Roy's Towne Pub - Courtenay

Stopped late Friday night on my way back from down Island looking for something tasty. Had the Steak and Shrimp with mashed potatoes and veggies. I am definitely going back with some friends. The food was awesome, the band was pretty good. It made me miss the good old days of hitting the pub for a night out. I will try to get photos next time. Highly recommend.

There where two of us dining. The server Jackie was a dream server, friendly and professional. Knowledgeable about the menu and keen to please. I had the Thai mussels. Plenty of flavor just a bit lacking in heat but you do get dried chili flakes if needed. The chocolate mouse tho very tasty but more like Betty Crocker's cake filling with cream on. Still tasty but don't expect mousse. All in all simple pub food executed well. We'll be back!

We were visiting the area and had dinner reservations elsewhere. We drove by earlier in the day, the lot was packed and a quick Google search of their website showed a really interesting place. We cancelled the other reservation and threw caution to the wind as we couldn't get a reservation at Roy's but showed up at 6 to see if we could get in. The place was full, a duo was playing live music but there was going to be a short 20 minuteish wait. The wait time allowed us to watch plate upon plate of food go by, each dish looking even better than the last. The friendly staff worked hard to get us a table and after the short 20 min wait we were seated. A diverse crowd of all ages filled the place and everyone was having a great time. They had a tremendous selection of beers, great specials and a very complete menu. This review could go on and on, but suffice to say, great staff, great atmosphere and tremendous food. We will definately be back as soon as we can and will attempt a Sunday brunch next time because if we could have, we would have stayed an extra day just for that.

Great pub, plenty of options to sit inside or out. Varied menu and good selection of nice beers and wine. Friendly staff but very busy, so wait for food and drinks was a little longer than desired. Live music from a local duo was awesome, really added to a great pub atmosphere and didn't over power us with too loud music. Food quality and quantity was above what I expected. Might not be in the prettiest location or have a Seaview, but a cut above most pubs I've been too in BC. Keep it up. Cheers

We happened by this local pub on a Sunday morning and we’re absolutely delighted. Their brunch did not disappoint and their fish and chips was exactly what we were looking for. On top and amazing food and some of the friendliness service on the island they had live music that fit the atmosphere. Would defiantly recommend
