What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on August 6, 2024. For example: 2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on August 6, 2024. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on March 7, 2023. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

    Nice laid back bar and grill. Service is great, food is greater! Burgers are amazing. Definitely get bang for your buck. Nice that they are open 7 days a week and into the evening. Gotta come back and try the live music. Brews very tasty and refreshing with a nice selection.

    Great Bao Buns, good beer, nothing dark though. Thanks for the response.I did have the Porter there just wasn't any other choices. And I know many places don't do a lot of dark beers in the spring summer. It's kind of a North American thing. But I like my stouts and my porters.We'll definitely be checking more out in the fall.But we'll be back in probably many times before then

    Huge surprise. Came here on a random January Saturday based off of a review I read saying the burgers were great. Great beer, amazing burgers.. the service was incredible for how busy it was. Looked like1 guy up front and one girl on the back. Had pleasant interactions with both . Also.. try the taco beer. It’s wild

    Good vibe. Good beer. Good burgers. With the closure of Ben's Appetite at the brewery in old cannery building in Penticton, I can say for certain that these are the best burgers in the South Okanagan. It was toss up before, but now it's definitive imo. The onion smash is my favourite. My partner's favourite is the blue cheese smash. Both are delicious. Fries have a good crisp and seasoning too. Oh, we recently tried their onion fritters—to die for! Solid beer line up too. Everything from experimental new brews (taco flavoured beer) to tried and true lagers and pale ales. I love the kölsch myself, but their porter and west coast IPA are good too. And, they serve proper Canadian prints, not those American sized ones you find at most places. Their desert cowboy vibe feels perfect nestled up in the hills behind Giant's Head Mountain. Nice cozy, dog friendly, patio in the afternoon, and live music occasionally in the evening makes this place a worth it no matter the time of day. Their growlers are also worth picking up as they're probably the most affordable in the valley.

    Great times at this joint. Came in for a live music show. Had never visited prior. Took a cab up which was admittedly a stretch but loved the vibe. I think it was the euro trash? Probably had about 7 of these Lol. Cheers!
