REVIEWS OF Alice's Restaurant IN Nanaimo

Greg Hunter

Best hangover breakfast in town.

T Smith

Great staff, food and prices

Mathieu Van Sannen

Staff was nice and very friendly, food was very good and served quickly. Eggs were nicely poached and delicious. The big Alice's breakfast is a good meal to start a long day on the open roads! My wife who doesn't like eggs that much was very satisfied with the vegetarian omelette with peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions. I would recommend this place to anyone who drives by or is just hungry!

need a place with good morning food this is it

Rob Penner

Very old school feel. Good value for your money. Awesome breakfast options.

Rick D

Good breakfast and a good burger. The desert was good as well but unlike the breakfast and the burger the price is a little high. Decor is dated but adds to the diner feel to the place. Since it is on the 2nd floor you do get an ocean view, not a great one but it is there. Good place to get a good meal at a fair price if you can get past the location.

Zachary Davis

7.50 for 2egg no hashbrown, +3.50 for coffe

Excellent all day breakfast

Arthur Chocholacek

We have a normal Sunday breakfast joint we love, but decided to switch it up this morning and head to Alice's, a place in the opposite direction from our usual haunts, because their menus were huge and varied. It was probably about half full when we arrived shortly before noon, and we sat down immediately, ordered, and then proceeded to wait almost 30-40 minutes for our food. Not a great start, but luckily, this is the only really negative thing I have to say. I opted for the black forest waffle, which is a waffle, with a piece of pork schnitzel on it, covered in mushroom gravy, with eggs and hashbrowns on the side. Because I'm a fat kid, I also opted to poutine up my hashbrowns (shredded) which was a modest $2.50 upcharge. The waffle was huge, basically the size of the entire plate, and the schnitzel was just slightly smaller than the waffle, and it had a substantial portion of mushroom gravy. It was all very tasty. The poutined shredded hash were also good, though I think if I was gonna do it again I'd opt for the chunky hash instead. My partner was craving a grilled cheese, so a grilled cheese she got. For a very modest price, it hit all the right notes (looked to be kraft singles rather than cheddar, but it was still great) and it had a generous helping of fries. All in all we enjoyed the experience and we'll definitely be back. They do all you can eat schnitzel on Saturdays so I might have to come back and experience that. The above with sodas (free refills) before tip came to $34.

The food wasn't great, but I still mildly enjoyed my burger. The main problem was the service. I have never met a server with less personality or willingness to chat in my entire life. I used to come here often but I'm not sure I'll be back.

Brandon Hastings

They have very delicious food waiters are very friendly aspecially the tall skin guy

Glenn Wood

The place is old, the bathrooms smell of urine and the waiter we had wasn't very personable ... BUT, the food is excellent and the omelets are huge!

Michela carriere

I ordered the benny, and the hollandaise sauce was sour, and the breakfast poutine came out with no cheese curds and luke warm gravy, sent the poutine back and they just put cold cheese curd and more luke warm gravy on it. I have never had such awful food from there before, unfortunately not food safe so I wasnt able to eat my meal. Still charged me regardless, will think twice before going there again.

Stephen Huot

excellent breakfast and view of the gulf islands

anthony bell

Rude staff and long wait for food. Not going back there :(

Staff is quite friendly & the sunrise breakfast is great! It hasn't been renovated,since coming here years ago. It looks dated and dull,however the food makes up for it.

Can be busy at peak times but wonderful staff - best breakfast in town...

Natalie Reichenbacher

We went here for the first time after seeing some good reviews. Sadly, I’m not sure how those people had that experience. We ordered dinner, and the turkey was sooo dry not even a pound of gravy could fix it. Tasteless mashed potatoes, and just overall incredibly bland. The service was okay, but the music playing was loud and annoying. And the washrooms - wow. In the time of covid, you’d like to have clean ones. In this case, no. Dirty, smelly - you just didn’t want to go there, literally.

S.G. Warren

Amanda Palmer

Andrew William Bartlett

Old timey diner with a massive menu. Food took a bit, but was good. Decent portions, reasonable price. Menu doesn't have time cut offs so you can get breakfast or dinner when you want it. I wanted to ask about the song but was afraid I'd confuse people with the dad joke. On the downside the bathroom downstairs was not usable. One was closed, and the other someone made a mess of.

