The Palace has been our go-to restaurant for years when traveling to Ellensburg. Now it just seems…read morelike a worn and tired version of its former self. The food is so-so and the dining room is dated. The best thing was the service which was terrific. I don't know what other options are available, but you should look to find a place other than The Palace when visiting Ellensburg.

Omg. That food was so good!!…read more Hubby got the tenderloin and loved it which is super rare for him to say about steak when he eats out. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans, and had Gorgonzola cheese, as well as bacon chunks and mushrooms spread all over the steak. Meat was very tender and cooked exactly like he likes it which is medium rare. Portions of everything were generous. He also got a Caesar salad which he enjoyed but would ask for light dressing on it next time since it was way too much dressing My son got a basic burger. He thought it was very good but would prefer the Patti be a little shorter and wider than taller and less wide. The sandwiches and burgers don't come with sides which is weird. So we ordered the french fries to share. They're my very favorite type - medium thickness (1cm x 1cm), long, crispy but doesn't break when you bend it and not oily at all I had the BLT with avocado and pesto aioli sandwich but I made it into a grilled chicken burger. It was very good and the bacon there is amazing. So thick but not overly greasy either. And not fatty. Amazing flavor. Plus the walls are old brick and we love brick so really enjoyed the setting Great service too. He knew the menu really well and was always there when we needed him. Very friendly. I could tell he likes his job. We will be going back!

Took my wife out for our anniversary. She had a wonderful tortellini with garlic bread. I had their…read moreprime rib with fries and corn. She didn't have any beverage while I had their dragonberry mojito. The beverage was excellent, as was the tortellini and garlic bread, and the fries are possibly the best in Ellensburg. My cut of prime rib was more done than I ordered and was lacking in flavor. The doneness the establishment had control over, the taste, not so much. The corn was not very good, like it had been out too long, soft and not the best taste. The service was excellent! Our server Taylor was very attentive and worked hard to make our visit memorable. I left a tip a bit higher than what I normally would. The part though that is irritating to me is they charge a 3% credit card fee. This restaurant is equidistant between banks that I use. If I had known of this fee I could have had cash. Banking fees should be built into your pricing. $40 for a 10-12 ounce prime rib should contain enough profit to absorb the credit card fee. All in all a good meal that mostly checks the excellent box.

This has been a stop over point for a meal when driving I 90 through Ellensburg…read more The parking is on the street and easy to access. The restaurant has a nice porch out front and large indoor area. I had the fries and Lime Mahi Tacos. They. Had a nice flavor with a lot of cabbage on them. They had a ton of dressing which was a bit much for me but still good. The fries were delicious and hit the spot too. The service was friendly and quick. I've always enjoyed eating here and definitely The Porch has a big menu with a lot of options.

We watched her maintain her good attitude even with a dining room full of people, all vying for her attention. The rest of the wait staff was also very nice and we were greeted by friendly enthusiastic hostesses. The restaurant itself is lovely and you really feel like you are having a special night out. As a chef, yous all know i can be tough to please, so i try to give the benefit of the doubt! This is the third time we have eaten here hoping for it to be worthy of the prices. This last time, we decided i will take it home and fix it up to make it more palatable. I did share with Simone our thoughts on the food, and she let us know they have a new chef who is learning their menu. So, we will come back one more time to see if there is a positive change. We really want to enjoy coming here as it is one of the more affordable nicer dining options in the area. Well let yous know how it goes! To be continued...

Then again in the early early 2000's when both daughters were in music competitions @ CWU, it became an annual migration from the west side. Today my better half had a conference here and you can be sure my first thought when she told me was 'Campus U-Tote Em!' It's everything it needs to be: tasty reliable, and quick. Nothing fancy here, just old-style burgers & fixings done right. Lots of campus business--indoor & outdoor seating, but limited. Friendly, competent staff.
