Reviews of Broken Hill (Winery)

Lars Mjaaland

Good burgers here, nice open bathrooms too. Large child portions.

Ivan DeLisle

Awesome location for a bite or a cocktail.

Brian McConnell

Very delicious and well presented food, I am a cook as well so good job. next time I come back to nelson ill be back..mmmm

Paul

Great setting on rainy days, staff smoking hot and great service..

Jessica Sharks

There is absolutely nothing “broken” with this NY styled bar and eatery. Wonderful, helpful service combine with a refreshingly ambient vibe. Food is fresh, tasty, good value and comes in sensible portions. Well worth it????

Cam Brown

Wonderful food, wonderful cocktails, wonderful atmosphere.

Anthony D'Amico

Burger was fantastic, definitely voting for this one. Wait staff were quick and friendly. With such a great bar selection, standard drinks like the Paper plane, Charlie Chaplin, Tommy's margarita... seem to just take up valuable space on the menu that could be used for the unique creations you have like the 'no moaning in the caves' or 'redneck tea time'.

Cj Copeland

Love the atmosphere and burger of the month

Chris Hartman

Great service, food was very good, highly recommend the brisket and ribs.

Geoff Burns

Always great food and service!

Chris Reid

This was my second time eating here. The service was good, very attentive. Food was okay, drinks were excellent. It was a good evening until the bill came, the server had offered my partner a Birthday shot part way through the meal, he agreed but it showed up on the bill $6.50, a shot he wouldn't have gotten if we had know it was not free. We ended up not tipping because of this, so for $6.50 the server lost a 20% tip on a $90 bill. It was a good evening till then just make sure you know what your agreeing to order.

Dirk Jonker

This place is an absolute delight. I walked by and commented to my friend how I bet this place is delicious. Circled back and walked in...oh my did they deliver. If I could give this place 15 stars I would. Truly REMARKABLE.

Love this one. Amazing staff

Jeff Kendrew

Excellent service, decent prices, a really interesting menu, in a heritage building. What's not to like. They also stock a good non-alcohol beer by Central City Brewers!

Anitra Winje

Actually it has Delicious food, lovely ambiance, friendly nature.

Adam Maglio

great service, Northern Exposure atmosphere! Food was average but worth a stop.

Joz Barendregt

Really love the vibe here! The garlic fries are to die for! Just disappointed with how messy my Louisiana chicken sandwich was ???? but will be back!

James Wilson

Wow. 10/10 cocktails and good.

Wendy and Richard Hugli

Food was very good. Used Open Table to reserve our spot. The app asked what the occasion was, we replied birthday. But, sadly no one mentioned the birthday, or attempted to make it special.

Jody Ferguson

Extremely good

Leanne Mireault

Went on a Saturday night. It wasn’t too busy. Live DJ, but the music was nightclub loud. Server kept pulling mask off to speak, which was unnecessary. Expensive for the quantity and quality. Drinks were decent, but was expecting more for the price point. Had a Penicillin and shared a No Way Rose. The Rose was great but barely filled two cups. There was a lot of ice. Food was too oily and salty. Brussel Sprouts came charred to nearly burnt and swimming in oil. Fried pickles were falling apart and over salted. Couldn’t even dip it in the sauce without it breaking into pieces. Chicken wings were decent. The healthiest part of the The starting suggested tip is 18% after tax. I’d rather the cost of a living wage be included in the prices.

Anish Mathew

by far the best restaurant in the kootenays. great beer selection. love all the sours. great food. large portions. great prices. came twice in one day. will come here everytime we come back to the kootenays. 10/10

Jambo S

Beer selection and prices are good. We had a nice waitress start us off and then she disappeared. Around 20 minutes later a waiter came right up to us abruptly with no respect of personal space and was pushy for us to buy more drinks. After we said no and were upset we didn’t see him again until we had to go to the bar to pay after waiting extensively to ask for the bill.

Aylene Tocher

First of all, how dare you! Serve me the best ribs I've ever had and not even advertise that you have SERIOUS BARBECUE. One more time for the folks in the back row: SERIOUS BARBECUE!!! Beer list also very well curated, 24 selections is ample but not overwhelming, and the ribs were the best I've ever had. Did I mention this place should be shouting from the rooftops about their SERIOUS BARBECUE???

Christina Fraser

Burger month burger was a beauty this year.

Amber Rose

Food was delicious! Lots of selections of beers ????

