If you can't handle a burger and fries, you have no business serving food…read more My burger arrived with a bun that literally fell apart when I picked it up. While the server went to get a replacement, I found a long brown hair integrated with my fries (not on top, literally threaded in the fries). My partners pasta dinner was tasteless and not enough sauce was provided. It was supposed to be four-cheese pasta, but we could not find any filling in the ravioli. My biggest problem was with the owner, who we were told was on-site and was conversing with our server. When a customer has so many issues at one meal (bun, hair, overall food quality), the owner/manager should come out and deal with it. Sending your wait staff out to do your job for you out was very poor form. We also got the impression there was a bit of confusion on the restaurants end as to where the hair came from. My bald self and my red-headed girlfriend didn't quite know how to take that. We were polite and reasonable throughout the whole thing. I will end with a commendation to our server. She had a bad situation, and dealt with it in a friendly, albeit chagrined, manner. Good on her for that.

She never interrupted our meal, staggered our food so we weren't overwhelmed. The food was amazing. The bartender was a friend of ours and came over and said hello. It was nice seeing him. The service was great and it was the perfect way to spent our anniversary. The whole evening was a 5 out of 5. Thank you so much!

We were greeted at the door by a friendly waitress and shown to a seat. We had just gotten our drinks when the singer started up and he was still playing after we'd eaten and were on our way home. The interior was beautiful and brightly painted with fantastic murals. We both had delicious food and are stuffed. My fajita was flavorful and served in a hot skillet. My husband had a burrito bowl that disappeared pretty quickly. The flight of salsas and chips introduced us to 3 delightful salsas.

What a complete surprise! I go to Medicine Hat every summer to visit a friend ever since she…read moremarried a Canadian and moved to this area. Been to Elkwater before and it's nice to have this gem in the middle of the flat and desolate prairies. Anyway, we've mostly run out of things to do within an hour driving distance (there's a baby in tow) and I was a bit reluctant to go back to Elkwater again. She mentioned Camp Cookhouse and how the chef there won some award or was on TV or something. I'm like, "Yeah, sure," and just shrug my shoulders. So we get there and the menu is simple but full of good things. I get the short ribs, she gets a burger, and her mom gets soup. I'm still not really impressed at this point but the service was very friendly. Well, I get my short ribs, take a bite, and immediately I'm sold! The taste was just so succulent, amazing, and perfect! I have so many other words to describe it! Not one bone present and they were just full of meat and saucy goodness. Friend's burger was also amazing and very well crafted. This was the type of food would be expect to find in a big city, not a rural lakeside restaurant. Seriously, everyone...make your way here and enjoy the food! You will not be disappointed at all. If you are, message me and I want to hear all about it :)

Had the burger and fries one night, burger buns are made in house, and it was very tasty. Ribs the next night, tasty, but I wish they removed the silver skin off the ribs before smoking. Portion sizes are good, pricing is fair, local beers and wines/Mead's to wash it all down. I like everything they are doing here, you can't complain about much when everything is locally sourced and made in house, far too many restaurants don't do this type of thing and it's a shame.
