Every summer a buddy and myself make a 4+ hour drive up this way to do two things. Go to Summerland Sweets to stock up on Jam and Syrup for the year and most importantly, get brunch at Terry's.
Terry's is something special. You look at this place from the outside and you think "Greasy spoon" there is no hip trendy decor inside and the logo looks like it was done in Windows 98 on paint. But something about this place hits like nothing else.
I have had fondue in the Swiss alps, I have had kangaroo beet burgers Down Under, and veal schnitzel in Austria, but do you know what rises above it all? Terry's.
I am dead serious, I don't joke about Terry's. There is something about this place that just clicks. I am not a religious man, but I worship Terry for bringing this otherworldly experience to mankind. The world does not deserve this place, but it is a gift the brunch gods have bestowed upon the undeserving.
If this mysterious Terry appeared and started a cult, I would be their right hand man, first inline at the Kool-Aid Bowl. If Terry told me about an awesome job opportunity where I could work from home, set my own hours and have the potential to make 3 figures, I would go to the meeting he/she told me about. If Terry played hockey, he/she would break Gretzky's points record. Guaranteed.
I Strongly recommend the Benny, and the shredded hash browns are world beaters. Long Live Terry's Comfort Food...
Read moreOur experience at Terry's Comfort Food with Attitude was unfortunately disappointing. It was our first time visiting, and we were looking forward to a hearty breakfast. However, the meal fell short of our expectations.
We ordered the scrambled eggs with shredded home fries, toast, and coffee. Surprisingly, the breakfast lacked any meat inclusion, which was unexpected for the price point of nearly $16.00 per person. Moreover, the scrambled eggs were served more like an omelet and thinly cut, which deviated from the standard scrambled eggs preparation we anticipated.
When we raised our concerns, we were informed that this was how they served scrambled eggs, which left us puzzled. It might be beneficial for the establishment to revisit the definition of scrambled eggs, as it differed significantly from what we're accustomed to.
The total bill, including tip, came to $44.87 for two people, which felt excessive for the quality and portion size we received. Regrettably, this experience has led us to conclude that it's unlikely we'll return. We had hoped for a more satisfying breakfast experience given the reputation, but unfortunately, this fell short of our expectations.
Overall, our first visit to Terry's Comfort Food with Attitude was underwhelming, and we won't...
Read moreAfter being totally stunned by the menu prices and the couple of flies buzzing around the table we thought, "I'll bet it will be real good at these prices" we pulled the trigger and ordered from the menu that listed a cup of chili and a piece of toast for $16.99. We were looking forward to a comfort food breakfast but we were so completely disappointed. I ordered a couple of eggs, sausage links and well done hash browns with an English Muffin. The muffin was cold and did not include butter (I had to ask for butter and I wondered if I would be charged extra), the sausage tasted like cardboard and the hash browns were dry and undercooked. Bad rock and roll, blared from an equally bad radio in the kitchen, which was open. My friend ordered eggs Benedict on ciabatta, it was not toasted and had a very slim slice of tomato end that still contained the green stem. The hollandaise was cold, flavorless and her hash browns were dry and under cooked. The server seemed mildly apologetically friendly, the focus of the staff was primarily on getting the check paid. It was a $40 lesson, without coffee, in where to eat breakfast in Penticton. I overheard the manager tell the cook "less is always more". In this case I...