Jay Eff

The food was good,but that didn't make up for the extremely rude behavior of what we found out later was an off duty staff member (Sue). We entered the restaurant and were told to sit ourselves. The tables were laid out so there was proper social distancing. However, when we tried to sit at a table, when Sue rudely snapped at us that we couldn't sit there. I asked why, and she said that we weren't 6 ft away, which we would have been 6 ft away. Just to appease her, I told her that my friend would sit at the end of the table. Sue didn't seem happy about it, but oh well. Then she repeatedly walked right by me 5 times a few times (less than 2 feet away). Sue also visited other patrons getting within a foot of them. For someone who is so worried about people getting in her personal space, she obviously has no issue getting in others. This off duty server is just another "Karen" who thinks the whole world revolves around her. I certainly won't dine here again, and I'm going to spread the word around on social media, friends and co-workers to avoid this place. None of the staff members respected any distancing policy or masks. Shame on you for letting someone like this work in this environment.

Oliver Ray

The decor isn't anything to write home about, but it's got comfy booths and tables, which is nice. You won't even notice once the food gets to your table, though! Heaping portions, excellent quality, tons of diner-style menu options, and breakfast all day! This is definitely one hole in the wall restaurant that you don't want to overlook! (And let's be real; any place that lets you 'poutine' your hash browns is an automatic win in my book.)

Best food, best prices, amazing service! Favourite restaurant by far! 12/10

Morgan Grubb

Nice food there service is great nice and clean

trevor g

Food was good. Prices were good. Standard diner fare. Seems to be mostly homemade. Server was competent, but unenthusiastic. Bathroom downstairs was unpleasant - dark and dirty.

Jay

Been going here for years always loved the food and actually enjoyed the local feel to the diner until recently when I ordered a $6.00 berry parfait. It was explained to me berries weren't in season so it would be a fruit parfait. Long story short what I received was a few canned pineapple pieces on the bottom, a little yogurt, lots of granola, little yogurt and a few chunks of apple? on top. When I was asked how everything was and said I wasn't happy with it, he literally argued with me! I would of been happier if they had used a can of fruit cocktail! Haven't been back and undecided if I will. It won't be for a $6 parfait for sure!!

This used to be one of my favorite breakfast restaurants but has sadly gone extremely downhill over the past few years. The service is slow & the waitor is rude, yes it's one of the only places that serves breakfast after 2pm but if you over cook my eggs just make new ones! Definitely dont order off the lunch menu its not worth it & NEVER go to the bathroom here it NOT WORTH IT.

This place never fails to deliver an amazing meal !! While I have never been to the actual restaurant every type of food I have ever ordered from them is simply perfection.

The WORST experience EVER!!!!!! Took over an hour to get our breakfast served. When we finally got it served it was cold!!!! Sent it back, and it was still not hot!! Took 25 mins to get a refill of coffee!!! Requested 3 times to get a refill of OJ!!!! Over 45 mins for a hotdog!!! Our service last time was bad, but we were hoping that this time would be better. HARDLY!! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!!!!! STEVE.. FIRE THEM ALL except the tall drink of water with glasses, he at least TRIED!!

david levine

Food was fantastic! Large portions. Server was polite. Prices were good value. However restaurant itself was dated and probably not updated or refreshed in what looks like 30 years... You would get 5 stars if u cleaned interior of restaurant and updated decor. There was dust on things and carpet looked threadbare and dirty. Could be great little spot with a ambience update.

Karyn-grace Jacoba

Food was ok, service was slow. An hour to get food for a table of 4 and only ones seated

Nina Zurita

Great view of the sunrise and good sized breakfast for $10 including tea/coffee during the week. Can't comment on any other meals as breakfast was all I went here for.

Mizz Wolfe

The coffee is a bit expensive but the food is really good and it's clean place I like to meet my friends there so it's all right I love it it's a hangout.

Ciara Moynihan

That guys works hard and has great service

Leanne DeGruchy

What a great restauant experience. Great food here is a guarenter as the restaurant is a city staple from way back. Family Restaurant open on Xmas Day all day. They have a vast menu of options. The inside is dated but fitting also for where its located in the south end of City. Definitely a good place to go and get a good meal.

Actually a 4 1/2. The food and view are wonderful. The ambience is 'Island' friendly and somewhat quaint. If you're looking for fancy or expensive, this is NOT the place for you!????

