Well when the wise said "Some of the best food around can be found in the mountains" you better listen! (This is me, I am the wise) The Commonwealth had never once disappointed me. Service has always been nice, food has always been fast, fresh, piping hot, and most importantly delicious. Today I tried out the nachos and buffalo chicken sando. When I tell you this chicken sandwich was genuinely one of the best I've had in the past 10 years I don't joke. Look at me and in the eyes right now. I am a buffalo chicken sandwich connoisseur. You hear me, connoisseur. Anyway the commonwealth complied with all my needed chicken sandwich needs. 1. Crispy (duh) 2. Moist 3. Flavorful 4. Actually good gluten free breading (Theirs was fantastic). And this one was perfectly coated in buffalo sauce. The nachos were also quite splendid. Pickled onions were a good touch. I'm already salivating thinking about coming back read more

Typical upscale bar food. Friendly service. They have gf bun options and a pretty good burger. Burgers come with wedge fries. A bit pricier, but we're next to a ski resort so.. read more

The Commonwealth - Burgers Near Me - Snoqualmie Pass, Washington

Was glamping at Denny Creek and drove up to Snoqualmie summit to have lunch at The Commonwealth, A+ experience to say the least. Nate and Gabe's management of the floor stood out most to me, those guys know what they're doing. From the minute our order was taken to the end of the meal those guys were on top of it. The delicious food was the best, you can see the kitchen staff working just as hard as the guys up front. Great experience. John V Grandview, WA read more

The family and I stopped by for dinner on the way to Oktoberfest and was worth the pit stop. My father in-law and I went with the 906 burger in which was very juicy and delicious burger, wife had veggie burger, mother in-law had the prime rib dinner, and our oldest had the Mac and cheese. The Hefeweizen was one of the best I have living in the Olympia/Seattle area and almost gave me that German true taste. Service was great, greeted as we walked in and the food order was quick as the Mariners ALDS 2-2 game was playing. Not being snow season yet the place was very lively and almost full with quest. A great bar/restaurant read more

This place had such a fun vibe!! The theme was super unique and the decorations were so fun to look at. It was pretty busy in there when we went, but we were still able to get sat pretty quickly at a hightop by the bar. It did kind of suck to get sat there after all because our server was the bartender, and she was super busy with everyone there, which of course was understandable just unfortunate for our experience. It didn't take her a long time to greet us, but we hadn't decided on what we were ordering yet so after she took our drinks it took a while for her to come back to take our order. I think she also might have forgotten to put in our order because our food came in at the same time as another couple next to us who arrived around 25-30 minutes after we did. That was another thing: we were sat at a hightop table that they had sat another couple at the other end with a space in between us, but then halfway through they asked to sit another couple in the empty space between us. It was a really tight squeeze and I understand that it was packed, but I just think squeezing three different parties at one table was super uncomfortable and we barely had room for all the food we ordered. The table was already super close to the bar and the people sat behind us had to ask us to scoot in anytime they needed to get by to use the restroom. The food was good!! I didn't get a photo, but we ordered the sweet and spicy teriyaki wings to start which were sooo amazing. My husband said that they were the best wings he has ever had! For our mains, we both ordered burgers and fries. We also ordered a cup of chili, and the appetizer Mac and Cheese to split as well. The burgers were really good, but really kind of small for the price tag. The fries and chili were also really good. The Mac and Cheese looked and sounded really good, but the cheese sauce was super watery. The breadcrumb topping was pretty good, but I don't think that I would order it again. They also have really good sauces! We got the ranch, garlic aioli, and the chipotle aioli. The wings were definitely the best part of the whole experience! I think this place would be a lot better if it hadn't have been so busy. However, I doubt that this happens very often since it is very close to a hotel, and it's one of the only restaurants in that area. But it's definitely worth the try if you are in the area! read more

Never been here in the winter snow but I can see that it can be super packed. Next to the brewery. Outdoor seating and indoor seating. American food and many drink options. Tomato soup was bland. But they do all the other food decent. Cant go wrong with the burger. Potato wedges are a thing here! read more

