Joey’s Only, Penticton, B.C.

We haven’t been here for awhile, but we both had a craving for some REAL Fish and Chips and, yes, we do know where to go for this. http://joeys.ca/index.html

 

When we arrived,  it was quite busy and it is fun, when Dan (owner) looks at you and isn’t sure who you are, but seats you with the same friendly, warm flair they offer here.

Our server, (looked new to us) was very good, brought our food quickly and throughout, was  attentive seeing that we were  enjoying the food, more coffee needed or did we need anything?

We wanted to split our order as it is always ample, but added an extra piece of fish. Sooooooo worth it! The batter is so light, crisp on the outside, moist on the inside and I love their coleslaw.

When we were leaving and I was using the machine to pay, I added the tip and it went through. Then, and here is why we love Dan so much, honesty to the core. He looked up at me and asked if I really meant to have that kind of a tip? When I looked at the receipt it showed approximatly 125 percent more than I thought I had pressed. He gave me back the difference and we were on our way. By the way, he did a double take on my name and goes “oh yeah”….love it!

Love this restaurant, the owner, staff and of course, the food. Price $$

Brown Bridge Pub, Princeton, B.C.

Today, on our way home from Vancouver, we wanted to stop for a quick lunch break without having to leave the highway and go down into the town. We had already been to a couple of restaurants and were not happy with them and decided to try this one.

When you enter, it looks just like a good, clean pub. We ordered coffee and a cola to drink and Don ordered the one piece cod and fries and I, thinking ever so cautiously, would order a salad. I dread doing this because every salad I have ever ordered in a restaurant puts onions in and on the dish.

Well, our server was a real delight and the food was exceptional.  Don really enjoyed the fish and chips. It was piping hot and came with a great tasting coleslaw.

My ginger beef salad was so wonderful…..the beef was super tender and lots of  it on top of fresh spinach, grated purple and green cabbage (just enough, not too much) and cherry tomatoes.  I am still licking my lips. 

It was our first visit and certainly won’t be our last. Clean, great pricing and great food. If they had a web page I would include it, but they don’t. If you drive through Princeton, give them a try. It is worth it just to stop and take a break.
