Restaurants in Gig Harbor

“My mom and I came to Butter Chicken Indian kitchen recently, and the food was to die for! It was some of the best Indian we had had in years! Not only that, but the service was amazing; our waiters continuely anticipated our needs. Also we got Mango Lassi on the house. It was an amazing dining experience to say the least. I highly recommend eating there.”

“The Greenhouse is by far our favorite restaurant. Always excellent food and exceptional service in a setting that just makes us feel special. Today we had another wonderful family birthday lunch. So grateful to the staff who make our celebrations so special.”

“Nice place. Food is eclectic and creative. The waiter was very nice and they seem to have an efficient operation as well. We both liked it.”

“While visiting Crystal Mountain Resort (Our Guide Hailey) recommend this eatery.

Our server/bartender Abby was AWESOME!

We were able to sample a few beers each before ordering.
The recommended food and appetizers did not disappoint, and The Guinness was PERFECT!

When in Gig Harbor, we will DEFINITELY go back to see Abby at Tides Tavern.”

“The tea is amazing, the tapioca is always perfect, and I personally feel like I can taste how clean all of their tools are in the waffles and fries especially. Honorable mention for the curly fries and the sauce, which in my opinion is the BEST curly fries I've ever had.

Also, the one time I've come here and they were PACKED busy and my fries took a while, they gave me 3 free macarons to apologize which I honestly didn't feel like was necessary anyways since they were so busy the wait was expected. 10/10, I'll be here often.”

“Amazing food & service every time we go. It never disappoints.”

“We had a date night here and were absolutely impressed. The Beecher’s grilled cheese and butternut squash soup was a stand out. Both of our pasta entrees were phenomenal as well. The star of the show, though, was our dessert, which was a deconstructed PB&J. I don’t think I’ve ever had something that had such a wide variety of complementary textures. It was amazing and flavorful.”

“We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and had the all you can eat Dungeness crab and it was PERFECT!! The service was EXCELLENT and the food was SUPERB!! We will be going back!!”

“Good food, drinks and a cozy Irish Pub feeling atmosphere. Staff are friendly. They bring in good music to enhance the experience. From the traditional Irish Guy playing Pub songs, open mic night, other miscellaneous artists to SLÁINTE Irish Rock ripping it up!”

“The sushi here is always amazing- " like butter", it melts in your mouth. Wonderful tastes, which are well presented and friendly and attentive service. Thank you for your wonderful food and service! We will be back soon.”

“Absolute 10/10 BBQ spot. Great food and huge portions. The nachos are easily big enough for 2-3 people. Brisket was super tender, no sauce needed. The smoked chicken was moist and delicious. Super impressed and the service was awesome too. Highly recommended. Outstanding bang for your buck here.”

“Last night was our first dining experience at Domo Sushi, and we definitely plan to return! The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful night out.”

“Excellent dinner beautiful presented and cooked to perfection. We will be returning very soon.”

“excellent service and fantastic food”

“Love your rack of lamb are u serving it today on Easter Sunday?”

“I love Starbucks so much, Starbucks should give me a free gift card!

Dietary restrictions: There’s a sandwich that I like and it’s healthy I think it’s a tomato and mozzarella sandwich”

“Best Thai food in Town! my favorite authentic Pad Thai & Curry 😋”

“Been wanting to try this forever ! Finally did and the food and service were great 👍 definitely coming back !”

“I really enjoyed my visit! The food was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. What stood out most was the service—it was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making for an all-around great experience.”

“I ordered the banana bread French toast and it was absolutely worth it! The bacon was thick, salty, and hearty—just the way it should be. The French toast itself was dense, moist, filling, and delicious. Fair warning: it’s a rich breakfast that might leave you ready for a nap afterward, but in the best way possible. If you’re looking for a standout breakfast entrée, I highly recommend the banana bread French toast!”