I love the food. I love everything about it., I also love the service people there they're kind, sweet and cheerful. I also love their Ambiance music and other stuff I love what they put on the TV. It's interested to me, but there's always one service that doesn't like us whenever I try to order food this person hangs up the phone on me and my brother it's like it had enough with us whenever I tried to call. It goes straight to voicemail even though it's not busy or anything at that restaurant read more

Evening dinner with the Mr. We was seated with another couple who welcomed us to their table. Staff were welcoming and informative with the menu options. The music playing was comforting and mood setting. The food was delicious. They were able to make a substitute for me to enjoy beets with my meal. Most definitely a great choice to dine here. read more

Came in after snowboarding. Had a beer and the Grilled Cheese and tomato soup. Food and service was great! Ambience is a nice.

Ordered a veggie burger and their Beecher's Dru Bru Mac & Cheese to go. They both delicious! The Mac sauce had a very nice béchamel base making super creamy. Whatever beer they used mellowed out the sharpness of the Beecher's and complimented it very well. The green onions and potato chip topping adding a nice crunchy texture and a big salty flavor boost. The house made Veggie Burger might honestly be one of the best I've ever had. It had so much flavor and I can only speculated but it seemed like it was made of a blend of quinoa, brown rice, black beans, mushrooms, sweet potato, onion, carrot, garlic, and pepper. It had a nice seared crispy edge and a moist but not mushy interior. Great mouthfeel and actually tasted like well seasoned veggies forming a burger. The garlic aioli on top was phenomenal. Their lettuce and tomato was very fresh. And the bun was so pillowy! Will definitely be back again for another amazing post-hike meal. read more

Potato wedges are back! Thank you, Commonwealth! You're definitely back to 5 stars for us!

Menu updated in 2025. No longer has the pulled pork sandwich which is super disappointing. Probably won't come here anymore because the menu doesn't have anything my wife likes besides a $20 grilled cheese and tomato soup. Side of fries $8.50. Probably just grab food in North Bend to avoid the crowds and overpriced items. read more

We sat outside because we had our pup and they had a plethora of heaters to keep up warm outside (thankfully we had our ski gear too.) I wish I got pictures but the Mac and cheese and tacos were great! I was expecting bar food but it was definitely elevated. Drinks and service was nice! read more

Love Love Love coming here. Maybe because it's a comfort place. But still Love coming here. If you go and Nathan is working, ask to sit in his area and tell him Denice said Hi. If you're a person of color and want to support a brother, ask to sit in Nathan's area. Haven't had anything yet that I haven't enjoyed on the menu. And I enjoy trying the different non-IPA beers. Most seating is communal, long connected tables that utilizes the space the best and supports connection. There's some bar seating and outdoor seating. It's a family-friendly place and it's busy and loud as hell in the Winter season. I'm not the only person who loves this place. Vegans and vegetarians can find something but won't have a lot of options. I came back once when I was overcharged but didn't notice it right away. They immediately corrected the mistake without making me prove anything or feel like a criminal. Zero drama. I really appreciated that. This is a Community Place and in the beginning not being a regular season pass holder I definitely felt like an "outsider". Even though I only get there half a dozen times a year, I now feel super comfortable there even solo. Some of the servers actually remember me - even with the hundreds and hundreds of people who dine there annually. It's that kind of place. read more

We were hiking nearby and decided to grab a bite. I noticed a review about the chicken sandwich which made it sound necessary, so we called in an order. They had a decent crowd but our order was ready extremely fast. We chose that crispy chicken sandwich with fries and the friend dip with homemade chips. We had plans of splitting, but I loved the chicken so much and the husband preferred the dip, so we went our separate ways. He really enjoyed his sandwich, although the chips were only okay compared to the potato wedges, so I was forced to share those...luckily there were enough or I might have been stingy. The other reviewer was right, the chicken sandwich was really good, one of the best I've had. The to-go pictures I took don't do the food any justice, our dinners were yum. Fast, friendly service and really good food...no complaints here! read more

