  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.

  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!

  Usk "yousk" Washington for those outta staters like me is a small community but big on makin it right for those fortunate enuff to stop in at the Usk Bar & Grill. I was brought into the fold by my dear friends Steve & Lynne & grandson Kris, who live down the road a spell, for breakfast on Sunday morning. We started out with a nice full fisted cup o' joe and then ordered our breakfasts which consisted of the Country Benny which is a nice big plate of biscuit, sausage & egg slathered w/ gravy along w/ a lumberjack - truck drivers portion of country style hash browns. The hash browns were different from those I'm familiar with...they were like a mini French fry in shape but fried on the grill and AwesomE! Lynne & I opted for a custom healthier version of their Veggie omelet with their custom version of hash browns. I was sharing a bottle of a custom pepper blend called "MayBeHot!" that I brought along and Lynne & I decided it would be nice to test the spice in a Bloody Mary since it was after all the weekend and there was a full bar behind us. The "MayBeHot!" was a FINE addition to the cocktail and it managed to make its way to the hash browns and the omelets. What a KILLER breakfast, so much so I had to go for a walk just to help my loaded tummy handle my excessiveness.
  My love of small diners and the wonderful people that are passionate about serving the locals as well as new friends just passing through, was expanded on again. The staff was friendly, fun & aiming to please so if you are in the neighborhood you best pop in and make this restaurant a bigger player in the greater northern Washington / Idaho area! Our small local operations are the lifeblood of the community & need our undying support!!

  Great Food, Cool 90 year old building, Great food!
  Saturday Night "Talent" Show is a hoot. Friendly service in a rural setting. Great for people taking in the Selkirk Loop or heading to Canada. 2 blocks to the Pend Orellie River. Full bar and Summer time "Back Yard" outside dining and beer garden. If you are any where near Usk, Cusick, Newport or even Spokane  - You gotta try this joint out