Uninspired presentation of standard bacon and eggs and the special didn't include coffee. Nice water view and reliable Internet, but server seemed uncomfortable with my extended stay to work, even though there was never more than about 6 tables at a time in a very large restaurant.

Sharon Pollock

Best breakfast in Nanaimo

Damian Morley

Small breakfast and not much on the plate and the restaurant smells bad Men's washroom forget it worst than any truck stop .....

tori richards

Food was just OK.I Had a New York steak that was way over cooked.my Husband had the Salisbury steak.and it was just all in pieces.falling apart.The washrooms were really AWFULL!! The stench from that bathroom was enough to make you lose your appetite.I think it was some kind of deodorizer. Sad to say i won't be returning to alice"s anytime soon.I used to love this place years ago.it was always packed with people.The last few times ive gone its been totaly empty.The food used to be awsome! SO Sad????

Barry Rellin

Basic diner fare, with great service. Have the blueberry pancakes!

Candy Beggs

I had made a reservation a month in advance for my family reunion. I specifically told the employee that there would be two people wanting to try the Alice's challenge. When we went they said they had no buns for the Alice's burger or the Mountain burger and could not make the burgers. It was very disappointing. The waitress just apologized and there was no compensation given. We would not even have gone to Ms Riches if we had know there was no Alice's challenge. We ate there anyway and the food wasn't very flavorful. My mother had a draft beer and had stomach issues the next day. All in all it was a very disappointing experience. I will never go back again.

I agree with Ken C. I have only been to alices 4 times in my life. In 2002 they tried to get me to pay over one thousand dollars for a soup and sandwitch! When on the menu the soup and sandwitch was under 20 dollars. I got a grilled cheese and cup of soup to be exact

Emmerson Konjolka

Delicious food and a large menu

Carolyn Emo

Yummy food, I had the BBQ chicken sandwich and my date had the chicken Alfredo, both good meals. While we waited for food we played this fun mind teaser game that was on the table for us. Made time fly by.Fast friendly service, would recommend.

aimee chalifoux

The server was really nice and the food was amazing.

Mike Strenja

What a delicious surprise. From the outside you dont think Alice's would be good. It is very understated. Even the interior is understated and reminds you of a typical low class diner. The food blew me out of the water! It was so good. We went two days in a row and I got the egg benny in a bowl. It was delicious and very consistent. We are making this our new breakfast spot.

Holly Foster

Long wait but totally worth it! Would breakfast again :)

kyle Coates

Friendly staff, but I personally found the menu a bit lacking in inexpensive options to be able to afford a snack with coffee.

Fernando Falcao

Two and a half because my omelette was coldish warm and I wanted white onions in my pan potatoes but I got green onions on top

Chris Ferrier

Great service

Jody Hughes

Amazing food and huge portions!

Francielle da Silva

I didnt get the memo that all HOT vegetables are now to be served cold as hell! On top of that, the oysters tasted like a 2 year olds vomit. The service was subpar. The only decent thing was the fish. The salad was alright, but for the HUGE amount of greens, there was barely any dressing. All of it needs more seasoning.

Not hugely hungry having eaten on the ferry we decided to share the very affordably priced breakfast special ($8.50 plus tax)...eggs perfectly cooked, sausages well done and the best toast I have tasted in a long time. Service quick and efficient. I highly recommended.

Riley Fowler

Monique Duhamel

The food on Halloween Day was phenomenal! I saw a young ponytailed woman in the kitchen, slaying. I had the salmon benny breakfast bowl that was fantastic! Huge portion, and it cooked to perfection even though it was takeout. My husband had Alice's Big Breakfast because he's the world's hungriest Boilermaker and was beyond happy to get some decent food after having worked 16 days straight. We recommend Alice's for sure and I now have cravings for your Salmon Benny Bowl. See you soon!

I hoped to support a home grown local business. Hostess paid no attention to us, front of house didn't seem to care. Hostess wouldn't respond after we left with a friendly "good bye" I hope this was an off day and hope they return back to normal.

Good food, Good price, worth driving from the north side of town.

Paul Laurence

Tucked outta the way, those who didn't know better might just drive on past. The food here is typical diner fare, large portions at a reasonable price. Only draw back is if you have mobility issues, the stairs can be a killer.

