Five of us staying at the adjacent resort decided to try the "all you can eat crab" dinner on a Friday evening. We were disappointed in all aspects of the experience. In previous years, this was a great little restaurant in one of my favorite island locations, but alas, that is no longer the case. At $34 per person, our... More

We have lived in the area for years but had not been to the restuarant since the old owners. We had remember the best fish & chips and were so excited to take our kids there after a week long camping trip up north. The fish & chips we order looked like it came from a frozen highliner box in... More

I completely agree with the previous post from Cathy C. While the food was good, the service was the worst I have ever had, anywhere in the world. So much so that the entire dining room was discussing the bad service at normal volume, while the servers went in and out of the room. We were served crab without any... More

Today we drove the 25 minute drive to the Floating restaurant at the Marina. Guess what, the fish restaurant had NO fish and according to the waitress had nofish for the last 2 days. Bad, very bad... So we ordered nachos with hamburger. Well it came with fish tasting hamburger and was disgusting. On complaining to the server we were... More

If you happen to be in Campbell River on a Friday night be sure to check out the all you can eat crab dinners. The price is unbelievable and the crab even more so. Like Crab Benny's? They are sometimes on the menu too. Too die for! It's licensed. Be sure to check out ripple Rock RV Resort, which is... More

We went to this restaurant as a destination because of the ALL you can eat crab night, and we were not disappointed. We started with a regular dinner that included one whole crab, corn on the cob and rice. When you finished the first crab and wanted more, you just had to signal your server. We were a party of...

I enjoyed a lovely homecooked meal in the restaurant which is on the bay, and in the dock, and floats. The food was great, and the all you can eat crab was just the best in town. I will definitely be eating here again and the new refurbishment looks amazing!! Go Browns Bay!!

Great food and good portions. Licenced and lots of outdoor seating. Catch your limit of salmon right out front and go in for a beer and a burger.

Tasty food, large portions prepared in family style unpretentious way. A taste of West Coast BC from the locals perspective. Visited on Sunday of the long weekend and they had run out of beer after the all you can eat Saturday night crab feed! Very good if you are looking for simple food, you would be better served for fancy... More
