Get your base bratwurst, pick your add ons and choose your condiment. Big bob bratwurst is a must get. Really delicious with good flavors and perfectly cooked. You have the option to do add ons on the bratwurst. We liked the caramelized onions but there's option to add on beechers cheese, cream cheese, or chili. The condiment section is insane. There's 20 sauces and over 10 kinds of mustards to try from. We loved the garlic aioli and smoky garlic/onion mustards! But so hard to pick a favorite out of them. Must add on the apple cider sauerkraut and relish. Great ipa selection as well. Good vibes and plenty of seating inside and outside the restaurant.

Primarily for bratwurst orders, the apple cider sauerkraut, pickled jalapeños, sweet relish, and 10+ different sauces were fun to try and delicious. Order at the walk-up counter, get a buzzer, pickup your food when the buzzer buzzes. Others in my group enjoyed the bratwurst and lemonade (they said wasn't too sweet).

Very friendly service and loved his recommendation for the owner's condiments for a curry sausage I have never seen before. It was all delicious, enjoyed tasting mustards with our hot pretzel and the amber beer was a perfect pairing. It's all outdoor seating but the ceiling heaters did a great job. Great service 100 stars

Came here on a typical chilly winter weekend day. Never been to the place but our typical place…read moredidn't offer seating that day so we thought we'd try some place new. Hence our visit to the Sausage Garden. The seating was great and spacious, even had headers under the covered areas which was super nice. Now to the food.... Sadly a bit disappointed in that area. We had a large group of folks so a good variety of sausages were ordered. The kids ordered the curry wurst and seemed to like it for the most part. For those that ordered the bratwurst we had a tough time eating cause the shell seemed to be incredible thick and hard to bite. Taste overall was okay, a bit on the salty side but not horrible. Just really hard to physically chew is where I struggled with. Also ordered the soup which was very broth and simple. Since there was potatoes I was thinking it would be a bit thicker but it hit the spot nonetheless. Overall impression, not a bad place with a nice place to take a rest. There are tastier places near by but I do enjoy the thought of supporting something more local. Just with the food wasn't so tough to consume.

After a couple of trips to check out our wedding venue in Index, we noticed the Sand Bar every…read moresingle time and told ourselves we'd absolutely be checking it out. During our last trip in the area, we decided to go on in for a drink. Dive bar fans, this spot is absolute GOLD. If you're in the area for a hike? Stop in for a post hike beer. In the area just passing through? Literally pull over for a drink or two and a respite from the car. Whatever you're doing in Index, there is no reason not to stop at the Sand Bar. The Sand Bar is nautical themed and so much fun. Themed to the NINES. As an event planner, their dedication does not go unnoticed. There's also so many fun fish tanks around! Kinda makes you feel like a kid again to just watch them swim around while you're relaxing. Would I suggest saving an appetite for this spot? Honestly, no. They have a DIY chili dog bar and rotating specials but all of the food is ready to go in crockpots. That said, if it was midnight and I had a few cold ones, I might just be inclined to make myself a DIY chili dog. I'm just being honest here. I did see in the parking lot that the local pizza spot will deliver here, so that might be a more sanitary option, but what's the fun (and gamble) in that? There's a fun outdoor area with eclectic seating and beautiful mountain views if you're there during the day. No liquor here, but they've got solid beer, wine, cider/seltzer options. The co-owner was working when we came in and he's a super nice guy. We complimented the bar and he insisted we give his wife all the credit as it was her idea and she was "nice enough to let him work there." We informed him we'd be back in the area for our June wedding and were planning on stopping in after we got married and he gave us a business card with their personal cell number to TEXT and let them know how many people from our wedding were gonna come in so they could prep karaoke and stay open a little later. I mean, how sweet is that!?!? Highly suggest supporting this small business whenever passing through Index - we can't wait to come back after our wedding. We're seriously rolling with our wedding party + then some.

Went here and ordered a cocktail, sat down and both mine and my wife's drinks had fruit flies in…read morethem. Went back to the bartender explained and asked for a new one (I was more then kind to her) she gave me lots of attitude and was irritated that I "bothered" her eventually she made us new drinks, took them back to the table and sure enough more fruit flies. I understood that they could've gotten into the whiskey or whatever but I went back and told her there were more bugs, she immediately got irritated and started loudly complaining that she didn't see anything so I pointed out all the flies in both drinks, then she rolled her eyes and walked away to change out the whiskey. Finally got new bugless drinks with lots of attitude on the side. We've been here before and she's always rude, don't know her name unfortunately but to explain her in hope her boss sees this she is the shorter rounder broad with lots of attitude. I'm sure that'll narrow it down. Disappointing to get all that attitude and rudeness when I was perfectly nice even tho the drink was disgusting

The burgers were good and can't go wrong with the drinks. It was the service or lack of it specifically that I am speaking on.

This place was recommended and I have no idea why unless you lived next door why you would come back!

An outside patio provides a covered space for smoking, cool in summer and heated in winter. The fenced area is private, well appointed with tables, chairs, and a television.

Even the appetizers are top cabin--you've got to try the chicken wings! ......maybe my son will visit more ?!?!...

**Curley's II: A Bar Worthy of Glory... Trapped in a Town with a Name That Haunts My Soul**…read more Let's begin with what is **perfect**--Curley's II. This bar is a **masterpiece**, a beacon of warmth and revelry in the heart of central Washington. The drinks? **Flawless.** Cold, crisp, perfectly poured. The service? **Unparalleled.** The bartenders are like mind-readers, anticipating your every need before you even realize you have one. The atmosphere? **A triumph of human achievement.** It's the kind of place where time slows down, where every sip is a celebration, where laughter ricochets off the walls like echoes of joy itself. But then--there is Kittitas. **Kittitas.** A town whose name is **deeply unsettling**, and frankly, should be reconsidered at once. Who decided it should be spelled that way? Where did the second "t" come from? Who thought it was wise to create a name that somehow **always** looks like a typo? No matter how many times I type "Kittitas," my brain screams, *Did I mean to write that?* And the pronunciation? **Unforgivable.** You see it written and think, "Surely this is pronounced KIT-ih-tas." But no. **No.** It insists on being "KIT-uh-tass," a revelation that shakes the very foundation of trust between written and spoken language. Why does it defy phonetic logic? Why does it feel like it was designed specifically to confuse the unwary traveler? Let's talk aesthetics. The name *sounds* like it belongs to a species of wild cat that doesn't exist. *Behold--the noble Kittitas, prowling the forests of the Pacific Northwest.* But it is not a cat. It is not even cat-adjacent. Instead, it is a name that lingers in your mind long after you've left, **demanding answers that history refuses to provide**. Yet, despite being imprisoned within the tyranny of its name, Curley's II stands tall. It **refuses** to let Kittitas drag it down into the abyss of linguistic disarray. Instead, it **thrives**, proving that even in the face of adversity--such as a town name that feels like a practical joke--it is possible to achieve greatness. **Five stars to Curley's II.** And one profoundly distressed sigh for Kittitas. Would it be better named **Literally Anything Else**? Absolutely. But until then, **Curley's II** remains a **shining beacon of hope in the midst of alphabetical chaos.**

Will wait till they settle in before we go back.
