We invite our guests to sit back and enjoy the views of the Discovery Passage while sipping on local craft beers from 1 of our 20 rotating taps. Our menu leads with locally sourced product when available and offers a variety of house-made favourites including steaks, seafood, burgers with house-cut fries, hand made pizzas, Greek favourites or health conscious options including popular salad bowls. Pull up a seat on our beautiful extended patio, grab a flight of beer in our Tap house or enjoy an intimate dining experience in our Acropolis Dining Room. Come & enjoy the real Campbell River with us.
I have come here multiple times, with the most recent time being for my staff Christmas party. There's a reason I keep coming back here. In my humble opinion, it is one of the best restaurants in Campbell River. The owner/Chef Peter is such a great guy, and the menu is delicious. It is a Greek restaurant, with many other options for those who don't live Greek food, but their Kalamari is to DIE for. Literally the best I've ever tasted in my life, and I'm a huge kalamari fan. The service is awesome, with fun and personable servers. Everything I've ever ordered there has been delicious! Will keep going back for sure.
A very comfortable hopping place on a Friday night. Met up with friends for a delicious dinner. The Greek influence is found throughout the menu with room for other continental dishes. Everything was spot-on aside from the snippy hostess. Your comment was heard. 😉
Really enjoyed the food. Had appetizers and lamb shanks. Very extensive menu with a great wine list. Prices very reasonable.The customer service was excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming. Seemed to enjoy being there. Next time we visit think we would like to be in bar area. Will definitely be back.
Great place to stop for a drink. When we didn't know how the cider would taste like, we got samples before getting to choose the one we wanted. The Yam fries are great !
These are photos from 3 separate dining experiences. I do recommend a reservation. However, the wait isn't very long. Food and drink are excellent here. The seafood pasta is a bit bland, it needs more garlic and the sauce splits, I tried it twice, and unfortunately, it was lacking flavor. children under 19 are not allowed without adults at the table. An 18 year old at the time and his girlfriend were not allowed to dine at the table next to us. They had to be accompanied by an adult. The party of 10 had to split up and leave the booth so an adult was with them. The owner, Peter, got embarrassingly loud and argumentative with one of the guests when asked about the policy. The view is fantastic, ocean view & outside patio dining. It can be a bit loud, There is also a separate quiet dining room on the other side of the bar/ restaurant. There is no view in that dining room, but it has a more formal romantic dining experience. Hands down, best Pina colada I've had in Campbell River. On the second visit, I had a reservation for a booth, I was in crutches and explained on the phone I needed a booth to put my leg up. They said they would accommodate me. However, when I arrived, the reservation was confirmed, but I was seated at a table for 2 with my guest and nowhere to put my crutches. When I explained I reserved a booth, the waitress told me they were about to get busy, and turnover is better when more than 2 people are in a booth... I stood my ground and was eventually moved from the table for 2. 2 out of 3 dining experiences had awkward/ uncomfortable interactions with staff, and the 3rd time in the back dining room was extremely pleasant. I like to do reviews for local restaurants after 3 dining experiences because of the rotation of cooks and staff to see if the experience and food are positive or negative in consistency. The garlic shrimp and the shrimp cup( forgot the name) were my favorite. Overall, the appetizers and drinks are why I'd return.
Last minute lunch stop; was extremely happy! Loved the patio. They were out of beef burgers but the chicken burger was juicy and very delicious and satisfying. Will be coming back and introducing other friends.
Fantastic grill and tap house! The food was delicious on every level, everything we had was top notch, the service was perfect and so accommodating, and they have a huge selection of beer and drinks, definitely worth stopping in!