Niloufar Mahmoudi

I was here with family and my boyfriends food was cold. I also ordered a chicken quesadilla and recieved a veggie one (basically filled with tomatoes and cheese). I ate it anyways because I always give the benefit of the doubt, but I definitely let our waiter know when we were done because I wanted to see what was on the reciept. U thought I made the mistake but I didn't. The cook argued and said he definitely made a chicken one but it was minced and I couldnt see it. When I said again no, there was no chicken in it, he continued to say there was! I couldn't believe it ! There was 100% no chicken in it . Luckily the owner or whoever he was stuck up for us but a cook shouldnt argue with customers. Anyways... my first time there was not a good experience.

Ken C

The basic egg bacon ham sausage toast breakfast was a bit underwhelming and over priced. A tad greasy- but some like it this way. The service might normally be better than what I experienced. The coffee was the highlight. If I went again I would order lunch.

Tyler Seltenrich

Great place.. has the 70's early 80's diner vibe (the real one not the trendy). Great food, healthy portion an a good price

Breadboy97

Angelique Sloman

Will not be going back again or recommending anyone go here. I ordered a shrimp ceasar salad which was disgusting so I didn't eat it. When I asked the waiter with glasses at the end of the meal if they could take it off the bill because I wasn't satisfied and it wasn't eaten he got attitude and started to chastise me for not saying something sooner. He was very rude and refused to comp the meal even when we explained what was wrong. Will not be going back. $15 is steep for a pathetic amount of lettuce, gross ceaser dressing, processed shaker cheese and microwaved flavourless baby shrimp.

moss Sampson

Good comfort food

Tyson Gilroy

Rhonda Stewart

You know those places that have a hundred things on their menu, and you know they're mostly probably frozen until ordered at which point they're either deep fried or microwaved? It's that. We were the only table in the restaurant and somehow the service was still sluggish. I had the seafood platter and the oysters tasted almost sour. I've had far better meals from Joey's Only Seafood. Look at my other reviews, I'm not that person that rates things badly often. This place was really that bad.

Great, inexpensive breakfasts. Hash browns can be hit or miss. Still, no complaints, service is friendly and there's a nice view of the water. This is uncomplicated diner-style fare; no frills, large quantities, served hot.

Nicholas BUCHANAN

Mediocre at best

Miles Kehoe

Pretty average, sure could use a good freshen up overall.

Kartik Kurup

July 10/2020 update: Again tried their smores waffle. This time did a take out. I have to say, the food was hot inside the container and the warmth just made the marshmallows and chocolate even more soft and melted by the time I ate it!! Holy jeez it was like eating a piece of decadent cake!! This place is a hidden gem for this item! Would absolutely go there again for the smores waffle!! The decor could be updated, but the food was worth it! Older review (July 2019): I tried their smores waffle and it is absolutely delicious! Decent coffee. Would try other places as well when visiting Nanaimo again.

I have been dining at this restaurant for over 30 years and have had many different experiences, some good and some bad. Lately I have eaten lunch here during the pandemic being its close to my residence. I have to say the food quality is better than its ever been. They had a BBQ bacon cheddar burger special a few weeks ago and it had to be the best burger I have ever eaten out at any restaurant period. There is a show on TV my father watches called Diner & Dives... or something along that nature. This special was worthy of being on that show in my opinion. The new owner should be proud of his accomplishments being this restaurant has been a classic place for many people over the years, and some people had a hard time with the management/ownership change. I think he is doing a great job in such an economically difficult time!

Has gone way down hill in recent years with the new owner. All the good staff has left and the service is terrible. Was waited on by the owner himself and had to ask for a glass of water 5 times over 20 minutes as he kept walking by.

Food was fresh and fast. The server was polite and accomodating. We loved the quiet atmosphere. We were there very early on Mother's Day. Good homestyle food

Alice's Restaurant in Nanaimo South is another average family restaurant. I tried the breaded veal cutlet. I wasn't really impressed with it. The others ordered breakfasts, which turned out to be a pretty good choice. Their burgers looked decent.

Alice's has always been a great place to go eat and relax. Alice's has been around for a lot of years. I am 68 and I remember my mom saying she use to go to Alice's. A place which has been around for this many years has got to be good and the food speaks for itself. The staff care always friendly.

Alice's is back peeps! New owners, we took a chance, it was freaking delish! Just like when I was a kid!

