Huckleberry’s Invermere Lunch Menu Highlights
Huckleberry’s serves lunch every day in a cozy family dining room on Lake Windermere, minutes from downtown Invermere, British Columbia. Expect house-smoked flavors, handcrafted patties, and simple plates designed for sharing after a morning on the shoreline or an afternoon exploring Panorama Mountain. Lunch items are available midmorning through late afternoon and often mirror dinner favorites at slightly smaller portions and value pricing.
Signature Burgers and House Specials
Signature burgers are the backbone of the lunch offerings. Beef is local when available and ground in-house for consistent texture. The menu emphasizes balance: a toasted bun, crisp greens, and toppings made from scratch. Popular house specials rotate by season and often feature Columbia Valley ingredients such as smoked trout, local cheddar, or roasted root vegetables.

Soups vary daily but include a reliably rich beef chili and a vegetarian tomato basil that changes texture with seasonal tomatoes. Each soup is made from scratch using stocks simmered for depth, with gluten free bread available for dipping.
Sides, Appetizers and Kids’ Lunch Menu
Appetizers are simple and shareable. House onion rings, yam fries, and a daily bruschetta are popular starters. The kids’ lunch offering is designed for younger appetites with familiar options like mini burgers, grilled cheese, and chicken fingers. Kids’ plates typically include a small side and juice or milk and are priced around 7 to 9 CAD. Portions are sized for children under 10, with nutritional attention to balanced servings.
- Kid-friendly choices include mini burger with fries, grilled cheese with carrot sticks, and pasta with marinara.
- All kids’ meals can be adjusted for allergies and most items are available without nuts.
Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free and Allergy-Friendly Choices
Vegetarian and vegan options are clearly marked on menus and rely on seasonal produce from Columbia Valley farms when possible. Vegan dishes use plant-based proteins or smoked local mushrooms. Gluten free options include salads, bowls, soups, and many entrees on request. Staff are trained on cross-contact precautions for common allergens such as nuts, dairy, soy, and shellfish. For complex allergy needs, advanced notice is recommended.
Daily Specials, Seasonal Sourcing and Homemade Condiments
Daily lunch specials rotate and are announced in the dining room and on social channels. Seasonal items reflect harvests from nearby growers and suppliers in the East Kootenay region. Sauces and dressings are made on site: lemon aioli, smoky barbecue, basil pesto, and vinaigrettes with local honey. These condiments enhance burgers and salads and are available for purchase in small jars on occasion.
Beverages, Milkshakes, Combos and Value Deals
Beverage options include regional craft sodas, rotating local beer on tap, and coffee brewed from a British Columbia roaster. Milkshakes are hand-blended with real ice cream and range from classic vanilla to seasonal berry. Combo meals pair a sandwich or burger with fries and a soft drink and typically save 2 to 4 CAD versus ordering components separately. Catering trays for lunch groups and boxed lunches for meetings are available with advance notice.
Portion Sizes, Sharing Plates and Chef Recommendations
Portions are intended to satisfy most appetites while leaving room for dessert. Sharing plates are suited to lakeside groups; popular shared choices include a sampler of appetizers or a double burger to split. Staff recommendations tend to highlight the Classic with house sauce and the Daily Special when it features local smoked trout or bison.