Ryan Coster

Great beer selection & amazing food! We had the Whole Shebang & the brisket was melt in your mouth to die for, and the rest fantastic! Our server Jack was attentive & fun (hopefully that’s your beer mate ????). My only suggestion would be to expand your wine list a bit - so many good BC craft beers could be complimented by some great BC wines!! You must eat here!!!!!

Andrew Pfeffer

Great food. Fantastic service. Family friendly. My kids 8 and 10 loved their meals. I and my wife loved the food and beer. Best dinner out in a while. Well done!

Nicole Perreault

Great food and great space but, unfortunately, really poor service. Might have been an inexperienced server who forgot about us after our first round, but that made it a pretty poor experience.

jayden dickson

Nice setting, food is good (nothing more), but is priced like a Michelin Star restaurant. Seriously, $13 for a small portion of pickled fries and $9 for a tiny dessert, it's outrageous!

Jakob Isaak

What a wonderful experience, our first place after driving 10 hours too Nelson and it was an absolute treat. The BBQ is a must as the brisket and fixings were undeniably delicious. For any whiskey fans what more do you need to know than fantastic whiskey flights.

Kylea Phillips

Dakota Marsh

Great newer restaurant in a great central location! Food and atmosphere are amazing!

Robert R

Overall food and drink experience was great. We went twice during a week in August and enjoyed the great outdoor patio. Downtown Nelson is quite pretty at night on the patio in summer . The chicken burger and pulled pork are excellent with a fantastic choice of sides. This is upscale pub food for sure. My only complaint is that there are no regional breweries (other than cider) represented on their menu.

Corey Yeatman

Wow! So good! Best BBQ I've had. Great service (thanks Quinn) . Great selection of drinks. Thank you!

Werner Hass

Amazing food both times I've been there ill definitely be going back there

João Correia

Best brisket ever!!!!! Amazing service

Darryl Engerdahl

Great drinks lovely staff????

Jason Larry

No one even talked to us for almost 15mins the food was't bad ,ok .

Lee Emory

Best bbq in town

Sara Watney

Great staff and great atmosphere! Couldn’t ask for a better place to celebrate our engagement!! Thanks for the pickle backs!!

Kit LaTigre

Had lunch here today. The staff was courteous and friendly. The chicken clubhouse I had was not equal to the price for sure. It was very dry, on plain sliced white bread and where was the chicken?? Also, took longer to arrive than should have as we were just about the only ones in there…. Suggestions: Try a chicken club and home made fries at “Main Street Diner”. No comparison!!

JuLMi OP

The place looks great, prices are pretty steep, portions small but decent, hard to get service on a slow day

Cameron Reeves

Awesome place! Kind of easy to walk by with a dark exterior that resembles a storefront. The inside is well decorated with clean lines and happy staff. The food is great! The beer flight is $12 for 4-5oz pours. A 16 oz pint runs $6. So be aware, your best deal may be to buy a few pints.

Zubin Tom

Ambiance is good needs some art! Food is mediocre, had veggie burger it was tasteless, kinda soft no texture, fries from a bag. Beer was good service was amazing

Jennifer Vogel

Unique layout and nice place to eat. Bathroom area is all open modern style, not my favorite, but very beautifully refinished.

Willis Gilles

Smoked chicken salad is EPIC

Kyle Litwin

Service and food very good. Good choice of craft beers. Patio was awsome.

Good food on per with other restaurants owned by same people. If you love cantina and yum sum like my you will love this place. Foods amazing. If your on a budget go to smoke house if you want to wine and dine with friends you should eat here.

Michael Hatton

Great place!!

James Zago

I can't say enough good things about this place. The servers are great! The food is excellent. And the drinks... A bar that has pappy Van winkles bourbon.. very rare!

Jesy Mitchell

Excellent food, friendly staff.

R T

Absolutely love this place. Excellent food, great atmosphere. It's usually super packed at night so if you want to show up spontaneously, I'd make a reservation earlier in the day. Some nights it's not so bad, others the line up goes out the door.

Tim Austin

Great atmosphere. Good food

Adam Mink

I work in Nelson a lot by myself and it takes a lot to work up the courage to go somewhere by myself. I finally did and listened to all the recommendations and went to Broken Hill. -they were out of everything but chicken. -the waiter made comments about me eating alone. -i ordered a beer then spent a solid 30 minutes sitting awkwardly while my waiter hit on the table of 4 girls next to mine. -when he finally took my order I had been done my beer for a while. I had planned to order the chicken and have a whiskey flight, but my waiter spent so much time at other tables and sat/fed people that showed up after me, I felt unimportant and didn't want to bother. So I paid for my beer and left. I've never been more disappointed.

