We popped in for a quick bite on the way home early on a Saturday evening (6pm?) and the place was almost full. I think we might have snagged the last free table. Despite it being quite busy, the service was remarkably fast, efficient and friendly! The environment on a Saturday was definitely "pre-party" in that the music was loud (but just under being too loud), the crowd was happy and having fun. I saw at least one round of shooters going by to a table of older folks, lol! If you have an aversion to loud places, try the outdoor seats or maybe wear Loops or other such gear. It is a pub, but kids are allowed until 9pm. As for the food, we just ordered the calamari and the wings (salt & pepper as the hubby can't eat chilies). We were really surprised at how good they both were. The calamari had a thin, crispy coating that wasn't too greasy. The wings were properly and fully cooked without being overcooked. So many busy pubs serve half raw wings, so I was really pleased with the wings. Also, I thought the chicken was of good quality, not something I usually notice with this dish. read more

I ordered the pub club and a purple rain. I am very picky about my fries and they had my absolute favorite shoestring!! My husband orders the Long Island iced tea and baron of beef. He said both were delicious! Our waitress Sydney made it so much fun for us and our friends. And we found out she lives in Hope where we were all staying. I also ordered a tequila sunrise. My friends ordered margaritas and raspberry cosmos. They said both were excellent choices and very tasty. I loved we could sit outside with nobody else lose there will all out six dogs!! Will definitely be coming back here on our next visit! read more

To start, the service was poor. They were able to accommodate my party with a service dog after extensive questioning but then after being declined to get drinks for the table we were left for over 10min waiting to order. It was disappointing and very unwelcoming so we decided to order to go. The host was uninformed about the menu and amenities in the area. The ambiance was okay- family friendly. The food was mid and lacked the freshness we craved even though we ordered salads. The blueberries were dried not even fresh. Absolutely not worth the price. Won't be coming back. read more

Food was decent. Service is great. can't really complain about much. I would recommend going back there if you were new to the area or a resident. read more

The salmon was one of the best I have ever tried in BC! It is something that I am willing to travel from Vancouver for. The drinks were okay. Loved the cute setup and the service though! read more

Great good food and service. Always order the full coarse meal. And a few beers. Just seams like the portions where a little smaller this month. Other then that always enjoy a good evening out. read more

We had dinner with friends at Old Settler's pub in Harrison Hot Springs on Sunday. When we went to be seated our reservation had been lost. They never did find the reservation. There was a singer on the patio for the first part of the evening it was very loud. The singer was very good though and we thoroughly enjoyed his music. Our main server while very pleasant was not efficient. We ordered a bottle of white wine, 1 glass of white wine and 1 glass of red wine. She brought all white wine. My husband had a steak, I had chicken and penne pasta, Our friends had fish and chips and Caesar salad with prawns. The food was all very good and the servings were generous. After we finished eating we sat with dirty dishes in front of us for a long time and never saw our server in our area. We finally flagged down another server and asked if they could clear the dirty dishes off of our table. read more

Fun, friendly, and tasty. Small town vibe and this was one of our favorites. If in town for the hot springs, this is a must.

Classic pub in Harrison with a cozy, rustic vibe. The menu is hearty and portions are big -- burgers, fish & chips, wings, all the staples done right. Service is friendly and the beer selection is solid. It can get a bit busy on weekends and the food isn't fancy, but it's exactly what you want from a local pub after a day by the lake. read more

The best burger and beer selections in Harrison Hot Springs! They have beers from all over the BC and Alberta breweries. We worked with Rhiana. She was very kind and helped us with menu and beer selections. The Burgers are definitely the best in town. It's fun to sit outside and watch the non-flowing Miami River. Highly recommended!! read more

The venue for one of our dinners during a recent stay in Harrison Hot Springs. The 'Pub' -- a 'been there, done that' sort of place for us - was open. As usual, with most of our past drinking and dining experiences there, service was prompt and friendly, but food presentations exceeded preparations, and tastes. Once again, this rang true for us - drink was good, but food just 'ok', along with higher prices. read more

I would like to provide you with some feedback . We were there on Tuesday afternoon around 5pm dinner . the Pub wasn't really Busy to begin with 3 tables on the Patio We both ordered the house burger and my colleague specifically asked for no tomato due to dietary restrictions both burgers came with tomato, after explaining to the server he asked for no tomato her response was you can just take it off yourself . ( who does this ) - it should have been taken back and made sure there is no Tomato trace Secondly the fat and grease that dripped from the burger soaked all into the fries yes it was that much . - Clearly pre Cooked sitting in some juice just to be thrown on the grill for heat Also doesn't mean its a burger and fries we don't require cutlery . We were given zero or offered any or extra napkins - even after he took tomato off and placed on napkins The service was below . Even MacDonald's staff has better service and burgers compared to the greasy fat crap we had at your establishment read more

