I just finished the most amazing meal here. Salmon BLT burger with maple dijon glaze, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar, and garlic mayo (I ordered without a bun). My side was Asiago, Zucchini, and Roasted corn soup. It was so good I could honestly come back and eat it again later today. Fresh tasty food, and fast friendly service. Plus a beautiful view of the bay. Highly recommend.
Honestly this place is amazing ! My friends and I came here after a long day of hiking up island and we were blown away about the quality of their food and the customer service. Would absolutley recommend this place to anyone ! Plus the view is wonderful �
Great place to visit.
Good is great, the view is amazing, and a great selection of good beer.
The ribs are good, and the salad looked great too.
The view in itself was worth it but our service was amazing as well. Good service is extremely hard to find, so you add a great view and awesome food it was worth the visit.
Yummy! The service is decent, the food is delicious, but that view is what gets me to eat here. Can't really complain about the view from this place, the food is a bonus.
Love the stickleback. Consistently great food, wonderful service and delicious Caesars. Winter weeknights can be quiet and great for a date night with good conversation.
A+.for effort. Great oceanfront location with big outdoor patio. Service was really friendly and accommodating. We went during a very busy night though so It took quite a while to get our order served...about 30 minutes. When the food did finally arrive it tasted a bit plain to be honest, nothing special. Would have expected better quality. It's too bad because the location, friendly staff are all there, just needs a different chef perhaps. Overall good effort.
Really great experience!. My girlfriend had a Mango and Pulled Pork Taco Salad, which she really enjoyed. I ordered the Texan burger, which was a nicely sized burger with pulled pork and onion rings on top, and it was amazing. We had a nice seat on the patio, and got great service. Nice selection of beers on tap, and everything was quite reasonably priced. Definitely one of the better meals of our visit.
Perfect place for a burger after a long bike ride on the Galloping Goose trail, swimmimg at the potholes or Ziplining. Family friendly. Great Burgers. Our server was fantastic. We were sad we were only able to eat here once during our trip.
The stickleback west coast eatery in sooke bc is fantastic. Their waterfront patio is stunning and a lovely place to enjoy a summer meal. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the chefs make a special effort to make many menu items available gluten friendly (they even offer gluten free bread options). With generous portions and reasonable prices the stickleback is a great choice for a tasty night out.
Fantastic. Ambiance, view, service, and yes, the food was excellent and inventive
with so many choices, when missing even one of these qualities, i will find another eatery in which to spend my time and money
the bonus to all of this - the prices were very reasonable
i was dining on their exquisite patio and it got a little cooler as the evening progressed - they offered a blanket even before i had to ask
i for one, will always make this restaurant a priority when visiting sooke again
ps. they also have an inventive drink list and use freshly grown ingredients in their meals
Found this place after biking 40 k on the goose. Food was unreal, patio was money and waitress was really helpful. Definitely will be coming back!
Stickleback Oceanfront Cider & Taphouse is an exceptional spot, especially after a long cycle from Victoria on the Goose. This place is not just a restaurant; it's an experience, with stellar views that are as memorable as the food is delicious. In my opinion, it stands out as one of the best, if not the very best restaurant in the Sooke area. It's my preferred stop and turnaround point on bike rides out this way. They've thoughtfully included spots to park your bike, making it incredibly convenient for cyclists. On a beautiful summer day, the picturesque scenery with mountain views is simply unbeatable. A perfect blend of great food, breathtaking views, and cyclist-friendly amenities. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a scenic and satisfying dining experience.
On a beautiful autumn day we started our ride of the Galloping Goose with lunch here. Great food, Great Service and an awesome view.
Cozy restaurant with nice oceanfront view. There was a long wait but it was worth wait. 3 of us shared a cup of claim chowder (very tiny), chicken wings, pulled pork bowl and fish & chips. Chicken wings were very dry. Fish & chips were crispy and surprisingly tasty.
The day we went, the patio and inside was plagued with wasps. Owners should not subject servers , let alone guests to this. You can buy wasp bags to hang outside and trap them. The waitress was sweet, the food came quickly. We did a quick dine in, where it was sweltering hot, then took a doggie bag. The reason we chose this cafe was for its gluten free options and French fries were on the menu as being gluten free, but to be gluten free, they must be cooked in a gluten free environment, thus, it’s own fryer, to avoid cross contamination. Thus do not put them on the menu advertised as gluten free.
The gluten free noodle dish was spicy but yummy, my friend said. My crispy prawn wrap with veggies was delicious. A prominent sign on the cafe as you approach it by car would be helpful.
Best brunch in a while - went there to catch up with some friends and the view is amazing.
We had dinner at the Stickleback restaurant our first night in Sooke. We were welcomed warmly and had a lovely conversation with Leah. Justin, the chef, is a magician. Tasty food. The fish'n'chips were exactly what we needed. And the dessert was rich and flavourful. We came back two days later for lunch - the seafood chowder. Highly recommended.
We're visiting East Sooke for the weekend and just had some takeout from here. The honey garlic chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious! If we didn't have our dog with us, I would definitely opt to dine in as the view of the water would add a wonderful atmosphere for date night. There is seating outside as well as a patio. Will keep here on the list for the next time we come around.
Incredibly gorgeous views from the dining room. I'd imagine even more fantastic in the Spring & Summer from three outdoor patio overlooking the ocean inlet. The food & service were amazing & I'd definitely return!
A hidden gem!
Lovely setting in tucked in behind Goodrich peninsula. There's a good-sized patio. The inside seemed a little smaller than I expected. The wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The seafood chowder was amazing!!
Be there a couple times now. What's for breakfast with friends which was amazing. Came back for burgers and lunch after a long walk on the goose. Not a fan of stickleback sauce it's like mustard with maybe dill? Great service, wonderful views, good prices, tasty food.
