The eating area is outside with covered benches, and easy access to condiments, napkins, and trash cans. I ordered the fried Cajun shrimp and fries. Two things about serving spicy-type fried foods: The food should have some level of spice that is at least reminiscent of Cajun spice; especially if you advertise it as Louisiana style. Also, completely cook the battered-dipped shrimp. On these two fronts, Unkel failed miserably. Nothing is more disturbing than bitting into an under cooked, poorly seasoned shrimp. The taste of the batter changed my appetite from yum to yuck, and the rubber texture of the shrimp was enough to make me recoil a bit. I am hoping the owner finds a way to improve the seasoning and develop a better gage for frying foods. I do it by what it looks like and when I saw the shrimp, I thought it looked a little light in color, indicating it might not be fully cooked. This is a deal breaker for me. However, when I am out that way again, I am willing to give it a second try. I'm just hoping he will read this review and adjust his approach to Cajun -style fried foods.

Review Visit: July 14th, 2015…read more Yes, it's called a Drive Inn. No, you can't park your car inside nor rent a room for the evening. Nakusp, BC. Our target destination after what seemed like endless hours of driving. Rolling up at 2am, we quickly headed inside and crashed hard. As soon as we were all awake, we needed some food to help refuel after that wild drive. Doing what I do best, I convinced everyone to head in to town to see what it offered. We hopped back in to the van and hit the town. Seeing as my cousin's wife was from here, she suggested a few places. The Hut was the one that sounded promising to all of us. The van was ushered in to a parking spot and we piled out with our empty bellies. Pouring over the menu, all of our mouths watered at the tasty-sounding goodies offered. I was heavily in to chicken sandwiches around this time so that is what I grabbed. I'm not sure what everyone else ordered but I do know the price was pretty consistent with other places like this. Since it was 5 people ordering food, plus the other customers there, the wait was a bit longer than I expected, but these places tend to make their food whenever it's ordered, so that's not always a bad thing. Once the food came out, we quickly headed to a table with an umbrella as we were roasting in the summer sun. Everyone immediately dived in to their food without hesitation. I had slight trepidation as I was in unfamiliar territory with different cultural viewpoints in how to make food and what toppings to put on it. As I sunk my teeth into that first bite, I knew there was nothing else to worry about. That chicken sandwich was full of big flavor. It may look unassuming in the photo below but I loved that thing and wanted another after finishing it. The menu for The Hut was rather large for the size of the town. The food options were a combination of what you can get at an Ice Cream Shack and a place like diner. Burgers, fish and chips, wraps, ice cream, shakes, breakfast, poutine, etc. There is surely something here that would interest most people. As for the building itself, it is in the shape of a triangle and looks to be a house as well? Or maybe previously a house? The peculiar design definitely catches your eye while driving down the road. Luckily after visiting it this one time, we hit up the Hut a few more times for food during our stay in Nakusp. While we did try other places, as you will see in coming blogs posts, none compared to my instant love for the chicken sandwich at The Hut. Years later, I still want another one.

What a great little place to stop by and have some great food!…read more This is a family run drive in that serves all the basic goodies, Hot Dogs, Burgers, Milkshakes, Fish & Chips and Fried Chicken!! Oh let me tell you about their Fried Chicken!! They are the honest home style fried chicken that is void of any gimmick or extra flavourings you would put on. The chicken are large pieces, I am sure they use local farm raised chicken as the meat has a firm texture and is very flavourful, I do not detect a lot of spices being used but they do have some in the batter ( by the way the batter is almost non-existent ) as the crust is very light and not overbearing. Anyways, this is one of the best Fried Chicken I had in a long time, and I had to find it here in Nakusp, BC!!

I really wanted to give this restaurant a good. review. The food was good and service was fine…read more When we went to pay for our dinner we asked for a to-go box for our leftovers and were told that the to-go boxes on the counter were for pick up orders only. I've never experienced that at a restaurant. We were told they could get us paper plates and tin foil instead. We asked for a bunch of plates and foil because you have to use so much more to package everything than to-go boxes. It seems like that might have been to save money but that seems incredibly stingy considering the prices of menu items were about 3x that of anywhere within 50 miles. That was slightly disappointing but bearable. What really got me was when the waiter that was helping us went and openly mocked my wife to the kitchen staff when she asked for a bag to carry all of our to-go plates. I've never experienced such a rude act at a restaurant by the staff and couldn't believe that's the way they conduct themselves as a business. Based on previous reviews and responses from the business it sounds like that a lack of hospitality is a trend here.
