If you're like me, nothing beats a great steak, but a great steak is few & far between. The ambiance of this place is nothing to write home about, but the food is awesome. The steaks are always perfectly cooked, the service is great, and the drive to-and-from really seals the deal. Not kidding, I once drove over 100 miles to come here on a whim with some friends. No regrets. read more

Ordered my porterhouse to go. I wanted medium rare and wanted mashed potatoes and got fries. The steak was not medium rare but it was well done. Grey and tough. If I was eating there I would have sent it all back but was a Togo order and did not look at it until I got home. Terrible quality.$50 dog food. read more

Wow. Best steak I've had in the gorge and friendly service. Don't miss the cheesecake for dessert. Come for the steaks and stay for the relaxed, chill vibe. It's a small-town bar with the best food around. read more

Yes the food was good but either we were over charged or their prices are outrageous. $175+ for two people. That's for two steak dinners(one added shrimp), two pieces of cheesecake, and 5cans of diet soda. read more

Truly amazing. That was a very rare experience. A place that I would have never stopped into served one of the best steaks I have ever had. What appears at first glance to be a road side restaurant in a very small town turned out to be awesome. The people were very welcoming and service was top notch. I will make it a point to stop in or even detour from my trip to eat there again. read more

Top tier steaks. Kinda looks like a dump inside, but they sure know how to flame cook some beef. Way better than every single, "fancy" steak house I've been to. read more

Excellent steaks, friendly people, and even though it's pretty much a dive bar, it's easy to feel right at home. I live in Klickitat and yet I rarely know the people in there, they get a great deal of business from out of towners. read more

Great service and amazing food. Drink pours are perfect, the steaks were amazing. Would eat here every night if I had more money!!! read more

Amazing steak dinner! Looks like an old bar but the food is truly a treat! We split a steak plate and there was plenty

Back a year later for our annual summer trip. I was reading the last 4 reviews of the past year as we were driving up the mountain, and got worried that things might have actually changed for the worst. Did Richard pass? Did they sell the business? Did they outsource to Oregonians? Pfft, those other reviewers are idiots. Still 5 stars. We brought a group of 8 up from Hood River after a long day on the water. Everyone ordered steaks and they were all perfectly cooked. The baked potatoes still came with butter and sour cream equal to the weight of the potato. Service was friendly and attentive. But wait, they ran out of their amazing cheesecake, so 1 star, sike! Read those other 1 star reviews, what a bunch of wet blankets. read more

It is an amazing place in a super small community. Their steaks are top of the line as they are sourced locally. The service was wonderful. This place is known outside of the community it is that good! read more

5 friends had dinner here on 10/8/21 and all greatly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and company. The Rib Eye was a perfect medium rare with some great vegs. Service and drinks were spot on. Only wish the place was nearer to my home- but that would spoil the entire effect. Hope to be able to have a meal here again soon. K. Boone read more

The yummiest cheesecake in the whole NW for sure !! I had the huckleberry and it was so creamy and very scrumptious!!

One of my favorite restaurants, with a unique atmosphere not appropriate for Karens, as evidenced by some of these other reviews. The steak is incredible, and worth the wait. The service is friendly. read more

Looking at these reviews none are current. Things have changed. My husband and I live in the Columbia River Gorge and thought we would try this place. What a mistake! The service was horrible. We waited 15 minutes for water and 55 minutes for our food. We were the 2 couple in there so not busy. I got the rib eye steak. Very good I must say but the baked potatoe was carved out with no potato and only full of butter and sour cream. Not worth $28.95. My husband got the hamburger steak and baked potato that was also carved out. Prices are high, service was slow, unfriendly and the food quality was horrible. read more

The locals all raved about this steak house. We ordered New York steaks that were dry & over cooked. (Asked for Med., got Well done)The best way I can describe it is a dingy old dive bar that reeks of dirt & stale cigarettes. Bleh... I will give them an A+ on customer care though. They were very friendly. read more

If you love funky local out of the way hole in the wall bar/restaurant this is your place! On. Ladycation to our friends cabin at Willard and she arranged a table in Klicktat at the best steak house around. Loved the pool table, bar and diner. We all ordered the ribeye with baked potato and broccoli. Really really good and we were hungry too! They're are other features foods o te me ur but were told the steak is the specialty. It is a ways from the main highway along the gorge, 10 miles? But really a delight. Designate a driver and have fun! read more

One word: Excellent!! Good service and good food. Downside is it's only open Thursday - Sunday.

