3675 3rd Ave, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 4E7, Canada
I've been going to this place for years . I just ordered the jalapeño chicken burger , for $15 dollars I got an awesome burger , a side of macaroni salad and a side of tater tots .. 15 dollars ! And it was great as always
Crust is too thick. Plus with so many toppings, the pizza tastes undercooked. Just stick to there chicken..
Over cooked burgers to where it's charred on, One or both burger patties. French fries are either really good or half oily, soggy or over salted ! Over mayonnaise, mustard the buns and quite tasteless pickle. Price is not worth it could make own at home or order elsewhere. Quite disappointing 😮
I mean. Chicken Burger is a 2/5. Dry and too salty without any further taste. Fries okay… I intended to dine in but got a take out without asking. The smell of the place is not amusing. So if you need food. that’s okay.expect more than food, you might have better choice in town.
Fried Chicken and Seafood restaurant located in Port Alberni. This place is like an old school bistro. Food is good, but for the price there is better food available elsewhere. This is one of the few restaurants in the area which stays open late night, so this is the place to go for late night eat outs.
For a place called "Granny's Chicken" & "3 for 1 Pizza" you'd think that they would have fantastic Chicken. This is not the case. The classic Granny's Chicken tasted like I bought them from a grocery store, the "largest portions in town" were very small when you look at the Butter Chicken combo. Which was supposed to be equivalent to a large 5 topping pizza. The butter Chicken was smaller than a side salad. The Pizza was probably the best part, they did load on toppings so you got good value. The Chicken Wings were also alright. But those were the only redeeming features. The staff was very rude to us on the phone and hung up on us the first time. Which I'll admit should have been my first clue. I will not be back, save your money and buy your food elsewhere
First time ordering from Granny's and I must say I'm impressed I got the fish and chips and it came with 3 massive pieces of perfectly golden crispy cod and a whole box of fries delivered in under 30 minutes that arrived hot and fresh, any the reviews that say the fries aren't crispy don't know anything about what a chip wagon style chip is all about fries were absolutely delicious aswell not crispy cause they aren't supposed to be. Can't wait to dive into more of their menu. Oh and let's not forget the super fair pricing!!!
#chicken #ribs #fries #salad #ceasar #gravy Wish we dropped in and tried it out but ordered out instead and it was great chicken fries salad and gravy but the end of the stick so to speak .... of the #rib taste great but couldn't eat half of it...... ( no ribs just cartlidge) and dry meat. Glad the portions were huge and I didnt miss it much. Still full and happy. Not a good first impression but thanks
Best that I have ever had
I ordered a hard taco and they gave me soft taco+charged me for it, double checked the order with me and everything and said it right on call, I specified that we would need cash for change since we only had big bills and she said she would tell him, she told our delivery man we did not and he had to come back, dont know who the delivery man was but he was very polite food was good, great food will order again
Good food big menu
Why dose poutine take 45 minutes Worth it tho Food
Grannies is always fast efficient and totally professional, great customer service and very good moral.
Best pizza, awesome chicken tenders, generous portions! Best restaurant in town.
The BEST fish & chips with a delicious cesaer salad
Today we ate at this restaurant and the truth is that the experience has not been good. The place is run down, not very clean and the food was not worth it. A lot of potatoes but the important things like the chicken burger and especially the ribs were not good at all. The ribs were tough and we didnt really know what they were but they certainly werent the typical ribs. So for the price I would recommend any other place along the way.
Idk food doesn t seem worth the price they charge. 8$ for a large gravy is kinda crazy. Pizzas were nearly burnt
Always excellent, perfect fast food.
The Ceasar salads are always great but our chicken, which is usually great as well, wasnt crispy. The chicken was cooked but the coating was pale and soggy. Could have been because we were one of the first orders of the day.... Food
Chicken & fries were fantastic. And lots of it. Coleslaw was just ok. Sadly it was really cold in the restaurant so we took our food the the car. Looking forward to going back.
