Ruby Slipper Bar and Grill - (Near Port Orchard, WA)

John Prieto Nice to find a place that you feel that you are a local when youre sitting and eating and enjoying your time all from work. I bought a skillet, and it was actually very, very good. Thank you to all that was working that day.

Kathy Richardson After PT on Wednesday we met up with a relative who is up from TX. Even though the parking lot was packed we were able to get right in and be seated. We were greeted as we walked through the door and seated immediately. Water, coffee and ice tea was served right away and then we placed our meal order. I ordered chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs, country potatoes and sourdough toast. Ray ordered the farmer’s omelette with country potatoes and wheat toast. Richard ordered the loaded hash browns and white toast. Our breakfast came out fairly quickly. The toast came with homemade strawberry freezer jam. My sourdough toast was the nice thick homemade slices. Richard and Ray had ordinary sliced bread. My chicken fried steak was huge and thick and looked delicious. Unfortunately, my entire breakfast was cold. Ray and Richard both said their breakfasts were hot. I guess I was the lucky one. I would have sent back my breakfast. but we were on a time frame as I was meeting a client for a Sheena experience so I sucked it up and dealt with it. I had enough left over to take home. So did Ray. While my cold chicken fried steak had good flavor it was much better when I reheated it at home. I did say something to the manager as we were leaving. I complimented the flavor of the meals and the service, which was excellent. I was informed the new cook is young and still learning to coordinate food items so nothing sits and gets cold. We have eaten there before and had good meals. This was the first I had a problem. It was not a deal breaker. I will go back!!

Hewitt Reptiles Wow, this is the best bakery ive come across in the area. I tried the pumpkin cupcake among other things. Bonus points they make their own syrups for the coffee and offer oakmilk as well. Open convenient hours and offer special orders with a couple day notice.

Josi West Classic diner experience. The beer battered fries were amazing, and the fry sauce was the perfect compliment for them. The onion rings were crispy and the double cheeseburgers were perfectly balanced with ingredients to taste both fresh and filling.

Scott Patton The Tav is an Ellensburg institution that doesnt seem to have changed in the almost 20 years Ive been coming here. The food is good but nothing special with the Supermother being a highlight. The beer and drink selection is good but definitely very small town college bar. The best part of this place is the fact that its a welcoming small town institution that remains a constant in a changing world. Worth a stop if you are in town.

Kristen Marshel This has been on my radar for awhile. Heard very good things and they were all correct. We ate at the bar. Small bar area. Ordered shared plates. The lasagna is truly a gem. Caesar salad and then their pepperoni pizza. All extremely flavorful and delicious. Service also was 100! Prices very reasonable considering the quality. Definitely will be back.
