Reviews of Riptide Marine Pub (Night Club)

Lori Anne

I’ll never set foot in this restaurant again Had a party of 20 amd 3 are Unvaxxed. The man was rude fast when I asked if they could come in an eat. NO THEY ARENT ALLOWED! Said it’s the law This breaks five laws Mandates aren’t laws. Time food sucked the last time anyways

Brian Hillier

Great food,nice atmosphere.

Robert

Great location by the harbour. Service and food was good.

Michelle Reader

Excellent service and excellent food! Their Moroccan wings are the BEST!!!

Debbie Johnston

Food was good, service excellent, food great, our server was lovely.

Camille Soper

Excellent place but there wasn't a lot of "standard" non seafood meals to choose from. We are plain eaters and don't enjoy different things in our meals and neither of us are seafood lovers. That being said, the steak sandwiches we ordered were cooked to perfection and the overall meal was delicious. The pricing was standard, the service was awesome and all COVID measures are in place. Would definitely recommend it.

Tatiana

Been here a couple times, the consensus of everyone both times has been "the food was nothing special but the ambience was nice". Would go here again only if nothing else is open again. The fish and chip wrap was pretty good though.

Gary Taje

Incredible good and prompt friendly service

Raoul vM

Great restaurant. Went fishing in the morning, brought the fish we caught to the restaurant. Later in the evening it was all prepared. Very happy with the chef, compliments once again! Sound is just one thing in the restaurant, it gets very loud (due to high ceiling?!)

Love the steak sands at Riptide. It's made quite differently and tastes sooo good. But last night's steak was grissly. I should have said something but it was so busy there.

Ivana Kresojevic

First time and it was great! Huge pub with wonderful food and excellent service. Would eat there again for sure...

KD Pirahna

Good food and drinks. Nice atmosphere. Went here with some co workers.

Greg Brown

Just had lunch, great food, amazing service. Our server Taylor, was kind and attentive, she was very very busy (Monday afternoon and they are busy with locals really great sign) Taylor didn't miss a beat with our orders. Highly recommend if you're in Campbell river. Really awesome experience! Thank you Riptide and thank you Taylor for a great lunch!

Gayle Wigmore

Good food and service with a nice view as well. I had the Ginger salmon salad and it was very tasty. We also had the Thai rice bowl with Chicken and Calamari with yam fries.

Chris D'ambrosio

Came here 4 years ago for lunch I order there Wings they were very good friendly service

Heather Parr

I had salmon crusted salad and it was amazing. Hubby had steak sandwich and it was a hit as well.

Larry Aucoin

Wow. Great food. High quality. Beet salad excellent. Chowder above average. Seafood melody. Very nice. Beef ribs were least favourite Id say i was the best place we found on our trip to British Columbia We though the food was very good. Its a place you can make nice memories sitting by the ocean. The staff were very nice. Were from Ontario and i wish they would move here. So good and we had a nice time savouring our great dishes. A plus plus A great place hidden in the back facing the ocean. Not cheap but very high end. World class 5 star resturant. They are the top of the mark. Aaa plus plus plus. Way to go. Riptide. You rock !!!!!!!!

Lisa Cottier

Lots of drink options and a great casual menu for every diner. Mostly a gathering spot for a slightly older crowd (40-60) or couples. The interior is starting to look a bit dated/worn but it's still quite clean, and they have a small patio which offers a slight view of the marina/water. Service is fair....they are friendly but not always as excited/thrilled to be serving you as you might get in some other establishments. They don't often provide recommendations, but if you don't like what you ordered they will do their best to make you happy. The prices are extremely fair and the serving sizes moderate.

Aqeel Shahriar

Food were delicious and good service. Waiting time was around 30 mins but worth it!

Foreverblue

Great view of the harbour. Food was really good too. Selection of drinks like coolers was quite poor but otherwise no complaints and would go again.