Apparently they are closer until January 15th. Went to grab lunch today and the guy inside says - we re closed until the 15th. Sone signage on the window MIGHT be useful .
Always good food.
Burger, fries and wings not great. Better to try the seafood...the place is rather deserted....
Great pizza and chicken dinners. Also its open late so if youre hungry late in the night this is your best bet.
Excellent food. Constantly running out of chicken though which is weird. Service not very attentive but worth the price for the food
Food was not bad the are open later than any other places to eat good late snacks
So many choices!! From burgers to chicken to Indian food to Mexican dishes..... if you have any craving, you can probably find it here. Chicken taco salad was delicious. Highly recommend!! Food
Way to many things on the menu, no where that makes that many things makes them all good. I had the mexi fries supreme and it was good, my partner had the fish and chips and it was not so great, and it only comes in a 3 piece. They were out of fried chicken when we got there.
Extremely yummy wings, got hot. Got a medium 2 topping, pepperoni and sausage.
Most distasteful chicken ever. Disgusting. Ill be calling back in morning. If I could post a picture I would.
New to Port ALberni, we have tried 3 different local pizza places, and Granny s is the ONE I am compelled to write a review for. We stopped in last night and ordered a large 5 topping pizza. Hands down the best pizza we ve had in town. The crust is perfect, not too greasy, and does not taste like cardboard as we have found with other pizza options in town. Very generous with toppings and decent prices. Tasty! ..and cooked perfectly.
Amazing food. Must have when in port alberni
Three people had stomach cramps after eating here
We were returning from a fishing trip in Bamfield and this restaurant seemed to check all our boxes. We were starving, and they had a sign saying biggest portions in town. Well they were honest, and the food was great. I had the Chicken Taco Salad, and friends had the Krispy Chicken Burger with fries, all very satisfied. Will make this a mandatory stop on our next trip. Be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes though.
I like pretty much everything but the chicken lol.
Not great food. I mean come on
If you want to spend a full day and night on the toilet, get the Thai wrap. My husband and I both ordered the Thai wrap which had Cesar salad in it with croutons (weird, but ok). Tasted odd but figured it was because they put Cesar dressing with sweet chili sauce (you can imagine what that tastes like). Well, nope, both got food poisoning from it, no one else got sick because none else ordered the Thai wraps. In case the owner looks at this, whoever was in the kitchen on Sunday, Oct 22 at 5pm, that is who is responsible for that mess.
Blast the past,good food good service
Best damn pizza on the planet ! If you want something that fills you up and pleases your hunger try the fully loaded supreme pizza it s cooked to perfection and absolutely priced on the affordable side! You can t go wrong with this choice also always on the spot service! Every time I m in Port I get one to go ! Parking: Lots of parking along the front or on either side. Wheelchair accessibility: 100% easily accessible
Always fantastic!
Amazing food and massive portions. I love the Dijon mozza chicken burger with bacon and the teriyaki one. The fries are sooooo good too. Prices are reasonable as well. Definitely a great place to order from when we dont want to cook!
The food is nasty, don t go here. I got the ribs. Half were very old, dry, no flavour like they were boiled a few days ago, the other half of them were a little more fresh and super tough. Bad flavour overall. Fries were good. Bean salad was gross, just straight from a can and didn t seem fresh even. Don t waste your time or money. The owners should read this and have a better eye on what goes out the door.
Best butter chicken I have ever had. Portions are awesome and service is always great.
I order from this place often, an it s 50/50 for getting good quality food it takes a few times for me to actually say something bad about the food I order and I ve gotten some very dry chicken and cold fries a few times and for some reason extra hot gravy.
Amazing pizza, homemade fries and great service!!
Pizza was really good and the price is unbeatable in town
My bun was burnt and they put onions on there chicken big crunch burger was not good at all. Phoned and told them it was burnt and they never offered for me to bring back this one and theyll make me a new one. What a waste of money
Always a good experience ordering Granny s
Historically, Ive never had a taste for Indian food. Its just not my thing. That being said, their butter chicken is absolutely spectacular. The portions are also very impressive. Make a point to order from here, you will not be disappointed.
