The 21 best cheap eats in Chelan

I stopped in for a late lunch after my ferry ride to Stehekin and had a good experience with food and service. It was a little busy and I wanted to order tamales, but they were out. I reviewed the menu and ordered the Chicken Mole Oaxaqueno with rice, beans. and a virgin Pina Colda. The menu features food from Oaxaca in Southern Mexico with soups, enchiladas, chicken, beef, pork, and much more. I listened to the Mexican music and ate the chips with salsa and beans. The chicken had a nice taste with black mole sauce. The rice was moist, and the beans nice a nice taste to them. You will also find daily lunch specials, a kids menu, and a few desserts . Located on East Johnson Avenue in Chelan and next to City Hall. A nice place to eat with friendly service, a menu with a number of options, and a fun family environment.

Small family friendly restaurant, good vibes and good service. Waitress was so friendly and food and drink arrived fast. Absolutely delicious Mexican food and so glad to have found the restaurant - we were not disappointed. Had the pina colada and it was so delicious and had small pieces of pineapple in it. We had the pollo asado chipotle as well as carne ala Mexicans and both were very delicious large portions. Chicken in the pollo asado chipotle were rubbed with Cajun powder before being smothered with tangy chipotle sauce. So good!

100% recommend if you’re in the area! We got the Asada Fajitas and the Adovada Tacos, and they were both delicious and filling with big portions. Soooo yummy! The service was also exceptional with incredibly friendly and kind staff. Would definitely come again!

Came here from Seattle. We ate here two times in our two nights three days trip! So good! Pollo verde was the hit!!!! Also fajitas!! So good! Plus an excellent service :) gracias!

The food was delicious! The salsa had a great smokiness to it. I really enjoyed the pork tamale. The masa was a little sweet and complemented the spicy meat. I want to try more things on the menu!

Other restaurants could learn a lot about good service from this lovely little family restaurant. Friendly and welcoming, ice water replenished regularly, tasty home made chips and dips immediately on arrival. All four of our party thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Portions are more than generous. At no time did we feel rushed and service was attentive without being intrusive. All in all, a very positive experience, thank you.

This was so yummy. The tacos were amazing. Margarita was great too

Great breakfast 🤤!!! One of the best places to get breakfast and the best in Chelan. Unfortunately, the old building burned down and they are in a temporary location that is an office building, but same great service and food.😁

The old location burned down, new location heart of downtown Chelan. If you’re googling directions, it will take you to the newer location. Quality of their breakfast was great and portion size was huge. Service was great as they were very busy. Smaller location so get there early to beat the long line.

Great place with nice setup and very good service. I got the farmers skillet and my wife got the apple skillet. Both of them looked nice and had a good portion size. The protein to carb ratio was not super good and in both I found the amount potatoes to be disproportionately large compared to eggs and other protein. My daughter got the smiley pancake I think, either way this was a great portion and value for money. My friend got the breakfast burrito which was very good. Overall nice place .

Horrible service and was disappointed. I was very excited to come here and try the food. After placing our orders my chicken fried steak had this weird taste and the green beans were soggy and just didn't taste right. My server was okay until I walked up and returned my food and apologized but something just doesn't taste right. The lady Krystal took my plate rolled her eyes and said I will give you another menu with a terrible attitude. That did it for me and I didn't order anything else. The rest of the food was mediocre. I was more disappointed in the service than anything just plain rude! We come to Chelan alot and this was our first visit to this restaurant which we were referred by the hotel staff. It ruined my day as I didn't feel like eating after.

New spot is awesome. Outdoor seating overlooking our beautiful riverwalk.

Finally decided to give the new Apple Cup a try now that most of the tourist have left. Really disappointed. I ordered The Bob which I have always loved. The biscuit was so dry and hard that it was difficult to cut even with a knife. My wife had the BLT. No happy with it. For $14 you would think that you would get more than 2 pieces of toast, 2 small pieces of bacon and some lettuce and tomatoes. This is defiantly not the same as the original Apple Cup. They need to get back to the great food that they used to serve.

They grill their english muffins which give a nice crunch and look. Their chicken fried steak is just average, a little tough and not very crunchy. Gravy is just blah with some pepper, hashbrowns were crunchy not oily or over cooked. Minced ham and eggs was good and flavorable. Food was for the price just average. Honestly you might as well drive a bit further to Blueberry Hills as their same breakfasts were awesome. Sadly closed mon and tuesday so gave Apple Cup Cafe a try. Very nice service. Building is old and has a certain smell. Could use a good remodel / cleaning. Sit in the back, that is much better than the front which is cold during this fall as only 25 degrees and you could smell disinfectant from the bathrooms right there.

Tried “The First Date” pizza, and it was amazing! One of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. The thin crispy crust was perfect, and the salty prosciutto paired so well with the sharp blue cheese. The sweet dates and balsamic really brought all the flavors together. Definitely a pizza I’m going to order again next time I’m in town!

Talk about the perfect pizza! This place absolutely nailed it! The pizza was amazing, that crispy undercarriage (not a hint of limp!) was exactly how pizza should be done. I got their lunch special, which was perfectly priced and came with a fresh salad and a massive slice of pizza that hit all the right notes. The staff were super friendly and attentive, checking in just enough without hovering. You can tell they really care about their customers and have a great connection with their community, everyone walking in seemed like a regular. If you’re a pizza lover, do yourself a favor and stop here. Great food, great people, and just an all-around feel good spot.

Great experience, awesome staff, and wonderful pizza and beer. We took full advantage of the staff recommendations, I asked for a beer sample and he brought a second he said was a similar style, a local wheat ale, and that's what I ended up with, it was great. The wedge salad was a big hit and pizza, after he nailed it with the beer, I asked him to pick the best or most popular. His one question back was , "Do you like spicy?" Since we do he suggested "The Firecracker" this was a for sure winner! We will definitely be back!

Ate lunch here yesterday, started out with 2 local draft beers and the wedge salad. I was in heaven, ice cold local brew and a delicious salad. Ordered the combo pizza, thin crust was crispy and the toppings were fantastic! I highly recommend this pizza restaurant!!! Almost forgot, the service was top notch! Thank you!!

