220 Dogwood St, Campbell River, BC V9W 5M7, Canada
Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, the waffles are sooooo good! I'm so glad I had been camping this last week and could eat two servings in one sitting coz I was so torn between Sweet and savory. I had the west coast Belgian waffle and a build thought own strawberries with whipped cream. I am so satisfied ❤️! I recommend for sure 😊
Awesome place to eat and enjoy with your family. Staff is really friendly. My son loved the waffle.
Wet your whistle and your waffle at the Whistlin’ Waffle in Campbell River - with plenty of variety and choice of waffle, have one of their signature creations or make your own! The choice is yours, and abundant. I had the strawberries and cream on a Brussels waffle, piled high with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, powdered sugar and vanilla ice cream! The lady had their mango burst, appropriately named as it too was piled high with mango pieces, powdered sugar, whipped cream and mango ice cream! 10/10 would scour the corners and holes in walls for a delectable, sweet, golden early morning treat! Stay hungry my friends.
It was our first time visiting Whistlin' Waffle and we loved it. The avocado eggs Benny on a waffle was incredible. Everything tasted so fresh and high quality. It's a nice, relaxed atmosphere with great service. Can't wait to go back!
Love this place! I drive up from Comox everytime I am in the Valley! Best Waffle’s 🧇
We had a fantastic meal at Whistlin' Waffle today. Our server was nice and funny. The atmosphere was cool with a hint of funky. Between our group we had the West Coast Benny (smoked salmon), Twisted Chicken Benny (fried chicken), and 2x4 (farmers breakfast). Everything came with waffles (no English muffins, no toast), even the Benny's were on waffles. We will definitely be back again!
We went for a drive from the Cowichan Valley and ended up here for brunch. Absolutely FABULOUS. I had the Monty Monty (no mushrooms), and my husband had the Breakie Poutine. The server was very sweet, and the lovely woman in the back (owner maybe?) brought us a bowl of the most delicious sticky coconut rice with mango. I don't even like mango, but this dish, all the food, was amazing! Seriously worth the 2 hour drive, and we will definitely be back. Well done, and thank you for making our day.
This place is cute and amazing! The staff was very efficent and the food was TASTY. The waffles were delish! I had the monty monty benny and it's served on a waffle! Yum! If you're in Campbell River, grab come brunch here!
The food was SO good. I was especially impressed by the gluten free waffle! Best one I have ever had. I think our server was the owner because she was so knowledgeable and flexible for my gluten intolerance and for my kids weird orders. Highly recommend. Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for gluten free. Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids
Our first visit. Great unassuming place. If you want great waffles go here. They also have bubble tea!!
Good food, excellent service.
What an absolute gem! Stumbled upon this place by accident and we will definitely be back. Everything was fresh, fast and delicious. Service was kind and helpful. Kid friendly with colouring pages, etc. Great experience! Kid-friendliness: High chair, affordable kids menu, colouring, friendly staff
Really good waffle house
I was lucky to come across this cheerful restaurant on a roadtrip through Campbell River. The most friendly staff and great bubble tea!
Finally popped in for breakfast and it didnt disappoint! Food was great and the servers are lovely. They certainly know their waffles! We will definitely go back
Ridiculously delicious food. Was blown away!
Amazing breakfast and staff! Thanks for a great meal.
Awesome breakfast place!
Wow! Absolutely amazing food! I live and brunch in Victoria so this was a great surprise in Campbell River. And unsweeted waffle fresh with bennies awesome idea! Dinner feel but food is comfy and modern twist. Took the Monty Monty, was starving but had a boxed left over.. .fruit sub for hash well priced. Soft bennies were perfectly soft handmade/ no molded rpubd weird shape. Waffle amazing Iced coffee reasonable price, was on the sweet side but they kindly added more coffee and it balanced it. Plus you can get bubble tea in the morning rather than night!! Got a peach-mojito black tea with pearls. Amazing food and staff , they were busy kind but not overwhelmed ! I will be back! Parking: Strip mall with a lot of parking. Wheelchair accessibility: A lot of space between tables ; kids menu, enough spaces between table..
