There are a number of chain restaurants around but here are some “off the beaten path” recommendations:
- Red Mountain Trails — We serve lunch on our wine tasting tours. Reserve here!
- Tacos Garcia Taco Truck — West Richland. The best taco truck around, and I love their ceviche.
- The Wild Boar Grill — Benton City. This is a new and very welcome addition to the area. I’m a big fan of their pig wings and homemade potato chips!