Good food

Good food fair prices. Can get very busy at times.

Becca Brown

This place used to be a miserable choice for a meal, but now it's one of the best choices for breakfast dining I've been to. The pancakes are huge. Like, plate-sized and fluffy. Eggs, hashbrowns, it's all good. I'd rate the lunch menu, but I'm still working my way through the breakfast one. However, my husband speaks well of their burgers.

Dirty and gross! There was a hair in my food :( The place needs a reno for sure, and maybe then I'd try it again.

Benny bowl was AMAZING!

Wendy Graham

Best food ever. We loved it. Definitely coming back.

So, two diverging experiences eating here. Firstly, the food is absolutely delicious, large portions and reasonably priced. On the other hand, the facility had a worn feeling about it. Will totally frequent again, and a curriously nostalgic experience.

Great menu, generous portions, great prices, and they even have a Christmas day menu. Really good family restaurant.

Dave Bodaly

Jeremy Koebel

Blue berry pancakes

Jodi Severinski

Paul DesLauriers

Very okay. Restaurant is very dated, service was decent, food was decent (breakfast) but slightly over priced. Decent place to stop in for some food on the way from the ferry, wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

Matt Evans

food was awesome, waited about 30 mins for food at noon on a Saturday but wouldn't hesitate to return

Jim Scott aka Dick Brook

My wife loves to have the fish and chips here at Alice's. I have to thank my mom and dad for bringing me here a few years ago. ;-}

Stefan “Stay” Fulton

Food is good, owner and chef are great guys to talk to, prices are a little bit up there but overall it is worth it!

Jim Sadlemyer

Food amazing. Ambiance misleading.

Sarah Nichole

Great food, reasonably priced and friendly staff.

Leanna Moss

Always have great experience here . Cozy little place with self seating, polite staff and a very welcoming owner , always takes the extra second to have a little chat with you or say a quick hello well you enjoy your visit .... last week I was there I had the best yam fries in years ! Truly recommend this place .

Richard Tessier

Great cheap breakfasts

Cyndi Touchie

Super friendly. Great food. And not too expensive.

Julie MacTíre (redshasta)

Had lunch here the other day. Friendly service, food was hot and fresh. My husband had a huge breakfast, I had the deluxe Salisbury steak with onions, mushrooms, and bacon. Very tasty, definitely recommend it!

Robb “WILL-I-AM” WAIT

Alices has been the "family usual diner" My family has been going to this restaurant for as long as I can remember and once knew the owners before the new ones bought it. Although the quality has declined at Alice's (Sorry Chef) it will always be one of my favourite go-to restaurants if I want my classic or a nostalgia trip.

Hannah Beads

This place has serious issues with their cleanliness. No employees wearing face mask or hair net (including kitchen crew) and while every other table is blocked off for distancing, they're not properly sanitizing between uses. They have not increased cleaning procedures in response to COVID-19. They are doing the bare minimum that should be done outside of a pandemic. Definitely a risk dining here.

Ryan Harrison

daniel fel

Very poor customer service. I waited there for exact 60 mins but they did not serve my food. when I asked why he said I can leave the place or it will take 20 more minutes. I know it gets busy sometimes but they should be respectful of everyone and apologize for their poor service but they did not. Never going there again.

A Nanaimo classic! Blueberry pancakes or strawberry waffels.....

maggie mountain

Isabel Atherton

Food is great and delicious, the serving not great it's slow and they don't visit your table much and the bathrooms??!? Don't get me started, it was dirty sinks were broken the smell was horrible and there were bugs everywhere and bugs dead on the counters and sticky floor and instead of cleaning they tried masked the fact they don't clean with air fresheners. I'm not sure if the bathroom is owned by them or the hotel but either way it's bad.

Charles Nelson

Richard Fortin

Absolutely incredible waitstaff who multitask in calming style. I had the blueberry waffle and loved it! There is a dinghy smell of antiquity but I guess that's the only -ve of being in business for a longtime and for good reasons, I am sure!

This is definitely a place I'll be returning to ???? the food is delicious and the portions are very generous. The fellow with the glasses is a great waiter, very friendly and lets you enjoy your meal in peace, but there if you need him! The decor is dated, but in a charming way. Eating here is a pleasant experience that I would definitely recommend!

