It’s incredible what’s happened in Prince George’s restaurant industry in the last few years.
It’s a tough, competitive business and every customer that walks through the door expects top-notch service and quality. When they don’t get it, they take to social media to tell their friends and the world to avoid that place.

Yet Prince George is obviously hungry for lots of different eating experiences. Just look at the variety of places available. It’s a smorgasbord of options, from family diners, locally owned and operated restaurants and some popular franchises.
If the restaurant business is growing in any city, it’s a sign of a strong local economy and confidence from investors and entrepreneurs that the economy is going to stay strong for the foreseeable future.

The eating experience available just in the downtown alone is as good or better than anything available anywhere else in B.C. For those looking for a fancier and more formal lunch...