“I absolutely adore this place! Not sure how, but the staff always remembers my kiddos order when we walk in. Bagels are fresh, cream cheese is delicious and staff is always professional. My only complaint is that they insist on using fresh blueberries so there’s about a 4-6 week period of time each year they make blueberry bagels and you better get there early if you want some 🤣. On the bright side, I’m not eating a blueberry bagel every day which is probably for the best. Love you guys, thanks for bringing good bagels to Gig Harbor!”

“Kimball Coffeehouse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ On 5/16/24, I visited Kimball Coffeehouse in Gig Harbor, Washington. This coffeehouse has a great history, which I’ve included a link to in the comments. Kimball Coffeehouse has live music on the weekends. The evening I arrived, they were setting up for Open Mic Night. They roast their own coffee beans. They have an extensive menu that includes Breakfasts, Smoothies, Sandwiches, Flatbread Pizzas, Salads, Soups, Snacks, and Desserts. I ordered a Spring coffee drink called Bees Knees, which is a Lavender & Honey Latte. The flavor combination was a bit too subtle for me, but it was good. Next time, I will try something else. The woman sitting next to me ordered a BLT, which looked excellent! One of the things I really like about Kimball Coffeehouse is they seem to have a lot of regulars. Coffee shops like that are hard to find.  I look forward to visiting Kimball Coffeehouse the next time I’m in town.… Highly Recommended!!!”

“Best local beer joint in town! Super fun, atmosphere, really nice employees, and a business that is deeply connected to the community. I love the shuttle, the vibe of the Beer Vault and how welcoming everyone is. Highly recommend grabbing all your friends and stopping by!”

“It’s always delicious! 😋 I would recommend Susanne’s Bakery to anyone.😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋”

“The server/bartender tonight was top notch! She was amazing at explaining every cider and options available. Gave a well round of the property and where to go and hang out. Actually one of the best services I have experienced.”

“Omg this place smells heavenly. I didn't actually eat here but every thing looks and smelled amazing! Doordash delivery brought me in here. I'm going to have to give in one of these days and treat myself to something wonderful”

“Friendly staff, best coffee and pastries. Fun place to paint.”

“we love this place they know how to make our coffees the best, there soups are super yummy. we highly recomend ravensarah for coffee 💕”

“This is by far the best BBQ in Western WA. Everything is good. Portion sizes are great and prices are reasonable. We drive an hour just to get great BBQ. We have met people who drove 3 hours to just eat the excellent BBQ. They also have vegetarian options.”

“Great breakfast and cinnamon rolls.”

“Best Pho & Rice Noodle Bowls I’ve had in a long time!”

“Wonderful frappe’s, especially peanut butter & chocolate! I wish we had a William Patrick's Coffee Inc in Minneapolis. I guess I’ll just have to come back to Gig Harbor again soon…”

“Last night's dinner was a real treat and The meatballs and the artichoke dip are my absolute favorite!!! I enjoyed a delightful salad too, Our servers were incredibly kind, it's wonderful to have a local beer option. Exceptional dining!”

“Beef teriyaki, sushi, and calamari are amazing!”

“This is for the Gig Harbor location:) The variety of doughnuts are beyond expectations. They don’t skimp on the fusion for sure! The guava filled is super sweet so if you’re looking to satisfy your craving, try this one. The owner had us try their new butter bar and hands down one of my faves now! I also got to try the cream Cheese one today and it is on my top 5! I’m extremely picky with my coffee, but he made it so perfect! Customer service is great and everyone is nice and helpful. Really happy we have Fusion in the harbor!!”

“Delicious! Pretty darn authentic. Tijuana? Maybe more Boyle Heights… But, yummy!!”

“OMG! This was the BEST ice cream I've ever had! Cookies &Cream 👌”

“Amazing pizza and The Works salad was fabulous. We will definitely go back to try the hot subs. The atmosphere was very relaxed and kicked back. The service was awesome. Highly recommend!”