Went with family for the first time and food was phenomenal. I had the chicken and waffles which were so good. Really great breakfast / brunch spot.
I went here with my spouse 8 days after getting my wisdom teeth pulled craving some real food. I asked the waitress, who was so kind, if they could make the waffle fries soft for me, she said no problem! They did just that, it was such a kind gesture of them to do extra, when they didn t have to, to deliver exactly what I wanted so I could eat. I ordered the breakfast poutine, it was so amazing, we went back for a second time before leaving the island! The chef herself was a very very kind soul too, great energy in that place. Service, food and atmosphere 10/10. Will be coming back again :)
4 of us had breakfast here en route to Nainamo. All food freshly cooked and beautifully presented. I had the West Coast with avacado as an extra and my waffle on the side. Husband had the 2patties, 2 bacon and 2 poached eggs, Son had the chicken waffle and his partner had the West Coast too. All absolutely delicious! Drip coffee refills too. I can heartily recommend this place. Staff very helpful. Thank you.
waffles were scrumpity delicious!
Delicious food and super fast service! Our breakfast was great :)
Wow, my friend and I were so impressed by the delicious, picture-perfect brunch we had at Whistlin Waffle! We each had the combo breakfast (two free-range poached eggs, four pieces of bacon, hashbrowns and a waffle with added strawberries and cream :) ). All the food was high-quality and cooked absolutely perfectly, and the portions were generous and reasonably priced. The restaurant feels fresh, clean and comfortable and the service is friendly. The exterior of the strip mall just doesnt do the place justice and thus could be easily overlooked while driving down Dogwood. This is truly a Campbell River gem - give it a try and I am sure it will become a favourite destination!
I havent been here in a long time and Im glad we went. I had the breakfast poutine and everything from the hollandaise sauce to the egg and the waffle fries was delicious. My daughter had the waffle with whipped cream and blueberries and it was also very good. The prices were the most affordable that I have seen since covid hit, I was actually floored. It was worth going out to eat! We should have take pictures but we all ate it so fast.
Food and staff are great, we always make a stop here when were here from the lower mainland.The breakfast poutine and Nutella and banana waffle are really good!
Everything waffle and the standard options were all good.
Really small portion for that price cheap ice cream and cheap whipping cream with instant coffee for ~$20 seriously?
Food is amazing when this place is actually open. Going to have to start calling every time now. Take a day trip and stop by here because hours say open but it is always closed every damn time.
yummy all the time
Interesting variety of waffles. Tasty food. Reasonable prices and very good service.
Great food but horrible service, rude staff
Amazing spot very fast service and great food. The owner is lovely and very friendly. A must visit if your in town
I wish this place was on skip or door dash in the mornings or dinner ..they are delicious foods to eat.. and not to mention the bubble teas and milk shakes
Fantastic place! Gluten free options very clean and amazing helpful pleasant staff. Thank you Whistlin Waffle you made the experience worth coming back! Vegetarian options: Options Dietary restrictions: Very considerate of dietary restrictions Parking: Lots of parking
Food is amazing
Amazing. The food was great. Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating of my allergies. I ordered a Benny without hollandaise and explained why. She made me my very own special dairy free hollandaise! I m sure it s not something they offer regularly, but I was so impressed.
Food was good, service was even better! Thanks to our server who took excellent care of us last weekend, she made our morning.
Came here to try their Eggs benny on a waffle. Very tasty. Would eat here again.
Delicious food and friendly staff. All of the waffles are amazing and the bubble tea is a nice treat too. One of our go to breakfast places! Very affordable compared to most other places too.
It s a must stop for breakfast when in town. Kids love it and eat the whole plate.
Favourite payday treat in our house!! YUM.
