    Waygu Skirt Steak
    Aaron W.

    Literally everyone asked about food in Walla Walla said, Go to Hattaways. I can see why Hats has so many fans. We sat at the bar, Libby was attentive and kind. We started with the celery salad which was gorgeous, hazelnuts danced with the julienned celery and the fresh greens were just what we were looking for after a long day of wine. The Waygu Skirt steak was a great entree and the peppercorns were perfectly done, just the right amount. Hattaways was slammed when we were in and I want to shout out the kitchen. From Carlos to the line chefs to the guys washing dishes, you all were rocking.

    Shrimp Rosetto. He loved it.

    We are celebrating my grandson's graduation from Whitman College! This is our last dinner here in Walla Walla! Food was a total surprise! Delicious! We had a private room surrounded by wine bottles. Our waitress was so nice. This is my favorite restaurant so far, having visited Walla Walla for the first time. We were here 4 days trying many restaurants. Food was good in Walla Walla. Thank you!

    Hattaway's delivers on every level. The food is beautifully executed with thoughtful flavors, and the ambiance strikes the perfect balance of warm and refined. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service--attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming. A standout dining experience in Walla Walla.

    Halibut cheeks over grits - avoid at all costs
    Dave G.

    A nice change from the usual fare in downtown- emphasizing comfort food. It mostly works with one big exception. Started with sweet corn beignets that were perfect - moist and hearty at the same time and a guilty pleasure. The sticky ribs were another winner - super tasty with a nice char, and sweet Asian sesame style sauce. The Cucumber Celery salad with poached figs was delightful- drizzled celery was a great compliment to the richness of the wine -poached figs. Where it went awry was the Halibut cheeks over grits (more of a creamy polenta). The cheeks were skillet charred - like no halibut cheek should ever be cooked, as this is a delicate part of the halibut that is easy to overcook. They also had a fishy taste that wrecked the otherwise creamy polenta. The crème fraish addition couldn't save it. It would've been far better with shrimp. Better to stick to the chicken, steaks, or pork chops that merit the missing star. I'd go so far as to recommend dropping the halibut cheeks from the menu as it doesn't work with the otherwise stellar options. Next time we'll try out the other mains. Service was terrific - friendly and prompt, and servers knew the menu and drinks well.

    Carmel Bread Pudding
    Sandra L.

    Beautiful restaurant with pretentious pricing. We strolled in to try their desserts after dinner down at another establishment, based on Yelp review. The hostess was friendly and sat us in their over flow seating area. We visited at 7:30 which is peak Friday night diner, I guess. Our sever was friendly, helpful and patient. We ordered a couple Amaro Nanino (after dinner drinks), a bread pudding and salmon puffs. The salmon puffs tasted very fishy and maybe not so fresh. Not sure where the fish is sourced. The bread was delicious and devoured quickly. The restaurant seems like a local favorite. This traveler is a little skeptical.

    Complementary appetizer their sweet and spicy pickles
    Trisha B.

    Wowza.... I had the best fish of my life at Hattaway's. The southern-style steelhead was absolutely incredible-perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and so fresh. The seasoning was spot on, and it melted in my mouth. The atmosphere was just as great, with friendly service and a cozy vibe. And if you're a fan of dessert, the Heath Bar bread pudding is a must-try- rich, indulgent, and the perfect way to end the meal. I can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back!

    Wine room
    Jesse G.

    Wow, this place is amazing. I made a reservation for four for my wife's birthday and we were lucky enough to be seated in the wine room - a glassed off room where we got to play our own music over blue tooth. It's a working wine room where- servers came in and out to grab bottles when guests ordered them, which was fun to watch. We all had a cocktail and then shared a bottle of wine. The cocktails were all lovely and well-balanced and there was a great selection of Walla Walla wines. We started with the pimento for an appetizer - don't skip this - it was a taste bomb of flavor. I had the pork collar for my main which was awesome with the crispy rice. Everyone else had the chicken schnitzel which they thoroughly enjoyed. We split the bread pudding for dessert which was delicious - hearty and sweet without being cloying. Service was pleasant and prompt. Go!

    AMBIANCE (5/5): We had a group of 7 people and got lucky enough to sit in their wine room! It's soundproof and such a cool vibe surrounded by all the best wines in the restaurant. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. SERVICE (4/5): Service was great! They were very attentive and brought out the food very quickly. FOOD (5/5): $18 STICKY RIBS: They were crispy on the outside & delicious! Felt Asian inspired? $19 ROASTED OYSTERS: AMAZING! I usually don't like hot oysters, but the crispy panko breadcrumbs & mayo aioli were a great combo. LOVED! $15 CELERY PARMESAN SALAD: sounded weird, but it was only HALF CELERY + HALF ARUGULA. Very refreshing. $29 SHRIMP FRIED RICE: one of the BEST fried rice I've had anywhere & I've had a lot! Trust me & order this. $30 UMAMI STEELHEAD: WOW! This was amazing! Highly recommend if you feel like a lighter option. $31 SPAETZLE & SUNDAY SAUCE: this was my least favorite dishes. It was pasta with ragu sauce pretty much. I'd pass on this one. MKT$ BONE-IN RIBEYE: this was good, but I thought the steelhead was better! Just depends what you're in the mood for. Shareable! Ours was 24 ounces. OVERALL (4.5/5): I was HIGHLY IMPRESSED with every single dish that came out here. I literally flew in the GEORGIA the same day I tried this restaurant, found out the owners are originally from Savanah, GA. Opened up this restaurant with a Southern flare and it was better than most of the restaurants I've eaten in Georgia. BRAVO! Highly recommend this spot. Please go here! Keep up the great work. I'll be back.

