Inspection summary

Jackson's Hole & Grill has been inspected 11 times by Interior Health Authority since March 4, 2013. The most recent inspection, on June 23, 2026, found no infractions.

2 of 11 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 number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on March 26, 2025. 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on December 13, 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on December 13, 2023. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

    Recorded once on April 3, 2017. For example: 4 - Are the premises, equipment and utensils designed and maintained to ensure safe and sanitary food handling?

  • 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 January 27, 2020. For example: 1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?

    We went back again and overall had a great experience. The food was enjoyable, portions were good, and we would still return. Unfortunately, the crème brûlée was burnt on top to the point we couldn’t really enjoy the dessert, which was disappointing.

  • Chloe Salvatore

    Great food, afternoon on a Saturday! Bar side and restaurant side made the booth seating nice. Walkable from Main Street. Drink selection was awesome!

  • Adam Newsome

    This is a pretty good spot if you're looking for pub food and drinks in town. The service is good, the dining area is nice, and the food came out fast (it was not very busy when I went). Many of the menu options looked good to me and they are all pretty standard pub fare but with a few interesting twists (for example the nachos have a queso beef dip which was pretty good). I would check this place out.

  • Courtney Skinner

    The soups here are so amazing they made me emotional. Plus the owner greeted us upon arrival. (I believe his name was Clive) had a gorgeous V-neck sweater that made us feel at home. My children absolutely adored the cheesecake. I will certainly be back.

  • John Hunt

    This is not a food review but a thank you for Clive? Hopefully this is correct. I just wanted to send a thanks for helping my wife and I out of a jam on Sunday. We had a flat tire on our motorcycle coming out of Kaslo and he was nice enough to stop and promised to call a tow truck when he got to a place with cell service as we had none. Truly thankful for your kindness. Much appreciation from John and Tina. We will be sure to stop in and eat the next time we are in Nelson!
