You get a nice view of the wharf, the boats and seaplanes taking off. The food is amazing! I recommend the Beef Rib Eye Steak, a gluten-free entree which is a plus for those who are gluten intolerant.

I am not generally a burger lover, but I am a lover of Bin 4 Burger Lounge burgers…they are unique, delicious and the unusual combinations of ingredients make my mouth water. I really like the fact that I can have half-and-half-sides…fries and salad…the best of both worlds! The selection of flavoured dips is an added “nice touch.” There’s an extensive drinks menu too…wines, beers (including gluten free) cocktails and non-alcoholics. The staff here in Nanaimo are so welcoming and make our dinner experience the best it can be. There’s a knack to “hospitality…they all understand how to make a customer feel valued and appreciated. Thank you April…you’re a 5-star gem and Liza…you’re doing a great job. You all are…!

Best fried chicken I’ve had!!! So amazing and even better the original is gluten free. The service is fabulous. The first time I went I ordered a side of the daikon but they were out… the next time I went back(about 3 months later) she remembered and just brought me out a free side… I’m just sad I no longer live on the island

I got an ad for this place on Instagram for their nation wide $3.95 personal pizza special. Went in and got one with pineapple and cheddar. I have to say, it was absolutely delicious. However, they did skimp on the cheddar. I only saw a few little spots of cheddar. Regardless, this is my new pizza joint. They are priced well and have many different toppings, they also have gluten free and vegan options! I am never going back to Papa Johns, Dominoes, or Pizza Hut.

We had an exceptional dining experience, thanks largely to Lexus, who truly went above and beyond. When she heard that one of our party members had recently developed a gluten intolerance, she immediately offered thoughtful menu suggestions and even brought out peppermint tea, just in case it was needed. The food itself was phenomenal, the ambience was warm and inviting, and the prices were pleasantly surprising. Even when one of our friends received pickles on her burger after requesting none, Lexus graciously provided a generous discount to make it right. Her level of care and dedication was extraordinary—if six stars were possible, she would certainly earn them! ⭐️

Food was amazing!, Gluten free, vegetarian options galore! Naan was excellent, pakoras the best I have ever had, and I have been to India. The Paneer Makhani was delish, as was the Mango Paneer that my partner had. Highly recommend. Portions were a good size and the cost was reasonable.