I've traveled all through Montana to find an equal or better steak house. I failed. Huntington's reigns King! The goodness goes so far past the steak. Make the trip to Klickitat. You won't regret it!!! read more

Huntington's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Klickitat, Washington

Excited to try this place after reading the reviews here. Went shortly after open on a Friday. Other than 2 pool players, had the place to ourselves for an hour. Their steak portions are large (10 oz and up) so thought about splitting with husband, but noticed a $5 'extra plate' charge. Ridiculous. Also offered, I believe, an $8 'split plate' charge that included an extra potato. I ordered an appetizer and just ate off his plate too. Food was ok but pricey. Bartender/waitress lacked personality. Service was terrible. Took over 40 minutes for first food (salad) to arrive. Am not scared of dive bars but this place was filthy and gross - old smoke stained falling apart ceiling tiles, dust and cobwebs everywhere, smelled like pee and vomit. Didnt dare to check out the bathroom. Lots of potential but very disappointing overall. read more

It's a tavern in the middle of nowhere. If you're looking for fresh seafood and a fancy salad then get real and go back to California. (see other review) If you're looking for a great steak or burger with a fully loaded baked potato and a stiff drink then this is your place! Richard makes a mean steak and Peggy serves a mean Jim Beam and Coke. I make it a point to stop by everytime I'm up at my buddies cabin. Never have I left hungry. Her homemade huckleberry cheesecake is not to missed either. They don't open until 4pm so plan accordingly. read more

Huntington's Bar & Grill has the best steaks in the Columbia River Gorge area, better than the fancy, schmancy restaurants in the surrounding towns. Their cheese cake is very good too. Edit 1/2/15. Their steaks do stack up well against some of the best steak houses. That seems like an exaggeration but it's not. It's different because those steak houses have the advantage of using aged prime beef. However, even without that advantage the steaks at Huntingtons are simply delicious and among the best I've had. read more

My husband and I had dinner here on the recommendation of some people we met at Domaine Pouillon, who live in the area. We took the back way to the tiny town of Klickitat (up Lyle Snowden, then across on Appleton Klickitat, then Canyon, then WA-142 and I think I left out one or two) and the views were spectacular. Just two regulars at the bar when we arrived. Little Peggy served us (Peggy's niece) and Richard cooked. We both had the 16-oz rib eye. My husband had mushrooms and I had grilled onions, we both had broccoli with cheese and the baked potato, mine with just butter and his with butter and sour cream. There was so much butter on my potato that I tried to send it back, thinking it was sour cream. (Well, it's kinda dark in there!) Delicious and baked to perfection. The steak was done perfectly too. We said medium rare and established with Little Peggy that that meant pink inside and they came out exactly right. The broccoli was great too, not too much cheese and it was cheese not cheese sauce. Ordered a piece of key lime cheesecake to go (I love anything key lime) and having just taken a few bites, it's the real deal. The cheesecake is light and creamy and the graham cracker crust is not stingy. No whipped cream on top and that is fine with me. Very, very good. We brought our own wine to have with dinner, and their corkage fee was modest as you might imagine. We have no complaints about Huntington's. It was described as a "dive" bar with excellent steaks and we found that to be accurate. They hadn't told us how nice Little Peggy is, and you would never guess by his appearance that Richard is a master chef! We will be coming back, and we will be recommending Huntington's to others in the Gorge who want an excellent meal and will look beyond appearances. read more

