We were hoping to drop in for a quick lunch and were told that there was a wait even though multiple tables were available. Disappointed that any business would turn down customers willing to spend money. read more

Upon walking in the door, this place did not smell good. It really threw us all off. We went to a table near the bar with the intentions of ordering some food and drinks. 2 of us went to the bathroom which was fairly clean but unfortunately neither of our toilets would flush. When we got back to the table, we started to really start looking around and all agreed based on smell and appearance, this may not be the best place to get food. Our waitress wasn't overly friendly and really didn't seem to want to be there. We all ordered a cocktail. Unfortunately we all had a few sips then made the decision we just needed to leave. This place could use a major cleaning and staff overhaul. read more

Great Food , but service slacked a little bit. Wouldn't recommend eating here on a weekend. Server kept on messing up our order and wouldn't come back and check up on us till the very end. read more

We have been there serveral times, first time was great, second time not so much, but we thought, well - new cook, lets give them another chance. He ordered a burger 15$. bun , lettuce, tomato, cheese, no mayo, catsup, no nothing. The patty was season beside salt and pepper and was not good. I ordered the French dip again - 3rd time (you would think I'd learn). In the past it has had salted onions, mushrooms, Swiss cheese if you asked for it, jus and horseradish sauce. This time way too many mushrooms, must have been on sale, some kind of icky cheese sauce and no horseradish, I had to ask for it. We both had the salad but had to dig to find the salad, the bowl was 2/3 full of shredded cheese, He asked for refill on his diet soda and instead got cherry coke or maybe Dr Pepper? 40$ on a meal that was unsatisfactory. Three strikes and you are out, won't be back again. read more

Just moved to Walla Walla and was told by a few people to try this place out. Usually pretty busy, but the staff works hard to keep up with the demand. Food is unique and tastes great. Awesome beer selection. Plenty of TVs to watch a sports game, but can noisy (should be expected). One of my favorite spots currently! read more

Great food, amazing server. Server was fun, sarcastic and made the meal even more enjoyable. Food was well priced. Will be back. read more

One time they wouldn't let me in for a valid out-of-state ID. Then they refused to give me my ID back, citing it being fake. I ended up having to call the cops on them as I needed my driver's license back. The hostess, very embarrassed​ about how she mishandled the experience, threatened to blacklist me. Can't understand how management would allow anything like this to occur. read more

We had lunch today and were waited on by Haley. She gave us excellent, prompt and accurate service. We loved the truffle fries! My sister had the Smokeout chicken sandwich and said it was the best sandwich she has ever had. Two of us had a great French dip and one of us had the Stromi and Gus sandwich, also excellent! The onion rings with the sandwiches were great, greasy but yummy. We will all return! read more

The food is good, but only if you eat it there and don't mind slow service. The biggest problem is that they miss important details on take-out orders every time. For example, they forgot the horshradish ranch for the prime rib dips last time I ordered take-out. Tonight, they forgot the candied lemon zest for the blueberry elephant ear tacos we had ordered to take with us after dinner. These details are really important. I'm tired of being disappointed. I won't be back. read more

I come here every time I am in walla walla! Fun casual atmosphere. Great for the whole family! Tonight we had a brand new server... She was on point! Great attitude! Great service & I'm sure it has to do with the fact that she is a ginger! ‍ read more

Sat at the bar -- yay for that -- on a Monday evening. A young woman waited on us. Gin and tonics delivered as ordered. Put in our dinner order, and things went haywire. A couple of guys came in and sat beside us and we struck up a conversation. Our bartender seemed to take an instant dislike to them, and was really rude. We were near the food pickup window, and as time passed, more and more food appeared and went to people who ordered after us. Bartender is studiously ignoring us, as we're patiently waiting, and watching for our food. Finally my husband's burger was plunked down in front of him, with no mention of my Cobb salad. I urged him to eat while it was hot. Still no communication from our bartender, but increasingly hostile behavior. I finally got my salad, which bore little resemblance to the description on the menu. Not wanting to risk another 30 minute delay, I ate what I was given. She obviously didn't place my order and had to get the kitchen to rush some semblance of a Cobb salad. STILL NOT A WORD FROM HER. Finally when we got the check I said, you know, my salad was missing multiple ingredients, but I ate it anyway. She interrupts me and says, Cobb salad with no olives, that's what you asked for. I gave up, and reluctantly gave her a ten percent tip, rather than the zero percent her service deserved, and left. There are SO MANY restaurants, and better restaurants, in walla walla, don't bother with this one. And, yes, it has nothing to do with COVID. read more

A nice little sports bar in Walla Walla. Reasonable beer and food prices. Had the carnivore pizza and it was huge. Had a local IPA that was very nice as well. Can't remember the name but it was the only Walla Walla IPA on the menu. Service was reasonably fast for 630pm. No complaints at all. read more

Breakfast was awesome the interior is really great with lots of tvs, drinks and good food!!

