Inspection summary
Hungry Jacks Cafe has been inspected 6 times by Interior Health Authority since March 14, 2018. The most recent inspection, on February 26, 2026, found no infractions.
2 of 6 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Handwashing and staff hygiene and Protecting food from contamination.
The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. 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.
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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on October 10, 2024. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 27, 2023. For example:
7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?
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 on May 5, 2022. For example:
7 Are foods protected from contamination?
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 10, 2024. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 27, 2023. For example:
3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

We loved our hungry Jack’s experience. Graham was our server, greeted us in a lovely manner and even let us change tables when we asked. We were there on a Saturday, breakfast all day only open till 1 PM. So it was beginning to thin out when we got there just after noon. I hear it can be a line out the door and down the street if you get there earlier, so be careful. The eggs Benny we had was awesome. We had a full order and a half order, both reasonably priced. We also had a waffle which came with a nice big bottle of syrup and was tasty. The peppermint, London fog and the pot of tea were wonderful. Came with a little nice OC of honey. Lovely atmosphere, clean bathroom after a busy morning – important. Great drink, choices and goodies, the whole menu looked great, will come back for lunch sometime. And Graham even had some pottery on sale by the till.

Stopped here hungry on a road trip hoping to find a plant based option I could eat. They didn't have vegan cheese but I left it off my grilled veggie melt. It was delicious, especially the hummus on the sandwich. Cherry Hill coffee was excellent and they gave us one to go. Will definitely stop by again on my way thru town. Service was awesome. Both staff members there were very attentive to us. Thank you!

ordered a veggie burger. I was quite clear with the server asking if they made it, how big it was, and she assured me they make them in house and it was served on Kaiser. three bites into the burger and it tasted funny and the texture was all wrong. I looked and there was not a single vegetable to be seen.. I immediately thought "oh no, this is meat!" I called another server over, I asked him straight up if it was meat. said no that's a veggie burger. he said they order them in and he cooks them from Frozen. I asked Danielle, my server again because she had previously said everything was made in-house. she said she would ask the kitchen. the kitchen said it was a Beyond Burger. I've never eaten any of that crap and it tasted like crap. they fed me Lab-Grown 'meat' 🤢 without my understanding or prior consent 🤮 Danielle took ownership of the mistake, and complimented my meal and coffee. thank you Danielle! yet it seems no-one between the kitchen, servers and owner knew what was going on. the kitchen said they thought it had been changed on the menu long time before.. a learning experience for anyone ordering vegetarian > investigate before ordering, and investigate before taking your first bite 🍔 I hope my next rating to this establishment is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The size of the portions is awesome. Had the Canadian Omelette and Wife had the Waffle with Sausage. Coffee as well. With tip $30 ish. Was NOT disappointed. Thankfully the Waitress warned us that the single waffle might be enough for my Wife. It was!! Whipped cream on top. 😋 Lotsa stuffing in the Omelette as well. Cheesy 😋 I don't usually give al three categories a five star but it was deserved here. ✌️👽

Hungry Jacks is an Enderby standard for us locals. The food is good. The staff is happy, energetic and kind. The atmosphere is homey and welcoming. I frequent the place for breakfast mostly and occasionally lunch. The other day, I overheard the staff talking about the new banana cream pie that the cooks had just finished. I heard one waitress say "Gee, how can we give an honest and valid recommendation about this pie if we have not had a chance to taste it! We ought to do something about that." Behind the counter, everyone agreed that this was a good idea. One other customer and I had overheard the conversation and I piped up. "Thats a really good idea! You probably need some independent reviews a well! " Five minutes later one of the staff showed up with a dolup of this incredible pie. It was fresh that morning, thick and creamy. It was even a little bit warm from the oven. It was so good! Every once in a while the chef comes up with special treats. They are an act of love. Love for her work, a giving back to the customers. Something beyond the basics to tantalize everyone gifted with the opportunity to partake. A while back she made up some incredible pastry consiting of cherry and cream cheese. I am waiting for that one to come around again. There is the standard fare that they serve and it is all great! But I love this personal and special touch that sometimes graces their menu. It goes along with the personal touch and neighborly care of the staff toward us locals. Its a place like the old show "Cheers" where everybody knows your name.
