First of all the staff is so helpful and accommodating. Food was fresh and hot. Fish in chips was amazing, so crispy and no grease. If your up here for quick visit don't forget to check this place out.

Six of us went for lunch today, and it was fantastic! I'd heard about Shannon's Kitchen but never had the chance to go, and I'm so glad we did. First, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is great. The food was so good. Fresh, hot, and wonderful flavours. I had the Southern Fried Pork Schnitzel topped with salsa and cheese. A combination I would never think of, but was it ever good! Someone else in our party had the Cajun Chicken, Bacon, and Egg Club and loved it. One of our kids had the Cheeseburger and said it was the best they'd ever had. Very original flavour combinations and all excellent. We will definitely be back. They do accept reservations, and it was busy, so I would recommend calling ahead.

Absolutely delightful from the food to the staff to Shannon herself and the beautiful energy she has created in this cozy spot! I had the Belgium beef rolls and Holy moly! What a treat. My lady had carrot ginger soup with GF toast which was also quite nice! Highly recommended and I’ll definitely be back for the famous curries and Benedict on weekend breakfasts. Thanks again!

We went to Shannon’s Kitchen for dinner this Canada Day long weekend. My friends come here very often but it’s the first time for me and my baby. The food is super delicious especially the breaded cheese. Garlic bread plus a piece of orange and some sauce from the plate plus the salad & cheese makes a flavourful bite! Every one of us love the cheese so much. Our babies also enjoyed their food a lot. Owners are so friendly and talkative. Pasta, ribs, fish & chips, and grill pork loin are all good. Definitely recommend this restaurant. While I’m writing this review in my mind I’m already think about when can I come to taste the delicious food again!

Shannon's kitchen is awesome! Anytime someone is visiting me from the city, I bring them here for a taste of small town joy. Shannon and Tommy instantly make you feel welcome with their Irish charm. Their menu constantly changes, but the favorites remain. The fried brie salad, fish & chips, and the schnitzel are among my favorites! Ask about the 3AM fries! Bring your friends, make new friends when you're here! Just make sure you don't miss out when you're in Victoria Harbour!
