    Indoor dining area for the cafe with a full bar next door. The Historic Washington Hotel was built 175 years ago.

    Food is very good and the ambience is great. There is dining on the back porch overlooking the Yuba River.

    How beautiful can it be?!

    Over the hill and through the woods to Washington Hotel Cafe we'll go! I think this is about as good as you'll get in the town of Washington. The town is small, if you blink, you'll miss this place. Located on the first floor of the Washington Hotel, its a unique place to get a bite to eat. There's plenty of seating both in and out. We chose to sit outside, as there isn't A/C inside and the back patio had a nice breeze. The service was quite slow for having only us and another table occupied. We ordered a burger and a turkey sandwich. My burger was supposedly 1/4 lb but it was half of that. What saved my burger was the crinkle cut fries, Score! Hubs had the turkey sandwich, and frankly, the turkey sandwich was WAY better than the burger! The turkey Sammie came with a bag o' chips, it was one month outdated. I might have brought it up to our server but she didn't come around much. I'm ok with that, but I know a lot of peeps who would be in a Shizzy, if they saw that they were served outdated chips. The food was mediocre, but the view on the back patio is worthwhile!

    Side salad with housemade Thousand Island Dressing -- tip: dip your onion rings in this dressing!!

    We went here for a relaxing bite to eat and a cold beer. The view is spectacular, our quarter pound burger with cheese & onion rings and grilled cheese with tomato and onion, plus garden salad were all excellent. This is a no-frills kind of place and service was a unhurried as well, but we were here to relax and take it all in -- Washintgton Hotel Cafe delivered!

    Arrived on Saturday and found the cafe closed. They said the only thing for sale was ice cream.

    Very good food. Service was a bit slow, but the view of the Yuba River from the back deck dining area totally makes up for it.

    So beautiful and relaxing to enjoy views of the river, hummingbirds and butterflies from the deck.

    Took a chance but not really! Haha It's a twisty drive but it was fun to hit the road and drive…read moresome place new. Headed to this small cafe as it has great reviews, and was pleasantly surprised! Nice staff recommended the house made blackberry foam. Not sweet and very good in iced coffee! Next time in the area, will stop again! There was a neighbors dog who joined us too! Friendly and just hanging out!

    This is one of those places. Small town cafes can go either way. If you're lucky, you'll find a gem…read moreand if not (insert poop emoji). The Ridge cafe was in the former category. The place was quaint in a very small town. On the inside, paintings and other interesting art scattered the walls, a few tables and a restroom with a fun bathtub garden. The display case at the front counter (where are you order food) featured some appetizing grab and go treats and bites such as peaches and cream muffins, various cookies, lemon bars, potato and a curry chicken salad. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful with her recommendations. I had the NSJ Panini which was very tasty, it came with fries and coleslaw. I enjoyed everything. I ordered the lemon bar which was ok, a little tackier (sticky) than what I prefer but the flavor was nice. I was impressed by all of the smoothie and juice selections. They looked, well crafted and inviting. The next time I find myself in the area, I will definitely return for one of the salads and a smoothie!
