Great place for excellent burgers and beer!!! All of the Mother burgers are great. This time I tried their daily special- Country Fried steak sandwich- chicken fried steak on a hoagie bun with a side of sausage gravy to dip it in. A new one for me and I loved it!! Superior service considering that the was standing room only!!!!

Because Trip Advisor exists, we donât have to just settle on all the fast food chains dotting the highways when weâre looking for a good and authentic lunch. A little research will help you find gems just like this one in Ellensburg, WA. It was clean, fun, real, and my lunch rocked.

Ate here on my overnight in Ellensburg. It is a bit away from downtown but still walkable (across from the Safeway store). The pizza was very good - also they have a "personal" size so you don't have to have left overs. I also had a Caesar salad - and it was one of the best restaurant ones I have had in a while. The wine was a bit pricy but very good.Service was efficient and friendly (I sat at the bar).Price was overall a bit on the high side.

Came through town with a friend who highly recommended the Palace Cafe.It was that transition between breakfast and lunch but went with a simple breakfast of bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast and coffee.It was pretty good ... next time Iâll stop for lunch

Ellensburg's family restaurant serving hand crafted burger, great steaks, fantastic kids meals & we offer a full bar with lots of TVs.

We picked this spot because it was within walking distance of our hotel and looked like it could handle a group. This establishment was clearly another popular chain burger place before becoming the Roadhouse. We were seated right away and greeted by our friendly waiter. Decided to share some appetizers and have drinks before we ordered. Pricing is a bit steep with all the entrees starting at the $15 mark and that would be for something basic like a hot sandwich or burger. That being said, everything we had was very tasty and this proved to be a good choice for our group.Thank you for joining us and Iâm glad you enjoyed the food and found it to be a good choice for your group. I hope you found our food to be a good value after dining with us.

We were traveling through town and stopped by Yellow Church Cafe for an early dinner. We were satisfied with the food and service received. We ordered the 14 oz steak and the roasted cedar plank steelhead, both were cooked to perfection with great texture and flavor. The butternut squash risotto as the side of one entree is also very delicious. Service is good. Although there is only one waiter working double jobs as a bartender/server, he moves things quickly and is attentive to every table in the restaurant. Price is also reasonable.
