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”

“A very nice small sushi belt place. Coming in right at opening (11:00-12:00) gets you the freshest feast of delicious sushi. They have two TVs, one usually playing sports and the other, anime.”

“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 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”

“As a kid I remember this place in middle school and high school and I heard it was fire from my classmates and one of those classmates happen to be related to the owners I went there once when was I was in high school always planned to go back because I didn’t get enough the first time but thank y’all for y’all’s genuine southern hospitality I love you, soul food, and seafood. Thank y’all for being the best at what y’all do”

“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!”

“I've been a wine club member here for almost a year now and I love it! I love that its quarterly and not monthly. I wanted to give a review because I recently held my bridal shower in the Lacey's event room and it was awesome! Plenty of room and the spot is super cute. Ann was awesome at helping out and answering my questions beforehand. All of my guests complimented me on the choice of venue, plus the wine is delicious!”

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

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

“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”

“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!!!”

“You get a lot of bang for your buck. The patio seating is covered by a nice awning, includes a fire pit and has games on multiple televisions. The steak and eggs plate is exactly what I want for breakfast, and this joint exceeds my expectations. The Hawks Prairie side of town is up and coming, and this place is a credit to our side of the highway. I expect to eat here quite a bit in the future. If you haven’t eaten here yet, you should!”

“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.”

“My waiter was named Kyle and he was super awesome, brought us water even though we forgot to ask, check on us consistently and offered his opinions and advice about the menu. Will be for Kyle!! I want to eat HIM next time 😂”

“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!!!!”

“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.”

“Delicious fusion burgers, unique flavors, and hearty portions. Always fresh to order. Great addition to have as a food option here.”

“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.”

“The best boba in Thurston County for sure! I got the Honeydew Slush and my fiancee got the Thai Tea and they were both fantastic. We also each got a croffle and they were the best I’ve ever had. The service was also fantastic and quick, and the atmosphere is lovely. There are board games to play and lots of seating, so I’d highly recommend it!”

“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😍”

“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. 💯🔥”

“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.”

“Ordered two Jalapeño Ranch Clubs, a Kale Salad, a Greek Yogurt Parfait, a Sunjoy, a Strawberry Hibiscus, and everything was so satisfying! I love Chick-fil-A! We used the drive-thru, and as always, the staff was polite and the service was fast.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Huge amounts of food. The mac salad was fantastic. Prices are excellent. The food is a little salty but with the plain rice it’s perfect. We got bbq beef, kalua pork and cabbage, and chicken katsu for entrees and all were great examples of quick, fresh Hawaiian food. The pork and cabbage was the clear winner. The spam musubi is one of the best I’ve had, too.”

“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.”

“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 have ordered takeout from here many times in the last few years and can't complain. High praise from other reviews are good indication of consistent quality meals they've been serving, hot and fresh everytime and its served timely.

My favorite is the Chicken Katsu and for Lunch Special get Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu combo for $13.99 (pre tax). It comes with two scoops of rice and side salad. Chicken Teriyaki is tender and has a great smoke charred flavor, sauce is not overly sweet or salty. Rice is good quality and texture, cooked perfectly.

The owner is friendly and the restaurant is kept clean. I read on other recent review that dine-in customers were served their meal in take-out containers and I can confirm that I saw a couple eating in at the restaurant today (while I was waiting for my takeout) and they were eating in takeout container as well. I know some places do this by default so I don't know if they've always done it this way, but I guess if I am eating in, I would prefer to eat my meal on a plate.

The location is in a newer plaza complex in Lacey with plenty of parking and easy to get in and out roundabouts. Great pricing too. They kept it true and consistent through thick and thin over the years!”

“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”

“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”

“I order online and I've never had to wait when I arrive. It always seems to be a fun atmosphere, lite banter and smiles. I just love at 425 Papa Murphy's.”

“The food was so good really loved it. 🤩”

“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.”

“Stopped in for some Breakfast after my homie crossed 3 lanes of traffic to pull in to this appealing grimy looking dive bar It was just what we wanted and needed! The staff, the locals, the drinks and food were all BADDASS. Added bonus: pool table with good sticks and digital jukebox!!! We will be back!

Helpful hint: They do not allow outside drinks aka REDBULLS!!😉”

“We live very close to this place and we eat here regularly. The fmcrispy fish, basil catfish, garlic goodness, curry ect. Its all been good. Everything we eat here its great, and reliably so. The staff is nice, and its a cute little place to sit and dine in. 10/10”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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!!”

“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)”

“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.”

“Baristas are nice. The owner stops by to help put away things, and it seems like he has a good rapport with his workers alway good to see. coffee is good, and they will give it to you to try it and fix it for ya if it's not to your taste.”

“The staff was very friendly and didn't hover 😊 I have always liked going to Denny's”

“The manager heather at this location is absolutely amazing”

“Stopped by the MOD Pizza on Yelm Highway for lunch today, and while the pizza was great and served up fast, the service is what really earned this five-star rating. The entire lunch crew was fantastic, but I have to give a special shout-out to Matthew. He took my order and was absolutely top-notch—super helpful, funny, and just an all-around great dude. It’s honestly hard to find genuine, high-quality customer service like that nowadays, so it was a breath of fresh air. His energy really set a positive tone for the rest of my day. This place is definitely worth checking out if you want great customer service and a good laugh. It’s not my first time here, but between the quality of the food and the excellent vibe from the staff, this will definitely be the location I visit from now on.”

