“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!”

“Great food and customer service 5⭐️”

“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.”

“Very nice coffee spot tucked away near the edge of post. Better drinks than anything else on the base.

I just wish they were open on weekends. You'd see my wife and I there every Saturday morning.”

“Clean, pleasant fun servers, great food!”

“Came home to realize I was given the wrong plate. Then was charged twice.. definitely not the experience I was looking for.Correction. After stopping by again they were nice and helped out. Spicy pork belly has always been my favorite since they opened. Still hasn’t changed. Thank you for the great service!”

“I usually order salads on Wednesday because on Wednesday its $2 off salads. Love how they Jam Pack my salad. Very filling with plenty of veggies. ?Most places wont cut it for you but kim will take that time to do it.”

“Very nice to have something of quality here on North Fort. The food truck that roams around is of even higher quality as well. I'll be coming here very frequently for food, all choices are great! This really beats waiting in line at the dfac, as it's super quick as well.The downside is that there's no hot meals here, it's all cold. That doesn't bother me though, since they offer fresh vegetables and fruits alongside the chilled items.All-in-all I'm glad this location is dependable and of higher quality than other locations.”

“hip hip hooray! we finally did it! we found the BIGGEST and HUGEST starbucks of all time! i could've sworn i found the most monolithic starbucks ever about 4.7 billion years ago (big amount of time), but this one is absolutely MASSIVE.

“Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options

Kid-friendliness: Kids temp for hot drinks

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible by wheelchair”

“The steak bowl I got was actually not bad. I enjoyed the food, but the employees could be more welcoming. The food line wasn’t a mess, but it wasn’t clean neither. I’m bringing this up because it was dead. I believe that if it’s slow, you shouldn’t be tidying up.”

“Food was great and was large amount.
It is in a food court inside the PX on base
Worth coming by if you like Philly sandwich’s
They have several types
Their lemonade is amazing”

“I’d love to give a huge shout out to the team that worked today (2/4/19). Y’all made my day 😭 10/10 would recommend. It’s the little things. ❤️ Thank you for the cookie!!!!”

“Love the DEFAC here. The food is definitely 5 star Portions are sometimes small and not average like other times but it will do. I would give 5 stars but I’m only giving 4 because y’all are always LOW ON KETCHUP!!”

“Recently visited Slim Chickens and decided to try their Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal - what a delightful experience! From the first bite, it was clear that they prioritized quality and flavor. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender on the inside. The bun was fresh, and the toppings complemented the chicken wonderfully, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. The fries on the side were a great addition, being crisp and well-seasoned. Moreover, the meal was served promptly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, enhancing the overall dining experience. It's not just a meal; it's a flavor journey worth taking. Highly recommend to anyone craving a top-notch chicken sandwich!”

“Great bagels and a restaurant that has its own unique voice and is not afraid to show it! Service was friendly and fun and the food was delicious.

Only bummer was that they are so good and so popular that they were packed at 10am on a Thursday! Come with a plan for a short wait and maybe to enjoy your food on the go or wait a bit until there are spots available. I promise, it will be worth it.”

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant, hands down. The food is simply the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a lot of Thai cuisine. The warm, homey atmosphere adds to the experience, making it truly top-tier. While seating is limited, don’t let that steer you away—this place is absolutely worth a visit.”

“Took my soup loving teenager today for a little me time. So good dude. I had tortellini chicken soup and he had tomato Gorgonzola. Pricing was very reasonable. You can taste the passion that goes into this, the texture/consistency was rather runny for what I expected but packed SOOOO much flavor. Literally best soup we’ve ever had. We both loved the vibe as well. Stop in, pick up a cup, and sit by the beach with a loved one for a great lunch/dinner. You won’t regret it!”

“Great for any gelato connoisseur!!! If you enjoyed the gelato experience in Italy, you can get a taste of it here in downtown Tacoma!”

“I got the tonkatsu ramen and it was delicious. The pork belly was thick, tender and savory. The broth was rich and flavorful. Best ramen I've had in Tacoma.”

“Been following Buddy’s on IG for awhile now and I decided once Cheddar Bay biscuit waffle was back i was making the nearly 2 hour drive to try it.... and OMGosh I am so happy I did!!!! got OG chicken with it as I am Casper white (aka can't handle spice 🤣😂🤣) along with a half lemonade and half sweet tea with mango and peach it was so refreshing and helped me with the car ride home!!! I personally will be back to try other waffles and more chicken and fries is a must!!!!”

“Had a great time and they accommodated our vegan diets !”

“I normally don’t review a restaurant after one visit, but Marzano was exceptional. It’s an approachable fine dining experience. The staff was great, and definitely give the impression that they genuinely care about your visit. We took a chance on the appetizer special, and were very happy that we stepped outside our comfort zone (Traditional Venetian antipasto of marinated salt cod on squid ink polenta cakes paired with whipped ciccione crostini, sour cherries and hazelnuts). The lasagna bolognese and carbonara were absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last. I’ve never had better.”

“This restaurant has quickly become my go-to spot for fried rice in town! I’ve visited twice and tried several dishes, including pork lumpia, pineapple fried rice, crab fried rice, basil fried rice, and Penang curry with tofu. The lumpia is fresh and delicious, with a generous portion perfect for sharing. The fried rice is outstanding, reminding me of the Asian-style fried rice I crave, with the crab fried rice standing out as the best in terms of portion size, price, and flavor. The Penang curry is simple yet enjoyable.

For convenience, I recommend ordering about 20 minutes ahead and using their own website for pickup, as it avoids the steep markup on delivery platforms and often comes with larger portions. The service is excellent—they even bring the food directly to your car if you're waiting. Overall, a fantastic spot for delicious, high-quality fried rice!. Not a usual spot for convenient dine in.”

“Really enjoyed our lunch here. Sushi was very fresh and tasty. The service was excellent and we look forward to returning.

Kid-friendliness: The employees were very kind and welcoming to our 2 year old while we enjoyed a meal.”

“Great food and service. Our waitress (Sabrina) was the best. The food is better than what you can get in Italy. A must go to.”

“The food was so delicious. we were in a big group and had a taste of many things on the menu. Lucky us. Another big plus was the staff. Congenial , well versed, and real professional. Even though there was a big crowd they looked relaxed. You didn't feel rushed. A great place to enjoy delicious food.”

“I had such a great experience at Carl’s Jr! Jose A, Cody and Jose G provided amazing service — they were friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend”

“Our first visit and we had a great dining experience. Erin was our server and she provided excellent service. I believe the manager also helped serve us our food. As we were getting ready to leave we recieved a pleasant surprise of complimentary flan from the manager for our first time visit! Can't wait to come back!”
