Bear’s Den Restaurant

Not bad… Our experience here was very average. We met family here for breakfast on a weekday. The waitress wasn’t overly friendly but she took care of us and was fine. My husband ordered and the Okanagan scramble and enjoyed it. My waffle with strawberries and whipped cream was good. The side of bacon I got was too soft and not crispy at all. I would definitely get the waffle again but I would skip the bacon next time.
The one thing that really bothered me was the flies. Flies had gotten into the restaurant and were buzzing around. It’s small town Canada and yes, flies are active in the summer but they need to work on some method of getting rid of them.
Overall, I would go back but I would hope for less flies. I would get the waffles again.

This was a terrible breakfast experience. It probably didn’t help that we were a little hungover from a wedding the night before, but it was awful in all ways possible.
The décor is ridiculously out dated. The seats were ripping and the tables were sticky.
The service was horrendous. We sat for 20 minutes (the sign says ‘please seat yourself’) before I got up to get my own menu. Only then did one of the bussers see me and point out to the server that we were in her section. She passed by another few times and then finally came over to get our drink orders. 10 minutes later and we got coffee & water and the chance to order breakfast. We ordered… and waited.
I get it, they were busy, but there wasn’t an apology or an explanation from our server. We just sat there with our headaches, getting hangrier by the minute.
My sausages were underdone (raw?), while my husband’s were charred. We both had the omlettes with different options… they were large, but nothing special. Toast was slathered in butter.
We didn’t see our server again, so we got up to get our own bill. The girl at the till was super busy, rolled her eyes when she looked up and saw the line-​up, then called a junior staff member over to take-​over. The new girls was slow (but really nice), and we only tipped based on the fact that she smiled at us (first smile of the morning).
From start to finish the breakfast was 1 hour 45 minutes. SERIOUSLY? Then the guy at the front desk had the gall to chastise us checking out late. Booo!
Not a great impression. Would opt for McDonalds (barf) over this any day!

Fabulous pancakes, bacon cooked just right, great coffee! Bubbles served us in a timely manner, in a very nice, clean, air conditioned restaurant. Well done!

Open from 7 – 2 only. This is the best in town, always packed, and voted the best in the Valley for breakfast, many years in a row by the locals. Why would you eat anywhere else?
