Come hungry because the Embers Pizza is no joke. It's absolutely loaded with meat and veggies, and…read moreevery slice is piled high with toppings. We were convinced we'd finish it, but it won. We happily took most of it home and enjoyed it again the next day. One thing I really appreciated was that they were happy to pour a few tastes of the beers on tap so I could find the right one instead of guessing. I landed on the Moose Drool, and it was the perfect match for the pizza. Great food, great beer, and friendly service. If you're in Joseph, Embers Brewhouse is definitely worth adding to your list.

Great outdoor seating with friendly staff and quick service. We split a pesto veggie calzone with a salad and some beer. We both hadn't had a calzone in years but it truly knocked our socks off. Such crisp dough, fresh filling, and really good sauces (ranch, hot honey, marinara). The salad was delicious and appreciated after many days of backpacking meals. Also great selection of local and far away beers on tap. Will definitely come back here next time we're in the Wallowas.

I got a large romaine salad with chicken. It was plain, but in a good way. I don't know what it is about Joseph and Enterprise, Oregon, but the size of their salads is about five times bigger than where I'm from, and I'm loving it. It was hard for me to finish because it was so big, and I am a big eater. The lettuce tasted very fresh, and the dressing tasted homemade. Regarding the service, the woman who greeted and served me was extremely polite. She checked on me often, filled my water every time it was down a couple of ounces, and seemed very kind. I would say the service was great. When it comes to the ambiance, this place is a trip. Honestly, I did a double take and walked in and out a couple of times because I wasn't sure it was a restaurant. I thought it was a pet shop. I honestly could not tell. To me, it was definitely quirky, but it fit the overall vibe of the town of Joseph. I really enjoyed watching all of the customers come in with their dogs. The dogs were so happy and immediately got treats. It was dog heaven, to be honest. It made me think about my dog, who is no longer with us, in kind of a sad way. At the same time, it made me want another dog. The next time I'm in Joseph, I'll definitely be stopping back by here to grab a bite.

Whelp, The service was beyond slow .....only 10 tables outside had customers....... Zero customers inside. We arrived at 12:45 and we finally got our meal at 2:10 ....... It sucked!!!! My fries were still frozen and the $18 burger was just ok...... we also ordered the crispy chicken salad...... what a joke! I understand they've only been open for a year, but being in the restaurant business ourselves, I've never seen a business run so unprofessionally in all of our travels . There's literally no one that stays in the bar bartending all three women bartend, wait tables, bus tables and also try to be the hostess. We sat at the bar & were pretty much ignored....no eye contact with whom ever bounces behind the bar....Good luck getting a drink! I hope they can pull it together because they have a great spot right on the main road ...... having said that I don't recommend it and we will never go back. The name says it all...... they Slacked, Big Time! read more

I wanted to share my experience from the Valentine's Day dinner. To start on a positive note, the drinks were fantastic and well worth the cost. However, the rest of the meal didn't quite meet expectations, especially considering the price range of the limited menu ($21-$56 for main dishes). The chicken was unfortunately overcooked, and the sides were significantly undercooked. Additionally, the food arrived cold and after a considerable wait. We also had some trouble with the service; we had to request basics like knives and napkins, and some items either took a long time to arrive or didn't come at all. Overall, the quality of the food and service didn't align with the higher price point. While I enjoyed the drinks, I wouldn't recommend this place based on this experience. read more

Second chance for this place. You're a total sucker if you are willing to wait the 2+ hours for an over-priced horror show meal cooked by a meth using kitchen employee. The heavily tattooed 'manager/owner' is probably a user too and while it appears like a fun place, it isn't. Buy yourself a decent ribeye at the market, cook it yourself and save the frustration. read more

A funny side story, the waiter was actually the same waiter we had at a restaurant down in Joseph Oregon the night before. And the service was very good. I had the turkey and bacon sandwich along with potato salad and a beer. All was very tasty and very welcome.
