Haida Way Restaurant

Got the steak medium and eggs over easy…. Unfortunately the steak was burnt and VERY grisly, didn’t finish it. Dinner on the other hand… OMG all three dishes were tasty and amazing! Can’t tell you about the Pacific seafood chowder as it unfortunately never arrived at the table!

We haven't been to the Haida Way since the pandemic started. Used to come for breakfast regularly. I was somewhat dismayed by the reviews and worried that maybe it was not the same place with the same food we were used to. Went for breakfast this Saturday morning and am very pleased to say we had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is sparkling clean and the atmosphere is calm and peaceful. Waitress was friendly and competent. Food was as we remembered it, a little more expensive but that was to be expected. Scrambled eggs done perfectly, real hash browns, otherwise known as fried potatoes, 4 substantial slices of bacon for me, 4 really nice pork sausages that my husband enjoyed with gusto. Sourdough toast and coffee refills as needed. All-in-all a wonderful, relaxed Saturday morning, we will be back. Sorry, no pictures of the food this time, we ate it all. Next time I'll stop to take some pictures first.

Servers were friendly, food was just okay, wait for breakfast was longer than most breakfast places. They have an 'all day breakfast', which is a bonus for people who like breakfast any time of day. I ordered the waffle combo; was excited to try since I haven't had waffles in a while. To my dismay, the waffle wasn't crisp on the outside and my bacon was quite greasy. I have had breakfast here before, without any complaints, today was just 'off', must be a new cook. They have a very small Seniors menu, which didn't have anything that caught my eye for breakfast. Not sure if I would recommend this place if you are looking for a quick breakfast.

The curry, shrimp, and chicken rice are awesome! Portions are generous and delicious!! The waiters are enthusiastic, attentive, and thoughtful, making you very satisfied!

Finally stopped here after years of driving by. A great diner. Plenty of room. Very clean and tidy. Service is quite quick at busy times, given lowish staff numbers. Nice big affordable menu, that's very tasty. Certainly aim to stop again.

Went for dinner it's got a large menu and they had an item on there that was sweet and sour chicken served with rice and there was another one or it was something else served with chow mein so I got the sweet and sour chicken The chicken was great but I asked to be subbed for noodles on it and they gave me spaghetti noodles instead of chow mein noodles....

Worth the drive to Chemainus. Great family diner, has booth and table settings, lots of parking, large regular menu and large kids and seniors menu. The way it's set up truckers would also feel welcome Kid-friendliness: The booths have kid friendly material and different sizes Parking: Never counted the spots, about 10 - 20 for cars and a large area for trucks Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk ramp, wide doors etc.

Went for dinner here Wednesday evening Jan 25th. Myself and another person in our party ordered the Cheese, mushroom, bacon burgers with Onion rings instead of fries. When the orders came, they both had fries. Honest mistake which is fine. Rather than put our plates down and just bring out the rings, the waitress took them both back to the kitchen burgers and all. I had tried to ask her to just leave the plates off food and bring out the rings but she wouldn't because apparently they needed the fries back even when I then suggested that she bring out a seperate plate and we would transfer the fries onto it for her she wouldn't and both plates ended up back in the kitchen. Ridiculous to me that a patrons waiting longer for their food based on a staff member's mistake is how they handled this, that a restaurant would want to take two handle foods of fries back in the first place and that the waitress didn't seem to clue into how inappropriate and non customer service oriented this was. When the plates were finally brought back out after taking the wrongly inputted fries off them mine went back fully. Will not return to a sketchy place that would make it's patrons wait longer and eat cold food based on their mistake and hand full of fries. According to the others in my party the food wasn't great and most of it looked to have been prepacked frozen items one would buy at a grocery store and cook at home.

I didn't take a picture it looked so good I ate it. Lol . Had to go back good food Food: 4/5

I really loved this kitschy little diner. The food was great and the price is right. I have to say the curry is seriously delicious. I'll be coming back just for that. Quick in and out and the service was incredible. Thanks for the treat!
