Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
French Creek Pub is a local gem known for its "best fish and chips in Parksville." Diners rave about the "amazing service" and "great food," with standout dishes like cod tacos and halibut. While some find the atmosphere lively, others appreciate the quieter Monday nights. Reservations recommended, as it gets busy.

    Menue is very confusing, even the waiter agreed. Fish was good, but pretty greasy. Coleslaw was ok. Fries were horrible... it's Fish n Chips, all they had to do was hand cut some fries and deep fry them, these weird battered fries ruin the Fish n Chips experience. Rarely saw staff and no asked how the meal was. The place is pretty old, dark, depressing, and run down, feels like an 80's bar and maybe that's the vibe they want. Not my sort of place. I give it an "OK"

    Great food and fast service. Really busy so noisy but not so bad that you couldn’t hold a conversation. The cod tacos were killer! We will definitely be back!

    I booked a reservation well in advance. Our party was 6 people at 6pm. Our server was good, however we waited more than an hour for our meal after we ordered it and the communication wasn’t great. I had to locate our server at the 60 minute mark and ask if our meal was coming soon and their response was that there was a large party ahead of us, and our meal would be prepared after theirs. I wasn’t impressed because first of all I shouldn’t have had to locate the server to ask the question at the one hour mark and I feel like if there was a very large party ahead of us, we could’ve been advised and had our order in sooner. The food was excellent and everyone in our party said they would return again.