KRISTIN TYRELL ENNS

When I was little my Nana and Grandpa used to take me here every week for brekky and dinner. My most beloved place to eat and we lived just a couple of alley ways away. When my Grandpa passed away my Nana and/or Dad took me instead. I ended up moving out of the province in 2003 after my Nana passed away. In 2017 my Dad passed away and when I came back to attend his funeral I asked my Husband to take me here.. So I could sit and reminisce about the good old days with my Dad, Nana and Grandpa. The food was still as delicious as I remembered. The service was wonderful as always. Thank you for allowing me to a keep a positive memory ????

Great food but not super clean for COVID purposes... First restaurant I have been in since COVID that have salt and pepper shakers, ketchup and all condiments in the table. No wiping of anything anywhere .. quite dirty ..

A Nanaimo favourite for decades. Really good food. Lots of options for everyone on the menu. I wish it wasnt so far south. It is out of the way if you live central or north. Location is not good. Make sure you lock cars. Friendly atmosphere and experienced staff.

Simple, but excellent food! The decor is dated but you don't go to Alice's for ambience. This is our favourite place for breakfast!

Vance Perry

Decent family food at fair prices, open early.

Caitlin Karlowsky

I was in Nanaimo visiting family & I made Alice's my morning routine for breakfast. I have eaten at hundreds of diners & I have to say Alice's is one of the best. Great food & excellent & fast service. Much better than any chain restaurant.

Absolutely delicious takeout food! We were in town for a night and got takeout for supper - it was so tasty we came back the next morning for breakfast! One of the better restaurant burgers I’ve had in quite some time, and the breakfast food was great as well.

Mike Stranix

Always been very good food but just heard they won't stand up to the tyranny of our government. Will NEVER go back!!!!! Lost a long time customer cause they won't grow a set

Trey Robertson

James Morrison

Great breakfast. Best hashbrowns ever!!!

Theresa S

Food was good. They did good for service being short staffed. First time being there in years. Server we had wasn't to friendly but the one who went in due to waitress being off was very nice. His son was there also was so cute watching him trying to help his dad.

James T

As someone who has been eating here for about 25 years I can say that the food is good, unfortunately the business has suffered over the years and the restaurant is in desperate need of an update.

ken slawson

Great breakfast ????

I Can't Stop Thinking About Tony

If I could give -5 stars I would haven’t been here in years and decided to go there walked in and could not stand the smell in there so NASTY IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!I do not know how this place is not shut down this is the dirtiest most disgusting restaurant I’ve ever been to in my entire life, we did sit down for two seconds and before the waiter even came over we got up and left! The health department needs to shut this place down not suitable for sitting in because I believe there’s serious mould in there, and absolutely not suitable for serving food ewwwww! Let’s put it this way McDonald’s is probably about 400 times cleaner than that place!

Scott Kennedy

This restaurant always has awesome breakfasts. Their pancakes are huge, and sooo good! (Especially the blueberry ones). Their lunches are good as well. They are quick to get the food to you, and its usually hot. I drive across town just to come to this restaurant, that says something. This place has been here for as long as I can remember.

Great little cozy diner spot. Well known for it's breakfast menu, but has a lot of variety and a big menu. One of the owners name is Paul, super friendly guy and always provides great service and banter. Love their veggie omelette, poutine, and quesadillas. All super delicious. Only criticism I got for this place is it's parking, needs some work to make it more leveled. I definitely recommend this restaurant though : )

I’m torn about this place, the food and value are fantastic! But the service a facility needs work, very slow service, the dining room and bathrooms haven’t been upgraded in 50 years! The bathrooms smell like sewage, and only 1 tap works, I’ve used better outhouses

Another great breakfast. This place doesn't look fancy, but the decor is well maintained and very clean. Food is served fast, hot, accurate. Waiter was attentive and right amount of good attention and service. This place is also consistent in food and experience. A hidden gem in Nanaimo with a regular diner menu. 20 year patron.

Christopher Herby

the best burger 100% chuck on brioche bun and breakfast all day till 8pm. all kinds of "diner food" and "comfort food", "full service", hand breaded veal cutlets and pork schitzel, appetizers, excellent deep fried foods, outstanding specialty pancakes and special house made desserts, kids menu.

I went to Nanaimo for a work trip and stopped in here every morning for the duration of my trip. The food and staff were excellent. The pancakes were some of the best I've ever had. Grear place, I wil miss it!

