The Oxy Pub — Restaurant in Nanaimo

DO NOT EAT HERE. We sat down and waited 2 HOURS for someone to come and ask us what we wanted. The HORRIBLE lady who yelled at us a few times didn’t want to take our order because someone in our group was vegan. So we said that we would just leave but she insisted on serving everyone but the vegan. We tried to leave but she YELLED at us to sit down. And to think that a waiter or the owner was intoxicated trying to yell at us and tell us what to do. There was about 5 other people in there, and this was around 5:30 pm prime dinner time. Absolutely horrible, do not recommend for anyone, I’m honestly surprised that this place is ran by such a horrible person. DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE BEING VERBALLY ASSAULTED BY SOME DRUNK WAITER. There is a perfect spot by the water that allows everyone and does not take 2 hours to take your order. GOOD...

Steak sandwich was tough and not juicy and not med rare like I asked, closer to med well. Fries were only 1/2 cooked and limp, whitish looking. Garlic toast was flat and soggy like a dish cloth and only toasted on one side, other side of toast was like wet bread. Cook came out standing beside waitress after I finished and was looking directly at me from across the room as he commented about my bushy eye browes. This was insulting to me after he made such a horrible dinner. I don't return food unless it is off tasting. The waitress gave good service and offered to return the dinner but i don't like to waste food. I ate the steak even though it was like chewing leather. I will not...

I came here for lunch a few weeks back, and I am still thinking about how terrible my meal was. I ordered the beef dip sandwich, and it was mostly inedible. In all seriousness I could not bite through the tough, leathery meat on this sandwich. The bread and the au jus were fine, but I can't get over the meat! The fries that came with my meal were also terrible, and sadly my girlfriend's meal was not much better. I really should have made a complaint while I was there but really couldn't have been bothered. I paid for our meals and left with no intention to come back after that.

I am sure it's a great place to come for a brew, but skip the lunch. Especially...
