Is Fat Jack’s Homestyle Diner and Pub worth the drive
to Boston Bar?
Absolutely!
Todd Baiden in 2014 bought a run down restaurant and motel, Mighty Fraser Motel, right on the Trans-Canada Hwy. north of Boston Bar. He spent months completely renovating the restaurant and motel
Mr. Baiden has brought years of culinary experience with a background as a chef in Vancouver. He also ran a successful underground restaurant for five years also in Vancouver.
Fat Jack’s Diner is open daily 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and serves all-day breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu boasts a wide variety of dishes, everything from appetizers, soups, and salads to sandwiches, burgers, steak, chicken, ribs and spaghetti with handmade noodles.
Fat Jack’s has daily specials, espresso, homemade pies and desserts. The restaurant also has a liquor license, take-out menu and catering options available.
Fat Jack's Homestyle Diner and Pub prides themselves with handmade "everything" well except the bread. Mr. Baiden has a huge vegetable garden and numerous fruit trees and berry vines near the restaurant making for easy pickin' throughout the growing season.
We were heading south from Lytton towards Hope and noticed Fat's Jack's and the $3.99 breakfast sign that was too tempting to pass.
We were greeted by Todd, a talkative sort, telling us about all the renovations, homemade pasta and of course breakfast.
Wondering what to expect for $3.99, and when we were brought our food we were surprised how much food was on the plates. The breakfast was excellent and would stop there again, when ever remotely close to Boston Bar. BTW: the catsup was added later and all the pepper scattered on the plate. It is a Keith thing.