Yesterday we ate at Red Monkey and honestly enjoyed everything about our experience. We sat on the patio, which is very well shaded and comfortable despite being close to 100 degrees outside. Our lemon drops were excellent, as was the mango vodka and the margarita. We ordered gorgonzola fries, onion shoes strings, fried pickle chips, and edamame from the happy hour menu and everything was delicious. The pork nachos with queso on the side were amazing- not one chip was soggy- and overall we were impressed that this "bar food" was much better than some of the other fancy restaurants we tried while in Walla Walla. I would gladly return. read more

Good food and service was great! The kitchen was slow but service and environment was awesome.

We came back a second time because our bartender was amazing. Drinks were...pretty good. Atmosphere and decor on point. Food was yummy. Will come back! read more

Delicious! We came in for lunch. Fast service, great food, friendly, fun! Rhianna was quick and really knows her menu. Great selections for a wide variety of appetites. I recommend the Red Monkey, and we will be back! That is for a great afternoon. And buy a t-shirt! read more

Walla Walla is a great wine tasting town. Try the boneless wings. Portions are large so plan to share!

Worst service ever! Bartenders are grouchy as hell and don't even acknowledge you're presence. Been standing at the bar for 15 minutes now and not one has even looked at us. If we ever get served were having one and heading to the Green Lantern or sappolli for the live music. BLAH! Hey bartenders If you hate your job this much QUIT! read more

The service is TERRIBLY SLOW! The food isn't fantastic by any means but it's okay. The aesthetic is nice and it's a good place to go with friends...just don't be in a hurry read more

Thumbs down! They are doing it all wrong. You can see some effort with the decor and lounge area couches. But what makes a great bar/grill is good drinks, good munchies, good friendly service. The past few things I've ordered...NOT good! They seem to be skimping on food, and alcohol. The bartenders seem nice to your face at first, but don't expect any help from them if there is a problem with your bill. If you go, do CASH. They will not fix any kind of error on the credit card. This isn't Vegas or LA. I think in a town this small, they should really try to be accomodating and treat their patrons well, after all they ARE your business. And while I appreciate a good security system in place, the bouncers are creepy. They surround the dance floor and stare you down. It's silly. read more

Overall an average (meh) place for me due to the food and slow service, but I'm giving them a three because their Tuesday Trivia nights saved my sanity while I was living in the area. The decor feels slightly confused sometimes between a sports bar and a club, but I'll let it slide since Walla Walla is a small town. The food here is pretty average. I sound like a food snob, which I'm okay with, but the food was so-so. I had several flat breads and also tried a burger and the brownie dessert, all of which I felt like I could find at most places and tasting about the same. The selection of beer on tap is good; the mixed drink I tried (I think a vodka cranberry) was pretty standard. The service is what really got me because it was consistently slow. Didn't matter if I ordered a beer or a flat bread, my item wasn't going to show up anytime soon. I was here on Tuesday's for trivia, so it was busy, but I still don't understand how the service was so slow. It took me 20 minutes once to get my beer, which is fine and dandy but a tad excessive. The other issue I had with the service was that there were a select few servers who seemed to have issues getting the correct orders out, let aloe remembering what people ordered when it came time for checks. I was given two beers on my check when I ordered one on a couple different occasions, and it wasn't uncommon for a beer someone had ordered to end up on another person's tab. Actually, that was weekly. As was one person getting regular fries every time he ordered sweet potato fries. Trivia Tuesday is the only reason I went. If you're looking for somewhere with good food I suggest you try somewhere else because there is good food to be found in the area. read more

No bueno! We arrived at 11:30 am on a Wednesday before the "lunch rush" with a reservation. Although people who had arrived later that us were able to order, get their food, and leave. It wasn't until 12:30 pm when our food finally arrived (well almost everyone's food, there was a hold up with one Panini order...). After waiting for an hour we had to have it boxed, which took another 10 minutes of waiting. Then we had to wait again for waitress to print out our tickets and pay bill. Food was cold. No melted cheese on the sandwiches, soup cold. Panini was barely grilled with the cheese not melted, fries cold. Service was lacking. I have had two previous similar experiences at the Red Monkey and decided to give it another shot. I won't be going back...EVER!!!! Better food for the price can be found a lot of other places. Group consensus was to go elsewhere from now on. read more

