The Wooden Nickel

This place rocks - great food and very nice owner.  Best place in Ritzville!

My girlfriend and I stopped in here for a quick break on our drive from Seattle to Spokane.  We are both from small towns and love meeting locals from other rural towns.  We walked into the Wooden Nickel not knowing what to expect.  

We immediately loved the fact that they have a real Buffalo head and pelt on the wall - super cool.  We both ended up having a beer and chatting it up with Bryan and another local.  Bryan is a very nice guy, down to earth, with a good head on his shoulders.  I could tell that he is a hard working man and genuinely cared about his guests and their experience.  I wished there were more Pub owners like Bryan.  We had a great time and walked out with a smile on our faces.  I hope that life takes us back to Ritzville again in the future just so we can drop in for another drink.