Came here for the first time and honestly did nootttt disappoint!! It’s so good and everything was fresh and amazing. Perfect crust, flavors and portions. Over all just delicious. We had a party of 5 and shared everything but the calzone (husband ate the whole thing himself and that thing is huge). We had ordered the 3 meat Calzone, Penne Al Ragu, Chicken Cordon Blue, Margherita Myth Pizza w/ Prosciutto and for dessert the Affogato. We dug right into the affogato so we didn’t get a photo but I absolutely - highly recommend getting it because it was so good.

Even when totally packed, staff are so kind, down to earth, and helpful! Always the best pizza, best service, great selection of beers and ciders.

The best pizza place in Lake Chalen. The server was so kind and food was so yummy.

Didn't try bread or pastries, but the "quiche" was totally disappointing. No butter in the Pate Brisee, more like a pre-made commercial pie crust; the typical quiche custardy filling was basically a thick layer of scrambled eggs with stuff baked on the top, not incorporated into the filling. The girl behind the counter was pleasant and made a great cup of cappuccino. Maybe stick with bread (which looked great) and the variety of pastries or other items.

Okay, I hate to do this as I did used to love this place but I just visited this morning, and the ladies serving messed up my order multiple times without making any kind of clarification before placing and packing the order. I ordered: -Jalapeno & Cheese Bagel -1 Ham & Cheese Croissant -1 Spinach and Mushroom Danish -1 Strawberry Danish -1 12 oz iced Americano -1 12 oz iced white mocha What I got was: -Bagel -2 Ham & Cheese croissant -1 peach Danish -1 strawberry Danish -1 12 oz Iced Americano with a shot of White mocha flavor They corrected the coffee order, and I tried to double check in my bag that the order was correct, but didn't look well enough. On top of that, all the pastries were just lumped in a brown bag together (no individual bags like they used to do), and the first time they placed it on the counter it was covered in sugar and melted glaze and I had to ask to have it in a different bag. Just really disappointing in the lack of care that went into taking my order. I've served before, if you are confused about what a customer is ordering, please repeat the order back to them before placing and packing the order. It's not hard and would've made for an easier morning for both parties. Not even very apologetic for the mix ups. I probably won't be back for a while.

Terrible experience - my mom and I came into this shop trying to support local versus going to Starbucks nearby and regretted it so much! The service was horrible including the cashier gal’s attitude and non existent customer service. The food was also disgusting and way overpriced - the mushroom spinach quiche was shoved at us cold on a plate and we were told to microwave it ourselves (again without any smile or thank yous, etc!) and the taste was so bad that we each had one bite before throwing it away. Even the little birds outside didn’t like the quiche at all, or the crows! Then the lemon poppyseed muffin was also overpriced and tasted stale and old. The drip coffee was nasty. Overall nitrile experience - we ended up going to Starbucks and were thankful to receive way better customer service and quality food and drinks. Do not recommend at all!

Don’t come here unless you only want a baked good. They microwave their eggs and pre-make bagel sandwiches. Our kids wanted a simple toasted bagel with butter. They give you the bagel and you have to toast it yourself and put your own butter on. For that amount of time and work,we should have just stayed home. Service was friendly though.

The food was decent. I had the ham and cheese burrito and was disappointed that there only seemed to be a thin lunch meat style slice of ham in my burrito and wish the hasbrown had some salt and pepper on it. My husband had the bacon option and said it was good with the hot sauce. We also got a bagel and raspberry Danish for later.

I hate to give this place two stars but need to be honest. The idea of an "artisan bakery" inspires images of goods lining the walls and the smell of fresh baked pastries. This place is the size of a broom closet and has a small collection of bales options, excluding many of the most popular. Their espresso is automatic and coffee is kept in a press down bunn. They have a couple small tables outside with views of the hill, however they're in a strip mall facing a main street. The chocolate croissant was decent and the cashier was very pleasant. The coffee, as expected had little flavor. +Nice customer service, baked good was decent. -Tough location, very limited assortment, no legitimate coffee pairing option.

Very quaint! Food was fresh, views were wonderful, and the staff was very friendly. Stop by for a coffee and a croissant if you're in the area.

A group of 12 on a bachelorette/bachelor party went to this restaurant. They were very accommodating to our large group and were friendly. The food was amazing (fish tacos) and the bucket drunk was tasty too!!

We stopped in for lunch on our first day in town for a conference and had such a great experience that we came back later that night for drinks. All three of us ordered fajitas and they were absolutely delicious, huge portions, perfectly seasoned, and served sizzling hot. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The restaurant had just been decorated for Día de los Muertos, and it looked colorful, festive, and full of personality. Later that evening, after most places had closed, we came back for margaritas, and they did not disappoint! Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area, it’s the perfect mix of great food, great drinks, and great vibes.

Basic ingredients. More fillers than meat I got the chefs burrito with chicken steak and shrimp and didn’t eat half of i my as It was wet tortilla and freezing cold guacamole $30.00 burrito had me suspicious but waiter insisted its a hot plate here I’d go to the restaurant again just avoided the burritos personally To each his own Salsa and chips are garbage-3star on those

First time Visiting Marcela's Cocina Mexicana in Chelan. We spent the day at the water Park, then drove into town for dinner. Found Marcela's and decided to give it a try. We were greeted immediately and sat promptly. Menus, water, chips and salsa were brought. After a bit, our server arrived for a drink order. When our drinks arrived, we ordered our food. When our food arrived, it was plated well and of sufficient portion sizes. We all enjoyed our selections. Flavors were good, as well as the temperature the food was served. I do have to say, once our food was brought, it was a while before we were able to order another drink and our water glasses were never refilled. We also had to wait a bit for our bill to be brought, after we finished our dinner. Otherwise, the restaurant was inviting and comfortable. The atmosphere was good. As I said, we enjoyed the food. I think this is a good option for Mexican food in Chelan.

I am a local person. My takeout order was wrong so I called to get a replacement. They messed it up again and forgot chips and salsa. The staff were rude and the food was like warm. Very disappointed. Recommend La Brisa instead. Much better food and service.

