Staying one night in E Wenatchee, we walked from our motel to El Porton. We were seated right away. Service was excellent and we received our food in a good time. The portions were ample. Everyone enjoyed their food and the prices were moderate. Overall a very good experience and good food.

Discovered Mela after an early morning walk while staying at the convention center. Friendly waitstaff, good coffee and good food at reasonable prices drew my husband, our friends, and me back again the next day (but it was Sunday and they open at 0800, which was a bit of a bummer for us traveling on that morning). The vegetation burrito was great, even though I'm not a vegetarian! Hubs and friends had the quinoa patty with eggs and they enjoyed it! Coffee wasn't particularly hot but that was okay. Lovely relaxed vibe with local art for sale encouraged us to stay and visit. Feels like a local coffee shop and not a franchise. Nice job!
3. Wild Huckleberry

One of the joys of traveling through “small towns” is the unique opportunity to explore local stops and fare that impart a signature to both the city and your journey.
The Wild Huckleberry is wonderfully built into what appears to be a historic home situated at a busy intersection. But, more importantly than a description of the place is the quality of the food, and the service.
The wait? About twenty minutes, in a small entry foyer; the bustle of the place alone is an imperative of its popularity, on this particular cool Sunday morning. A friendly hostess led us to our table, where we were almost immediately greeted by a young lady who could not have been more welcoming. Coffee was poured, greetings were given, and we were provided menus.
Ah, the joy of breakfast choices, and, knowing that while my preference lies towards the “simple”’ I awaited my food with great anticipation. And there it was: perfectly done “over easy” eggs, crispy toast, crunchy hash browns, succulent bacon, and for my partner, the simple but powerful elegance of eggs Benedict. Great conversation, the delight of cacophony around us, an attentive young lady, and a setting that is classic, rustic, and inviting; what more can one desire?
The Wild Huckleberry is nothing less than a comfortable, inviting haven for families, travelers, or someone who is looking for a wonderful respite. With delicious food, generous servings, comfortable atmosphere, friendly waitstaff, and reasonable prices, I couldn’t give a better recommendation. This is no chain eatery - this is simple delight. We WILL be back again.
Enjoy!!

The real deal. Fountain was built decades ago and moved two blocks down the street. Grilled cheese sandwich and real malted milk shakes just like in the 1950's. Treat yourself and go.

This place is dangerous. The donuts were outstanding. So were the frosted sugar cookies. We were in town for the weekend. If we lived there we would go broke and gain 50 lbs. Friendly staff. Would loved to have tried the sandwiches. They sounded yummy.

We feature award winning wine selections of both Italian and local wines. Add gourmet Italian cuisine and you have a recipe for a great dining experience!
Reviewed By Kev_Anderson - Longview, Washington
Tables are small but so are the servings...LOL. Chef Ramsey style quality and serving size. Decor was from 70"s. I worried the entire meal if there was asbestos in the popcorn ceiling. Dinner for two will run you $100 plus tip. Before returning to the hotel we stopped and grabbed two whoopers for $6 as we were still hungry.

If you like boneless chicken there is, in my opinion, none better than Larry's. I literally have been eating Larry's for 40 years. The only downside is their limited hours. Just plan a time to go when they are open and you'll be very happy. YUMMY!
8. McGlinn's Public House
Overall Ratings

Local favorite year after year featuring fresh and local foods from scratch. Open kitchen with wood fired oven in wonderful historical atmosphere. Great selection of Wenatchee area wines and Northwest ales. Hand made pizzas, hand cut steaks, pastas, specialty sandwiches and burgers, seafood, and many signature salads. Come see why we are a top rated Tripadvisor restaurant.

The atmosphere at McGlinns is welcoming, warm and family friendly. We had the pizza for the first time and it was really good, They have some fun combinations and the thin crust is delicious. Generous toppings. We returned for dessert one afternoon. The lime cheesecake was delicious and fresh. The Toffee Mousse pie was also very good - rich. The staff is accommodating and friendly. On a previous visit we had the lamb chop - perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The Tzakiki Burger is delicious but messy.

The atmosphere is delightful. A beautiful mural covers one wall. More importantly the food was excellent! I had the beef stroganoff, my husband had the borscht. You couldn't ask for any better. The service was impeccable. The price was reasonable. Excellent all the way around!
