Stopped here again. Friday afternoon, meet up with some friends. Great service Peilani was awesome. Hope I spelled that right. She's always the best, very friendly, sassy, engaging. Thank you! The food was good, I had the burger this time out. Solid choice. Got the amazing curl fries, love those! Busy place, not loud, we were outside so they made it even better. Thanks for another awesome meal. read more

South Fork North Bend - The burger with curl fries! - Cafes Near Me - North Bend, Washington

Very nice atmosphere and large dining area, in addition is has an incredible outdoor seating area as well which we enjoyed in the summer sun. Located next to a frisbee golf course, it brings lots of nature and views. The menu has many great options, as well as some local favorites that were impressive, which very large meat sides. You order your own food at the counter and are given a buzzer that rings when your order is ready. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'm not in north bend too often, but when in the area, I will return to South Fork, read more

There are no servers for the tables, that's fine but why am I tipping at 18%, 20%, 25%? I also do my own bus service and fetch my food. The menu was Lunch/Dinner, Linner? The Food was odd, like my mother used to take left overs and blend them on her plate. Chicken Curry was more like a fajita bowl the, chicken was curry esk and missed on any deeper curry flavors, curry seasoning one note topped sour cream and a sticky plain rice. Just make fajitas if you don't have time Chef. Appetizers we had the Chicken wings with Franks Hot Sauce and Chunky Blue Cheese. The Baked Goat cheese was great , Delicious! The Burgers were made well and fries big wide cut, fried to a crispy perfection. My husband ordered Milk n Cookies, 2 huge cookies made well. My son and I got the fruit shivers they are good and a bit large so maybe share. I would rather see a separate dinner menu with skilled cooking. Steak? read more

Hubby and I stopped here while we were on our way to our hotel in Moses Lake and OMG! It was absolutely DELICIOUS! Food and service were fantastic and the view?! I mean come onnnnnnn literally so gorgeous! My only complaint was the price as well as that their side of brisket I got was drowning in sauce. I love sauce but it was a bit too much. We also got some yummy drinks too! If we were in the area again I would love to come back and stay a bit longer to soak it all in, 10/10 recommend! read more

Helpful pleasant staff! Surprisingly great food. Lots of greenery and inside and outside seating. We weren't very hungry so shared a chicken sandwich. Delicious!!! Loved the garnishes... including pickles and cabbage. Interesting fries, sorta like a souffle inside and crispy outside. I want to try the quinoa salad! Great looking menu... will definitely be back! read more

Happening place on a rainy Sat for lunch with friendly staff taking our order upon arrival. Two of us ordered the chicken sandwich and they looked great, but our experience unfortunately were heavy on breading and light on actual chicken. My son ordered Forager's Burrito and he was disappointed as it seemed to be dominately potatoes and very little of the other ingredients. My bride ordered the Black Lentil bowl and made the assumption the base would be warm, but her experience was all of the ingredients were chilled. For us, beyond the friendly service the food was a disappointing miss. read more

What a find! Parking is a challenge, overflow lot was helpful and a nice walk down the fairway to the restaurant. Crowded, no table service and line up for ordering food and drinks. One of the more beautiful cheeseburgers I've seen in a while. Just a happy, crowded, community with kids running and playing around on the old golf course and family and friends enjoying the outdoor tables in the evening sun under the old growth trees. Everything you love about living in the PNW. Burgers are solid, fries are creative and crispy. Chicken sandwich has too much sauce (almost like a chili sauce, like a sweet glaze with a little kick). Chicken Caesar was good - wish I had as much chicken as the salad did with the salmon. That said, it was a terrifically fun place and I'll be back. read more

If you're coming down from a hike and want that perfect wind-down spot, South Fork North Bend absolutely delivers. The outdoor seating is the real star here--relaxed, spacious, and blessed with peekaboo views of Mount Si that feel like a little reward after a long day on the trail. It's the kind of place where you can kick back, soak in the fresh air, and let your legs recover while still holding onto that mountain vibe. The food is just as satisfying--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want after burning some calories. Everything we tried hit the spot, and the menu has a great balance of hearty and lighter options. Pair that with genuinely friendly, welcoming service, and it's hard not to feel taken care of. All in all, South Fork is one of those rare spots that feels like part of the adventure, not just the afterthought. Perfect for refueling, relaxing, and stretching out a great day outdoors. read more

We went here for breakfast and we were blown away by the food, service, and ambiance.

