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!”

“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.”

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

“I love everything about Daily Bread from their sandwiches (Gobbler is fantastic) to the smoothies and the dry goods... oh all the lovely herbs & spices!! Love this place!!”

“Brewster’s has wonderful food & of course coffee. Although space is limited & fills up quickly, the service is excellent! I highly recommend!”

“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. They offer food too and the tacos were home-made and really good. Highly recommend a visit here - we had a really enjoyable evening.”

“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.”

“amazing tacos. the chicken tacos are amazing. and I tried the tongue taco. first time having tongue. it was so delicious”

“The new store manager ROCKS!! Since the new store manager started, the service and quality of food has been AMAZING! We order lettuce wrapped burgers and they are delicious. Before the new manager we had stopped going because it honestly was horrible. A couple months ago we decided to give it another try and we were pleasantly surprised. And every time since, it’s been the same great service and quality. The new manager came to Ellensburg from the store in Union Gap, WA. We always had stellar service when we stopped there after our Costco run. We are so happy to now have him in Ellensburg.”

“good food friendly people Truck parking”

“Cant stop eating here. Nice staff and great food”

“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”

“Stop here while in ellensburg and always love to try local burger joints. I got the campus burger it’s was cooked perfectly. Onion rings were made fresh and tasted awesome”

“We had a variety of appetizers, sashimi, and sushi rolls. The eel rolls that come with the bento box A was my favorite, though we also tried the scorpion roll (great if you’re the type that likes rolls spicy with a sauce on top) and an interesting eel one wrapped in cucumber which was a little sloppy to eat but really enjoyable.

Of the appetizer options, the seared tuna was my favorite.”

“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.”

“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.♥️♥️♥️”

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

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

“Expensive for crap. Absolute crap!”

“what a great place had amazing food and the waitress Jazmin was super nice knowing it's my first time she recommend really good lo mein what amazing 👏 service”

“So amazing and such a sweet lady 💕💕💕”

“Love coming here when I come into town to visit. My favorite bartender by far is Keylara !! She is always so kind and attentive to our orders even when it gets crazy in there.”

“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.”

“If you're looking for a great place to stop for coffee, look no further! The staff are great communicators, always friendly, and the drinks are consistently "out-of-this-world."Well done, thank you!”

“The only place we get coffee in town! The owners are the BEST!”

“Be careful! I ordered the gluten free chicken strips. When I double checked with the server before eating I was told there isn't a dedicated fryer, which means no gluten free chicken. Maybe gluten friendly chicken is a better name. Always double check, even when the menu says gluten free! My husband said it was all delicious though!”

“The new grilled turkey sandwich, freaking delicious! One of the best specials! Always delicious even when delivered and the friendliest staff. Always a regular dinner pick for us ❤️”

“Love this place. Go there with my family when heading to eastern Washington. The vegetables are fresh with a tasty seasoning. Top notch chicken fried steak. 👍”

“The best pork carnitas ever tender and great flavor. Good service friendly staff love this little restaurant 🤗”

“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!”

“Just what I needed...a fantastic coffee. Barista is sweet and friendly. Be sure to look at the online menu because their menu has specialty drinks you shouldn't miss.”

“Friendly & fast service… sometimes. I’ve recently had a barista that’s not a fan of her job or something? She always looks cranky. I was in recently & in a rush because I had a cab coming. She decided to make my drink after the customer’s drink behind me. I was a little shocked & pressed for time. Once the drink was handed to me, it was overflowing. {Frappuccino} & when I put the lid on it made a huge mess that I felt obligated to clean up as I’m looking at the cab outside the window & barista was on to a new drink order. Get in the cab after waiting over 10 minutes for my drink, taste my drink, it had zero flavor. I tried to pass it off to my 18 year old daughter- she loves Starbucks- she said it was a hard pass as well because it had no flavor. This is definitely not the first time that this has happened at this particular Starbucks & they don’t quite follow the recipe rules that Starbucks have & you sometimes get a bad drink. I’m not afraid to say something but this time was in a hurry. These drinks aren’t exactly cheap so it’s nice to have them made right like I’m used to over on the other side of the mountains where drink recipes are strict.The rest of the baristas are always kind & friendly & mostly will go out of their way for you. I also think that this is the best store to get new inventory. I have always been able to find the best tumblers here & others items like my new keychain. They seem to replenish inventory quickly. Overall this is a good Starbucks but it would be nice if recipes were followed to a T as expected by Starbucks… even if it takes a minute or two extra of the baristas time.”

“Great little food truck located at the Whipsaw Brewery. Ordered some wings, fries and a burger to eat while drinking beer and watching the Mariners in the brewery. Friendly service, food was quick, and delicious.”

“The masa used for the tamales is the sofest and smoothest I have ever had. The tamales are packed full of filling, no skimping. Yummy!”

“Natural food and large selection of fresh veggies. They even have gluten free wraps for any pita on the menu. An awesome fast food option.”

“Las gorditas are sooooo good and very good but big .! :D”

“We have always eaten in the bar with Jensen as our waiter. He is amazing. He always makes us an excellent drink. He makes the experience enjoyable. The food is awesome.”

“The woman working the kiosk stand is amazing very helpful and I'm sure is a wonderful mother. She has top-notch service and there was only willing to help above and beyond. A+ Plus the food is like any other place but sometimes it's the people that make it.”

“Very friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, excellent coffee and my wife loved her London Fog. And what took me by surprise is how well made the burritos are - fresh ingredients and nothing greasy. I highly recommend this place.”

“They have the meats. But their fries aren't bed either. Shakes and chicken sandwiches hold their own too.

Parking: Parking is easy.

Kid-friendliness: Jr. Roast Beefs all around!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps, wife does, and big tales. No worries.”

“I grew up in Arizona. I know what authentic Mexican food should be. This place is authentic! The food is good. The service is amazing. It's always clean with friendly service. Ask your server what they would recommend. If you don't like it too spicy, they can accommodate special orders. It's also possible to call in an order to pick up. What's not to love?”

“Loved the ice cream and excellent customer service”

“Amazing dinner!!! Delicious!!”

“Convenient. Service was super fast despite the line and lunch hour. Wenoha and Jasmine were the best part of our pit stop. They were both very nice and professional. Their customer service made for a great lunch on our journey. Very efficient and service with continuous smiles.”
