The whole village smells great- so many awesome food choices around, it was hard to pick one. We decided on this one as pictures on yelp had a lot of great meat plates. Happy with our choice. We had poutine with beef brisket, pulled pork sandwich and family meat platter for 2 - everything was amazing- fresh, juicy, flavorful. Place has unique decor, looks beet and clear, and, of course, smells amazing. Service was perfect- fast, sweet, attentive. Would recommend to anyone who loves good meat. Thank you. read more

First of all, I totally support their concept of sourcing the produce locally and providing a casual dining experience that doesn't compromise on quality. However, we were a little bit disappointed by the food. Together, our party shared a large platter that includes chicken, briskets, pork ribs, and pull pork. I'm usually a huge fan of briskets and ribs because the meat tend to be the most moist and flavorful. But this wasn't the case here as both were quite dry and tasteless. The tomato-based sauce didn't help in salvaging just how dry the meat were. This was a bit of a disappointment but we did find the service and beer to be very good. read more

Yes. Just stop reading and go now; its that good. The Pemberton salad is the best salad I've ever had, period, packed with so much veggie, fruit, and grain goodness. Just do it. On my second visit I tried the pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich and it was incredible as well. PS, The fried mashed potatoes are a tasty side as well! Hands down my favorite restaurant in Whistler! read more

Hunter Gather - Pulled pork grilled cheese with fried potatoes. - Barbeque Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

This is our favorite restaurant in Whistler. Great food, creative menu, reasonable prices. Hidden in plain sight; it is very conveniently located, yet does not get the exposure and traffic it would if it was facing the main village stroll. Good for us, as there is normally not a wait. read more

Came here for a late lunch and had the Brisket Sandwich and a beer. As advertised we are stuffed and happy.

We ordered the Grant's Platter for Two and we were rather disappointed. As another reviewer stated, the food seemed like it had been sitting around for a while - we arrived at 1:00 PM. The wings, beans and corn bread were spot on. The brisket was overcooked and pulled pork and ribs were dry. The potatoes were great except they were barely warm. The coleslaw was ok, but was more like a cabbage salad than a recognizable coleslaw. The food had lots of promise, but failed to deliver anything positively memorable. read more

We've been coming to Whistler for 20 years but this was our first visit to Hunter Gather. All the food we tried was really good - like the bbq baby back pork ribs, but the salmon was truly divine. OMG!!! The ribs might have been considered a bit dry but for the sauce served with them. It made all the difference. Considering some folk like their bbq on the dry side this is perfect. I'm sure we'll be enjoying Hunter Gather for a very long time. read more

I was looking forward to this place. We were excited to have some BBQ food while we were here in Whistler. Unfortunately, none of us really enjoyed our food. The service was great, the interior has a cool vibe, but the food was not to our liking. Chewing fat....My husband ordered the brisket and it had big chunks of fat in it. He kept pulling bits of fat from his mouth because it grossed him out. The sandwich was also rather small for the price. My son and I had the pulled pork sandwich, which were decent but not great. My son had the coleslaw as his side which was interesting. I wouldn't call it coleslaw at all, more like a cabbage salad with a vinegarette dressing. My mom had BBQ chicken and didn't care for the BBQ sauce. My younger son had a corn dog and a salad and didn't like the batter or the dressing on the salad. I really wanted katsup for my potatoes, ranch for the salad, and lemons for the water and they didn't have any of those things. They make their own katsup, but it really didn't taste like katsup at all and the house made dressing had a weird taste to us. Don't like to give it a low score because the atmosphere was cool, but we spend almost $90 and no one in my family left there thinking, "Wow, that was good and I am so satisfied." Just not our cup of tea. Disappointed.... read more

Excellent. A must experience Whistler institution with flawlessly executed gastropub food. This is our third visit to Whistler, and third visit to Hunter Gather. I believe we first dined here soon after their opening? We loved it - and have very much enjoyed bringing more friends and family to visit. I always have a critique of food - I don't here. Tonight we dined with 6, 10 and 15 year old and a person with gluten and dairy intolerances. The kids came for the poutine and it did not disappoint. We also got the Pembertine bowl, tomato soup, and brisket with cole slaw and miso greens. All so good and so easy to accommodate a range of dietary needs. It was super busy! Covid cards factiously checked. Mask wearing pretty good. Food arrived in right amount of time. Waitstaff friendly and very attentive for the volume of people in restaurant. Beer and cider list extensive. Also great selection of root beers, kombuchas, and boutique sodas. If you spend all day in freezing temps on the slopes or trails, Hunter Gather is such a great place to refuel and reconnect. Highly recommend. read more