The food was yummy we did have a bit of a wait but it was a Friday evening so it’s understandable. The top shelf margarita was delicious. I had the shrimp quesadillas from the appetizer menu and it comes with 3 single corn tortillas that are very crispy. Filled with cheese and a couple of shrimp with sour cream on top. We were seated on the top floor and it was very nice with good music.

So this place definitely has room for improvement. 1. The salsa with the chips was quite spicy. 2. This place is big with an upper seating section as well. We were made to sit on the top. Service was spotty. Staff was, most of the time, nowhere to be seen. Perhaps if you have two levels, always have at least one staff member on the top floor. 3. Food took quite a while to arrive. Not typical of a Mexican restaurant. Maybe because it was a vacation day at a tourist attraction, but they should be prepared for it better.

Went here on a Sunday. Waitress/bartender was very nice and explained she was the only one working so there would be a wait. It is important to know THIS IS A BAR, so minors cannot be seated inside. Limited outside seating is available. The food was good, we got the Bavarian pretzel, shrimp sandwich, tacos, and chicken wraps.

Today, Wy Tyson, Mixologist, made us a beautiful new champagne cocktail. Pomegranate syrup, lemon juice, champagne and Empress Gin. Fabulous!!! We call it the Empress Pom. Thank you Wy for experience at Layla’s. See the latest photos. November 2023 Our first visit with new ownership. Matthew, our server, was attentive and was great making a wine selection of Mellisoni Pinot Grigio to go with our lunch. The appetizers were fabulous. Thank you James, Chef of the day, did a wonderful job preparing the dishes we enjoyed Asian Chicken Salad, Prime Rib Dip, not pictured that was delicious was the Korean Beef Bowl. The dishes our family ordered were fantastic. See the images, like Shakira says, ”Pix don’t lie!”

We enjoyed the craft cocktails and the crab Rangoon dip! Only one person tending bar and serving food but he did a fantastic job!

As you can see the bowl is empty. Means food is good. This was the Korean Beef Bowl and i absolutely nuked it. Very delicious. Come eat at this good spot.

Great spot to grab food in Chelan! The Korean beef bowl was delicious and their espresso martinis are some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s the Best vibe in town and we will definitely be coming back.

So terrible. From the start, waitress super rude, unwelcoming, made us feel like she didn’t want us to be there, incredibly rude responses. Not even passing plates down, pouring us a well tequila when we ordered reposado. Food was terrible and worst than even the waitress, if you can believe that, there was a total infestation of fruit flies all over us at the table. We were literally fighting them off ourselves and the food. Thousands of them. The staff clearly knew about it because they had cider vinegar jars next to the table. Yet nobody came by to see how they could help or apologize for the inconvenience of seeing a group of 4 swatting flies off their food, drinks, faces for the entirety of the time we were there.

It was my first time in Chelan, WA recently and I had the great pleasure of stopping into Layla’s Bar and Kitchen during my visit. Great overall service and ambiance but not to mention the delicious food. I got the rib dip and their famous espresso martini. Overall, great experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Chelan soon.

Great food, great atmosphere, amazing service! We enjoyed all dishes, with the most remarkable being the watermelon salad. The kids had some kids items that are unlisted on the printed menu and they loved it. Everyone on the staff were super nice and welcoming. This is such a gem in Chelan and we'll definitely be back. Parking was a breeze right out front on the street and generally it seemed no one had issues finding parking.

Place is racist! The host sat an American couple before our group right in front of our face at 7:45pm without a reservation. Then told our group it’s closed. Place is clearly open. Please see your own image below and take accountability.

Not family friendly! We included our child in the guest count when we made our reservation. When we showed up to the restaurant we were told they didn’t have space for our stroller, no big deal, we were happy to fold it up and store. However then they said they didn’t have high chairs or boosters. The servers said multiple times that it would be better if we brought in our car seat… I don’t think she understands the logistics of a toddler car seat. When we said we would eat somewhere else the server decided they could make the stroller work. We were not given a kid’s menu and I assume they don’t have one. The food was delicious! Every thing we had was amazing, but the crab cakes were to die for! At the end of the meal the server thanked us for keeping our child quiet. While she meant it in a kind way, it just really goes to show that they do not want children in the restaurant.

Well their condition inside clean they have chandeliers a nice ambience very clean bathrooms and very fresh tasty food simply Delicious. I hate fish in my wife had me try the tuna that they made I couldn't tell it was fish I thought it was steak it was so fresh. I had a salad my son have waffles and chicken and I tried it all it was simply delicious. If we're ever in this part of the state again will definitely stop by to eat again.

We had a great dining experience at the Bistro. Food, beverages and service were excellent. We sat outside and all the setting was perfect. They were great to accommodate for children's options. Definitely plan to come back.

Wow. Instead of admitting you messed up, you hide behind excuses and sarcasm about being a “small town” business. That’s pathetic. Nobody forced you to open a restaurant if you can’t handle it, that’s on you. Customers don’t care about your struggles, they care about basic honesty and consistency. If you can’t manage walk-ins, stop saying you accept them. If you can’t even post accurate hours, that’s just lazy. And telling customers to “run a restaurant someday” is one of the dumbest, most unprofessional things you could’ve said. We’re not here to babysit your business or feel sorry for you — we’re here to eat and pay. Instead of owning your mistakes, you attack the very people who keep you alive. That’s not just bad service, it’s arrogance. This response proves the problem isn’t just your staffing or space it’s your attitude.

Second time here and again it was very good. My wife's Copper River Salmon was amazing. The New York steak and crab cakes were both excellent. The Burrata, and asparagus appetizers very nice. Only critiques would be trimming the asparagus so you don't eat the fibrous ends and a little more than just a brush of hollandaise on the crab cakes as I couldn't really even taste it. This is a great place for a special occasion or a nice evening out and would highly recommend.

My friends and I stopped in for dinner after a day of doing Taste Chelan. We ordered a hot toddie, bao buns, chicken Caesar wrap, soup of the day (corned beef & cabbage), and mac and cheese. We were all very happy with our food choices. The bao buns were unexpectedly perfect and the mac was creamy and cheesy without feeling heavy. Overall we were happy and will come here again next time we’re in the area.

