What ViolentMoon doesn't like about Barnacle Barney's:
The food at this restaurant is mediocre. We have visited a few times and some of the waitresses are good, but one is not. If we see her working, we choose to dine elsewhere. Overall, the food is average and nothing special, so we usually opt for other dining options instead. View all feedback. What Gary C likes about Barnacle Barney's:
Barnacle Bailey's has the best Chinese food I've ever had! The service was excellent. The food didn't take too long to arrive. Prices were pretty good. Nice relaxing decor with comfortable booths and seats. Lots of natural light so not gloomy inside. View all feedback.

While some diners may find the food at this restaurant mediocre, others rave about the delicious Chinese dishes, particularly the wonton soup. Customers have mixed feelings about the size and taste of the dishes, with some praising the flavors while others find them bland. Despite these differences in opinion, one thing seems to be consistent - Barnacle Bailey's offers good Chinese food at reasonable prices with excellent service. The decor is pleasant and clean, with natural lighting that creates a relaxing atmosphere. Overall, while the food may not be exceptional for some, many enjoy the experience and plan to return for more.

Moved to Roberts & 1st ave in Ladysmith...hoping to open Oct 24th. Much nicer facility and I'm sure the Chinese food will be as good as it was in Chemainus.
