Inspection summary

JB's Pub and Restaurant has been inspected 5 times by Interior Health Authority since July 9, 2013. The most recent inspection, on September 18, 2024, found no infractions.

2 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Food temperature control 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 17, 2015. For example: 8 - Are equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils washed, sanitized and stored in a manner that removes/prevents 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 February 22, 2018. For example: 4 - Are proper refrigeration, freezing and thawing procedures followed?

  • 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 December 17, 2015. For example: 9 - Are foods handled in a sanitary manner and protected from contamination?

    Went here with my wife and got a steak sandwich with Caesar salad and fries. Got medium rare and they did an excellent steak, was delicious. Caesar is tasty and made with a homemade dressing. Fries were great, service was fast and friendly. Definitely a great place to stop by for an affordable bite after hitting up the springs! Super happy with our dinner, and we will definitely be back next time we go!

    Fast friendly service, food was good and server brought us our bill right away so we could leave in time to get to the hot springs. We had the steak sandwich and beef dip and both were very much enjoyed

    John was the best waiter of all time. Great service social and fun to talk to. Even when it was super busy he still made it right!! Thanks 😊 💕💕💕 and he even remembered my order from the night before. Perfect!!!

    Delicious food and very generous portion sizes. The service was also very quick and the waitresses were very friendly and happily gave us menu recommendations. We were seated quickly and given multiple seating choices. Both the fish, steaks and schnitzels were cooked to perfection.

    This is the place to come for fish and chips! So yummy and they had other great things on the menu. I was really tempted by the schnitzel but I knew I had to have the fish and chips. I also had the cream of asparagus soup which tasted great. The only thing I would change is to have a drink menu. The server did a great job but it was a lot for her to remember and it was a bit busy and things would have gone so much faster if we could've chosen our drinks before. Prices were excellent for what we got. My husband definitely wants to come back here.
