Great chicken wings. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is warm and relaxed with culture.

Was recommended this bbq joint by many people in town. Was super hyped, smell was intoxicating as you walk through the doors. Don’t believe the smoke and mirrors. Food was super disappointing. Brisket was extremely dry, chicken moist but lacked seasoning. Jalapeño poppers were lacking in crunch, wrapped in rubbery undercooked bacon. Beans were the most palatable food item in the spread. Save your money, better off having dinner at Costco food court.

Place was a recommendation and I wouldn’t recommend this place. You can bbq better on your own. The environment is great but the food is not worth the price. Quality is not looked after the jalapeño poppers come in with under cooked soggy bacon and pepper, brisket is dry, Mac and cheese (remember to bring your seasoning with you) Just order the beans. After all this we wanted to stay to play trivia but got pushed to leave for another party.

This place is Such a vibe , unique atmosphere,the staff are amazing and the food is gold !! Friends LOVE the open mic night and magic shows , I can’t wait to make it to one ! I highly recommend this sweet spot.

Amazing old saloon interior and delicious smoked meats. The "Meat Sweats" platter is enough for 4 hungry people, and the burnt ends are outstanding. Another great achievement by Jason Parks Customs. Recommended, but make reservations - it's busy!

A real disappointment. Ok-est food ever. Similar service. Could have stayed home and saved the drive.

Ordered the meat sweats which was great, along with the parlour tricks beer. Unfortunately most of this was overshadowed by being seated upstairs on a low couch despite having a reservation for 4. We got two low, tiny tables and another two regular size chairs which were quite uncomfortable. Trying to share a platter for 4 on this tiny table from a low couch on a table that was quite tippy really detracted from the experience. On top of this the staff seemed to see no issue seating up here and told us they didn't have any other tables. Not the experience I'd expect from making a reservation ahead of time.

I was able to make a last reservation yesterday for Valentine's Day, and they were able to accommodate me, thankfully. Very easy process through their online reservation system and, within minutes, got a text message confirmation that my reservation was secured.We were seated within minutes of coming to the door, and delicious drinks brought minutes later!!We ordered the big platter of barbecue everything and it did not disappoint!! It's absolutely incredible, not only that but the food was there on our table probably 10 minutes after we ordered it!!!Food and service.... AMAZING!!!Oh and one more thing, whoever designed and built this place.... kudos!! It's like you're walking back in time into a western saloon! Beautiful place!Thank you hatching post chefs and servers!!???

The second visit to The Hatching post. It was terrible ! Food was dry and tasteless, service was way too slow! Wine was very expensive, $12 for a six ounce glass! (None on their Happy Hour menu) we won't go again.
What a disappointment. I made a reservation over a month ago for the Steak & Date night for tonight as their instagram post had advertised that the special would be available every tuesday until February 13th (which would suggest tonight included). Not only was there supposed to be the steak special but they advertised live music would be happening during this dinner special. We showed up tonight were greeted at the door and were seated upstairs. No live music was happening so we thought ok maybe the musicians weren't able to make it, fine - maybe the dinner will redeem this. We each ordered a beer and when the waitress came around I had asked her if we had to let her know beforehand that we were here for the steak & date night. She replied "oh yeah that doesn't include tonight though because they are doing a steak and seafood night for tomorrow for valentines day." I showed her the post (to which she agreed) and noted the menu board near the entry also clearly stated the daily special on Tuesdays as "Steak & Date night". The waitress informed us that her manager was not in but that she would ask the kitchen stating that it would likely still be a no. We had already ordered our beers and decided to give an opportunity for The Hatching Post to redeem themselves if the food/service was exceptional. We ordered some of the burnt ends and the macaroni and cheese. The food came out concerningly quickly and it was evident when it had arrived that it was likely shoveled out of a hot plate and slapped into paper cups like it was cafeteria quality. The quality of the food was mediocre and for the 70$ we spent I might as well have lit my cash on fire. When the bill came around I was opportunistic thinking maybe they will comp one of our beers for the inconvenience but no, and nothing offered other than the bill and the interac machine. I will never eat here again nor will I suggest this place to friends and family. Local businesses are struggling and experiences like this certainly don't reinforce the public's choice to support local. Major thumbs down!

Absolutely incredible food. Went there for my Birthday dinner and was impressed. Friendly staff and very efficient, it was a Thursday and packed. Quick & friendly service and the ribs and pulled pork to die for. Highly recommend.

"Absolutely phenomenal experience at Hatching Post! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. The ambiance was inviting, and the service was impeccable. The BBQ here is truly exceptional, with a wide variety of perfectly cooked meats and an array of delectable sauces. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the attention to detail in every aspect of the meal was evident. The staff were knowledgeable and passionate about their craft, making the dining experience fantastic! Hatching Post has undoubtedly set the bar for BBQ in Kelowna, we can't wait to return for more culinary delights."
Very good food
