    Food is bland. Only one employee working in the entire place so it was a long wait to order, then a nearly 20 minute wait for a single burger and fry. Employee left the till before I finished paying, needed my receipt so asked for it when I got my food, I was finished eating before I got a debit slip that didn't match my purchase type, needed to also ask for the detailed receipt, got tired of waiting for the proper receipt and left. Poor experience all around. If you can't properly staff your business, just don't open.

    Kind of a surprise to find this in Castlegar. Sort of an upscale take on fast food. I know it's a chain but it is still a rather austere take on that 50s style restaurant in Pulp Fiction. Nevertheless, service was great and the food was quite good.
