Royal Oak

Came here from a co-worker’s recommendation who frequents this place quite often and I wasn’t disappointed. Place is huge with plenty of seating and friendly and attentive hostess who greeted us warmly and asked us where we wanted to sit. The place was about 70% full and had a mix of adults and family. Ordered the nights special, french onion soup– which was delicious and had plenty of melted cheese along with escargot topped with melted cheese, also good but maybe next time will just order the regular snails. Our waitress was outstanding-​everything she suggested was great and she took pleasure in serving us, always making sure we were looked after. For our main course we ordered the dinner special which had 1 chicken souvlaki, half order of calamari, rice, roast potatoes, greek salad and tzatziki with pita bread. Slightly disappointed with the calamari — found it a bit rubbery and not seasoned enough for my liking. Portions were huge so we had no room for dessert, but definitely plan to come back and try it!

Our first and last time to experience a disgusting meal. This is definitely not a steak and seafood restaurant. we were a party of 5 for a small birthday dinner, two ordered the sirloin steak dinner and with every bite they had to spit it out as the steak was very tough! the other two ordered some kind of seafood platter which was nothing but grease. The scallops were deep fried and as hard as a rock and the calamari was so tough and dried out that the whole dinner was inedible. I ordered the prime rib which has always been My favorite when dinning out.
I was served a piece of brown meat with some kind of brown sauce layered on top. This was definitely not prime rib. You are served takeout pads of butter for Your baked potato .I personally have never seen anything like this! All 5 plates were left uneaten. The person that We paid Our bill to became very defensive when We informed Her about the terrible dinner that We were served. There was no apology made. We left feeling ripped off and hungry and Our last stop was to the Dairy Queen for some ice cream.

Decided to try someplace new and non-​chain. Found Royaloak with Google. Food was awesome and reasonably priced. I didn’t know there were restaurants like this around anymore, I’ll be back and quite frankly I can’t wait. The Greek style ribs were to die for and souvlaki and hummus were outstanding.

Thursdays are Greek Night on the menu, so items like Moussaka and the Roast Lamb is a couple dollars cheaper. I have been saying for a long time now that their Roast Lamb is the best in the Lower Mainland and last night was no exception! To me it tastes like it did back in the ’80’s — good size portions, appropriately spiced, super tender — it was amazing! The service is always friendly and welcoming. We’ll be back next month on a Thursday for «the usual».

French fries here are the best I have eaten in 20 years
The roast lamb was good to
But the overpriced 30 dollar pizza is only worth 20 dollars max
not enough cheese on pizza either and way to big pieces of green pepper and way to much of it.
I love pizza but for 20 dollars u can eat a large at a gourmet pizza like Lombardos pizza on commercial drive. Or firewood pizza on cambie and 14^th

Where do I start… biggest issue besides being over priced for the quality was our experience with the owners daughter Andrea? This person has little decorum and had no filter on her comments, and was quite rude, I’m sure she thinks she’s funny… she is not. We were escorted to our table by Andrea, with me carrying the only menu that I was looking at by the front desk and the only one left in the restaurant which we had to share between 4 people, then 6-​Judy came minutes later (the only quick thing to happen) to take our order and was taken aback because we were not ready to order, and when I pointed out that half our party had not even seen the «special» menu as were not given one, and had to share the 1 menu between 4 people she went into that they are so busy… like it was our fault somehow.
The food was hit and miss but mostly miss… the calamari starter was cooked In oil that was not hot enough making them very greasy instead of crunchy, (the menu has the wrong price on the calamari and you will be charged a dollar more). The French onion soup was a disappointment… have not seen this on a menu since 1980 so was kinda excited to have it… in this case chunks of hard onion not undercooked just fibrous, not a lot of cheese, as described but enough. The Cesar salad that came with e prime rib was watery, no flavour at all, 2 people had the 9oz prime rib, which was ok but one plate clearly had a much larger portion than the other, both smothered in this unknown flavour of a gravy and the meat was quite unlike prime rib and more like a basic roast… comments by both people who ordered it was «disappointing» and all 4 of us tried it with the same conclusion, Meh x 3. The lasagne was cold in the middle and besides it being a generous portion size, it was nothing more than average defrosted? goop with cheese on top. One person wanted to order the scallops and our waitress (6 judy) said she would pick something else as they tasted funny and most people send them back… thanks for the tip, anyhow… really. The highlight was the roast lamb which was tender and flavourful, however it was highly salted, but I like that. I think Andrea took offence to me as she had to do an extra trip from the bar to our table at the far end of the restaurant to get a bottle of wine. We ordered the Pinot Grigio which our waitress (6 –Judy) asked if we wanted the red or white, when I asked if Pinot Grigio came in red she ran off… anyhow they have 2 Pinot grigios on the menu and of course not having the opportunity to tell our waitress which one we wanted Andrea brought the wrong one… only 2.00 difference in price (we wanted the more expensive one) but we like to try new things… the Hungarian Pinot was very nice and good value at $ 22.00
The service was very slow and indifferent from our waitress (6-​judy) whose only comments to us throughout the whole evening was how busy she was… no apologies for the long waits for everything esp the main courses, no smiles, like we were a huge inconvenience to her. The bill for 4 people, 2 starters, 4 mains and a bottle of wine…145.00 plus 15% (which she did not deserve). Have driven by this place for years and would suggest to others to keep on driving.

This is the best greek food in fleetwood, not that theres a lot of choice anyway.
I tried this place for the first time, got takeout chicken slouvaki and it was delicious. It could use a tiny bit more flavour but other than it was good. Its convenient so this will be my go to place for greek food now.
Its a little pricey but they have some pretty good combo deals.
The inside of the restaurant is really big, but never usually busy.

Prices are good, the steak was delicious! It seems that they have some good deals on the weekdays — we have yet to try!

Decent food, decent prices, friendly staff… what more do you want?
Oh, and they have pretty good take out/​delivery pizza too. A whole lot better then most of the pizza chains out there.

This is usually where we get takeout lasagna. It’s not the greatest lasagna but it’s not bad lasagna. It’s pretty decent for the price. The only real nitpick is of course the salad. I don’t find it too fresh. I

Never had a bad meal here. Very good value. When our reservation/​deposit for an annual event was not honored by another restaurant Royal Oak put together, on very short notice an excellent dinner and evening for my group. They made a real effort to make it work.
