Restaurants in Ellensburg

“Our company has the Managers retreat here every year. They feed 40+ hungry managers 3 meals a day for 3 days. Every dish is prepared to perfection!! I already can’t wait for next year!”

“Delicious food and amazing service. Dalton is an absolute rockstar server. I had the wings and hubby had the prime rib sandwich and we both couldn’t get enough. Oh and the fries and fry sauce is not to be overlooked.”

“Wine was quite good. Personal pizzas were very tasty and a perfect size. Desserts were delicious and very generous portions! Vibe was relaxed and nice. Will be back!!”

“Amazing food that never disappoints! The fresh sheet with seasonal dishes gives you a chance to try something new from the chef. The rissotto was to die for! Good cocktails with unique flavor combinations too. The ambiance is romantic; we loved the dark old wood. Our server was attentive, but allowed us to talk and have a romantic evening without too many interruptions.”

“We ate lunch on Monday. Great pasta as well as fantastic fish & chips. Wonderful service!”

“Brosky's Food Truck is amazing in so many ways! I had the pleasure of working with Todd, Chef Extraordinaire, for a wedding this past weekend. As Wedding Coordinator for this event I can tell you that Todd was easy to reach and responds promptly to questions. Brosky's arrived at the venue exactly on time and dinner was served exactly on time! Dinner was absolutely delicious! The family had ordered pulled pork and chicken sliders with baked potatoes. The smoked garlic compound butter that I put on my potato was divine! Brosky's food and service was perfect in every way. Brosky's gets five stars from me. Rock Star service! Carry on, Brosky's!”

“We ate lunch on Monday. Great pasta as well as fantastic fish & chips. Wonderful service!”

“Had a great walk and wade on the Upper Cle Elum yesterday with Ashtyn. Found fish, including a cutty. Missed some but netted and released enough for me. Scenery was fantastic. Great experience. 👍”

“Great live music and tasty spirits!”

“This is the absolute best bar I've ever been to in my life. Coolest concept ever, tons of free games(including almost every childhood favorite from the 90s/2000's), affordable drinks and super friendly service. 10/10 highly recommend especially if you want to go out but dont really dig the aloof bar atomosphere.”

“The beginning of our visit was ok, our first server Laine was ok. She never asked us what type of hefe we wanted and the glass we got was chipped. But all that was reconciled when Hannah came in. She made us feel like part of the family and hosted us perfectly.”

“Had a delicious burger! The KoKo burger was delicious and the sidewinder fries topped off the plate. Highly recommend the food💯”

“While I could visit here every day I usually stop by for a loaf to go with a weekend recipe. The worse thing I can say is that I never leave with only a loaf. Whatever you choose it's delicious and you can't go wrong. Service is always friendly and quick. This is one of the businesses that makes me happy to live here. Thank you Vinman's!”

“Long time fan finally visiting the taproom. I feel like a bandwagon fan since I only knew about their dark beers and the IPA. The taproom has more choices including 3 ciders, pizza food truck outside, and plenty of seating. Cool space, worth a repeat visit.”

“Eating here is always a great experience when it comes to the food. I do wish they had a bigger kitchen and dining space to accommodate the crowds. But it's a reliable favorite of my family's for breakfast/brunch/lunch and we love having such a fun place with outstanding food to get us out of our daily routine once in a while. They have a kids menu too, which is great for when my little boy isn't feeling adventurous. Everyone is super friendly and low key. You won't be disappointed, if you can find a seat.”

“We had a fantastic lunch here. The food was delicious and served quickly despite how busy they were. Highly recommend.”

“Delicious pizza! Best in town, and quick pick up!”

“I gave you 5 stars. However, I was extremely disappointed 😞, we drove two hours to meet someone to give them a puppy. It was Sunday and unfortunately you were closed. We hopefully make it here another time.”

“Brought a friend here for his first time. Food didn't disappoint. We had the tipai chicken wings , combination fries rice, broccoli beef and the kung Pao chicken everything was delicious. I had an Asian tea it was yummy”

“Expensive for crap. Absolute crap!”

“I just love coming to this location. I live 26 miles away and worth the trip. I only go about once a week, however they always remember me & my drink. In a world where businesses (their employees)have forgotten how important to their bottom line, this one hits the nail right on the head.
They genuinely seem to care about you & how you may spend your day. (They always ask are you doing anything fun today) For the most part most all their staff is about college age. It's nice to see how kind they are.
Love, love, love ❤️ ❤️❤️ These broistias!!

Kid-friendliness: They always will give an extra sticker, for my 3 year old granddaughter. Always brings a smile to her face.And don't forget that they have something for our favorite 4 legged friends.♥️♥️♥️”

“No one ever picks up the phone when you try to call ahead and there's also two different numbers. It's really frustrating when I need to call in an order and I can't reach anyone. It's a shame because the food is good.”

“Amazing short ribs, macaroni was surprisingly fantastic, the jerk chicken was moist and flavorful, 100% recommend this place for anyone looking for an original delicious menu!”

“Always a vibe. I only go maybe once a year, but am never disappointed with the food or there service. Everything is homemade and it shows, their fry sauce is my favorite thing on the menu 😂. 10/10, always recommend.”

“The breakfast ham and cheese biscuit is delicious. Also the sour dough bread is great with wine and cheese. I’ll be back!”

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

“Order a pizza to made and take it home to bake for the family. Love it. The workers are friendly, quick, and skilled to make your orders. Their deep dish and specialty pizzas were especially good. Avoid the salads though there aren't as fresh as I'd hope for.”

“Stopped here in Ellensburg for the last 2 days of our vacation in Washington State/BC before heading back to the UK - loved the beer, the atmosphere and the welcome from the staff.

“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.”

“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!”

“Delicious, large plate of tender teriyaki chicken with two generous scoops of rice for less than as $20! Iceberg lettuce, simply dressed was the side - would love to see a fresh cabbage mix to stir in. Kind and efficient service with a smile. Would eat here again. Thank you!”