Excellent food awesome value for the money. Need one in Nanaimo
I love the crispy crunch burger, its my fave. I like alot of the food here. I use to order Grannys weekly sometimes more because I like it so much but now its a once in a blue moon type of thing because its way to expensive..its disappointing, especially because it used to have amazing prices. Its a shame because if it wasnt so expensive I would order alot more. But when I do order now the food is still usually very good. I really miss the 5 finger discount when it was actually a steal..it is literally $10 more then it used to be.. $5.95 to 15.95. Thats definitely a steal but not in the good way it used to be.
This is my go to restaurant in Port Alberni. The deluxe burger is my go to. I also get a bucket of chicken every now and than. They have good fries and gravey, but better onion rings.
Mmmmm
First of all, wasn t greeted at all, the woman was standing in the front just looking at me. Chicken is soggy, oily and dry and the mexi fries supreme are also soggy, oily and has such little beef it s laughable. Gave it a try but no thanks.
Outrageous price for the worst chicken ever! Cold dried out and the skin was rubbery not crispy at all.
Had a large Supreme...pizza was fantastic...might be best pizza I have had in many many years. Execution and timing a little rough...worth the wait though!
Lots of choices and are open late.
Respectfully Mid, but open late
Pizza and chicken is delicious. Pretty quick with the delivery as well! Thick crust of the pizza!
Brother David sez best on island until I delivered from my daughters Mambo pizza in nanaimo fresh frozen so a fair comparison as he buys yours freezes then eats after a toaster warmup. Gotta try Mambos too before claiming whos best. Btw mychosen pizza and others in victoria suck bronze including Romeos
I find it hit and miss. It is good sometimes, not so good other times.
I ve had huge amounts of dirt in my salads two times now. Cant eat it without chipping my teeth on tiny sand like rocks. Disgusting .
The food is pretty deadly.. Large portions. Made with quality ingredients. Definitely would eat again. service was good.
Updated Review. Pub grub style food used to have massive portions, but that changed recently. Their fried chicken is decent, and their wraps are absolutely massive... well.. they USED to be but now theyre pretty average, so I unfortunately, had to dock off 2 stars. Also I think the price of the wrap went up from 12.99 to 14.99 and got smaller which isnt cool. The fries are still large portions, but their poutine is really lacking and Im not the biggest fan of the gravy. Burgers are reasonably priced still, and the portion of fries and salad you get with the burger is quite large, especially if you order the Caesar salad. Feels like I definitely get my moneys worth out of it and always have leftovers. I have noticed the quality of the food isnt the highest for some things on the menu, but its not a big deal if you order something you know you will like. Open very late too, which is nice to see because most things here close quite early.
I had heard about this place from a few people and I can certainly say it didnt disappoint. A vast menu of awesomeness, huge portions and huge flavor. Cant wait to go back and try something else on the menu.
Robyn Shaw is a scammer; using her kids she doesn t even have custody of to beg for money for orange shirts. She lied to her boyfriend and told him she sent back the 100$ she scammed and only sent back 60$
Wait more than 1hour for a medium pizza ... But it was good
If you want fried chicken this is the place. I cant speak about other menu options but the chicken is pretty solid. Open late. Good gravy
Awesome fish! Had 3 pc with mashed potatoes and macaroni salad. 3 wedges of lemon included.Tarter. Was so tasty.
Very good selection of food and large portions
Ive been craving pasta and feeling guilty about going for carbs but I knew it was better than eating deserts. Their pasta portion was generous, had loads of beef sauce, a thick cheese layer on top that made me think it was lasagna at first. Wow. I feel like they just saved my soul. I was eating memories of moms pasta casserole. Delicious and nourishing! I dont feel guilty!
