Huge thanks to Mrs.Ritches tonight as we had my dad's 95th birthday dinner with about 30 people. The 2 ladies who waited on our group did an excellent job. Food came quick and was great , thanks to the kitchen. Never had a bad meal there.

K2 burger! Do not get it, even to share! It was sooooooo bad! The thinnest burger, rubbery ham, like five packs of processed cheese slices, 5 onions, so much bread, miracle whip….such poor quality! Only thing good were the potato wedges. The steak was very thin and had so much fat! The service, ambiance, and chicken Alfredo were fantastic!

Had an amazing dinner. Was craving Alfredo since morning and went straight to Mrs. Riches restaurant to satisfy my cravings. Interesting interior and well experienced staff. I was so full that I missed out on there cheesecake. But definitely next time.

If there was an option I would have given them 10 out of 10. Great atmosphere, really friendly staff, so many options. We had bacon onion burger, super delicious, honey garlic chicken burger, tasted perfect. Honey garlic chicken plate which was so fresh. And Fat kids dream pasta the best Alfredo sauce ever. It is a must try restaurant. Definitely recommended, I must tell them don’t change anything you are great the way you are.

Was really looking forward to trying this place. The atmosphere was fun and our server was amazing. But the food was just okay. The salad was fine and the won ton soup were interesting, and tasted decent, but not spectacular. Will likely be back to try the desserts but so far not in the top five best places we've tried in Nanaimo. My wife wanted to give it 4/5 so we'll split the difference and call it 3.5

Tonight we by fluke chose to go Mrs. Richies.( I wanted family friendly and a good burger) So I ended up on old Google and boom up popped Mrs. Richies! From the moment we walked in the door ( the friendly welcome was huge and super appreciated) Kimberly was our waitress and she was excellent. I had to try the won ton soup and wow!!!!!! Also had the chicken cordon blue burger and the bacon onion burger!!! The gravy and fries are incredible 😋 I'll try poutine next time as I dislike coated fries and these were definitely not coasted and crisp yet soft!!! Yummy!!! My Cesar's was great!!! Seriously what absolute treat. Currently fat,full and extremely happy.

Its a great place with a very unique and eckelectic design! Its a really fun and unique casual place to go to! Reasonably-priced. Good food and LOTS OF IT! The people who have dared to have taken on their famousMountain and Swiss Alps Burgers are spoken of in tones of hushed reverance to have tried to eat these gigantic things! Eating it gets your photo on the wall! I aint kiddin! And theres not just huge burgers they make! We used to go there at times and split one of these huge burgers between 4 kids! My god! WHO MAKES HAMBURGER BUNS THAT BIG!!! LOL! But beyond these monumental burgers, they have a ton of other great delicious things on the menu to choose from! Yu gotta eat there!

The veal cutlets were perfect, and my spouse had the NEW Buddha Bowl. Cutlets and scalloped potatoes were great, and although the Bowl was not something she would normally order, my wife was super happy she got it. It was way too much to finish, but it was one of the best meals so far on this vacation. Definitely recommend.

Had wor wonton soup. The wontons themselves were large and tasty but the broth itself was weak and tasteless. I brought it home after eating very little and tuned up the broth myself. Added hoisin sauce and sesame oil and that was all it needed.

Server was the only pleasant experience. Ribs were reheated with a microwave and scalloped potatoes has raw onions in it and it was smothered in cheese sauce and mushy not baked. Got a refund on the Ribs and ordered a small bowl of wonton soup. Bacon mac n cheese was priced at 28.00 and was also containing raw onions and the same cheese sauce as the scalloped potatoes. Didnt send it back and when a complaint was presented to the manager it was then recognized with a 20% discount for a bowl of mac and cheese with uncooked onions that cost them $3 to make 5 days ago Im sure. Do not go here. Service by server was amazing but someone needs management lessons and cooking lessons. Severely disappointed.

This will be the last time we order from Mrs. Riches. I have long been a huge fan of the wor wonton soup! I completely understand the cost of goods have gone up but for there to be a 4 dollar price increase plus the portion literally being cut in half it is not worth it. I paid an extra 6 dollars for a garlic bread order. It consisted of 2 ,1/2 slices of the garlic bread you can buy at superstore for 4 dollars for a bag of 18 full pieces. This is just straight up greed. It will cost them in the long run.

This restaurant has a homey eclectic appearance, with good food and service. I enjoyed the small war wonton. Lots of healthy food and well cooked.

