Jo Klassen's - Courtenay

I want to give a huge shoutout to the wonderful staff at this restaurant. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Plus, the menu offers several options that fit perfectly within my dietary restrictions. I truly appreciate everyone who works here. Thank you for making my experience so enjoyable!

I had been wanting to try this place for a while, and when we first walked in, it didn't look like much. However, the restaurant was exceptionally clean, the service was outstanding, and the food was homemade and delicious. We've ordered their bacon cheddar burger twice, and we travel about 50 km just to enjoy one. It's definitely worth the trip!

Stopped in for lunch. Not sure if it was the type of fish I chose this time but I've had better experiences with take out food from this place before. No seasoning on the fish or chips (guess it's to allow you to add your own of which a variety of salt,pepper, vinegar and ketchup is provided). Excellent popcorn shrimp.

Despite placing my order in advance, I couldn't understand why it wasn't prepared on time. The fish, chips, and coleslaw were excellent, but the calamari was disappointing. However, I've returned since then and had no issues at all.

We visited for lunch and were so glad we did. Our server was incredibly friendly and even knew about the English dish, suggesting we try the mushy peas, which were served with mint sauce. It was the only place where he had seen it served this way during his time in Canada. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came in generous portions. We'll definitely be back!
