Stopped in for lunch on the way to Suncadia. Cool dive bar. Service was good. Got the appetizer platter that was good. Everyone in our group seemed to like their meals. Would go back. Wings were my favorite. read more

Well, over all the experience was ok. As yous know I am a chef so I'm very picky, and I review from my expertise. I can say without hesitation the draw I would have to coming back here is Liz! Her joyful attitude was contagious, and she definitely made everyone feel welcome. She was also an excellent server! As for the food, The Bistro Steak is what would cause me to return. I was disappointed that they only have baked potatoes on the weekend, as that would have given my meal four stars instead of three. Hubby's burger was "pretty good", but the sweet potato fries were not the favourite. That being said, He was glad steak sauce was brought to the table cause it made the burger better. The salad was great, (no walk in fridge taste), and their house made dressings were excellent! As for the ambiance, it isn't really my thing, but I realise it is more of a bar than a restaurant. The music is fairly loud so it was necessary to talk louder than we would usually expect to. However, over all it was a nice date night out and the prices were excellent especially for the quality of food! We will be back! read more

Great food and atmosphere!! Love the small town vibe and the great people!!!! Great place breakfast, lunch and dinner!! Best wings in town!

Came here for dinner on a Friday night while we were in town for the weekend visiting parents. It hit every expectation we had for a dive bar style experience. Got the Mother Load burger and Black & Bleu steak salad, and we were not disappointed. The waitress was delightful and made us feel right at home with great service. It was a good level of quiet so we could talk but busy atmosphere with energy, and started to get busier as we left around 7/8pm. read more

What a great place for breakfast. Had the the egg breakfast sandwich and it was great! Staff is warm and friendly. Love this place to go with husband for breakfast. Watching sorts on the televisions is a great draw. Thank you Old #3! read more

Old number three is your standard small town bar with solid food and ambiance to match. Ample amount of random decor to check out, XL (remind me of computer chairs) at some tables for seating, kinda interesting but pro tip they're comfy af lol, decent bar food if you're really hungry and friendly staff. Extra tip, they have spots outside to tie your horses up if you're fixin to take a different type of 'ride' to the bar ha. read more

Good service, good burgers and even with games on you can still talk. No porter but that's not uncommon. The best thing is our HVAC guy was there and we got a problem sorted. read more

So... my chili was good. I got the chili bowl to go, and it tasted like a good canned chili. No better, no worse. HOWEVER, the menu both in the restaurant and online say the bowl is $5, so I have no clue why the charge was $7.53 before tip. While both prices are reasonable, the add-on is annoying and I'm not in the mood to call back and discuss. So, consider this your warning. Bottom line: That all said, this seems the place to be for this rural area. So, grab a beer, some chili for $7, not $5, and have at it. read more

Went here to get food to-go the when I called in the order the lady was rushing me thru my order and didn't want to answer any of my questions witch was only two and said talk to u when u get here, I get there to pick up the food and the customer service was poor the lady was all over the place and broke a glass plate mind you they were not even that busy at all maybe had 5-6 customers in there then made a man sitting at the bar with his friends get up and take my order so I can pay, the atmosphere was not that great plus their website and reviews say "best burgers in town" and I'd have to disagree 100% that's just my own personal opinion. If I could rate this place 1-10 I'd give it a solid 3 . Next time I'm in town I guess I'll just make my own food instead of eating out here lol This place needs to really work on customer service and treating their guests like a priority and kindly instead of rude and in a rush.. I will not be coming here again. read more

The Old #3 Restaurant - Cheeseburger - American Near Me - Ronald, Washington

Came to Suncadia for a getaway, decided to venture out for lunch. Hubby been talking about going to the Old #3, so we did. I ordered cheeseburger basket. It was decent. Juicy in a nice soft but with iceberg lettuce tomato & onion. Hubby ordered burger dip. He said it was good nothing special. I think I would've added grilled onions. We had onion rings & fries, both good. Place was clean and staff was pleasant. We'd like to come on Friday sometime for the Prime rib dinner. Oh it was Veterans Day when we went and sign on wall said "Vets eat free", so that was nice to see them honoring Vets read more

Drive on past The Brick in Roslyn to The Old #3 Bar and Grill in Ronald. The Cheeseburger Basket comes with choice of tots (pictured), home cut fries, coleslaw or soup. The veggie beef soup was dark gravy, chunks of russet potatoes, and beef- more like a stew than a soup. Draft beers $4.50-6.00. Service was fast and friendly. Unfortunately the cleaning solution hit us in the face as we entered. We heard the burgers were good and they were. $9. Two burger baskets, 1 Bud Light, and 1 rootbeer=$28 before tip. read more

I so wish I didn't need to wright this, yet I was prompted, and so on. Service was initially pretty quick, then I'd watched our food sit there for ten minutes before we were served. Seemed a poor execution of staff delegation. I was recommended the chicken fried steak, it was nasty and overcooked, meal was removed from bill. Thanks. read more

Went for drinks. Nice ambiance, it's basically what you'd expect with stiff drinks andddcent prices and lots of people in flannel.

