Inspection summary

Grizzly Food Shack has been inspected 5 times by Interior Health Authority since March 23, 2021. The most recent inspection, on October 22, 2025, recorded 1 infraction.

None of the 5 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 1 infraction recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination and Handwashing and staff hygiene.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 25, 2024. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on November 28, 2023. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 28, 2023. For example: 4 Are written sanitation procedures (Sanitation Plan) current and available on site?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 28, 2023. For example: 5 Are the FOODSAFE training requirements being met?

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 2 times on March 23, 2021. For example: 6 Are the premises designed and equipped to ensure safe food handling?

    The best thing about this place is definitely the view, and the food is pretty good too. You can order to go or enjoy it outside at the tables with umbrellas. It’s not really a restaurant as such — more of a small takeaway window, with the owner working from the kitchen inside and serving through the hatch. The menu is simple and typical: beef and chicken burgers, hot dogs, wraps and a few salad options. A solid stop near the road and a gas station, especially if you don’t want to lose too much time going far from the main route.

    Nice little food truck with a simple menu and fast service. We stopped to pickup some lunch. I got the donair wrap which was wholesome, tasty and flavorful. The portion was also pretty good. My wife got the Greek chicken wrap which was okaish, lacked a bit of seasoning

  • George Mathews

    Very quick service. A lovely lady works there and she works quite hard. Decent little seating area with beautiful views of the mountains. The food is fairly priced and portions are decent but I personally didn’t enjoy the taste all that much. I had the grizzly burger, which was honestly not bad, but it wasn’t amazing at at least to me. also had the chicken wings which were all right and some potato wedges which were alright too. basically a decent place if you wanna get reasonably priced food

    We were a group of 6 and stopped at Quizzly Shack for breakfast while staying at a nearby hotel, and we were definitely not disappointed! We had decided not to come the day before because of the mosquitoes and the fact that the waiting area is outdoors, but we’re glad we came back. The coffee isn’t the best, and unfortunately, she ran out before everyone in our group could get a cup, so some of us had to grab coffee at the nearby gas station. That being said, the food was amazing anf fresh!! The owner was also very friendly, and considering she works alone, she was incredibly quick and efficient. Overall, a great little spot for a delicious breakfast and friendly service. We would definitely come back!