“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.”

“Wow what a great experience! The customer service was outstanding 👏 Ashley the employere who had taken my order was very helpful super friendly and the food was brought out in less than 5 minutes! Nice ambiance and highly recommend 👌 stop by and ask for Ashley for a wonderful dining experience and great food!”

“Pizza ordered ahead of time and was ready when I walked in the door. Greeted by employees. We order pizza from this location twice a month. It's always a good experience.”

“The team working at 1800 hrs tonight, 2/15, was absolutely phenomenal . It was so refreshing to see smiles, jokes and good customer service, especially when it’s a busy evening on a Sunday.

I told them i wanted to leave Cold Stone with diabetes and I think I did. The chocolate truffle ice cream was phenomenal.

Thank you guys for taking such good care of us when I needed an after tournament pick me up.”

“LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The food here is amazing, very tasty! Its obvious they use quality ingredients by not only the flavor of the food but also in the way you feel after you eat here. Full & like you ingested a meal thats not only delicious but also good for you. And the atmosphere here is amazing, very friendly & family oriented, since its a Mom & Pop shop that is family owned & ran, & is definitely worth the visit everytime!”

“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!”

“Consistently a great sandwich experience. I use their Italian as the standard in which to judge other sandwich shops. Fresh bread and toppings make for a great sandwich no matter my mood that day.”

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

“Amazing and super friendly place !”

“Bar service was excellent and food was delish!”

“I went in Christmas Eve evening. There were 3 young adults working hard and very respectful. My pizzas were made right and well. The young girl wished me a Merry Christmas with a smile. I felt seen and valued.”

“Best coffee and prices and staff. The quality is constant. The prices are the best and i love this place. I live next to stir crazy and refuse to go to their over priced and rude staff. St least the drive is worth it here and I never had an bad experience”

“Sandwich was huge fresh and tasty. But just a bit of advice...it's best not to talk about pee, poo and vomit from a previous job in front of customers. It kind of affects their appetite.”

“I love all the cutters point locations I've been to, this one is by far my favorite! The staff is always so friendly and welcome, they also remember my drink order and have it ready for me the second they see my car! Thats great customer service in my opinion.”

“tried a fruit filled cookie & 3 different cupcakes. deeeeeeelicious!”

“I absolutely love coming here to buy my meats, home made salsa that they make from scratch and any ingredients I need to make for lunch/dinner. I always buy some of their imported snacks…

The cashiers are always friendly and so is the butcher.

They do charge a fee to use credit or debit. But I don’t mind supporting this small business.”

“Toto’s Teriyaki & Wok has been one of my favorite places to eat for many years. The food is consistently excellent and I’ve never had a bad experience here. It’s honestly the only teriyaki restaurant I go to in Lacey.

My go-to order is the pork teriyaki, and it’s the best I’ve had anywhere in the area. The flavor is always great and consistently the same and it’s cooked just right.

I’ve tried several other items on the menu over the years and everything has been very good. I also love their salad. I normally don’t like salad dressing at all, but their dressing is so good that I actually enjoy it.

If you’re looking for great teriyaki in Lacey, this place is definitely worth trying.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The baristas are amazing and make excellent coffee. Owner is invested in the Elite team, customers, and community. Indoor atmosphere is great for visiting, work, or to relax with that amazing coffee.”

“Love this place so good!”

“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.”

“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.”

“We came 30 minutes before closing. Nathan was so nice and helpful. Made the best quesadilla we’ve ever had, and was so helpful on suggestions. We’ve seen him before and he always just goes above and beyond. Our food turned out great. So excited to have fresh food options on this side of hawks prairie.”

“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 🫶”

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

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in Thurston County.”

“The ingredients were incredibly fresh, with vibrant flavors that really stood out in every bite!!! You can tell they use good quality ingredients, and everything tasted clean and perfectly balanced. On top of that, the employees were genuinely kind and welcoming. My go-to poke restaurant for sure!”

“I waited 2 weeks for you to get hazelnut back to just be told the very next day your out of hazelnut, toffee, and salted caramel. You didn’t change anything on your app. Didn’t have time to go to another one. Very disappointing. Clearly you have an ordering product problem. Not to mention one of your employees was very rude about it. If I wasn’t running late I would have spoken to a manager!!!!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Fantastic! Simply fantastic. The food is bomb! The only negative I would say are the prices. They're a bit expensive for a taco truck. More like sit down prices with tableside service but the food's darn good regardless”

“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”

“amazing food and service”

“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!”

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

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

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

“I stopped going to Subway because of poor service and instances of food poisoning, but I went in this location today for a little snack and the whole interaction was great. I ordered one of the $3.99 protein bites and the lady working was super nice.”

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

“omg the best china food ever❤”

“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.”

“fast walk in service. do you have Happy hour like 2 to 5pm week says”

“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.”
