About this restaurant

EK's Grill is a family-owned American bar and grill. The restaurant gets its name from area restauranteur Ernie Thatcher. However, this isn't Ernie's restaurant. It actually belongs to his two daughters Carmen and Tiffany, who called it EK as a shorter form of Ernie's Kids. These two girls learned how to run a restaurant from their father and are now putting those decades of knowledge to good use at this casual eatery.EK's Grill is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and uses fresh non-GMO and all-natural ingredients in all of its meals. That's not all, the restaurant smokes all of its own bacon, corned beef and ribs in addition to making the sauerkraut, dressing and soup from scratch. EK's even does its own desserts in-house, with custom made ice cream created with no sugar, artificial or otherwise. Diners will dietary restrictions will find EKs also has a full gluten-free menu.

While visiting Kelowna, we were hoping for a really good steak with crab. The reviews/menu are misleading. They have a giant seniors menu, and diner-related fare--but they do not have 3/4 star restaurant quality food. Our hostess claims they have changed the menu since it was posted here. I would definitely recommend to seniors or families. As for the fish tank, my nine-year old said it best when she said "it's not really that great". Unless you're sitting right in front of, pretty unspectacular.

Our server had no decorum and constantly complained about the kitchen staff. She seemed irritable and impatient and her tone was embarrassing as we were treating another couple to dinner

Just had a fathers day dinner there. The service was excellent and the food was very good! Have a very diverse menu that catered to seniors as well. Kids loved the huge aquarium. We will be back!

I had the brunch buffet, something they do every Sunday, and I was very impressed. The food is typically Canadian, with a couple of Mediterranean options. There is a chef at the buffet who will prepare omelettes and waffles to order, and there is a fine selection of food to choose from otherwise (Eggs Benedict, kabobs, corn muffins, bacon, sausage, hash browns, roast beef, fruit salad, cakes, cookies, etc.). Everything is hand prepared and cooked, and the quality of the food is very good. If a buffet isn't up your alley, there are other good meal options to choose from on the menu as well.

Food was sub par very similar to red robin good for kids. Fish tank was neat. But that's the highlight. Can't even make a Mac a cheese, bun on sandwich was stale, not impressed at all. Will not go back not a good dining experience.

Finally, a neighbourhood restaurant the entire family can enjoy! Kids will love the giant aquarium. Couples can easily find a cozy corner for a quiet meal and seniors will appreciate the reduced portion and lower priced menu selections. I have enjoyed two visits thus far; one for lunch and the second for dinner. Service was excellent on both occasions and the menu selections are varied enough to appeal to every taste. I was a little disappointed in my steak sandwich, but my companions raved about their rib dinners. One, who teaches nutrition and food preparation, was particularly complimentary. I'm looking forward to going back to check out their breakfast menu.

Went for their first Sunday brunch and it was amazing. Everything was delicious and the staff was great. Sat next to their fish tank and it was an awesome meal.
