    The food and atmosphere is worth the 9 hour drive to get there. A great place to go after a long day of quadding the trails.

    Have always loved the atmosphere and Decor of the rum runner but hadn't eater here in a while. We stopped for lunch with some friends at noon. The restaurant didn't open until noon and was slammed by a big rush of customers. The service was a bit slow due to that but food was still delicious and well presented!

    I find it rather strange that people have awesome comments about this place yet only giving it 3 stars. Stopping here on a Tuesday evening for dinner and this place is buzzing. Quick service as soon as I sat down. Love the decor but most importantly the food is off the hook. I got the Cadillac burger and it was fresh and delish. There are many other items on the menu that sound worthy if trying. I recommend this place to whoever is passing by the area.

    Stopped in after a weekend in Fernie. Have been driving past here for years but it has always been between meal times so was excited to finally stop in for lunch. First off they have great decor inside (hello canoe hanging from the roof) and the patio/deck is lovely especially as it is 1/2 in building shade for those who want it and the rest is sunshine. There were 5 of us and we were pretty hungry. Order drinks, and waited for a pretty long time to get them. Then ordered food straight away. It took an incredibly long time for the food to arrive. Over 45 minutes at least. The problem was that no one came to say if there was a wait or what was going on which leads me to believe it is always that slow. By now we were so hungry we could have eaten the table. Thankfully the food eventually arrived. The boys both had bacon and cheese burgers. The burgers are massive! The fries portion that comes with is pretty generous too. Both said their burgers were good. One girl had ceaser salad (needed more dressing) and S+P wings which were tasty. The other girl had poutine with her chicken burger and the gravy for the poutine was on point. Chicken burger wasn't bad either. I had the baked chicken with cheese and ham on top with a baked potato. Potato was perfect inside and had a generous amount of toppings. Chicken was slightly overdone so the edges were dried out but it still tasted good. Overall this would have been 4-stars for good food, but the service was super slow from the waitresses and the kitchen was snail pace. If we ever stop again, will have a snack before hand so we don't fade away waiting.

    Perfectly on point decor...

    Really standard pub fare, but the service is good. The food is fresh and the prices are totally reasonable. Great atmosphere and the lunch specials came out hot and fresh.

    There's a POUTINE BURGER. Passin' through the pass? The Rum Runner is a great highway rest stop. Packed to the brim with coal town kitsch, the Rum Runner is a favourite roadside food and drink stop that serves up some tasty pub grub. There's a nice sized patio a story up so you can soak up some sun and watch other motorists cruise by. It's got a good authentic Canadian Pub feel to it with plenty of exposed wood and a come as you are attitude. They've a got a decent assortment of items with some meal sized salads and wraps if you want to go a little lighter, but what it seems like what they're really known for is their half-pound burgers! Ok, back to the beginning - There's a POUTINE BURGER. It comes with a warning that says "Not for the faint of heart". It sounded like and absolute monster and the absolute best pick on the menu. I didn't get it. I had my shot to man-up and I didn't take it. Instead I went with the Pulled Pork and a side of regret. (Pulled pork was alright, but it didn't seem like their "thing" like the burger are.)

    Ribeye and Caesar salad. Yum. Good food, friendly & fast service. A little hard to talk as the noise level is like a bar.

    Overview: We came here on a week night and were surprised to see a live band playing in the…read morerestaurant! The atmosphere was lively, the waitresses and waiters were helpful, and the drinks were great. We would definitely come back again. Food: 1. Fish and Chips: The dish was well cooked and had great flavours. The fish was crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Would recommend. 2. Veggie Burger: The beets and sauce inside the burger really gave it a nice flavour. Would recommend. 3. AAA Alberta Beef Melt: The beef slices were very tender and melted in my mouth. The au jus was well seasoned and tasted great with the sandwich. Would highly recommend. 4. Cod Tacos: The fish was well cooked, but lacked some flavour and tasted bland. 5. Heid Out Burger: The BBQ sauce had a nice flavour, but the beef patty itself was a little under seasoned. 6. Char Siu Beef Wrap: The portion size was good and the enoki mushroom had a great favour. The beef however, lacked some flavour and tasted bland. 7. Spicy Pickle Sticks: Well seasoned and the pickles were still crispy. Paired well with the cider. Drink: 1. Red roof cider: This was probably one of the best cider I've tasted. It was a little on the sweet side, but I would still recommend it. 2. Flight of Beer: A great way to taste some of the restaurant's beers. Atmosphere: Lively and a good spot to relax after a long day of work. Service: The staff were very friendly and the food came fast.

    Great food and adult beverage options. Server was helpful and love the environment…read more The place was packed on a weekday night but the service and staff were Awsome