French dip with sweet potato fries The food was really good. Good customer service. Disappointed there's no more bras on the ceiling but everything else made up for it! read more

Can't speak for how the business is inside. My husband went and got food to go. Food was great. Portions are huge and decent priced. Definitely if in the area again will be back!! read more

Went Sunday afternoon at 230. Probably more employees than customers. One employee setting ketchup out. One employee cleared a table. One employee on cell phone. Sat 15 minutes with no service. Got up and left. Horrible guest service. Went to the brick. read more

Absolutely love it here, I come in every time I'm in town. Olivia was our bartender today, she is awesome, had us cracking up as soon as we sat down. read more

French dip was sooo good. Smaller bar atmosphere. We had about 7 people and the food was fast and hot.

Nice sports bar, kid friendly. Bacon cheese burger was fantastic. Bun was warm, lettuce crispy, ingredients fresh. Food came out quick and the service was good. read more

We love this place. It is our go to whenever we are camping in the area. Service and the people are awesome, nice clean cozy atmosphere, and the food and drinks are solid. We would highly recommend The Old #3. read more

Stopped in for breakfast last weekend as we we visiting friends. Place was very clean, service was great. Waitress was funny. I had 2 eggs bacon hash browns and toast. Very basic...I ordered a side of gravy for my hash browns. It was good roast was very lightly toasted, more like warmed bread. The bacon was crisp and coffee hot. Nothing great but good would defiantly go back. Bathrooms were also clean so that's a bonus! read more

This is my 2nd time here, and it did not disappoint! Ordered the bacon burger with coleslaw. The slaw was perfect and just the way I like it. Crisp and not very sweet. The burger taste like it was flame broiled, and it was very juicy. Great vibe and atmosphere and the staff was very laid back and friendly. My friend ordered a burger with tater tots... wow! The tots were extra crunchy with flawless crispness. Definitely coming back again! Thank you and Happy Eating! read more

I am not from area but any time stop restaurant clean and people are who works theare friendly. When i walked to bathroom the room in good condition smells good and no visible issues. Price: hard to tell because i stoped in few only i think it is very resonable to have dinner for 2 with appraiser and few drinks for 65 bucks it is super cheap for mill creak or seattle or Bellevue i can not judge what is income here. Anyway any time i am in the area and want american food i am stopping at old #3. Thank you guys read more

We haven't had a meal we didn't like. Breakfast on the weekends starts at 8 am. Eggs came out just like we ordered them. Pancakes are HUGE. We've had dinner here as well. Closed on Tues. Chicken fried steak on Wednesday night is awesome. It sells out early so make sure you are there early. read more

Great food great drinks we had prime rib dinner. Service was very good also prices are fairly inexpensive read more

This restaurant has become my new home. I love the staff and the owners. They care about their customers and always want to make sure you are having the best experience. The cooks and servers are always happy to accommodate to your needs. All people are welcomed with the same kindness. I can't tell you enough how much I absolutely love this place! When you come across a negative review, please be aware of the Karens. Try it out for yourself and appreciate this small town spot. You will not be disappointed! read more

We needed to eat dinner since we had been driving from Seattle. So so food. I had fish & chips hubby & son had burgers. I believe I got the better meal! read more

This is a fantastic place to stop for a drink in Ronald, we tried the nachos and they were pretty good too. Since this is my first time here I don't have much more to say than that but it's like one of the best places in Ronald from the looks of it. Next time I'm in the area I will try some thing different on the menu. Two thumbs up read more