    In a town known for its fine wines and small-town charm, Hattaway's on Alder brings something unexpected -- a taste of the South polished with Northwest finesse. Tucked just off Walla Walla's main drag, the restaurant hums with the low, steady confidence of a kitchen that knows exactly who it is and what it wants to say. The evening begins with a plate of Frog Hollow tomato salad, a vibrant ode to late summer - thick slices of sun-warmed heirloom tomatoes glistening with olive oil, finished with just enough salt and herbs to let their natural sweetness sing. Alongside, the sweet corn beignets arrive like little golden clouds, crisp on the outside and tender within, served with a touch of honey butter that walks the line between indulgent and irresistible. Salads here are far from an afterthought. The celery Parmesan salad is a masterclass in restraint - cool, crisp ribbons of celery tossed with shards of nutty cheese and a whisper of lemon, refreshing the palate between bites. For mains, the pan-seared halibut cheeks prove why this humble cut deserves star billing. Delicately caramelized, the fish yields to the fork with buttery softness, resting on a bed of seasonal vegetables that taste as though they were harvested that morning. The chicken & grits, meanwhile, is Southern comfort at its most elevated - perfectly fried chicken paired with creamy, stone-ground grits that soak up a savory jus with soulful abandon. And just when you think you can't manage another bite, dessert arrives: the Deschutes Black Butte Porter bread pudding. Dense, dark, and lush with malty richness, it's the kind of sweet ending that makes you linger long after the plates have been cleared -- a quiet, contemplative finish to a meal that feels deeply rooted yet refreshingly modern. At Hattaway's, hospitality isn't just a gesture; it's a rhythm -- one that invites you to slow down, savor, and be reminded that good food, when made with heart, always tells a story.

    Dinner Menu

    Our first dinner in Walla Walla based on Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. 7PM reservation on their street side patio to watch the sun go down. I mentioned my wife's birthday and there was a card on the table and a small glass of sparkling wine at the end of the dinner. Friendly responsive service. Generous wine pour of Chardonnay (on tap) for $10. Sticky ribs were delicious but wish there could have been 6 instead of 5 so we could evenly divide them. 1st 2 courses came quickly but it took a while to get our entrees. The definitely deserve all the good reviews they have received.

    Sweet corn beignets - we already ate two : )
    Kevin E.

    This is my first 3-star rating in quite a while. : ( The food was very good. The sweet corn beignets were so good. Light, not oily, with a wonderful slightly spicy honey butter. The Frog Hollow Tomato Salad had very tasty heirloom tomatoes with a pecan vinaigrette that I ate with a spoon before turning in the plate. The celery salad was unique and delicious. Our entree was the Citrus Glazed Sterlhead which was cooked to perfection on top of a really interesting green (herb) rice. Finally the Black Butte Porter Bread Pudding with a whisky glaze was hot, moist and delicious. BUT the portions were a little on the small side and the pacing was awful. Our salads arrived 95 minutes after we sat down, the entrees didn't arrive for another 30 minutes after that even though we asked our waiter to put those orders in early - while we were still waiting for the salads. The waiter apologized a couple of times but didn't do anything to address the situation until the end of the meal when he brought a champagne toast on the house for the "small hiccup" with our meal. Since we told him at the beginning of the meal that we weren't going to drink that night this added no value to the meal - we left the champagne untouched. While our waiter is not responsible for a slow kitchen, he could have reached out to the manager (who also should have been aware of the situation with the kitchen) and how it was affecting the diners.

In my personal experience, the vibe here changes noticeably from the day shift to the night shift. During the day, the atmosphere has felt family‑friendly, but at night the local crowd has felt aligned with an alt‑right vibe, and the bartender's style struck me as a kind of cosplay‑MMA persona. To me, that combination comes off as obnoxious and made me feel uneasy. I personally worry that some people there might not be above things like vandalism, theft, or even violence -- that's just my perception based on how the atmosphere felt to me. I'm not claiming anyone there committed those acts; the only documented issues from that night were my stolen keys and slashed bike tires, which I reported to police. I think this place is fine for monthly theme parties, and it feels family‑friendly during the day. But at night and on normal weekends, I personally feel much safer and have more fun at Beer Parlor or Public House. Food is fine, and most of the staff seems good in my experience. It says "bicycle parking," but I personally would not park my bicycle here after dark. My bike's tires were damaged on a previous visit, and I don't want that to happen again, so that's just my personal caution..

They even helped us move to a larger table when they realized we ordered more food than would fit comfortably on the first table we were sat at. And on that note, the food portions are HUGE. We both ordered an entree of the Homestead benedict but then ordered the famous apple pancake to split. We definitely would have been fine splitting both dishes as the portions are super generous and we ended up having to box some for later. The apple pancake is massive, sweet and very tasty! It's closer to a cake than a pancake, just in thickness, but if you have a group of folks with a sweet tooth, I highly recommend getting this! Overall, this is a solid spot for brunch in Walla Walla!

I grew up in the South and was very happy to see Ann's specialized in Southern / Cajun / Creole food. Several return customers were inside raving about how great the food is here. They are open for lunch between 11am -2pm, but the amount of each entree will definitely keep you full through dinner! I ordered the Cajun-fried catfish po'boy with a perfectly crisped batter outside, tender fish inside, and a remoulade that tasted straight from NOLA! Just the right level of spice! It was so large I had to take half home - but partly because I also ordered the hush puppies and a side of the red beans and rice - both of which are Southern favorites. The hush puppies were some of the best I have had with a deep-fried cornmeal crust and soft inside with a sprinkle of jalapeños. The red beans and rice were spicy, and so delicious that I spent a few hours that evening finding a good recipe to make it at home - though highly doubtful it will measure up to Ann's!
