    I hold this place high on a pedestal. The OG is stupid good!…read more The Truffle Shuffle fries are Fire! My Mother-in-law who is a vegetarian, enjoyed the Falafel burger. Very friendly staff! Outdoor seating.

    Mission Burgers is Wenatchee's hometown favorite for smashburgers-- typically…read moredouble-meat-double-cheese burgers, with meat patties literally smashed thin and fried on high heat to create a thick, intensely browned bark. It's Burger King on steroids! You won't find tomatoes on the menu board, but almost every other combination of garnish (and companion meats) are options. I went with their stated classic, the "OG Mission" ('original gangster') burger. It is delicious, albeit noticeably greasy, due to the extra-high fat content of the ground beef. But that's where the rich flavor comes from. What Mission Burgers is doing right is highly seasoning the meat with salt and pepper, then punching up the flavor with pickles, red onion, and their special sauce. Add to that the richness of the cheese and the crusty, grilled bun--this is the winning combination at the base of all their other burger options. The other thing I really appreciate is, their straightforward pricing without trying to upsell their ingredients. The add-ons are inexpensive--slice of cheddar is $.50 compared to EZ's $1.47 for the same. Two suggestions: - drain the grease off the patties before assembly, - don't fold the wrapper in half... wrap the burger in a full sheet, stronger paper if necessary, keep it from leaking all over clothing. (I'll be back to check! :-) Otherwise, this is a 5-Star burger! (see the menu board pic attached for all the other options, including chicken)

    This was my first trip here after wanting to go here for some time. Parking was very limited on a…read moreFriday @ noon, not too many parking spots available. Was able to order quickly at the counter and food arrived within 10 minutes. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, but it was already too warm to sit outside and eat hot food, unless you like that kind of thing! I ordered the 3-meat combo plate with pulled pork, brisket burnt ends and baby back ribs. Sides I picked were coleslaw and elote. Meal also came with a corn muffin. The highlights: Brisket burnt ends were tender with good bark and had nice flavor. The pulled pork was also very tasty and tender. Sauce was nicely balanced (they even sell it if you want some to go). Corn muffin was light, fluffy and delicious, not too sweet and the honey butter had some cinnamon in it which turned out to be a winner in my book. The "room for improvement" came with the ribs, elote and the coleslaw. The ribs were a bit disappointing. They were a tad dry and overwhelmingly smoky in flavor. I was looking for the succulent, fall-off-the-bone kind of rib with a delicious rub perhaps. As for the coleslaw, it was honestly very bland. No tang, no sweet, no distinct flavor. Needed a little salt too. The elote was a nice idea but the corn lost all its moisture (sat in dry heat too long?) and was kind of shriveled upon arrival. The toppings were good, but I was hoping for juicy, spits-in-your-eye kind of corn. All in all, I would definitely go back. It's hard to judge a place like this off one visit and the food I did like, I would return for.

    Holy moly, the food was scrumptious! We ordered the brisket, burger, and salad with slow roasted…read morechicken on top. My husband also ordered a beer. We will definitely be back. Loved the bright space, and appreciated the very friendly staff. We highly recommend this place!

    We're going with 4.5 stars today but there's no way we can't round it up to the five (since we…read morecan't do 1/2's) because of Amber and Hannah and their excellent customer service. Today was our second visit but the first to include food. We are in town for the week and stopped by for coffee three days ago and bantered a bit with the woman working the counter whose name we found out today is Amber. She's so awesome! I hope that business knows just how amazing she is and treats her accordingly. That first day we only ordered coffee and really liked it and the banter lifted us up a bit so that was cool. Today we went in for breakfast and coffee. She remembered us and everything unique about that first encounter. It was a good feeling after a crazy few days so that was wonderful. We also met Hannah who made the excellent coffees we had. We ordered a croque monsieur with an egg on top, a beirock (not sure I'm spelling that right), quiche and a morning bun. Everything was delicious! The beirock had eggs, cheese and bacon in it in a fully closed bun. That bun had such a good flavor that I would only order that next time. The quiche was creamy and smooth but the crust wasn't good. Our daughter who lives here and loves this place, especially their quiche (she says it's better than mine, lol) says the crust usually isn't as bad as it was today. For me, it tasted like it was microwaved (and maybe it was) and that taste and texture is not good. The filling was so tasty though. The morning bun was delicious. I don't normally love sweets for breakfast but it was yummy. The croque was fan-frickin-tastic and while Randy says he's had one that's better, it's not much better and he absolutely loved it. We all had tastes of it and loved it. We will absolutely be back next time we're in town and recommend you try this place out too. If you do, please tell Amber Bobo, Coco and Momo say HI!