“This was our first visit to Wet Coast Brewing. It's located in a small strip mall just seconds off of Hwy 16. It was a quiet weekday afternoon.Our first impression was that it was very clean and organized.The bartender Jas (sp?) had a good personality and was very welcoming and appreciative. Always a good start!Unfortunately, there were patrons with their dogs sitting inside. Dont get me wrong, I love dogs, I have three, but I don't think they belong indoors in public places. Especially restaurants, breweries, or any public place where food or beverages are served. I'll never understand why some people feel the need to take them everywhere they go!Another patron asked if he could bring his dog inside. The bartender respectfully and politely explained that they really don't normally allow pets inside.So I'll let that issue rest.I wish I could remember the name of the specific beer I had, because I really enjoyed it. It, along with a few other of their creations, are available canned in a cooler ready for people on the go.I look forward to another visit to Wet Coast.”

“Best Burgers ever!!!! I also had a Stout Milkshake 😍😍😍 So happy to find this place ❤️❤️❤️”

“It’s the Best. Hands down. Best food. I drive out from Tacoma all the time just for this tasty food. Can’t go wrong.”

“Quality is important. That's why I like Round Table Pizza in Gig Harbor. The crust, sauces and toppings are incredible. Staff is competent and friendly. Delivery is often early or right on time”

“Over the moon experience ❤️🐾”

“We LOVE El Pueblito! The Gig Harbor location has been a favorite of our family for years. The staff is always friendly and treat us like family! Seriously the best!!! We love the super nachos, macho burrito, and original chili relleno! so good.”

“The best Americano ☕️ that I have ever had, every time!! 😋”

“Great service from the guys at the tire center yesterday!😃”

“Nice place to enjoy some refreshing beverages 👍

Plenty of Brewed choices including multiple Cider options.

Please respect the 3 Pint Max? 🤦 I'm sure You'll be Fine ✌️”

“Good morning my fellow reviewing entrepreneurs,This is another local spot my daughter and I go to here in Gig Harbor. We will come in here sometimes and just get the cheese plate or a little sandwich and a drink and sit around and just talk it's a very peaceful relaxing place they have indoor and outdoor seating. And it's on the corner the inside of the strip mall so you have a nice view if you sit outside on a sunny day. Staff are always friendly and helpful in what I like about it also is it's always clean and has a very cool eclectic feeling inside. I highly recommend stopping by any Cutters point but this one particular because this one I know the best.James...”

“Excellent customer service 👍”

“Our first time ordering from Easy Thai Easy Go!! Great, flavorful food … definitely authentic taste!! Very friendly service, too!”

“Absolutely amazing food, the sliders are always a good choice but so is just about anything on the menu!!”

“Best beer & wine pub in Gig Harbor”

“For over 22 years, we've been getting pizzas at both Gig Harbor locations. They are always excellent, and we've got no complaints. Follow the easy directions and you can't go wrong.”

“Completely unexpected and unplanned stop after a weekend road trip pursuing the elusive Malachite. Saw the truck as we were about to pass and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! The burrito is ginormous, tasty & service is speedy. The surroundings for a lunch are gorgeous. Definitely recommend and we will be back!”

“Customer service was outstanding! Relaxing and fun atmosphere sitting in the sunshine listening to the pleasant Vacation vibes music. Hubby said the cod was excellent and I went with the delicious turkey sandwich on sourdough with cranberry sauce! So tasty! We will definitely eat there again the next time we are up that way.”

“great food and drinks. tonya is an awesome server!”

“Very good pad Thai chicken next time i get non spicy”

“Be sure to stop by Uptown Perk for a delicious Avocodo toast(The Full Monty). They also make a delicious Vanilla Latte! 10/10. It is located inside the Multicare building(next to Marshalls) off to the right when you walk in, Totally worth it!”

“Really nice patio seating now also on the east side during the hot afternoons on lounging patio furniture!”

“This is not a run-of-the-mill coffee shop! From sweet and savory crepes, sandwiches, soups, desserts, beverages and much more, you'll most likely find something to satisfy your palate! It's also a gift shop showcasing local arts and crafts. The staff are friendly and courteous! Did I miss anything? Probably! You'll have to stop by and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed!”

