We wanted something relatively quick and easy in Penticton for lunch so we decided to check out Loki’s Garage. They’re a bit hidden/off of the main drag.
Sign outside.
We dropped in around 1:00pm and snagged seats on one of their outdoor picnic tables. Our server was friendly but beware, they don’t inform you of the automatic 18% gratuity on the bill. Nothing on any of their menu’s state that either. Super unimpressed because we ended up double tipping.
Menu consists of appetizers, hot sandwiches + burgers, cold sandwiches and salads.
They also have a brunch menu (weekends only from 9:00am to 1:00pm) and drinks.
Rocking horse caesar ($8.25)
With horseradish and pickle juice. O is a picky drinker but he said it wasn’t half bad.
2x Weezy wings ($12.00)
Our group shared one order with a dill dip ($1.00 extra). The wings were not good; dry and almost tasteless.
The louisian style hot sauce they coated the wings with was bland.
Seattle fries ($6.00)
Fresh garlic and parsley. Found these oversalted.
4x Pastrami ($15.00)
Pastrami, gruyere, pickle, sauerkraut, garlic aioli and dijon on potato buttermilk bread. We opted for the kettle chips (made in-house). A touch of a peppery Cajun note.
The pastrami had a good sauce and the cheese complimented the meat. The bread was well buttered and had a crunchy bite to it.
Closeup of a side salad order ($2.50 extra).
Choreazy ($15.00)
Chorizo, arugula, tomato and Loki’s sauce on a ciabatta. We went with the daily soup (chicken and rice) which was delicious.
Homey and comforting, something your mom/grandma would feed you.
The chorizo was homemade but flavours were a bit mute. An okay sandwich that we didn’t particularly love or hate.
Food was decent but can’t get over the shady practices.