Food was fine but my disappointment was that what I got was nothing like the photo that was posted online. I was expecting full pieces of smoked salmon on top of my bagel and some capers. But all I got was a premixed cream cheese with small chunks of salmon and no capers... and for $13.50? That's very pricy for what you're actually getting - a bagel and schmear. Maybe removing old pictures or updating the description would be helpful.

All the food was fresh, hot and delicious. The tomato bisque was exceptional! Terry, the cook, came out and said hello, asking me how I liked the meal. I let him know that I'm a trained chef, and his meal was fabulous! The waitress said he's worked there for 15 years, that his specialty is prime rib, served every Saturday. I will definitely be back for that. This bar has been here 85 years, and I moved here 30 years ago but had never been here till this evening. I'm guessing the food here is better than most of the restaurants in Wenatchee. The decor is plain and simple. The ambience is what you would expect in a local bar with a long history and a loyal local clientele. Nonetheless, the service was excellent and the staff was friendly. Even being charged a 4% credit card processing fee, food pricing is better than other restaurants. So are the quality and portion sizes. New tables and chairs with cushioned seating fill two dining rooms. And there is plenty of offstreet parking. All things considered, it's worth the 20 minute drive from Wenatchee down to Rock Island, just to enjoy the food and the drinks. I don't think anyone gets turned away here. What's not to like? This was a five star experience for me.

    What's Not to Love About Glaze?…read more As a member of the leadership team overseeing multiple data center campuses in this region, I've come to really appreciate the value of consistency, attention to detail, and genuine service--whether it's from our internal operations or the vendors and partners we choose to support our teams. Glaze Doughnuts has become one of those standout partners. Time and time again, Glaze has proven that no order is too small--or too large. There have been mornings where we've called in a modest request for just a few dozen of the town's best doughnuts to brighten our technicians' day, and other moments where we've needed large catering orders to support full site events, customer visits, or company-wide meetings. In every instance, the team at Glaze responds with the same level of enthusiasm, professionalism, and care. The doughnuts themselves are next level. We're not talking about ordinary pastries here--every single one is crafted with quality ingredients, creative flavor combinations, and the kind of freshness that tells you these aren't sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to bite. From the classics to the seasonal specials, Glaze delivers excellence in every box. But what really keeps us coming back isn't just the product--it's the people. The staff at Glaze truly make you feel like your order matters, no matter the size. They've remembered names, made thoughtful recommendations, and gone above and beyond to accommodate timelines, delivery requests, and last-minute changes. Their service-first mindset makes a huge difference, especially in an industry like ours where reliability matters more than anything. And as a veteran-owned business, Glaze brings a level of integrity and purpose to their work that deserves to be celebrated. They treat every customer like they're part of something bigger--and in many ways, they are. Glaze is more than a doughnut shop. It's a local institution built on hard work, pride, and hospitality. Ten out of ten--every time. For us, Glaze has become a trusted part of how we care for our people. And in this fast-paced world, where so much feels rushed or impersonal, having a local partner that consistently delivers joy, quality, and genuine service is a gift. Thank you to the Glaze team for doing what you do. We see you. We appreciate you. And we'll keep coming back.- thanks Sepi

    Now THAT's a BLT !!! (see pic)…read more I have to laugh, my wife ordered the same thing as last time--I didn't remember I rated it a year ago, already! Nice to know their quality is consistent. Again, we split the sandwich and it was still plenty to eat. But LOOK at the size of that sandwich. WOW! ...way generous portion of bacon! ...and the pickle spear is fresh and top quality (maybe "Claussen's", not sure). ...and who can deny that Tim's Potato Chips are the best? I'm going to have to be a regular at Glaze--I'm really impressed! ..definitely a 5-Star experience!

What exceeded my expectations was that it's located in this really unique Victorian style house, with a tower and upstairs seating area and, with the most warm and welcoming owners! You can tell how much love they put into everything they serve, because it's all super delicious! While most of the guests, this morning were from out of town, there was this whole family that goes there, every time they visit Wenatchee, WA, from Chelan! Now that's obviously some delicious eats and great selection too! They have both Sweet AND Savory Crepes, along with Breakfast Sandwiches, on Asiago Bread, regular Bacon and Eggs Breakfast + a large selection of drinks! I decided to get their #ProteinPower Crepe and try out their seasonal #CoffeeFlight and it was all super yummy! My crepe was made with protein powder, a variety of fruits, crushed pecans, peanut butter and whipped cream! It was perfectly filling too! The flight selection is still in the works, but I had Almond Joy, Cinnamon Dulce, Ube and my favorite PEPPERMINT (because everything after Halloween is allowed to have a dash of Xmas flava flaves already.....okuuurrr!!!) lol I will definitely keep going here, anytime I visit Central WA and hope you do too!