Had the BLACT....bacon, lettuce, avocado, cheese and tomato on a waffle. Very good, waffle was light, not doughy or soggy. Was so good I even ended up wearing some( avocado landed on my shirt and tie). Choice of waffle fries or salad. I chose waffle fries. They were very good. Firm, but cooked, not too crispy , tender and tasty. Place was very clean, and fast service. Good value for your money. Dont know why there werent more people there.
Busy waffle shop! Delicious waffles with a good deal
Great food. I had the chicken and waffles. I would 100% recommend this place. Cute little restaurant.
Food really good service really good its basically almost like a waffle house
Breakfast poutine was tasty.
Great food. Great service. Very clean (washrooms too!) Plenty of parking. I had breakfast this time but Ill definitely be back for a bubble tea.
BEST Waffle
awesome food and service
Food was pretty good, the eggs were cooked perfectly. My problem is with the server, she didnt take our order down right, took until we almost finished our meal to refill our water, and when asked for Tabasco sauce she said she would be right back but we didnt see her again. It seems like she was the only other one working at the time but I have seen better service in busier places. Just not impressed. Kid-friendliness: High chair was clean and ready for use.
Very good food, efficient service Healthy options too.
Was amazing as always, the waffels never dissappoint! Vegetarian options: Saw vegetarian options and got one myself Kid-friendliness: Friendly service with open floor, not many places for a kid to dissappear to. Wheelchair accessibility: I saw ramps all around the area
Took my family to celebrate my birthday son at the restaurant, the food, and ambiance, were fabulous, the server was so nice and she bring us the cake in the end, my son was so happy. I highly recommend this place. Thank you very much
Awesome place! Go here for a great breakfast and beyond.
Really good waffles. Made a vegetarian dish just from scratch only because my friend asked if there are vegetarian options :) amazing
Nice little breakfast place. Good bubble tea.
Awesome food, good service and prices
What a yummy place to go for breakfast If you are a waffle fan, this is your slice of heaven The bubble waffle was quite unique with a nice flavour and a bit of a crunch. The Belgian waffle was delicious Ill return on a future trip for sure!
Fresh, delicious and big sizes! Great, friendly service! I would definitely come back here!
Definitely a hole in the wall! So happy we checked it out due to the Google reviews! All 5 of us loved our meals! Will definitely be back!!
The kids favorite place to eat.
Improved food, friendly service. The benny was delicious.
Staff was friendly and welcoming with excellent service. Amazing breakfast/brunch/lunch find. Think breakfast diner with a twist. Had sweet waffle dish and savory waffle dish. Clean, simple flavors with good variety of menu choices. Will be back.
Good prices, good food
Very friendly owner . She was helpful and answered my questions even though she looked and was busy. A baby and a business to juggle and still smiling . Bubble Tea was alright not the best I have had . First time I went they were out of Tapioca Pearls so I tried a non gluten choice that the flavor and texture was too much after more than one sip so I decided to try again I went back and had another with the Pearls which were a little mushy for my liking. I have only tried the MilkTea. Will try a Fruit Blend next time before I decide whether I will make it a regular stop. **Edit The whistling waffle is my go to for Bubble Tea. The owner is quite amazing and goes above and beyond in her interactions with customers. Plus there is the waffles. Their waffles are perfect YUM!
Excellent food, great prices! Highly recommend here
Great service, awesome menu!
Went for the first time this past weekend around lunch time. Super nice and friendly staff, delicious waffles and bubble tea! i had the 1/2 size mango burst on a bubble waffle and a green tea lychee mojito with lychee jelly bubble tea Deff will be back to try the others!
I don t know how I had never heard of this place before! The bubble waffles are delicious, the service is amazing, and the waffle fries were so good they were gone before I could get a picture! Definitely would recommend, and will absolutely be returning! Big thanks to our server, Francesca, for looking after us so well despite the Sunday brunch rush!
I love the whistlin waffle! The food is amazing & the prices are good to! Went there twice this past weekend and the food was fresh as always and excellent! The Whistlin Waffle is my favourite place to go to while in Campbell river.