We were in the backyard and it was the prettiest view I have ever seen. The food was the best come here on your way to Chelan. If you don’t you you’re missing out😁 🤤

Stopped in for lunch right after they opened to kinda had the place to ourselves. The staff was amazing. This place was awesome. Mixed drinks were great, as well as their food, which came out very quick after ordering. Update : year after year, still our go-to. great service and food as always.

The owner and staff are super friendly and accommodating! Food was fantastic as well! Update: They started using fresh noodles from the local pasta place for their smoked Mac and cheese...What a game changer! I got it with chicken and bacon. Absolutely to die for! Update 2: They now have a Cuban sandwich that is to die for!

Quality…fresh…attention to detail…service…all fantastic. Stopped here once while traveling, now been here five times. Best food and drink in town!! Did I mention the large selection of bourbons? They may have many quality beers, but the old fashioned and manhattan were superb!!

Food was ridiculously pricey for what you get. My chicken caesar wrap came with chips and was almost $20. Same with the gyros we ordered. It was tasty, but I’ve had just as good food for less. Really nice outside seating area tho! We enjoyed our time here.

Got in right as they opened and we were immediately greeted by a super bright and friendly young man, Ethan. We were delighted when he told us they had non alcoholic beverages, a rarity in the restaurant industry and a pleasant surprise for a couple that doesn’t drink. The food was excellent, tasty and unprocessed. Another major highlight was that they are dog friendly. Grateful to have found this little gem while spending the weekend in Chelan.

Campbell’s Pub & Veranda is a true Chelan institution, housed in one of the original downtown buildings from 1901. The Pub itself is tucked inside the historic structure and still retains much of its original charm, think classic wood chairs, pub-style tables, and an old-school atmosphere that’s hard to find these days. It’s a cozy, adults-only space (21+), and a fantastic spot to enjoy a drink and a solid meal away from the family crowd. The Veranda wraps around the pub and is open to all ages. It’s bright and lively, but be prepared, it tends to fill up quickly with families and kids, especially during peak hours. Food-wise, the coconut cakes appetizer is a surprising standout, unique and seriously tasty. The Pub Burger is a favorite, and their fish and chips are exactly what you’d hope for from a proper pub kitchen: crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. If you’re downtown and looking for a great meal with a cold beer or cocktail—especially in an adult-friendly setting, the Pub at Campbell’s is a can’t-miss

Great place for view and breakfast. We went for a Friday breakfast and the place was not super busy. Got a table by the window as it was chilly in the veranda but that also looked like a great seating choice otherwise. The pancake stood out for me and I really liked it. The eggs and potatoes from kids menu was pretty good as well. I got the oub breakfast which was okay. We also got the vegetable scramble which was good. Overall great experience with good service.

Myself, my wife, and her coworker popped in for lunch while staying at the resort for a conference. On a Sunday afternoon we were seated immediately and servers glasses of clean, fresh tasting ice water. The ambiance of the restaurant was extremely nice and the music they had playing was a great addition. We ordered our food and waited about 15 minutes and it was entirely worth the wait. I had their Fall Burger and Campbell’s Lemonade with Caesar salad on the side. Everything tasted incredible and after all that and several of my wife’s French fries I did not feel like I had eaten a brick, which leads me to believe that they use quality ingredients. We will be back here again, and you should visit too if you can!

This restaurant believes they are “high class,” and tries to be pretentious yet serves fish and chips and meatloaf sandwiches… I came here with my family and, due to allergies, brought an açaí bowl from Goldie’s across the street. We were on a stop and thought this place was a casual dining spot/pit stop restaurant. Our waitress immediately told me outside food was not allowed. Fair enough—but when my sister politely asked what the solution could be, the waitress actually suggested I sit on a bench 20 feet away from my family to eat. The suggestion was so absurd I almost thought it was a joke. I asked her to confirm with a manager, but when the manager arrived, the same attitude was reinforced. At that point, my entire family left. It’s disappointing that a restaurant that seemed so regular and not fancy, went to try and pride themself to keep an image that does exist. The manager said outside food was a “liability issue”. True high-class establishments have a better look and serve higher quality food. My advice for this restaurant is to lower the pretentiousness if you are going to look like a low class pub. Does the açaí bowl look like a threat to you?

Outstanding breakfast "Chelan Sunrise" with excellent coffee and a warm atmosphere. Service was prompt. But let me tell you about the bacon - Um, nope, you'll just have to try it yourself!

Campbell's has changed over the many years since last dining here. It is no longer 5 star cuisine. Steak was thin, tasteless and over-cooked. Fried chicken was tiny tenders with too much breading. Burger was good but a bit overdone. Highlight was the fried pickles. They were perfect with just the right amount of spice. Wine selection was limited. Service was okay.

Unexpectedly brilliant menu, and service! Dinner and Breakfast were both awesome.

This is definitely a greasy food stop. As long as you know that's what you're getting, it's totally worth it. Burgers were good, fries were delicious. Wait wasn't too long for how long the line was. There were tables to sit at outside some in the shade. And water was provided outside, which was great for a hot day.

Pretty disappointing experience unfortunately. We had to wait 45 minutes for our food. Which, I get it, busy drive thru on a sunny Saturday, but the owners should account for that and have the kitchen fully staffed and running fast. Paid $15 per cheeseburger which seemed high for the quality and quantity of food. About half the fries in our basket were fresh but the other half were weirdly stale like they'd been sitting out. I will say the onion rings were great, but I don't think we'll be back.

We ordered online for pick-up, and everything was ready on time and exactly as ordered, super easy and convenient! I appreciated that they offer gluten-free buns (toasted or left in packaging) and fries, which can be hard to find at a drive-in. The food was tasty and exactly what you want from a classic drive-in spot. The little lakeside setting makes it even better; you can sit and enjoy your food with a great view of the water.

Beautiful location and we were surprised there was no line at the order window. High school kids taking the order and they were very nice. Going to the waiting area, it was the opposite and a ton of people and an hour+ wait. Again really beautiful backdrop which made the wait bearable. Burgers were dry though and very under seasoned so not worth the wait at all. The onion rings were spectacular though. Better idea to buy your own ground meat and make your own burgers if you have access to a grill.