We stopped in for breakfast on a Monday prior to making our way to the u-pick blueberry farm. This place was super cute, I loved all of the outdoor seating with great views of the mountains. Their menu was generous and the food was delicious (biscuits/gravy and corned beef hash). My only complaint is how pricey it was, $65 for 2 entrees, 2 flavored lemonades, and tax + tip...an expensive breakfast. read more

The fries here are amazing! What a great shape to be seasoned with love! We had the burger and chicken sandwich and both were excellent. Plus the view is so lovely! Great stop and great service! read more

The root beer on tap is a must - so refreshing! We came here after a mid spring hike for our first time ever and it was delicious! We had shishito peppers (oh my: the bacon cheese sauce!), caprese salad with stone fruits, kid's cheeseburger with fries and the spicy chicken sandwich with fries. It was a good mix of healthy and greasy! The table next to us got the table side s'mores so of course we had to order that too! The run down is: you get there, get menus, grab a table, then go order and get a beeper, then go grab your stuff from where you ordered when your beeper goes off. The place is warm and cozy inside this time of year and outdoor seating works if you don't mind the rain risk! read more

This cafe looks a little small and inconspicuous on the outside, but the parking lot and inside of the restaurant are full of people! The area is pretty cool, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, a sandbox, and a large grass area with a giant sling shot! I got a spam musubi bowl ($23) and a 16 oz London fog ($6) to go. This was the most expensive spam musubi I've seen on a menu, so I was very curious to see how the dish would be prepared. The presentation of the dish was beautiful, and the food was also a decent portion considering its price (the spam slabs are larger than any spam musubi I've tried so far- so much that I wished for more rice to balance the meat!). Overall, the food tasted great, but not good enough to justify its cost. I feel like I'm paying more for the cafe space/ambiance than the actual food. It's a fun place to visit, and worth checking out! read more

Great brunch spot in North Bend, conveniently located near the Snoqualmie ski area. We went snow tubing early in the morning and came here afterwards for a hearty brunch, which hit the spot. The ordering process is straightforward: grab menus at the counter, find a seat, then return to order. When your food is ready, you pick it up yourself. They offer a solid variety of brunch options, including breakfast burritos and French toast. I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict. The only downside was the potatoes--half were overcooked, dark, and had bitter taste. My friends ordered the breakfast burrito and French toast, and both were excellent. They also have a nice seasonal coffee selection. The matcha latte was pretty decent. They even have a bar for drinks. The space is large, bright, and welcoming. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again. Maybe next time I'd swap the potatoes for a salad instead ;) read more

If you're in North bend, trying South Fork is a must! It is the perfect spot to grab a beer, some good food and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Came here with a girlfriend and was instantly impressed. You walk in and order at the counter and then find a table. It was a beautiful night so we grabbed a table outside. This restaurant sits on a few acres and is kid friendly so while relaxing kids have a lot of places to run and place. Luckily it was live music. My favorite. We decided to split the Brussel sprouts and the ban Mi bowl however instead of tofu we subbed salmon. The salmon was a bit overcooked but everything was good. Just being outside, having a glass of wine and enjoying this restaurant will defiantly be a staple whether coming down from a beautiful hike, grabbing a drink with a friend or just a nice place to listen to live music. read more

Great place for a post-hike beer and dinner (or lunch)! Their tap list is very varied featuring some awesome seasonal and staple picks from local PNW breweries. Counter ordering and pick up allows for efficient ordering. All employees we interacted with were very friendly. The outdoor area featuring mountain views and a beautiful green lawn is so peaceful. The baked goat cheese app was delicious! It has a sweet & spicy pepper topping that complimented the tangy melted cheese so well. Crostinis were on point. My husband loved his brisket sandwich. My Tofu Bahn Mi Bowl was amazing. The rice was shockingly so good and flavorful on its own (I normally don't like rice). The sweet chili sauce was delectable, and all the veggie toppings were very fresh and amazing. Tofu was cooked perfectly, with a very crispy seared outside and a soft, squishy center. I would highly recommend and will definitely get it myself again. read more

The decor and back patio are both appropriate and fantastic. The views out the back window and in front of the restaurant are amazing.