Always a great place. The grandkids love it too
Always good service and great food
The breakfast was really good. If you like waffles, then this is a great place to eat!
My 8 year old says It s amazing. I wish I could give it 26 stars .
Love this place, never disappointed. Love the huge range of bubble tea options
Very good service and great food.
Brought my Mom here for her Birthday Brunch and they went above and beyond. The food was so delicious, and the service was excellent. Chicken and Waffles! Need I say more?
Enjoyed lunch on Mothers Day. Food was good. My husband found single waffle was not enough. Waffle poutine tasted great. Also had fruit waffle and smores waffle. Decor is pretty plain. You are here to eat!
Just went for the first time today. Fun choices and yummy food for our whole group. Being able to add a bubble tea! Amazing. I had chicken and waffel and the chicken was flavorful and candied bacon yummy on the fluffy waffle. The service was so friendly and quick. I think at least three staff came to our table making sure we had everything we needed. Loved it.
Best place for breakfast!! Delicious! Quantity great for the price! Very friendly environment and great service!!
Coffee was burnt, waffles were soft and the service was so slow. Had to go up to the servers to get coffee. Not bad for originality, but room to improve for overall experience.
I was there with my children to have some bubble tea and these were super delicious the best! Thank you for the wonderful attention that the owner gave us and absolutely we will be going again to savor the delicious bubble tea again!
Spent more time waiting to be served our meals than we did enjoying any food.
This cute little breakfast place has to be one of the best places on the island! The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. The owner Jen went above and beyond to even help us find a place to stay for the night! I recommend this place to anyone local or any travellers passing by. This place is simply one of the best! -Love, Cousin DJ
The owner is awesome and the food is excellent
Kind of a weird little place, not sure how to describe the weird, just an odd feel. Food was awesome though!
I had waffle fries and a strawberries and cream brussel waffle. The waffle fries are great to share or have alone. The strawberries and cream waffle has the perfect mix of fruit, icecream and waffle, so you can have some of each with pretty much every bite. It was quite busy when I went, around 11am on a Sunday, but the server was still fast with taking my order and delivering my food. I would highly recommend going here if you are in Campbell River, and is in my opinion the best place in town to have waffles. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, Im unsure if there are any other dietary friendly options, but there probably are
The waffle fries are great! I really enjoy the sandwiches they make too. Bubble tea is always a must.
Noisy, slow, and serious lack of options if you don t want a waffle or deep friend sandwich.
Excellent service with one waitress food was very delicious and very filling
Waffles blew my mind bubble waffle is a game changer
Ive had the Westcoast benny twice now and its always yummy! Ill try something different next time.....everything on the menu looks good. Also tried a bubble tea today for the first time too. It was really good as well.
This place is quite the experience! I highly suggest the bubble waffle!
Delicious!
Last Sunday my son and I decided to go have breakfast in Campbell River. One and a half frustrating hrs later we found Whistlin Waffle was open. We wanted to avoid fast food and support local business but everywhere we went was closed except Ideal Cafe which had a huge line up outside. Once we ordered our food its was awesome, staff were happy, friendly, with quick attentive service. Recommend the traditional eggs benny on a waffle. Big thank you to the owners and managment and staff for being open on a Sunday and doing what it takes for their patrons to support local non fast food... Walkn the walk, not just talk.
Always delicious!
Awesome. Love the breakfast poutine. And the bubble tea
Great food... Great service
Yum yum yum! This place knows whats up when it comes to waffles. I had a Monty Monty Benny. Its a Benny ON a waffle. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be enjoying their time at this establishment. Highly recommended
so many choices!!
