Palace Cafe - (Near Ellensburg, WA)

5 /5 Greg Salo: My wife and I visited the Palace Cafe on the morning of Friday, November 28, while driving east to Pullman for WSU football. This is a very nice nostalgic restaurant. Large seating areas. My wife had the Eggs Benedict, and I had Fried Eggs and Hashbrowns. So good! We will be back.

4 /5 Ed Lee: I walked from my hotel for breakfast at this historic Cafe and found good food at a fair price. It was not really busy and I ordered the two pancake & two egg breakfast with a side of sausage patties after a short wait. The breakfast menu includes omelettes, waffles, pancakes, French Toast, fruit bowls, a variety of coffee drinks, and much more. I received my order in about ten minutes with eggs that were scrambled and not fried. The waffles were huge and were fluffy with a nice taste to them. The sausage patties had a nice mild taste. The scrambled eggs had a nice taste and were not overcooked. You will also find a lunch and dinner menu with burgers, sandwiches, soups, steaks, milkshakes, wraps, desserts, and much more. Located on North Main Street (I-90) and Fourth in downtown Ellensburg. One of those long established cafes with great food, friendly service, interesting decor, and a down home vibe.

3 /5 R More: I usually write about restaurants months after visiting, which helps me rate the place more fairly. If I can’t remember what I ate, that usually means it was typical food you can get anywhere—and that’s what I see here. That said, I vividly remember the classic wood-accented vibe, which made me slow down and actually enjoy myself. I came back for a second visit, which says a lot. The waiter we had was excellent, checking in just the right amount, which I really appreciate. If you’re passing through E-burg, this spot in downtown is definitely worth the stop—great atmosphere, solid service, and a reason to linger. How I rate below. ★ Skip it. Not worth the napkin. ★★ Only if desperate. Starving, lost, or snowing sideways. ★★★ Forgettable. Safe bar food, like warm socks from a bargain bin. ★★★★ Worth returning. Solid, dependable, no regrets. ★★★★★ The reason you go. Crave-worthy, intentional, makes you pause—how did they make that?

5 /5 Ballaurena13: Fun decor of yesteryear but in a well-kept dining room. Most of the food was notably fresh. Comfy booths. Only saw street parking but we got a spot on the next block at 5:15 pm on a Friday. Attentive waitress. Wild sockeye salmon was nicely cooked. We didnt try them but they had a display of baked goods that looked delicious - cookies, brownies, pie, etc. A fair stream of people coming in, especially families. Patrons seemed to be nicely attired in dressy casual clothes. The negatives were that I chose the brown gravy for my parties and it tasted like powdered gravy mix. And the bathroom had some minor details that could be better. Note that breakfast wasnt offered in the evening. All in all, we plan to come back again when opportunity allows.
