The first time we went it was great. Great food and service. It was the weekend. Good Chef. The next time a Monday it took 30 mi to get water and I had to get up and ask for it. Food good. The last time service was bad and I had the special a stir fri veggies old meat tough. Haven't been back. Wish I could give a better review. I guess I should try one more time on a Friday or Saturday.
Review Source:I've lived in Usk for 13 years now (BTW Slider S. ... It's NOT pronounced 'Yousk' ... It's USK, like 'Musk' or 'Dusk' without the M or D....)
Anyway, when the previous owners were in charge, the place was a DUMP. It was basically a place for the indians to go get drunk, the kitchen was disgusting, and the menu was basically 'Do you want some food with your grease?' kinda thing.
I went in there once in the late 90's and vowed to never go back. The joke around town was the 'swimming pool eggs' for breakfast. (As in the eggs were floating in the grease on your plate)
So, recently, it was shut down for almost a year after it changed hands and the new owner/management has turned this place 180 degrees around.
It was my wife's birthday last week and there is a banner out front that says 'Live Music on Weekends' .... So, we went.
I couldn't believe what the place looked like after the last time I'd been there. All brand new inside, clean, and very nice.
Food was AWESOME! The wife had some 'veggie pizza' (Which had disgusting things that guys don't eat, so I can't comment on that) ... But I had the 'Pantera Burger'.. And it WAS! About a 1 lb. burger, with SIX slices of bacon and WRAPPED in ham!! It was so tall, they stick a steak-knife through it, just to hold it together. It really was an EPIC burger. My choice of a side was potato salad and that was awesome also!
The staff/waitress was energetic and always making sure you were happy. They hit the very fine line of being attentive enough, without being over-bearing. Our waitress was SO good that, even though our bill was $37.00 (pizza, burger, and six Corona's) I left her a $20.00 tip.
And after dinner we went out back, which was a very cozy 'backyard' feel to listen to the Bluegrass band that was playing. It was picnic benches, a nice fire pit, and mosquito candles to keep the bugs away. The music was great and they (Band and restaurant) went out of their way to make sure you were having a good time. We will be going back every other weekend now!
DON'T look at the map posted on this site... It's wrong. Usk Bar & Grill in on the corner of King's Lake Road and Black Rd. ... Next to the post office.
Wow! Great food!
We stopped in Usk after a full day of exploring Pend Oreille County and were hoping for a somewhat decent meal. What we got was a fantastic dinner! We ordered the Ruben sandwich and the South of the Border Burger, both with fries. So delicious!
The service was outstanding, and they even serve breakfast during the week and brunch on the weekends. We'll be back!
