The food and service was good until it came time for the bill. I had ordered the game day beer for $10.50 and was charged $11.75. When I brought it to the attention of the server that I was overcharged she argued with me I front of my fellow table mates that it was correct and I was wrong. I then asked to see a menu to show her that I was in fact correct. My other table mates had seen the price of $10.50 in bold black numbers. She did come back with an adjusted bill and said her manager had changed it. She never brought me the menu like I had asked her to to show me that I was in fact correct. I felt like a fool when she challenged me. Left very upset.

Service was slow. Food was good. Compensation for slow service was a dessert i did not want. Im not sure how giving me a dessert, i did not want, that is of poor quality makes up for poor service. The $9 for the dessert was about the same cost as my beer. So i pay the full price and it looks like they comped us a dessert.

My partner Mike and I have had the joy of visiting this wonderful place several times, and each experience has truly touched our hearts. The food always offers us warmth and comfort, and the service consistently makes us feel so welcomed and at ease. This place holds a special significance for me; it was our cherished spot for date nights, and I will forever treasure the beautiful memories we've created here together.

The Garlic shrimp alfrado was watery and garlic toast was stale. The kids portions are super small. The kids food was OK and the kids liked it but it wasn't close to enough. Took 30+ minutes to get our food and over 20+ minutes to get our bill.

Came here for dinner while on vacation, service was great and the meal selection was impressive as well. Ordered from what I'm thinking is a seasonal BBQ menu and the burger was delicious! Wife had the Ultimate Mac and Cheese and really enjoyed it. I would recommend checking it out!

It was unfortunate that their system was down, but the servers did their best to accommodate our group. Patio was okay, but not ideal for a big group, we were separated in a couple of tables. Update: Their little Italy theme foods were amazing. Must try.

The tuna pieces in their poke bowl are huge! The bowl tastes ok, however i think if they modified some of the ingredients and served it in a bowl, the overall quality would be better. The bar atmosphere is nice. Good service. The french onion soup is super cheesy 😋. Also, the tuna appetizer is delicious.

First of all Thank you for the amazing hospitality. Service for us was great even with the huge crowd present. Nachos were just so amazing that I could not stop eating. Chicken was just ok ok and was quite plain which made me wonder that "anyone could make this". Sweet Chilli chicken was another hit and we loved the pork rinds on it. Sides for Nachos were pretty great too. $5 Burger was just amazing and loved that center piece fried chicken. Chips reminded me of Cassava chips but it was quite harder to eat. Fries weren't great especially when you put that buffallo sauce on it. If I wanted soggy fries, I'd order a normal fries from McDonald's. Dessert was so amazing that we badly wanted more. The combination of cheese cake with ginger snaps sort of base and coconut whipped cream top layer was really tasty. Item wasn't great when you think about the contents vs price but the credit is for the idea of that combination. But as I said before, many items reminded me the question - "Anyone could make this, right?". Tip: If you could ask to lower the volume of the performance person, it could really help your customers to feel more taste on their pallet. Maybe slower and calm songs might make the food more enjoyable for us. Thank you

Very friendly young staff member when I called today to see if theyd play Canucks game with sound tomorrow Sunday. An unusual start time of 930 am for my Canucks as on the road and I will be in Kamloops from out of town. Football Sun has taken over and a real shame as that is a US sport and Kamloops is in Canada as far as I still know! I got a NO darn after she asked a manager. A let down so best I can rate is 3 stars! Hockey is still the superior sport to many CANADIANS! In general it is too as much faster! More energy it brings.

Food Poisoning Warning: July 5 We were staying at the hotel nearby so came here for dinner and ended up wishing we hadnt. 3/4 of our party got seafood and it all tasted very fishy and off, we had the cod tacos, halibut tacos, and calamari. None of us could finish our food because the taste was so bad. My husband, who is immunocompromised, became violently ill shortly after eating here. He had only eaten half of one cod taco and he had watery diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting for 34 hours. I also had diarrhea the next morning, having eaten the halibut tacos, and my mother, who had the calamari also fell ill, although neither of us to the degree that my husband was made ill. I reported the restaurant to the local health authority. I dont recommend eating here at all. This ruined our vacation and seriously harmed my husband, who was significantly weakened by the food poisoning and had to have his chemotherapy delayed.

