Milepost 111 Brewing Co

The Milepost Burger is awesome and I love that they use local cheese, good local meat, and buns from a bakery nearby. For the price of a standard burger at Applebes or Red Robin, you actually get something high-quality and fresh. The beer selection is the best I have found in the region.

There are few *great* dining options between Wenatchee and Seattle, and boy does Milepost know it.

1) The prices are exorbitant. Expect to pay $14 for burger / fries for the same quality you could get at a decent diner. Pints start at $5, which is fine, but it would be nice if they had happy hour specials.

2) The service is mediocre. Our waitress was slow and absent-minded. Milepost has a great beer selection but we never received a beer menu and we were thirsty so we just picked a couple random beers.

3) The ambiance has a nice local flavor and pleasantly distracts from the brown, barren mountains around it.

So it turns out Milepost charges more than it should for a mediocre experience. Still, it's paradise compared to Leavenworth with all its faux-Bavarian bullcrap. Keep driving.

Our river rafting tour guide recommended this place and since we are a fan of breweries we thought we would try it out.  They have a nice deck overlooking the river but it was so hot out we sat inside (which is open-air so there is no A/C). I tried the American Blonde and their Huckleberry lager and they were both good.  I would recommend their gorgonzola burger, it was very good.  My husband got the salmon fish and chips but he didn't care for the breading they used and it tasted burnt.  Our fries looked and tasted burnt as well but maybe they just needed to change their oil in their fryers.  It also took a long time to get our food. They were busy but people around us who were seated with us got their food way before us.  I am not sure if we would go there again...maybe for just a beer and appetizer.
