The Hut Drive Inn - Nakusp

Hit the Hut. Stopped in Nakusp for lunch and couldn 't pass on The Hut...road food on a road trip!<br/ <br/ I had the bacon and cheese burger, my wife the fried chicken. We shared a chocolate shake.<br/ <br/ The burger was okay...pre-made patty a bit of a let down. The fried chicken was excellent, crispy coating with good crunch and a light seasoning; and not greasy. Highly recommend going for the chicken!<br/ <br/ The chocolate shake was excellent, too. Thick 'n ' chocolatey.<br/ <br/ The Hut has plenty of picnic tables and shade trees, overall a fine stop!

...my grandfather step through for one more Sunday then The Hut Drive-Inn is just the kind of place I’d take him.

Great food for reasonable prices. The burgers and milkshakes were fantastic. Quite the variety of milkshake flavours too- not just the basic ones.

Review Date: July 14th, 2015 Yes, it’s called a Drive Inn. No, you can’t park your car inside nor rent a room for the evening. Nakusp, BC. Our target destination after what seemed like endless hours of driving. Rolling up at 2am, we quickly headed inside and crashed hard. As soon as we were all awake, we needed some food to help refuel after that wild drive. Doing what I do best, I convinced everyone to head in to town to see what it offered. We hopped back in to the van and hit the town. Seeing as my cousin’s wife was from here, she suggested a few places. The Hut was the one that sounded promising to all of us. The van was ushered in to a parking spot and we piled out with our empty bellies. Pouring over the menu, all of our mouths watered at the tasty-sounding goodies offered. I was heavily in to chicken sandwiches around this time so that is what I grabbed. I’m not sure what everyone else ordered but I do know the price was pretty consistent with other places like this. Since it was 5 people ordering food, plus the other customers there, the wait was a bit longer than I expected, but these places tend to make their food whenever it’s ordered, so that’s not always a bad thing. Once the food came out, we quickly headed to a table with an umbrella as we were roasting in the summer sun. Everyone immediately dived in to their food without hesitation. I had slight trepidation as I was in unfamiliar territory with different cultural viewpoints in how to make food and what toppings to put on it. As I sunk my teeth into that first bite, I knew there was nothing else to worry about. That chicken sandwich was full of big flavor. It may look unassuming in the photo below but I loved that thing and wanted another after finishing it. The menu for The Hut was rather large for the size of the town. The food options were a combination of what you can get at an Ice Cream Shack and a place like diner. Burgers, fish and chips, wraps, ice cream, shakes, breakfast, poutine, etc. There is surely something here that would interest most people. As for the building itself, it is in the shape of a triangle and looks to be a house as well? Or maybe previously a house? The peculiar design definitely catches your eye while driving down the road. Luckily after visiting it this one time, we hit up the Hut a few more times for food during our stay in Nakusp. While we did try other places, as you will see in coming blogs posts, none compared to my instant love for the chicken sandwich at The Hut. 6+ years later, I still want another one.
