    Warm salad nicoise & Pemberton pile up pizza
    Yuri Y.

    The warm salad nicoise is my favorite salad in Canada. The full size is hefty and satisfying and healthy. Not enormous but solid draft beer selection. Other things I've eaten here have been solid too - the wings, a Reuben sandwich, and poutine. My go-to for dinner in Pemberton.

    Ultimate burger and salad

    The Pony serves the best burger I have had in Canada...it might even be the best burger I have ever eaten. One of my friends came here a year ago, and he shed a tear because the burger was so tasty! This time the same friend said it was just as good as he remembered. I tried the ultimate burger with foie gras, pork belly, onion marmalade, really tasty tomatoes and a balsamic reduction that brought the whole thing together. I loved it (although to be honest, it was so rich, it may not need the foie gras.) My friends all swear by the gormet burger (then they ask to add foie gras to it.) So, if you are ever hiking near Joffre Lakes, pop by hear on your way back to Vancouver. You will not be disappointed.

    For a small eatery, well any eatery really, this place is quite good! The place looks like a converted old barn from the gold rush days, but with new walls on the inside...word of caution, don't sit next to the dividing walls, one of them toppled over and nearly hit a patron in the head!! Happily surprised the food is great and they use 'fancy' cheese in their sandwiches and their version of mac n' cheese! I had the grilled veggie salad, it came with grilled artichokes, eggplant, red peppers, mushrooms, mixed greens, feta cheese and it was fantastic. The pulled pork on thick toasted baguette like bread was also very good and a favorite from what we could see, definitely a must have for meat eaters and came with fries. The grilled panini with Prosciutto, provolone, gruyere and salami was very good and came with a caesar salad that had prosciutto and half an egg. Portions very generous and fresh. I also had a coffee because a few people mentioned it was really good, but I can't agree, it tasted like old stale coffee, bland and had an after taste...sorry.

    This place is one of the few restaurants open later in the night, so I can see why they get busy for the late night crowd. But I guess that's a good strategy when you have very few options to choose from. I came up from the states to spend the weekend in whistler, but our hotel was in pemberton. My friends and I wanted to grab some food and the pony was the only place open. When we arrived the place was small and pretty crowded, but not terribly packed where every table was full. There were about 4 tables of 4 available but not together. We had a group of 11, which I can understand be overwhelming for a small local restaurant. As soon as we told the hostess/waitress (her name was Monica by the way) that we need a table for 11, she said we could either wait 30 minutes to clear off tables or sit separately or she could maneuver some tables together and have a big group and a small group. She ended up making a big table for the majority of us while a group of 4 would sit in another table. That was fine with us because we just wanted to grab food and be seated. Once our table was ready, the waitress didn't tell us to sit or seat us or anything so we just stood there waiting. Then in a rude tone of voice she said we could sit down. How were we supposed to know if it was ready? You didn't sit us down. The whole time she had an attitude because we were a big group. She had a rude tone of voice when we ordered and would make comments like "next time you guys should make a reservation since you're a big group." I get it, it's inconvenient, you weren't prepared, whatever the case may be, but you shouldn't be rude to paying customers who were willing to spend a lot of money at your establishment. We got a bottle of wine, we ordered lots of food, drinks and desserts and probably spent $50 per person. The food wasn't bad. The super ultimate burger was delicious, juicy and so flavorful. The service just ruined it for me. Monica ruined it for me. The only time she was nice was when we were about to tip her and when she knew we were leaving. Monica gave us such a bad experience at the restaurant that having good food doesn't make up for it. It's a shame that she couldn't be accommodating and get over the fact that she was overwhelmed. It's not like we were going there as soon as they were closing. Good luck to anyone who gets her as a server.

    Terrible tuna poke and yam fries. Overpriced and not fresh.

    Mile One Eating House had a mile long line-up out the door so we decided to give The Pony a try. Man, did we ever regret not waiting! We were in the area after a day of hiking and decided to take our order back to the hotel to enjoy. We were SO disappointed when we opened up the take-out containers to what was revealed inside. I ordered the tuna poke ($15). The list of issues include: - Tuna not fresh and looked like it was hacked at when being cut up. - There was supposed to be avocado but I only got 2 small pieces of it. - Way too much onion. - Portion was very small for the price. - The fried crisps were soaking in grease. I also ordered some yam fries. They were mediocre at best and came with BBQ dipping sauce (which I found confusing). Never again.

    The Pony, Pemberton, BC

    With slim pickings in a town of 2500, I was happy to find the Pony. In fact, driving into town my "ah ha, that's where it's at" spidy senses went off and there was no stopping me! It was alive and kicking on a Friday night, with playoff hockey (we lost) and their One Year Anniversary party. Service was a kind of efficient, but not as friendly as one would like, but I would guess that it's harder to find good servers in a small town. Beers were $3.25 a pint, for Howe Sound or Whistler Brewery and a small, but well appointed, menu of tapas was $5. Pizza was the only other thing that we could order, and while I wished a salad or two would have been offered, I couldn't complain about the pizza selection. The Cow Tipper pizza was full of blue cheese and sweet tasting beef flavour, and depending on what slice you bit into you got a heavy dose of either or. The price was a little steep at $16 but the pizza was filling and the crust was flat and crispy. From the tapas menu we ordered the pork belly. Now, I've had a few bellies in my life, and I have to say, this goes down as one of the best. Like a creme brulee in Buenos Aires, Argentina or a tortilla soup in Tulum, Mexico -- Pemberton, BC's Pork Belly might just be the new measuring stick for all future bellies I put into my belly.

    Where the avocado at? Where the sauce at?

    Very friendly service and unexpectedly generous portions. We came here by chance and discovered it as a delightful surprise.

    I just have to drop in here to say, this Grapefruit Ale is my new favorite beer. It is SO light,…read moretasty, full bodied... I can't sell it more. It's amazing. I had it at a different restaurant in Squamish and then had to come looking for the source. It was well worth it. I also will say, the vibe in this brewery is chill and fun, and the employees are awesome. Great spot to chill with friends! Get that Grapefruit Ale, it's the jam.

    "When I get out on the dancing floor There ain't no stopping…read morefor an hour or more I can't stop, I want to kiss your pretty lips 'Cause I know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips" (The Yardbirds) Our big convention group had the place to ourselves as they closed the restaurant for "a private event", which just so happened to be us! We sampled five of their beers - Mountaineer Pilsner, Grapefruit Ale, Black Tusk Ale, Llemoncello, and Variable Conditions IPA. My favorites by far were the Pilsner and Llemoncello. Very drinkable and thirst quenching. Our food was an appetizer of Vegetable Samosas and I liked them a lot. Flaky crust, plenty of vegetables and potatoes, and just a hint of curry. We had quite a few pizzas in the dining room -vegetable, pepperoni, and a barbecue chicken and pineapple. I liked the vegetable and the BBQ chicken. Both had great flavor and a medium soft crust. We had a few GF and Celiac folks in our group and Whistler Brewery did an outstanding job accommodating them, so hat's off to their staff and kitchen.
