This is a great place to grab dinner and drinks after a day of skiing on Big White, great atmosphere, excellent food and music to dance to after dinner.

Family night with 7 people.Had reservation confirmed but on arrival the host says they do not use Open Table anymore.They still had a table for us, the server was great, service a bit slow, burger was great, chicken schnitzel was very good, pork burrito was a bit fatty. Pizza was good but the crinkle fries were not the best. Vibrant place to dine out, food was average but since this is a pub it was acceptable.

Thanks very much for you honest and thorough review. We appreciate you taking the time to share it! Yes, we're transitioning away from OpenTable (actually reservations in general) as the system is not well-suited to our business. I apologize for the confusion but I'm glad we were able to properly welcome you regardless. I'll be sure to share your feedback with our Chef. Thanks again for sharing it, and for having chosen to join us. Cheers!

Our family meal at Snowshoe Sam's was great. Initially the table of ten that we reserved was divided into three tables but we moved things around and the staff didn't have an issue with it. Being in the corner was perfect, our waitress was great and the food selection and tasy were great. Overall a tremendous night out with the family. Thank you.

I ordered the Ragu Bolognese and found it to be very dry and flavourless. Definitely not worth the $26 price tag. My dining partner ordered the double smash burger with fries for $22.50 and said it was pretty good.

Best restaurant on the mountain by far. Love that the Nixon's are part of the Big White family. Their menu is so killer and the drink selection is unreal.