Delicious bbq!

Nick Harris

Pricey caesars for a small portion but yummy! Lots of bbq flavour. The jerky wasn’t to our liking but it was tasty. Lovely atmosphere!

Great place to stop for a nice bite to eat. Friendly staff and really nice beers. We had the kids burger, The Cheeky Pig with Mac & cheese, and the Hot Mess with fries. Both my wife and I agreed that the Cheeky Pig was the favourite.

Kristine Mckay

Absolutely amazing experience. Everything met our expectations looking this place up online but the brisket was an unexpected surprise & should be the showrunner.

Bryan MacKenzie

Decided to try it out without looking at any reviews and it seemed like a popular spot with good outdoor seating. We were not disappointed. Excellent service and delicious food. The BBQ chicken and brisket were so good. Oh and Steve the pigeon was entertaining and enjoyed bits of our cornmeal muffin. Highly recommend it.

Amy Wiggins

Good quality burgers!

This was our first stop for food in Nelson and I was very satisfied with the Poutine! Fries and Gravy were fantastic. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated and the bathrooms are beautiful. Staff was very friendly and food came quick!!

aron ashman

I went to broken hill recently and had the most amazing experience. Our server Nicole made sure we were always taken care of and was such a pleasure to chat with as well. Thank you Nicole and Broken Hill!

Judy Mulloy

Walked by and decided to stop in for the happy hour, extremely happy with everything. Old fashioned is perfect and their brisket tacos are amazing. Definitely worth the price

Corey Nolin

Date night with the wife. Cocktails, beef tartare, smoked brisket sandwich and mac and cheese, this place is a gem. Bbq sauces are amazing. Service was great, mentioned they were short staffed but handled it extremely well. loved the feel and vibe. Great job in all categorizes!!!

Kayla Switlishoff

Pretty sweet place. The bacon flight and solid beer list compliment the old brick and butcher shop decoration. I'm pretty sure there's a decent whiskey list too, but I didn't delve into it this trip :)

Russ Thomas

Amazing food and service

Graham Mathers

NELSON BURGER MONTH! Broken Hill entry was delicious!!!

Sue Ripley

Best BBQ in Nelson! The desert menu aka Boubon selection is top notch!

Porter Hansen

Love the atmosphere and open layout. Very classy. Great food, drinks, and staff!

Denis Vuillemenot

Always great food and drinks and fantastic service.

Kevin Wall

This place is always full. A georgeous renovation that a explores the possibility of how space can be used to enhance the dining experience. Drinks are dynamite. Have not eaten here but I've heard raves. Appreciate the compliance with Covid 19 protocols.

Nick Atkins

A must-eat in Nelson! We started with a bowl of Cajun cheddar popcorn then shared the Whole She-bang platter between the four of us. The brisket, chicken and ribs were exceptional and the fries, cornbread and coleslaw that came with as sides were a delight! Also our service was nice and the decor was neat and trendy.

Yang Eric

Food and service top notch. Great beer selection too

Chez

Good food, fast service, friendly atmosphere. Their meats are a must try! I tried half the menu, it's definitely worth a visit. I sat outside (COVID times) but even still it's a lively place, so if you want to avoid noise then maybe try another spot. As a brewery pub it's a great place to meet friends or have a meal, but the food makes it so above par I count this as a proper restaurant (I do not enjoy bar food and am kind of picky.) 5 stars will definitely be back!

abigail rudson

Delicious food and amazing service. My barber recommended I try broken Hill for lunch and I was not disappointed. The bartender was very attentive and extremely friendly. The food was incredible as well. Will be coming back again.

Beth RC

Best burger in town! Great atmosphere and great friendly staff.

Annette Jones

The service was on point the waitstaff was knowledgeable and friendly, but the biggest question is.. Have you ever wondered what an appetizer that's just bacon is like? Well wonder no longer! Grab it and follow up with a plate of BBQ that would rival southern connoisseurs. Chiggity check it out!

Cameron Bond

So impressed with the renovations. Great beer, great atmosphere!

Rae Desharnais

Great place. Wonderful atmosphere. Great service.wonderful decor. They'd ideally an absolutely great job. Would recommend it to those eating out in Nelson.

