1550 | Saanich | 1550 Cedar Hill X Rd

I'd gone past this place next to Saanich Rentals over & over & finally checked it out a few days ago. They have a pretty straightforward pub-style menu like sandwiches, burgers, etc but it was really good, and fairly cheap also. I liked my beef dip & the people I was with really liked what they got. check it out the only thing that seemed to be missing was a reuben. they had a beef dip, monte cristo, clubhouse, philly cheese, but no reuben. that seemed a bit strange. i bet their burgers are good though

been here several times ,service can be slow ,other times exellent..food varies as well generaly good to great..just never the same twice..but good enough to be going back ,never really had any bad food or service,, but then I drink coffee to excess..

By far the best wings in town! One of my fav places in Vic for sure.

It got a very good review in the Times Colonist in 2010. We like it and go there often, the portions are big, the price is reasonable and the menu is big. Pub-style restaurant the whole family can go to. Pretty popular as the only similar joints in Gordon Head are Maude Hunter's pub and Original Joe's restaurant. 

I got to know Keith (1550's owner/proprietor) when I worked next door at Coast Capital Savings' IT group - great guy, I still see him in the gym. Each Christmas season he'd give over one morning and let the CCS IT management team take over the kitchen and serve our staff a Christmas breakfast.

Like the wings. Had the worst burger I've ever had in town though when I was there a few months ago.

Has anyone been lately since Keith sold the business? He's opened up another foodie outlet in the VCC but I happened to drive by 1550's the other day and wondered if the quality was still decent (or not). The last time I was there it was really good but that was probably close to two years ago.
