Not great unfortunately. The place is charming and the patio is beautiful but the food is below average. We stopped on the way to Christina lake with our two children. The kids meals were awful, my son said “worst pizza he’s ever had.” It was pita bread with spaghetti sauce, a soggy mess unfortunately that we left mostly untouched. My husband ordered the chicken burger which he said was OK and I had the chipotle chicken caeser wrap which had way too much sauce on it. The server didn’t seem to care that the kids meal was untouched, we were never asked how the food was. So overall I loved the charm and the patio but was less than impressed with the service and food. Would not stop there again for food but maybe for a drink on the patio.
Unfortunately they do not care about their local community, close with no warning until people walk up to the door without so much as a social media post, will shut down early with little to no warning to patrons even during a horrific weather event because “it’s been a long day”. They will fire and ban staff, ban locals for petty reasons. Service has gone downhill along with cleanliness and food quality while raising prices. Drinks, especially draft beer, is often unpredictable on stock or changed frequently. As a local business myself I tried to support even after being screwed over myself but after repeated mid-service, mistreatment of very close friends I can no long bring myself to lighten their doors. We can only hope they see how much us locals were supporting them. Or they can enjoy their “hotel with a view” surviving only off tourists in the summer.

We always enjoy coming here. But tonight we tried their Shepherds pie. It was delicious and some of the best I have ever had. The flavours, thick gravy and veg and covered with creamy potatoes with melted cheese on top. And it came out piping hot with a piece of grilled thick cut bread to soak up the delicious gravy. Total comfort food but not a boring dish. And then we finished the meal with homemade pie and Salt Spring organic coffee. Their homemade pies are worth every penny. This is a special place with warm & kind people serving up great food. A must try. We’ll of course continue to eat there often.

Step back in time, enjoy homemade food in a totally relaxed atmosphere filled with historic memorabilia & the friendliest bartender! Huge juicy beef patties, fresh fries, blueberry hacksap pie! You must try this place!

We arrived late afternoon on a Sunday and found a table ourselves. Someone came by soon after to let us know they were understaffed that day and it would be a bit until someone could help us. It wasn't that long a wait and it's a lovely location anyway so we didn't mind. If you're in a hurray maybe try somewhere else but if you have a bit of time this is definitely work the stop. The riverside location is really nice.

We always stop here on our way through Rock Creek. It's such a cool old town pub. The service was awesome, and the food was great, too.
Too many bees this year!!! We couldn't sit outside. But still was a great time with welcoming people ? Highly recommend this spot on your journey in the Kootenays.!!!

Great place. Very friendly staff, and a great menu selection. Sauces and dressings are house made. I recommend the bang bang sauce! Delicious fries.