South Fork North Bend - Parking lot - Cafes Near Me - North Bend, Washington

While the parking isn't easy to find, once you are inside this establishment it's one of the best spots in the area. It's an order from the counter experience with two places to order, and bars with great beer options. The outdoor space is incredibly vast so make sure your kids bring stuff to play with so they can't stay busy for a long time. The chicken curry dish was flavorful and a wonderful recommendation from the lady who took our order. Also the halumi and melon salad was great, but I wish it had more melon. I'd rather there be more melon than lettuce in a halumi and melon salad. Everything is $20 a plate or more. read more

Lively joint with a large outdoor seating area, offering decent variety of food and drinks. Perfect post-hike (or lake activities) to Rattlesnake Ridge/Lake. I love their yard where kids were playing around burning off their energy while adults enjoy their time relaxing with their beverages. We shared a quinoa salad with grilled salmon (came blackened despite of our order for a regular grilled version), and salmon was very flavorful - not overcooked. Quinoa salad itself had a plenty of fresh ingredients too, and it was very enjoyable. Good beer selection too. read more

Found my new favorite spot, between the food, the views, the vibes, South Fork has it all. I was eyeing up other people's food and was wishing I had been able to try it all. I love a good farm to table style restaurant and this spot definitely hits the mark. Will definitely be back to try more food items and to enjoy the patio out back once the weather warms up. read more

South Fork is right off exit 32 on I-90 and is an easy go to for brunch, lunch, dinner, or just drinks. Everything I have tried has been really tasty, especially the eggs benedict, salmon Caesar, and crispy chicken sandwich. The cocktails are great, and they also have a good selection of local beers and wines. You order at the counter when you arrive, then grab a seat wherever you want and pick up your food when the buzzer goes off. I love coming here for the live music and the big outdoor space. Parking can get tight in their main lot during busy times like weekends, but there is an overflow lot nearby. The prices are a little on the higher side, but the food quality and overall ambiance make it worth it. read more

We didn't plan to get a post-hike lunch at South Fork, but as we were passing by it on our way to Rattlesnake Ridge, we figured we'd give it a shot given how popular South Fork is. And it's a good spot for drinks, food and group gatherings with dogs! We visited South Fork after our hike and the place was bustling with hikers doing the same thing. South Fork is very spacious and on sunny days, there's a nice patio seating area with a huge green space for dogs and kids to run around in. I loved how dog-friendly this place is, making me an instant fan. You order your food and drinks at either the bar area or the food counter and then grab a number for when your food is ready to pick up from the kitchen. We ordered the smoked salmon udon bowl and the salmon sandwich with their famous fries and drinks. Everything was solid. The smoked salmon udon bowl was refreshing and light with crispy veggies. But this would've been tastier with fresh salmon versus smoked salmon. And speaking of salmon, the blackened salmon sandwich was good, but the salmon itself was so good that I would rather eat this without the bread and condiments, to taste more of the delicious blackened salmon! The fries are a hit here as they're like jo-jos in a twirled shape that is seasoned well. You'll love them. Overall, South Fork is a great place to hang out in, as the space is inviting, large, and perfect for group gatherings and post-hikes! There was even a band setting up for live music during our visit. I love these kinds of community spaces, which we need more of. I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Lunch after coming back from playing in the snow. It's a fairly large restaurant in North Bend with lots of tables both inside and out. During cold weather, there's outdoor heaters and hot air pumping in so it gets quite toasty. It is super popular so it gets hard to find tables sometimes and the front lot can get busy. You walk in, order your food, pay and get a buzzer to let you know when the food's ready. I'd get a table first. The food... The portions are big! Easily shareable IMO. For what you get, I think it's reasonable. We got the kids cheeseburger with fat curly fries ($14) -could feed an adult! The patty was thick and juicy. Also the white bean and elk chili ($22). Very herby with a good kick of spice. It was more liquidy though- we agreed it was more like a bean soup. Would've been good with rice in it or side of bread. Elk meatloaf on toasted bread sandwich- choice of fries, mixed greens or Caesar salad ($25) The dang thing was huge! Big slab of meatloaf with a good kick from the chipotle and sauce on thick slices of toasted bread. The meatloaf was moist and very flavorful and like I said, kind of spicy. The hit of our table was the braised beef pasta ($24). It was shredded beef tossed with pasta in a bordelaise sauce. Kind of like a stew with pasta. It's was flavorful with the red wine and beef flavors. Def would recommend this dish! I can see why this place is so popular- good food and there is an AWESOME play area outside for kids with play equipment, sand play and lots of fun things for kids to do. Def coming back here next time I'm in North Bend! read more

