“Clean, pleasant fun servers, great food!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Party of 4 for my nephews birthday party. Zach was our server who had amazing presence and really knew what he was up to! Bravo to Zach. The new menu did not disappoint. 10 out of 10 - 100% recommend. We'll be back. Beignets for dessert - cherry on top of a lovely evening.“

“I just wanted to acknowledge bartender Rebeka who always goes out of the way to be kind too everyone and always knows my drink. always flawless, gorgeous, and funny. Also the Lamb burger and ceaser combo is exceptional. Keep it up Coopers! Hiring manager my hats off for the service and food.“

“Southwest benedict is awesome! They also have great lunch.“

“I understand the negative reviews. Political opinions should stay private. But a business is personal so ignore what offends you. I had a nice time. This is one of those places mindset and company matter more than the wow factor due to the atmosphere. I travel to many states and eat in many places, this was cozy, food was homie, coffee was great, server was kind, and the decorations of old cars are appreciated. A great spot for a quick bite on road trips.“

“It's a secret why I recommend them.“

“We have loved this building for now four generations of our family coming here. The current proprietor makes delicious food and pours her heart and skills into every scratch recipe. Today, we were well taken care of as we celebrated my mom’s 75th birthday in their outdoor dining space. Everyone loved their food, enjoyed friendly & attentive service, and enjoyed many “memory lane” conversations about coming to The Bair (and Mom working part-time here back in the day). Nostalgic, special, fabulous food, and great people. Thank you to Sara and her fantastic team!“

“The food was very tasty in a clean non pretentious atmosphere. I would definitely go there again“

“The staff seemed friendly enough, the wait for the food was over a half hour long, even though it seemed a few tables stayed open. The food was good enough and had sizable portions but was definitely on the pricey side.“

“Ordered the Tower Platter and it was excellent - everything was fried so perfectly and was delicious. Was enjoyed by all in our group even the baby. Can't go wrong with ordering food from the restaurant.“

“Our waitress Ona did such a fabulous job like we can’t even put into words how amazing and wonderful she was!! Her service is so beyond phenomenal that all waitresses service should be trained by her! She basically read our minds of what we needed on top of dealing with all tables and giving them amazing service. I was watching how she did it so smoothly but she’s just a diamond in the dozen! We did not need to ask her for anything that’s how well she was! We definitely will be back to see her!“

“Just went there for the first time and we were super impressed with how fast our food came out! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, normally places have way too much eggs in them but not here! Perfect! Great coffee too. Our waitress was super kind and cool as well!

We will definitely be coming back.

Edit: I forgot to mention, bring cash to pay and your meal will be cheaper!“

“Well, it’s Friday night in Tacoma, which is about the time the week lets go of your collar and you realize you’ve survived another five days of God's green earth. The sun is setting over the Sound; the parking lot is filling up with folks who’ve decided that cooking supper is an optional hobby for another day.

I was sitting there at a high-top table with three of my coworkers—good people, salt of the earth, the kind of folks who know how to work hard and aren’t afraid to talk about it over a beer. We had ourselves a perch where we could swivel our heads just enough to keep one eye on the NFL game and the other on the Seattle Mariners, hoping against hope that tonight’s the night things finally break our way.

Now, some folks from out of town might look at a chain restaurant and think it’s all mass-produced and predictable, like a box of saltines from the bottom of the pantry. But those folks haven’t met Kamie.

Kamie was our waitress, and let me tell you, she is the sort of person who could walk into a church basement during an argument over the annual bazaar and leave everyone feeling like they’d just won a blue ribbon for their winter squash. She has that cheerful, unflappable grace you only find in people who possess bottomless patience and have spent a good long while dealing with the public. She carried our orders with the easy poise of a choir director stepping up to the piano, and she didn't bat an eye when four of us showed up looking for a good meal and a beverage after a long week on the docks.

I ordered the riblet meal—tender little morsels of pork bathed in sweet and spicey barbecue sauce that’s sweet with just enough heat to remind you you’re alive—alongside a cold, frosty draft of beer that had beads of condensation running down the glass like a cold morning on open water. The food was good, solid, honest nourishment that didn't put on airs.

But the service? Well, the service was, as they say, WOW! Kamie brought the plates out with a smile that could melt the frost off a windshield, kept our glasses from going empty while we hashed out the events of the work week, and made you feel like you were the only table in the whole place, even though the room was humming right along with the weekend crowd.

It was a fine Friday night in Tacoma, good company, good food, and a reminder that grace can show up just about anywhere—even under the amber glow of an Applebee's neon sign. Five stars, without a doubt.“

“great food service coffee“

“Modern design, small town diner vibe. Friends and I stopped by for desert, and both the Lava Cake and Pineapple Upside-down were life altering delights of immense taste bud, interconnected neurological pleasure.Food is food, some is great, others not so much. This? Pure pleasure starting from atop your tongue, flowing through your esophagus, and into your soul. Definitely recommend stopping! Im sure the food was just as good!“

“Breakfast is my favorite -- and Moon Rise Cafe served an exceptional eggs Benedict! Do yourself a favor and take your favorite person here if you want to look like a genius. 🩷“

“Convenient spot to grab a bite without leaving the building, which is really the main appeal here. The food was straightforward and satisfying — exactly what you want from a deli stop without any pretense. Portions were generous and it came together quickly, which is appreciated when you just want to eat and get back to it. A practical option that gets the job done.“

“The BEST food in Washington. Honestly was not expecting it to be as good as it was, if I didn't currently live across the country from them I would be there for all my meals!“

“Great place to bowl! I’ve been coming here my entire life!“

“My boyfriend and I ate here twice while staying at the La Quinta about a week ago and the server/bartender was awesome. The food was good and she made a really strong Lemon Drop! The bartender also made us drinks to go so we could take them back to our room, which I thought was pretty cool. Would definitely stay and eat here again!“

“I finally made it to Spanky's. I had a Bleu cheese double burger. It was the best burger I've had in awhile. The staff was polite and friendly. I will be back Thank You.“

“Best date night spot. Love the nachos. Wife likes the THD pomegranate tequila drink. Definitely a cozy and warming atmosphere. Will def be here again. Thank you Thirsty Hound!“

“I took my wife to hops and drops for a surprise birthday party and the service was the best I have ever had! I would like to thank ALL the staff that made her day so special, and a special thanks to our server Amanda!!! absolutely amazing people, drinks and food!! Highly recommend“

“An unassuming store with delicious food!
We ordered the 2/3lb mushroom burger, onion rings and strawberry milkshake. The burger patties were juicy and well-seasoned. I loved the fresh veggies and fragrant mushrooms. Onion rings were freshly fried and didn’t leave a greasy feeling and the strawberry milkshake was creamy with nice strawberry chunks. The lady at the store was also warm and friendly. So happy with this find!“