Favorite of us in Whistler village. Excellent food for price. Had salad and falafel bowl to share. Well seasoned and complete flavors overall. Came back and tried veggie burger and soup. All vegetarian and very tasty. Casual atmosphere, beer menu is very diverse. read more

I love Hunter Gather, go there every trip to Whistler. My staple is the Pemberton Bowl, this time with both salmon and tofu. But, there's lots of options, such that anyone can find something they like. Pleasant environment, too. Def recommend. read more

It's about time to have a reasonably priced restaurant in Whistler that serves great freshly made food and a very nice selection of craft beer. I ended up at Hunter Gather twice in one week and it was fantastic both times. The restaurant has a semi self-serve style where you seat yourself, look at the menu then go to the cashier to order and pay. So, you'll end up tipping before you receive any service, but the service is so friendly and efficient, it's a non-issue. There are good meaty options for food (Hunter) and good vegetarian options (Gather). Food is great, but I was most impressed with staff working there. They are all young, super friendly, polite and very knowledgeable about the food. I did not expect very much service knowing that the restaurant is semi self-served, but the service turned out to be so much better than some of the restaurants in Whistler. Thanks for opening this restaurant and keep doing what you do so well. Highly recommended! read more

Visited this place and our last day in Whistler. The food was really good and the service casual and friendly. My only recommendation is to get in line as soon as you arrive and figure out what you want while standing in line. There are plenty of tables and you'll find an open spot before long. More important to get those orders placed. read more

Too many places are just carbon copies of the same formula, Hunter Gather is such a refreshing change. We had more food than my family of 4 could handle but the taste was worth we'll worth it. A really cool concept in a great place. If you're in Whistler, make this place your choice for at least one meal. Oh, and try the hummus, it's worth it! read more

First time I had pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich it was out of this world. Came back in a month and had the same thing, but it wasn't as good as first time. The bread was burnt quite a lot, I don't understand how could the sandwich be served if it's burnt. read more

Yes! A Casual dining bbq spot in the village! Local beers, friendly people, delicious food. Our group shared the platter. Briskett was delicious, tender and not too saucy. Cornbread was great, potatoes were good and I really liked the kale greens. I can't eat pork, but the guys I was with definitely enjoyed the ribs and pulled pork! I will definitely come back each time I'm staying in whistler. read more

Very well prepared sandwiches with a slightly luxurious flare to it- price aside, their sides are as large as the main item you ordered. Tried their steelhead salmon open face sandwich. All ingredients freshly prepared and made to order. Lots of seating, clean and spacious venue. read more

I really like the outdoor patio area. It is well shaded and on a hot summer day in Whistler it is a really welcome respite. You take a menu, find a seat and order at the counter when you have decided what you would like. There is no service. Basically the staff behind the counter just take your order and deliver your order when it's ready. I ordered the smoked chicken and requested dark meat as it is more difficult to overcook the leg and thigh. My husband ordered the ribs. My husband was disappointed in his ribs but just ate them. My chicken was so dry, it was dark and not because it was the leg and thigh. It was also stringy. It was so disgusting that I could not eat it. As I mentioned service is non-existent and the meal has already been paid for. I called one of the servers over and told her that I was not pleased with my meal. She asked if she could replace it with another chicken dinner. I said no, my request was that they give me the wine and sandwich special they had (which was the same price as my smoked chicken dinner and I had already ordered wine with my chicken) and to give me a complimentary piece of key lime pie. She said that she did not know if this was possible. I told her to ask her manager. They agreed to my request and gave me a beef dip and a piece of key lime pie. I felt my request was very reasonable. When you pay for your meal in advance you are really at a disadvantage. We would not return to Hunter Gather. The whole experience just did not make for an enjoyable evening. read more