Good place to come with your kids or dog, especially after a hike. Cool interior and exterior spots to chill. Services is quick and friendly. Order up front and they page you when your order is ready. I was lucky to be here on a sunny January day and it was beautiful . Food was great. Only downside is that it seems a little overpriced. read more

After a rainy hike at the Rattlesnake Ledgr Trailhead this was the perfect spot for some cozy delicious lunch.I loved the ambiance it was rustic mixed with a mountain town vibe. Here is what I tried that was a ten out of ten; the bigfoot burger ,the braised beef pasta. Had to top it with one of the best cinnamon rolls i've ever had in my life. They warmed it up and it was the perfect amount of cinnamon and the frosting was so good. There was honestly nothing left and I had to buy more to take with me. I had an interesting drink, which was the Italian soda. Well, I thought it was just going to be sparkling water with syrup. They added half-and-half and it tasted kind of like a strawberry milkshake except it was bubbly. They have different options of syrups, but strawberry was quite delicious. I would definitely come back. read more

We went here on Father's Day because getting into Seattle was going to be a nightmare, so we headed East to South Fork cuz my husband likes beer. I had been here with friends previously and we all enjoyed our dishes and bevies. I had the chicken curry bowl that time and it was really good. This time the place was hopping with Fathers, family with a lot of young kids. The outdoors was also lively with a huge space where people were playing a variety of outdoor games, even a little volleyball. You could literally set up any lawn game. It used to be the Northbend Golf Course. This time I had the chicken Sando and my husband had the Brat. The hostess gave us fair warning that the food in the restaurant was taking about 45 minutes but the food truck out back was quicker. My husband's brat was ready in about 10 min from the Food Truck and mine took about 30 from the regular restaurant. Regardless they exceeded expectations. And both were good. I'm pretty particular so I wasn't totally blown over by the fried chicken or sauce (it was a sweet-ish honey like) the fried part was not quite as light and crispy as I prefer. You order your food and drink from a cashier and can leave a tab open if you wish. I actually like this method. They have at least 3 places to order from. The bar is excellent! Granted we both stood in line for a combined 30 min. No matter. The beer, wine, and cocktail choices are respectable. To note a few wine options are from DeLille Winery, Great craft beer options, and super fun cocktails--mine being the cherry limeade garnished with a soaked Bing cherry on a pine cone stick. The food? Yep, excellent for pub food as it goes beyond burgers and fried foods. On another note, they had a guy with a mike who had to make two announcements about lost kids. Yes, the place was like a big playground so parents had a bit of trouble Keeping an eye on their rug rats. I think this was also a great spot to take out of town guests. On the way out Mt Si looks spectacular! Can't wait to avoid that Seattle traffic again. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere. We are new to the area and went here on a recommendation. Will definitely return!

Come on, you guys--just go check it out for yourself! I've been here five times now, and every single time I'm blown away. Seriously, it never misses! The first time I came, I had the burrito and it was exactly what I was craving. The flavors were on point, the sauces packed a punch, and the whole meal was just... delicious. This place knows how to keep it tasty From that very first visit, I knew it was a spot worth sharing--so each time after, I brought friends. And let me tell you, every single one of them raved about it. It says a lot when people go out of their way to come back! It's also super family- and pet-friendly, which I love. There's a huge backyard for dogs to run and play, and kids are out here on bikes, jumping into the sandbox, even messing around with the slingshot. It's the kind of vibe you don't always find so close to the city. Outdoor seating is gorgeous--set right up against the mountains. And it's just a quick 25-minute hop from Seattle, so super convenient. If you're visiting Seattle in the summer (or live nearby), this is the perfect pit stop, hangout, meet-up spot, or day date vibe. I never say no when someone suggests going--just tell me when, and I'm there! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by after a quick little Rattlesnake Ridge hike when we noticed a bunch of cars pulled in and figured it had to be worth checking out. We were pleasantly surprised by how busy it was inside, yet how ample the seating options were--both indoors and outdoors. The space has a really cute, rustic, barn-like aesthetic that instantly sets the mood and makes it a fun place to hang out and unwind after a hike. We started with a cinnamon roll, warmed up, and it was really enjoyable--soft, cozy, and exactly what you'd want as a little sweet treat. For our mains, my boyfriend ordered the pulled pork mac and cheese, and I went with the pulled pork sandwich. His mac and cheese was good overall, but we both agreed it could've been cheesier--it was a bit overwhelmed by the BBQ sauce, which took away from the classic mac-and-cheese creaminess and consistency. Still tasty, just not quite as rich as we expected. As for my sandwich--messy but good, which is exactly what you want from a good BBQ sandwich. It was juicy, flavorful, and hit the spot after being outdoors. Overall, it's a really lovely place to check out, especially if you're already in the area or coming off a hike. While it's probably not something to write home about, we both agreed we'd happily stop by again if we were nearby. That said, we probably wouldn't make the 25-minute drive just for it--but it's a great bonus stop when the timing is right. read more

