Reviews of The General Store Restaurant (Coffee Shop)

Dawn Bollman

Always a good meal. Waiting staff are friendly and efficient.

Jordan McDougall

Awesome pancakes! Apparently it was built in 1898 so tons of history in and around the building. If it's a nice day, eat on the patio!

Esther Oh

They have really good service. We stayed at the Hume and ate here for breakfast, which was good too. What really stands out are the people working here!

Doug Strath

Very nice and cozy restaurant at the Hume Hotel in Nelson. The food was very tasty. The service was quick and friendly and the meal was reasonably priced! I recommend this place. And Nelson in general has some very good eateries and this is definitely one of them!!! ????????

Lynne Lien

Came here for lunch and we really enjoyed it! We got the daily special and the Reuben, which were both delicious. To finish the meal off we got the lemon meringue pie and it was SO YUMMY! Service was quick and friendly. We also really enjoyed the decor inside. Remember to read the history of the building on the back of the menu. Thanks Daira!

The food is absolutely to die for. Especially the Apple Bourbon pork chops. Staff is very friendly and knowledgable. Minimal waiting times to get seated and served. Minimal waiting times to get food. Great prices for great food. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Vicki Dawn

Staff are pleasant and very friendly. Great food and amazing atmosphere.

Becky B

This was a really neat restaurant and the atmosphere was so cool. Very old school building and the design brings you back to early Nelson settlement. Great food and beer options. I will definitely come back.

Bonni Clark

Discovered this gem by accident but so glad we did. Menu was so good it was difficult to decide. Had very good attentive friendly service from a lovely young man named Gabe. Nicely spaced tables, great atmosphere. Delicious food. Only regret is we didn't save room for dessert but will be back another time for that.

Dirk Jonker

The Hume Hotel has a really good & spacious outdoor patio set up in their hotel parking lot. Live music, great atmosphere, staff do a wonderful job of keeping the beer flowing & cold.

Stephen Box

The prime rib special they serve on weekends is delicious.

The Bravos burger was exceptional! Really enjoyed the substitution of bacon for chorizo chips - still got a delicious taste and crispiness. Great atmosphere. Friendly and professional staff.

Aaron Witt (Herb's)

this is our long lasting standard for going out, reliable quality and excellent service every time. reasonable prices for his higher end hotel adjoined restaurant. great atmosphere and suitable meals for the entire family

Alex Wallis

Prime rib dinner is divine, great service from Richard and Kim, and Dara at the front desk

Eric Klassen

Went for Sunday brunch buffet. Brunch food was good. Long walk to brunch table including many stairs. Almost work up appetite just walking to Buffet. I'm familiar with the old buffet and I don't think there was much different except an added omelet station. Seems expensive.

Dustin Marquardt

This place served up the best hash I have ever had. Thanks!

Brittnee Wallin

Tasty food, good service ????

Raj

Delightful! Cool old building with really interesting old photos (ask your server for stories), mocha was fantastic with real whipped cream (just add a pinch of salt to take it to the next level), vegetable benny was amazing (fried halloumi for the win), and the breakfast sandwich were all fantastic!

Alissa willman

Ohmygosh what a beautiful old hotel with an amazing restaurant with incredible food! Servings were huge so have leftovers for lunch! What I wanted wasn't on the menu but they had no issue making what I wanted. The beef is home grown and my hubby says it was the best beef he's ate in a long time!

Billie Hawthorne

Really friendly staff, great atmosphere very family friendly, vegan options

Jeff

Her breakfast was ok, not great but ok. The environment is great though, thoroughly enjoyed this stay at this hotel.

FUZE BOMB

Within the freshly renovated Hume hotel sits this quaint restaurant. The food scales from fresh modern to classic cusine. My returning fave is the Miso poutine .. Yum.

Jenna Wood

We love the Hume! So much we can eat for being gluten, soy, and dairy intolerant.

Adam Mink

The hume has amazing restaurants and service. Richard will always be our super server. The veggie benny was absolutely delicious, even better once we added the bacon ;) Thanks guys!

David McKinstry

Great eggs Benny. Friendly service!

Rashelle Hole

The food was ok

Katie Berry

Amazing food. I have not been disappointed with any food from any of the Hume's restaurants. Then again I suppose that's because they're all serviced by the same kitchen! :-) They do a phenomenal job and the food is always fabulous. I had the Macaroni and Cheese Balls and they are to die for!

Chris Brach

Excellent service and food as always, but was particularly impressed today by Manuel's attention to detail and commitment to service.

Christopher Inouye

Absolutely loved this place, the atmosphere, service and food were all above and beyond my expectations. We will definitely eat here every time we visit Nelson!!

Roxy S

Nice family restaurant to bring the kids. Everyone enjoyed their food - grilled cheese and fries for one kid, spaghetti for another. I tried a greek-themed skillet for brunch - the sourdough bread on the side was a highlight. I haven't had a similar diah anywhere and would recommend it. Others in the group were happy with the Silver King Clubhouse and Pacific eggs benny (with crab). Fries were crispy. While we waited, there was interesting history to read about for the adults and colouring for the kids. Love the renos and how they have heritage themed items everywhere.

