Restaurants in Lacey

“The subs are stacked, fresh, and made with care — you can tell they don’t cut corners. The shakes are unreal… thick, flavorful, and easily some of the best around. Great vibes, super friendly staff, and fast service every time we’ve been in. You can feel the pride they take in what they’re doing, and it shows in the food. If you’re anywhere nearby and haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out. We’ll definitely be back — and often. 💯🔥”

“We love happy hour with bar tender Jared Gum 🍻& catching up with the owner Shane! Honestly all the staff is amazing & you can’t go wrong with the Steak Diablo! 😋”

“From Wisconsin and went out for a burger and a beer. This is an excellent place…everyone is so efficient and friendly AND their burgers were the absolute best!!!! We will definitely stop again on our next trip, thank you for being in Lacey WA.”

“I moved to Olympia in 2022 and began looking for good restaurants. After going to 4 Japanese I hit on Kamakura and have been returning there at least 1X/week. Great rolls, rice is perfectly executed, the Drunken Noodles with shrimp are AMAZING(every time). The staff is so kind and accommodating (makes me feel relaxed) The only thing I feel want for is more seaweed in the miso soup. This restaurant reflects everything with a touch of Japanese family tradition. The prices are fairly set and reflect the quality of food. So this is “my go to” Japanese place in Olympia”

“For our 9 year anniversary we drove up to Olympia to go to the Sushi Train and it did not disappoint! Two amazing chiefs stood in the middle of it all putting out delicious plates of sushi nonstop. We love conveyor belt sushi but hadn't found one in this area, now we know where to go! We also had a small bottle of peach sake which was dangerously good. Absolutely love the place and will come back!!”

“Food was great, staff friendly and attentive, enjoyed sitting in the sun outdoors while I enjoyed a good Kona dog in the sun.”

“The BEST mexican restaurant, we have been to many, in Thurston county.”

“We have traveled all across America, moved to another state, and all I could think of when coming back to Washington was getting to eat at the Mayan and once again enjoy a peach margarita! The staff is friendly and still known to me. Jose and Nick are the best. Thank you, thank you!”

“We went out for a simple dinner with the family.
We had yakisoba, hwe-deopbap (Korean sashimi rice bowl), and shrimp tempura — everything was so delicious! 😊”

“yes best ham steak and eggs breakfast”

“Loves trappers All you can eat bar! Always a family treat and is our favorite spot for family date night! We usually have a party of 6-8 and spend about $375 if you don't go crazy with appetizers! Great staff and my favorite dude there is Ty!!! Shot out to him for exceptional service and an impeccable sense of humor!”

“My friends and I had a tasting at Stottle and fell in love with the barrel room. So much that we hosted our Olympia Boss Society networking event there the following month! The space is beautiful, the wine is delicious, and overall everything about Stottle is a 10/10 experience! I love this hidden gem off the beaten path. Definitely worth a stop! And if you host any kind of events, their barrel room is absolutely perfect!”

“This bubble tea store is inside Pho Tai, too many kind of different drink and topping. Come check it out guys, best in town👌”

“Food was absolutely delicious, served fast and hot. Atmosphere is beautiful and staff was kind and attentive!”

“Had a great lunch! Food and service was good!”

“Make time to go to this place! Such a good find. The mead was on tap and such a good price. Also had a unique VARIETY of flavors (ex. Spicy, another had Ginger). You can also get growlers to go. Highly recommend/will be returning”

“Food is amazing. It was my first time having this place. I love the freshness of the meat and the fries. Amazing serving sizes too. The smoothies are also DELICIOUS!!!”

“Wasn’t even done eating and already planning on coming back! Wow! The Brisket Sandwich was amazing! Great service and drinks! Also wow great sides! Lots of flavors! Can’t wait to come back for more!”

“Good selection of delicious food. Clean. Friendly staff.”

“Always consistently great food, better taste for the money.”

“Best German Restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. I served in the Army for 26 years and was stationed in Germany for a total of 5 years. I’ve gone to Leave worth a number of times and eaten there too. We are lucky to have this incredible restaurant in Lacey.”

“we ordered several items from ramen to dumplings to fried rice to chicken curry katsu and everything was absolutely amazing! the best ramen I have ever had! will be coming back as a frequent diner for sure! highly recommend!!! Lastly the staff was so on point from taking our order to checking on us through out the meal! kudos to your entire staff!!!!”

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!”