We have been coming here for 15 years. I know the pandemic has hurt businesses. The biggest steak on the menu is now 16oz. It was done how I ordered it, but, it wasn't the 24oz steak I was use to. Suddenly the giant baked potato was the main attraction. Still love this place. Staff was great, but, the menu has suffered a bit. Richard, you are a great steak chef. Bring back the big beef. read more

I have lived in Hood River for three years. I moved here from Texas, when I want an awesome steak I fire up my grill, however sometimes you just want one cooked for you. I have heard about this place in more discerning Steak eating circles and I made the drive out there and I was not let down. The Cut was awesome 18oz rib-eye cooked a perfect medium, the sides were divine, the service exceptional and the ambiance was superb and fun. This Texan was more than satisfied and will be traveling back there very soon. read more

My wife and I stayed the night in The Dalles and we're both craving a steak. Little did we know that because of the Yelp recommendation and the endorsement of a local vineyard owner that we would be in for a beautiful drive up the Klikitat River followed by seriously the best steaks of our lives. It also happens that cheesecake is my favorite dessert and they delivered on that as well. Make no mistake, this is a local bar in a small fishing town so it's rough around the edges but worth even the drive from Portland just for dinner. read more

Wine tasting weekend in Hood River. A local recommended this place for dinner. Wow! First of all, it is out in the boonies. Head out while it is still light, it is a beautiful drive. We had to stop and take a moment to enjoy the scenary! Be careful coming back in the dark, deer everywhere. Perfectly cooked steak, awesome baked potato, and broccoli. Cheesecake highly recomended to us but we were so full had to get it to go and haven't worked up the courage yet this morning to stuff ourselves again. It is a local dive bar so don't expect fancy amenities or complicated cocktails, but oh boy, Richard knows what to do with a steak! Well worth the drive, we will return! read more

Before you go - minors aren't allowed. It's a bar. We got three steps in the stale smoke room and were told minors aren't allowed. Would have been good to know. It's not just "not good for kids" it's a bar, not a steakhouse. read more

I'm writing this review solely about the Cincinnati Style Chili. In all fairness, my wife's steak was truly exceptional. But the chili was not. The flavor was excellent, but there was precious little of it. There was lots of spaghetti, onions, and cheese, but not much chili. I didn't make a stink about it since someone had told me the owner is from Cincinnati and I thought maybe this is the authentic way to serve chili--with just a spritz of the chili over the spaghetti--but looking into it further, I believe that you should at least get a modest pile of chili. read more

This place is famous for its steaks. Everyone raves about them so they get one star for the benefit of the doubt. I should have had a steak, but we stopped by for lunch and were planning on going out for dinner so we wanted something light. The salads looked good and I love a good fresh wedge salad. My bf had the scallop salad, both sounded great on the menu, but both were crap. I didn't read the menu carefully, my bad, but in my defense, have you ever seen a wedge without prosciutto or bacon? They typically have blue cheese dressing, tomatoes, and BACON crumbles! Not at Huntingtons, but it did have large pecans, which were unexpected and just didn't work for me. Plus. the dressing was mayonnaise with some blue cheese crumbles sprinkled on top. I hate mayonnaise! Yuk! And at $9.95 - not cheap, I dont think Morton's charges that much for their wedge (and Morton's has bacon!). I didn't eat it, literally had 2-3 bites and couldn't handle the mayonnaise taste. The owner knew I didn't like it, she could see I didn't eat it and asked me about it, yet she still charged us for it. Any descent restaurant takes off items that go back uneaten, for whatever reason. I guess they don't care about repeat business. The scallop salad was $15.95, which you would think would get you a great salad, with plump fresh scallops... but the greens were nothing special and the scallops were little over-cooked deep- fried fish balls, if I didn't know, I would not have guessed they were scallops. Sorry, but there is no excuse for a lousy salad with inferior ingredients. Moreover, the crappy salads with frozen processed seafood bits makes me skeptical of how good their steaks can be. If you think of any great steakhouse, they all take pride in ALL their ingredients, not just the meat. Huntington's clearly doesn't. Overall, the place is cute and the proprietors are nice, but the salads are awful and overpriced. Oh and to the other reviews who dismiss me as an "out-of-towner" or tell me that if I'm "looking for fresh seafood and a fancy salad then get real and go back to California." I grew up in the Gorge and still have a house here and spend most summers in the Gorge, so I am just a local who has had the good fortune to travel and develop a more sophisticated palate. Moreover, the Gorge is a mecca for fresh, local produce and fish/seafood so I shouldn't have to go back to SF for a decent salad. In fact, it makes it more disgraceful that Huntington's doesn't source fresh. local ingredients! I venture to say this place should be avoided by foodies, anyone that has traveled or knows good food probably won't be impressed. read more

