“Just a guy from SC trying to find some good fish and chips. Homemade cheese sticks and fish n chips to die for, best cheese sticks I have ever had. No pic of cheese sticks I ate them on the ride back to the hotel. The food was still crispy and hot when I got to the room.“
“I love coming here. It’s close to home and the staff is friendly. Food is always good, definitely American diner style. But what’s with the drinks? For the past two years coming the soda and water have always tasted like chlorine. It is a deterrent and does prevent us from frequenting more often as I have to convince my partner to take a stomach ache so I can get good breakfast here. Thankful for the new option of buying bottled drink but I don’t feel great paying extra for no poison.“
“Real cool local spot within UP. My wife and I just came by for a quick drink and an appetizer. Full bar, rotating beer on tap, and decent amount selection to choose from. Can catch the game on TV as well. Very nice staff.Kid-friendliness: There's a small section at the bar closed off to kids, but the rest of the places to sit are available to families.“
“The last few weeks I have been back and back again at least 3-4 times and honestly looking forward for my next visit soon ...food is not only exceptional but honestly gourmet in a very affordable price,wine either by the bottle or glass it's absolutely divineBoth owners are very friendly and welcoming ...both restaurants are great choice but the one in the lower level is my favorite...food is beyond your expectations in both..“
“Hole in the wall appeal. Ordered bacon and eggs. Hash browns came as threads, never seen them cut so this, which made them super greasy. The eggs were cooked to order. One lady did alot of work, another spent most of the time on her phone talking about finding bar to go dancing. I had the good waitress, who brought this from a 3 to a 4.“
“A friend and I went there for the first time. The diner was ok for the theme. But we both got omelets and hash browns. We it turns out that there cooked it to let the bottom cook. Then fold it and served it so when we took a bit it was white inside and mushy. So we did not eat it. When I asked the waitress about it. She told me if I wanted it all fully cooked it had to ask to have it scatted to have it all fully cooked. As far as I know. Hash Browns needs to be fully cooked all around. So if any one goes there I recommend that you ask to have your hash browns scatted so you get it fully cooked. But at least I was able to eat the omelet. And I paid $60 for food I could not even eat and enjoy.I would recommend that they Don't serve hash browns like that and fully cooked it all.“
“This place is my new favorite place. I have been there 8 or 10 times the past few weeks and tried almost everything on the lunch menu and have only been delighted with the food every time. Its hard to pick a favorite but the Reuben is hands down the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had and others who have eaten here with me agree. I have not figured out exactly how the dynamic works here but Ivy who does most of the serving seems to have things in control im not sure if she is an owner or the chef or if the chef is the owner or what is happening on that level so I don't want to step on anyones toes but she is doing a fantastic job as the face of Spring Lake Cafe. The service is impeccable, the ambience is inviting and the food is delicious with a consistency hard to find in the new normal of society. Its refreshing to go to a place and know that it really does not matter what you order because you will enjoy it fir sure. I hope that people treat these guys well because the prices are out of a roll back time machine or something. I feel like I am getting several Michelin stars of hospitality here but I'm paying McDonald's prices. I cant say enough how good this place is. Go to the Spring Lake Cafe for lunch or you wish you had.“
“I have eaten there 3 times in the past year and each time I ask for Shawna. She is the friendliest and best waitress ever, I return every time I’m in Tacoma just to see her. Hope she is still there when I come back this spring. The steamed clams and chowder is the best!“
“I wish I would have taken photos! We ordered pickup and when we went in it was such a cool place! Such an awesome idea. We have had a hard time finding a really good burger especially since we’re super picky but after walking by it a few days ago and seeing how fun it looked I decided to try. My hubby ordered the pepper jack burger and I ordered the lamb. We were surprised how hefty it was when we took the burgers out and everything looked so fresh. The cheese was perfectly melted into the patty of the pepper jack burger and the patty’s were really good size. I was surprised how great the lamb burger was. I’ve had a few but this one was super flavorful and even a bit spicy. It is a place I’ll definitely be taking my son since the first two tables have large screens with two controllers so you can actually play different games. It is definitely a great place to try!“
“This review has been a long time coming! My husband and I have been coming here for over a year now. The food is incredible and they have several gluten-free options. The environment is relaxing, charming and there's several historical pieces to admire. The servers are quick, responsive, and kind! They are always nice to our one-year-old daughter. Bonus, they honor military discounts! Definitely worth it to give this cute little breakfast/lunch spot a try!“