Nick K

After 3 days of being in Nelson I found another gem in one of my favorite cities (towns) in BC. The food in Nelson is top notch and broken hill delivers big time. The bacon sampler is to die for and the brisket tacos a must have. After 4 cocktails, and I love old fashioned cocktails. This is a reason alone to check out broken hill. The smoked old fashioned is absolutely unreal. The pulled pork sandwich “the cheeky pig” I still lick my fingers, is from another world. An unreal and another unforgettable experience in Nelson and I promise we will be back for sure... Thanks Chad, you’re a real Gem ????

myfukinarmhurts

Mmm so good, and great service too!!

Shelby Goodwin

First time going to Broken Hill and I have to say it did not disappoint! I had the smokin' wings and the brisket with mac & cheese, the wings were crispy and the brisket was ment in your mouth (I accidentally used the back of the knife to cut it and didn't notice until after I got through it) the mac was creamy with bread crumbs on top. Chad was super friendly and welcoming and the food and beer also great! Broken Hill is a welcome addition to Nelson and as a local to the area I will most definitely be returning.

Crystal Johanson

Huge beer menu, and quality food!! They have options to make things vegetarian (like their gravy), and their cauliflower wings are SO good and you get a great size plate, not just a few cauliflowers on it. Great atmosphere and amazing staff!

Shane Lobsinger

Their meet tastes good, but this place is way overpriced! $6 for a handful of fries is outrageous; $18 for some greens with only a small amount of chicken is ridiculous; and then requesting a tip between 18% and 22% to top it off!! Here’s a tip: the tip should be $0 because the food is already overpriced. They also didn’t give any consideration to someone in a wheelchair with dogs who wanted to sit on the patio. They also did not give consideration to our little kid who wanted to eat a sandwich that she brought while we bought food. So we let her eat it outside and still didn’t order any food for her. It would have made a huge difference in our satisfaction with this place. If you’re a childless young adult looking for a place to get alcohol, this may be your place. If you have kids, go somewhere else!

Great place! Great atmosphere! Food was amazing! Lindsey was outstanding! We will for sure be back........many times! The bacon appetizer was out of this world and the ribs were the best I’ve ever had! I would recommend this all day long!

Micheal Soosay

Very clean. Awsome interior. Something you would expect from a top resort. Very quick and attentive service.

Justine Yiu

Food was alright, i had higher expectations for it as the decor is nice. Service was friendly and prompt, but not extraordinary. Go, but you probably won't be overly memorable.

Owen Sutton

Great food, ambience, service. Lots of options for gluten free diet

Amrit S

Good wings, wine and service.

Nathan Wheaton

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. But my cheeseburger was terrible. Very thick and tough patty.

simone parksparkfly

My husband and I were in here this past Saturday evening for a few drinks and dinner. Our server, Meg B, welcomed us with a big smile and a very friendly attitude. She made sure our glasses were never empty and even recommended some menu items to us, which we ordered and enjoyed. Well done Meg! Her attentiveness made our night as we had everything we needed and she even cracked a few laughs with us. Thanks!

Timm Stein

The dirty bird is a great sandwich! Flat lines me on the toilet every time.

Sandy Leo

Delicious!! Had the chicken and hot mess burger. So yummy. Highly recommend the sour x!

Andrew Howells

Amazing experience I recommend the brisket it is superb. The decor is stunning!

Darla Ariss

Best burger I’ve had. Just the perfect amount of smokey, salty, saucy, bacon-sweetness galore.

j murphy

Food is spectacular! You must try the brisket. Atmosphere and quality of finishing from the tables, to bar and even the bathroom is impressive. Staff is cool (Lindsey was excellent). A must try place in Nelson or nearby.

Annie Bojinglejangles

Really liked the vibe of Broken Hill. Had one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had and amazing service from Gaby! If you're in town check this place out.

Tyler Bonnell

Was in there the other afternoon with my girlfriend and the service was really quick and the food was delicious. Ok my comment I have that's negative is the cooks need to remember that it's a open concept kitchen and the consumer will be watching. So wiping your nose or helping yourself to the fry bowl and munching away with your mouth open while cooking my grub well some people may not like to see this. Didn't bother me so much but my girlfriend was grossed out. Being a cook myself and having worked in a open concept kitchen myself I know it can be difficult to be disciplined and conscious of this but trust me you will get lots of complaints and this could destroy your bussiness. Thank you for the good grub and welcome to Nelson!