“We were waited on by Alyssa. She went the extra mile in helping us with our order with every request I had. I give her a 5++rating.
Thank you, Alyssa, for making our first visit to this Starbucks so pleasant!!
Ramona ”

“Great beer with awesome beertenders.”

“Most delicious coffee around! And the owner is an amazing lady. I would recommend to anyone in the Fox Island area. I can’t wait to go back and get my next cup.”

“Hmm, where to start... They have the best pizzas with their signature crispy wood-fired pizzas, and we aren't kidding that they are our absolute favorite pizzas in all of Washington. Next on the list are their pizza rolls. We've had good pizza rolls, but never pizza rolls like Fondi's. Pro tip: If you really want your pizza rolls to be epic, you have to dip them in Fondi's homemade gorgonzola dressing. Trust us. We even know a three-year-old who isn't a fan of pizza (yeah, we think it's crazy too), but he will devour half a plate of Fondi's pizza rolls... Their salads are the freshest salads around; you'd think they were a strictly salad restaurant with how amazing these salads are. We've tried every single salad on the menu, and if we had to pick our favorite, maybe the Insulata di mele with its fennel-candied walnuts, but then we'd feel bad for forgetting their classic Caesar's forum, which is a Caesar salad even your kids will want to eat! We may have saved the best for last, because Fondi's flatbread, which we order crispy with the fresh mozzarella, white bean dip (kind of like hummus if we had to compare it to something more well known), and their pomodoro spread (a really fresh marinara-type dip). We almost forgot our favorite dessert! The Burnt Creme, aka Creme Brulee, is incredible; it's really the best way to finish your meal, but we sometimes order the Affogato as well, it's espresso over ice cream, and it's delicious!”

“Hy lu Hee Hee ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hy Lu Hee Hee means “Good Times and Lots of Laughter.” The Hy lu Hee Hee is a Gig Harbor, WA local’s hang-out that got it start as a Tavern in 1935. In 1958, the State condemned the tavern building and asked that the business vacate the premises, so they could build a new highway to Purdy. The business was rebuilt in 1983, in a new location, by new owners, which is where it has remained ever since. I have been visiting Gig Harbor since 1990, but my first visit to the Hy Lu Hee Hee wasnt until 5/19/23, which was a Friday. Although I arrived before 9 PM, the music was LOUD! I’ve decided to do a sound check via the app SoundPrint. It averaged 83 dB and got as high as 88 dB, which is considered Very Loud. That would’ve been acceptable if I had signed up to see a live band, but it wasn’t. It was bad pre-recorded music, being played over blown speakers.  I had to shout out my order. Everyone around me was shouting too. My server told me this is the norm after 9 PM. Unless you’re already deaf, or enjoy the thought of shouting at your dining companions, I recommend you visit the Hy Lu Hee Hee earlier in the day.  I ordered one of the five house favorites on the menu, Fish + Chips ($17) - Breaded and Seasoned Wild Alaskan True Cod with Fries, House Slaw + Tartar Sauce. Compared to all the fish and chips I’ve eaten in Washington state, it was pretty standard fare. It was a generous portion of fries, and I liked the housemade tartar sauce. The coleslaw had decent flavor, but it obviously been made sometime ago and was swimming in liquid. Personally, I prefer Tides Tavern, which is another Gig Harbor local’s hang out, but I’ll be back at some point to visit the Hy lu Hee Hee. Next time, I’ll just make sure to do it earlier in the day. * I would like to share some photos of my dining experience, including a picture of my fish and chips, but that option is disabled on this page. ”

“excellent service and fantastic food”

“my husband and I will go there about few times a year. this was my father in laws favorite place to eat every Wednesday with his brother for many yrs. Yesterday(July 21st) we ate there at approximately 7pm. very nice waiter we had. my husband ordered a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. he indicated that that meat was very tough and rubbery. I tasted it and totally agreed with him. but that won't stop us from going there again. we did show up on July 16th(Sunday). had no idea you closed up so early(it was about 6pm)”

“Do not know what some people are talking about, we had the Hot and Sour soup was the best we've had in many years then the Chinese peppered Pork Chops. OMG the best I've had in 26 years. This place is inviting and the food is great.”

