Reviews for Driftwood Restaurant Campbell river in Campbell River, BC

I?ve been ordering take out here off and on for 5 years now. Always very delicious and fresh. Thank you for being here.

Lots of parking. Easy access to the restaurant. Staff were really nice! Service was great! We had the buffet, all you can eat... dinner. The food was ok, no complaints, it just wasn't outstanding. Flavour of the food was just ok. We didn't have a favoritedish. Many good options at the buffet. Beef, chicken, shrimp and vege dishes were all good. Food was fresh and frequentlyrestocked. Unfortunately because the flavour wasn't there for us we won't be returning. Read more

Food was delicious! Baked oysters and prawns three ways. Could use a good cleaning and some repairs though, especially... exterior and windows. Read more

Even the Jell-O was bland? Seriously. It tastes like the water that came out of the tap... ... ...Two days ago. The food isn't... terribly bad, but it is bland. Won Tons were water-logged. Chow mein had little to no flavor etc... The buffet is pretty smalltoo. They have the "staple" foods for the most part, but they have a whole steam table turned off and empty. But it is aWednesday, so maybe they put out more food on the weekends, IDK? But for $30, I would expect more variety and to actually usespices. Service was just fine. Pleasant servers with a smile. Clearing plates regularly and such. No complaints there. Oh andfor the love of Christn please turn off that country radio station. Read more

Good food, but restaurant needs some cleaning up. Dining room carpet is torn and not clean. Exterior is looking rundown. There... was a sign on the kitchen door asking patrons to stand clear of the door, which is fine, but the added line written in blackfelt "unless you like being hit by the door" kind of sets a bad tone.

Excellent food, big servings. Fast service. We each ordered a combo for one. You have a choice of chow mein or rice. We added 1... extra item each. The servings were enough for both of us plus we have enough left overs for tomorrow nite. Prices are veryreasonable. And the taste is very good. Two combos for one with an extra item plus 2 cokes came to under $40... Read more

Recommendation: Reservation is the best way to go! It does get busy, especially with the Pandemic they've set up boundaries and... which way to walk like most shopping stores! But before you go to the Buffet! Please, I repeat "Please"; wash your hands & usethe sanitizer provided! They've got lots of different choices to eat from! Garlic Shrimp, Wonton Soup, even Chicken Balls; justto name a few! They've got regular to spicy food! Wait staff are fine, but could be a little more courtious! And ask customerhow their meal is or fill water glass more without having to wait for customer to ask for it Read more

Just had the lunch buffet. Service was great. The waitress was fun, a super busy lady running around serving the entire... restaurant. The cashier lady was never at the till, and twice I saw people wait far too long for her to return. The food was OK.What was left of the buffet was crispy leftovers that should have been thrown out. A customer had to harrange the waitress tohave them bring out actual food, which is sad. MAYBE half of the dishes were actually out for customers to eat, and of those,half of those dishes were seriously old and inedible. I had this place recommended by a local, but would not recommend it toanyone. There is a chance that their menu items fare better. Perhaps they just try to rip people off for their lunch buffet.Unfortunately I'll never find out. The plate I'm posting is their edible food. Read more