The quality and portions used to be so great, not any more. The last two times I ordered pizzas the dough was raw. The first time I picked up the order myself, when we went to eat it I figured just let it go thinking they were just training a new cook. But this second time I was quite unhappy so I decided the next day to call the manager and get a refund. I was told I could get a credit (I dont want a credit I want my money back) then I was told that I waited too long and a different manager had been on shift, the current manager didnt know where to find the receipt. I said no problem I have one stapled to the box of pizza that you can take back and I also have the payment printout with date and time because I used my card. More stonewalling from the manager as I was told nothing could be done for a couple of days because I didnt phone and complain right away. No problem, Im going to go get my money back, share my experience with anyone who will listen and take my business elsewhere.
They have the best, and I mean the best food around! Their pizza is always fully loaded! Their crunch burger is amazing, better then any other burger I have had. Also try their chicken wings, honey and garlic all day everyday! Do not miss this place, worth every penny!
Butter chicken here is amazeballs send it naan bread
Amazing thick yummy pizza
The best food dollar for dollar. Huge portions, huge menu, huge flavor. Dont miss this awesome little spot if youre in Port Alberni
Love all the options
An interesting experience.
Wait was long (1/2 hour) the chicken and fries were very tasty but not crispy. Pizza looked good but we didnt try it
Never disappointed.
French fries are disgusting. Big, thick, not crunchy. More akin to a boiled potato with oil. Fries chicken was good, only reason didnt get two stars
Monstrous portions, very few places that it feels like theres a brick in the pizza box! An Alberni classic.
Love the pizza, heavy and good
Excellent service and delicious food! We ordered for delivery. The lady on the phone was excellent and read us out our order to confirm everything. The delivery driver (Shawn or Sheldon?) was super friendly and recognized our Newfie accents right away. He was awesome
Great selection of food, always delicious
Unkind service, screws up orders consistently, greasey. Im giving it a 2 because the samosas are excellent. Everything else....meh
Burgers, fries, salads and gravy (chicken krunch and macho burger) were super good! Prices really good too especially for the size of portion you get (HUGE!!). Staff was very friendly! All in all, the 20 minute drive is so worth it! The only problem we had was that I couldn t decide what to order.....everything looked so good! There s always next time.....
This place never lets me down. The fries arent crunchy but they taste amazing, same with the chicken. And although the pizza is pretty thick its still really good.
Great food
well just ordered chicken from grannys a two piece and I finally get like hour or more later the chicken is burned the potatoe salad is sour toatlly un eatble. Ordered for delivery they didnt get order right then took forever to get the other meal then expected us to pay for their mistake and food was cold and fries looked like it was from bottom never go there again
I order fish and chips from Grannys all the time.This time I askedFor home fries instead of french fries.I got French fries.Also,The size of each piece of fish is only half as big as it used to be. I order from Grannys because Im impressed with their foodBut tonight Im disappointed.This wont fill me upAnd it is usually too much
Love this place but would be nice if they could make more chicken at end of night. I called 2 hours before close and was told there was chicken, on call back was informed there is none. I understand we dont want extras close to close but with 2 hours remaining it just feels sloppy, especially with chicken in the name...
Always
The pizza is some good eating. If you like cheese youll love this pizza.
Good food
The butter chicken was very good, lots of fixings and a good sized portion?
Okay not as good as,it was b4
Real good fried chicken and generous portions.
Always Worth it
I love it definitely my first choice to eat here. The staff and crew down there know what they are doing and go out of there way to make customers happy if needed I cant think about anything to complain about lol. Thanks everyone for the great service I have no problems where to go when my friends and family come to town an wanna eat good
Awesome food best pizza on the island
The server was hilarious, I have never had such an enjoyable breakfast experience. This place is wonderful.
We are impressed! Ordered from Grannys for the first time; person taking our order was courteous, delivered in time specified, and the chicken, fries, onion rings, etc., were all delicious! Will definitely order again!
A place to visit! What a selection!
Grannys chicken is the BEST! I havent been since I moved in 2010, but the first place Im going once I am back on the island is Grannys chicken! The fact theyve been a community staple for so many years is amazing, the fact theyre open late is perfect. If you want a spot to have amazing chicken and see port Alberni for the diversity at 1am chicken runs. Go and have some Grannys chicken!
