Apple Cup Cafe

The three of us had dinner there on Wednesday night around the 7 o'clock hour.  We ordered 2 Chef Specials which were the T-bone french dip sandwich meals, and a Rib steak dinner, a milkshake, the trio dessert sampler, 2 apple cobblers, and 2 beers.  The check came to about $75.  The portions were well sized.  We took home left overs.  The Chef Specials came with auj jus and french fries and were really good.  When I first looked at my plate the steak was accompanied with the mashed potatoes that I requested and a veggie which was zucchini and squash. I normally don't like the bitter taste of zucchini and squash blend, but I gave it a go and I was quite surprised. It was DELICIOUS, well seasoned, no bitter taste. It was the best thing on the plate.  The mashed potatoes were good too. The steak that I requested medium rare was extremely fatty, quite bland.  It was not a rib steak and had no bone. It was an undercooked prime rib cut. Salt and pepper didn't really do much to flavor it, and A-1 was too heavy.  Aus jus brought out the flavor, but what it really needed was to be cooked on a flame just a few minutes more.  I had to microwave the leftover meat about 3 minutes to become a normal edible consistency.  My daughter and I were debating what milkshake flavor to get. I wanted peanut butter chocolate and she wanted Oreo. Instead of a never-ending back and forth stalemate we decided to give our compromise a try: peanut butter chocolate oreo. Wow, what a yummy invention!  They also have homemade desserts displayed in the desert case.  The apple cobblers were good.  The trio sampler with the chocolate pudding cake, meyer lemon cake, and the blueberry cheesecake were rich and yummy. Definitely brought it as leftovers to our hotel room to snack on repeatedly.  We had two different waitresses- one to seat us and get our drinks. When we walked in it was a full dining room with people finishing their meals so the dining area we were in dwindled down just to one other table when we had ordered another beer half way through the meal.  After 10 minutes or so we realized she forgot about us. We tried to flag her attention but she remained oblivious. The other waitress who was kind enough to check on us, who i believe is the head waitress, seemed more experienced and knowledgeable than the younger, previous waitress who failed to inform us of the beer choices on tap, so ended up with a Bud Light... I discovered this diner a few years back and am a repeat customer here when I visit Chelan.  This is a very quaint, homey, cozy, friendly diner that I would recommend.  They seem to have the weeks' specials posted and it appears they have a special every day. They also have the Fireside Lounge on the other side of the restaurant.

Good breakfast spot, and even better Bloody Mary!

Great food, great service, outstanding prices. Breakfast was amazing, one of the best Chicken-fried steaks I have ever had.
