My wife, a friend and I were in Garibaldi. This place was open for lunch. The restaurant was fairly funky inside, albeit clean. The restaurant had a mixture of tables, booths and a long counter with backless stools. We chose a booth.
The efficient waitress immediately showed up and we ordered. We had a shrimp salad, a burger, and a clam strip basket. According to my informants, the shrimp salad was very flavorful and the burger was the best tasting they had had in years. My clam strips had excellent flavor, however, about 40% were tough and hard to bite through while 60% were tender. The basket came with the best French Fries I've had in 2023 - very crispy on the outside, hot and soft on the inside. The basket came with an acceptable tartar sauce and some creamy coleslaw. The total bill was $47 and change. Even with a 20% tip, that came out to less than 20 dollars per person, which is normal in these post covid times. Based on our experience I can totally recommend this place.
There were 8 of us and the place was fairly busy, they seated us right away, and service was quick. They all worked as a team and delivered excellent food. We had Halibut and prawns and chowder! The 2 non fish eaters had burgers that were also very good! Definitely a great stop. Best halibut around!!
Always the place we go to when in Garibaldi. Everything we've eaten was excellent. There is a long bar and table & chairs. It's not a big place. 1 small group of 8 ok.
Fish and chips are great. Fresh and delicious. We tried both halibut and cod. Perfectly cooked and perfect amount of breading. Even fries tasted good. Not greasy and not burned. Service is fast. Bathrooms are clean. Outside seating is comfortable. What else to ask for.
Best grilled salmon ever♥️ Have never been disappointed here & we’ve eaten here many times over the past 10 summers. Plenty of parking & outdoor seating available. Prompt & friendly service. Highly recommend
Great Food! Chowder and Fish & Chips was top notch. The tartar sauce was creamy and delicious. Extremely fast service. Would highly recommend sticking with the classic meals. I don't recommend any of the seafood sandwiches (Crab and Shrimp Sandwich).
Best clam chowder of my trip to the coast. Fish was excellently fried and the sauce was perfect. And the price was reasonable, too. Cute inside, not much of a view, but has counter seating or picnic tables. Great on a budget.
5 stars all across the board. This place was one of my first stops moving up here from California and eating here is definitely a core memory now. The food, the vibe and the service was great.
They were PACKED! But, I sat at the counter and they took my order in a very timely manner. I got the halibut fish and chips with a cup of clam chowder. The chowder came quickly and was decent. Not the best but good sized bits of clam and potatoes. The halibut was the star! Thick, meaty portions with a delightful breading that have just the right texture! They have a special tarter that was good but different and I'm not sure if it'd be everyone's taste. I couldn't put my finger on what they've added to the tarter to have it taste the way it does. But, it's more pale pink/orange than traditional tarter. Overall, pleasant experience. Fast and fairly friendly service although there were two servers for the whole place so they were running! Located right on the docks so lots to see!
The food was fresh! I had a salad with the tastiest ranch I’ve ever had. The shrimp and fish were super juicy, even if fried. Clean, Cozy little dinner with friendly staff and an amazing cook.
