Visited after a long hike at Mt. Rainier and couldn't be happier! One of the best burgers I have ever had, I highly recommend the Hillbilly burger. Portion sizes are great and the prices are one of the best in town. Service was also great, our server was so kind! read more

The burgers and salad were great. Service was quick and friendly. A lot of fun locals to hang out with. Red neck dive bar feel with one pool table and a juke box. read more

Small town bar that is family friendly until 9:00PM. I'd been craving a good burger, and this place did not disappoint. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised at how good the burgers were. The fries were really good as well but I'm on the fence about the onion rings. The sauce they serve was really good and the drinks, well, it's a bar so... Elbe is such a tiny little place but very quaint and cozy. If you're on your way through, I highly recommend stopping and supporting the locals. This bar is small and seating is limited and that's really my only notes. Maybe they could expand the building or build a large outdoor seating area. They have enough land to do so. I can envision an outdoor stage with live music events during the summer months and possibly a collaboration with the train museum or the boutique train car motel. They have a lot of potential in Elbe to become a bustling tourist destination if they implement some upgrades. People there seem friendly and the bar staff was no exception. We felt welcome and right at home. If you haven't been or haven't been in a while, get yourself on over to the Eble Bar & Grill and dig into a delicious burger! Thanks for reading and Cheers! read more

Dive bar. Yes. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a place where 'everyone knows your name' in a small town. Since mountain Base camp was closed we ended up here. The reviews of the burgers and fries were great so we gave it a ride. Hubby was able to get a beer he liked but my wine was dreadful. What was I thinking, hoping to get a California Chardonnay here? We ordered a burger and fries and they arrived fairly quick. Burger was overdone but we weren't asked, or offered, any option for doneness. Fries were hand cut and good but not over the top. We split the burger and it actually turned out to be too small for us to share. It tasted ok but again, not anything like the reviews seem to suggest. Beggars can't be choosers and we have decided to stay in our cabin tonight and make Ramen. read more

If you know me, you know I love a good dive bar. Elbe Bar & Grill definitely fits the bill and was a hit with us! We were just stopping by for a quick drink and snack before leaving town and didn't want to leave. They have a solid selection of drinks and they even have pickle juice which is our chaser of choice for tequila. Not sure of what the brand was, but it was good pickle juice, too! The bartender was also super nice. They have TouchTunes as well to play whatever music you want to vibe to while visiting. We ordered some of the mozzarella sticks and they were a little too heavy on the breading for my taste, but they weren't bad. Definitely a cute little spot for a drink when in town. I believe there are a few tables that kids are allowed at too outside of the bar area if you're wanting to come with your family. read more

Very good burger and the waitress was nice. We appreciated the place was clean and the service was fast!

"I mean it's alright." GF's burger was chock full of onions. Mine had the peanut butter which I've gotta say was pretty good. Service was a bit all over the place. Beers arrived quick but the mozzarella sticks definitely spent way too long on the fryer. We wanted to love this place, and we did love certain things. Bar chatter is great, you can feel the heritage here. But it may just be that: a place to grab a beer, chop it up with some of the locals and bounce. read more

I've been driving past this place for decades & finally decided to stop last week to give it a try. It's just a bar, but I have to say, I was impressed with it. Their bacon cheese burger was excellent, and so was their crispy chicken sandwich. They offer Mac & Jack's for beer, one of my favorites, and other beers on tap, too. I'm going back the next time I drive by since I forgot my phone to take pictures of the food & fries. The bar tender and all the other folks were frindly there too. It was an enjoyable experience. read more

It took almost 10 minutes to order the food and over an hour for it to get to the table. People that came in after me were served 20 minutes before me. The food is good but not wait for an hour good. read more

Theeeee best burger I've had in a llooonngg time! "Surely you can't be serious." Actually, I am serious....and don't call me Shirley. My guy and I came upon the Elbe Tavern and decided to give them a try. We were really lucky because it was the first day being open since the COVID restrictions lightened up a bit. Our server was really sweet and efficient. She had her baby girl in the tavern with her for a bit since she didn't have a babysitter available but no one minded at all...we were all just really happy to be there! I had the Boinker Burger and holy cow, it was amazing. My husband had the bacon cheeseburger and he said the same thing. Kudos to the cook! The burgers are cooked to perfection and really big too ~ a gorgeous shiny bun tops it off too. You honestly can't go wrong ordering a burger at Elbe Tavern. The beer and overall ambiance was exactly what we needed to finish off a fantastic lunch. read more

Get the onion rings the onion rings do not forget the onion rings. Delicious crispy flaky it almost tasted like it was something else like white and onion would be if it were more than a man but less than a God you know kind of thing. They said they were the best burger in town pretty damn close like it like it a lot my father-in-law and both of my uncles were very happy plenty of fries monsters burger excellent crutch perfectly cooked perfectly seasoned read more

On a recent visit to family we stopped here for a burger and cocktails, actually the food was very good! Large portions all made fresh to order and the drinks were very good and not too pricy. It's a small little tavern and nothing special inside, but quality of food and drink, we'll stop in again. read more

This place is awful. 1. No one, including all staff and patrons, wore a mask despite state requirements and the sign on the door that said it was required. 2. The burger I ordered was so greasy that the bun and the fries were completely soggy in the 9 minutes it took me to drive back to where I was staying. It tasted o.k. but was kind of revolting to eat because of how it everything was soaked in greasy liquid. 3. This place has madddd racist undertones. There are dollars stapled to the walls as "decoration." Many have racist and sexist messages on them, disparaging BLM and encouraging touching women inappropriately. read more