This restaurant is really good. Drinks are very well prepped, food is stunning, owner seems to be very nice, employees seem to take pride here, everything adds up as a really good place to be. Everyone goes the extra mile to impress, and I love to see the extra effort. No one seems to be overly rushed or in a hurry, but everything moves at a reasonable pace (I like that). Personally I ordered a Fettuccine Alfredo, and I added grilled chicken breast on it. Not only did the Alfredo taste good, but the chicken breast wasn’t dry and overcooked. Everything was absolutely perfect, and I could not ask for more. Drinks were astonishing. They use premium ingredients, and you can definitely taste a difference. My old fashioned was very well balanced, no shortcuts taken. Presentation for everything is out of this world. Everything that went by us looks unique and delicious. If we had the budget we would have tried everything. It all looks and smells good, and at the price I see value in this place. This is one of the very few restaurants I’d actually come back to. This isn’t your regular grill and tap, this is what people expect to have when they want perfection. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Excellent service and food. Highly recommend
So amazing! My favorite place in town
Fantastic food and amazing staff,enjoy your supper ,I did
Best pulled pork poutine ever!!!
Our server, Niki was fantastic. She made our experience very enjoyable. Our meal was good too, but it wouldnt have been the same dinning experience if it hadnt been for Niki.
Had a wonderful dinner here. Everything was great. The chef even came out to chat with us.
Really nice place, great service and food/drinks. Games were great.
Amazing lamb great customer service
Mind blown. We came in for drinks and an apps. The service and food is amazing. We ordered calamari and martini s. The martinis were amazing. Then the food came out. Omg. The tanziki sauce is whipped and fresh cucumbers. The calamari is so fresh and battered to perfection. The service is above and beyond.
We had a great experience when we visited these restaurant on October 2nd. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the view was fantastic and the seating was comfortable. Additionally, the server was friendly and efficient and the food was amazing. We will definitely return next time we visit the island!
Good food, great service and Peter is a gem. Loved the pizza.
Excellent!
excellent service with a view to go with it! Food was delicious.
All of our food orders were brought out fast and the service was excellent especially because of how busy this place is but the food was a disappointment. All of our meals were just ok. Great location just across the street from the ocean.
The service was great, and so was the atmosphere. However, the food was not good at all. One person in our group got a BBQ sandwich, which tasted like it was out of a can. Also, one person in our group got some seafood chowder, which was not very good either. I got a Greek salad that did not come with lettuce
Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Though clean and well presented, food needs improvement. BBQ sandwich is canned meat on a bun. Greek salad is little more than a bowl of sliced cucumbers. No brewed tea.
Another good Campbell River place for lunch/dinner - wide dining selection, good quality, accompanied by a strong beer/wine/cocktail list. Fun atmosphere, including outside dining area, views of the sea, and right at the 50° north latitude marker. Among our partys dishes were a prawn & scallop special, a short rib special and a salmon dish, and all were pleased. Just passing thru, or staying in the area, Fifty Parallel is worth a visit.
Was enjoying tie at birthday celebration at what was supposed to be table for 15. Got placed at two separate tables, table of 9 and one of 6. Was okay food. Service okay, nothing to brag about. Manager very surprisingly inappropriately came to speak to birthday lady about charging her $3 per person because she brought her own cake in. 45 dollars to cut cake. He also advised at the end of meal each party will be billed 18% gratuity fee. If more than 8 people mandatory gratuity. This is legal, but we were not at a table of 15. He legally could only charge the parties at the table of 9. If hes going to enforce BC ACT than should follow law to a T. Wont be going back. His attitude 0 out of 10. Parking: Expect to have trouble fitting in during diner hours
I was visiting from Ontario. My daughter arranged dinner reservations to celebrate her husbands birthday. We were seated in the same area as the bar. The constant slamming of the fridge door at the bar, was very irritating. The waitress was very pleasant. I ordered Seafood Fettucine. As per the menu, it was to include prawns, shrimp and whitefish with the Fettucine, cheese on top and baked. When we received our order, the server, not our waitress, said, here is your mac&cheese. It clearly was Fettucine Alfredo, so I thought it was an honest mistake. My dish had no cheese on top, nor was it baked. As I began to eat it, it was clear there were no prawns, shrimp or whitefish in the dish. We notified the waitress. She apologized profusely and stated we would not be charged for this dish. She returned a few minutes later, and said the owner would bring over a new order. Well, the owner came to our table about 5 minutes later with a dish with 4 large shrimp and white fish and put it on the original Fettucine. He boasted that he was giving me an extra shrimp. I was upset that the shrimp and fish were placed on top of the cooling Fettucine. I was not impressed. However, I chose not to say anything as I did not want to dampen the birthday celebration. My daughter arranged for a dessert with a birthday candle for her husband. A young server presented the dessert minus the candle. She did add the candle, but it was another disappointment. But it got worse. When she received the bill, they had charged her for my meal. When she approached the staff, the owner told her that they would not have offered not to charge for this dish. She stated what the waitress had to hold her and conveniently she had left for the day. They did not charge her for the dessert. As we were leaving, the owner approached us and was very confrontational and rude. He stated it was a misunderstanding on our part. We told him, that all of us, heard the waitress, say we would not be charged for the meal. He persisted. We chose to just leave. As an owner of an establishment, he should take some customer service classes. Will NEVER frequent this place again!!!!!
