A definite 4.5 star experience. A true gem of a find in downtown Duvall. Late afternoon Sunday stop after a hike. Taproom/bar on top of meals. Our server was very personable and sweet. Yes indeed the prices are high imo, even for the current economic climate. High extras costs for things like real maple syrup and sweet potato fries. But the food we enjoyed was worth it to our taste. Breakfast served all day, only on weekends. The breakfast menu has all the usual suspects plus a few surprises. And the lunch menu is heavy on the handhelds with some salads also. The Rueben my wife ordered was delicious if somewhat spendy. Thick cut corned beef, nicely toasted rye (from Grateful Bread nearby?) and kraut made a great example of this sandwich. Pronounced “delicious”. After numerous questions, I chose to try breakfast item-biscuits and gravy. Not only is it a favorite of mine anywhere, it’s a nice modest cost. I also added a side of link sausage. This turned out to be a fantastic choice as it was one of the best versions I have had in the last five years or so. Especially outside the south. Scratch made gravy heavy on the sausage and very flavorful. One of my questions had been if the make their own biscuits which they don’t but buy them from Grateful Bread. So fluffy and fresh tasting that had to have been baked that day. Perfect vessel for the gravy. Loved every morsel. Came with potatoes that I felt were over cooked. Maybe my issue. The sausage links-which I was unable to find out the name of the producer-were also very good. Richly herby with sage and other spices. If I knew who made them I buy a lot myself. A fabulous, unexpected, soon to be revisited find for dining. We live about an hour away and intend to return for breakfast or ? in the...
Read moreWe stopped by here for brunch before the Duvall Days Parade and were able to sit down in the bar area immediately (everybody else was sitting outside). Coffee was hot and juice was cold. I also ordered a non-alcoholic bloody Mary and it was delicious! My boyfriend got a scramble and I got the Snoqualmie Valley breakfast with blueberry pancakes. It was so much food! Didn't finish it all since the pancakes we're thick and the size of the plate, but the bacon was salty and crisp and my over easy eggs were perfect. The atmosphere was informal, chill, and someone's playlist was on (an eclectic array of 70s rock to popular early 2000s punk). I believe our bartender's name was Chris and he was attentive and very nice and chatty, but not hovering. Would love to come here again to try their regular...
Read moreThis place consistently serves high quality food with genuine small town hospitality. I ride my motorcycle from Edmonds to Duvall just for a beer and a snack on nice evenings. Highly recommend.
Update Aug 2024:
Still killing it in Duvall. And I am still riding from Edmonds (which has pretty damn good food too) just to visit this gem. Their dinner specials are ridiculous. The service is professional and friendly. Very good beer selection (with a cider on tap now! Yay!) and crafted cocktails with specials on the fresh sheet.
And you can hit a brunch on the weekend. Oh yeah, the best sweet potato fries I've had around here.
The quality and charm has been consistently high all the years I have been coming here. ...
