“Great food and customer service 5⭐️”

“Clean, pleasant fun servers, great food!”

“I’ve been to Jabogs Food Truck so many times over the years. He’s the real deal, can’t say enough great things. Authentic food and phenomenal service. His food is a must try if you’ve got the chance!”

“The store manager allowed us to order 10 mins before opening because my little guy only wanted Arby’s. She was so kind and helpful!! Kudos to her and her customer service.”

“A good sushi choice if you’re craving a quick bite and need a fast meal. I was a little disappointed that the chef’s choice sushi was all imitation crab (was hoping for primarily tuna or salmon in at least one of the rolls), but I still devoured the whole package.”

“This place is catered towards Longshoreman and truckers. What does that mean? 24/7 HOT FOOD! That also means that it's a little off the beaten path. Strangely enough, Tacoma doesn't have many 24/7 joints, so this place is an absolute gem!”

“Great selection of delicious Greek food. Service was good. Restaurant was clean and comfortable.”

“We’ve picked up orders from this place a few times, and there have never been any issues. I really like their French onion soup, tomato soup, and cranberry walnut chicken salad sandwich.”

“Never had them mess up any of my orders and I’ve eaten here quite a bit since they opened. Staff is always friendly, the orders are occasionally later than the advertised time on the app but that’s to be expected when you get swarmed with 100 hungry troops.”

“Good food, 15 different salad toppings, lots of drink options, two main options in addition to the pizza and burger grill at lunch. Came by on business, did not disappoint. Yes they take card and cash!”

“I’ve been seeing a lot of things about how they are rude, but my experience was overall good, they ask questions and they get the job done! I liked it even though people say “Don’t recommend” honestly they all just got a power trip lol”

“As someone frequently TDY to JBLM, Slim Chickens has become my go-to lunch spot — and for good reason. It’s consistently quick, clean, and satisfying. The tenders are hot and crispy, the wings pack legit flavor, and the dipping sauces actually feel curated, not generic. Add fries, toast, and a blue raspberry poweraide drink, and you’ve got a combo that just hits right — every time.

Even during the lunchtime rush, service stays efficient and the seating stays open. It’s the kind of place that understands soldiers and travelers want comfort food without the wait or fuss. Slim Chickens nails it.”

“Oh my gawwwwd this is delicious! Fresh, flavorful, quality, oh my goodness! So much flavor and the chocolate chips in the waffles are amazing”

“Bloom Thai offers excellent service with very welcoming staff. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and portions were generous, with staff thoughtfully helping us order the right quantity. We tried the coconut shrimp, drunken noodles, thai fried rice, pad Thai noodles, fresh coconut juice/water, thai iced tea, crispy fried chicken. We were a large group and it was a Sunday afternoon and indoor space was limited, but they kindly arranged outdoor seating for us. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely visit again!”

“We got there 8 mins before opening and there was already a line of people out the door. That being said, line still went by fast. Employees were kind and helpful.
I’ve heard some people say that the bagels were tougher than they expected but we had the opposite. Our bagels were the perfect texture and were hot. I ordered the Hot To Go with Rosemary Salt bagel and my husband ordered a Plain Bagel with Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese. Both bagels were insanely good. They do not skimp on the filling.
If we lived in WA this would definitely be a regular spot for us. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back again next time we visit.”

“This place is AMAZING! The food is SOOO darn good, every single time. The staff is great, atmosphere is great. Cannot recommend this place ENOUGH!”

“I love coming to Kizuki almost every week. the food never disappoint and its delicious.”

“10/10 I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. The food is so good, they take care of their smoked meats. The restaurant and bar is so amazing. Incredible atmosphere that you can escape into with incredible tiki and incredible respect to the pacific islands. This is our new favorite restaurant!”

“What a great find! We live in CA but visit relatives frequently. I'm not sure how we've never come across this place before!

Parkway Tavern checks all the boxes — great beer selection, delicious food, good music, and a really cool neighborhood atmosphere. It's tucked right into the middle of a residential neighborhood and feels like a true local spot.

The French dip was excellent. The roast beef was perfectly grilled, flavorful and tender, and the sandwich was really well done.

Bonus - the bathrooms were super clean!

Great food, great beer, ambiance, location and music. Definitely worth going a few miles out of your way!”

“This is a very trendy and popular breakfast place. There was a line the whole time we dined in so be sure to come early! I tried the agua fresca watermelon drink, avocado toast, and latke hashbrown. The hashbrown was a bit salty but was still super yummy with the dipping sauces. The I had a cheese biscuit as the base to my avocado toast and it was really good! Everyone in my party enjoyed their food. The 70s interior was fun and definitely made for a 21 or older crowd.”

“Absolutely adorable hole in the wall soup spot! Excellent service, incredibly friendly and helpful. They offer free samples of all of there soups! They have lots of vegetarian and vegan options as well. Today was my first time there and I will absolutely become a regular! *they are cash or check only, just a heads up!*”

“The owner is an absolute gem and the food is always on fire! This place is a community cornerstone, and should be cherished!”

“Searching for Thai food near me. oh my best thai since I was in Thailand! Family is so kind!!”

“Great food, must try the bourbon waffles and the bread puddin”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Our Favorite Spot on the Trip! We stopped in during a girls' trip and fell in love with the vibe. It's fun, cozy, and full of good energy—the kind of place that makes you want to stay a while. The owners were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel like we were right at home. Every single dish we tried was bursting with flavor—absolutely exquisite. And the drinks? So unique and delicious, you’ll want to try them all. From start to finish, the service was fantastic. This was hands down our favorite place on the trip. If you're in town, do yourself a favor and don’t miss this spot. Sooo good”