Sergio Tellez Galindo

They "kicked" me out cus didn't had my second ID on me but they were kind to tell me that and recommended another bar that was close. Bathrooms nice tho and there was an ATM so thumbs up. Couldn't charge my phone in the useless contacts.

Really good pub. The portion was generous. I had the special seafood steamer. It was filled with mussels, clams, salmon, whitefish, shrimp and scallops in a yummy pesto cream sauce. Price was ok $29. Parking was a little hard to find.

Ryan Hobenshield

Wes flew us in to the top end of the Nootka Trail and it was a great take off in windy conditions. Then on the way home he picked is up at Friendly cove and it was like sitting in a lounge chair. Great people, great service.

Sharon Lu Fortin

We ordered fish and chips and a plate of seafood linguine with rosé sauce.... it was very delicious!

Sheryl TM

They are doing their best under COVID. Food was good. I had their tomatoes, boccacchino with basil salad.

Justward 13

Decent pub fare. Large seating area. Waterfront location.

Laura Agostini

One of our favourite Campbell River spots! Stopped in mid afternoon on the long weekend. Great food as always but a blatently uncomfortable lack of covid protocol. Despite the lifting of restrictions staff leaning in on tables, speaking within a foot of your face is unwelcome. I'd hate to see shutdowns again. As a business owner I won't give a bad star rating to such a great place, but please improve basic distancing at minimum.

Wayne Salekin

Amazing place. Great service drinks and food.

Helen Bozman

Food is great. Staff are great. Coffee is to expensive.

Mud Whore

It was good food and good drinks..its nice to finally go out for a date with the wife

Ashley Swartz

Location is a definate 5 star. The server deserves 5 stars. 5 stars for being accessible. Why the 3 stars ? Remember, reviews are subjective. Both my friend and I felt the ceasear salad dressing was too salty. He complained the seafood chowder was just okay and my fried red snapper bites mixed with the ceasar salad had more croutons than the snapper. Yes. We would go back again, and I do reccomend you try it too.

Three vaccinated people rudely turned away because my teenager didn’t have ID. (Had proof of vaccination). The old lady said, “We’re following the ACTUAL rules.” Apparently the staff are following their own rules, because as soon as we left we looked it up, and sure enough, youth STILL don’t need ID along with their proof of vaccination. Lost our business for good. Went to Wasabiya (a better restaurant) right after and got right in. Riptide has been the only restaurant to turn us away since the mandates. Ridiculous.

John “Jay” McGowan

Who would have thought that it would be difficult to find an oyster dinner in Campbell River. Fortunately, Riptide came through (partially) by providing an oyster burger or an oyster appetizer. Neither would be my first choice, but they did a credible job of both preparation and presentation. The oyster burger was one of the best I have had. This restaurant is comfortably furnished and I noticed the staff taking exceptional care with safety protocols. Service was prompt, efficient, and courteous. This destination was recommended by a local person, always a good start to any decision. The Riptide Marnie Pub is worth another visit in the future.

Amy Sciezer

I had an amazing experience. The service was great and quick. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable. The food...wow. We had the seafood linguini, the black and blue burger and the muscle and clam plate. The alfredo seafood linguini was spectacular, creamy and the perfect portion size. The black and blue burger was juicy and what a true canadian burger should be. If I lived in the community, I'd be back often. Oh and the carmel Cheesecake. Get it.

Sandy Partyka

Ordered takeout dinners recently. Dino bones were amazingly tender & the beef dip was very tasty. ❤️

Tracy Tymm

Fish and chips, local beer, crab cakes, root beer cheese cake. Also a fun place to eat. We sat on the upper level and totally enjoyed ourselves.

Dave Patterson

Tough to find but worth the effort. Great food, great service. Worth the stop if you are in or near Campbell River.

Brenda Bauer

Excellent! Food, drink, service, vibe, view - everything was awesome. We loved the beef dip, French onion soup, and mushroom chicken burger. Our server, Maddie, was friendly and provided great service from start to finish. Timing was perfect and she was very genuine. Enjoyed the view of the marina from our patio table but the inside decor is lovely and we look forward to dining in next visit.

