Tumwater Inn Restaurant & Lounge

I'm surprised by the reviews of 4 and higher. This is nothing more than a country Denny's. The country décor is old and outdated. The vast majority of people in the restaurant were well over 70! I don't have a problem with people being older. I'm just setting the scene.

One of the big menu items is the Rib Eye which is featured in several entrees. It was only 7:00pm on a Sat night and they were already out of Rib Eye!

The staff was nice and the food was mediocre. I ended up with one of the steaks. I think it was the New York Strip. It was cooked medium (the way I like it). The meat was a little tough. It wasn't the best grade of meat. They only had 2 store bought steak sauces. I was disappointed that they didn't make their own.

I won't be back.

Best semi-dive bar in town.

We have eaten here on every visit to Leavenworth, maybe 10 times total.   We love their bar.  We have had truly excellent food, and some not so good.  It is kind of hit & miss.  This time we were told they had a new chef recently.  We had breakfast, husband had the eggs benedict which he was not very happy with.  The sauce was very blah, ham not very good.   I had a breakfast burrito that had eggs & tons of vegetables.  I really loved it.  Would have been a perfectly healthy breakfast, except for some reason they decided to fry the flour tortilla in oil before rolling all the good stuff up inside.  It was very tasty though.  Service was ok on this trip, pretty slow, maybe the restaurant was busy.  We were the only ones in the bar when we arrived, and it took about 1/2 hour to get our breakfast.   Couldn't really say service was "friendly", but they were pleasant.   reasonable prices and good drinks.  I'm sure we will be back on our next visit to try it again.