We were staying at a hotel in Kamloops and decided to order some takeout. One of the dishes we ordered had rice and we told them we were staying at a hotel and they did not put cutlery in the bag. We get back to our hotel, and there s no restaurant in the hotel, so stuck eating rice with fingers. I got annoyed with that. I decided to walk across the street to the gas station to get some taco chips that I could use as a shovel for my rice. The food wasn t bad but then I called back later that night to put another order in and told them , not to forget the cutlery this time Explain to them that I had to eat with my fingers and then go buy taco chips to use as a spoon and all I get is OK sorry what would you like to order? The guy honestly did not care at all. Charging Prime dollar for food and don t even even give you the basics and then when your phone they could care less it s just take your money and get out

Good food and good staff. The only very large complaint I have is the forced 18% tip with our big group for our staff party. The forced tip was $150+ The large group should be satisfactory plus any optional tip. We are also forced to tip 18% on the tax too.

I was skeptical to come back here as my last visit we had subpar food and service, (just after COVID openings) but we could not get into Atlas without a reservation last Saturday and the football game was on the TVs so we decided to give it another chance. Glad we did. Neither of us found it easy to watch the game on the corner multi-screen big screen so I would not come back to watch a game. The service we received was excellent and the food was very good. I had the turkey sandwich and it was fresh and delicious. The tomato was crisp and juicy. My husband had a beef dip they customized for him with some sauteed veggies and he was very happy with it. Would recommend for some drinks or a casual meal, especially if you are interested in hitting the casino after.

This was so bad! Table of 6 at 8:30 only table in there after 9pm. The dried ribs were more dry than rib, the french onion soup was poor and the calamari was cold and tasteless and part of the order was wrong. Halfway through the meal (9:40) we were told we would have to be gone by 10 due to minors in our group (16) this was never explained to us at the point of booking. After expressing our disappointment to the serving staff ( not their fault). The manager never came to the table to offer any apology. We had been offered a $10 return voucher for our next meal..... never going back, worst meal I have had in Kamloops for 20 years.

The food is edible but weird and kinda awful. They have an obsession with garlic pieces at this place, even the Caesar salad has garlic. The pizza its deep bath on honey which isnt a nice experience. The waitress forgot about us and our dessert, we had to wait around 30 min until we got our dessert and theres only 6 tables in the entire restaurant.

December 22, 2023

After experiencing such awful service and terrible food recipes couldnt even give a good rating for atmosphere despite having a good layout for a sports bar. Seriously... who puts honey on a pepperoni pizza and makes customers wait over an hour for a dessert. Pathetic.

★★
December 22, 2023

Dined in with 6 people. The pasta was dry. The burger was ok. The fries are soft and not enjoyable. It took almost 10 minutes for all entrees to be served. I think it s open still because of the casino. Duffys is nearby and everything is done right I ll keep going there.

December 22, 2023

We had reservations for a birthday party once we ordered. We had to wait over an hour and a half for our food. I got a beef dip that didn t get any of the fixings that it listed in its description and there was only enough sauce for half the sandwich. Once I was given my glass of water, I tried to order a drink multiple times, but only saw the waitress. Once our food was ready. We also ordered a poutine that was cold and very greasy. When each item is about $22 it was quite disappointing Kid-friendliness: We called ahead of time to ask specifically if it was kid friendly, they did have high chairs, but the straps were broken (so not super safe.) kids are allowed in the restaurant till 10 PM so that is nice.

We come pretty much every week for dinner. We were excited to try the new Little Italy menu tonight. I ordered the garlic Shrimp Alfredo and it was tasty. My husband indeed Nonnas Spaghetti and meatballs. That was not so tasty. There were lots of small pre-made frozen meatballs in the dish but they tasted awful. I had half of one after my not picky partner complained and it tasted like bologna from back in elementary school. If youre going to call it Nonnas spaghetti please make one or two REAL meatballs for the dish. Not my typical experience here. I normally love the food. As usual the service was amazing.