Victoria Gal

Great small town diner feel, quite good food, and wonderful service. Horrible, horrible management. The "owner" George was rude to all his staff, treating them as toddlers and acting as if they were completely incompetent at their jobs, loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear, right in the middle of the floor. Splitting a large table's order at the till during busy hours is stressful as it already is, and it sure doesn't help if the owner stands next to the cash berating his employees. When I confronted him about his behaviour he brushed me off saying "Okay guy, thanks, okay bye." I have never been so disgusted with management.

First budgie

I have been here 5 times. I ordered something different everytime and was amazed at how one restaurant can have so many incredibly well prepared meals. Most places have two or three of a certain kind of food. Thus one has everything from fish and chips to liver and onions to omelets and all are expertly prepared. I swore I would be back if I could. I've been here five times so far. I plan to return.

Andrew Penny

Good Food and Portions

Ashley Mah

Excellent food and service. Speedy and good prices

Adam McGuire

Well, the food was good and reasonably priced. The blueberry pancakes were chock full of blueberries, and tasty even without syrup. Coffee was decent, service was adequate. However, the whole place was kind of stinky, and the smell turned me off a bit. It might have been the old carpet, but whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant. The place is connected to a cheap hotel, and it doesn't look like much from the outside.

michelle aldridge

Riah

New to the area so I thought I'd give it a try due to all the positive reviews. I'm not sure if it's new management or staff but the food wasn't anything special. I got the chicken fettuccini and it was so bland I couldn't taste anything! My SO got the eggs Benny , and was disappointed. The hollandaise sauce had seperated before it even arrived ( believe it was packaged). Staff was attentive and kind so no issue with that , just wish the food had more flavour and love in it.

Tina Carin

It is not the nicest place, but the food and service are amazing! I always go there for breakfast, it is very reasonably priced, I would say on the cheaper side considering what you get! The service is good and welcoming. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as drinks. They have free coffee refills which is really nice! Lots of parking space, and no wait time, at least not that I have experienced. Good family place.

Never had worst service I have had yet there. I understand being busy but there was maybe 4 other tables. We ordered an appetizer of wings and got them cold. Waited over half an hour for the server to come back and looked our food 4 times. Finally we ended up walking out with our even getting our meal orders taken. We said hey to get the severs attention. He heard us looked and walked away.

Melanie Shigeoka

The breakfast was good, but the prices have increased so much that I'll probably just go to another restaurant for breakfast now. I miss the cheap prices :( That's one reason why I loved coming here for breakfast.

Chris Davidson

Dont judge a book by its cover! Great portion size! I had the bacon cheese burger with fries and gravy. The veggies on the burger were so fresh and yummy, the bun was toasted, the onion on the bottom of the burger was perfect, the fries were cooked perfectly, crisp, golden. It all tasted very clean and healthy (if you can say that about a bacon cheese burger lol), i left feeling satisfyingly full. I will definitely be telling friends and family about this hidden gem and will absolutely be back to try everything else on the never ending menu.

graham mcgee

Awesome place with a great view and comfy seating. The staff are very pleasant.

Dawn Skopnik

Food was fresh and fast. The server was polite and accomodating.

Troy

Ordered veal cutler dinner that was pretty gnarly. The “meat” was gritty and smelled like canned dog food. Also got a chicken wrap that was basically a mayo wrap. Who ever made that wrap ain’t going no where in life... Small portions and expensive. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Josh

Jessica Hall

Dingy, grimy hole of a situation here. I'm almost sure I caught my first dose ever of food borne illness at this location. Staff aren't necessarily polite,depending how they decide where you've come from. Not to mention the ultra rude cross dressed man who is a cook(simply specified to help for identification of the individual). Just not my kind of place. Had they even been kind...

Sabrina Barrette

Pretty good

Jon Athey

Great food

Ahmad Bahay

Honestly I was shocked by how hearty and tasty all the food was. I got breakfast and it was served with perfectly crispy hash browns, fluffy eggs and excellent meats. To be honest I've been dissapointed with Nanaimo restaurants. They've been overwhelmingly bland and expensive. This place is awesome. I highly recommend it. Owners is awesome also, he was saying a lot of the negative reviews are for an Alice's in the states, so don't pay attention to them, this place is a real gem!
