The Steaks From The Windmill Restaurant In Washington Are So Good That The Preparation Hasn’t Changed In Almost A Century

Wenatchee is a city known mainly for its apple orchards and outdoor recreation, but not so much for its restaurant scene. That being said, there are plenty of places to have a great meal here, if you know where to look. If you prefer the experience of an old-fashioned steakhouse to anything modern or trendy, dining at The Windmill is an absolute must. This old school eatery is still going strong.

The Windmill Restaurant first opened its doors in 1931.

The restaurant still sits at its original address, 1501 N Wenatchee Ave.

The restaurant has changed ownership on several occasions over the years, but it has withstood the test of time.

And now, generations of locals have memories of enjoying meals here. The restaurant has even received international attention.

The interior is cozy, welcoming, and straight out of the 1960s.

But the vintage vibes are part of what makes this place so great.

The Windmill opens at 4:30 p.m. every day for dinner, at which time you can order, pasta, soup, salad, or signature dishes like salmon and halibut ...

... but the steaks are clearly the main attraction.

They've been perfectly prepared here for nearly 100 years. Your steak dinner comes with a dinner salad, choice of potato, and seasonal vegetables.

If you visit during the weekend, don't miss the slow-roasted prime rib.

It's one of the specialties, and they really do it right.