Great old school burger joint. The views are amazing. Food is delicious.

Amazing spot to eat and watch Lake Chelan. Tastes like nostalgia. Slower than it used to be, likely due to online orders.

Lakeview Drive-In is an absolute must-visit staple when you're in Lake Chelan! This spot has that perfect nostalgic charm mixed with unbeatable food and beautiful lake views. Every time we visit Chelan, a stop here is non-negotiable—it’s just that good. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and made just right every time. Whether you're going for a classic cheeseburger or loading it up with extras, you can’t go wrong. The fries are crispy and golden, and don’t even get me started on the famous fries with seasoning salt—they’re addictive! We also love their milkshakes—super creamy, with tons of flavor options, and the perfect way to cool down on a hot day. The service is always quick and friendly, even when the line gets long (and yes, there’s usually a line—it’s popular for a reason!). The location is amazing too—you can enjoy your food while overlooking the lake, which just adds to the whole experience. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, Lakeview Drive-In never disappoints. It’s classic, comforting, and delicious. Do yourself a favor and make sure to stop here at least once during your visit—you’ll be craving it long after you leave!

This restaurant was such a disappointment. Ambiance great, had good reviews, menu sounded superb with many varieties. Would have rated it 1 star, but at least our waiter made an effort. The food was either too salty, bland, and lacked the true flavor of Italian cuisine. The chicken was so rubbery, you couldn't cut it with a fork. Even with a knife, it was a struggle. I agree with some of the other lower star reviews. This place is overrated. Won't be coming back.

I am so sorry I did not take any pictures. I will have to convince you to try Andante’s with my words alone. Andante’s, in my humble opinion, is the best restaurant in Chelan WA. The atmosphere is something out of the 60’s piano bar but updates for today. It was fantastic. The decor and music lets you relax and enjoy yourself as the server and others behind the scenes help make the experience even better. They say you eat with your eyes first and then your mouth. That is surely the case here. The food presentation was amazing. Portions are more than generous. The price for a pasta dish seems high until you see the care and attention to every detail of food placement, texture and flavor. You cannot go wrong trying this restaurant. Andante’s is on our stop every time we visit Chelan.

Our waitress was perfectly sweet. She was not very knowledgeable and struggled to explain chicken marsala. The food was the real struggle here for the price. $36 for pasta primavera with chicken. It tasted like a frozen skillet meal from a bag, unfortunately. Grapefruit prosciutto salad was absolutely swimming in the raspberry dressing. We had to ask for a fresh one with dressing on the side. There would have been no tasting anything but dressing with that amount on it. Mostly a pile of romaine lettuce for $15. Humiliating the to go bag is leopard print, my husband did not love carrying that out the door….And we tossed the food before we got into the car. Sometimes less is more. Overall, from a chef, this place needs a chef. Someone is trying to make their foodie dreams come true but is needing real guidance. Best wishes to them, for the prices and quality I would not return until an experienced chef is in place.

We were able to snag a table late, and the whole feeling of the place was so unexpected in Chelan. I felt underdressed but most people were casually attired so no biggie. Our server was attentive and friendly. Drinks came fast and the food was not far beyond. Chicken piccata, the caper sauce was so tasty, and the shrimp with prosciutto pasta was smooth and dreamy. Go on in and relax amidst the frantic feeling of Chelan.

I feel it is over priced. Nice atmosphere but don't bother getting the Fire Pasta. They basically throw Frank's wing sauce on the noodles and chicken. My sisters tortellini and chicken with pesto was average at best.

Outstanding in all levels. Cindi was a fabulous server. The food was superb. The ambiance was like a New York City high-end restaurant.

I visited this place for dinner while traveling for work. To start off, it is pretty difficult to go wrong with a restaurant like this. I walked in without a reservation and was seated promptly, even though it seemed like they had several reservations that evening. The service was top-notch throughout the evening, making for a very pleasant experience. The food was very good. Probably not the absolute best Italian food I've ever had, but still great. The atmosphere is very enjoyable as well. This is a small dining area with maybe 15 tables or so. As such it is cozy but refined. Very attractive decor and ambience. However, to reiterate, the thing that made this an excellent dining experience was the service--best I've had in Chelan. Highly recommend this place for a good, upscale Italian dinner.

Delicious Mexican food. Everyone in town recommended it. Literally everyone we talked to. They were right. Very attentive staff, highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing dinner at La Brisa! 🌮🥑🍽️ The food was super tasty 😋, the service was friendly and quick 😊👍, and the prices were just right 💰👌. Loved the whole experience! 💃🎉 Will definitely come back again soon! 🥳❤️🌟

Absolutely fantastic experience! We showed up without a reservation and a group of 15, despite the place being packed, they seated us in under 10 minutes! The staff was incredibly patient and attentive, quickly took our orders, and managed the large group smoothly. Our food arrived fast, piping hot, and impressively, almost all at the same time. Every dish was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was top-notch from start to finish. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Amazing restaurant that should be on everyones must visit list! Lovely staff and everything was just amazing! Food will not disappoint

We had a larger group of 12 people and had to be seated at 3 separate booths. This was fine but created some issues with separating checks as each family was a bit separated. The restaurant was incredibly busy but service was great and fairly fast. Our dinner was delicious and I will definitely go back if we go to Chelan again!

I came here last night with my family, the food was amazing, and looked better in person then on the menu. The service was top notch, our waiter offered refills everytime they passed by, and i could tell she had a genuine smile. The looks of the place were nice, but it can feel a little small at times. The only issue i had, i ordered the "Plato Cancun", but there was barley any fish, shrimp, or chicken. It was mostly mushrooms, but besides that, 9/10, i would come here again.

Excellent friendly service at lunchtime on a weekday and delicious deals Monday to Friday until 3 pm. The chips and salsa also comes with beans! Yum. Large lunch portions! Total was around $15 including tax. Small and busy parking lot out front or you can parallel park on the street around the corner. No outdoor seating.

Such wholesome custom box meals. Great blend of different veges. Peanut sauce was average but the teriyaki and spicy sauce were amazing! Regular fried rice with Tofu was also amazing! Veg dumplings were average. Definitely coming back.

