    The Honey Chicken Sandwich with collard greens! Love the Pink Peppercorns in the honey!
    Alden C.

    Julep made it on my list of bookmarks and was my final stop as I was coming home from a big craft beer sampling and shopping haul from Montana. The night I rolled in they had a small sign on the door saying they were closing at 8 p.m. instead of 9. I had about half an hour left and figured I'd give it a shot for a meal knowing I've been in this situation before and may get denied. But they did seat me and reminded me they would close early today. So big, big kudos here for operating fully practically right up to closure. I've been in this situation before and with this amount of time left I have been told they were closing and no new orders could be placed or their kitchen was already closed and if I'm lucky a drink is the only thing they might be able to do. So enormous gratitude here for getting me in! But now onto the food! Seems like a big specialty on their menu is chicken sandwiches. There were several different kinds. I went with the Honey Chicken Sandwich. What really caught my eye here was the honey in the sandwich was described to have pink peppercorns in it. And it was noticeable when I ordered this sandwich with a nice, subtle "zing" with sweet honey and a savory piece of chicken this was an excellent chicken sandwich and perhaps one for the books for me. There were several sides to pick from and I went with the collard greens. Those were very good and paired so very well with my sandwich! I was reasonably full and didn't pursue dessert and I didn't want to delay the staff any further with their closing process so dessert didn't happen so next time. And there most certainly will be a next time!

    Catfish Po-boy with fries.

    I need to eat gluten free and this was such a great restaurant! They had a great selection of gluten free options. The Pimento dip with gluten free crackers and veggies was so good! I had a shrimp Po-boy. The gluten free bun was a little smaller than a hoggie bun, but it was so good! I also had soup, which was gluten free and so good. My husband had Catfish Po-boy with fries. The fries were wonderful. He loved the hoggie roll. Our server was so helpful and so good to make sure everything tasted good. Two other people helped and were also very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant with music playing in the background. Everything was clean and pleasant.

    Fried chicken wedge  salad with a side of Buffalo sauce in addition  to the ranch dressing

    D My margaritas met my standard (high) . Did ask for fresh squeezed lime. The salad was sooooo good! I did ask for an additional side of Buffalo sauce. Only forgot to lick the plate!

    Pink pony club
    Gigi M.

    Review is solely on their drinks. We ordered 4 different drinks and all of them were subpar. We were really excited to try this place because so many reviews raved about their craft cocktails. The pink pony club was my fave but was just a super odd flavor combo. It tasted exactly like Orbit mint bubblegum. The first few sips were good but about halfway through the drink, I just couldn't stand the flavor anymore. The drinks were priced for a craft cocktail so I was expecting more tasteful pairings for the price.

    Southern gentleman (fried chicken substitute with grilled chicken) and voodoo catfish nuggets both are delicious

    Pros: good quality food, fresh ingredients, generous portion, reasonable price, hip and welcoming ambiance, friendly staff, convenient location (Main and 5th) Cons: not much!

    Delicious cocktails! Beautiful cocktails! Unique cocktails! Services was simple and sweet. Cute little new fancy cocktail bar in Ellensburg. My only recommendation is change hours to include under 21 until a certain time to attract and welcome families.

    A great place for plentiful food served with a southern flair. Just be warned that these plates are very ample so is best to share a plate unless you're really hungry.

    For starters, my family and I come here more often than not on nights out. Not only for date…read morenights, but also family meals. I love that they have x2 different sizes for their orders (tapas:smaller) and (regular:much larger portions). This allows us to try anything and everything we want in the appropriate sizes. I know on Mondays that they have half price Mojitos and Margaritas, but they have special events and more on other nights! I almost always order their specials for dinners, a three course app, entree, and dessert. For lunch I really enjoy their smash burgers... the BEST in town. Please try their Tres Leches dessert... omg so delectable. I can't help but order their hibiscus margarita with the special hibiscus salt every time... I love the flavor they add to Ellensburg and the variety in their menu. I've never had a dish that I don't enjoy. 10/10, I will always return. Thank you for your service. -Shelan (a regular at this point)

All the flavors paired perfectly. The staff was extremely friendly & the owner was very welcoming & even took the time to share his story & the inspiration behind the dish. The inside is very large with plenty of seating, both at the bar & in the dining room. They had live music going on in a private area. It's a little older on the inside but kept up well & clean. I will definitely be going back & might try the espresso rubbed steak. I highly recommend, enjoy & you're welcome.

    TLDR - Pizza is very expensive, portions are small and toppings skimpy, they charge extra to use…read moreyour debit card to pay. I placed a to go order for two large pizzas (a pepperoni and meatlover type) and came in to pick them up. The bill was 55.00 for two pizzas. I thought that was pretty expensive when I was ordering over the phone but thought, "they must be good sized pizzas" so I went ahead and ordered. They added a pretty high charge onto the bill for using my DEBIT card. I was shocked at that. When I asked why I was being charged extra for my debit card I was told that they charge for the usage of any card. WTF? Credit cards, I can kinda see since the business gets charged a per use fee, but a debit card? No. That is absolutely ridiculous. You have a product, you accept those forms of payment, and then you ADD a charge on because you would prefer cash? Not loving that, at all. Anyway, get the pizza back to where we are staying, open the box to find an "artisan" style pizza that is about the size of a legal pad. To add insult to injury, the toppings were very sparse and there was hardly any cheese on the pizza. If you are going to charge so much for pizza, how about not being skimpy on the toppings? I guess I am the outlier here or I should have dined in and had pasta instead of pizza. NOT impressed.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. I came here expecting a decent meal and left wondering how…read morethis place is still open. The server, Lynn, had the most dismissive, unprofessional attitude I've ever encountered eye rolls, sighs, and an overall vibe that customers are a nuisance. The food? An insult to my taste buds and my wallet. What I got looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since last week. The photo says it all -- limp, greasy, and completely unappetizing oh and not to mention i was overcharged for my order. There are plenty of restaurants in town that actually care about their customers and serve food worth eating. This isn't one of them. Save yourself the disappointment and go literally anywhere else.

There were no gluten free buns available so I was fine with no bun, but the staff were amazing and gave me some extra gluten free bread to add. Above what I expected. Will definitely visit again!!