Teri Fillion

After seeing their happy hour was until 5:30pm in the newspaper, we headed there after work with friends. It turns out it was a misprint (it ends at 5pm) and the server was not helpful at all about the error. We ended up heading to another local establishment instead as the whole interaction was quite unpleasant.

Bill Thompson

Friendly staff. Good food. Really nice ambiance.

Judith Attfield

We had a fabulous lunch, made even better by the professionalism of our server, Taylor. Thank you Taylor, and thank you Riptide for your great service and fabulous food.

Dale Watson

Went to the Pub with Family (4 adults and 2 teenagers) when they reopened for inside service. It was busy as heck, but our waitress was great and the food was amazing.

Sean Turvey

I enjoyed our visit here. The ambiance was great. Though they did have some TVs playing sports, they weren't in your face like many other pubs. The place was packed when we got there, due to Xmas parties but it wasn't too loud. The host was very accommodating. Because of the parties there wasn't any tables when we got there. After sitting at the bar, he brought us to a table that had opened up. By the time the rest of our group arrived he had a larger table ready for us. The food was pretty good for pub food. They did have to bring my wife's nachos out 3 times due to kitchen mistakes. When she got it the way she ordered it, it was pretty good. They didn't charge us for them, so kudos. Where they really stood out was the live entertainment. A jazz duo named Easy Street was playing. They were excellent and had a great repertoire from the 60s to today. We have already decided to go back next time they play.

Brittney Lutz

My friend and I go to riptide for lunch 2-3 times a week and have always enjoyed the food. We went in today just before 1pm and had nobody greet us at all. At 1:30 after waiting for over half an hour with no greeting (I just assumed the hostess forgot to tell the waitress about us) we watched all of the tables behind us receive drinks and orders taken. So I politely approached the bar and let a random server know we have been waiting for 30 minutes with no greeting and we weren’t upset just hungry. I was very surprised by how unprofessional and rude her response was, we just about left from that but she wasn’t OUR server so we decided to wait for our server and ignore the rude comments. After being incredibly rude to me this server just turned around and walked away from me while I was in mid sentence. I went back to my table. A table was sat directly beside us and had been waiting about five minutes, our server walks up to the table beside us (knowing that we were there and were waiting about 40 minutes at this point) and apologizes for the wait for the table who was just sat down (5 minutes compared to 40). I was completely beside myself…. Was I being treated this way because I asked after 30 minutes for service? My friend and I just got up and left. I had my wedding reception at riptide as I’ve always really liked them. We will never be back to this location after this kind of treatment. I’m very disappointed and surprised.

Adian Lehtinen

Really good atmosphere in this restaurant, and I look forward to going there post Covid-19. The food was quite good although at least for my dish was a little salty for my liking. I will go again and hope to have a little less of a salty meal.

Greg Pelt

Great service, broccoli soup salty. Great view.

Stephen Shipman

What an awesome end to a beautiful day. After hiking for hours up to Bedwell Lake, we rewarded ourselves with a meal at a pub. Having never been there before, we did not know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by everything. Kind and helpful staff. Tasty and creative burgers. Awesome dessert. The best Sticky Toffee Pudding on the island to be exact! We will be back.

Gurv

We dropped by here for dinner tonight and it was a decent experience. They pour a good pint of Guinness, and the calamari is really good. The fish tacos are flavourless, and not good. The chicken blt wrap is meh. My friend also have the black and blue burger, which is huge but only okay. Very messy to eat. Good place to grab a drink and some appies but wouldn’t return for mains.

William Tilbury

Not bad, food used to be better. Nice atmosphere, good service. Yeah, OK.

brenda phye

Ordered take out and wasn't cheap the seafood linguini was dry not alot of seafood at all and spilled all in my bag

Joanne H

Great fries! Steak was a bit over cooked. Asked for rare.... still I would recommend this place.