I wolfed down my burger so fast I forgot to take a picture. It was an impressive burger with bacon, tomato, onion and lettuce. The staff were friendly and patio is big. Great little casual place to eat pub food. read more

Unfortunately, the last few times we were there, the staffing were overwhelmed and a little bit snarly with the customers. The portions were small and the food came to us cold overpriced in some aspects of their menu seems to be a hang out for some of the seedier locals. No plans on going back read more

The prices have gone up here but the quality has gone down. Dinner for four with one drink each was $200. My girlfriend's taco salad was to put it mildly not great, it was like a chopped salad with a tiny bit of cheese jalapeños, olives and chicken on top, no seasoning. My blue cheese burger and fries were average especially for $25 or $30 and the gravy was burnt. The service was good and we tipped 15%. I've eaten here before and the food was better. read more

This is an edited version of a review I posted a year ago. They finally fired their horrible manager and hired a decent cook and the changes are dramatic for the better. The meal was fantastic. I had a chicken drawer and the minestrone soup. Both were wonderful and carefully prepared. The soup was a big surprise! It is packed with fresh vegetables that were prepared al-dente rather than being well cooked. I loved it. The chicken in the salad was definitely fresh and never frozen which made it tender and juicy. Finally, the service was fast and personal by our waiter, Jayden. Its hard to find good help in small towns but this kid is a winner. He is friendly, happy, knows the menu and actually likes his job. If I owned a restaurant I'd double his pay and steal him away. My wife thought the same. Great job all around. The only issue we had was the tourist town pricing. We live here and would come here more than once per week if they initiated discounts for locals. read more

I loved this place. Fresh into town from the U.S. east coast, I was really taken with the rustic, log cabin look of the place, the moose head over the door, the ornate wooden bar. It all said "Canada" to me. I sat at the bar and talked with the very nice bartender Jillian, enjoying a local Old Yale IPA. I asked if they had poutine (did I mention I'm a Yank and can't get it at home?) and though it's not on the menu, Jillian assured me they would make it. Melted Cheese instead of cheese curds, but still it was just the thing. There's a fireplace in the dining area and a picturesque covered porch with a nice view. It's all around a very scenic place for a meal. read more

Huuuge menu, something for everyone. Pleasant service - the server went out of her way to joke around with our ten year old. She even brought him extra fries at no cost! Food was pretty good. Our party of four adults and two kids ate here two nights in a row, with no complaints. Salmon sandwich was a little bread-heavy. Everyone enjoyed their various burgers. The Caesar salad with shrimp was fresh and reliable, with a hearty portion of shrimp. Cocktails were very sweet but not unpleasant. Drinks were refilled very quickly. Interesting dinner specials both nights - one night was "Hawaiian Schnitzel," which we did not dare to try, although we did look on with interest. read more

We were in Harrison Hot Springs for 4 nights and we ate here for lunch one day and dinner twice. Its a cool rustic pub that is decorated with lots of wood carvings, to match the log cabin type feel. The service and food selection each time was great. We tried a variety of items. We had a chicken salad for lunch and the appy platter. Prime rib dinner on a Fri & a Monday night. The first night, it was perfect ! Large portion of beef, baked potato, Yorkshire pudding, veggies, & salad. OMG yum ! Plus the drink feature "Blue Hawaiian was excellent ! The Sunday prime rib encore was not as good, however the issue was solved immediately, leaving me extremely impressed at the customer service A++ I would highly recomend is place to anyone. Enjoy ! read more

Again good basic pub food and nice atmosphere. Due to staff shortages its closed on Tuesday's. Beer is cold, food is good, staff is nice. What more can you ask for in a resort town read more

My girlfriend Adrienne & I dined in the Old Settler Pub tonight and the food was very good! We shared the west coast greens salad & the chicken fingers & fries. I could tell the dipping sauces and chicken fingers were all homemade and excellent. The bbq sauce was like a tangy-spicy chutney and dipping the matchstick fries in this bbq dip was epic! Our server Becky was attentive, sweet with laughter and efficient. Thank you very much, Summer read more

Close to all the major hotels and a liquor store is attached which is a bonus. Average pub food with a little above average prices which is normal in a tourist community. Nice atmosphere and very clean. My husband and I both had burgers and they were quite good. read more

5 star pub. Looking through some of the other reviews, it's clear that some people don't understand what a pub is supposed to be. Great burgers, good service in a log cabin. What do some of you weirdos want? It's pub grub at a reasonable level with a great atmosphere. read more

We had the Bruschetta, French Onion Soup, and Baron of Beef with fries! The bruschetta was so flavourful with the combination of pesto and balsamic vinegar and the french onion soup was pretty good, could've used some more cheese though. The Baron of Beef was okay, very tender meat but melted cheese and onions would've make a nice addition, fries were nothing to write home about. I will definitely be back! :) read more