Did a take out at dinner time. Got a fried rice with jasmine rice, soy garlic sauce and pork. The place was nice and cozy and service was very good. The fried rice was not so good, the rice was undercooked and overall lacked salt and flavor. I did get a mild spicy but felt the lack of salt undermining the profile over all.

Friendly staff! Food was really good, great portions, fresh ingredients. GLUTEN FREE! The small size is more than enough lol Highly recommend if you are looking for Asian cuisine around lake chelan. Plenty of patio seating. Limited seating inside. Dogs welcome on patio

Loved their yakisoba, the crab wontons were good too. The place is very cozy and feels like a home, service was great and the server was very kind and made sure we enjoyed our food. A must try if you are in Chelan.

Best Yakisoba noodles I’ve had in Washington—hands down. Definitely go for the spicy! I ordered the small, but it was so good I immediately wished I’d gone for the large.

Had a fantastic time dining here! The outdoor seating was great and could seat our larger group. The service was speedy and the staff were very kind and patient! We ordered the Yakisoba Teriyaki Chicken, Rice Noodles with Peanut Sauce, and Curry Fried Rice. Everything was very flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. Overall, had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area!

It was very quick and good. Great people quiet place. Food tasted amazing.

My husband and I visited this winery on a weekday afternoon. We were impressed from the moment we spotted the estate! The beautiful building and grounds set the mood for relaxation and splendor. We felt the cost for the wine tastings was quite reasonable. And if we purchased two bottles of wine, our wine tastings were free. We sampled and later bought the best red wine we have had in a very long time. We later found out it had been a big award winner this year. We sat outside in the beautiful surroundings which include water features and lovely natural habitats. There is even a gift shop with unique items to purchase. We would highly recommend a visit to this gem.

Tsillan Cellars is an absolute gem! The venue is beautifully designed and lively, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable experience. The stunning views of the vineyards and surrounding landscape are breathtaking. It's a very romantic spot, perfect for a date night. I wish I had a guy take me there! The wine is exquisite, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Whether you're there for a wine tasting or a special event, Tsillan Cellars offers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

The place is very wonderful! Everything is very nice but the service is not very good and high quality! We ordered a glass of wine each, but it is a quarter of a glass! The price varies from 16-20$ for a quarter ! I probably won't return to this winery🍷 again

The owner of the place is the greatest guy ever! He hugged us and welcomed to his restaurant before the opening hour! It was very cold outside and we appreciated it a lot! The food was great! Very tasty! We also bought the 100-point wine from the winery! It was an outstanding quality! Highly recommended place to eat and to taste the local wine!

We had the most enjoyable experience today. Made reservations at Sorrento restaurant in Chelan connected with Tsillan winery. Got there and were seated at a beautiful table overlooking the lake in the shade. Had a great meal, great service, then went to the tasting room next door. Got great service and went to the patio to go do our tasting! Had a surprise visit from the owner and the man who started the winery. A pioneer of wine in this area. Shared my connection with the Hedges’s and so enjoyed talking to him. A testament to the passion of wine. 88 and still comes to the winery everyday. His light is still shining bright❤️ Bravo Robert (Bob) Jankelson. Thank you so much for the conversation and the beautiful bottle you signed for us. Thanks so much, Kathy and Joel

We loved music in the vines! The tuna was excellent, and the truffle fries were the perfect accompaniment. Try the red wine! Yumm!

wow- what an incredible location - overlooking Lake Chelan! You could spend a few hours on the property just strolling and enjoying the views, the vineyard and rolling hills in the back Food was delicious. staff friendly. memorable experience. probably the best winery we have visited in all of US! highly recommend.

I was recommended to try this place out, was told it's the best coffee in town, so of course I was very excited. Took my whole family there. Wasn't surprised when there was a long line out the door. And I was more than willing to wait. Sometimes good coffee takes a while to get. Well, while I was in line, several people ordered food out of the case, and EVERY TIME, they grabbed it with their BARE HANDS. Not washing between touching the register/money, not wearing gloves, not using tongs. Just grabbing it bare handed. It wasn't just one person. It was multiple. I was disgusted. Especially as a person that works in the food industry. I was planning on getting some food, but absolutely not after that. After a couple customers, for some reason, someone started using tongs. I don't know why they're not being used every single time. On top of that, not one person that worked there that day was friendly. They all seemed to be angry that anyone could want coffee. I wasn't greeted friendly, I was barely even looked at. They all had such attitude. The place was actually very cute, they had some merch, and self serve coffee toppings like honey and cinnamon. Several tables which came in handy as one of my kids needed to get some homework done. But that was all they had going for them. The coffee wasn't even very good. I can say we came back the next day, because we really needed coffee, and the person working that day was actually friendly. I will give them a star for that. I can understand there are bad days here and there. The coffee was a little better this day too. But not much. I have to say I am highly disappointed in almost every aspect of this place, and if I'm in Chelan again, I will absolutely find another coffee place

Found a great coffee spot in Chelan l. It is my first time in the town and needed a good cappuccino in the morning. Loved the atmosphere of this spot and they had a good selection of fresh pastries and food items as well. It turns has wine and beer too later in the day. Great place to hang out with local community. vibes

Ordered a matcha with strawberry cold foam.. Tasted like milk. Strangely like oat milk which we did not order. We asked the girl to fix it which she said she would and then proceeded to give us a brownish milky drink. No more matcha like we had asked and the cold foam was still not “cold foaming.” She seemed nice enough, just does not know how to make a decent matcha or “cold foam.” Overall would not go again. Definitely not worth over $7..

Great coffee shop located in downtown Chelan. We ordered the breakfast burrito and quiche, both were excellent. The coffee roast is Blue Star, which I hadn’t had before but seems on par with cafe Vida. The bar in the back serves cocktails and beer on tap. By the front door you’ll find outdoor seating, perfect for those warm days.

I love vogue! The coffee is delicious and the food is too! Their cookies are unreal. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious and huge. The staff is always kind and the service is quick. I love that you can order online and pick up too.

Veg quiche wasn’t good. A bit salty and slushy. The caprese veg sandwich was great. The banana milkshake was too too sweet. Will want to come again o try smoothies.