My husband and I were just visit Campbell River for the day and thought this place sounded good. The food was absolutely amazing!! I had fish and chips and both were so crispy and fresh. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich which he loved. And our order came so fast! So glad we stopped in for lunch
Awesome Gluten Free options, the Poke bowl was the best Ive ever had. Great food, great service, better view.
Loved this place, great atmosphere and Peter the owner is exceptional. Highly recommend.
The lamb shank was unbelievable, good selection of appies and beer.
My family and I just celebrated my 60th birthday party here tonight and everything was top notch! We had the friendliest waitress in Campbell River looking after us, and the mains and deserts were all really great. My wife really loved the Yorkshire pudding special entree. Surprisingly busy for a Monday night! Highly recommended for sure
Everything was fabulous! The fruit dessert was simply amazing. Food
The Service was wonderful even though it was a busy Friday night. The greek salad was so fresh! The chicken soulvaki was perfect. the whole dish was the best greek food that I have had in a long time. My spouse had the pizza and a cesear salad and he was very pleased. Highly recommend
A lovely restaurant with a good menu and very friendly and attentive staff. We shared the garlic prawns for starters, which were superb. To follow, I had the slow roast lamb and my wife had the fish and chips. Both were excellent. We finished with chocolate lava cake and the NY cheesecake, again both were excellent. We d highly recommend this restaurant and will return when we re next in Campbell river.
Great place for local beers. Had a selection of Vancouver islands best, including great dark beers and a couple of lovely sours. Excellent service and decent food. Food
The best food far and wide... there were 8 of us here today and EVERYONE had a very, very tasty meal. Absolutely recommended.
Food very nice. Service wonderful, friendly, and attentive.
We decided to try this place for the first time for our Anniversary after hearing people speaking so highly of it. Although our meal was nice, we both found it a bit on the bland side. The portions were generous and we both left with full tummies, but again rather bland and lacking that certain oomph you expect of a meal of this caliber. The one shining spot in our evening was our server, Nicki. She was absolutely amazing, always checking on us, ensuring we had everything we needed and all with a big smile on her face. An absolute delight from beginning to end! Thank you Nicki, you are a real gem!
Some guy named Peter Came buy table Wonderful personality Excellent meal Todd McCauley Norman Wells NWT
Delicious eats and our server Kim was fabulous!
Mouth watering Greek share platters, the best burgers and poutine in town, attentive customer service in one of the best atmospheres in CR. I love this place!
Such a nice surprise to find this lovely pub. We stopped in by chance and were pleasantly surprised. I have to say they have the best onion rings on the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the staff was really nice! If you ever get to Campbell River stop in to this lovely place!
I went with several friends. We had a lovely time. What a great patio. Lots of food choices and super friendly and helpful service. I will go back for sure!
Took my in-laws there with their grandkids. Server was funny and fast. Meals came out together. Father in law devoured the fish and chips. The kids devoured the pizza. Everyone devoured the kalamari! It s the best kalamari I ve had since leaving Greece. Seeing the chef come table to table is so rare it surprised me. 10/10 we ll be back
Best. Steak. Ever. Excellent service!