Pepperoni pizza with thin crust. Is my all time favorite.
Best pizza ever
They have AWESOME food
Great pizza!
Well Ill start off by saying its priced reasonable, the portion was huge but my meal wasnt good one bit....incredibly soggy chicken not sure how you call that fried because there was nothing fried about it...the fries were super soggy aswell. The gravy was nasty and super salty then as Im half way through my macaroni salad I get a nice 3 inch long hair in my mouth from it. After working 12 hours at the mill incredibly hungry I leave this job and port albernie with one good memorie I will never eat grannys chicken again
So tasty! Ordered a full butter chicken meal for myself, half order for my child. We both have enough leftovers for breakfast AND lunch today. Plus, it was absolutely scrumptious. Flavorful & with a bit of kick, unlike the incredibly mild versions Ive had elsewhere. Partner went with chicken & bones combo & loved every bite. Couldnt finish fries or salad cause main dish was so generously portioned. The fries & salad with a couple fried eggs added made a great breakfast. Would recommend Grannys & will be returning in the future!
Came all the way from Chilliwack for the butter chicken. I had it once years ago and every other restaurant I ve tried doesn t compare at all. Best butter chicken ever!
Great food, nice and hot. Friendly service
FREE DELIVERY??? -> Now they charge $4.00 OPEN UNTIL 4AM??? Called at 2am on a Thursday Night and was told they were closed. Food is cold most of the time. Chicken and fries are good if you stick them in your own oven and cook it more. Really, this is garbage food. It is pub food, but if there busy, it is cold. Stay away.
Chicken was delish Tried Supreme pizza today.. 5 Stars..
Nothing special the pizza is good
Hands down best pizza and tastiest chicken ever!!!
I had a 2 piece chicken, and my wife had a half order of the butter chicken after asking the lady at the till if it was good. She was very delighted whit what she ordered. Thanks for the wonderful meal.
Wings were good and the pizza looked good. Had a weird trying to order it though, the owner wanted to count a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza with 3 toppings on each side as a 6 topping pizza and couldnt be dissuaded, so I didnt order.
My favorite place for pizza . The best pizza in town hands down !!!
The selection is ridiculous, the food is incredible and the fact they are open so late is a blessing. My wife loves their butter chicken, I love their pizza but there is soooo much more!!
Called to order delivery. Girl on the phone is not pleasant. Waited almost an hour for them to get a hold of me just to confirm my total before processing order when they could have just confirmed the order/total when I first called like a normal restaurant. Now I have to wait another hour for food when I thought I had already ordered. Stupid process and the girl on the phone has bad customer service. Obviously not a happy employee. Will not be ordering again.
Not sure why the ratings for this place are so high. Very mediocre ingredients, long waits, and no heat in the building for some reason.
Great pizza wish we had on in Parksville
Excellent food in a clean , well lit place. A local gem.
Food and service is horrible. Paid $14 for a scallop dinner. We got dry coleslaw, a big mound of bland fries without ketchup in the bag as well as no cutlery and the scallops that where most likely pre frozen. Your not getting what you see on the menu board that says the seafood dinners include a piece of fish. Not going back for expensive fries M8.
The food and pricing is great
Love Grannys! Pizza is loaded with toppings and super filling for a great price! Had their hot wings tonight and they were fantastic. Highly Recommend giving Grannys a try!
In many years, never have I been disappointed with the food or service. Absolutely delish Fast food, great prices and friendly staff. Order there and you will not be disappointed. Plus, these local owners are very caring, community minded and community supporters. Lets all continue to support them.
Greatness with in my ninjas. We eat at grannys.
Best chicken in town
Massive portions. They boast the heaviest pizzas on the planet and I ve yet to find more value and flavour for my pizza-loving money. Mama s crispy chicken sandwich comes with fries, salad and gravy. Come hungry.
Always great food and service. A must go.