December 22, 2023

Im giving 4 stars for the overall experience. I would give 5 stars if it was just based on the food. Cooked perfectly and delicious. If it were on the service i would give it 1 star. 10 minutes from the time we were seated to when our waitress actually showed up. She only dropped of menus and left. Another 5-7 minutes shes comes back for drink orders. Another 10 minutes to get drinks and finally take our order. Food came out in a timely fashion by someone that was not our waitress. Didnt see our waitress again until we were done eating. Asked for bill and that took another 10 minutes. ** just for a note, the restaurant was dead, over half the tables were empty so there was no excuse for poor service**

We go to match often for happy hour. We were put at a table which was great. We had a large booth for two people. We had the most lovely server. We then had a couple of drinks and a couple of happy hour appies. We then had another server who was super rude and came over and stated we must leave the table as is was reserved. She moved us to another table and said we must leave by 6:15. I then said can you just put us some where we don t have to move in case we stay. She said no. Basically kicking us out. We flagged down our first sever to get the bill as we were not being helped anymore. The first sever asked why we moved and was mortified by the story. I then asked the people at our table if they had a reservation and they said no . So we were booted for them. Not sure what happened but it was not good.

I sat at the bar and the service from the bartenders was very good. However when I got there I stood next to the sign that says please wait to be seated for so long that when I was finally approached by a staff member I was actually on google maps trying to find another restaurant. I bet it was at least 5 or 10 minutes before I had the slightest acknowledgement. I had chicken wings. They were supposed to be hot wings. There was the tiniest few drops of sauce on them. I was scraping the plate trying to find more. The sauce itself was good but it must be very expensive because it was ridiculously spare. If those are your chicken wings please just get them off the menu. Its clear that whomever made them just didnt care. Guys at the bar good service. The server that brought me the wings didnt bring any implements or napkins. Perhaps Im intended to eat them like a dog? The bar guy was able to get me some napkins. Guys at the bar great. Match eatery.... well.... not so much for eating.

This place cuts corners. My tacos were full of cabbage and had 3 tiny pieces of dried chicken. The salsa on the side was watered down and the Cesar was absolutely disgusting- undrinkable. The tiny slice of lemon was dried up and they still served this. Prices do not reflect the quality of the food and I doubt anyone in that kitchen is proud of what they are serving. Do yourself a favour and eat at home instead.

Stopped in on our way through to the island. Really lovely compared to the one in Edmonton, AB. Absolutely fabulous thin crust pizza. Great service!

December 22, 2023

Will never go back. Pizza was inedible. Had 1 piece and told the waitress to throw it out. The steak tasted more like salted pork and it definitely wasnt a prime cut with a tablespoon of mashed potatoes and 4 rock hard carrot pieces for 32 dollars. The worst part was we had a 100 dollar gift certificate and our food came to 68 dollars so they pocketed 32 dollars and to top it off the wife tipped her another 10 dollars for the drinks we had. Definitely feeling ripped off.

Great food at very reasonable prices, the service was fantastic and our server Billie G was super friendly and was constantly smiling and looked like they actually wanted to be there unlike some other places around town. My New York strip was perfectly cooked to my liking and the ahi tuna that came with my wife s order of Cajun seafood spaghettini was done to her liking too! Overall this restaurant ticks all the boxes and having the casino next door is a great after dinner bonus for a bit of fun.. Parking: Hundreds of free parking spots are available

Second time dining in,second time was disappointed. Service was great,however food was inedible. Had the fish and chips,chips were cold and mushy,fish was overly battered and as such was deep fried so long the batter burned and was rock hard. Even the coleslaw was under seasoned and underwhelming.

I really love Match, the food is great (the margarita pizza used to be way better when they used whole cloves of garlic instead of chopped bits) but if you try to order on Skip The Dishes you will probably end up hungry with a refund.

