The Best
Like stepping into a fifties cafe. The food is absolutely amazing and meals include soup/salad, entree, rolls, dessert and coffee, all delicious. Homemade desserts are usually a cobbler or homemade pudding, yum and soups are to die for. I love this place and when in Penticton eat there almost every night. No need to go anywhere else. Less expensive than fast food! This place is a definite must-try, you will not be sorry.    [20 Apr 2004 02:34:26]

I haven't been back ...
I've been going to the Elite for 50 years, met my husband there 40 years ago. So, I was worried about changes when it sold a few years ago. The first few visits were okay although little things were different (and not better). My fourth time happened to be during the Elvis Festival at about 11:30 a.m. I was in a rush and intended to be out in 15 minutes so I ordered a sandwich and coffee. Also, I had a backache and needed to sit down comfortably so I picked sat a booth for four. The new owner told me "I have to move you" and pointed to a table for two in the path of servers racing by and crashing around with coffee, etc. The place was close to empty but an Elvis impersonator was coming for the lunch hour so I suppose he was expecting an influx of customers. I said, "maybe I'll just cancel my order". And he said, "whatever" and walked away.

Bloody cheek! Of course, I'll never go back. I've introduced hundreds of people to the Elite over the years but never again. I really miss Gus, George, Dino and the rest. They were nice people who cared about their customers. Even the waitresses, some of whom had worked there for many, many years, seem to have been driven out.    [09 Sep 2006 17:20:03]

Would never eat there again !
I was there this fall and the people were not as they once were. I grew up in Penticton in the 50's when it was a true small town atmosphere but the new owners don't seem to have that attitude about customers anymore and just in it for a money grab. The lights were nice to see again but that was all. I speak for a whole group of baby boomers that once loved the old cafe. Very sad. RM    [06 Dec 2007 13:19:43]