Excellent. Well return soon. Vegetarian options: Some good veggie options, but as always... I wish there were more. Food : 5/5 |
Drinks were good Salmon was a little dry, spaghetti sauce seemed to be sweetened with molasses, pizza seemed like it was from the freezer vibes were cool though!
Best ribeye Ive had, two years in a row. For as long as this place keeps serving em up, I will be back every year. The head chef delivered my meal both times Ive visited, and was tempted to take a bite himself. It doesnt get any better than this! Also, my mom had the seafood chowder and said it was the best shes ever had. Double win!
Really great food and nice outside seating. The service was spot on. Its worth 5 stars.
Nice little spot on the coast to grab a meal and a beer. Staff were friendly and chatty. Food was food and lots of beers to choose from.
We had dinner here one night. Everything was really Delicious and the service was good. I did find their alcohol a little bit expensive. The one mojito they had on special was almost a $20 double.
The food is awesome. The menu has a lot to choose from. The staff is very friendly
Delicious Buddha bowl with falafels. Also Maui shrimp, and the ribs with bbq sauce.
Good manor, delicious food, nice smile, clean bathroom, nice to children, and amazing, there is Shiraz barrel! There are parking lots there. Food
Every appetizer was from frozen bag , main dishvme 10year old kid cud make ...do better
This place was recommended by our hosts, more than 2 hours away from Campbell River in Tahsis. Their recommendation was on point. Servers were friendly, helpful and engaging. We had the prime rib dip which was outstanding and the Greek salad with chicken which was also delicious. Their clam chowder is to die for. I highly recommend this place.
The service here is impressive. Despite a full house and no reservations, we got a place here within a very short time. The owner is extremely friendly and ensures that everything is fine with every guest. We ate pizza and pasta here. It was very tasty! Can only be recommended!
We sat as a large group with a reservation on a busy Saturday night and everybody was super professional, cheerful, and helpful. Even the owner greeted the table! Everybody loved their food (my lamb souvlaki was very good).
Came with my family , I and my daughter in law had the beef dip, my son the black and blue burger, my daughter fish and chips. Absolutely amazing! The service was excellent, the food everything. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Outstanding view, great service and fantastic fish. Definitely would go back.
Hands down my favourite place to eat in Campbell River. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. And the food? Omg, its to die for.
5 stars across the board!! The staff work like a well oiled machine and during a full house didnt miss a beat! And stayed happy and warmly greeted everyone. Not just front end staff will check on you. We had kitchen staff as well greet and make sure we were doing good. Food was excellent, drinks were delicious. Highly recommend stopping here!
Amazing meal with an Oceanside view!
Great food
Delicious food with a view of the sea. Burgers, pasta, pizza, steak... It was important to me that many dishes were also gluten-free. Gf Burger buns wasnt a problem, lots of starters gf, steak anyway, there was gf penne, pizzas werent gf. But there was plenty of choice. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
The noise level is a little bit loud. Good food and great service.
The sever and the chef were great. The steak was epic. One of the best places for service i had in a long time.
I travel all of western Canada for work and this was some of the best pub style food I have had. The pulled pork sandwich melts in your mouth and has amazing flavor with just a bit of a spicy bite to it. The best I have had. The atmosphere is great and the staff are excellent. If you are hungry and in Campbell River I highly recommend you eat here at least once.
Great food. Friendly tentative staff. Quick and accurate with drinks and food orders. Well done, especially considering we were a rowdy group of 40!
Fantastic food, very efficient and welcoming waiter, great ambiance, wonderful view. The downside was the volume. A little sound damping would do wonderful things.
The food here is amazing and well priced. You will need a reservation on the weekend. Lost a star because the chairs are very uncomfortable
Everything from the first flight of local brews to the dessert was fantastic. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was very tasty and decently priced. Food
The most popular restaurant in Campbell River. Love the food, service, and atmosphere. Some of my favourites are the Comfort Bowl, Prime Rib beef dip, Tuna Poke, Peanut Butter dumplings, kalamari, Seafood Chowder, Seafood Fettacini and their Fish and Chips. Can you tell I go there often! You will love it too. Great selection of Vancouver Island beers, Ales, and BC wines. Parking: When it gets full many people angle park across road Wheelchair accessibility: Good ramps.