amazing mother's day service and an amazing place to spend the day! We had the avocado toast which had the avocado, avocado Mousse. Shaved Radish. Arugula, . Soft Boiled Egg. this was amazing! The french toast was perfect, not too sugary which my kid loved and lastly the heavenly Chicken sandwich with Crispy Chicken Breast. Pickled Peppers. Slaw. Dill Pickles and comes with Crispy potatoes instead of regular fries which was probably the best we ever had! Tips: 1. Parking is limited on a busy day but the overflow parking is amazing and its fun to walk through the golf course greenery to the restaurant. 2. There are plenty of tables but if you need something with a shade, you will need have someone in your party find a table while the other is on the line to order food and you will get a buzzer! super helpful & friendly staff. love the outdoor area for the kids to play and run around! we will be back for sure! read more

Went to this horrid place tonight. Took my granddaughter out for dinner. She enjoyed playing in the sandbox, but i was sitting near her while she played and all the other kids were absolutely obnoxious and rude with their drunk parents feeding their faces with no clue of how utterly disgusting their children are being. While waiting for our food we went to play on the big slingshot. Again rude bratty kids with drunk parent supervision. I actually had 4 drunks acost and harass me. They were threatening me with physical harm and throwing derogatory slurs. This place is an absolute joke! read more

South Fork North Bend - Cafes Near Me - North Bend, Washington

This is a bit of a hidden gem in North Bend. Outside of the main strip off exit 32. The owner has reimagined the old Riverbend Cafe into a magical foodie hangout paradise. Big tables to gather inside, or in the connected covered patio, or outside seating overlooking the old golf course, or the detached covered patio. So much space and perfect for families so kids can run around in the backyard and play games or in the sandbox. TVs to watch whatever Seattle Team is playing. All the food is amazing! For breakfast, I love the veggie benedict and my kiddo is obsessed with the bacon studded waffle with bananas and nutella. Also a fan of their burgers, chicken sando & bbq brisket sando. Order at the bar and get a beeper for when your food is ready. Great place to chill and never feel rushed. read more

South Fork North Bend is conveniently located a short six minute drive away from Rattlesnake Ledge Trail. My friend and I stopped by to grab something to eat later before we went hiking. It was quite busy at the time we arrived. There was almost no where to park. There wasn't much of a line to order food though. The space is a lot larger than it looks based off the building and parking lot. I ordered the Trailhead Burrito, which is on the smaller side. The staff are genuinely so friendly and sparked up a conversation with us before we left! read more

South Fork has great, quick, and reliable service. You order at the counter and are given a buzzer. Once the buzzer goes off you pick up your food at the counter.

Asking AI for a breakfast spot near me as we drove home from the pass led us here. Very unassuming as you drive up and walk in. Confused we were told to grab a menu and come back to order when we had decided what we wanted. Once we sat down and looked at the menu we realized we had stumbled upon something pretty amazing. The cocktail menu was fun and delectable, always a plus in my book! The breakfast menu had fun and interesting, dare I say almost foodie like choices. Even the traditional items held a twist. My husband had biscuits and gravy. But the biscuits were seasoned chive and black pepper biscuits and came topped with two over easy eggs. I had the Coned Beef Hash, which was so tasty and tender. It came topped with two poached eggs and also purple potatoes, peppers, onions and fingerling potatoes. My only comment would be it lacked a little seasoning. But when I looked back at the menu it was suppose to come with a horse radish crema. That would have made it perfect. I still loved it, but bummer I missed the sauce. Definitely not fine dining ambiance, but really good food. read more
