    Inside the Summit
    Paul M.

    This is a nice break after doing some long snow shoes trails. To get here you would need to buy gandola tickets to come up.This is about an 8 minute ride. Great views going to summit and from it. A lot of panoramic views to take with a suspension bridge. But I'm not writing this for the experience but the food. The food had many options from hand helds like lamb burger, soups like saumon clam chowder and grilled options. So this part was great. In terms of the decor, you can't beat the view. However when it's busy and under Covid restrictions, good luck finding a table. A lot of people weren't too happy. When you need to go to the washroom you have to go outside and go down a few steps.That means during winter, you got to put back on your winter wear and represent your QR code when you enter the restaurant...so this is a hassle. The restaurant offers real meals on one side and coffee, hot chocolate, tea with pastries on the other side. I think that they've gotten too popular and needs to rethink the design of the place from the customer service area to separate the two distinct restaurants with their own seating. Located in Squamish not far from Whistler. $-$$

    Smoked brisket dip and garden salad

    Stir crazy times! I had the week off and no idea what to do. Woke up and decided to goto Squamish! Staycation! Hey I haven't tried the Sea to Sky Gondola yet. Took our kids and parents along and was pretty much set for limited, over-priced food at the top. Got a nice big table on the patio to hold our group and the view is spectacular. Who cares about the food now right? Were my expectations ever off. Yes they are the only sit down option but the food was well plated and very tasty. The wait staff professional and efficient. Prices were a bit higher, as to be expected for the location, but I felt they could've went even higher, especially with the quality of the food coming out. Everyone was pleased with their choices and totally set a positive tone for the rest of our day exploring the areas up top. Would love to come back with visitors when this covid19 gets sorted out!

    The thing with mountaintop restaurants is twofold: they have you kind of at their mercy, and they have to cater to a very common denominator. I've been to the summit lodge a few times, and that's always been my experience: resolutely okay Western food with little variety, fairly high prices for what you get, and an overall crowded and slightly uncomfortable feel. It's a place you eat at because you're hungry and it's there. The rest of the lodge is nice in a touristy sense - there's a small café with okay food, a gift shop, and so on. The nicest part is the view from the great big deck outside, and the suspension bridge leading off into the mountaintop. Really, that's the key - you probably want to be up here for the mountain, not the food. So don't linger inside too long - it's not a bad lodge, but the nice walks and views outside are much better!

    Customized lamb bowl

    Came all the way up to the top from a long 7.5 km trail to sea to sky! Amazing views with a intermediate/advanced level hike that led you to several climbing and inclining. Once I got to the top which took about 4-5 hours, I decided to reward myself with a late lunch. The cafe had several selections along with a bar to have drinks at. You basically take a place that you help yourself with, tell the workers what you want and they will prepare it for you on the plate. A lot of outdoor seatings so that customers can dine and have a great view. You then pay at the register next to the food prep. I decided to order a customized rice bowl served with brown rice, lamb, coleslaw, mixed veggies, corn and more. The total turned out to be $19 with a Pale ale beer. Overall the beer was great but the food was not all that. Lacked a lot of flavor and did not have a lot of lamb meat in it. The rice was okay. Probably would not try this item again. Should have gotten a burger or a wrap. 3 stars for the food but 5 stars for the overall hike!

    Food was good , well worth it. We did have to wait about 15 minutes for our burger but I didn't mind since they were made perfect . it was about 17 bucks with French fries included. I am from the U.S so it was about 12 for me . the chili was good too , it was 9.50 for a bowl . Management did seem to have an issue with their menu since they didn't have cheeseburger on the menu and ppl kept ordering cheeseburgers. A lady was yelling at the two guys that were cooking the food , which made them overwhelmed . They line had about 10 ppl now. It was bit funny. The view your get from up here is amazing . I would definitely recommend coming here .

    Ok soooo my and I ate here for New Year's Day for breakfast after leaving from Whistler, BC with a…read moreParty of 6. We waited 1.5hr to be served our food with only 3 other people ahead of us waiting for their food. The place was empty and only 3 plates were served at a time to each of us. The fruit portion was just two VERY thin apple slices and one grape for the food decor on each plate! The food portions were the smallest I've ever seen for diner food options. We had to wait so long that we had to go down to the coffee shop down a few stores to get lattes and pastries (Sunflower Bakery & Cafe I recommend hands down) while we waited. The server had an attitude and was the only person taking the orders and busing the tables (the dishes from other tables were not picked up). Yes one person managing the customers but I honestly felt she had time to pick up the dishes around other tables and ask if we needed any coffee or water. There were no other customers after us that came in. The few that did walk in were told the restaurant was closed. There was one syrup container and that my son had to ask to barrow from the other table still finishing up the meal. The potatoes on our plate seemed like they were from a frozen bag and reheated on a pan, no taste or seasoning on them. Sausages were not seasoned and no flavor to them. The pictures on the previous reviews do not compare or come close to what we were served. The food did not make any of us sick and the restaurant was clean that is the only reason this restaurant is getting two stars on my review. Would I ever come here, Absolutely NEVER! Go to Sunflower Bakery & Cafe they serve you delicious coffees and amazing pastries and other breakfast items!

We scanned the menu which included typical breakfast options such as eggs, bacon, ham and sausage, breakfast sandwiches as well as omelettes. I unfortunately have a gluten allergy (celiac) and asked the server if they had gluten free toast (which they have but do not offer it on the menu). The hash-browns unfortunately are tossed in flour before deep frying (which was not listed on the menu) so I was given the alternative to have French fries (which were fried in the same oil) and I didn't necessarily want French fries for breakfast. When the food arrived my brother in laws breakfast sandwich smelt and tasted sour. It was the ham that was on the sandwich so he did not finish the sandwich. My eggs were cooked fine, but definitely at their expiration date. We are travelling from Ontario and have eaten so many amazing meals while visiting and this one did not meet the expectations that we have. Hopefully this will help the owners and staff to make the improvements they so desperately need moving forward.

The baked Brie was rich and creamy, while the potato skins were loaded with flavor and made a great appetizer to share. For our mains, we enjoyed the smoked brisket, rack of ribs, and brisket beef dip. The brisket was tender and smoky, the ribs were perfectly cooked and fell off the bone, and the brisket beef dip was hearty and packed with flavor. Portions were generous, and each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail. The service was attentive, personable, and efficient throughout our visit, making us feel welcome from start to finish. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience in the area.

We ordered the jambalaya, a burger, and the smoked beef brisket dip. The burger ended up being the favorite of the table. It was well-seasoned and came with fries. The jambalaya delivered the flavors you'd expect. The brisket dip wasn't bad but nothing to write home about. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt casual and welcoming. It's the kind of place that's easy to eat at after a day of hiking or exploring Squamish.