This is the best vegan pizza I have ever had. My cousins had the Hawaiian supreme and a Greek Garden also outstanding! The crust was amazing and the soy cheese was on point it was super hot and had heeps of toppings!
Seriously good pizza! Visiting Port Alberni this week, we are from Victoria, and we havent had this good of pizza in a long time. Highly recommend from a family of pizza nuts!
Love-Love-Love. As a Port alberni born and raised. I will always be coming back for the Mexi Fries SUPREME, or the Meat lovers pizza. Never mind the fried chicken... loveeee! please franchise in Victora! (we would love you guys in Langford!) I come from Vic to get a bite.. ALWAYS worth the trip the time waiting to get food has always been worth it (The portions are worth the money, not that its expensive. You honestly dont remember the price when you take the first bite/fillling compared to Vic city portions) PS: The service is always friendly to the point and helpful:)
Yummmmmmm!
I have been ordering from Granny`s Chicken for years, I didn`t think it was possible but hell... they get better and better. Ohhhh how I love their onion rings, their chicken is out of this world. I find the staff outstanding, extremely polite and on occasion.. you find that certain staff member whose answering the phones with an awesome sense of humor. I know for a fact that the manager is an extremely patient and understanding man. Thank you Granny`s Chicken..
Have ordered from Grannys many times never had a bad experience. But last night my husband and I ordered a 20 piece bucket and only recieved 16 pieces. Was very disappointed, will try one more time as everyone deserves a chance, hope I will not be disappointed next time.
Seriously this is a home town place! A staple in the community with a heart!! Always good service! Great food!
Everyone in port Alberni recommends this place but in all honesty its not very good service was good but the food was mediocre at best
Excellent food and on weekend its open late until 4am
The absolute BEST take out beef tacos!! The pizza... Meh. I suppose it depends what you like in a pizza. I ordered a thin crust. I guess it was my mistake to assume that because it was a thin crust they would put less toppings on it. Wrong. Theres so much toppings on it that my crust is raw dough. The 20 lb of cheese is nice and brown but what part of thin crust says I want 20 lb of cheese? There are about 7 pieces of pineapple on my Hawiian. I would have let you keep all of that cheese if you would have just given me a little bit more pineapple.
Top notch
Best deal on pizza and chicken Ive ever had
Just ate here yesterday and the food is amazing, outdoes QFs and KFC, portions are out of this world, I will definitely go back
Chicken and Pizza are very good.. we love the taste.. I think they open until 4 am. Which is very convenient.. Definitely worth it..
Amazing food choice not just chicken, amazing hours open hrs
Number one pizza
Best chicken and pizza in town.
Terrible service ! Waited for 55 minutes when she it would be ready on 7 minutes . I dont recommended
Big heavy pizzas,really good chicken and ribs.Ive been eating their for years.All around good service.They even have seafood, and thats not bad also.Making myself hungry thinking about it.
This is a great place to have a good meal
The food was fast and delish
Just okay okay
Stumbled in by chance, good food, mega portions, stylish menu.
I cant believe the amazing pizza they have there. One slice almost filled me up. So many toppings so delicious.
Great food! The staff were prompt and the food was served very quickly. When a burgers double patty, they mean Double Patty
Great place for takeout or eat in
grannies is a good place to eat the food is cooked very well Andi have eaten there for yrs and never had any problems
OMG THE BEST pizza in the world!!!
Worst Ribs Ive ever eaten, Saltiest chicken sandwich that was over powered by mayo, and soaking wet lasagna you could almost call soup....I wouldnt even give it a star if there was an option.
Great food
Dispite their website needed to be updated this is almost our 1st choice for the nights you dont want to cook. Very good variety of dishes there is something for everyone.
I had a deluxe burger + it was soooo good! Love that you can taste it was cooked on the grill! Absolutely love, love their generous helping of fresh cut fries. Their gravy is amazingly addictive!! Would definitely recommend this place to eat. Their only downfall tonight is that it was cold eating inside.
10/10
