This place is amazing. This is the best food we can have during Mt. Rainier visit.

It was 8pm and my kids were grumpy and ready for bed. Even though I had to shovel my meal down my throat and deal with two screaming children, it was worth it. So worth it. Great food! My whole family enjoyed their meals. Mother and wife had the lamb gyro and said it was fantastic. My dad and I had the thali... So good! A quick experience after a long day hiking but will be repeated!! read more

Excellent food. The pork momo's, vegetable samosas are the best! Try the chicken thali too! The service and staff are wonderful and truly thankful for your business! This is a family business and they treat you as their family. read more

Wildberry Restaurant - Chicken thali - American Near Me - Ashford, Washington

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. A family owned business located very close to the Nisqually entrance of Mt. Rainier, it had a provided a mix of American and Nepalese food. We ordered entirely Nepalese food, so I can't vouch for the other stuff on the menu, but what we had was good. The Beef Momo tasted sort of like your average dumplings (with an interesting curry sauce), but the Sherpa stew was really hearty. We also had fried homemade cheese drizzled with syrup for dessert, which was quite good (be forewarned, it's very sweet). It was just a little pricey for relatively small portions, but all in all a recommended experience for people visiting Mt. Rainier. read more

One meal and a snack later I am extremely happy that I was able to eat here. We went to Mt Rainier just after the park opened for the season. It was one hell of a trip. Got to hike in the snow and did several miles of it without any crowd. But the icing on the cake was eating at this restaurant. Nepalese and himalayan cuisine is a close cousin of Indian food albeit healthier and probably milder spices. But having a thali (a meal plate) after several miles of hiking is heavenly. We also went by to have Sherpa chai and samosas the next day as well. Needless to say they were yumm. It is a family owned place where the service is warm, friendly and almost home-like cozy feel. It doesn't get better than this. read more

The most authentic Nepali food I've had outside of Nepal. Even the décor and ambience was like a restaurant Nepal. There was nice outdoor seating with a beautiful green lawn, Buddhist prayer flags, and surrounded by forest. The Kukhura Thali was amazing. I've been looking for roti like they made in Nepal and this place has it. This place isn't fine dining, but if you're looking for authenticity, this is it. read more

This place is very good. We all got three different kind of burgers and they were big and delicious. Meals range here from $10 to $20. The best part of this visit was that if you check in with Yelp. They take 20% off you total for me that was the reason I decided to try this place read more

Wildberry Restaurant - The desserts and bevs they offer - American Near Me - Ashford, Washington

This is a nice place to go after hiking. The Nepalese meal was good. The burger was also surprisingly tasty. I think the crisp it up on the surface on a flat top. My son had a super strong grip on the sandwich and wouldn't let it go as he was eating waving it around. read more

My bacon cheeseburger came out very pink, sent it back, was still pink, my sons burger was also pink, and the $20 platter was cold and not very tasty. And please don't use the ketchup, You can tell they keep re-filling the squeeze bottles and they've gotten swollen and ready for an explosion, meaning they leave them out and don't refrigerate. I can't believe people come back to this place for a 2nd time. read more

We had the Sherpa Stew and the Chicken Thali and they were both amazing and filling. But we heard really good things about their pies so we tried a slice of Blueberry Pie "a la mode" and we saved some room for it. Also very tasty and just the right amount of sweetness to end the night. Fast service and nice outdoor seating, but make sure you use bug spray if you are going there at night. read more

This is a very interesting restaurant with a variety of different foods. Who would've thought you could find authentic Nepalese cuisine at Mt. Rainier? We stuck to food we knew, though. My gyro was very good, as were the fries that came with it. We finished with a slice of huckleberry pie, which was also delicious. The family that owns and runs the place was very friendly and attentive in terms of service. Give it a visit! read more

To be fair, I have not eaten here but I must tell you why I give this place 1 star. My family rents a cabin just down the street and we have visited this area for the last 6 years. I saw a sign in front of the restaurant that said "fire wood" so I pulled over to buy some around 10am. As I walked to the door some guy on the patio area saw me and called out "sir...Sir...SIR. Do you not see the sign?". He points to there big sign with the restaurants name on it. However a car (I believe it was his car cause it was the only other car besides mine) was parked in front of it and was blocking the part that allowed anyone driving by to see the hours of operation. When I asked about the firewood he just turned away and said "come back when we are open". This guy spoke in such a rude condescending tone and manner that it took everything in me to not flip out on this man. I dont care if your having a bad day or whatever may be the cause of someone in the customer service business to have a bad attitude but there is no excuse to make your problems My problem. If this is an example of the restaurant and its business practices then I'm happy to say that it is a matter of time before this place Fails. This restaurant sucks, its sign sucks and its employees suck more. read more

Much better experience than other restaurant down the road. Had pork mono and Chicken Thali. Be warned the tomato sauce has a kick to it. Promptly served and reasonably priced. Patio has amble well spaced tables read more