The bubbletea flavors are so well considered and taste so fresh, really beyond where a lot of Toronto bubble tea places set the bar
Awesome breakfast and lunch spot. Sandwiches are made with waffles!! Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Highly recommend
Wasnt expecting much to begin with, since using waffles as a gimmick for a restaurant already says a lot about their low effort, but I was still let down. The food was horrible and the service just wasnt comforting whatsoever. Both my partner and I had our waffles delivered cold. My dish came with hashbrowns on the side, and those were also cold. Not the kind of temperature where the food is waiting for a while, but it moreso felt like they had a bulk amount just sitting there, and then put it on my plate. We got our food quite fast after ordering, so it shouldve been hot, right? But both our waffles were that same temperature, as though they had been sitting there before we came into the restaurant. The waffle poutine we were served was hot, but that mightve just been because they used recently made gravy. Although that item was hot, it was extremely low quality. Pre-shredded cheese you buy in bags at Walmart, as well as the water and powder gravy. All the food was extremely lazy and the whole waffle house gimmick doesnt excuse for poor food. There is a difference between wholesome and nostalgic home style food versus just lazily put together premade bought ingredients and upscaling the price.
Good breakfast place. Safe masks worn, dividers between tables. Food very good. Bennies on a waffle. Had smoked salmon benny and a waffle combo. All very good. Not fancy but clean.
FANTASTIC FOOD! GREAT SERVICE! BEST BREAKFAST IVE HAD IN A LONG TIME! IF YOU ARE EVER IN CAMPBELL RIVER, YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE! I HAD THE SMORE BUBBLE WAFFLE AND IT WAS GREAT. NOT SICKLY SWEET. IT WAS TASTY!
Enjoyed my fresh strawberry and Nutella waffle thoroughly. Service was excellent, with friendly, informative and helpful staff! We will definitely return next time were in town! Yum
The food is awesome and portions are large. The after hours take out window is great news
Fabulous food and service!! Gluten free waffles to die for!
Delicious bubble tea! I havent tried anything else from here yet but they do have a very tempting menu.
Amazing! Havent been since first opened back by willows market , Amazing!! Got Boba slush I got Green apple with mango pearls and pineapple jelly Mom got coconut milk with lychee pearls and mango jelly (Angry birds lids were cute aswell) Hope to try the waffles soon :)
Love this place! Creative creations that taste delicious!!
This place is awesome!!!!..Im having The Bear and OMG it is delicious!!!!!.. everything on the menu is sooooo good! Check it out
Good service good great food. Definitely a place to check out for your family young and old great good to go.
This is the best waffles and a great place to hang out
loved the waffle sandwich the saladwas beautiful greens with sliced strawberries with balsmatic vinegar
Went in to get a menu , from first impression ? I would like to dine in and enjoy the experience. Then I will update with stars. Had to leave a star to post comments. Looking forward to eating waffles soon.
Love this place and the proprietors! Fast, friendly and delicious! Has become a weekly treat. Highly recommend especially for the scratch Hollandaise.
Best bubble tea
Quick wait times for food! Great and different cuisine. Friendly staff. Awesome place to be!
Super yummy and great portions!
Fantastic bubble tea
During this new normal (Covid19) Whistlin Waffle has you covered. Dine is was great ! So head on over and stop Wafffling about Whistlin Waffle. Waffles and bubble tea ! The kid went off on both...he just couldnt help himself. Great food and service ! And you would be helping out a small business too....Winner Winner Waffle Dinner .
Omg so good!! Must eat here!
Havent had a bad meal here. The food is great!
Great food, excellent service. Always happy to go get some Whistlin
Kind of small servings but was good food
Can not go wrong eating here! Lovely staff, and excellent food.
Now here the spot. The owners are amazing. It was ourbgod sons 17 birthday. He has down syndrome. The owners made him a waffle with whip cream and ice cream with a sparkler and it made his day. He is still talking about it. Thanks so much. The food for us was also amazing.
The waffles were light and delicious fruit was fresh, real whipped cream lots of choices for toppings and many ways to have the waffles. Will definitely be going again. Staff friendly
5 stars as always. The food here doesnt leave you over stuffed or feeling hungry. It satisfies you just the right amount. The foods flavors all meld together in perfect harmony, no flavor is fighting another for dominance. Its just one big happy family of flavors. 10/10 If you dont eat here at least once you are doing yourself and your tongue a disservice.
