What User likes about Royal Roads Cafe:
From the exterior the Royal Roads cafe looks like any other roadside diner. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and the service once inside.This family run business makes a very tasty soup from scratch and uses real turkey as opposed to deli turkey in their sandwiches.We had 6 people in our party and all were very pleased with their lunch.Very friendly and prompt service.

Small and cozy! The foods is above expectation. Highly recommend to try royal BBQ ribs, steak and kidney pie!

The former Royal Roads Café, now known as Hardy's, has received poor reviews for its service, limited menu, and confusing atmosphere. Customers have experienced dissatisfaction with the food and service, prompting them to seek alternative dining options. However, Royal Roads Café continues to shine as a hidden gem off Sooke Rd, offering a huge menu with delicious options such as Cajun Chicken Fettuccini. With friendly staff and excellent dishes like fish and chips, steak and kidney pie, and burgers, this family-run restaurant remains a reliable choice for quality meals at great prices in a welcoming atmosphere.

The bacon seemed to be deep-fried, that's a big no in my husband's book. Service was very fast and friendly.

We were looking for a nice place for a cheap meal. We almost didn't stop because it doesn't look like it was open, but a closer look showed us that it was. It's...