Best cheesecake!! Came back and cheesecake is still amazing. Service and food is great too. Food : 5/5
Everything was exceptional,. There is a wide variety of gluten free options with a dedicated frier. The food was delicious and our server was wonderful. I couldnt recommend this place more. Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options with a dedicated frier
Yummy food and friendly staff. Prices are what youd expect for a restaurant with a beautiful view, they also offer a covered deck out front. Had their house burger and it was delicious.
Great dining experience and the food was delicious and professionally presented. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, given a very nice deuce at a window, server took care of our every need and then some. Highly recommended. Restaurant was packed and a little noisy for my elderly companion, so if we go again will opt for the outdoor patio, weather permitting.
My husband and I just had an amazing meal on the patio. It was sunny, the view was beautiful, and the service warm and friendly. Even the owner came out and went to every table introducing himself and making sure everyone was comfortable and happy! We started with the peanut butter dumplings which were absolutely delicious. I ordered the beef dip and my husband ordered the black and blue burger. Both entrees were bursting with flavour, and despite our bellies starting to overfill we just had to finish every last bite. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!
Across from the beach. Nice views. Lovely outside patio with beautiful flowers. Helpful staff and quality appies and hand-helds. Happy to return next time in Campbell River!
First off. Great place. Started off amazing! We stayed for hours meeting the owner and bantering with the waitress. Problem is once we tipped the waitress in cash it was an end of the end good bye situation. We got booted out quick. Said we had to much to drink and cut off . We even ordered desert and they said nope wouldn t even serve us what we ordered for desert. We also spent over 300$ and tipped quite well. So if you re thinking of going. Just eat and leave or you may get booted out after you tip haha.
Awesome food, but super loud in the main building because there were 2 large groups of people trying to speak over each other. I would imagine any other day would have been fine. We just had bad luck.
Id say, I love it!
We are visiting Campbell River from out of town and stumbled upon this place and we are so glad we did! Service, food, drinks, dessert, literally all 10/10. Would definitely recommend!
Our hockey team came for dinner and was treated to great service and amazing food and drinks. Highly recommend!
Great service. We went as a very big group. They were organized and we were all done in 45 mins (from ordering to eating). We still had plenty of time to walk on the beach before we headed out to the hockey game.
Love the food and atmosphere. Sevice was awesome. One of my favorite place
Being a Greek guy and recently travelled, I have to say that the Greek features are truly authentic. You havent had Greek food in Canada unless you go here. The spanikopita is absolutely spot on. Right from Athens. Well done Peter.
I recommend everything always a pleasure. I especially recommend the saganaki fried cheese!
Went for a second time, had the Prime Rib Beef Dip, gotta say it was the best one Ive ever had on my life. I didnt even hardly use the dip it was so good. Definitely my new favorite dish there. The Caesars salad was very nice too, I had it with raw red onion on top, also the coleslaw was really delish as well. On a side note, their house wine was also superb.
I had a pizza. It was just OK, bland. My husband had the spanakopita and chicken wings. He said it was very good. It is expensive. Our server was very nice.
Food is great as was the service from Ang, will be a regular here over the next few weeks!
A wonderful dinner. The establishment really shines and stands out when the Chef himself delivers the meal directly to the table. Thats pride, and that pride is clearly shared by the whole team here. My steak, cooked Chicago style was perfect. The service was fast and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here and will be back! Parking: Lots of spaces to park, easy to get in and out.
Had a lovely dinner with friends, their last experience wasnt so great so we had given them a gift card at Christmas time in order for them to give the restaurant another chance. Last night was that opportunity and it was better! The food tasted great but I did notice their portions have decreased considerably , server Lauren was pleasant and as always it is so nice to see chef Peter come by with the personalized touch! It was a tad noisy as the pub side was the only part open & full but we felt lucky to have had probably the quietest booth in such a fun place to eat.