“My wife and I are loyal customers because we truly enjoy the total experience each time we patronize this establishment. One might expect a primarily "take out" place to be noisy and potentially chaotic. But, Ikonic Wings is pleasantly friendly and serene while you wait for your food (if you fail to order ahead of time). There are a few tables available for those lucky few who choose to dine in. The food is delicious and freshly prepared to order (SCRUMPTIOUS)! I'm a big man but after 3 wings, I've had my fill but may eat 1 or 2 more just for taste (the wings are larger than expected and the various sauces makes you speechless-YUMMY). We order from Ikonic Wings 2-3 times a month. The owner (Kelly) is wonderful (Army vet). She appears to run her restaurant with her patrons in mind. She is open to feedback and aims to please. So, if you have feedback for her, try to be kind as she seems to want pleased customers. If anyone walks away dissatisfied, I don't know what to tell you.”

“Awesome customer service and yummy bubble teas with a great selection ❤️”

“Heart of Lacey Community. Place of heart. Make a great Americano!”

“Had a wonderful dinner here where the staff were polite and helpful. Food was very good and the dining area well lit and clean. Definitely will come back to try the Korean fried chicken as I have heard it is good. A+++”

“Had dinner here last night. Fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back.”

“I’ve been away from the area for a couple of years. I wondered in to the Tacoma downtown location today and was entirely blown away by this incredibly designed space. The menu! The employees! The vibe! Is this the most beautiful vibe I’ve ever had with my coffee!!? Yes, I think so. Goodness they couldn’t have done a better job with this place😍”

“There's such a warm energy about this place and the people here were so kind and friendly. Not only that, but my drink came out perfect. Service was great as well. If you're in the area and looking for a bubble tea spot, I highly recommend this place. Everyone else around does not compare. This is the place to go in Lacey for actual boba tea. I came by here not seeking out bubble tea but ended up parking in front of it and could not be happier that I found this place.”

“Restaurant felt very cozy and service was great. Food arrived pretty quickly. Ordered the green curry but it wasn’t my favorite. Got the 2.5 level spice, and it wasn’t as spicy as some of the other Thai restaurants in the area (I hadn’t read reviews beforehand…but just saw some other reviewers recommending to get spicier than you usually do). I can’t put my finger on it, whether it was too much coconut milk or something, but sauce didn’t taste as balanced as soon of the others I have tried in the area. But…overall my experience was decent.”

“The subs are stacked, fresh, and made with care — you can tell they don’t cut corners. The shakes are unreal… thick, flavorful, and easily some of the best around. Great vibes, super friendly staff, and fast service every time we’ve been in. You can feel the pride they take in what they’re doing, and it shows in the food. If you’re anywhere nearby and haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out. We’ll definitely be back — and often. 💯🔥”

“This place is so good BUT the wait time is so long. I ordered online and had to wait 15-20 mins past their estimated time which was already a long wait.
Their food is delicious though. If you have time to wait, this is worth it. Just don’t expect to be eating quickly.”

“You like chicken nuggets? They've got chicken nuggets! You want potato product? I can't recommend it unless you like barely cooked sometimes soggy taters.
Stick with the chicken products.”

“We have traveled all across America, moved to another state, and all I could think of when coming back to Washington was getting to eat at the Mayan and once again enjoy a peach margarita! The staff is friendly and still known to me. Jose and Nick are the best. Thank you, thank you!”

“Always consistent Yummy Food!”

“This Crumbl location is always a favorite!
The cookies are consistently great, and my daughter and I love checking out the rotating menu each week to try the fun new flavors. We’re also big fans of the new mini versions—they’re the perfect size for sampling without overdoing it. Always a treat!”

“It was our first time there and we are impressed.”

“I’ve been going to MISO ever since they first opened and this is our go to takeout place, delicious food, you get exactly what you want, always fresh, delicious, fast and friendly service.”

“There was enough food in that one plate to feed me 3 times! My only criticism might be that I could've used more sauce... but, being my first time there, I didn't know I might need more until I got home and opened the feast (and it WAS a feast).

UPDATE: As per L&L's reply, I ordered again tonight and asked for extra sauce, and these guys really hooked me up! MAHALO and aloha nui loa!!”

“The best coffee and biscuits and gravy absolutely love this place and all the baristas! I 10 out of 10 recommend!”

