Not much to look at, it's a big roomy place with plenty of seats and a great staff of folks to help you. The restrooms were clean. Definitely on our list to revisit. 09/22

The service - super friendly, though not exactly attentive. On a hot summer day, it was disappointing that we were not offered refills on drinks. 5 stars for food, took one away because of service (and the fact that we left the restaurant and went down the street to a cafe to purchase lemonade to quench our thirst).

(You know American massive means twice or thrice the size of your head and this was like "little bigger than my head" so I ate it especially since I didn't have any way to deal with leftovers.) Family is eager to try the other locations.

And although there isn't much competition around here, I would still say that this restaurant is worth a stop. The staff are all super friendly. The view of the lake is great. And the food is good. I got the breakfast wrap, which has a healthy portion of eggs and sauteed veggies. It tastes phenomenal and I would most certainly get it again. I had mine with fruit, which was fresh, but having tried the potatoes, I think that's the way to go! The only note is that they do put the salsa in the wrap, and so it does tend to leak out the bottom. The rest of the table got the salmon lox which looked phenomenal. Large portions of smoked salmon. The scrambled eggs are fluffy. And the onions and capers add really nice acidity. I am not a coffee or tea drinker, so unfortunately I can't speak to their drinks too well.

A new owner bought it three years ago and totally ruined it by telling customers what to order, instead of just taking orders like any other restaurant would do. The new owner, Nadim (who wants customers to call him Django) also engages in the egregious practice of price gouging and selling expired food. Take Note: NONE of rhe locals eat at Canyon Alpine Restaurant any more - we are all waiting for the owner to go out of business and sell it to someone who will bring it back to some semblance of a decent diner again. The only customers this restaurant has are people who've never eaten there before, and very few of them return. So so yourself a favor and avoid this 'restaurant' at all costs!

Merritt is a ghost town on Sunday…read more Being from Vancouver, I bounced out of the motel at a chipper and squirrel-like 10am and strolled down to the ten or so streets that make up downtown Merritt expecting to take my pick of brunch places. I tend to assume small towns are churchy because I watch a lot of movies and documentaries based from the USA, so I had visions of post-church families in crowded diners eating adorable meals and drinking tea. This is not so. There was nothing open. Except fast food, the Coldwater (I'll review that one later,) and Mandolin's which is near the grocery store. They had cornered the market, so I thought they didn't really need to try anymore. But holy hell, their bagel melt was awesome! They roast the turkey themselves, then add dill cream cheese, some onions, peppers, lots of cheese, and maybe other stuff, I lost track, but it is really good! Their coffee is good too. And they have soy milk. And Wifi! So I could just hang out there all day and work on stuff. Yay! If you find yourself in Merritt on a Sunday, totally go here.

BEAUTIFUL DINER, OK FOOD…read more As a Riverdale fan, this was a pilgrimage years in the making. The diner was even more beautiful in person, compared to photos I've seen online. At night when the neon light hits the vinyl seats and linoleum walls, it creates an colorful glow in the air, that can only be described as magical. Now for the food: this was just average. I was disappointed when my burger (the "Jughead Jones") was made with frozen beef. This detracted from what was otherwise a beautiful, well-crafted burger. The poutine was made from shredded cheese and not cheese curds. And the milkshakes were just ok. Not bad or excellent, just ok. Possibly due to the use of lower-quality ice cream. Will I come back? As a Riverdale fan, definitely yes!

The decore is cute and I spent a good time just looking around and enjoying all their decorations and signs. We came in after a long drive and were seated immediately. It was quiet when we arrived and then got quite busy. I love how they have a self serve soup station and all you can drink soup if you choose that option. The soups were wonderful. Hearty and hot. 5/5 split pea and ham soup 5/5 beef barley 3.5/5 smokey mountain bourbon BBQ beef and mozzarella burger. It was good but a little heavy on the BBQ sauce. Wasn't able to taste the beef or the bacon very much. 2/5 triple mayo Parm fries. A bit lacking. When it first came it didn't have any Parm on it. After speaking to the server she kindly got it topped with Parm. The fries were okay but came unsalted which is fine. After 5 mins it cooled down and it got kinda hard and was no longer good to eat. Other than the honey mustard mayo, the other two (garlic and another one) basically tasted the same. Very understaffed, not sure if it was just this day as we've only been here once, but it was only one server running the entire restaurant. Would I come back? Yes. Probably. The soups were delicious, but I'd probably skip the fries.

Being a soup fanatic, I would suggest soup with every meal. More so here. They feature an all-you-can-eat, self-serve soup bar. Every soup I've tried has been fantastic. At our table we all sampled the Baked Lasagna, Danish Baby Back Ribs and a 15 topping pizza called the Canyon Colossal. They advertise it as a 17 topping pie, but in truth, Italian tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese are standard, not toppings. Still a classic pizza with great flavour. In fact, all the dishes, we found delicious! The crew were a delight and on top of it. I love a full water glass. This is also convenient, right off the highway. Should we make it back to Fraser canyon, this is a no-Brainer. 09/22