Fabulous steaks and drinks. I love this place.....pay no attention to the negative review!!! No better food in the Gorge and it's a beautiful drive up the Klickitat River.. read more

Great steaks and burgs. Dont know why someone would order a salad, leave that shit to the rabbits

We recently rode our bikes from Lyle on the Klikitat trail and stopped here for steaks and beers before we rode back. We both thad the filet mignon and the steaks were amazing. Easily one of the best steaks I've had in my life. The baked potato and veg were great also. We got there right at 5 and it wasn't busy, but it filled up quickly. The place is divey in a charming way but spotlessly clean. read more

If you a want a local dive bar atmosphere with fantastic food then this is your place. Huntington's doesn't try to be anything it isn't. Don't expect 5 star service, pandering to your every whim. Do expect a perfect burger, a steak that you cut with a butter knife, a delicious baked potato and owners with personality. The margaritas were good, the beer selection is great and atmosphere is just what I want after a day playing in the gorge. If you want your fried chicken without gluten get a salad! read more

You might have heard of Huntington's; maybe even heard of the owner and chef, Richard and asked yourself if traveling the beautiful, scenic and winding highway 142 off of SR14 in the Columbia Gorge is worth it. Stop contemplating and start planning your trip! The wizard grill master behind the curtain of this unassuming dive bar produces THE best steak on the West Coast of the United States. Cooked to perfection, my 10 oz bacon wrapped fillet mignon (yes, in a dive bar) melted upon contact with my foaming mouth. A mountain of sour cream was piled high on the gigantic baked potato placed on the other side of the plate to even the weight of the dish so that the waitress could carry the damn thing. When placed on the table in front of me, the potato slid into the steak on a river of melted real butter. Thank GOD the crunchy sweet corn piled in between the potato and the cow buffered the impact. read more

Huntington's is THE place if you are looking for a steak in the gorge. Beautiful drive up the Klickitat River in the daylight. If you are not familiar with the area, the drive can be daunting in the dark. A local bar that is a total dump. No children are allowed so no risk of "family" dining. Wear a sweatshirt as it is a bit drafty if you sit near the window or door. We had awesome service and the Rib Eye was cooked to perfection (add the sauteed mushrooms - you wont be disappointed). Beer, wine and fabulous cocktails. We were stuff so didn't splurge on dessert but I have heard from others it is not something to be skipped. If you are too full take one to go. We will be going back very soon to try the pork chops! read more

What a find! We had a group of 4 up for some late season Steelhead Fishing when one the of the guides mentioned this hidden gem! The perfect spot to get a great steak and a cocktail while warming up after a day on the river. Great burgers if you're looking to be budget minded and if you are celebrating a big catch their steaks are in a class with the higher-end places in Seattle or Portland. I'd eat there every night I was there! read more

I fily-fish on the Klickitat river numerous times per year. I look forward to dining at Huntingtons everyday when I'm on the river. The quality cuts of Prime Beef are hard to beat. Dont skip dessert. All Cheesecake and Pies are freshly homemade!! read more