Was with a group so expect food to take a bit longer . My order was wrong but I was accommodating and said thats fine I will eat what was brought out . No apology no discount . Very rude waitress named Marie who tried blaming me for the mix up . Havent experienced such a rude server in my many years of dining out . Also the manager made the excuse that the server was new . All I wanted was an acknowledgement that a mistake was made . Wont be going back ,

Terrible service, dined in for thanksgiving with 6. We finished our entire meals before a steak dinner came out. Server blamed us for putting an order in late, but it was the first order to go in. The manager provided no help when it came to dealing with the problems at hand.

Pretty umimpressive really. Although the service was good the quality of the food was pretty average and the portions were all small. Why is cheese an add on for a burger that costs over $20 and then they forgot to put the cheese on it ? Wont be going back.

My dad and I went for dinner, our order didnt end up getting to the kitchen, the manager went and got our order again, and it came quickly. We understand that these things happen, and they still gave us $10 off, free desserts, and a $10 gift card each. Definitely will go again. Amazing staff.

had a mix up on my skip order, skip didnt even respond so called Match, manager was very kind and apologized. I know stuff happens so I was not upset with Match, they re-did my order and got a delicious chocolate cake as a bonus. Manager was very polite and nice to deal with and I appreciated that. Food was good! Thank you!

One of the best patios I ve been on in Kamloops with good service, lots of TVs, a great menu and bar service that is two thumbs up. Can t wait to go there again!

Waited almost an hour to find out our wings were given to the wrong table. Then once meal arrived the bun was burned to a crisp, but chicken was barely warm. Wifes chicken was also cold. Very disappointed, though server was trying the best they could. Kitchen has been going downhill lately.

December 22, 2022

Ive been there twice the first time the ribs were off, bad or actually starting to rot. The meat was turning green. Today I went the ribs were so over done. That the meat was as hard as a rock. When I complained they asked me if I wanted a job cooking the food. That was a first and the last time Ill eat in that hole. McDonalds is better!

This place is the absolute worst restaurant in Kamloops. Last summer when I had met a friend at match to have dinner I was racially profiled and completely verbally abused by the manager, I knew he was treating me different because of my ethnicity and the way I look (tattoos on my hands and short fade haircut, brown skin) I went to use the washroom and had already paid for my meal and drinks ($70 later even though the food was terrible) Out of every single other person in the restaurant I was the only one he had harassed about showing there covid passport. Even after I had already eaten and paid for my meal and had shown my vaccine card already and had been sitting in the restaurant for about an hour. I watched my friend come back from the washroom and had no problems getting back in, I must have watched a good handful of other people come in and nobody had harassed them to show there passport. He picked me out of a crowd based off the way I look and was completely unprofessional and it was just a disgusting experience. I will never return to this restaurant and I tell every single person I know not to go MATCH (unless you want to be harassed and treated terribly and have terrible food, along with the chance of being racially profiled. All this restaurant ever does to respond to complaints is say We are sorry that you are disappointed but appreciate your feedback. We are committed to providing you with a great experience and hope you give us another chance in the future This place should be shut down.

Worst food I ve ever tasted. I wish I could give it a zero. Burger patties were dry, crumbly and flavourless. Except for a slightly fishy taste . Vile The bun was slightly burned yet soggy at the same time. The Caesar salad was in the same container so it was nice and warm, wilted and disgusting. The other side order was fries, well the half cup of oily, limp, undercooked potato grossness. Awful food, overpriced and not even edible. Would have sent it back but ordered delivery because of being stuck here with a broken leg. So disappointed! Do not waste your money.

