This is a very good restaurant, casual in style, and very good service. The only problem was that the food, although it tasted very good, was not all hot. Some of the plate was hot and some was col. This was rather dissapointing. We would go back.

Went here for quick bite before grocery shopping and as a long time Parksville resident, I noticed the menu hasn't changed in 12 + years. I used to bring my adult children here for mommy and me lunches while they were in school everything is exactly the same, maybe the prices have changed.... Diners deserve a experience that evolves...

We have been here on several occasions...which speaks well on its own! We really like the breakfast here and the food is consistently excellent.We have also enjoyed dinner out here with the family. The restaurant plays with a left handed theme, presumably after the owner. The seating is good with several booths and an outdoor patio but this looks over... More

Went for Mother's day lunch with mom, sis, and daughter. As always, fresh and delicious food and excellent and fun service. Don't think you can go wrong here - nice atmosphere (considering it is in a shopping complex) and great menu.

We have had the pleasure of frequenting Lefty's since its opening many years ago. The meals offered are well prepared, fresh and certainly yummy. Soups are fantastic, main courses varied and great tasting, desserts are terrific....spoon licking good. Service is timely with the owner frequently coming over to greet customers and ensure all is going well. Specialty coffees and teas... More

We stopped in for brunch on a recent visit to Parksville. A friend from the area had recommended it and taken me there several years ago. We arrived before noon so ordered from the breakfast menu. Everything was really good, but I can't say it was outstanding. One criticism: both the pancakes and french toast come with bananas. It would... More

While on holiday with my husband, we happened upon Lefty's Restaurant for lunch. Let's just say we've returned for again for lunch AND breakfast! The French toast is amazing, but the pancakes are NOT to be missed!! You can't go wrong with anything you might order. It's all delicious. The service is friendly and they make you feel at home....

Excellent French Toast heaped with sliced bananas and plenty of syrup and butter. The bangers were tasty as well, and coffee excellent.

They incorporate local fresh food when possible, and have a great variety on the menu for everyone. There very friendly staff will work with any food sensitivities or allergies and great with kids too! Their food always tastes fresh off the "grill" and not heated in microwave or heat lamp.