Everything was so delicious! The chicken curry plate was wonderful. The veggie samosas and pork momo were both very good! Save room for huckleberry or blackberry pie (or both like I did) with yummy coffee! A perfect meal after hiking all day in paradise. read more

An unexpected but great find! A friend and I ran into this place after a day on Rainier-- we had met while doing the Everest base camp trek, so we knew we had to stop by as soon as we saw the prayer flags outside! Amazing backstory from the owner and delicious food. Great way to reminisce about our past trips over yummy thali. I stopped by a few months ago, but looked it up now to make the trip out there again. Sorry to see it's closed for the season, but I will be back out there in April! read more

Great Nepalese food, lovely owner and son. Had the samosas, thali x2 and pie. We will be back!

Surprising mashup of foods--traditional American and Nepalese. Right near the entrance to Mount Rainier-- delicious pie too.

This was a great treat. After a day on the mountain to find delicious. I ordered the Chana thali and my wife ordered the Chicken thali. Both were flavorful and filling Himalayan curries with dal, rice, fried bread and (for some reason) Cole slaw. We also shared the samosa appetizer. The waiter asked if I were vegan (I'm not) when we ordered, so evidently the staff learned from an earlier review to check. Definitely a wonderful surprise find. read more

Fantastic food, relaxing and beautiful patio. A great find after a day of hiking. Get the samosas!!

Great little spot with a mixed Nepalese and American classic cuisine. We got the thali, momos and ended our meal with their homemade blackberry pie (which was great!). All in, a great meal after a day of hiking at the Mt. Rainier National Park read more

This is such a great spot! Going to towns near parks it can be hard to find decent vegan food but not near Mt. Rainier. There are several vegan options to choose from--I got mushroom thali, vegetable samosas, and huckleberry pie. All absolutely delicious! read more

Great food and culture. Cool place for climbing and mountaineering folks exploring the Rainier area as the menu includes Nepalese dishes. Service was prompt and staff attentive. read more

Wildberry Restaurant - Sherpa Stew - American Near Me - Ashford, Washington

Downgrading my previous review. The daal soup was ok. The chicken burger was not ok. The chicken was dry, most likely frozen-microwaved and tossed on the grill. The second version was worse, the chicken was like a rubber. It's gotten worse when they argued that this is how it is supposed to be cooked, and quoted the temperature. The salad leaf on the bun was not washed. Laughable. These folks don't know how to cook. Plus the stuff is overpriced by about 30-40%. read more

Food is good, service is fast. We enjoyed our meals at this place after a long hike. Try their dumpling, sooo good.

You need to stop here! On our camping road trip up through the PNW we have encountered so many American and traditional restaurants that it was such a nice surprise to find a small town restaurant that served something other than burgers or pizza (though they have this type of fare too!) we my husband and I split the chicken Thali plate and an order of veggie samosas- and everything was delicious. My favorite was the lentil dhal soup- perfectly spiced and served at the perfect temperature. Really hit the spot on a blustery cold day! read more

Great place, a bit pricey but very worth it. Chana Thali, Chicken Thali, Momo, were all excellent as was the pie, although it was a tad sweet. The burgers and sandwiches also looked and smelled amazing as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

It does rather make sense to find Sherpas running a restaurant at the foot of this climbers mecca. It did however catch us unaware. We stopped for the shear novity if it. And of course had vegetarians in our group who are always excited to find a menu that will have actual edible options for them. The wait staff was so unassuming, eager to please. I love how he meticulously wrote the orders in his spiral notebook, line by line. In addition to Nepalese food they had hamburgers and fish tacos. Wondered if Sherpa stew was made by Sherpas, or cooked with Sherpas? Everybody enjoyed their meals. Would I go back? Probably to try something else and have the pleasure of being a welcome guest. read more

Veggie samosas were good, the mango sauce was a nice touch. The club sandwich was so-so, the fries were good. The pork moma was not good. Service was excellent. read more

Amazing service, wonderful staff and delicious food! We came down late from a climb and staff at Wildberry welcomed us warmly. Owner is a legendary climber and it was cool to see his photos and decor. Burgers were great, curry was fantastic and pie was the best. Thank you Wildberry for a wonderful meal and evening! Highly recommend to people traveling though Ashford! read more

Such a pleasant surprise to stumble upon. The Nepalese food was delicious, and the service was excellent. If you are passing through I highly recomend you go! read more

Huckleberry pie was good- lots of berries but a little sweeter than I like. Sister had blackberry and thought it was overly sweet too- but aunt thought it was perfect. read more

Absolutely delicious food!! We stopped here for lunch after hiking all morning at Mt. Rainier. This food is delicious, the service is excellent and if you don't get the pie afterward, you're an idiot. read more