“This place was excellent. The food was really good and you got a lot with your order. The service was really good, we had a larger group and the waitress got all of the orders right and even was able to remember where most of them went.It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it!“
“Always an amazing meal. Each time, I tell myself that I am going to try something different but the sliced brisket sandwich is just so amazing. The house ranch salad dressing is 100% yum. Also, one of the best loaded potato salads anywhere around.“
“Just found this gem today. Totally addicted to their glazed old fashioned donut. The service was exceptional. Family owned and SO many yummy items behind the glass. The young lady who served me was sweet and adorable. They have hot food, too. It smelled divine.“
“Stopped in for the famous fried 1/2 chicken and it is delish! Took a while but worth the wait, it's a one person bar service. They have been there since the 1800s! Full bar, small and cozy place with a small pool table. Lots of locals here.Not a favorable place for the little ones. There is no disabled access.“
“Our server Lisa M. was awesome! We had a group of 10 and she didn’t miss a beat serving us while also serving others and busting tables. Always stayed on top of our orders, drinks, and requests. Food was hot and great. Hats off also to the cooks! Great experience.“
“Got the sandwich turkey BLT with fries awesome good food good service . This is a new review . I'll just say had a bad experience and bad service, but the manager frank is awesome! He contacted me soon after my email and was so nice and helpful with the situation. Shout out to frank!!!!“
“I'm biased so I'll be simple. The atmosphere is great to enjoy a game, have a drink and eat amazing food. I love their breakfast, I'm a biscuits and gravy guy and they have the best around. I love the kraken tea it's... you should try it. Ask the burgers are great, the sides are well thought out and the entrees never fail to impress me.“
“Doing a short road to from Portland to Seattle and needed lunch- the best answer is not to get off the freeway and drive into Olympia - nope, stop here- quick on and off the freeway- the food is really good, the portions are large and well priced. It's Friday so, while the steamer clams looked great I went for the fish and chip special. Comes with a couple of pieces of fish, fries, slaw and a cup of clam chowder- all pretty great. Partner, also had a cup of chowder but, attempting to set a good example had a half salad and it was also good and a very ample portion. However he was casting an envious eye at my, probably less healthy but yummy plate. Being a more than amply serving I did share everything but the fish- nope all mine. With a good tip as yelpers always do- under $40.00- and, since it's a road trip enjoy the super clean bathrooms. An added benefit is the very short drive down the road to the Nisqually delta bird reserve. Even if you just drive in and take a short walk around the headquarters building it's a great way to get out of the car and stretch. So, a great meal and a visit to the bird reserve. Do yourself a solid, give these nice people your money - and say hello to the birds.“
“I’m back first time I listen to but my husband did very well. They have poker, black jack and other table games. Food was good we had the calamari and TSO chicken with white rice. Our bar tender Stephanie was on point and staff was welcoming. Hopefully I do better today ..“
“Anyone who avoided the New years bash because they didn't know the band missed a fantastic show. Ian & the Soul Purpose are truly a special gift to our little island. Don't skip their next show, they deserve better. Added bonus...Thomas was an extraordinary host.“
“I've been here multiple times, and the food, beer, and service are always fantastic. Definitely try the armadillo eggs- they do not disappoint!There is a bar area towards the back (adults only) and a large restaurant side that is perfect for groups and families. Both sides offer the same menu.Staff are always friendly and available to answer any questions you may have.“
“Met up with a long time friend here for lunch and cocktails.I really like the people who work here.Friendly crowd, nice pool tables, good food and drinks.One of my favorite places to have a fun time while I'm out and about.Parking: Can be tricky on busy nights.“
“Parking: There's plenty of parking in the lot for more than 20 cars.Kid-friendliness: This is a 21+ bar.Wheelchair accessibility: There's handicap parking and average height tables with movable chairs. There's handicap stalls in the bathrooms.“
“DJ/KJJoy is worth coming back for every Wednesday and Thursday. The regular kJ trained her well. With tonight being her first night as KJ, I was pleasantly surprised. I had the best time, especially considering I was going to a bar by myself for the first time in decades.. Karaoke by myself too and I felt awesome.“
“Servers were very attentive and friendly. My steak was cooked to perfection. I've been living in Washington for 20 years now and I've always held the opinion that every chef in this region only knows how to overcook steaks. It was very refreshing to get exactly what I ordered.“
“We were on I-5, hungry and wanted to try someplace new, we lucked out. Sat outside next to the big pond and had a fantastic lunch. Sort of shocked this place is not packed. (Are the golfers trying to keep this their secret). I had the French dip which was the best we have had in years including fantastic steak fries! Hubby had the Buffalo Chicken salad it is huge, spicy and good! We will be coming back“
