Hungry for a light lunch we ended up at the Wild Oak, which you would miss if you weren't looking…read morefor it, and that would be a shame. It's small, quaint and in a smallish space with a couple of tables out front and a patio in back. It's dog friendly which we love, and a bit of a hole in the wall which we love even more. The service is counter service where you place your order, pay, receive a number and then sit while they prepare your sandwich, or whatever you order. The menu is small, which like the place makes sense. I had the grilled cheese with added ham for a very reasonable price and the lovely K had the daily special. Both were good, not five star worthy, but solid. We both had water, not really coffee folks, so can't comment on that, but the murmurs were that the coffee was great. For us a great place to grab a quick lunch and enjoy the sunshine in Armstrong, what could be better than that.

Took a while to get our food and there wasn't any cooking involved just soup and half a sandwich…read morethe soup was so thin like there was water dumped in to make it last longer, one half of the sandwich was decent, the other half was not acceptable, the chicken was mostly fat and just inedible, the bathrooms weren't super clean, for thirty dollars, a little disappointed.

On our way to Tappen with empty stomachs we stopped at their Vernon location for a sandwich. Both craving BLT's the lovely K, thanks to Yelp saw that they had that offering. We pulled in, parked, and entered the store. It's always a treat to go in as the store is well stocked, well lit and always clean. The young man that helped us at the counter was courteous and informed us of the soups that were available that day. Borscht I think might be a staple here, and the other offering was Mulligatawny, which we have made at home. Our soup and sandwiches ordered with the choice of back, or side bacon, we went to the bistro area to await our lunch. Prior to stepping away however our bacon was cut fresh from the side. Who does that? Needless to say our sandwiches and soup were delicious, and from the looks of it we weren't the only ones that have discovered this gem. Another redo while in Kelowna or Vernon? You betcha, and we can't wait!

As always my reviews are in real time…read more My gf and i came here to get icecream after eating at a crappy diner. Im not gonna say what it is - but it was very WOODEN. So when we got here we were amazed. Its a patio - so its outside. Dress appropriatly. I dont see a kitchen but i am suprised on the variety of the menu. Like this menu has so much stuff its aweosme. The decor is very lovely. The menus look like little scrap book. Love the seating aragments. A wide varaity based on u and your party. So even though we already ate, we are gonna eat again just cause we cant miss this opportunity. My girlfriend ordered a blended iced cap and it was so tight. Ugh im in love. This is like a place i could come to everyday. Now i need to take a moment to say screw the wooden nickel cafe. I gave it 2 stars and want to demote it to 1. Cause this place is that good. Now back to the review. My only thing with this place is i think they only have 2 people working so i find the service is slow. But imma let it slide cause its worth the weight nah mean. This place is so good its actually making me want to work things out with my girlfriend. Just got our food. We ordered wraps. Wanted to eat light. And the wrap tastes like the feeling we wanted. Light, cloud like, really just feeling free. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. Seriosuly u can taste the freshness. I should know i just ate food at the wooden nickel cafe which i assume was just bought at the iga across the street. Like iga bruh, isnt that shit suppose to be sobeys now. All in all hit this place up. Its awesome. U wont forget it. And if i can qoute the man who just paid his bill before me "it was wonderful". -fatniss everdean

So you are driving along, and really there isn't any real reason to stop in this small town, per…read morese... You would be incorrect for so many reasons, because in reality, there is one of the best reasons to stop here, this is it... the Hedley Country Market. Why we stopped, we needed a potty for our kiddo. Why we stayed, we discovered a place that was making fresh made Sausage rolls, and Pies... wait, what? Yes, made in house, with someone who actually cares about the way food should be made, without all the additives, is this small town market. First off, the place smells like a bakery, but it's not that, it's the hub for this old mining town.. which stopped mining like a century ago, but it's not empty, in fact there are people here who are as nice as one can be, this market serves up kindness and tasty food. Yes, they have all the normal pantry items, crisps/chips, and liquor, but the Gem of it is the kitchen. Honestly, I want to write a bunch more, and they would deserve every positive word written about them... but here's all you need to know, don't just drive past this town, or this shop. It's a great place to load up on something made in-house, that will have to writing home, in fact, this Yelp review proves that point. Highly Recommend.. and did I mention the Sausage Rolls?

I can only speak for the pie and it was perfection!…read more Delicious flakey crust and lots of fruit/berries. I had the winter berry pie and would definitely get it again. While the slices are good size, I think they get 6 slices from a pie rather than 8, they are priced on the high $ide as a slice will be close to $9 out the door.

This is the only restaurant in the airport so your choices are limited. Ample seating (although the wooden chairs aren't very comfortable for too long) and always very clean. There are some outlets by select tables for charging up devices (handy while eating). Most items are made fresh so it's a nice change from fast food or heavily processed cafe food you might find elsewhere. The breakfast specials they have sometimes are a really good deal all things considered ($7 for two eggs, toast, bacon, etc). Definitely a place to check out when going to Castlegar.
