The Hut Drive In

Really nice sitting area outside, but...Staff wasn't very friendly and the food was pretty basic deep fried. Average at best. The washrooms were nasty too

I tried the chicken at this spot as well as the fish and chips. Both tasted great and the service was pleasant. The fries were excellent. Lactation is good too as you can walk around the town and down to the water. Servings seemed a bit small but I was satisfied. I'd go back here again.

I had a veggie burger, coleslaw and fries. It was slightly better than what I expected from a random drive-up restaurant. Pretty basic, but not bad. They have coleslaw, malt vinegar and ice cream which goes a long way in making fast food fun!

It is alright. There are some shelters available to for you to sit down and enjoy your order. There are no washrooms available at the location and you need to drive to boat launching dock, which is roughly 500 meters away, to access the public washrooms. Ordered family pack of deep fried chicken for lunch. For sure they made it fresh in 15 minutes from the order placement. We found Chicken were outside bit dark and inside wasn't cooked properly. It is possible they must have cooked at high heat.

Great food and milkshakes love it. Beautiful village too.

Best fried chicken in BC in my experience. Great selection of milkshakes as well.

Review Date: July 14th, 2015 Yes, it’s called a Drive Inn. No, you can’t park your car inside nor rent a room for the evening. Nakusp, BC. Our target destination after what seemed like endless hours of driving. Rolling up at 2am, we quickly headed inside and crashed hard. As soon as we were all awake, we needed some food to help refuel after that wild drive. Doing what I do best, I convinced everyone to head in to town to see what it offered. We hopped back in to the van and hit the town. Seeing as my cousin’s wife was from here, she suggested a few places. The Hut was the one that sounded promising to all of us. The van was ushered in to a parking spot and we piled out with our empty bellies. Pouring over the menu, all of our mouths watered at the tasty-sounding goodies offered. I was heavily in to chicken sandwiches around this time so that is what I grabbed. I’m not sure what everyone else ordered but I do know the price was pretty consistent with other places like this. Since it was 5 people ordering food, plus the other customers there, the wait was a bit longer than I expected, but these places tend to make their food whenever it’s ordered, so that’s not always a bad thing. Once the food came out, we quickly headed to a table with an umbrella as we were roasting in the summer sun. Everyone immediately dived in to their food without hesitation. I had slight trepidation as I was in unfamiliar territory with different cultural viewpoints in how to make food and what toppings to put on it. As I sunk my teeth into that first bite, I knew there was nothing else to worry about. That chicken sandwich was full of big flavor. It may look unassuming in the photo below but I loved that thing and wanted another after finishing it. The menu for The Hut was rather large for the size of the town. The food options were a combination of what you can get at an Ice Cream Shack and a place like diner. Burgers, fish and chips, wraps, ice cream, shakes, breakfast, poutine, etc. There is surely something here that would interest most people. As for the building itself, it is in the shape of a triangle and looks to be a house as well? Or maybe previously a house? The peculiar design definitely catches your eye while driving down the road. Luckily after visiting it this one time, we hit up the Hut a few more times for food during our stay in Nakusp. While we did try other places, as you will see in coming blogs posts, none compared to my instant love for the chicken sandwich at The Hut. 6+ years later, I still want another one.