Nadine Gill

Absolutely lovely, sitting looking out over the water, friendly staff, and amazing food with great friends

Christine Garland

Enjoyed drinks on their patio. Great view of the ocean. Nice breeze ???? it was 39c and we were comfortable. The service was really good ????

Sam Fjord

Food, great. Servers, great. Bartenders kinda busted

Asta

Awesome service, seriously though, tuna tetaki was horrific unless you want tuna tatki spiced like pulled pork

Shawn Taylor

Food was good but not great, no complaints at all about the service, great location on the water.

Dave Harper

Good brew and good food. Great views on the terrace.

Debbie Dunning

Friendly service, yummy wings and I really enjoyed the forno pizza.

Punk Adilly

Service is horrible. Decent food but not worth the rude service.

Kirk Laukkanen

Best pub in Campbell River. Beautiful bar. Awesome staff. DINOBONES are to die for. Enjoy!!!

natalie macdonald

Atmosphere was nice waitresses very friendly, food however was not good at all over cooked fish bater on verge of being burnt, fries were too thick for my liking ,but the desert was very very good! Will come back try something new????

aj bucky

Had the "calamari" and "Hali bites" on the recommendation of the bartender and the couple next to me....both were very good suggestions...will be back again!

Nico Vitucci

I went in thinking wow this a great place ended sitting in the scorching sun for 2 hours and after waiting my co workers had been delivered there food... i then waited 15 more minutes and my waiter then said she would pack up my food in a to go box wow. So after that i did not get my food and had to pay for my ceaser i ordered 1 and a half hours later.. at a good run restaurant i should have had my ceaser and my food on them. This was by far the worst experience i have had eating out. This place should be on Gordon Ramsays kitchen nightmares. I also watched a couple get up and leave as they waited even longer then us and got no food.

Meister Brau

Excellent service staff, great pub atmosphere and their pizzas are outstanding quality, value and taste!

David Coutu

Great setting, spacious and friendly. Excellent menu, well made dishes and reasonable pricing. Good value venue.

Leilani Collins

Food and atmosphere are fantastic.

Bill Eller

Great Sports Bar, yummy food and drink!

Jacob Sternig

Just the worst management. Was told to wait for a table. Was told that we would be waiting 10 minutes. By 40-50 minutes, it was pointless and we ended up leaving since we were still waiting for a table by that time. Might as well save your time and avoid the hassle going to this place. Still furious with the staff and how they manage things.

Tanis Hanson

Friendly service good drinks

Andrea Humphreys

A lovely restaurant, with views of the water! Food was yummy pub food! Service was excellent ????

Andrew Dunning

Food was amazing! The service was great. Had a couple of delicious pints, an appetizer and a couple of mains.

willem smit

Great place to eat. It wasn't fully booked, so we were lucky to have a table for 4. There was a lot to choose from. Ordered a green curry which was very good. A lot of veggies and prawns. The rest had burgers and fries. Good staff and the ambiance was relaxed.

Badger 777

Great food and service. Had the clam and mussels in wine sauce. Yummy. Seafood fetichinni, apparently the best Alfredo sauce ever. And the black and blue burger, again a big hit. To follow a piece of their homemade Carmel cheesecake. So good we ordered another one. Service was fantastic. The waitress was always at our table when needed and fast service. Server #8? I'm sorry I didn't get her name. Would recommend.

Darrell Mackay

It was great, good food and staff

D D

Definitely not a pub!!! Upscale restaurant calling itself a pub. Wait to be seated,lots of 5 person tables open but had to wait for a smaller one.

Darren Johnson

This restaurant is choosing to discriminate against there patrions and violate the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms.... this criminal offense can only succeed if businesses such as this one choose to do so..... shameful

Ryan Watson

Fantastic food and service. We'll be back!

Yvonne Brooks

Our server was great and our food was delicious.

Colene Hume

Present services, good atmosphere and fabulous food.

Queen Bee

Excellent customer service. Amazing food. Great prices. Perfect combination of service prices and food