There was a 100 people at Starbucks down the street so we gave this place a try. The coffee was many times over better than Starbucks. We like a dark roast. It was definitely dark enough, but was smooth as well. It was not to crowded. Friendly staff.

Our family enjoyed our evening at Even Keel Roadhouse! DJ Drummer was super fun entertainment and suitable for all ages. Their menu was great with a lot of variety and options. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. Service was quick and friendly. Seating was plentiful but we brought our own chairs just to make sure. We will definitely return as we had a very nice and relaxing evening listening to music. People of all ages felt welcomed and so did the pets!

Went to try out their new menu while I was in town. The food is so GOOD! Our group of 4 all ordered different menu items, and none of us had any feedback to make the food better. If you have a kiddo with you, there are food items for them, too, as well as yard games out front for them to enjoy. They have quite a variety of drinks. The service was excellent and our server kept checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back in the future!

Food is great! We started with the chips and guac/salsa, it was fresh and excellent! We had the club, but put it on sourdough, and it was perfect. Tots are excellent! We have a special needs daughter, and the waitress behind the bar was so nice and patient (Sunday, 7/20). Thank you for that, it can be tough at times, but you are welcoming! Beer selection is pretty good, but a little too much emphasis on Old School Brewery.

I have never felt so comfortable at a public place! Talk about above and beyond and making us feel comfortable! Wonderful food, Theresa is a real gem!! We ll be back!

Great chill vibe, nice staff, food and drink options for everyone. Family and dog friendly with lawn games. Wide variety of music, highly recommend the roadhouse!!

Food and Drinks were great, staff was friendly! Fun place to listen to music on the lawn. Pet friendly too! highly recommend 🤩

Service was incredible. ❤️ Thank you for making our night out with Bellingham and Spokane friends so fun. We love Regan! 🤩

First of all, I’m extremely delighted that an establishment like this exists here. I ordered the vodka sauce with added sausage, which was delicious in more ways than one. Over virtual text I cannot properly describe how light and perfect this pasta tasted. The texture and flavors of the sauce and pasta noodles were some of the best I’ve ever had. Portion sizes! They are spot on with how much pasta and additions they give you . Not too much pasta, but by no means a small amount. Wonderfully done. The outdoor seating and Italian drink section was fantastic as well. Great job owners and staff.

I was skeptical on whether a pasta without any vege toppings will be tasty. But was a wrong! The traditional Tomato pasta and the vodka sauce pasta were both phenomenal. The chilli oil and burrata topings were amazing! So flavorful and balanced spices. Tiramisu was also outstanding - they said it comes frozen from Italy. Can’t recommend enough. The servers were friendly and the ambiance was chill too. A definite place to go.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would. I’ve never had an experience quite like this before. You order inside off of a very limited menu. They are very intentional about their items of the week. My fiancé and I chose the pomodoro and the vodka sauce (added pork sausage) The pomodoro was fresh and light. It was over fusilli. The bright tomato flavor with the black pepper on top was delightful. The pasta itself was cooked a little north of al dente, which is perfect with fresh pasta. The vodka sauce was with radiatori. This shape had a bit more thickness, which held up nicely to the creamy tomato sauce. The outdoor seating was great. Nice tables and good shade. Quiet and away from the roads. We each enjoyed a nice can of Italian soda. Both my fiancé and agreed that it was the best fresh pasta we have ever had.

We ordered a few different dishes and ate them family style. Super cute little unassuming place, service was great and quick and the pasta was absolutely delicious! We couldn't decide which was our favorite between the three we ordered. Really glad we checked this place out while visiting Chelan! Also love that you can easily order to go. Will definitely be back!

This is easily the best restaurant in Lake Chelan, hands down. Their pasta is so fresh and the sauces pair perfectly. The gorgonzola sauce is to die for. And they have rotating specials along with classic desserts (gelato and tiramisu!) We loved the place so much, we went back twice! Teeg was so sweet, he treated our baby so well and always checked in to make sure we were enjoying our meal. We ended up leaving with a couple bags of pasta since our baby loved the food so much! (They also have a mini market in the restaurant!) If you're ever in Lake Chelan, I HIGHLY recommend you make a stop here.

We love this spot. You order and then seat yourself, which is nice if you’re wanting something quick. But by no means do they rush you, you can take your time and enjoy your meal. We tried 4 of their dishes and every one was delicious. The price is generous and so are the portions. The staff are super friendly and attentive. The music was great. We will be back!

1st time at Lago Pasta. We’re here for the National Paragliding Championships and the very 1st restaurant we hit up had amazing Italian food. Outdoor seating and very dog friendly. Love it. My new favorite in Chelan. Aloha

This was a cute little shop that had a lot of options for organic foods, but unfortunately the prices were astronomical. I used to shop at Whole Foods exclusively until I moved, and Bear Foods puts them to shame with the high prices. A box of Traditional Medicinals tea that I usually pay between $5-$6 for is $8 here. The raw milk was $11.50 for half a gallon. It is nice to even have the option to get these products in such a small town, but going forward I will order my things online at a lower cost.

While arriving at Lake Chelan, I found this Bear Foods Natural Market Store. I was fascinated by the signboard at the entrance and went inside. There are things in the narrow space, and I haven't looked at each one properly, Herbs and spices are sold in small portions and reasonably priced. There is a unique package of chocolates, which is intriguing to buy. There are natural and health-conscious items. I feel like I can stay in this shop for hours. You will surely have something you want. I recommend checking out this store when you come to Lake Chelan.

This place is THE best. Amazing staff, fantastic products. The selection of non alcoholic wine/ ‘liquors’, and the loose leaf teas are super impressive, among a thousand other things. Also their tote is so cute.

Absolutely outstanding natural / health food store. They carry many items that nobody in the region does. Very reasonable prices. Parking is on the street right out front. It is somewhat handicapped accessable, but some ailes would be very difficult with a wheelchair. They carry few brands found in the big chain groceries.

