If you're travelling through southern Washington on Highway 97, be sure to stop here. Now! The gyros are delicious. The grilled pita with some hummus is great. The baklava may have you thinking of a religious conversion.

The coffee was OK. Our 70+ American friend said it was categorically the worst hamburger she had ever had. The bun was ice-cold and the meat was a thin sliver of cardboard. The salad - which was supposed to be a sandwich... - was abysmal - ten minutes after serving they announced that there was no raspberry dressing as nobody wanted it. The BLT was edible. We had to ask for the chips that were supposed to come with the sandwiches. All chaotic but normal prices... The Subway on the edge of town is infinitely better.

Not any better than a regular Mexican Restaurant. Average or better food. It was the only thing open late in Goldendale.

Dairy Queen

Reviewed By Gretchen354 - Richland, Washington

While staying in Goldendale, I have eaten here 3 or 4 times. Each time, the service has been slow, even on a mid-afternoon. Seriously, 25 minutes for a salad with chicken pieces on top? But if you want the predictability and familiarity of the DQ menu, especially their ice cream products, I suppose it's worth the wait.

Stop downstairs and have a wonderful treat at this cafe. The location is unbelievable as it looks out over the Columbia River. A good place to get a great cup of coffee or soda and continue on your way.

Simcoe Cafe

Reviewed By Scott P - Jackson, Tennessee

This is bar...a dive bar. It seems to be popular with the locals and our bartender, Brandy, was friendly and right in spot. The ribeyes were cooked just right. I skipped the corn side as it was nothing special. Their scratch ranch dressing was right on point too.
I say check it out. Good food with local people

We ate here while stranded in Goldendale after hitting a deer, and it was a delight!

Everything was made from scratch, and they had all fresh ingredients including the mushrooms. Nothing peeves me off more then having canned mushrooms on my pizza!

Counting pennies, we asked several times how much a pizza was so when we finally ordered they even threw in a ranch for free! Now that's customer service!

If you're ever passing through Goldendale on your way to Yakima and you're hungry, stop off for a second and swing by Uncle Tony's you won't be sorry!

Was walking around town trying to find a cafe that someone had recommended and found Gee's instead. Glad we did. They have a great variety to choose from. My husband and I shared the shrimp fried rice and an order of eggrolls. It was delicious, served hot and fast. The staff was very friendly. Would definitely go back if we were ever in Goldendale again.