Once upon a time, before Cle Elum, Ronald and Roslyn got all high on their "Northern Exposure" horses and kicked all the off road motorcycle people out of the area in the early/mid-nineties and built a stupid golf course over where we used to ride -- the Old Number 3 was THE place to be. We would ride our bikes 20-30 miles along trails and drop in on Ronald. We would come in covered head to foot in mud/dust/snow. Walk in with our motorcycle boots on and set our helmets on the tables. Great big burgers and cold beer (for my dad, I was like 14 back then). After our meal we would ride over to the #3 coal pile and ride around before heading back to camp over by #9 or Bullfrog flats. It used to be a crazy mix of Harley Guys and Off-Road riders...which was pretty funny back then because the Harley Guys were all gruff and surley and the rest of us were sporting our super awesome bright florescent racing jerseys and pants...which was the style at the time. There were always a dozen or so Harleys and dirt bikes parked outside the bar. Inside there used to be hundreds of hats stapled or nailed all over the ceiling and walls. Going to the Old Number 3 is one of my fondest memories growing-up. AND the first bar I frequented as a young teenager. Apparently, after reading the other posts, the original burned down. I guess I'm not surprised, but it's still too bad because it was pretty cool. I haven't been there for over 15 years...so, it may very well suck now. But I give it four stars for the place it holds in my heart. (Awww...) But Cle Elum, Roslyn and Ronald can still suck it for kicking all the riders out of the area. Yeah, it's been almost 20 years, but I am still pissed off. Northern Exposure couldn't last forever, jerks! read more

In the middle of nowhere? -check Did I see this place in that bad show Northern Exposure? -yes Full of rednecks? - check Does the place have character and render a uniqueness that defies categorization? -yes Is the cuisine suitable with a moderate selection, in that heart wrenching grease spoon sense? - definitely If I happen to be going from here to there, find myself in the middle of nowhere, and spot the town of Roslyn/Ronald - should I roll in here for a brew, some grub, and some attitude? - absolutely read more

Update! I wish I could give them 0 stars now.. They pulled all the dollar bills off the walls, I'm still scratching my head on that one. As I mentioned in my first review I had bills on the walls since 1995. The prices have doubled and service is now terrible! The "last" time I was in there and I do mean it will be the LAST time I was told all the changes were from new management. When we stopped in it was on our traditional "role into town hot" getting ready for the weekend. I should of known something was up when there was only three cars in the parking lot on a Friday night. Long story short, this place now SUCKS and don't bother going further to the last resort, it's even worse! Maybe the Brick is still the place to be if you want to risk getting busted in the "lions den." Be careful driving in Roslyn and Ronald, the cops are everywhere! read more

Went here for breakfast/lunch with my family. We were on vacation and were on our way home but decided to grab a bite before hitting the road. Outside is a big sign that says they serve breakfast. My younger siblings pointed to it as soon as we drove by it. As you walk to the front door, there's a note that says no persons under 21 are permitted after 9 pm. Noted, it was about 10:30-11 am I believe. But to sum it up, it's definitely not a very family-friendly and tourist-friendly spot. Yes, there is a dining room but it isn't the place to go have meals with your family. Immediately as we walked in, there was a dull stench of alcohol of some sort and we were given glares by the old men at the bar. One guy at the bar, probably a regular, made us feel like we were really unwelcomed and were intruding. The waitress looked surprise to see us as if she hadn't seen customers in a group before. She was nice and polite though, she sat us down and gave us our menus. Again, the guy at the bar wouldn't leave us alone, he kept looking at us at our table. He then utters something to the same waitress we had who was now making his drink. I hear her respond, "Give them their space!" It was really uncomfortable. *Food: Not bad. American. Burgers. Endless fries. Soup. Coleslaw. Chicken strips, etc. *Environment: Not family friendly. Dim lighting. Drunk old men. Rednecks. Dollar bills on the walls, ceilings, lights, every surface (which I thought was pretty cool). *Service: Good. Nice lady. ------- I think management needs to decide whether they want to market to and welcome a broader audience like families for their food/breakfast or just stick to the adult/bar/biker/redneck atmosphere. read more

This place is exactly what you'd expect it to be. It's a bar in (pretty much) the middle of nowhere. I went with a large group of dudes for a bachelor party and actually spent more time talking/tipping beers with the locals than with my buddies. The owner came by our table at least 3 times to crack jokes and make sure we were taken care of. Our server was also very good; she split the check for 18 guys and didn't complain a bit. This is a great place to go get rowdy. read more

New owners! Great new owners! The food is awesome. Had a mother lode burger. Juicy. I mean juicy dripping down the arms juice! ! Hoping for fresh cut fries soon, and I can dig that. Anthony was cooking and he know and cares about each plate going out! The wife had some of the best prime rib she has had in quite sometime. Big ol slap of juice filled,no grizzle meat. Fork tender Big baker was awesome!. Cole slaw was fresh and cruchy! Thank the lord that the last one owner sold. He almost ruined a great icon. Owner should never get Fubar in there own bar! We shall be returning to eat and drink! KUDOS TO YOU NEW OWNERS!! read more

