Inspection summary
Huckleberry's Family Restaurant has been inspected 3 times by Interior Health Authority since December 4, 2024. The most recent inspection, on April 1, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.
None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination and Food temperature control.
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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 1, 2026. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded once on October 8, 2025. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
Other findingsLower risk
Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 1, 2026. For example:
1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

We had breakfast here on Easter Sunday. I had the Waffle with crispy chicken and my partner had an omelette. The food was fresh and tasty. The service was great. We enjoyed the friendly and rusty atmosphere.

Came here years ago and had a great meal. Came here Feb 2026 and the meal was very basic. The meal was out of a box and I could have made it out of microwave. The chicken nuggets for my children were terrible and the fries seemed like they were bought from Costco. Nothing fresh and nothing homemade. Also years ago they had numerous huckleberry items and now nothing. So then name does not mean anything. It’s like me opening a coffee shop and not serve coffee! Would not recommend, very disappointed!!!

I took my three kids to this restaurant and we absolutely loved it. It is so charming with a cozy wooden cottage mountain vibe. We came on a steady night and the service was excellent. The waitress was so polite and friendly, the interaction felt very genuine and not forced. The food was so good. I really enjoyed my schnitzel sandwich with fries. My kids had cheese quesadillas and they did not skimp on the cheese as all. The portions were very filling for us and we took our fries home and enjoyed them later on. Fries were the right amount of crispy and fluffy. My absolute favourite was the huckleberry mountain tea. It was so delicious I didn’t leave a drop behind and I bought a can to take home. If you’re coming through here I definitely recommend stopping even just for a tea.

Been coming here every time we come into the area, great food and great customer service. Only 2 things is the wait can be quite long sometimes and there needs to be a new tartar sauce it's not very good. Awesome place though!

One of the most unforgettable breakfast stop. The staff were amazing and the food was superb! I super loved it and will definitely come back. I wished we have the same in Edmonton.
