Okay, so I need to preface this by saying my one of my favorite foods = french fries and this place…read morehas unbelievably excellent fries! Mr. Wonderful ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger and I had the BLT, with a side salad. Once I tasted Nick's fries, I had to order my own. Yes, they're that good! Service is excellent, thank you, Angelique. One chef - one waitress, running the *entire show and they managed to take care of every single one of us in the restaurant without a hitch! Spacious, clean, well thought out environment. They do have a stage at the front of the restaurant so I'm guessing they have live music? We recommend the Honky Tonk bar and Grill.

What a nice place. Very busy and a great place for burgers. The fries have a plank cut and were…read morejust the right crispy on the edges with tender potato in the middle. My mushroom Swiss burger was cooked through and still very juicy. I really wanted to eat EVERYTHING but had to sacrifice the bun to eat all the burger and condiments and over half the fries left with us. I didn't think fast enough to get a photo but there are several in the gallery and yes it is as yummy as the photos look. Worth the price!

This place has been here forever although I didn't find out about it until 20-odd years ago. It's…read morea block off the main drag and a block south of the road to the Observatory. Easy enough to find when someone clues you on on it's existence. Definitely a dive bar although not a Biker dive bar. Mostly old geezers like myself and popular with the townies. I always get the vibe that I am the only outsider in the place when I'm there although the people seem friendly enough. The big draw is the cheap booze and the gambling options. I'm happy with anything cold on tap and I don't gamble (or play pool) so I mostly just hang out and enjoy a decent sandwich and a cold one. The bar (which is where I usually sit) is typically fully occupied by locals who look to be ranchers and other blue collar types although mostly long retired guys. I come though Goldendale a few times every year but I have other fave stopping places for grub so I don't stop in here that often. Nice place and nice people, as I said but I don't have much in common with them except for a preference for non-flashy, reasonably priced dive bar food and beer.

Annoying. Drove off the main highway with my family to get some lunch. It's a cafe, but then when…read morewe got there, we are met with a big sign that read "no kids". If it's a bar, it shouldn't say cafe. Rude.

Your impressions may vary. Cheap draught beer, good burgers... you can sit out on the back patio during the summer.

I found this place in the small town of Rufus, OR because the menu looked great and wanted something local. We arrived and it looked pretty busy, which is a good sign. We walked in and I saw a SALAD BAR... now this sold me !!! Not only the menus items looked great, but they had specials as well. I chose the special - spareribs, baked potato and SALAD BAR. All was very good. This is definitely on of those old school, local dining joints with good food. Our waitress was attentive, but down to business.. no chit-chat. Not so sure if we weren't local enough or just a bad day.

For BREAKFAST! I didn't see that they had breakfast and it was so good for dinner that we came back…read morefor breakfast. Great place. For dinner ...Amazing steak! Don't skip the seasoning when they ask you if you want the "seasoning". The service was spot on by a super friendly gal who was on top of it, quick to please. The atmosphere is a down home country place where everyone knows each other. Go for the salad not the soup. The baked potato was perfect. Would definitely return with more family in tow.

Don't let their unassuming location fool you! This brewery…read moreserved up THE BEST "chopped" salad of my life! It's called the Wasco Chopped Salad & the fresh lettuce is rather difficult to find under the plethora of amazing & delicious toppings: bacon, egg slices, diced tomato, and the most tender & perfectly-seasoned chicken breast! Every single bite was more yummy stuff than filler lettuce! And the blue cheese dressing was THE BEST- super thick & creamy & didn't overpower the salad. The only complaint we have is we needed more dressing;) This salad was SO good I had for leftovers the next day & it was just as amazing as the night before! We also ordered the Fried Pickles with our choices of ranch & garlic aoli dipping sauces. The pickles were huge spears coated in a crunchy batter! The only complaint about these guys were we couldn't wait for them to cool & almost burnt our mouths;) We also ordered the Pretzel Bites with our choices of mustard & beer cheese sauce. The server gave us a sample of the Dill Pickle Gose beer & wow! We were nervous about drinking dill pickle beer, but this had a refreshing pickle taste! So much so that we took a 4-pack home!

Small, intimate restaurant = a few four tops and two tops…read more Good Lord we ARE impressed! Dining here was a delightful experience = entering a small, obscure restaurant with wonderful staff (thank you Jessica), and *absolutely out of this world delicious food is such a perk! For starters, we had the bruschetta, which was fresh and delicious. From there we moved on to the house salad, with blue cheese dressing. For our mains; (the real) Mr. Wonderful had the chicken parmigiano and I had the lasagna. Generous servings of incredibly superb food. I usually prefer my own lasagna but actually liked this one better. One of us was able to enjoy coffee and a cannoli, (it wasn't me) I brought home leftovers. We would seriously drive back to Goldendale, Washington, just to eat at D'Avanzo's and highly recommended this little gem!