Just when you realize you passed Cle Elum and possibly the last sign of a restaurant, but still have a but to go before Seattle- you hit Snoqualmie Pass. We lucked out finding The Commonwealth! Food was fresh, hot, and tasty! I had the burger, slightly undercooked but still tasted great. My husband had the salmon sandwich, and my kids shared a pretzel, wings, and some twisted mac and cheese. Food was all great. My kids also had a cookie sundae which I snuck a bite of- soooo good! Service was fantastic once we were at a table, but took quite awhile before someone noticed us waiting to be sat (a large group had amassed of people waiting at that point). Cool atmosphere- attached to the snowboarding museum! read more

The Commonwealth - Salmon burger - Burgers Near Me - Snoqualmie Pass, Washington

Another restaurant with decent food but with those burgers-sandwiches on those mini brioche buns about 2/3 size of regular buns. I've been to other places that serve their sandwiches on these piddly things, what? to save a bit of money? Make them look shi-shi? And as long as I'm complaining, the nearby Dru Bru beers they serve here are some of the least satisfying of craft brews I've had - and I've hand literally hundreds over 25 years. The pilsner I just had wasn't any better than a Coors light. I keep trying Dru Bru beer types and keep leaving unsatisfied. Clearly I hadn't tried enough when I posted my first review. read more

We were passing through Snoqualmie Pass and stopped here for lunch. It was a little late in the afternoon. There weren't many options around; and we found this place where there's parking. It's a warm and cozy place; with seating inside and outside. Decor is really interesting. Staffs were super friendly and helpful. The wait time was around 45 mins. We ordered Veggie Burger, Grilled Cheese & Tomato Basil Soup, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Crispy Brussels Sprouts. The food arrived quickly. Loved the food. It's quite a comfort food. Portion is adequate. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts was a real surprise. The burger comes with a load of crispy potato wedges. Don't think anyone would really e able to finish it! Food is great. Service is fantastic. Went there with least expectations and it turned out to be a great one! Now I know where to go for food if I am in this area again! read more

Stopped here Saturday early evening after a day at the summit and we had a great time! Friends and I ordered the Vegan Burger, Mac & Cheese, and the Beet salad and everything was super tasty. Dessert was a cookie sunday which was so good and friends got espresso martinis to boot which they enjoyed. The place was busy but had no issue parking, sat in the bar area and the service was attentive and efficient. They also had some great trivia going on. We had a great time and will definitely be back! read more

This is a great in door outdoor spot close to the house which is great we can just walk down. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. They also have a bar with spots tv as well, fire place, and music. It is definitely a cute spot. My babies loved it and they had coloring for the kids. It's kid and dog friendly. We had the butger, chicken Alfredo (amazing), grill cheese, tomato soup, chilly, brussel sprouts, French dip, coconut prawns, hot dog. Everything was great. We will definitely be back soon. There is parking out front. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch after doing a hike nearby. Grabbed a seat at the bar, which was perfect since I was solo. One of the bartenders got me a beer right away which was perfect as I browsed their online menu. With some serious hiker hunger taking over, I opted for the no brainer option and picked the burger, adding bacon and avocado. I think the order was out in about 10 minutes or so, which was fantastic. The burger was phenomenal and probably my favorite besides the one at Old Stove. It's a good sized patty coupled with a nice garlic aioli. I'm usually not as big of a fan of potato wedges but they were hot and crispy. Fast and efficient service. Everything was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to return again. read more

Sucks. The kids love it. Typical mediocre burger joint. They way proud of their food. Nah. Mostly bad stuff from a box. Way over priced. I have been full time at pass for 30 years. We eat there once or twice a year as the Summit pancake house is worse. Dont eat here. If you like green beer and loud places with inhuman food. Go! Although Wendys in Cle Elum is better all around. Nothing decent on North Bend, especially fast food. read more