Took my spouse for Happy Hour drinks to the Kamloops Matchs Pub at Cascade Casino on Mothers Day. They were advertising a complimentary drink for all mothers on their web page. You only got the complimentary drink if you asked for it. It was never offered by their staff who acted as if they were not suppose to be offering it their customers. It was only a small Mimosa about 2 ounces of champagne and 2 ounces of orange juice. An hour into the Happy Hour which goes from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm daily, we overheard the bar manager announce to her staff that Happy Hour had been canceled for today, reason being that the free Mimosas were costing the Casino too much money today. We were sitting by the bar adjacent to the area where the bar tender mixed drinks and had not seen any Mimosas being served. We complained to the staff that you cannot just cancel Happy Hour without informing your customers. It is advertised on the menu and on their website. No one was informing the customers, we only overheard the Manager telling her staff. Suddenly my wifes wine went from $6.75 a glass to $13.50. I guess Cascades Casino really didnot want to honor mothers with a free cheap drink and that they feel that they can change menu prices at a whim (without informing their customers) even after their customers have ordered and consumed their products. Pretty poor business ethics. Will not recommend anyone going therefor anything unless you like being screwed by the Casino.

We came in for brunch on Mother s Day. I hate leaving bad reviews but the breakfast was so bad I still think about it to this day and it s been a month since Mother s Day. There wasn t one person out of the 10 of us who enjoyed their meal. The hollandaise on my benny tasted like plastic butter. It was served with hash browns that were literally just mccains tater tots from a frozen bag. My partner had Chicken & Waffles and the chicken was soggy like just so gross and soggy and the waffles were dry like a Kamloops summer. Overall the food was just flavourless and awful. Highly recommend another restaurant within kamloops.

Was in town for work on a one night stay. Came to Match Pub thirsty for beer and an empty stomach. Lucked out and waltzed in during happy hour and ½ price wings Thursday. Paced myself and indulged in a couple happy hour entrees, two servings of hot wings and 3 beer. Beer was fine and food met expectations (hot wings werent hot enough for a psycho like me), service was at least on par but not noteworthy. Food took a little long but the place was on the busier end while I was there. Satisfactory experience and revisiting this place is not out of the question.

A bit more than pub food. We were able to reserve a table for 6. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was great. For a pub experience in Kamloops, Match is 5 stars. We left after listening to some live music. Great night out.

December 22, 2022

Service was good but, it took 15 minutes to get someone to come take our drink order and it took 45 minutes to get our appies. We didn t order dinner because it took so long for appies we thought the meal would take longer. I ordered a bulldog and it was terrible, not in a proper glass and the margarita wasn t slushy. It was our date night and we were extremely disappointed. We usually go during the week in the day and it s always amazing. It was busy but not overly and they had lots of staff on. Just disappointing we will do date night somewhere else next time!

Stopped in for a quick bite after getting in late from a long day on the road. Had truly terrible service from the moment we sat down to when we left. food took 45 minutes to come out and when we were finished our plates and empty drinks sat on the table for half an hour as our server did all of her closing transactions. She also complained about other tables and her lack of tips right infront of us. Very disappointed. Only good thing was the wings were very tasty.

Went for a family dinner where mandatory gratuity was added due to the number of guests at our table. Service was very slow which extended our time here considerably and the server mixed up all of our bills. If a mandatory gratuity is being added, they should at least extend another server to ensure the service level stays satisfactory. Slow drinks, missed drinks, forgotten drinks, long waits for appys and food.

Went for dinner on Saturday night around 6:00 pm, restaurant side was full, we got a table in the pub side. Ordered our food fairly quickly, yet waited around 45 before it arrived. I ordered a spicy Hawaiian pizza, claims to come with chunks of pineapple, ham, banana peppers, cilantro, tomato sauce and cheese. Once the pizza showed up at the table (3 other guys ordered pizza as well), it really looked like a badly burnt frozen pizza, and it tasted even worse. I was starving and was not about to wait another 45 minutes to see if the next one would be any better, so I ate this one. I swear there were 2 small chunks of pineapple on it, didn t taste any ham, no tomato sauce, and no or very little cheese, however there was lots of cilantro and banana peppers. This was beyond doubt the worst pizza I have ever had , and my friends all said the same about theirs. One guy in our group had the nachos and they looked quite good, another guy had spaghetti and it also looked pretty good. I only give it one star because of my meal, it looks like there might be other things on the menu that are ok, but it s definitely off my list of places to go.The waiters was very busy, but did a good job keeping us hydrated.