Rockstar location, phenomal service, outstanding food. Wheelchair accessible, too. Oh and cold ketchup!!!! Wheelchair accessibility: Great inclusive location for every BODY
Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere! You cant ask for more. Oh wait, great location too
I booked 3 weeks ago for Valentines dinner and they already had over 200 reservation so we were very happy to get our reservation. Our server was very friendly and we the team worked together for a very enjoyable dinner. I ordered lasagna and it was very delicious. The sauce was creamy and meaty. The portion size was perfect for me. We shared an order of spicy calimari and it was the best calimari I have ever had. We ended our dinner with raspberry chocolate cheesecake, divinely. Next year I ll book beginning of January as we love to go here for our special occasions.
Very delicious and attentive service
Decent place. Good food. Good drinks. The servers were really good. They tolerated a large group pretty good. The chef, maybe owner? came out and checked on us and then made an annoying and sort of psycho comment about our kids. That guy should really just stay in the kitchen. Took a star off service because of him. Servers were amazing though.
Great place
5 stars all around for an incredible experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all above and beyond. A definite must visit when going through Campbell River Dietary restrictions: Immediately our waiter inquired on our dietary restrictions and allergies, and the menu had lots of options available
Great food, great atmosphere!
Always great food and great friendly service!
where do i start you are only allowed to eat there if you are over the age of 19 nowhere did it have this posted clearly. i even called to make a reservation, the lady on the phone asked if i would like bar seating, i told her i don t think i am of age for that, can we sit on the patio? she said yes and reserved that. when my girlfriends and i showed up the lady asked if i or anyone i was with was 19, i said no, she told me then we couldn t eat there without an adult. nowhere did it say this on a sign, clear on the website, nor did the lady on the phone say anything about this either. they let us in, but we were put in a back room, it was empty. the waiter was nice, but treated and talked to us like we were 5 years old. it was very weird, the food was decent. i can say i definitely wouldn t recommend as a main option.
Excellent prime rib sandwich...one of the best Ive had in a long time. Service was great too.
Our son and his partner suggested this restaurant for a family dinner when we visited Campbell River this past weekend. The entire experience was memorable in the best of ways. Our party of 6 adults and two infants was accommodated without issue. The service was perfect. The outdoor patio was warm and comfortable on a cooler evening. The drink special was yummy and the meal was even better. Everyone had a very special and wonderful time. Thank you! We will be back!
Awesome restaurant! Probably the best run place in the Campbell river area. Menu was extensive and everything tasted great. Lots of fresh home-made items. Zach was also a truly top tier waiter, loved his vibe and gave me some great recommendations! It s rare to find a waiter who seems to enjoy his job as much as him.
Super happy with the service here - we got seated ASAP despite a busy night. Our food was legendary and the drinks were good too
Was very busy when we were there, but as we had a reservation there was no issue. Food service was very quick and friendly! Nice burger and Poke
Absolute gem of a establishment , I swung by on my bike one eve. Smashed some cocktails and a yummy pizza , took in the ocean view. Well done
Very good food. Busy location so I would recomend a reservation. I had the steak and it was done to perfection. Great view of the ocean.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available Food
Good food, excellent location, and service
Had a nice dinner on the patio. We were served by a friendly waitress. Food
I had the beef tenderloin souvlaki ($28) which was nicely plated alongside rice, a couple of pieces of potato, carrots, zucchini & beets. The vegetables were nicely seasoned. There were 2 small triangles of pita bread and container of gelatinous tzatziki (as opposed to freshly made). The single skewer of meat was chewy, overcooked, unseasoned and definitely not beef tenderloin. It was probably top sirloin by its texture. It is wrong to advertise beef tenderloin & get a much cheaper cut of meat. Overall, this Greek food is very average, compared to other restaurants. I note this every time we dine here. We enjoyed the beautiful patio and water views the most. The service was good.
Best calamari you will ever have
Service was welcoming, friendly and good. Atmosphere was very pleasant . Looking forward to exploring more of the menu in the future. Food was good.
I havent had a bad meal here. Service has always been good, the owner comes by at times to check on everyones meal. I have no issues going to Fifty for a meal ever.
