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!!

Food was very good. Had burgers, wraps, and ice cream. Staff was courteous and friendly.read more

Probably the yummiest onion rings and delish burgers that I've had in a while, served by a crew of…read morekind and hardworking young ladies. A truly pretty, colourful shack just off the main road with sprawling, stunning views of the mountains surrounding Nakusp. Limited outside seating on the spaced out picnic tables in the lawn upfront,a high table with bar stools, another small table with chairs, and some garden seats. Given the constant demand and never-ending stream of customers, it's better to call and order well before pulling in to their tiny adjacent parking lot. The attached restroom is clean, neat and bright, and I loved the poster in there which stated, "Be silly. Be fun. Be different. Be YOU , because LiFE is too short to be anything but HAPPY". We ended up visiting The Paddy Shack twice when passing through Nakusp during a weekend stay in Edgewood, and would eagerly head back for the "Onion Rings that rule them all" of "Lot of the Rings" fame!

When we got there, they were just offering the bites and drinks menu. The dinner menu is offered after 5 pm. We got the Polenta Fries and the Best of Bri Cauliflower.

She knew what she was doing and did it well. The special was prime rib. Couldn't ask for the cooking of the meat. It was all medium rare to medium and no other else. The Yorkshire pudding was huge, hard in places. I can only say I've had better everywhere. The chicken Cesar wrap was good.

I had the taco salad. That's the same that you would get at Taco Bell. Restaurant is nice but wow,…read morethe food is sub par. The fries might have been the best part.

I highly recommend if you are nearby or passing through the area. It is definitely worth a stop. We are vegetarian/vegan and they had lots of options.

What a magical place!…read more My friends and I stopped here on our way through New Denver for lunch and loved it! Here were some of my favourite things about this place. + Huge selection of sandwich specials! They had over 20 options which was pleasantly surprising for a small shop. + Build your own sandwich option, even with a ton of recommended combinations, they had a pretty big list of ingredients that you could mix and match to your own liking, at such a reasonable price. + The garden!! Highly recommend eating outside if there's space when you're there. Big serene family picnic vibes, perfect for a summer lunch! Such a quality place that really leans into the small town feel, was my favourite stop through our trip!
