Apparently there are two ways to secure a table: make a reservation for a specific time and put a deposit down, or put your name on the waitlist. This wasn't really explained to me from the beginning. When our 45 minutes was near, the hostess told me it could be another 45 min because the reservations had priority over me. Huh? Why the two systems? Seemed rather confusing. Fortunately, the hostess recognized my irritation and was able to seat us within a few minutes. The food was hearty and satisfying and the service was decent.

This is the main dining area at Crystal Mountain and probably the place to get the cheapest grab…read moreand go food. It's just a bunch of food stands you can order/grab from, and you can find your own seats. During weekend lunch hours, it's packed here and very difficult to find seating for groups. There is a lot of variety for food here- sandwiches, pasta, pizza, burger. You just go to what station of food you want and place an order! In some cases, the food is Pre made and you can just grab and go. The prices here are (unsurprisingly) high, but there aren't too many options here for a quick bite, so all of the restaurants and eateries on Crystal are a little pricey. Expect to spend 10-15 for a simple lunch. The food was pretty decent! I got chicken tenders and fries, and the portion was more than I could finish. I saw friends who got cheesesteaks and burgers. Everyone enjoyed their food. After such a big meal... fair warning- it's hard to get back on the slopes! Anyway, this is definitely the place to go for a quick lunch after skiing. You don't have many food options anyway, but luckily it's pretty good here!

The burger was absolutely delicious, I also tried their Elk beer and it paired well with it. The seating area is gorgeous to sit in during the summer, flowers are blooming alongside the tables and the sun hits beautifully along that part of the mountain. It was magical to come visit Washington for a weekend getaway and it was even more magical finding a gem like this to spend some time and eat good food.

We got the prime dip sandwich with chips and the nachos with chorizo -- which was the only meat option available. The prime dip was dry and not very flavorful. It came with a side of plain kettle chips -- no fries or better side options, which was disappointing. The nachos were okay. They were barely sprinkled with chorizo, and the cheese wasn't evenly melted or layered, so a lot of chips ended up dry. The highlight was the guac -- they don't skimp on it, which we appreciated. Prices were steep, but I guess that's expected at a resort. If you're starving, it'll do the job, but don't expect anything memorable.

We ordered the coconut curry with chicken, braised beef short rib, smoked salmon chowder, and Brussels sprouts, and everything tasted great. Our favorite was definitely the short rib, it's tender and flavorful. We also got hot tea, and appreciated the unlimited water refills, which was a nice touch in the cold. The views are absolutely amazing, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The only reason for 4 stars is that it's definitely on the pricier side for what you get, but considering the location at the top of the mountain and the experience overall, it's still worth it.

It's a $16 quesadilla, but well worth it. I'm wishing I was back there, because I'm craving one right now!

It's quite literally on the other side of the mountain from us - just over Chinook pass on the west side. We were looking for a spot to grab some lunch after an early season hike of Naches peak loop, and this place was the one we were looking for! For those "uneducated" about very small towns in central southern Washington, Naches is a one such town. Anytime we see a spot that's named after somewhere near us, we generally try to check it out, so imagine our surprise when we came across this magic little hole in the wall. It's very rustic/mountainy feeling inside and out. From the pool table room with dollar bills stapled to the wall, to the old school bar, and the yard out back with extra seating, this place oozes small town charisma! The menu isn't huge, but it was very good! Burgers, chicken, salads, fish 'n chips and some seriously dope cheese curds are all at your fingertips! The drink selection is solid, trends towards a biker bar (not surprisingly), and had some good non-alcoholic options. The woman who took our order, may have helped make everything, and was quick to get our drinks and food out to us. There was a bit of a crowd and she did nice job of taking care of everyone. As a random aside, you should check out the bathrooms and their decor. It's quite a unique spectacle! On a nice day, there are few places nicer than a spot like this. If you're driving over highway 410, this is place you should plan to check out!

My bud says let's go meet up for burgers and brew. I'm like, "Sure, don't gotta ask me twice." And off we went. My mind was blown by all the things in such close proximity of each other... I mean like a parking lot closeness. We got some serious grub burgers, with a brewery next door to enjoy said tasty meat patties. With a distillery in the back/front, and a wine or tea bar on the other side. You don't have to go far to stumble or crawl. Ok... moving forward... back to Burger Buds! I had no idea this was the original truck or location. I live out in the Maple Valley area, and we frequent that burger buds often. However, every time I go, I always want to try a new burger. And the Wenatchee was calling my name. Something about crisp Washington apples and cheese just sounded good with some candied bacon. C'mon son! Not to mention their fries! We ordered our food, found a place to sit down inside the brewery, ordered some cider, and once the food was ready, we just sat and hung out and enjoyed conversation. This is a perfect location! So hats off to the owners of Burger Buds and Headworks Brewery for their joint adventure! Thank you for the experience and as always, enjoy and found a new Happy Place!

Was a great variety to subdue to the alcohol. My favorite was their Cabarnet Sauvignon. The food was their downside. The sandwich bread was crispy but hard. The cheese wasnt even melted. Chips that came with it were soggy. Service was nice and served my food within five minutes. From what I remember they serve a red wine flight, white wine flight, glasses of wine, food, and coffee! I know im missing another type of wine flight but am sadly forgetting. Overall, i recommend for a good drink. Also their wines are purchasable. It also seems like people love their other food and not their sandwiches so will give another food item a try next time.
