🎿❄️ Cypress is getting ready for ski season—and we hope you are too!

We’re hoping to keep MAK ’n JAK Grub Hub open throughout the skiing season, as long as Mother Nature sends us enough snow to keep the Hidden Valley Ski Resort operating! ⛷️🏂

After a great day on the slopes, stop by the Grub Hub to warm up, grab a bite to eat and enjoy a delicious hot chocolate. 🌭☕️

Think snow—and stay tuned for our winter hours and updates!

🐾💜 SAYING GOODBYE TO PART OF OUR GRUB HUB FAMILY 💜🐾

As summer winds down, we’re a little sad to say goodbye to so many of our summer staff as they head back to school, off to college, back to other countries, or on to whatever adventure comes next.

Thankfully, we still have enough of our crew sticking around to keep the MAK ’n JAK Grub Hub going—but we’re definitely going to miss those who have moved on!

We thought about naming everyone one by one... but they know who they are, and we figured we’d save them the embarrassment. 😂

To each and every one of you: THANK YOU! 💜

Thank you for being part of our very first summer in Elkwater. Thank you for the long days, crazy busy weekends, laughs, learning curves, dishes, pizzas, ice cream, customers, cleanups... and everything else that came with helping us get through Season #1!

We wish all of you GOOD LUCK in the months ahead with school, work, travel and whatever comes next.

And hey... if you’re looking for a summer job next year, you know where to find us! 😉🐾

Cypress also wants to send a very special Grub Hub Cub Goodbye! 🐾

He claims he personally trained every one of you.

We’re not entirely sure what he trained you to do... but apparently it involved stealing fries, licking plates and napping on the job. 😂

Safe travels and good luck, everyone!

💜 From MAK, JAK, Cypress & the entire Grub Hub Team

Cypress, the grub hub cub said that he can't identify the cougar but is pretty sure it's not his mom!!

📣 A QUICK NOTE ABOUT OUR GOOGLE HOURS! 📣

We’ve made a small change to our Google listing that we wanted to explain so nobody gets confused!

Our General Store is STILL OPEN UNTIL 9:00 PM on Fridays & Saturdays. 🛒

However, we’ve changed the closing time shown on Google to 8:00 PM because we were finding that quite a few folks were arriving after 8:00 PM expecting the Restaurant to still be open.

Unfortunately, Google doesn’t always make the difference between our Restaurant and General Store hours as clear as we’d like!

🍔 RESTAURANT HOURS
Thursday – Monday
🕛 12 Noon – 8:00 PM

🛒 GENERAL STORE HOURS
Friday & Saturday
🕘 Open 9:00AM until 9:00 PM
🕘 Thursday, Sunday & Monday 9am to 8pm
🕘 Tuesday & Wednesday - 9am to 7pm

So YES — if you need ice, snacks, drinks, groceries, camping necessities, ice cream or other goodies on a Friday or Saturday night, the Store is still here for you until 9!

The Restaurant kitchen and dining service close at 8:00 PM.

These hours will remain in effect through at least Labour Day Monday, September 7, 2026.

After Labour Day, watch our page for our Fall Restaurant & Store Hours. 🍂

Thanks for helping us spread the word — and hopefully this little Google adjustment saves someone a trip expecting supper when Cypress and the Restaurant crew have already called it a day! 😂🐾
