Do you guys charge an extra 5$ for credit cards? I just got billed 30$ instead of 25$.

We've been there many many times and have never been charged an extra fee for a credit card payment.

Do they have take out

Hi Debbie, yes we do offer carry out for our meals. You can find pictures of our menu here or on Facebook, and call us at 5096742241 between 5am and 8:30 pm Sunday through Thursday and 9:30pm on Friday and Saturday to place your order. Our kitchen closes at 9pm and 10pm so this will allow time to prepare your order and pickup before we are closed.

A few years ago I enjoyed a steak at the cafe. The steak had a flavor of Worcestershire, superior to other seasonings I have had at cafe's around the nation. I encountered that flavor only one other time, in Bremerton. What's the seasoning?

I thought that's where I was asking... it's listed as the Sunset Cafe in Cle Elum on the "ask a question" line. Sorry, will try something else.

Do you sell gluten free pumpkin pie?

We do not. From time to time we do make gluten free desserts, I will pass this suggestion on to our Bakery.

We love this place! I get the roosters sandwich but I add onions, arugula and aioli. The servers are super nice, comfortable setting, delicious food and their pies are great. They also leave the coffee pot with you to refill as needed- which I love.

Nice atmosphere. Clean and well lit. Wait staff were friendly and helpful in spite of being inundated by several youth basketball teams. Only negative was the noise level given the crowd. It made it hard to communicate with our table.

We absolutely love the Loose Wolf Saloon! Great vibe and truly excellent service. So this is a locals hang out but if you have a sense of humor and love Seahawks well they consider you a local. We had the corned beef Benedict a dish called the Elk Hunter. To die for. Get a Bloody Mary with it you'll be in brunch bar heaven.

Amazing service and top tier food selection. The burgers are a sight to behold especially the "Baby light my fire", cheese filled peppers with the bacon wrapped around them make it amazing.

Excellent food, fast friendly service. I had the cowboy tri tip with baked potato and steamed veggies. She had broccoli chicken fettuccine with salad. EVERYTHING was a cut above expectations and portions were LARGE. Drove an hour to get here (nice day for a drive), and it was well worth it. Senior and military discounts are another plus.Highly recommended.

Just a suggestion- we tried calling ahead to check the menu but were directed to a Facebook page. It’s unclear if the Facebook page is advertising specials or if all photo items are available on the menu to order. It might help to update the site to make it more clear what is available to order by phone. Thanks!

My wife and I stopped for lunch passing through town. We had a french dip and the turkey sandwich with pesto (side included). Each plate was $15 which is very expensive for a diner sandwich in my opinion. The sandwiches had homemade bread which was the best part. The turkey and beef were standard quality and I barely had any pesto on my turkey sandwich (pesto is why I got it and it was sub par pesto too) , the fries were standard. At $37 out the door for two basic sandwiches (and just water to drink) I can easily say I would never stop again. Service was standard also. My wife wanted a cookie on the way out which was another $5.50 for 2. You can find better value easily. Maybe their breakfast and dinner is better? 3 stars for the in house bread for our sandwich.

Tasty food and friendly service! They are also a bakery so their bread is amazing! The fried chicken was tasty and crispy without being greasy or overly salty. The mashed potatoes and gravy were yummy and the sautéed veggies were good though they could have used a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten them up. The hubby got a burger which he really liked though the fries were a little flaccid. I appreciate their dedication to sourcing great ingredients and will definitely be back. I hear their breakfast is where it’s at.

Excellent prime rib dinner. Tender and flavorful. Salad, loaded baked potato rubbed with olive oil and sea salt, and toasted french bread served with a bowl of clarified butter and garlic cloves. Reasonably priced too.

We stopped for the first time a couple days ago. Although we were theoretically past breakfast time, they made my husband’s day by fixing him a great breakfast. I was ready for lunch and had the roasted veggies which included half a butternut squash filled with rice. The food was absolutely delicious - obviously freshly made and sourced well. The quantity of food made three meals for me, and remained delicious on the third meal. This will become our place to stop when traveling I-90!!!

Been there multiple times! The food is always good! Really nice eclectic menu. Sat inside for the first time in a while been ordering to go the past few months. Every employee in the place today was wearing a mask as they should even the cooks. Only problem is that every employee was wearing their mask below their nose or down to their chin. Not a big germaphobe myself but it was pretty funny to me in which it might not be to some others.

Definitely using canned gravy... I had the biscuits and gravy and sorry but there was no sausage unless it was so small I couldn't find it. Texture comparable to mushroom soup from a can.... Coming from three adults at the table.

For down home cooking with a few surprising twists this casual sit down restaurant in Cle Elum comes through. Just don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. Decent burgers and salads, some vegetarian options, ok beer and wine selections. Not inexpensive, but good quality and quantity and excellent service.

We had our annual family vacation and ended at Sunset Cafe because we were told that it was the place to go. The breakfast was amazing and everything was homemade. Bread, rolls, sausage and the portion were huge. We had a party of 20+ without reservation buy food came out in a timely manner. The only thing I would complain about was the drinking cups. They have seen better days as they were plastic and had lots of smudges and dents. Otherwise if I ever come back to Cle Elum I will eat there.

This is the type of restaurant that is loved by locals and travelers alike. Well worth driving to, a little past the handful of fast food joints immediately off 90. Service is always good and daily specials are great. Prime rib and clam chowder are standouts but between my family and the friends we've brought here I have seen nearly everything on the menu and never heard anything but praise.

This restaurant is a total rip off! I was so disappointed when I ordered my beef stew. They charged me 12 dollars just to give me what looked like sewage from a can. I could have bought the same exact thing from a 1 dollar can at the grocery store. What I learned from this experience is that I can only trust my mother's cooking.

Phenomenal burgers! I ordered the snake bite burger. We stopped in off the interstate for some lunch. The server was very helpful, the menu said where and how they get a lot of their foods. Most appears to be local, or made in house. Prices were much better than we were used to in Seattle. I highly recommend this place. Try their blueberry lavender lemonade to if you have the chance. Beautiful little town to drive through too.

Update... returned and had the stew and steak, plus more of the wonderful sauted veggies. All cooked to homemade perfection. Will definitely return. At this price it's well worth the visit. Bartender made perfect old fashioned for us as well.I ordered the fried chicken and my chicken breast wasn't cook through but they quickly offered to fry me a new piece. The roasted veggies shined, the fresh baked bread the melted butter and garlic was delicious and husbands giant piece of med rare prime rib was perfect. Friendly service. May give another star if next visit goes without a hitch.
