This afternoon we were enjoying an amazing meal at Marzanos when we were told that if we really liked the Marzanos burger, then we would absolutely love the burger at Torchlight. As soon as we finished, off we went. Upon entering we noticed the place was medium full or so and people were eating and/or drinking. As we sat down the table was gross, covered in other peoples food and the place was just dirty overall.
As we had been recommended we immediately ordered the burger along with the tater tots. The food didn't take much time to be brought out to us but during that time we had a chance to see one of the cooks walking in and out of the kitchen delivering food to people etc... unfortunately rather than be dressed in a presentable and professional manner like we had just seen at Marzanos, he was wearing a sleeveless shirt that was dirty and his entire appearance was overall incredibly off-putting. We shook that off and tried the burger with open minds and the result is that Torchlight makes the very worst burger I have ever eaten. Poor quality meats, soggy and sloppy bun and poor flavour combinations. Seriously A&W makes a more delicious burger. The overall level of cleanliness and hygiene, or rather lack of cleanliness and hygiene, on full display was very off-putting. We definitely did NOT finish the burger nor the burnt frozen tater tots that were cooked in very old oil.
This place has no business serving food whatsoever, especially with so many good and clean restaurants in Nelson. Thanks for the endless disgusting burps!
Gross.

I visited Torchlight as part of a local entrepreneurial meet up. I hadn’t had the chance to eat at Torchlight before so we also part took in burger month (bravo! Super tasty) and paired it with a fun (self selected) flight.
Service was friendly and fast - esp awesome considering our group was 25-ish folks all moving about.
Great value, tasty beers, yummy food and a great back drop to this little meet up. Will visit again.

Beer was ok. Slow service when not busy always a bummer.

What a great place! So many craft brews to choose from and the Floyd Pepper Burger was probably the best burger I have had in ages. I asked for crispy bacon…and got crispy bacon! Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone!
James Baxter

Go for the beer and friendly service... but the food is an afterthought that I could have done without.
Rick Ogloff
Great beer and atmosphere

Good selection, good vibe. Jazz music on Friday, fun experience
Great cold IPA, and bonus points for playing American Football on the stereo. Friendly and fun staff. Highly recommended!
