We’re beyond honored to have received four “Best of the Plateau” awards as a restaurant, including first for Best American Food and Best Lunch, as well as second for Best Family Restaurant. We want to thank all of our loyal customers and congratulate Katie on her personal “Best of” award with a short feature posted below.

Katie Cunningham “Best of the Plateau” at The Mint.

Katie has been expertly guiding your dining experiences at various Enumclaw establishments for over 13 years — always handy with an honest suggestion and ready to pick up the conversation where it left off whether you last saw her yesterday or a year ago.

The people she interacts with daily are what make this job so special to her. She truly loves her customers and wants to thank each and everyone of you. She says, “my customers are why I do it. They make me laugh and make me happy, they’re the reason I still have fun everyday at work.”

Come around to The Mint during lunch Monday-Thursday and say hi to Katie, pick out one of what she says are “the best burgers in town” (or try the cheeseburger sliders, her personal favorite). If you’re thirsty, Katie’s personally quite fond of The Mint’s large and constantly rotating beer selection, so don’t hesitate to indulge in one of her recommendations or stick with what you know and strike up a conversation with one of the best in the business.