Stopped in on a whim. Had a great sandwich, unbelievable fries and a delicious salad. Noticed a climbing suit in the corner. Read about it. It's owned by the owner. He has climbed Everest 13 times. Set a world record for fastest accent that he still holds today. The food the conversation and the thoughts of his incredible journeys make this place a certain return. read more

Would come back to here in a heartbeat. Whatever you do, make sure you get the samosas and the blackberry pie! Had lunch outside after a visit to Mt. Rainier and the food and service were outstanding. Both Himalayan and Western options available. On a nice sunny day, sitting outside with a beer, some samosas, and blackberry pie (a la mode!!) can't be beat. My sister and I also split a Tibetan chicken dish - was really more than enough food for both of us though we fought over who got to eat more of the samosa appetizer. read more

We heard the pie here was great so we stopped in to try it- oh my gosh, it was delicious! We tried both the huckleberry and the blackberry. Both were great, but blackberry was definitely our favorite! The guy running the place was so friendly and recommended where to go while we were visiting Mt Rainier. He was so kind! We went back in the next day for more pie.. he remembered us and asked if we went to do x, y and z things he had told us about. Great service and to-die-for pie! read more

This place is amazing!! The food is so absolutely well made! Me and my husband stopped here after a long day of hiking and the food was so good we came back for breakfast and were not disappointed. The service was very nice. read more

the restaurant inside is interesting, very suitable for a mounting climbing theme. food is okay.

I would give a "n/a" if possible but am giving one star for bad communication. I spent almost 3.5 years living in Nepal & was very excited to hear about Wildberry. Wanting to relive some old memories & wanting to introduce Nepali food to my husband, we made the drive to Ashford on 27 October, 2011. We were VERY disappointed (& miffed) to find the restaurant was closed for the season. I had read all the reviews I could find (no mention of seasonal hours), visited Wildberry's website (no mention of ANY hours) & called 2 of their phone numbers (answering machines only w/ no mention of hours) & left messages. We never heard back from anyone, so we risked the trip. The drive was beautiful, but it would it have been more so if we hadn't left Ashford hungry. By the way, re: the "prison style metal trays" comment -- This is the way many in Nepal eat their food. The smaller compartments are useful to separate the different accompaniments to their "bhaat" or main course - rice. Also, I suspect the stainless steel makes washing the dishes easier - as there isn't always soap & dish scrubbies available (in Nepal). read more

What a pleasant surprise! We drove by on the way to the park and noted the "under new management sign" and stopped to look at the menu. When we walked in, we saw the newspaper reviews for the new Nepalese restaurant. We were very excited and asked the waitress, "do you serve Nepalese food". She handed us the menu and we were hooked. We ordered strickly from the Nepalese menu (except for dessert, so we have no idea of the quality of the diverse American menu which included hamburgers, yak burgers, meatloaf wrapped in bacon, shakes, and a huge greek salad that the lady next to us ordered). After debating over the butter chicken, the mushroom dish and the Neaplese stew and the Mo Mo's (what the hecks that? they are like pot stickers only they don't stick), we decided to go with the Momo's to start (meat and veg mixed and they were just like pot stickers without the stick--meaning they were nothing spectacular unless you like doughy dumplings with cabbage or ground beef in them--the ground beef were tastier than the cabbage). After the Momo's however, we were stunned with the quality and taste of the Neaplese dishes. My chicken came in a large Thali with pickle (mango with fennel, I believe), a huge bowl of yellow dal, brown rice, a wonderfully flaky roti and a not to be mentioned frozen vegetable dish which we ignored. The flaky bread was hot off the griddle and incredible. We quickly ordered a second. The chicken was decorated with cilantro and was fresh, lively and flavorful. We added slices of pickle to the dal and enjoyed every bite. The Nepalese stew was unusual but wonderfully flavorful with a mixture of tender beef cubes, potato, carrots and daikon radish in a rich, flavorful broth. It was served with a fluffy, tender roll that was fantastic but paled in comparison to the roti (order bunches of these! you will not be sorry). We haven't yet had our dessert--we got it to go--but I'm expecting something pretty decent. A word on the setting: the restaurant is nothing special inside: wood tables, linoleum floor and counter seating, but there is a nice outdoor patio that looks inviting (if the weather improves). There is a small section of Neaplese crafts for sale as well. The places is clean and plays an eclectic mix of music. It serves local wines at reasonable glass prices--they literally filled my red wine to the rim. Beers were mostly local with a selection of Alaskan brews as well. Highly recommend. Seems to be clearly the best in the area. read more

The Copper Creek was packed, so we decided to give this place a try. The dining room was empty on this Saturday morning, but filled up by the time we were done at 9:30. Service was prompt and cheerful. The hotcakes were marvelous with a not too sweet berry compote served on the side. Biscuits and sausage gravy was a hearty meal, though a bit too oniony for my taste. Overall a good solid breakfast without fighting the summer crowds. read more