Really sweet spot. The food is on point: my partner and I shared the pulled pork sandwich, the smash potatoes, lamb shank sandwich, and the daily soup (which was a pumpkin coconut, yum!). For drinks you have your craft beer, wine, and non alcoholic bevvys. They do offer flights if you're indecisive like me. The restaurant host seats you, but you order and pay up at the bar before the servers bring you your food. While it is fast paced, the restaurant workers don't rush you out the door, and they're all very hospitable. I'll be back next time! read more

After a long day in the cold snow, I was grateful to end up in this warm restaurant with a hearty meal. We had the lamb sandwich and Pemberton bowl topped with salmon. Considering the Pemberton is a veggie bowl, I guess it wasn't as hearty but the blend of veggies and legumes was delicious. We also ordered the highly recommended smashed potatoes and in spite of my hesitance, they turned out to be slightly crispy and really yummy with homemade ketchup. The selection of local wines and beers was also nice. But what I really loved was being able to pick to a local charity for every $50 spent. I'd definitely go back. read more

Feel overall rating is just below 4. Friends introduced us to this place. You order at the counter then food is brought out to your table. Overall, you have to set/frame your expectations (as far as prices, portion size, tastiness) for a place that is at a big resort. Service is really friendly. We had a little difficulty getting table for large group. We tried a few things including brisket, ribs, BBQ platter. Was not impressed with the chicken on BBQ platter, but thought brisket and ribs were fine. Smashed potatoes are probably best side. BBQ sauces only ok. Someone ordered a seasonal vegetable platter and it was raw carrots and peppers with dip - didn't think this was special. Wilted salad was better. It's a nice space to hang out in. read more

IF Fat were a desirable commodity, and not a surprising undesirable feature, then my review of HG would be 5 Stars instead of the herein 3 for having surprising amounts of fat - the type of fat that has been slow cooked for several days and has the consistency of smoked meats. I dont like fat - not for its lack of health giving properties, nor for surprising me in midst of a sandwich that the townie's are raving about. So you have to find napkins, lots and lots of napkins, to spit out half of what you try to eat, but sadly cannot. Besides that, shifting to the rest of the Sandwich, the bread was a bit of a MEH surpirse. Hunter Gather could use a strategic alliance with Pure Bread down the road, making bread that Is far more impressive and custom, than WTF is this bread doing for a sandwich like this ? I came across an eager couple coming up to me on my route to the Taco joint nearby "Where is Hunter Gatherer" ? I told them, I have never heard of it before. I feel, in hindsight, I did them a favor. The truth of the matter is that HG is a relatively new kid in town and I had not heard of it before. Having now tasted the goods, I would give the atmosphere an A+ and the food, which you come here for, a solid C. At Best. Enjoy the well deserved review. People dont want to chew the fat. Your head chef needs to trim the fat out of his recipes - Or advise the customers what they are unwittingly signing up for. I dont know of too many people who line up to eat beef fat only to get up and go get a whole bunch of napkins to spit it back out. The review that correctly states "Way more Fat than Meat" along graphic photos is pretty Spot On seeing is believing. Way more fat than meat. The 1st item on the menu is this Sandwich. For $16 it is pretty damned small. Its less than half the size of a sub you'd get anywhere else. You are definitely still feeling hungry when you leave this place. Why ? I guess between the gigantic over toasted bread and copius amounts of fat there is very little that you actually eat in this microscopic tiny baby sandwich unfit for the slopes. Im just glad u have alot of napkins. Boy u gona need em. The damned experience almost makes me want to turn vegetarian than playing like Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant. Is that what you were going here ? The Revenant experience in dining ? Advertise : "Surprising high level of fat beef sandwich" SEE how far that gets YA ! Truth in advertising. CA o BF : Copious Amounts of Beef Fat No Hilarie No - your team was approached and the response was she will let them know about my concerns with excess fat. No attempts at any change or accommodation were ever made. None. read more

