22 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ellensburg

“IHB has a real community vibe. Friendly, where all are welcome, where they take beer seriously but don't take themselves that seriously. Great beer, great pizza, and a place where I've had meaningful conversations with complete strangers.“

“I love this place. Healthy, fresh, varied menu for the whole family. Smoothies, sandwiches, coffee, salads, best soups ever, cookies, & sides all have delicious flavors. There's also adorable outdoor eating shed.“

“I ordered several pizzas for my team’s annual (late) holiday party, and they did not disappoint! The pizza was delicious, and who I believe to be the owner who took our order was incredibly kind and thoughtful. We have an employee who is vegan, and he went out of his way to help—he even made one of the pizzas half cheese so they could join in, and then included an additional vegan pizza on the house just to make sure they were taken care of. The service was excellent, the food was fantastic, and the genuine care they showed really stood out. We’ll definitely be ordering from them again!“

“Red Horse Diner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On 9/19/22, I visited Red Horse Diner in Ellensburg, Washington for the first time. I had a favorite restaurant that I used to always stop at in Ellensburg on my way back home, but it closed.  I think I may have found my new favorite. Originally, the site where the diner now sits was a gas station, one car, garage, and home built in 1936. The gas station owners lived on the property as was customary back in the day. The Crossett family purchased the property in 1996 and made it what it is today. Red Horse Diner is like taking a step back in time to a cool roadside diner.  The walls and ceilings are full of vintage memorabilia from the service station’s past.  There are several different rooms with all kinds of seating arrangements.  There is also a beautiful outdoor dining area. Even if you choose to dine inside, you must take a walk through the property out back. They have yard games. You can rent it out for private parties. Red Horse Diner serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  There are lots of options to choose from, but they were best known for their burgers. I ordered The Patty Wagon ($17) - 1/3 lb. Patty with Grilled Onions and Swiss Cheese on Toasted Rye. My server highly recommended the onion rings, so I paid a slight up charge to substitute. It was the best patty melt, and onion rings that I’ve had an ages! Attached to the diner, is the Nodding Donkey Bar. Happy Hour is every day from 12 PM to 2 PM, and again from 4 PM to 6 PM. On Friday nights, they have live music. Saturday is Karaoke Night. In addition to being a great roadside diner and bar, Red Horse Diner is an important part of the community, as the back hall wall, which is full of cards, letters, and other acknowledgments, will attest to. Red Horse Diner is a popular gathering place for a car clubs, motorcycle groups, and families.  Red Horse Diner hosts classic car shows. They have an annual motorcycle event the first weekend in May called The Iron Horse Trail Motorcycle Show, which features live music, motorcycle stunts and competitions. They have a very active Facebook page where they share past and upcoming events. Be sure to check it out. Highly Recommended!!! 1518 W. University Way Sunday - Thursday 7 AM to 9:30 PM Friday - Saturday 7 AM to 10 PM Nodding Donkey Bar is open on Monday from 3 to 11 PM. The rest of the week, it’s open from 11 AM to 11 PM. — at Red Horse Diner.“

“👍great place to eat and drink!“

“I go here all the time and they usually always get my drink right (as it’s a drink on the menu) but that one blonde dude with tattoos on his arm makes it wrong every single time. The first time I just blew it off as a mistake since it was a completely different drink with different flavors. Then the second time I ordered the same drink and he made it wrong again and he made it the same as the last time he made my drink. Everyone else is great and makes it right as I go there often and haven’t had issues with anyone else besides him so I hope he’s making yalls drinks right because he isn’t making mine right.“

“Expensive for crap. Absolute crap!“

“Great spot for some delicious beer. Had the Stumpblower IPA, the Pecker Pole Pale Ale, and the Riggin Slinger Red Ale…all were delicious. Also have a couple non-alcoholic options such as root beer and hop water for those not drinking. Place has a great atmosphere too with comfortable indoor seating, a nice patio, and a food truck outside with delicious options.

Definitely a go-to spot for beer in Ellensburg.“

“Nice place, good food friendly staff“

“Burgers absolutely delicious. Loved the Campus burger specially. However those chicken nuggets were vile, so I gotta take 1 star. Otherwise, everything was perfect. If I lived in the area I would totally make this a regular stop- minus those nuggets 🤮“

“Great little bar. 21 and older only, which is fine as it is a bar. But get a togo if you have kids as the food was great. The potato salad was delish. So were the burgers, I was very happy with my food. Dinged for service only bc we waited for a bunch of bar drinks to be made before we could pay for our togo order, and leave.“

“I just had the Best Spinich and Cheese Quiche I've ever had! The pastry is light and flakey. The Quiche portion is outstanding. Go support this small business. BTW, their pies looked delicious...“

“Perfect dinner experience!! Food was really good and the wait staff wonderful!! Highly recommend!!“

“Every single person that works at this place is genuinely phenomenal and it is a vibe that just screams ..HOME out of your home..so so so cool 😎 love it there“

“Wow! Last nice warm weekend for a while, so we stopped into Dru Bru for some beers after a hike. This pizza place was so delicious. Got the Brussel sprouts pizza with Sriracha honey drizzle which was amazing! Also the prosciutto, white sauce, arugula pizza with balsamic drizzle was so good too.“

“Service: 4.0. Friendly and accurate. Ambiance: 3.0. No problems. Food: 4.5 - 4.5: quiche - 4.0: chicken mozzarella panini. Filling and tasty. Spinach inside. - 4.0: cinnamon streussel cruffin. Nicely only lightly sweet. - 4.5: latte with almond milk. - 2.5: americano. Weak and insipid“

“The new owners of Cornerstone Italian Kitchen have made REMARKABLE changes! The food is deliciously crafted by the amazing cooks, the drink specials by Jensen are magical ✨️, the atmosphere is cozy yet chic, and the service is friendly and warm. 10/10 recommend for everybody; date nights, family fun, big parties, AND catering! The live music in the summertime is a MAJOR bonus, too. 🎶“

“Excellent service sincere warmhearted smiles and quickly served hot delish coffees. (Ps. there’s a long line at Dutch bros just across the road that might be a good wait. So yeah… you made our road trip day even better. Thank you D & M Coffee!“

“I am a returning customer because I love their coffee and food. But also, the barista who helped me was awesome... Today I called them because they made a mistake in my iced latte, and I was hoping they would make me a new one. Not only did they replace it, Jade (the barista who helped me), offered to remake my entire order for free. She brightened my day with her kindness and positive attitude. I recommend this coffee shop because not only are the food and coffee delicious, the service is exceptional!“

“Pedro made my wife and I the best margaritas we’ve ever had yesterday!! I am not exaggerating and neither was my wife. The food was also delicious but the margaritas were outstanding! And they were on happy hour! We live in the Seattle area but we’ll be back! If you go, ask for Pedro to make you a margarita. You won’t be sorry.“

“The sandwiches are on point!! we used to get ours in Seattle and these are better!! LOVE!!!“

“We decided to give this place a try, having heard mixed reviews. Friendly people, good service and the food we had was good. We stopped in during lunch hours, and it wasn't busy, so we were seated right away. Our food came quickly. Prices were reasonable.

Parking: Parking is not an issue.“
