amazing local business! Also, to those people commenting on the speed of service, I just want to point out that great food takes time to prepare, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is to be enjoyed and not rushed!

Jason

I had the best coast burger. It was the best burger I have ever eaten. The whole meal and the drinks were fantastic, as was the service and atmosphere. I will be back for sure. Highly recommend.

Robert Murphy

Your website is a joke. Went on to see the menu but can not make out anything as the site is way to small for any one to read. I wonder if this is done intentionally!!

Jonathan Snow

Great place for our anniversary, the meals were delicious and service was great. Never disappoints!

John Meaney

Service & meal were excellent. Will definitely return

Carolyn Janes

We waited 45 minutes for our order only to find out that it had not been passed on to the kitchen. (The server did indicate we would be given a discount should we want to reorder). May be a great place to go on a hot day because the A/C was up on bust!

Jody Hewitt

We ate on the rooftop patio. Very very slow getting our drinks and meal. We ordered the wings and risotto balls. The wings were just regular zinger wings so nothing special there. The risotto balls were good. Would suggest a small bar on the roof so drinks could be served a lot quicker at least! Especially if you have to wait so long for your food. Overpriced in my opinion. Will go back to try something from the main menu downstairs now the weather is getting cooler. Hopefully will have a better experience!

Jessica Macdonald

I was looking forward to trying a new local restaurant when home on vacation and was very disappointed. Showed up for breakfast and ordered at 10:30. The place was only half full and we had to wait until almost 12 to get our food. Only saw the server twice the entire time in the restaurant. When the food finally came, the eggs were not cooked as asked, the bacon was dry and the toast had no butter on it. We didn’t even have cutlery at our table and had to ask for it. Food was mediocre at best, overpriced and took way to long. I will not be back.

The Carter Family

This is a lovely spot! Great food, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. I only gave 4.5 stars because we had to wait an extremely long time for our food. However, our waitress assured us this was not at all the norm and to compensate for it management gave us our entire meal on the house! We didn't even have to ask, they initiated the gesture. We were extremely surprised by this and quite pleased. As first impressions go, this place is a win and definitely someplace we will go again. Highly recommend!

Keith Doran

Tacos were garbage(over priced old El Paso taco kit) sliders were decent, fries were alright. Service and atmosphere was top notch.

Jesse Church

Food is mediocre. Beer is worse. Overpriced and slow. Nice space, but that's about it. Needs more attention to detail in many ways.

Darrell Hutchings

Our daughter introduced us to this restaurant on Monday for lunch. We had the cod sandwich with Parmesan fries and my wife had the fish tacos. Let me tell you it was delicious. The craft beer was also very tasty. The services was outstanding. Mike thanks for taking care of us. Anyone visiting Corner Brook should make this a must dine restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.
