The Hive Eatery

Amazing food! The sesame chicken strips and the butter chicken poutine were great, and the salad was outstanding. Cute area for the restaurant with a nice outdoor seating/waiting area on the side of the building. Highly recommended!

Last day in Victoria and found this little local and fresh spot! Read some of the reviews about how "it's not the same as it once was with new ownership", yatta yatta ...didn't let it phase me as I have never been here before so there's no way for comparison. The spot, in my opinion, does not equate for a bad review whatsoever! The food is fresh and local, as the people of BC adore and prefer...and as a fellow Canadian I prefer that as well. The service wasn't extremely fast or slow, which is perfect balance for little dives like this. I had the Conrflake Chicken Burger, and added that bacon as well. A nice portion of well cooked fries came with it for about $19.00 CAD, as to be expected these days. Tasty, juicy and nothing was dry, just very fresh from top to bottom! The only suggestion would be for the burger to have a little bit, just a little bit more sauce, yet it was still delicious. If one has not been here before, previous or new ownership, I highly recommend to come and give it a go. Not disappointing at all!

The new owners here are very nice! They just added a butter chicken poutine to their menu and it was INSANELY TASTY. And a very generous portion of chicken, cheese and sauce! We will definitely have it again!

This place is amazing! It has a small limited menu but with the flavour in the dishes, it doesn't need more than a few options! Super cute and delicious

The food was not good. The chicken strips were dry and stringy. Some of the fries were raw, as in uncooked potato. The fried fish was moist, but the batter tasted strongly of curry. The menu does not say curry flavored fish n chips, so they are not separating the items. The staff is friendly and maybe they will improve their cooking. The meal was not worth the money, so I do not plan to buy from them again. Yes, I did like the old Hive and this is very different. It is not just a matter of taste, they are not preparing the food properly. Raw fries.

Lamb burger was simple, fresh, and delicious. Good quality meat and not fatty. The fries were a generous portion and were cooked to perfection -- really good fries! Friendly service. Glad to see this place is still around. I'll certainly be back.

Live nearby and the Hive is a staple! Fresh ingredients, quick service, and amazing food. Just had the lambburger and it was the best burger I've ever had. Would recommend this place any day of the week.

Very tasty. I just love that pork burger. Less so the turkey one, and my partner loves the veggie one so it's not a trade off to go for dinner. And I generally neither order nor enjoy fries, and I gobble these ones down, and the words gobble and fries are just not words I use together. Good set up to make it through this tough time I hope. Well worth treating ourselves now and then to support them.

The pecan and brie salad is awesome! And we had the hive burgers too and they were delicious. We will be back!

The best lamb burger this side of anywhere. Damn! So amazing!! You can tell that all the ingredients were lovingly prepared. So good!!