If I could express how fun country dive bars are... They have all sorts of hats and dollar bills on the wall (similar to the style at Beths cafe with all of the drawings around). The kicker, the bakroom is the bra room... Many a dozen bras lay nailed to the ceiling. One ol man recollects one woman's contribution: She took her shirt off, took her bra off, hung it up and never put her shirt back on... For the rest of the night. Nuff Said... read more

If it's on the menu, get the meatloaf sandwich. Figured I'd get the important information out there in case you didn't read the whole review. FOOD This place is as good as it gets. The first time I came here, I had the Deluxe burger and was pleasantly surprised. One of, if not the best burger in the Cle Elum/Roslyn/Ronald area. These guys know their burgers, nothing fancy, just a well cooked, well assembled and well presented burger. The second time here, I forced myself to try something different as it was way too easy to get hooked on the burgers, so I had the fish and chips. Again, simple but done to perfection. Once again one of the best, if not the best fish and chips around. Third time, I asked Shannon for a suggestion and she suggested the Meatloaf Sandwich. Wow. I'm still trying to figure out how Shannon grilled the sourdough bread to make it so light and crispy without leaving it greasy. The flavor was incredible, but it was the preparation that elevates this from a mere sandwich to a fine dining experience. SERVICE Ever been to a restaurant that made you feel so at home, that you instinctively wanted to take your dishes to the kitchen? This place is that comfortable. On each visit, the staff welcomed me not as a customer, but as a guest and ensured I was comfortable and well taken care of. Attentive, without being intrusive, the interaction with the staff went beyond the mere question and answering normally found at restaurants and elevated to an actual conversation. On my third visit, I purposely chose an out of the way seat in the bar area and kept a low profile. Shannon saw me sitting in the corner and came from the kitchen to see if I had been helped. She was genuinely concerned that I had been sitting there without service. Even the bartender/proprietor Scott came from behind the bar to ensure that I was taken care of. I felt somewhat guilty, having hidden in the corner after seeing the consternation this caused the staff. The graciousness of the staff continued after the meal. Shannon, who was on a break, made it a point to call out to me as I left to thank me for coming in, and to wish me a good day. ATMOSHPHERE Warm, friendly and inclusive. There were four or five regulars at the bar jovially giving Scott grief and Scott was giving it right back. We all had a good laugh at Scott's (a.k.a. Larry) expense but it was all good natured and fun. It is a rare establishment where even the regulars want you to share in their revelry. PRICE Inexpensive. I purposely did not use the word "cheap" as there is nothing cheap about the food, the service and the overall quality. The food and drink prices are way below the area's average, their burgers priced 50% less than an inferior burger at nearby establishments, same thing for the fish and chips and the sandwich. It is a rare to have such great food, a cold beer and friendly service for under 20 bucks. CONCLUSION The Old #3 is a fine establishment that would be successful in any big city with its great food, extremely reasonable prices and fantastic staff. The fact that it's located in a small town off the beaten path makes it even more special. read more

The burger is down home good. Very good service as well. I may add a second patty next time I'm hungry. There are plenty of seats and restroom was uber clean. This is a marker for feeling the kitchen is managed well! I'm going for the prime rib dinner next time. read more

Great food, strong drinks and great service! The burgers are the best! Friendly service!

It's been two years since my last visit to the Old No 3 and the food was just as awesome as always! As a local, I am so pleased that they re-built the No 3 after it burned to the ground in 2002, but I have to note that they never got the old ramshackle atmosphere back. You just can't get the right "redneck" feel in a bright, well-light modern building! Still, the food was amazing (as always!) and the place was fairly steady for a Thursday night. (Loads of locals; it's great seeing that the same old folks are still there!) I had a bacon cheese burger; Dad had the Mother Load burger; Mum had the Captain's Plate. I couldn't manage all of my fries but Mum and Dad managed to nearly clean their plates. I was disappointed in the beer selection, but this is because I've been living in Scotland where I am spoilt for choice. For a small-town, local bar and grille, the beer selection was probably great! (I'm just a beer snob.) I had a bottle of IPA that I won't recommend ... Service was great and the place was quiet enough to chat. In fact, an old high school friend of Mum's stopped at our table to do just that! It's the place in town that my folks go when they want a burger. And if the folks go there (they don't go *anywhere*!) you know it's worth it! read more

Not exactly reinventing the wheel here. With that being said the staff is super friendly and the bar food is pretty good. I've eaten here many times and always enjoy myself. You know exactly what you're getting here. No surprises. Today I had a bowl of chili with cheese and onion with a corn bread muffin for $4.25. I would definitely order again. The staff are laid back and the patrons are respectful and just as friendly. read more