Ate here last night, and let me save everyone the trouble. DONT. Simply the worst over priced food, served in an overly dark environment where the TVs are so bright and the lighting so low, your eyes are constantly adjusting. Seating is awkward and cramped, with live entertainment that added to the train wreck, driving us out before we could finish our meal. Food arrived after a long 1 hour wait, pasta was cold and my rare steak, burnt to a crisp. Everything was bursting with flavours of salt, salt, and butter... And nothing more. Service was spotty and our server never came by once the meals were tabled. If she had, we wouldnt have even been able to talk over the plundering, stumbling rendition of Alanis Morissettes One Hand in my Pocket, and other 90s classics you had successfully forgotten. 2 meals and 4 drinks came to $106, which wasnt even worth half of that. Final take away, we wont be back again.

December 22, 2022

If I could give them 0 stars I would, waited half an hour just for them to take our drink order and when they finally brought them to the table another half hour later the drinks had no carbonation whatsoever, so we sent them back, then 20 minutes passed by and they still hadnt brought our drinks, then finally after 10 more minutes they were brought to the table, so we ordered our food, we waited 30 minutes for them to bring me the completely wrong burger, so I sent it back, half an hour later they brought me another burger which was also completely wrong, at that point I decided leaving was the only option because I wasnt going to wait another half hour just for them to get my order wrong again, definitely will not be going there again, horrible service.

I have to say, this is the second time I have been disappointed at this establishment. This time it took half an hour to get drinks half an hour to order my food afterwards my food took an hour to come out. It was cold,and my friends chicken was barely a chicken it was more like three little pieces cut up, we had no quality check on our food. We had the flag down the other waiter to get more drinks and our food right. It wasn t that busy and we were not the only table in the restaurant to complain!

I went for dinner with a group of friends and all of us had a terrible experience, in terms of food and service both. We are reasonable people and tried to kindly approach the manager, during which we were for one, never apologized to, second, all we received was defensiveness as a response, third, we waited half an hour to order, and lastly the manager NEVER returned back and just sent our bills but was walking around to other tables. Extremely unprofessional. We ate some of the food as we were hungry, but it literally tasted stale, microwaved out of a box, and expired. When we questioned the bills, we were told you ate the food you have to pay . It was NEVER about the money. We pay what we owe but what a rude accusation.

Vegetables are barely cooked, turkey is dry, stuffing is worse than stovetop boxed stuffing, and theres no gravy.

Been on the road for two weeks and I was excited for a decent meal from a high rated restaurant. Tragically disappointed.

An unexpected pleasant surprise with this place. Located in a building with two other restaurants and a casino, this place has something for everyone. I like the sports bar atmosphere at Matchs where they offer a nice selection of appies and full meals. They even had a live band playing the night we went. Friendly staff. Covid compliant. After some eats we tried our hand at some penny slots at the casino and walked away with a couple of bucks. I think we found our new favorite place for Friday night dates. Looking forward to trying the other two restaurants. One looks like semi-formal dining and the other formal with fireside atmosphere.

This was an absolutely terrible experience and meal. This place is either spot on, or absolute garbage. Its ironic that it is located in a Casino because eating here is exactly like gambling. Could be good, could be terrible! After waiting nearly an hour for our food in a very empty restaurant, the food was not only sub-standard, but my Beef Dip was ice cold. After the Cesar salad substitution, the beef dip came out to just over $20. For the price, I would have expected significantly better. The Cesar salad was terrible - who puts balsamic reduction on a Cesar salad?! Fish and chips looked absolutely horrific (was told they were OK but nothing special). The dry ribs looked absolutely pathetic, portion size was terrible for the $13 they cost. They were flavourless and lacked seasoning. Finally, the service was atrocious. The waitress was borderline rude, if not dismissive. We will not be back.