Had the chicken and waffles.. great food, friendly service.. love the shelf full of board games.
Always super good!
My boyfriend and I have been coming here since they opened great staff and food
Food is fairly good. Had the chicken and waffles. Portion was kinda small and the waffles were a bit dry. The problem for me was the dining area. It s not very inviting and it was freeIng cold. Everyone had to keep their jackets on to try and stay warm. There s definite potential here though.
Great waffles, sandwiches and breakfast. Very popular so expect a short wait most days. It is definitely worth the wait.
Original flavours. I will return
The food was very good, but you pay for it. The service fair.
Fast! Delicious and great service. Coffee topped up and build your own waffles!
the smoked salmon waffle was excellent. Great quality. Great amount of food for your money. I never would have thought to put smoked salmon, and eggs on a waffle. Its places like this that I love to find when traveling. Great job.
Great taste and very soft waffles. They even have fun types like the bubble waffle that has air pockets in it. Not as much of a fan of their bubble tea though.
Nice little place. Food was a little cold but was good. Would go back and try it again
Great place to get delicious waffles with a variety of different toppings. They also do Eggs Benny various different ways. They even serve bubble tea. This place was once located in Willow Point across the street from Discovery Foods but now according to a sign posted on their door back in July, They were going to be moving to the old Fusilli Grill located in the same shopping complex as Subway and Pizza Hut (220 Dogwood Street).
Great family friendly place, waffles are warm and fluffy.
Tasty, fresh, not greacey. Very tasty menu. Best waffles in Campbell River.
The food was good but not great. Rather small portions. The chicken and waffles was served with chicken strips.
The new location is very nice and spacious. We had the Breakfast poutine and it was excellent. Real hollandaise sauce is truly delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.
What an amazing place. Yummy food and friendly staff well definitely be back
Best bubble tea in town! Waffles are great too.
Very good food!! Loved it!
Unique, crispy, delicious
Went in for brunch and really enjoyed my experience! They were really busy on this particular day, but they promptly got us seated. Food came out in a normal amount of time. Bubble tea was awesome and I loved my eggs benny!
This may be my favourite place to eat in town. Bubble Tea, waffle fries, and of course, delicious waffles? Yes please.
We enjoy our Breakfasts here on a regular basis. Thanks for the creative options!
Overpriced menu with only passable waffles...White Spot is a better choice
Fresh waffles. Delish toppings. Mango and a banana/Nutella. Dozen tables.
Fabulous food and love the bubble teas
Great service, friendly and knowledgeable. Moved recently to the city and I have not been impressed with the availability of products that I am used to find in the main land, but I guess that is the price of moving out of the rat race.
Awesome waffles...great service as well...
Great service and amazing food! Best waffles around!
I had the BLA (bacon lettuce avocado)waffle, delicious! Great prices, awesome service
Very friendly place with good food
Excellent. Food is always fantastic.
Not sure of the business model, but, good waffles !!
Great service great food!!
The food is quite good and they feature a decent variety. The only main complaint is the wait. They seem to have a small staff and limited equipment so youll have to expect a wait. We went in a busy day and we waited almost 50 minutes for our food. We werent in a rush which helped but if you are, I wouldnt recommend this for lunch on a work day if you are wanting to order food. However if you want bubble tea or a drink to go, you can get something rather quick if you want that as an alternative.
GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE!!! If youve never tried Whistlin Waffle youve missed out on THEE best and most different experience in Campbell River. Walk in and get a whiff of the Waffles and youre hooked. It isnt just waffles we are talking about here. Eggs Bennies are perfect. Youll be freaked that youve never tried it and will be back. Go go GO !!!
Had the Monty Monty eggs benny and it was delicious.Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back for seconds.