So, I arrived here on a Monday evening with four coworkers and ordered the Amber draft. I then tried to order the Monday special which included 5 wings, fries and ... a draft beer for 10 bucks! Sounds good to me. Sign me up! Except ... the draft I ordered was ONE OF THREE that was NOT part of the "Monday Special." WTH? I asked the server where it was advertised what beers were NOT part of the special. Her answer was simply "It was posted somewhere but I thought it was posted up front." How in the world was I lucky enough to choose one of the three beers that voided this offer? She would not budge and allow my brew to be overlooked and become part of this offer. So I kindly just drank my beer and left eating duty to my coworkers. Also, when we asked the server a question, she answered "I don't know ... I don't know ... I don't know " which may be ok as long as she went to go get the answer. That, of course, never happened. Summary: Service = 1/10 Food = 3/10 Beer = 8/10 Restaurant smell = 1/10 Btw, don't order a sauce on the side as you will be charged $0.50 for it. This place is NOT recommended. read more

Stumbled upon this place, looked great from the outside so we went in. Seat yourself was what the sign said, so we did. No servers came over to our table , eventually they did. We ordered drinks and they were OK, but waiting to order food was bad. And it took even longer for the food to arrive. The atmosphere was very good with funny quirks all over. My group was just having fun or we would have made a bigger deal over waiting an hour for food. It was a Thursday night so there was no real reason for the service to be so slow. When the food finally arrived it was good, I'll give them that. Good food, decent drinks, nice atmosphere but so freaking slow with the service. read more

Such a fun place! They had fresh brewed iced tea which is always a trait of the finest restaurants! The service was good. The French dip was awesome but the Mac and cheese was very dry. We'll give the Mac & cheese a pass the next time. The salad was good and the fries were tasty and not overly seasoned. We'll go back! (We just won't order the mac&cheese. ) read more

Party of 2, Saturday afternoon around 12:30 pm, sat outside. When I walked in, the restaurant did not seem very busy but since it was still early in the afternoon, it may get busier during the evening. The person I was meeting hadn't arrived yet and since I am always cold indoors, I decided to sit outside when they told me to seat myself. The first lady to address me was nice and she approached me with one menu within minutes of me sitting down...asked me what I wanted to drink. I asked for a water and said there would be one more person joining me. Once the other person arrived, she was pretty quick to ask us what we wanted to eat but he did not have much time to look at the menu and asked for a couple more minutes. Before I came to Walla Walla, I made an effort to check out Yelp and TripAdvisor for food and entertainment ideas. There were many restaurant options but we were looking for laid back, vegetarian options and outside seating. Red Monkey seems laid back and has a small outdoor seating area but the vegetarian options were a little lacking. Prior to me leaving, I posted a message on their facebook page asking if they had a veggie patty substitute for their burgers (it was not listed as an option on their menu) but they never answered. I still thought I could get away with some appetizers and maybe a pizza if I was really hungry. Both me and my table-mate decided on the veggie wrap and I also got onion rings instead of fries. The onion rings are the closest things I have had to an onion ring I had while I worked as a bartender at a golf course in Michigan. The chef made these absolutely brilliant beer-battered onion rings...award winning. These come in at a very distant 2nd because although they had the fresh batter, it lacked in kick/taste. They need to add some more spices to it (I don't mean hot, but just ingredients that compliment onions). The veggie wrap was dull. We were both expecting some kind of flavoring in the wrap (salt/pepper, oil, vinegar, etc) but nothing came in it....just the lettuce, sprouts, avocado, tomato. A side of ranch came on the plate but I thought they gave it to me for the onion rings (maybe it was supposed to be for the wrap too?). We both agreed that if we had know it would lack essential seasoning, we would have asked for the insides to be tossed in vinegar, salt and pepper. Neither of us had a drink, so I cannot comment on that. It was quiet outside and one table had their dog with them...so it is dog friendly! :) I almost rated them 2 stars because the waitress was just not friendly...at all. She could tell that me and the other person were in deep conversations and hadn't seen each other in awhile but we felt so rushed. When she re-filled our waters, she asked if I wanted a to go box and I said yes but was still munching. She brought out the box and the check when my friend was going to ask for a whiskey! Maybe train the wait staff to be a little friendlier and ask if we want anything else before bringing the check. Maybe it was a shift change but it was not busy and when I used to bar tend and waitress, I would let them keep drinking...bigger tip! I guess I would recommend for a lunch time run. I would not come back if I had to wait for a table. read more

Terrible Service - Showed up at 8pm on a Monday. Barely anybody in the place. Ended up taking over an hour to get our food. An hour, on a Monday. Waitress didn't keep us informed, didn't apologize, nothing. Barely was around to fill our water after multiple times asking. Ended up telling us there was only one cook and he got behind. When we were done, there was no effort to make it right by the wait staff. We were clearly upset and they didn't offer any discount, free drink, nothing. Decent Food - Finally after the food came it wasn't terrible. Saved this place from a one star review. Bad for Sports - Went in expecting to watch a few of the games. They have a great set up for watching, however, the majority of TV are on their music channel and don't show sports. Also it took me asking three times to get the NBA playoffs on TV when old reruns were showing on the big screen. What a joke. read more