Definitely check out this store. You’ll love it. Vegan options and tons of unique gifts! Cleverly decorated and the total experience was enjoyable. Street parking. Bathrooms. Pricey. *EDIT - my 5 stars went down to 3 - after shopping I drove to a campground a few hours away and hungrily opened my vegan jerky and pumpkin seeds only to find out they were EXPIRED since april!! Ugh. Waste of money.

They have a great selection of natural foods, supplements, and woo-woo type items. We love stopping in and getting the niche clean foods we enjoy.

Fun place to shop for a variety of things. From loose tea leaves, to herbs, to puppets, to grocery items.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SMOOTHIE PLACES EVER!! Every single time I go to lake Chelan I look forward to getting this exact smoothie bowl. This is the dream bowl and it is amazing. It tastes like cake and is just so good. I don’t get anything else because this bowl is so good. I recommend you guys to try this place out.

This was such a great experience! This was my first time in Chelan and I stopped by for an açaí bowl. They made the base fresh right infront of me and all the ingredients and toppings were fresh. I got the Golden and it was so delicious, better than my açaí place at home. The employee was so so kind, we talked for a long time about our shared hobby of reading, and she said I was welcome to stay and read with my açaí bowl which I did and had such a peaceful time! Beautiful views of Chelan out the window, very clean inside, delicious açaí bowl, super friendly staff. 100/10 recommend and definitely coming back!!!!!

I’ve been coming to Goldie’s since the day they opened, and they never disappoint!!!!! They use only the freshest, whole ingredients, so you can feel good knowing every bite is wholesome and healthy. The vibe here is always relaxed, welcoming, and full of good energy!! Definitely a must-visit when you’re in Chelan!!

this place deserves a 10000/10 the customer service is soooo welcoming and friendly, AMAZING açaí bowls😍!!! the atmosphere is such a vibe . definitely will be coming back !!!

Goldie's has been a family favorite since the day they opened! My husband is hooked on the Groovy Smoothie, my kids can't get enough of the Golden Bowls, and I'm all about the Rainbow Bowl, it's my go-to every time. The atmosphere is incredible, with the friendliest, local staff who always make you feel welcome. The outdoor seating is Absolutely Beautiful! Goldie's is a true gem in our community!

Absolutely love Goldie's! I go weekly when they are open because I just cannot get enough. Their Golden bowl is a favorite of mine, as well as the Chagaccino with oat milk (you have to try it!). The staff is always so great, even when they have a long line of customers they get through the orders in a timely manner, I never have to wait long. It's a beautiful spot inside and out. 10/10 recommend!

Goldie’s is one of those treasure places in Lake Chelan. I love this place, I go here at least once a week and get the Golden bowl every single time. It’s absolutely delicious and I love knowing that all the ingredients are clean. This goes for everything else on their menu as well. The staff is always super friendly and can accommodate to my needs if needed and their playlist is always on point. I dread for the Goldie’s off season, I wish they were open year round!

Good food. Fast service. I went for the tripe, they didn’t have any, I stayed for the birria and tried a couple of other things, pretty good.

I came here for lunch while I was camping. I got carnitas tacos and they were super delicious. The meat was perfectly cooked and tender. I also got some homemade tortillas, those were delicious and I will be back soon. The pricing is also very very good, especially for the quality. 11/10 would recommend.

While the people were nice, the food wasn't great. Went close to closing, so that's probably why the carnitas and carne asada tacos were tough and dry.

Outside seating area. Make sure you find a spot under the umbrella. Food is authentic and tasty!

Small menu, no salsa for toppings very little parking. The food was dry. No pazzas

They were very slow but the food was good and the park like seating was nice.

The food is amazing. The customer service is excellent.

Big fans of Karma, and this was our first trip to the Albatross. The fish and chips was good, and what was interesting is that the fish seemed to either be dipped in mustard or made with mustard powder in the batter. It was different but interesting. The fries and ranch also had a mustard seasoning, which was a little much but ok. We had the steamers which we love - made w/ Karma's Chardonnay. Sliders were solid for the kiddo, but not many options for the little one. Staff had great service too. It was a challenge with the kiddo since the seating was only tall bar type stools on the terrace only. It felt more bar like, and of course catered more to the golfers. I would return, but probably wouldn't be first choice especially with the kiddo

We went without reservations on a Saturday so had to sit outside which had a great view but was super windy and cold. They did gave blankets and as the cloud cleared with the sun hitting the place it was not that bad. We got a couple of ipas with fish n chips, salmon and baked Mac and cheese. The fish and chips was pretty good and I enjoyed the Mac and cheese. Overall nice place with easy parking

We had a 7:15pm reservation But did not conceded until 4:45 pm. We sat down at our table with a group of 10 after waiting 30 minutes extra to be seated Then we sat there for almost 15 minutes before the waitress came over to our table. She finally took our drink orders and one in our group ordered appetisers which took almost 30 minutes to get. Then she finally took our dinner order, which took about 25 minutes Then our waitress spent most of her time in the bar putting glasses and other Dish dishware away totally ignoring us or seeing if we wanted another beverage We had to actually ask her for another round of drinks, and break her away from putting glassware and such in the bar away Then when she came out and gave us our bill, she said there was already a 20% gratuity added for groups of our size So she never really had to work for her tip at all. She was terrible and not attentive at all to her customers. But I guess when your tip is guaranteed, your Service can suck and you still get paid

Had a large party reservation at Albatross last weekend, taking all my best girlfriends to my favorite restaurant in Chelan. Casey was a rockstar juggling all of our food and drink orders and helping us celebrate! She treated us 10/10, prompt and friendly. All of our food was correct and amazing. We love Albatross & Casey!

This is our go-to when we go to Chelan! The food, service and views are incredible!! The menu has a variety of options which is why we keep coming back 🥰 our friend just recently had her bachelorette there and the staff went above and beyond to make our time there extra special! Couldn’t recommend it enough!

We come to the Albatross at least once every single time we come to Chelan. The food is divine. Friendly servers. Gorgeous view. Great wines by Karma. What more could you want? Try the chicken piccata or the delicious prawns and scallops entrees. So good!! 😊

Great atmosphere over looking the golf course. A few food options from burgers, fish and chips and salad. Running a few minutes late and was able to accommodate the delay even though kitchen was closing soon.