The food was great, but I have an allergy that the server and line cooks didn't bother to ensure was served. I spent the remainder of the day sick, and vomiting. Not worth the money when you can't keep the food down. Don't go if you have food allergies. read more

My friend and I were traveling to eastern Washington for a gal's weekend and we left on a Friday after work when of course, traffic was shitty. I-90 was reduced to one lane around the Pass, so we decided to grab a beer and wait for traffic to die down. It was a good decision. We wanted to visit Dru Bru Brewery next door, but the entire patio section was full. So we decided to go next door to The Commonwealth where they had a larger patio, plus Dru Bru beer and other libations. We were able to seat ourselves and found a spot by the fire pit. Service was slow because it looked like there was one server for most of the patio area. But we weren't in a hurry, since we were just wanting to chill with a beer instead of waste gas in stop-and-go traffic. I had the Dru Bru Hop Session IPA while my friend had a cider. IPA was solid. We had dinner plans already, but the food looked appetizing. The menu featured a handful of different, classic items. I'll have to dine here next time. The setting was chill here, and love that the Pass has this small area of businesses where people can hang out after playing on the mountain...or stopping by en route to eastern Washington. read more

This visit was totally a shot in the dark but ended up as a bullseye. I loved this chicken sandwich so much I legit wanted a second one immediately after. The chicken was moist and delicious and the breading crispy. The potato wedges had a perfect salt layer and a great crunch with creamy interior. Hungry yet? The pièce de résistance was the fry sauce (yes I'm going full français over some spiced mayo). Chipotle-seasoned and offering an excellent amount of heat, I used up two full dipping dishes. I even tried some on the sandwich unnecessarily since it needed nothing extra. I wish I lived closer than 460 miles to this place because I would definitely go here again. Others in my party had Cubans and burgers and were all happy too. Service was great and outdoor seating with the gas heater was delightful. The interior is full of personality too. Fully deserving of these stars. read more

Love Snoqualmie Pass or driving on I-90 on the weekends? You ever wonder if there's anything nearby that's delicious and edible? Well, I've got a great place for you! The Commonwealth is my go to restaurant whenever I'm hiking near Snoqualmie. I dream of the mouth watering burgers and fries whenever I'm descending from Snow Lake or after tubing in the snow. Nothing beats those fries! I love supporting local restaurants and make sure to tell everyone I know to stop by and eat here. The great thing is they have great outdoor seating and if you need a nice cold beer they have some on tap or you can mosey on over to the brewery next door. Go and try them out, your taste buds will thank you! read more

Whether you're here because of an icy butt, or an empty stomach, this restaurant will warm your cockles. The brussel sprouts are savory and packed with great texture. Each piece of fried cheese is a tiny present for your mouth. The servers are mostly confused and sweating over every order, but the food arrives in a steamy glory that makes up for all the panic. If you look up and around you'll find quirky decor that might put a smile on your face, or a crinkle on your forehead, depending on how closely you look and if you notice the dust. read more

During our Seattle vacation we decided to drive outside the city and see what the mountain views were like. Along the drive, we stumbled upon this little gem. This restaurant is right next to a ski life, ski museum and Dru Bru's (another patron told me they are possibly all owned by the same company). We decided to get an afternoon snack here and sit inside for a few. They have family style seating as well as a counter that goes along the window where you can look out. They also have a patio outside with picnic tables and you can bring your pet. The menu is a one pager - we ordered a cup of beefalo chili (yes that is beef and buffalo meat mixed together) and it was really good. Hubby was most impressed with the spinach artichoke appetizer - it was all fresh - fresh artichoke, spinach and shaved Parmesan. It melted together as we stirred it. I definitely recommend both items. Overall our server was friendly and helpful. One weird thing that happened is our server was helpful others for a few, so I asked another server if we could have some butter (fro the cornbread). It seemed to be complicated and a big deal. He then asked another server, who went to the food pickup area, but then came back out and went and told my server. Then my server came over to ask if I'd like butter (yes please) and then went back and got it. I don't think this should be so complicated.... read more