“Just ate at Pat’s Cafe and I’m leaving super happy. From the moment we walked in, the hostess was awesome, friendly, welcoming, and on top of everything. Our server was just as great: attentive without hovering, checked in at the right times, and kept everything moving smoothly. Service gets an easy 5 stars.

Now the food… straight-up delicious with that home-cooked flavor you hope for at a classic cafe. We tried the Cinnamon French Toast Combo and it was perfect, golden, soft inside, lightly crisp on the edges, and dusted with powdered sugar. Paired with two eggs and crispy bacon, it hit the spot.

We also had Pat’s Ultimate Breakfast, and they weren’t kidding about it being big. Loaded plate with ham, sausages, bacon, eggs, and hash browns, the kind of hearty breakfast that keeps you full and happy for hours. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and made with care.

If you want a solid, classic breakfast with great people taking care of you, Pat’s Cafe is the move. I’ll definitely be back.”

“I had teriyaki and orange chicken lunch special. Chicken was cooked well and juicy. Both had a little more sauce than I would prefer but minor nit pic. The portions are massive and you will walk out either hating yourself and your choices or with leftovers for dinner. I wouldn't go out of way to come here but if imin the area ill stop again.”

“I never leave reviews on coffee places but this place was AMAZING. I just went to get an iced white chocolate mocha and I don’t think i’ve ever had such a great coffee until now. Will definitely be my go to spot now”

“Good good ,very tasty. Staff was helpful. Will definitely visit again . You might want to at least add one handicap table for those of us who can’t sit on the short stools.”

“5 stars across the board, tried a little bit of everything here and it was all really good, the service was great and the chef was extremely polite and professional. Would definitely recommend”

“The food was yummy. That orange yogurt drink went hard.”

“If you’re in the area and you’re looking for a good cheap high-quality Thai food this is the number one place to go. I’ve been coming here for over four years now, and the prices have stayed consistently low while the service And quality food has been excellent across the years. If you live in Olympia Lacey, you’re already probably know this place. Definitely come check it out.”

“This is the best chicken I’ve ever had”

“Stopped by while passing through and was pleasantly surprised. It looked like the owner was running the place by himself, taking orders and serving food, but everything still ran smoothly. You order and pay first, then sit down, which is a little different at first, but the service was still quick and efficient.

We ordered the chicken katsu and the spicy chicken teriyaki, and both were really good. The lunch menu prices were great too. I just wish I had taken a picture of the menu!”

“Great food! We love the Papusas. Definitely recommend.”

“Best Thai food in Lacey! Can accommodate food allergies including gluten, soy, dairy and more. Good cocktails, the mango sticky rice is on the pricier side but it’s sooo good!!!”

“Your catfish basket with okra made my mom's day since she's been struggling to eat recovering. She ate every bite 🙏”

“love these baristas, they're so nice!! i usually have my pup with me when i run errands and he requires we get him a pup cup when we're out :) and the drinks are soooo tasty. usually go for a chai, dirty or otherwise, and it's def become my happy little treat after adulting. but the coffee is excellent too”

“This is a really cool local brewery with super friendly staff and a chill atmosphere. I was excited to try their non-alcoholic hop water and hard seltzer (not much of a beer drinker but my husband has tried several and enjoyed them). Both the hop water and seltzer are unflavored and you can choose between a few regular or zero sugar syrups to add in. It's great to have that choice, but the resulting flavor is a bit disappointing - it just ends up tasting like artificial flavoring. But I'm glad to have the option and of course beer is their number one product and the reason why most people visit.”

“i love this place, quick hang outs, trivia night on Thursdays, date night! it's great for all these things. and i love the staff!!”

“Every bite of Miso is the equivalent of your taste buds having a rave inside your mouth.”

“My favorite stop on my way to do errand these are super friendly and amd they never miss a punch at making you smile 😃 😊”

“very good sandwiches. but i wish they did not get rid of the fish tank☹️☹️ also good mango and watermelon boba (you should pay the extra 50¢ for boba its worth it)”

“HUGE shoutout to THE VIKING LOUNGE for hosting my birthday celebration! I cant recommend them enough! From the super amazing bartenders to staff everyone went above and beyond, kind, organized, and literally catered to all my guests the entire night. Even with a big group of about 25 people, they made us feel taken care of the whole time.If you haven’t been, I highly recommend checking them out. The service, the bar foods, the vibes, the way they treated me and my guests… 10/10. I’m so grateful for how they made my night so special. Thank you to the whole team y’all are amazing! 🙏🏽🥳🤎”

“Always a great order experience with fast friendly service and great fresh pizzas.