We were excited to try this place out but was extremely disappointed with the service and the food was SO dry. I got the fish tacos and they were horrible. read more

While the restaurant is incredibly appealing and the hostess was amazing. I was sadly very disappointed. Our server was less than acceptable. Delivered our food cold. Forgot our appetizer completely and literally stated "I forgot to order it. Do you still want it?" Gave the wrong beverage refill after walking past our table, seeing the empty glass at the end of the table 4 times. When the server did finally manage to make it back to our table, we asked for to go boxes and waited an additional 20 minutes. Received the boxes and then waited an additional 15 minutes to get our check. Waited another 20 minutes and finally went to the front counter to pay for the meal. This was NOT a busy night. This was unacceptable. read more

This has become a regular stop for my family. Our food sensitivities limits our choices when the kids are along, but Red Monkey does a great job of trying to take care of us, especially for the price point. The food is always good and fresh. While there are plenty of basic pub offerings, there are plenty of unexpected items as well. And plenty of locally sourced menu offerings to mirror the tap list (which is great). The Dynamite shrimp and Gorgonzola fries are to die for. The burgers have great flavor, and the salads are massive. They have nice Gluten free buns available and the sweet potato fries are awesome as well. They are never fast, but we just plan for it now, and as long as the food is hot and fresh, it doesn't bother me. Some servers are very average, but they also have a few gems that keep you coming back. If you aren't looking for trivia, I'd avoid the place on Tuesday night. It get PACKED. It's lots of fun to watch and listen, but be prepared for killer wait times. All in all, we love Red Monkey and appreciate all they do to keep the food scene in Walla Walla interesting! read more

My wife and I love WW! We were fortunate to make some AWESOME local friends :) that took us here on our last two visits. If you're not ready for bed at 9 this place is a great way to finish the night and into the morning. Great beverages and the music/DJ keeps it going. read more

This place is apparently the "new hotness" in town. It's pretty jazzed up inside, really nice decor and some side lounge seating areas for large groups to hang out and sink into. (The bathrooms have really sexy faucets...really. sexy faucets.) The staff is really friendly and deft at brushing off the drunk jackasses that they must deal with daily while still wearing a smile. The drink selection has a lot of variety and of course, comes with some signature drinks that are pretty great. I gave the 4 stars really just because of the food. They had a great build-your-own burger, but I think this place is still struggling to find their food niche' here in Walla Walla and for some of the dishes--it shows. Great place though, absolutely hopping on a Saturday! read more

Haven't been here for years, and it's not what I remember. Sadly, underwhelmed. The pizza dough taste like it's pre made frozen store bought as well as the pizza sauce, and under seasoned. Also the monthly taco special is under seasoned as well, serviced with a store bought salsa. Food presentation was wonderful and the service was amazing, but the food not so much. read more

Was there for the Gonzaga game unfortunately they lost. Reasonably good beer selection. Lots of screens and TVs to pretty much see it from anywhere in the place. Good service. Reasonable prices. Didn't have any food to rate. About 2 blocks off the Main street drag. read more

Stopped in last night to ask if they were expecting a large crowd for MLS Cup today. Hostess said yes and even took a reservation for us. Showed up today and we were asked what channel it would be on. Staff member indicated she might put the game on on one of the small TVs. We were told they'd be showing mostly football. We said we'd think about what we wanted to do. She came back after a bit and my wife asked a clarifying question about where they'd show the game. Got a ton of attitude in return. We decided to leave and got a snarky, "Enjoy the game!" We went to the Big House Brew Pub and were treated extremely well. We did enjoy the game there. read more

Food is delicious here! We started with the onion rings "King of the ring" - seriously some of the best onion rings I've ever had. I got the backyard smoker sandwich - really really tasty! For the food, this place gets 10/10. The only reason I gave them four stars is because they played a Dave Matthews Band song, and I almost lost my appetite. Really though, this place has great food, and if you manage to dodge the DMB bullet, you'll likely have a great time! read more

What a great place to go out and eat and get some amazing drinks. We went out for a bachelorette party and had Rainy server us the first night and she was on top of drinks and an amazing personality. When you go in make sure to ask for her! Then it was so good we came back the second night and we had Colin and he was just as great! Good with jokes and knows how to do his job for sure! Ask for him aswell and you won't be disappointed with your time there. Those two are truly amazing and for sure made the bachelorette fun! read more

I usually love going to the red monkey but tonight we were denied service because we had a party of 4. There were multiple tables that had 2, 4, 6, people and we were told there weren't enough servers to serve a party of 4. We were also told if we had a party of 6 then we could be seated. I'm so disappointed because I love the monkeys food but this was a ridiculous excuse. read more