“Food was great. They also have a fresh salsa bar. Quite nice. Highly recommend the grilled fish tacos. Burritos are huge and the street tacos are very tasty.”

“Best teriyaki in Gig Harbor! Great service, food quality, and large portion sizes (lunch size in photo). Highly recommend to all General Tso’s Chicken lovers in the area.”

“Love Scooter! Amazing bartender and better human !”

“So many great choices! The grandkids loved the cones dipped in chocolate, with sprinkles!!”

“Delicious, healthy, friendly!”

“Always love Starbucks but this one in Gig Harbor only had only one employee working.

Parking: Inside Ferd Myers

Kid-friendliness: It's in a grocery store as friendly as you can get”

“Loved my Barista, I believe her name was…Aaralyn? She was fantastic, she helped me through the menu, offered me options and then made one of the tastiest Chai Lattes I have had. Loved the music, it was a bit repetitive.

Fast simple service, and a clean environment! Will definitely recommend.”

“OMG! I live about 10m from the store, and I DEVOURED the PBJ sandwich! Never made it home. 😋 Paired with Raspberry Vanilla Frappe, Heaven! 😇 SHOUT TO TAYLOR & ERICA, serving smiles every time I pass through! Thanks to both of yous! 😄”

“This has been my go to spot for over 4 years now. Hands down the best lattes I think I will ever have. The girls know their sh*t and the owner is by far the best!! We love buying starts and eggs whenever they have them.”

“We love their food and are very happy Carlene and Richard found the Trolley. Give them a try you will not be disappointed.”

“Ok, since the other owners sold we’ve been a little disappointed with Happy…tonight they hit it out of the park! Idk what was different but OMG, the spicy chicken teriyaki was actually a 5! My husbands nose was running and I couldn’t stop steeling it off his plate! The sweet and sour YUMMMMMM!!!! (I did have to request extra sauce but that’s ok!) Whatever it is keep it up! Will be going back very soon!”

“We love the Original Pancake House and have been eating breakfast at these establishments for more than 30 years. The one in Gig Harbor is new to us and didn't disappoint us. The service was great and the pancakes were even better. We'll definitely be back for more.”

“Order was perfect, customer service was awesome and I even shared a few laughs with the cashier. Sandwiches were exactly as ordered and delicious. We pick them up at about 9:30 ish and everything was still fresh! �”

“Thanks papa johns for supporting the community, and the Oso relief fund.”

“Yummy pita
I always take the Mediterranean pita
And know my desert it’s from pita pit also
With this amazing cannoli and chocolate mousse so delicious with the pistachios baklava always fresh and made by the owner how has a French pastries degree”

“They are known to only use the best, fresh and high quality ingredients to prepare their food. I have never had anything but excellent service from the staff. They will go out of their way, customize my meal and drink to make sure I am always pleased.”

“Everything we ordered today was really good. We're vegan, and menu was nice as well.”

“My family and I stopped in tonight to grab something quick to eat. Tonight was our first time stopping in even though we have thought about it for years…. I’m so bummed we waited this long. My two kids, my husband, and myself all agree this was the best meal we have had in a long time. Also, it was so affordable! Now a days we can’t go grab food for less than $50 and we aren’t happy. Tonight it was less than $40 and our bellies are completely full. Will definitely be back, and let everyone know how good it was. Can’t wait to come back in the summer and try their shakes with real strawberries”

