Review from Shauna W.

One of the best little mountain getaways from the city.
Tucked away along a beautiful scenic drive along the Naches River. Whistlin' Jacks makes me feel all fuzzy inside when I think about it on a cold day.
Their cabins available for rent are perfect for a romantic weekend away. Cozy couches in front of the fireplace. Hot tubs and jacuzzi's on your outside deck if you choose.
And the food. TO. DIE. FOR. I've sampled everything from breakfast to dinner and it is all melt in your mouth amazing. The one thing I'm still dreaming about is their bread. Their rolls AND sourdough bread. Honest to god, I've never had rolls as good as the ones they have at Whistlin' Jacks. Nothing even close to their rolls! I asked the waitress if they made them there and she said, "Yes. Would you like to get some to go?" "DO I?! I'll take 2 orders please." You will not be disappointed. Even the next day.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet romantic escape from the city for a weekend. -

Would have been 5 stars a week ago! The place has always been a favorite of mine and numerous family members for years. I was not happy last week when I have guests from Florida whom I always take to Whistlin' Jacks for lunch or dinner with a great view. Earlier this week, we visited and were told be had to eat in the lounge due to budget cuts. I'm sorry, but that is not acceptable with me. I can eat in a bar/lounge without driving 50 mi each way for a beautiful setting. This was a huge mistake and I hope is corrected soon. The food is good to excellent, but the view is what the original owners pushed successfully for more than 50 years. Please get your act together and sell you most prestigious asset ~ the view.

Best food in the Cascades! Located on 410 just west of Naches, the WJ is situated on the banks of the Naches River. Window seating in the restaurant provides spectacular views.
5-star menu with fabulous breakfast, lunch and dinner items including: trout, elk, huckleberry and other mountain fare. THE LODGE ROLLS ARE AMAZING--order a extra and another to go!
Family ownd and operated by the Williams family for over fifty years. My family (5-generations!!) has eaten here ever sice it opened for business in 1957.
Resauant, lodge, bar, private dining room and space for weddings. -

A great stop for Breakfast. Came down the mountain very hungry and left quite full. Big portions and excellent service. A plus is the river view from the dining room

Great place over the other side of Chinook Pass (Mt Rainier Nat Park). It is on Hwy 410. Family owned, great food, great bar. They even have a Gas station and general store, so if you are camping nearby this is a great place to know about!
I had a wonderful steak there and the aura of the place is very cool. You feel like you are somewhere back in time..... -

My husband and I stayed in the 8-room lodge (there are also cabins available), which was clean and comfortable. The room was huge and featured a large bay window/windowseat that overlooked the river beyond. The setting overall was very pleasant, with some gardens and grassy play areas along the river for guests to enjoy, as well as the beautiful trees and a hot tub.
We were less impressed with the restaurant, which was pricy and had a fairly typical menu consisting mostly of meat and seafood. The rib special was drawing a huge number of people in and that may have been better, but I don't like ribs and my husband doesn't eat pork, so who knows? My salmon and my husband's trout were both tasty enough, but nothing extraordinary, and my vegetables were terminally overcooked. The pre-dinner Caesar salad also had too much cheese and dressing for my taste, but the mashed potato side was very good - the real thing.
The service was mixed. When we arrived to check in, the desk clerks were discussing the work schedule and either didn't see us or ignored us until my husband got impatient after several minutes of polite waiting and interrupted them. They later made up for it by being extremely helpful when he had to make several business calls. (No phones in the lodge rooms.) The service in the restaurant was 100% average - neither exceptionally bad, nor exceptionally good.
Overall, I'd give the lodge a 4 or 5 and the restaurant a 2 or 3. -

This is my wife and my favorite restaurant. The beef medallions were Phenomenal, and the strawberry salad was to die for. Great Selection of Washington wines. The View is spectacular, never been to any restaurant with a better view in my life. (i've been to 35 countries in my life) The staff was very nice. I love that it is such a classy restaurant, (i went there for my Senior Prom, and my 7 year anniversary) but you can dress casual! Like I said this is our favorite restaurant!

This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I've seen. Tucked away in the mountains, on the bank of a flowing river, the scenery is absolutely gorgeous. The breakfast here is amazing, the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. Very elegant but not hoity-toity. Check out the riverside dining room if you love a great view, features a view of the rolling water as you enjoy your meal. Or if you want to warm up, take a seat in the fireside cafe and lounge, with a good sized rock fireplace always blazing for your comfort. I hear the lodge is very nice and romantic. A great place to go in the winter, it gives that cheerful holiday, everything's so cozy feeling that we all love about winter time. And in the summer, have a light breakfast, or they will even pack you a picnic lunch to take hiking with you, enjoy the food and the great out-doors at the same time.

They must have read previous cause Sunday went and Bone in Rib-eye was perfect. Menu looked revamped and wine list updated with great local Yakima Valley wines.
