    We stopped by on our way back to Seattle from Eastern Washington University football game. Loved it!! Food was fresh, delicious, customer service was great! Even the customers dining in and walking in were awesome! The server knew their names. I love places like this, Thank you for fueling us after a long weekend and the special welcoming experience. We plan to make this a tradition to stop by on the way home after EWU games! We ordered our food in advance and it was ready when we arrived with fresh coffee to take on the road. Thank you!

    We stopped here on our way to Florida and found an absolute gem. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding--truly above and beyond. If you're in the area, definitely take a moment to stop in and grab a bite. You won't be disappointed!

    I love these rustic small town diners. It's very popular and offers breakfast all day, as well as lunch and dinner options. Service did take a while as they were very busy. I had the mushroom burger with the soup of the day. The bun was super soft and the burger was good. The Hubbs opted for the hamburger steak breakfast and was a little disappointed that the meat was overcooked. We wanted to try their pies but ran out of time and needed to get back on the road. Overall, a good stop.

    My husband said the machine in the gents' featured Brut. Wish I had had a quarter on me.

    Look, this is a roadside cafe in Ritzville, Washington, which is very much my jam but it might not be yours. They were open when we needed them and I loved them for that as much as anything. Steak, eggs, and hashbrowns were all fresh, delicious, and prepared exactly as ordered. So was the toast (not pictured). Coffee was great. Service was great. (Our server was sharp and a little salty and excellent.) Most of the people there at our odd hour were regulars and I wanted to linger just to hear them reminisce and chat up strangers. Staff were kind to them, and just as nice to the ragtag lot making a brief stop on their way to somewhere else. And get a load of this fragrance dispenser in the loo! What a hoot. Well worth the stop.

    Wonderful Experience @ Jake's Cafe in Ritzville, WA. ! Great service on a Saturday morning by a lovely young lady. She was enthusiastic and attentive. We loved our breakfast meals and the delicious homemade cinnamon roll! I'll try to get a donut next time before they sell out. Restaurant itself was older, but clean and comfortable. I loved the nostalgic feel of it all. Brings you back in time. Thank you.

    Stopped in on my travel from Hinkle, Or. to Spokane, Wa. Not a whole lot of choices on my drive. Found this place in Ritzville, Wa. Truck stop style cafe. I ordered the Rib eye, medium well and when I received it was on the rare side. Sent it back for some more flame on the meat. Came back perfect. I know they are fatty but this was 45% fat. Also tried the Turkey noodle soup... super delicious. Corn and salad was also good. Cherry pie and ice cream home made was awesome. Inside was 30% filled with customers and super quite like a library. Typical cafe besides how quite it was. The service was great and friendly Environment was truck stop atmosphere Even sell condoms in the bathroom...lol... I guess for the truck lizards lol

    The lasagne special was great. It's home style with cottage cheese, chunky tomato, and plenty of meat, in a HUGE serving.

    Skip (or Skipper) bought Slim's Bar & Grill in 1975 from from the family who opened it in 1909 or…read more1913, depending on whom you ask. Lind is a wheat town full of wheat people, and Slim's is the only bar, and the only grill. If it happened in Lind, it probably happened at Slim's. If it didn't happen at Slim's, it probably happened at the annual Combine Destruction Derby (2nd weekend in June) or the amateur street races (September). See my review of Lind, Washington: http://www.yelp.com/biz/djfdrnljUc_29YNGCfaMng I get a really nice feeling stepping into Slim's; I just know I'll have a good meal. My waitress Jeannie was nice, and recommended the broasted chicken with jo-jos (fried wedge potatoes). The chicken was as amazing as she promised ... fried with a nice salty flavor ... not greasy, just wonderful. The jo-jos were actually a little bland and pasty, but not terrible. I had no regrets eating all of them, anyway. The grill part is connected to the bar, which has a separate entrance. The voices of locals carousing and having a good time came bouncing through the joint. It was a good sound. Everybody knows everybody else in this town of 300-or-so people. It feels like home ... not my home, but a home nonetheless. If you're ever passing through southeast Washington state, 13 miles south of Ritzville, make your way to Lind. BTW, they serve breakfast anytime. One star for being a local favorite Two stars for have the best chicken I've had in a while One star for down-home One more start would go for having breakfast "all the time," but they don't open until ten, so it's not really "all" the time, is it?

    This bar was a good place at one point and time but now i dont think too highly of it all the…read moretweakers n shit that run the place skip diesnt deserve the trash that works for him He deserves better then that scum.

They also have a big outdoor patio and occasionally host live band nights, which makes for an especially fun night out. The drinks are great, the prices are reasonable, and the bar food is consistently good. Sammy and Kenna are phenomenal bartenders, and Jimmy is a fantastic chef. The owners, Jason and his wife Erica, are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they make a point of getting to know their customers. Everyone here is warm, personable, and genuinely makes the place feel like a community. Horns is the perfect local watering hole for good food, great drinks, great music, friendly people, and a lot of fun. It has that classic Cheers-style atmosphere where you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. Highly recommend!
