About Hot Spot on 6
Roadside dining rooms work on a different rhythm than places tucked into a shopping street. Traffic sets the pace, parking is usually the easy part, and the crowd is a mix of people who live nearby and people passing through with somewhere else to be. Hot Spot on 6 takes its address at 2601 6 Hwy in Vernon.
Menus in this part of the trade tend to be built for range rather than for a single idea, which is what makes them useful to a table where nobody agrees. The details are worth confirming before you drive over: whether the kitchen runs takeout alongside its tables, whether there is a break between lunch and dinner service, and how late the last order goes. Kitchens in the North Okanagan also shift their hours with the season more than city restaurants do, so a call ahead is never wasted, particularly on a shoulder season weekday or anywhere near a holiday weekend.
Vernon sits at the north end of the Okanagan where the valley opens out and the vineyard rows give way to hayfields and pasture, and the highways through town carry a steady mix of local work traffic, farm traffic and summer visitors heading for the water. That mix is what a place on a highway frontage feeds. Come winter the through traffic changes character again, with the ski hill on the skyline putting a different sort of crowd on the roads and the cold making a hot lunch a more serious proposition.