Parking: Usually parking right in front. If not a large adjacent parking lot is near.”

“This place it’s amazing, great service, drinks are good, the atmosphere is well we men we know right, it’s great, billie is an amazing person she always makes you feel great.”

“We have traveled all across America, moved to another state, and all I could think of when coming back to Washington was getting to eat at the Mayan and once again enjoy a peach margarita! The staff is friendly and still known to me. Jose and Nick are the best. Thank you, thank you!”

“Friendly atmosphere, genuine smiles from all of the staff. Very welcoming even when you're in a rush to get your coffee you want to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. Always leave with a smile.”

“My husband and I had a date night at 23 Kitchens and will definitely be going back! The drink options are amazing (my fave was the lavender lemon drop), the food is delicious and the cornhole/outdoor games are an added bonus. Highly recommend!”

“The best Thai food I've ever had the honor to eat. It's the reason we had them cater our wedding. They were accommodating to our food restrictions (and were creative enough to make it fabulous for all who attended), thought up, created and had us sample off-the-menu delicacies they created just for our event that I still dream about. OMG it was soooo good!!! Hospitable. CLEAN!!!! Thank you Chef Ron and beautiful and BRILLIANT Jaruwon (Jenny)!!!! Destined for success through creative, edgy, honest, fresh and amazing food? You are there!”

“Love this place, fresh flour tortillas are always delicious”

“Excellent food! Best refried beans I have ever had!”

“Meconi's is my go to. Me and my brother would eat there everyday. My Italian Sandwich was bussin!!!! The food is absolutely delicious. I give Meconis a solid 10/10. I would recommend this restaurant to all. If you haven't gotten a Meconi then you're LACKIN.... Get in there and get you a Meconi ASAP! These Sandwiches are the bomb.com....

“I’m from Fairbanks, AK where there are coffee huts everyyyywhere- and they all have Ice Rages. Husband is active duty so we’ve been all over the place the past few years. I have gone such a long time without being able to find an equivalent to the Ice Rages and low and behold- here we are in Lacey, WA and found them at Stir Krazy! I think they’re called Big Train Freezes here? We have been to Stir Krazy quite a few times and the gals are always so friendly! Highly recommend.”

“Amazing coffee and good snacks to dip in the coffee! Heavenly combination and super friendly baristas. I can't imagine expecting more in the AM, when caffeine is necessary!”

“Recently ordered a box of sandwiches from this location. I just popped in and picked up my order. Everything was clearly labeled, the sandwiches were delicious, and the staff were friendly. The online ordering process was the easiest and most straightforward out of all of the competitors. All in all a great experience and we will be back!”

“My honey brought me in for the first time.
We got what we needed and we're drooling over the fresh butchered meat selection as well as the baked goods.

We got seasoning and fresh chicharones...delicious ^_^

Definitely will return soon. Check em out!”

“I came in inconvenientally right before close with my family and William and his team were wonderfully friendly and helpful despite the time. Had some yummy crisp burritos.”

“From mine n my roommates regular HT#3. Roommate likes the bigger menu and food but #3 is alot more relaxing. the remodel is nice but it seems to have cut least a 1/3 of seating guess you needed the added kitchen space 👍. I've been coming to this location since atleast 2013. when my family would come and get unlimited sushi for birthdays had a sake bomb aswell. today (04/25/21) I had the "Bad Girl" roll extremely yummy. also had the crab rangoons which were good aswell.”

“I love this beautiful resturant, though I usually come for our P.E.O meetings, the food is delicious ( especially for me the cheese burgers, fries and salad � ) and the staff is Awesome and the singing and music is great when they have it.”

“Love this place so good!”

“The current Cake Decorator is hitting it out of the Park. Excellent Job! <3”

“Rose and McKenzie are the best! This location has the best atmosphere and staff and their drink making is super consistent compared to the other locations around town.”

“The customer service here is always the absolute best. If I can get boba here I will 100% Everytime. It was raining and I didn't have a coat he brought my drink to my car! Thank you 🫶”

“This spot is amazing if it wasn’t for Nathan, who did an excellent job at making my bowl and bringing joy to the customers I probably would not come to this establishment and have been here multiple times since they’ve opened one of the main reasons I keep coming back is the customer service Nathan provides!!!!”

