columbia valley brewing

The inside is run down and old looking. The outside patio was busy so we sat inside. When we arrived it was not busy so we got our order in before the crowd showed up. We had appetizers of potato skins that were very good and then we had a chicken quesadilla which was also good. We noticed they had brewing equipment but they were not brewing so only had beers from the area instead of their own. I don't know how you can call yourself a brewing place when you don't brew!? My husband had a couple area beers that were good. Once it got busy, we were ignored by the 2 people working the bar and floor. They need to hire more people. We could have walked out and not paid since we never saw a bill but walked up to the bar and asked for our check after waiting for almost 30 minutes for our waitress to come back to our table. We would not bother going back.

Had dinner here tonight. The.nice.thing was it wasn't busy at 7:00 on a Friday night. That's unusual for Wenatchee. We had intended to eat at Saddle Rock Brewery but the line there waiting for tables was, out the door. We soon found out why this place wasn't busy. Service was VERY slow and the waitress was snippy and, surly. They didn't have a pale ale on tap so we settled for a blonde that was so-so. They didn't have clam chowder even though the menu said they may or may not have soup on any given day but they ALWAYS have home.made chowder on Fridays. We ended up having a salad and some.nachos. Food was like the beer: so-so . Finally a different server who was pleasant finished up with us. Next time we'll wait in line at Saddle Rock. Better food, better beer, better service, better atmosphere and worth the wait. We won't be eating here again.

We stopped here on a quick trip to Wenatchee. The food was delicious. They freshly prepare food on site. For example the turkey is fresh roasted in the kitchen, the ground beef is always fresh, never frozen. Most, maybe all of the bread comes from Wheat Montana Farms in Missoula. Between us there was a turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich, a half pound stuffed jalapeno burger, chicken noodle soup and kettle chips. It was all yummy. They make their own dipping sauce with the right touch of horseradish! Because it is prepared to order it may take a bit longer for your food to arrive. It is worth the wait.Maybe next time we will try some brew.