This joint gets a five star from me for a couple of reasons! Every year I help organize our company retreat to Whistler and since our group has gotten quite large we need to book large spaces. I had never been to Hunter Gather in the past but found it via a Yelp search. From start to finish this place nailed everything. We had a buyout of the space with drinks and food included for around 80 people. We were able to stay in the venue till 1am and bring in our own live music. I went an hour early to set up and they were so ready and organized for us. On arrival the beer, wine and appies were ready on the tables as everyone piled in. People were able to nibble and mingle before the mains came out. The staff was absolutely wonderful and not only that, they were fantastic at their jobs. With an open concept kitchen, not once did it look like they were having issues or were disorganized. The appie consisted of a cheese board with olives, cheese, nuts and fruit. Then we had some warm bread delivered and the main "family style" platters were served. They had chicken, ribs, pulled pork, greens, cornbread you name it! All delicious! After dinner they also served late night drunk bites which were grilled cheese sandwiches - the key to Kate's heart! Seriously this place is a wonderful addition to Whistler and id recommend it to anyone looking to dine solo or with a group as big as ours. Thanks so much again Hunter Gather for being so accommodating. Truly lovely people! read more

I really liked the Brisket sandwich and greens. My husband got the chicken sandwich. He said it was OK but honestly he doest really remember it. They also gave him the wrong side dish. They were a bit slower than the online estimate but only a bit and there was plenty of space to wait. We were there very late on a weekday though. Lots of outdoor seating which looked nice. I'd try them again. Nice customer service. read more

Tried the meat platter for two, and everything was delicious. Nice, friendly staff too.

We ordered lamb sandwich and crispy chicken sandwich - great food - the side of cole slaw and wilted greens was great and the servers were great! Very polite and one of our party went for a walk and got lost so the food was getting cold and they just put it back under the heat lamps... great place.. would go again read more

Salad with chicken was more of a 3 star for the price, but my husband gave 5 stars to his pulled brisket sandwich so it evens out to four stars. Nice seating area and lots of options, nice to just see a salad, which was hard for me to find in the village for some reason! Good for a quick bite and they do have wifi. read more

I really enjoyed the food and beer here. Great selection, great taste. If you are looking for a great meal in Whistler go here!

Hearty and satisfying. They have a menu for veggie lovers too. I'm plantbased/vegan and really enjoyed the lentil burger (no mayo) with lettuce, house pickled veg, on Portuguese bun, with a side of old fashioned bunny coleslaw and some chimichurri sauce on the side. Excellent service, thank you!! read more

Hunter Gather - Brisket with corn bread and cabbage, summer salad in the center, and poutine with pulled pork! Wow delicious and huge quantity's. - Barbeque Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

So glad we made it here for lunch! We were leaving that day and only skied a half day. Not much of a crowd but I would expect that at 1:00 on a perfect powder day. We walked by earlier in the week at dinner time and they seemed very busy. I had the brisket sandwich and an order of poutine. The poutine was a rather large portion (enough for 2-3 people) and includes many pieces of brisket an chunks of cheese. I couldn't stop eating it. The brisket sandwich was awesome - melt in your mouth goodness. read more

Great new spot for locals and tourists! The smoked short rib was tasty and the side of smashed potatoes were outstanding. Awesome selection of local craft beer and great patio read more

This place seemed pricey at first but you get what you pay for. The quality of food is stellar. We had the pork ribs and the poutine with beef brisket. Both had amazing depth of flavor and well balanced, not too sweet or salty. The rub on the ribs was super flavorful. The poutine is not traditional but made even better with smashed crispy potatoes, caramelized onions and pickles. The gravy was perfect. My 6 year old ate so much of it and he loved the ribs too. Also love the format of ordering at the counter and getting your own water. Friendly service as well. read more

Totally overrated. Way more fat than meat. Oh well, dinner was only like $25 per person so I guess you get what you pay for. Definitely won't be back. So many way better places in Whistler. read more

Fun place to eat with great menu and good prices. A group of us went after skiing one day with hopes of getting some delicious warm food after the long cold day outside. We were not disappointed. The beer selection was great, and the food was delicious. I shared the Brisket sandwich and chicken schwarma with m fiance - both were super good. The brisket was my favorite. Perfectly smoked meat. The smashed potatoes with cheese and gravy were very tasty, and potatoes were actually cooked cripsy! Atmosphere is very open and friendly. Highly recommend coming here after a long day. read more