The food here is good, definitely recommend eating here. The portions are generous and the atmosphere is pretty nice as well. Fairly pricey so go in expecting a large bill. The tables can be a little small so there isn't a ton of eating space but it's not horrible. The main downside I had was that our waitress basically forgot we existed. Felt very neglected. read more

Excellent part of our Harrison Hot Springs adventure! Great atmosphere and a liquor store next door, what else could you want? Good food? They've got ya covered! read more

Best food in Harrison Hot Springs. I took my girl here. It was the busiest in town, and for good reason. The server warned us of long waits for food, because every seat was filled. We waited a reasonable amount of time. The food was well cooked and enough for everybody. Generous portions. The interior is classic, with good music playing. I recommend to all. read more

Pretty consistent place to go for a meal and/or drink. I tend to stick to burgers there and am satisfied. I have tried a few other things like the pizza, and it's ok, but not great. Love that they are open late and do takeout. Sometimes servers are friendly, sometimes not. Maybe it's confidence and training, but I suggest not starting with, "Oh, just for you?" You have a great spot. Make sure to be welcoming to everyone. As a local, I would go more often. read more

Ordered the after hours menu, able to cook our orders in 20mins for take out. 3 orders of chicken wings and 3 chicken personal pizza plus 2 calamari everyone was happy. read more

I've been coming to harrison every summer for years now, (we have a trailer up there) and have been to the pub several times for eats and bevies... I was never overly impressed, no complaints but it was just fine UNTIL my last visit over Canada Day long weekend! Something is different and it's all in a good way! Service was great but the food was really really good! I had the power bowl which I will return for again and again! My daughter had the pulled pork with all the prefect flavours going on. There were 7 of us and no complaints from anyone. I'll be back! read more

What a diamond in the rough! Excellent food and service. Prices are good and very warm and comfortable atmosphere. This will be our go to place when we're at Harrison read more

All the time. Good food. Good service. Super convenient for us. Maybe too convenient?

My colleagues and I came here on a Friday night and sat on their lovely patio facing a creek. We ordered the $27 Prime Rib special and asked for a medium rare. The food took a while to come and the steak was overdone and the potatoes tasted like it was microwaved. I mentioned that the steak was overdone. The server was apologetic but he couldn't get me another one because they sold out. I just put up with the meal and it was fine but could've been better. read more

2.5 stars Kitschy pub with lots of funny ambiance, service was pretty good. Great BC craft beers available in draft and bottles. Plenty of seating. The food leaves a lot to be desired. Came out in a decent amount of time, but the fries were dead cold upon delivery, the pub wasn't busy at all when I was there, why cold fries? Too busy closing the kitchen down is my guess as it was near the kitchen close time, why not send out old fries instead of dropping a new basket. Unfortunate as every member of our party of 4 had an entree with fries. The guys I was with said the burgers were good though! Maybe just an off night... I'll skip next time for dinner though, better food elsewhere! Nice spot for a fun round of drinks though :) read more

Options are limited in harrison hot springs village. After trying our hotel,and another place in town, all future meals were consumed at settler's. So, for that I give it a relative 5 stars. Decent IPA on tap and all the pub grub you can manage. We tried breakfast here on our last day and were not impressed. Hands down, worst bloody mary ever (I watched the bartender add ice, then vodka, then about 1/4 cup of worcestershire sauce, then a couple of shakes of tobasco, then a dash of tomato, then top the whole thing off with water...which was then served unmixed-- imagine a browny-red tequila sunrise, if you will). The coffee was also terrible. So, skip the breakfast. But, beer and pub fare? Yes! read more

This place exceeded my expectations. As a Vancouver diner, used to high level service and food, I expected low casual pub fare and lack lustre service. However! Jayden made our experience better than MOST fine dining places in downtown Vancouver. There's something to be said about attentive but not overwhelming service, a good quip and a little sass. The food was also, fantastic. I had the quesadilla and loved that it wasn't doused in commercial seasonings. It really highlighted the beef and veggies. There's a reason their prices appear to be higher for a "pub" and the reason is a great one. Check them out if you're in the Harrison area. We will make a point to come back. Thanks Jayden! read more

Delicious take-out dinner to our hotel room last night! Hot, and fresh, and very flavourful. Highly recommend the Baron of Beef, which had perfectly cooked and tender roast beef, very fresh ciabatta bun and flavourful au jus. Perfectly done! My family also enjoyed their Blue Cheese Burger w/ Caesar salad (super fresh also!) and Chicken Quesadilla with fries on the side. Happy Hungry Family!! Thank you Old Settler Pub!! read more

My wife and I stopped in on a Tuesday night for a few drinks before dinner. The ambience was great and the drinks were measured pours similar to most places I've been to in Canada. The servers were great and even though I didn't eat here, I would give it a try. We had a total of four vodka sodas and it came out to $29.90 so it should get an extra star for that. read more