Food was decent but service was terrible. Had a lady that was very abrupt and our experience consisted of this. Walked in got greeted and sat immediately with only 1 other table we could see being used. Hostess was very pleasant. However once we got our server it went down hill as she aparenty knew the other group of people and we heard her serve them enthusiastically with all the standard questions you would expect. Not so for us. Short answers and no do you want anything other then water (only thing we had throughout entire dinner) and we felt very second rate compared to the other table that recieved good service from the same server. Short. Probably wont go back.

Jason Buie

A little disappointed in our recent visit on July 5th. We were really looking forward to trying the eggs benny which came highly recommended however due to the Holiday there were only serving a breakfast buffet. Which in and of itself isn't the issue. My issue was the extremely limited buffet options. Wish we were informed of exactly how limited the breakfast buffet was. (Think worse than a Super 8 continental breakfast). The recommendations we received for the eggs benny will prompt us to try again next time we're passing through Nelson though.

stephanie munroe

Great food

Chris Jefferies

The rock crab Benny was amazing! Great service, friendly staff!

Lara Thiessen

Great breakfast, nice big portions. The veggie benny and stuffed french toast are both super yummy

Judy Mulloy

Delish, well plated food with cheerful attentive service. Classic chose of food along with Kootenay local food.

Boilermaker Things

This place was amazing. Cool old decor, attentive staff,amazing breakfast. I think it cost my cousin and I 40 bucks. Well worth it. Set us up well for an 8.5 hour drive back to Calgary.

Delicious dinner and appetizers. The stuffed mushroom caps are to die for!

Bryan Keep

Great food, awesome service, best patio in the area for covid restrictions

Excellent service!

Danielle Savage

The staff was very polite as we entered. My family and I were given a great table by the window. Chadwick was our server. One of the kids had a tough time choosing something, but Chadwick was super patient, despite the fact he had to keep coming back to the table. The food was delicious to boot. Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch and an exceptional experience. We will recommend you highly, to anyone we know going to Nelson. Thanks!!!!

Overall it was good but not exceptional. The presentation was fair but the quality was just above average. The staff wore faceshields in the seating area and were very friendly. The attention to detail needs work as 1 person in our group got the classic water Glass with lipstick. I felt I paid at the top end for the food offered.

Denis Vuillemenot

Food was good and staff was great.

Shaun Michael

You will never be disappointed with the food, great atmosphere

Chad Chase

John Robb

Always enjoy food and great for kids

dwayne badesso

Service was good. Meals were just ok.

Cameron Salmon

Delicious

Ryan Walley

Went for breakfast, eggs were alright but hashbrowns were obviously made hours before and re-heated. Buy an old phone or tablet so your staff can actually scan and check vaccine passports the way you are required. Not that hard.

Janette Todoruk

Friendly staff, I was craving a BLT. They made it for me even though its not on the menu. Peaceful atmoshepe!

Ren Macintosh

The veggie burger is great & the chocolate cake is to die for

Megan Hackett

Delicious breakfast, excellent service - I believe our server was Beth and she was delightful. The building is really beautiful inside.

JAMES MCDIARMID

I enjoyed the food and staff

Kierra Enns

Boston Madurai

Dinned at the Library for late lunch.Love the deco at this quaint place, great atmosphere. Food and service is wonderful. Thanks to Mia for help selection on the menu

John Campbell

Very nice place for an early Saturday morning breakfast. Try the Kootenay Hash! Large portion and very tasty. Service was attentive and efficient.

Micki

Great service! Good food at a reasonable price...

Barbara

Delicious breakfasts here. You can get gluten free as well, which is rare for breakfast.

Daddy Gunputrao

We were in Nelson for a few nights, we weren't staying at the Hume but we walked up the hill from the water front three mornings just for breakfast and one evening for dinner here - it really is that good! Amazing breakfast/brunch and dinner menus. Incredibly tasty food. Fabulously friendly and professional serving staff. Reasonably priced as of August 2021. Enjoy!

Nathan Wheaton

Great food and atmosphere at the Hume Hotel!

M Foster

Food's great and the ambience is very warm.

Kyle Synnott

Great food and great service. I had the Cod and Fish special, the wife had the Farm House Burger and for the kid a custom order of Turkey, Rice and Gravy. Everything was delicious. Try the Parm fries with the garlic mayo. Out of this world. Very accommodating for our small family. Even had crayons for the little one.

Laura Laing

A bright, energetic atmosphere! Food was great and our server Christoffer was patient, pleasant and friendly! I recommend this spot for anyone looking for a feel good dine out.

Louise

Excellent meal, greater waiter

Oscar Ruutel

I would give it zero stars if I could. I was served a rock solid un edible piece of garlic bread. A main course that tasted like nothing which i didn't eat and asked them to take it back and I was informed that they would take off half of the meals cost. HALF?!?! I didn't even eat it. I was also not the only person in the restaurant to hear something along these lines there was another lady who was unhappy with her meal and they only took 10% off of the meal. I'm sorry this place is pathetic!

Diane matchett

Superb service, great tasting breakfast, warm atmosphere

Chris Zacharias

I don't mind paying a little more for breakfast but this was ridiculous. We paid $16 per plate for a breakfast buffet that wasn't as good as the free breakfast at Holiday Inn Express and had far fewer things to choose from. This isn't my first disappointment at this establishment. I will not be going back.

Jasper Matthias

The food here is always excellent.

C & T Richens

Excellent food and service