My mom loved the fish and chips, she said it was one of the best she ever had. Highly, highly recommend. If I could give more stars I would. We will be coming back for sure.

December 22, 2023

5 stars because the waitress was amazing. On the ball, great sense of humor- had the entire table cracking up. Would come back just for the hospitality, which is a rare gem these days Food was good, I had the fish and chips and it was decent. The gravy was very good, make sure you get gravy to dip your fries in. Whole place had a vibe, theres an entire car mounted above the seating area. Very quirky, and also most importantly - reasonable prices. Next time I visit the Island Ill be returning here The only downside is the parking. The lot is small and no lines so people park badly, with way too much space in-between each other so only about 6-7 cars fit. Otherwise you have to find street parking

While the staff was lovely, the food was sub-par at best. I had the bacon onion burger which was so greasy every time I took a bite I was wiping my chin because it oozed of fat. My partner had the fish and chips and the fish was tasteless and soggy from being so full of grease. Not to mention, the building itself reeks of mold. For the price we paid for lunch, unfortunately this one missed the mark.

It is basically a diner. I can only comment on one dish because thats what I get every time I go. The War Wonton soup is a religious experience especially when you add some of their homemade hot sauce. I usually get it with extra pork if you want a little tip. Its not inexpensive but its worth it.

Ordered delivery and it was horrible. Wife ordered an appetizer platter. There was a half melted plastic cup of some vile smelling red liquid in with the food. The chicken nuggets had a strong chemical taste to them. The med wontons tasted like fish, but they do not have any seafood listed as an ingredient. We both ended up with stomach issues the next day, no surprise why. Super gross. I ordered the famous beef dip. It was fine. Not sure what it would be famous for unless it was most average beef dip. The beef was nice but it was incredibly bland and the jus was in a tiny little cup that was awkward to use and was also lacking flavour. Not worth it unless you like mediocre food and food poisoning.

Mrs Riches: They have very friendly service, good Covid precautions and a quiet setting. The K2 Burger Challenge is a thing to behold. If you can consume this violently large burger platter, you eat for free. Their polaroid wall of fame is like a gladiator memorial of failed hopefuls who flung their Pretorian hopes at this meat atrocity. Try it with a defibrillator present and EHS Advanced Life Support on standby . This enormous food platter needs only wheels to double as a meat chariot or at least a bathtub. Bring your camera and call ahead for this burger (they need advanced notice). $67 if you can t finish it. Meat sweats are free. We brought our burliest alpha male. He stacked his hopes high on this burger but only slayed 60% of it before adopting a curious sitting angle, pained facial expressions and a litany of excuses . I believe doctors call this protein exhaustion .

The short version: this is a fun little restaurant that has something delicious for everyone. We love Mrs. Riches. The interior decorating is reason enough to go memorabilia on the walls, a car mounted on the wall, and many other things you will have to discover yourself. The menu is varied with something for everyone and everything we have tried has been great. Personally I recommend the Wor Wonton soup, and the milkshakes! The portions are large and eradicate the biggest growlies, or give you a second meal to enjoy at home.

Im not sure if its because it was an hour before close, but I was disappointed with the amount of beef on my beef dip. And beef being the key thing on a beef dip, it shouldnt be lacking. Sadly, the onion rings werent much better, and Im pretty sure they are the same as a popular ice cream chains... Overall it needed salt, the jus included. I wouldnt be upset if someone treated me to a meal here, but I certainly wouldnt pick it myself. Parking: Loads of parking in the side lot, and a fair amount on the street

The wonton soup was great until I found a small green worm floating in my soup, hopefully the veggies will be washed more thoroughly in the future

Great burger. Did a pickup order, as we were driving through. No napkins or ketchup in the bag. Guess I should have checked before I left.

Love this place, just finished eating here with my buddy. I had the beef dip, very soft bun and prime beef that melts in your mouth with a delicious Au Jus. He had the chicken cordon bleu burger and told me it was delicious. Great food, great service!

Tried to order delivery at 5:55pm from Skip the Dishes, got my order ready, pressed send, Restaurant closed popped up. Called supposed closed restaurant and placed an order for pick up. Magically they were open, got the food back to the hotel room to discover missing items and a Mandarin Chicken Salad that had no chicken .at $19.47 please ensure there s chicken .step up your game a bit. Covid or not .

Got the Swiss alps burger, and with the exception of cheap buffets, thats probably the most food you can get for 25 bucks. I was really hungry and that more then filled me up.
