    Oriental Chicken salad
    Belinda G.

    I had Asian chicken salad. It was huge. You could easily share. It was also quite good. The dried pineapple was as tasty but an odd chew texture. I would still eat it again though. Textures are funny. Dressing was great.

    It's hard to review an old friend! Since returning to Wenatchee three years ago, we have cycled around to most of the haunts we frequented 15 years ago, mostly restaurants where we had made friends with the wait-staff and owners as well. Sadly, many of them have moved on. But some still remain, and encountering them again is exhilarating. I always look forward to the hugs and squealing laughter.--"...where did you go and what have you done...? We've missed you!" McGlinn's Alehouse is the place we spent most of our time for the first five years of our marriage. It was originally the Orondo Tavern, built in 1922 as a solid brick two-story commercial building in the small town rural American style--big, open storefront windows on the ground floor, and small offices and apartments on the second, with tiny windows surrounded in iron bar planters. Such buildings have long narrow internal staircases up the right side entrance--one you'd never access unless to lived in one of those vaults upstairs. I finally returned to McGlinn's tonight. I had been meaning to, long before this, but there was never any parking in front --many restaurants now have covered sidewalk-cabanas out front--a code violation waved during the COVID pandemic. Inside, the left wall is still that half-block-long cabinet of all the liquor bottles you can imagine, multiplied in depth by the mirrors behind them. Down the middle of the room is one long continuous table that seats 14 people on a side--yes, strangers sit together. At the very back wall there is still, the largest brick open-hearth wood-burning oven you'd ever bake a leg of lamb and two pizzas in, at the same time. And down the right side-wall were six wooden tables-of-four, all sealed in a hard resin clear coat, as shiny and clean as they were vintage and rustic. I sat in the first chair at the first table, my back to the stairway down to bathrooms in the basement below the sidewalk. I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Tim's chips, a departure from the "John Paul Bacon Burger with pickled onions (McGlinn's is famous for). Ask to sit in Sadie's section--she's been there 20 years. McGlinn's has been there 34 years! What's not to like about an old friend! -------== ##### ==-------

    McGlinn's is the best place to eat in Wenatchee. Great food, the decor is nostalgic, and the servers are awesome! Hard to choose which meal is best. Go for breakfast, lunch or dinner and you won't be disappointed.

    Chicken Cranberry Sandwich
    Erin W.

    Great and friendly service, our waitress was very attentive! Definitely a bar and grill type of vibe. I came with my boyfriend and mom and we all loved our dishes, my mom got the steak, boyfriend got a pizza, and I got the chicken cranberry sandwich. All very different dishes, so I'd say this restaurant is pretty versatile. The chicken cranberry sandwich was very unique in flavor, but everything worked so well together and was very fresh 10/10! Can't forget dessert, with the lime cheesecake and it was so creamy 9/10. Highly recommend this spot, I'll definitely be back to try more!

    Spending some time east of the mountains, to enjoy some much needed sunshine and overall change of scenery. Went to Wenatchee, WA, to grab some yummy dinner and met some really cool people, at McGlinn's Public House ( @mcglinns_public_house ) downtown! Their Rib Eye Steak was juicy and delicious and their Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was a light and the perfect amount! We also had to get some of their highly recommended desserts ~ Skillet Cookie and their Key Lime Cheesecake! Oh my! Looking forward to going back, to try more of their menu! #McGlinnsPublicHouse #WenatcheeWA #downtown #centralWA #eastofthemountains #WAadventures #foodieventures #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses Instagram: @NelzLovesIt

    Blackened Salmon w/ Garlic Mashed Potatoes
    Ryan T.

    You can tell by the picture what matters to me most and it's MASHED POTATOES - these were excellent sometimes garlic mashed potatoes are either too salty or too much garlic *dodges thrown shoe* but not here The salmon was prepared well but it was hoping it would have a little more of a kick. For me though it was the service and vibe that made me feel comfortable talking with family and enjoying a meal. I'm not from this neighborhood but if I was I'd make this one of my routine spots.

    Went there with the family while staying in Wenatchee and it's probably the best restaurant in the city with a great selection of beer. Great service, good ambience really a lot of fun from babies to grownups.

    McGlinn's Public House is such a fun spot in Wentchee to dine at with live music on the weekends, friendly staff, delicious food and is located in a historic building. It's one of the more popular places to eat at in Wenatchee, and I can see why after checking it out. We came here on a Sunday night and there was live music playing out on the patio, which is where we wanted to sit since we had our dog with us. We waited for about 20 minutes for a table to open up as this place gets busy on the weekends. The building used to be a pool hall and housed a Wenatchee baseball team on the upper level back in the day. Our server said it's haunted in some areas, which she has personally experienced...so kind of spooky! The menu features different, classic items to choose from like burgers, sandwiches, salads and a handful of entrees with beers and wine. My partner ordered the ribeye plate while I had the caesar salad with smoked salmon and a side of clam chowder soup. Everything was tasty. The clam chowder was nice and thick, with chunks of seafood. And the caesar salad was a huge portion with lots of smoked salmon. I can see why McGlinn's is so popular after checking it out as it has solid food and fantastic service. We had a good time here.

    I'm in Wenatchee for a convention and stopped in to Bob's Classic for dinner…read more I selected the 10 oz center cut rib eye grilled medium-rare with tossed salad and Italian dressing. The rib eye I got was medium and the salad was a bowl of iceberg lettuce and a ton of croutons, dressed with Italian dressing. I did enjoy the baked potato! It was a large size and cooked perfectly. It was served with a mound of melted butter in the center of the potato and had little serving cups of sour cream, bacon bits (real), and shredded cheese. The staff seemed to be overwhelmed with the amount of diners, but still performed their job with excellence. I enjoyed the eclectic decor. There was the front end of a car, an old (1950s era) gas pump, and a pictures of famous historic figures.

    Looking for dinner in Wenatchee during some sort of cool downtown snowboard event was a challenge,…read moreso after trying to find a spot for too long, we went to Bob's Classic because we remembered driving past it. With relatively low expectations, we went in and looked at the menu and found items we could both order. I got the prime rib and my husband got the Viking Burger. He thought the burger was solidly good. I thought the prime rib was too - slightly over medium, I should have ordered medium rare. A TON OF FOOD. Biggest surprise was the baked potato had a garlic butter - never thought of that and boy was it delicious. I don't really ever eat a potato side - I'll either ask for it to be omitted or maybe take a bite or two. It was delicious. This place is good solid Americana food. Nothing fancy, big portions. For what it was I'd say it's about as good as you can get. Service was also great too!

A poster on the wall tells the backstory on the Lopez family-- it's a fascinating read, worth the time! I stopped in the afternoon between meal times. The restaurant was quiet with permeating aromas filling the main salon. I ordered "Tacos Dorados" (hardshell crispy tacos). They weren't on the menu, but they said they make them for me. What they served were Flautas. not what I expected, but they were delicious. The quality of the ingredients is superb and fresh, definitely a cut above what you would expect. The flautas were $16.95. They came with rice and beans, however, that was five dollars extra. The cup of coffee was $3.95. So, all toll, the bill was just short of $26. I thought that was a little pricey, but certainly reasonable for a custom meal that's not on their menu. As Mexican food fare goes, Paradise is a higher class restaurant, and it's obvious they want to please their customers. I appreciated the special attention. I'm excited to return and try some of their featured entrées..