Came here based on a recommendation to try the Eggs Benny. I ordered a Caprese Eggs Benny with medium-runny eggs, and it was really good! I loved the side of potatoes and the pineapple/watermelon slice that came with it. Overall very tasty and a great place to have brunch!
The kalamari was very tender.... the lamb shank was amazing. They take food allergies very seriously, and if the wrong person plated the food, they take it back and have the dedicated staff plate it propperly. They even made me feel extra special on my birthday. Dietary restrictions: Highly allergic to peppers (vegetable) and olives (including olive oil)
Extremely noisy environment. Food was very slow in coming. My wife s meal was inedible.Her ribs and sides were overly salty. As was the calamari appetizer. Upon leaving I ended up vomiting up my entire meal in the parking lot. I had mousaka. It tasted fine at the time however there was something really wrong with it. Waitress was often confused although very pleasant. The whole experience was awful. Made worse by the fact my son was taking us out for our birthdays. He felt horrible. I told the waitress at the time about my concerns but no apology or compensation was offered. All in all the worst meal we have ever had. In case someone may think we had too much to drink. I will tell you I am 6 foot 6 inches tall and 270 pounds and had two beer. It was not alcohol that made me sick. It was definitely something with the food. July 30 2023
First time there. - the owner stopped by at every table to make sure everyone was having a good time. - this place was busy, and from what I could tell everyone was having a great time - out door patio with a view of the ocean, or in doors as usual. - tons of beers on Tap. (Being a tap house) Flights about 10$ - service was friendly and professional. Thanks Zack! - parking limited... but we made it happen. Parking around back. ( I believe ) Parking: When its packed. Its hard to find parking. Thats all.
Greek ribs were amazing! And the skor cheesecake... *drool*
Great atmosphere...great food. Our server Phil was amazing......give that man a raise.
The food was delicious, a bit pricey but worth it
I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food was excellent and the staff was amazing. Our friends mother was having problems with her knee when we went to leave and the staff went above and beyond to help her to the car just all around amazing thank you.
The food was delicious and the restaurant itself is beautiful, overlooking the water. Our server Jordan provided one of the best dining experiences I ve had. He really made us feel we were looked after, compensated for one of the dishes coming out a tad later than the others, and was overall a very nice person.
Nice little spot near the ocean! Very good prices!
I spent, and ate, way too much at this restaurant. The food was spot on, the service was fabulous, and the atmosphere was perfect. I Sat outside and had a great ocean view with my food.. (salmon with grilled veggies and rice pilaf)
Ive been here a few times when family is in town. CONSISTENTLY REALLY BAD SERVICE EACH AND EVERY TIME; so I dont know why we keep going. I guess were a glutton for punishment or we we just have really bad luck with our servers; plus pretty slim pickings for this style of restraunt in Campbell River. If there was literally any other establishment of this calibre, complete with a patio, wed 100% being going there; but theres nothing else. So were stuck with what we got. The food is mediocre at best. The portions are small. The prices are expensive for what you get. The beer is OK.
Good food I really enjoyed it . Service was great also . Would go back for sure
The food was extremely good and a varied choice. A warm welcome and excellent service, The Asian Ceasar Salad with Prawns was really delicious and best Calamari ever. A most enjoyable evening. Vegetarian options: There was something for everybody, everyone in our party was very complimentary about the food. Dietary restrictions: A wide choice, something for everybody and cooked to a high standard. The setting was very nice as well. Really quite a surprise. Parking: Lots of parking. Wheelchair accessibility: It was accessible.
I spent my birthday dinner here after hiking My Washington. A wonderful dinner with great service.
The food was delicious. I recommend trying the chicken souvlakia. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great, and they have a patio option as well. We will be back when were in the area.
We had an amazing anniversary dinner at the Fifty Parallel. Our server was attentive, the menu choice fantastic, and the food amazing. We enjoyed a great patio seat with an ocean view. Food was hot, beer was cold (with a great variety- I was able to sample a unique brew). We will be back!
Beautiful atmosphere, very classy place. Our chicken souvlaki was amazing! Our server was Phil and he was very friendly and knowledgeable and took great care of us.
