    S'more in action
    Serena S.

    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!

    The chips! Amazing!

    Back again. We had some friends coming in to town from Cle Elum, so we suggested meeting at this location as they were headed north towards Snohomish. We've been in here a couple times, and I don't think we've ever had a bad meal. Love the beer, selection, always can't find something really good. Awesome Sauce is AWESOME (That's the beer, BTW) We ventured out a little bit on this one, with choosing the wings with a little bit of the sauce on the side. We also had the grilled salmon salad. The only downside of the salmon salad was that the salmon, which was a very large and tasty piece of fish, was overcooked and kind of dry. The wings, were really good cooked nicely, and the sides of the blue cheese dip and Frank's red hot was a really good add-on. Love the outdoor seating, we all sat out there and enjoyed our lunches. Let's not forget to mention the service, they greet you immediately upon entering, and when we went up to order, they definitely are friendly and engaging. I enjoy talking to Peilani , I believe she's one of the owners. We will definitely be going back again soon.

    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.

    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!

    The decor and back patio are both appropriate and fantastic. The views out the back window and in front of the restaurant are amazing. The biscuits and gravy I got were cooked well and garnished perfectly. Very delicious. Love the coffee cup as well. The bathroom was perfect and up to the task.

    Spam musubi

    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!

    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 ;)

    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.

    Quinoa Salad with grilled blackened salmon
    Ayako S.

    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.

    Braised beef pasta $24

    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!

    Smoked Salon Udon Bowl
    Jacques I.

    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.

    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.

    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. Lived that I could sit outside or inside. Good food and great ambiance. Definitely coming back here with my friends. Love the park behind it to walk and spend time in the sun.

    This is a great place for beer since they offer high quality suds. Even non alcoholic options like…read morehop water. They have a food truck for Cascadia Pizza outside, which is great pizza. And since they don't have a kitchen, dogs are allowed inside. Service is friendly and helpful, although there's usually just a single bartender working which means you may have to wait for a beer during busy times. I normally would rate them 4 or 5 stars, but they don't list either the prices nor the type of glass they serve it in, so it's up to them how much they'll charge you for a drink and how much they'll give you. They don't even list this info on their website. I could ask the beertender, but when they are busy I feel bad doing this to them and inconveniencing those waiting in line behind me.

The beer is excellent, especially the seasonal releases. There's always something on tap that makes you slow down, pay attention, and then mentally note, "I need to have this again before it's gone." Thoughtful, well-balanced, and clearly brewed with care. The space has real personality. Han frozen in carbonite on the wall... solo, no Jabba in sight. It sets the tone immediately. Add pinball machines (yes, real pinball), and it feels more like a hangout than a tasting room. There are pinball tournaments! The staff is a huge part of why I keep coming back: friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. They know the beer, they like the beer, and it shows. Bonus points for being able to bring in local food. Grab something nearby, bring it in, pair it with a great pint, and you're set. They often have food trucks outback, which is great for those nights when you aren't in the mood to cook. Dinner + beer all in one spot. Amazing beer, amazing staff, and a space that gets it right. Volition is exactly what a local brewery should be.

We showed up last night, late, after we'd both been working downtown doing physical work that just wore us out. Sure, we're in our seventh decade, but we both stay busy! And we just didn't want to cook a dinner after we have given out all our energy. So we walked in, and noted that the place is brightly lit and feels homey while also feeling like a place to be comfortable and not worry about who's watching. We went up to the bar to order our food and drinks, and sat at a table with our drinks. We maybe were there about five to ten minutes and our food came out, fresh and hot and with amazing scents of delightful ingredients. I had the Spicy Burger, which comes with a *six* ounce patty, with cheese, lettuce & tomato and onion, and a spicy chipotle mayo sauce and pickled jalapenos on a brioche. I *love* spicy food anyway, and this hit the spot. Spicy enough to fill the craving I had, and juicy enough that I needed a dozen extra napkins to catch all the juices and spices. My wife had the fish & chips. The fish was made with battered cod, and it was flaky and tender to the point of being "fall apart in your mouth" fresh. The tartar sauce was very good, too. And we both were so very pleased with the fries. They cut the potatoes into strips maybe 1/4" thick and 1/2" wide, but then they dip them in beer batter before deep-frying them. They were *amazing* - crisp and hot and tasty, and well seasoned. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and we have made it a plan that the brewery will become one of the local restaurants we will return to often for a good meal after a hard day.