Heading home from a visit to Paradise, we called in an order from Ashford, where we first got cell reception. Being that the full Covid lockdown is in full order again, we didn't have high hopes that there would be much of a menu, but they gave us a full rundown of what was available. "Any burger you want, as long as it doesn't have bacon!" I ordered a classic Cheeseburger, with fries. By the time I'd pulled up to the door, it was already boxed up and ready for the road. Server was friendly, to boot! The food was very delicous - so tasty and dripping with savory sauce! The fries were sinfully good - so much deep-fried goodness! My arteries might be giving it a different score, but I loved everything about it. Thanks for the prompt service! read more

The Elbe Tavern is your classic dive bar. It's not much to look at and when you walk inside, there is a good chance it's going to be full of locals that are going to give you the side eye. You can sit wherever you want and the bartender was pretty quick to come around and give us a menu. My buddy and I both ordered a pint and a bacon cheeseburger. The pints were cold and tasted great. They had a nice selection of domestic and craft brews and our burgers arrived quickly. They were greasy and delicious and the fries matched. The burger was perfectly cooked and had a reasonable amount of bacon and cheese. The bun appeared to be rolled in butter which was again, very greasy, but dive bar delicious. The fries were hand cut and well salted, but could have used another couple of minutes in the fryer. Otherwise, they were delicious and the whole lunch really hit the spot. Two pints and a burger cost me $22 which was more than reasonable and I'll definitely be back. Also, the bathroom was clean. That's nice for a bar. read more

amazing fries! best we've had in ages, perfectly firm yet juicy. bun was fantastic. patty was the only let down: thin, hard and pretty basic. service was very friendly and efficient. open at 11 so its a great option for an early lunch before a hike. read more

This place was a quick stop while passing thru town after lunch. Tried the peanut butter "boinker" burger which was quiet interesting. Food was hot and fresh, a little pricey for American cuisine with soggy but overcooked home fries. Friendly service and noisy atmosphere so we sat in the back room. read more

Disclaimer-- we did not get a chance to try their food! This review is not based on food/taste. My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday night at roughly 8pm and as soon as we walked in we just felt a very unfriendly vibe. We only mentioned it to each other after we left. There was some seating available at the bar area since it was pretty packed but the local sitting next to the seats purposely put his leg up so we couldn't sit there. The rest of the evening nobody sat in those stools, meaning he wasn't saving seats for anyone. He just didn't want us sitting there, odd. That's besides the point though, we sat for 20 minutes just go grab a shot each and the bar attender or any waitress/waiter was nowhere to be seen. Everyone seemed to be tipsy out of their minds and we just sat there waiting, waiting, waiting. We finally decided to just get out of there . Reason for 2 stars is because food smelled really delicious. Would have loved to try it but honestly I will not be back to do so. As we walked out we heard one of the women drinking on the side yell out "BYE" in a very snotty voice laughing her head off. I'm not sure what's up with this place and why people who dine/drink here are so incredibly rude but it's enough for me to not give it a second chance. read more

Ate here before and it was really good however last night I got the mushroom Swiss and French fries and they were insanely salty. I was starving though so choked down the burger but could only manage a few French fries. If there were ketchup available it would have helped mask all that salt a lot but unfortunately there were not any condiments available. Pretty expensive meal for the terrible quality read more

One person working the bar and she was able to cook, serve and interact with multiple patrons very efficiently. Had some good drinks, but didn't notice the Elbe IPA that I will need to be back to try next time. Pizza is very cheesy and a great addition to some beer! read more

The people were nice. Most who entered were greeted by name. The food was decent. The burger was pretty good: meaty, greasy and big. The fries needed salt and were a kind of stale. Can someone please clean this place, it would be so much better? A window into the kitchen revealed grease and filth. The whole place was very dirty. The booths were covered in grease and dust. The bathroom had dirt everywhere. The sink and paper towel dispenser were covered in grease and dirt. Pee on the floor. Dirt and rotting wood around the toilet. The Fox News Channel was distracting. The dollars were cool if you can ignore the political statements on a 1/4 of them. Can someone please clean the pool table? read more

So glad we stopped in this place! It is definitely a dive bar with great bar food! We had 3 different burgers all of which were fantastic! The fries and onion rings were also so delicious! Kids are welcome until 10 pm. The bartender was super friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back in! read more

Best place I've ever eaten after a fishing trip. Hot and fresh food with a scenic view. I just finished fishing at Mineral Lake and decided to eat at Elbe's Tavern for lunch. It wasn't all that busy so we were immediately seated and menus handed. The menu wasn't expansive which was understandable because it's a small and quaint restaurant. I ordered the hillbilly deluxe burger. The food was ready and I was in excitement because it looked delicious! The first bite was the fries. They were hot, crispy, freshly cut and well seasoned fries. I didn't even need to put ketchup because they tasted so good! It took me a while to work on the burger because it was so big and loaded with toppings like 2 patties, sautéed opinions and jalapeños. I almost had to use a fork instead of using my hands lol. That bite tasted like a party in my mouth. The burger was incredibly juicy and exquisite. Overall, the staff were awesome, food was incredible and a go to place after a successful fishing trip. Won't hesitate to go back when I'm in town. read more
