The Crown Anchor Pub - Qualicum Bay

There were 6 of us there for a Crafting Night event and it was also wing Wednesday. In addition to ordering wings, I ordered 2 orders of onion rings to share with the friends at the table. The service in an almost empty establishment took 75 minutes. We got served one person at a time even though 3 people had the same flavour of wings. The onion rings came last after all the wings. When 2 very small black plastic baskets were served I thought she’d made a mistake and split one order into 2 (the size of an A&W order each) containing about 5-6 onion rigs. The server was not reachable but the owner came over and when I said I ordered 2 orders at $11.99 they said this was 2 orders. I was shocked but she said she’d give us a couple more rings. Seriously!! When she brought 5 more onion rings I questioned the quantity. She said she can take them away if I don’t want them. She then proceeded to literally THROW them into the basket and started berating me for complaining about prices and what things cost and that she paid $10 for 3 onions at the grocery store. The experience was unpleasant and the behaviour of the owner was shocking. We will not be returning. Price per person: $30–40 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

Been coming here for years.management has changed and there is always something going on. Tonite is the Jagsters and I'm eating the best wings ever. Don't know their secret but they are spot on. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

I ordered a chicken burger and was presented with 3 chicken fingers in a bun. Not really what I was looking for nor what was advertised. The fries were decent. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

The food was excellent and great pub style atmosphere. Beautifully decorated with seaside/ marine decor. Spot set up for live bands. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chicken Club Burger

We tried to buy off sales because they advertised it. They were open but the doors were locked. There was only one waitress and she didn't have time to unlock the doors and sell off sales even though there were people in the restaurant on a Friday on a long weekend which was odd. We waited for about 15 minutes, then left as did some other people who were also there to buy alcohol. They are missing out on lots of revenue! Service: 1
