We had the whole place for a fundraiser with beer burgers and music bingo. It was fun and we made a good bunch of money for our cause.

Amazing local spot, great ambiance. Bahn Mi pork belly bites are above expectation, stellar burger patties - both gluten-free! Drink and eat specials that are unmatched in Victoria... Come for taco Tuesday, come back for many other menu items. You won't be let down. Tell uncle Terry we sent you!

The remodel looked great. Flat-screen TVs were placed strategically around the room. Was busy on a Sunday afternoon, but had lots of staff that were very friendly, so speed of service wasn't an issue. An issue with a seemingly-forgotten ordered item and an incorrect bill were handled promptly and professionally. The price on the menu of an item I ordered was less than what came out on the bill, so be sure to double-check your bill before paying. The website also still isn't updated with this location, although things seem to be largely the same as their Langford location menu-wise.

Go on taco Tuesday and wing Wednesday. Both are soooo delish. Would 100% recommend Asian Swiss wings with blue cheese sauce.

I visited this place several times. Usually there’s no need to wait. But their parking lot is kinda small. Love their beers and Shirley Temple! Service is super quick and friendly, and food is unique. I Recommend wings and potato skins.

This is a great restaurant in the Saanich neighbourhood. Taco specials on Tuesday and wing nights on Wednesday are such a great deal and delicious . I love the blue moon wings as they are so flavourful. They also have a burger and beer special which is so worth it . Service is great and the owner really takes time to talk to the customers . I would recommend but go early so you get a seat .