We had an amazing meal here. The best calamari Ive ever had and fork tended Greek lamb. Lots of gluten free options available.
Very enjoyable time food service.was excellant... Food was hot ready to eat... Lots of staff working. checking up on u need any thing else.. Im looking forward to returning again. Service : 4/5
Great restaurant for lunch or dinner. Cozy atmosphere with indoor and patio seating, good service and lots of different choices for appetisers and meals. Prices are reasonable. Would highly recommend for a date night or family meal.
Great food and drinks, staff was very welcoming and fun.
Great place to have dinner when visiting Campbell River. The staff is very friendly and they have lots of beers on tap. Parking: You can easily park in front of the restaurant
Stopped in to celebrate my birthday. Reservations are recommended. Food was amazing, the server was wonderful. We started with Kalahari, I had the roast lamb my wife had Chicken souvlaki Food
Complete bad experience! We checked the reviews and we re looking to celebrate a birthday dinner. 2 of us ordered steaks, both cooked incorrectly. 1 of us opted to eat it anyway, the other one , rare, took 15 minutes for a re-order. Everyone else was finished eating. No apology and when a bad review was mentioned, the comment was we ll be fine .servers name is as Jordan. Complete lack of customer service
Gluten free pork bites and THE best GF cauliflower crust garlic chicken pizza! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options and very accommodating! Food : 5/5 |
They make a mouth watering , succulent, home made gluten free burger. The seafood chowder is also gluten free and very tasty, locally sourced seafood . The pork bites gluten free and are delicious as an appetizer. Glad I came here, as they know how to cook , and they offer a friendly homey atmosphere. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
Two burgers, fries and coleslaw (just over 1 tbsp) and a side of gravy- $42. Not having gotten cutlery or napkins in my takeout bag- sucked.
It was a bit quiet mid afternoon when we were there. Great service, very friendly and efficient. Food was good, good taste and quality and well presented. We met friends there and had a great time, we were not hurried by the servers, we ordered and ate at our pace. Wheelchair accessibility: Good ramp from the carpark to the door of the restaurant.
Great location, atmosphere and service. Great selection of beer! Food was fresh but very bland, substandard pub fare.
Wonderful staff and ownership, good food and great service! We unexpectedly showed up with a large group from out of town and they accommodated us without hesitation while providing wonderful food and service. Highly recommend based on our experience.
I can highly recommend the Fifty Parallel Tap and Grill. We had to wait a few minutes for a free table, but that wasnt a problem. There were only two of us there - if there are several people, it might be better to make a reservation in advance. We were served very friendly and attentively. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. My recommendation: poutine
Super friendly environment and the food is terrific!
Top notch.
Love the location and the atmosphere. Food is generally good, though not quite on par with itself in the Acropolis days. Service has always been good as well.
Great service, food was great.
This is Campbell Rivers best restaurant. The menu is very extensive with many options, The portions arent skimpy and the value you pay is very reasonable. And the service is phenomenal. Did I mention ocean view dining? Fifty Parallel Tap and Grill thank you for the experience, well be back for sure.
I wouldve given higher marks for atmosphere, however with all the hardscapes its extremely noisy. Very difficult to carry on a conversation . The food is above par. The service and wait staff are amazing . I highly recommend this above average eatery.
met friends there for a great meal and to watch the December 1st truck parade. A very enjoyable night, good food and great service.
Prime rib kicked so much a$$. The chef even brought them out. Every other thing we ordered was on point! Good time. Worth the price. Food : 5/5
We had our Christmas party at 50th and as expected Peter and his team didnt disappoint! Food for twenty people all came out at the same time and hot. The service from Mamosa and team was also exceptional. Thanks again for having us Peter. Always a step above the rest!
Great place, good food
Tasty food. Uncomfortable seats. Nice quick service. Huge menu.
We enjoyed our company Christmas party last night! Fantastic food, great service!!
Was decent food but nothing extraordinary by any means. Id go again but cant say its my top choice. Nice location and decent ambiance.
