This is an amazing spot especially if you into old school and classic cars. Tons of memorabilia..place is covered in it! Huge parking lot with great service and menu. Old school diner feel. A bit off the beaten path but worth it for sure!

What started as just a quick stop for food on a long journey, ended as perhaps one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Starting with the decor. Being a car guy, it was so awesome and cool to see all the vintage signs and items all over. Even more, despite all the vintage and antique items, the floors, walls, and tables were still clean and well maintained, with no "antique store" smell. The food was delicious. When I go to diners like these, I tend to get a standard cheeseburger. A good baseline benchmark. The burger was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked and full of that savory ground beef flavor. Juicy and moist, but not dripping with grease. The perfectly balanced fat ratio. The burger was constructed with perfect portions as well, that I was able to eat from t

The Red Horse Diner is a must stop on your way to or from Seattle on I-90. The food is great diner food, good meat and veggies are used! The drinks are solid (careful if your driving lol), service is decent (they never smile and seem to be going thru the motion, but they stay busy and provide on time service). The atmosphere is killer and the real must season to see and experience while you have a great meal.

What a cool little burger joint. I stopped here on my way to Seattle and got a burger and fries. Beef on the burger is very delicious, and from what I understand, locally sourced from Yakima! It was very flavorful, and the portion of steak fries was very generous. Good food, interesting history, and a very friendly staff. I'll try to come back!

Went in for an early dinner on a weekday. Seated immediately and order taken quickly. Our food didn’t take very long to come out and was delicious! I had a trooper burger and it was tasty and fries were great. The whole establishment is well decorated with nostalgic automotive memorabilia. I own a ‘57 Chevy so it was very cool to come here. Wait staff were attentive and friendly! I highly recommend!