“Blazing Onion\nGig Harbor\n1030880545\n\nThis has quickly become our go-to spot for a fantastic variety of food from their diverse menu. It’s a family-owned franchise, and every visit makes us feel like part of the family.\n\nThe general manager, Ashley, is thoughtful, engaging, and wonderfully affable. Her assistant manager, Carlos, mirrors that same welcoming style. Leadership clearly starts at the top, and while we haven’t met the owners, it’s obvious they take great care of their team and the staff, in turn, takes great care of the customers. There is a wonderful video on the web site that features the owners and their personal startup story.\n\nI’ve noticed some negative comments here and there, but in my experience, those are the exception, not the rule. The Gig Harbor Blazing Onion is one of the best places to be on a Friday or Saturday night. If possible, go early—it gets busy for good reason! Naturally, at a popular restaurant like this, small delays or missed details can occasionally happen. If they do, just get the attention of one of the friendly team members. Over time, we’ve gotten to know several: Chris, Devin, Quinn, Ray, Dana, and the always-effervescent Denise.\n\nThe menu has something for everyone. Yesterday, we arrived around 3:00 and chose to sit outside—it was a warm, sunny fall afternoon in the Northwest. My wife and I shared a Caesar salad and my favorite, the bone-in chicken wings. They’re usually cooked to perfection—yum! We always order them “naked” (less mess, and they provide wet towels just in case) with sauces on the side. Here, the saying is true: the sauce is the boss. I love dipping into the ranch or blue cheese, then sprinkling in some mango habanero dry rub. That little combo gets the taste buds dancing! Honestly, they should call it “Bruce’s Blend.”\n\nWe also love their fresh-squeezed grapefruit drinks; so refreshing! They’re popular, so occasionally they run out, but it’s still one of our go-to choices whenever available.\n\nIf you’re in the area, make time to stop by, relax, and enjoy a family meal. Introduce yourself, ask the staff their names and you’ll quickly see how friendly they are. Before long, you’ll feel like family too.”

“Everything we’ve had is very good. We come here regularly. Great bento selection. Very welcoming staff. Good service. We like it that they are open reasonably late.”

“The cookies were great. Chewy and crunchy like any cookie should be. So glad I got it warmed up too. So worth it. And their smoothies are a delight, so creamy and indulgent, especially their lemon bar ones. Their lotus energies are great too. Their other bakery items are great too.”

“Great concept!! Like having a sandwich made at Subway but with pizza!! Been to this location several times!! Staff is always friendly and professional!! Restaurant is clean and welcoming!! Condiments and prep items always appear fresh and well stocked!!”

“This restaurant is truly awesome. The service is fast and courteous. The food is very tasty and we were treated with excellent service. The beer was ice cold, which was a nice surprise and the steak was superb. Highly recommend it.”

“This was my first time at Subway, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect — but everything went really smoothly. I didn’t catch the name of the employee who helped me, but he was super friendly and polite. The whole experience was quick, simple, and easy — exactly what I want from a fast food place. I got a wrap, and it tasted fresh and decent. Nothing mind-blowing, but it hit the spot. Overall, my expectations were fully met.”

“Nitty gritty, laid back, red neck pub! Food is great! Order a beer and enjoy it, I love it, the food, service and atmosphere!”

“Great service - University Place Applebee’s!”

“This is my favorite Taco Time. Every time Torlecsha is working she brightens my day. She is an absolute bright light in this world. This lady deserves it all because she EARNED it. What a great example she must be to everyone around her to have such amazing customer service and care for everyone she comes into contact with. This has been my 3rd experience with her and she has made me smile bigger each time. Today I had to make it a point to ask her name and spelling because she has got it GOING ON!!!”

“I have always wondered why Starbucks only puts two shots in a venti the same as a grande. Might as well never get a venti and only get grande as I feel I am getting cheated from the espresso I love!”

“had a blast at Halftime. try the fried mushrooms... they are some of the best I've had.”

“Nick was so awesome. When asked if Menchies would be willing to support Night to Shine (Prom night for people with special needs, at the GH YMCA) He jumped on board, and provided dessert for 200 of our special guests. As the new owner, he has embraced our community with his generosity and kindness.”

“Great food everytime! Everyone is always very helpful and cheerful! Jersey Mike's is the best, hands down.”

“The service is always great, and the coffee, well, you know ‼️☕”

“A good version of the Panera formula in a nice location in Gig Harbor. Ordered food with the app and it was ready to pick up as expected. Only slight downside is restrooms not super clean and needing some plumbing repair.”