“relaxing atmosphere, good food and good service wonton soup is pictured”

“Has been our go-to for poke locally, reasonable number of options (though would love to see some pickled radishes added to the menu)

Small clean shop and pleasant staff.”

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in Thurston County.”

“Let me lay it out for you! I live a bit of a distance away in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And still all I can think about is the spicy teriyaki chicken in lacey, WA?! I have actually tried to convince the owners to open a restaurant in the fabulous 505 for about 20 years now! I have literally shipped the salad dressing to myself in a half gallon jug! I can't say enough how amazing this restaurant is. I became familiar with them during my time in the United States Air Force in the early 2000s. If I were up there I'd be there everyday like I was when I lived 5 minutes away from it! Give yourself a treat and go by! I'm jealous of you already! ?”

“Food and service were outstanding, only negative was that the tables were not clean, so I took my fajita burrito, carnitas tacos and Cubana quesadilla to go-fantastic!”

“This is my favorite coffee place in Lacey!! The girls are always super nice, and remember my drink every time!! <3 love it!!”

“Clean, fun place with lots of options for all dietary needs. Patient, friendly staff with plenty of seating for all!”

“I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could. AMAZING smoothies. Healthy options, reasonable price. My kids had soccer games and didnt want to eat a meal before heading up north to play so this was the perfect thing!”

“I did a late night drop off of a car at a co-worker's house and had an hour left to get home. With a trailer, fast food was not am option, so I whipped into the parking lot near this truck about 10 minutes before 9. They were starting cleaning, so I went to turn around and they ushered me up enthusiastically. I grabbed a Carnitas Burrito Supreme and gobbled it up in the truck. Great size for the money, meat portion was awesome. The carnitas was flavorful; sweet with some good spice (weak taste budded white guy here, so take that for what it's worth). I got a little ahead of myself wharfing this thing down and destroyed a brand new Carhart shirt spilling the juices all down the front. Zero complaints and worth the price with the shirt factored in.”

“amazing food and service”

“Was good service and very nice contact person. Only thing that chapped my house, didn't have salad with their teriyaki, otherwise, my chicken teriyaki was very good”

“Cleanest MOD in the area! I love the pizza here and concept but I see other MOD be so dirty with cross contamination and not changing their gloves (one time I had to ask an employee at the Yelm highway one to change the gloves he had on at the register before making my pizza), but the staff at this one is very clean and change their gloves appropriately. So glad to have at least one MOD that I can come to!”

“Best of the Buffetts I've been to in years. Clean, food is heat hot , fresh , large selections to choose from. They have sushi that is incredible. The staff if right there at the table if you need anything. They wear masks. The are friendly yet professional. I will be back but don't take my word for it.. come experience the wonderful atmosphere that isn't like a Royla Fork.”

“This store is so good 😊 makes me smile to see a happy clean environment 😀”

“Maria made the best tuna sandwich I have had in a very long time. Every time I go to this location for lunch, they are always so nice. Maria has made my sandwiches a few times now and she hits it out of the park with quality everytime. Thank you again Maria!”

“omg the best china food ever❤”

“The staff are welcoming and friendly. The never failed to make the coffee correctly for us.”

“They have a variety of dishes and for me everything is good.”

“I couldn’t decide what to have for dinner, and am glad to stop by Pho Hoa. The brisket pho I ordered was delicious and I didn’t have to wait long compared to other restaurants around. Friendly servers and the place was very clean. Pho Hoa is Definitely my new go-to Viet restaurant in Lacey.”

“Best Starbucks in Lacey / Olympia region. My order is correct, every single time. If I go to any other Starbucks it's always over-extracted or they forget the cinnamon or it's extremely bitter. This Starbucks makes it right EVERY TIME. Friendly staff, they know me on first name basis now. Great service. I drive 20 minutes every day just to get my coffee here.”

“Lacey Applebees is by far our favorite. Stephany was the host she was so friendly and accommodating that we wanted a booth! I came in with my wife and we got the 2 for 25, such a great deal! We got 2 Caesar salads nice sized and 2 chicken parmesan fettuccine. It was so flavorful we loved it. Courtney was our server she recommended the pomegranate perfect margarita, gosh was it perfect !! Best margarita I’ve had in a long time. Service was 10/10, very fast, even thought they were busy. Had a nice conversation with Courtney she was very sweet. We finished off the evening with the cookie dough skillet dessert. Excellent! Can’t complain!!”
