Jv's Diner - Lake Cowichan

The quality has definitely gone down in the past year or so. They've downgraded the fries to what feel like the frozen ones you buy at the store, and the burger patties are quite a bit thinner. Portion sizes have also shrank considerably. I would have much preferred they keep the quality and quantity the same, and just increase the prices, instead of fighting to keep them lower. It's better to have expensive food instead of worse food. Still friendly service and good atmosphere as usual! (3.5 5)

Pretty decent dining establishment in Lake Cowichan. Ordered the pizza and although it was good I felt it was a bit on the pricey side. The retro decor is rather unique and definitely worth a visit.

Best milkshake I've ever had in my entire life. Would eat there again definitely recommend. A family run restaurant that feels a little like a pop museum you're allowed to eat and drink in. Super cool story just ask. Friendly and personable. Best part of our day.Kid friendliness: Arcade machines that brought out the kid in me.

The vibe of the place is nostalgic. We played old-school arcade games while we waited for our food. It's a retro diner with so much heart. You can tell the food is made with love and the people that work there love working there which truly makes a difference.The food and atmosphere was so good that I didn't even think about taking my phone out to take pictures.If you're passing through lake cowichan it's a must go for sure.

J&Vs is the best place for a milkshake, burger, or pizza in town. The food is delicious, staff are awesome, and the vibe of the diner is perfect.

Lots of engaging things to look at inside, and you can even sit outside in the historic locomotive during the summer.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to go into the building at the front entrance and space to maneuver inside the diner.
