Description: Smack DAB is a lively kitchen and bar located in the heart of Manteo Resort on the shores of Okanagan Lake. Open daily for buffet breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night snacks. Smack DAB is as perfect for a quick beer after work as it is for an amazing dinner on Kelowna’s largest lakeside patio. Smack DAB, offers premium casual dining. Sit in a booth and watch our Smack DAB chefs prepare your favorite item from our forno oven & open concept kitchen area. The room is designed to take full advantage of the incredible lake views from the restaurant and bar, private dining room, and outdoor patio. Large folding glass doors allow for an open-air environment in the summer months. We are equally serious about our suds as we are about our food. We offer Kelowna’s largest selection of craft beer.

First let me say that we were big fans of the Wild Apple Grill and were anxious to see how it morphed into Smack Dab. Second, we are beer gourmets and recently spent a few days in Portland OR experiencing their superb brew pubs and food. Third, we were waiting for our son and his wife to come up from... More

I am SO dissappointed in the new concept at "Smack Dab". I have been frequenting the restaurant for the past 8 years, previously "Wild Apple grill" and am saddened by the new menu. The lunch menu is not very extensive and the "crisy chicken sandwich" that I had was mediocre. I had breakfast today. We arrived at 10:10 and were... More

When several of my friends and I went to smack dab for the first time we were impressed with the decor. It looked really nice and inviting. After we were sat our waitress only gave us one wine and beer menu for the 6 of us and, took off after only taking 2/3rds of our drink order. She had no... More

Smack Dab was open for a couple weeks when we went our first time.The view was spectacular, the food was excellent, and very well presented. Service was excellent! The only thing that brings this eatery down is the portion. When I left the table, I was still hungry. The ribs I ordered came as a beautiful cube of meat. It... More

We went to Smack Dab expecting good food and a lengthy beer menu - the beer menu was acceptable for choice but thee were items that had run out. Food menu limited for choice and expensive. The 8 oz burger was the same size as a Big Mac! The thin Pizza base was how I like it but it would... More

As noted by other reviewers, the restaurant is noisy and the menu is somewhat limited. However, based on our experience, I have to recommend the food and service. We went for lunch and got what we were looking for. My wife eats gluten free meals and there were choices for her as well but not because they were specifically designed... More

This is my second time to Smack Dab which I think is a very strange name by the way! When you exchange the tomato soup for the French onion they give you only half a bowl to go along with the very small grilled cheese. Then they increased the price by $4.00. I don't mind paying the extra but for... More

We have been to Smack Dab three times. The food is very good and the service too, but it's way over-priced. Seventeen dollars for a burger??? And not an outstanding or large burger either. Earl's burger is way better and it's only $13. At a recent lunch at Smack Dab, my friend ordered the onion soup -- she got half... More

I've never written a restaurant review before, but I feel people should be warned of Smack Dab. I was excited about a new restaurant in the area, but my excitement was short lived. It's way too loud with ridiculously tacky decor. We were big fans of Wild Apple. Smack Dab, on the other hand, is extremely overpriced, with sub-par food... More
