If you're traveling through Ritzville, Jake's Cafe is an absolute must-stop. The diner feels like…read morestepping straight into another era -- cozy, welcoming, and full of charm the moment you walk in. We were quickly greeted and told to sit wherever we liked, so we grabbed a booth by the window. As soon as we settled in, our waitress came over for drink orders, already cracking jokes with a wicked sense of humor that kept us laughing the entire meal. She suggested mozzarella sticks as an appetizer -- and I'm so glad she did. They were cooked to absolute perfection (chef's kiss). We ordered the ribeye steak with potatoes, veggies, garlic bread, and cheddar broccoli soup. The soup was incredible -- rich, flavorful, and packed with real broccoli, so you knew it was fresh. Then the steaks came out... and honestly, they were better than steaks we've had at high-end steakhouses. Perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Throughout the whole experience, our waitress kept our sodas full and somehow always appeared right when we needed something -- we never once had to ask. That level of attentiveness is rare. We decided to grab pie to go since we were heading to a hotel for the night. Before we could even mention it, she brought us plastic forks and a bag with our dessert. That kind of thoughtfulness completely sums up the service here. This will absolutely be a regular stop for us anytime we travel through Ritzville. I was beyond impressed -- amazing food, amazing service, and an experience that felt genuine from start to finish.

Some tables were a little dirty, others cleaner.It also smelled pretty strongly of oil, but unhealthy and like gasoline. As my second time visiting the chain, I think the milkshakes are good! The fruit shakes ($6 minimum) are made with real fruit (not fresh, probably frozen) whereas the cheaper flavor alternative ($4 minimum) uses syrup. I personally felt the butterscotch was too strong and sweet for me, but the strawberry fruit shake was great. I prefer to get dessert than food here, the large-size onion rings weren't worth the price especially since the bag could've been fuller. If I come back, I'd also prefer to go through drive through to avoid the strong oil smell.

This week we were able to eat here on the way out and back to Seattle. We had the deluxe burger and fries with fry sauce. The burgers and fries are great. Perfect portion and made just right.

We will definitely make it a point to stop when we pass through. We are so glad our friends told us about it or we would have missed it since the exit is not big and has a gas station so unless you need gas you might miss out on this gem

The rustic and vintage interior is inviting and enjoyable. The dining rooms were empty when we arrived, but there were plenty of tables telling me this is probably a popular choice among locals. Their paninis look appetizing, but alas it was early. So we chose some bagel sandwiches. Note: they stop serving breakfast at 11am. They had a bar that offered a wine selection in the corner. They also have a drive thru which is a convenience offering at a local restaurant.

This round I had an angus burger that was outstanding. Quite possibly the best burger I've ever had. These are not preformed patties. They are generously hand formed and you can instantly tell.

Fabulous array of breakfast, lunch, and beverage options. I tried the "Mediterranean" sandwich. Loved it. The sandwich is a turkey, artichoke heart, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and tomato mayo on focaccia bun. Everything on the sandwich was a compliment to the other. Usually you don't get a lot of comments about buns, but this one was outstanding. The sandwich also comes with red onions, but I took a pass on those also. I guess this place is also known for its pastries. They had a bunch to choose from, but seeing as how it was lunch, we took a hall pass... next time! It seems they also offer a lot of specialty homemade juice and coffee drinks. It was late mid morning, but there was a decent size crowd. The guy taking your order was super friendly and helpful, There looked to be only one girl in back, making the sandwiches Our order came out in about five minutes. There's options to sit inside and out. It was a gorgeous day so we chose out. They give you these awesome chips which I guess are some local thing.

The food is pricey for the portions and quality. I've always been more hungry than satisfied, after eating here. The service is usually friendly, but more strict than a Starbucks. I don't get why there's a no outdoor food/drink policy. Starbucks doesn't care so why do they? I brought in an outdoor drink and was told immediately that wasn't allowed. I felt bad enough to buy a muffin, even though I didn't want one. I'd rather support Starbucks than this business. I want to relax and connect with people, when I go out to restaurants or businesses. I wouldn't come back for the vibes or the food. I'll be meeting friends at Starbucks next time.
