“I can’t say enough nice thing about this place to describe how amazing it is. Felt like home upon walking in. Staff was so good, attentive, friendly, and sweet. Food was so good. Wanted to try everything. Good vibes. Definitely coming back to try some lunch. Also adopting “Tie-dye Tuesday”.“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“Call me old-Fashioned, but this is exactly what I picture in my mind when I think of going out for breakfast. I'm stuck in the 70s, and like it that way. Huge plates loaded with delicious food, that comes out fast and hot, and a Bloody Mary while you wait (for a table, lol)“

“HG Bistro is a hidden gem!!
To think that for all of these years I've driven past the restaurant but never visited until just the other day. The vibe/ambiance is perfect between being casual yet classy/fancy at the same time - it was a great date night spot for my husband and I.. We even dressed up a little and did not feel overdressed! The drinks, appetizers, and meal were all so tasty and very well displayed on the plate! Both our server and the cook were very accomodating to my dietary restrications and made the perfect meal per my requests. We will definitely be returning!!! Check it out!“

“Great food, awesome service and confortable dining!“

“This is my favorite restaurant at this mall. Arwa is the owner and she always have a great smile. She is great and she makes me laugh every time I come here. Her food is 100% clean and fresh. I love the food here. I suggest everyone to come here if you haven’t had it!!“

“Absolutely wonderful place! The food is amazing and very high quality ingredients are used. I especially love their shrimp and grits, and the Wagyu steak. The service is also so friendly and welcoming. The whole lodge is beautifully decorated, and will fit all your needs. Overall this is a great place and worth the membership!“

“I have been to many Applebees restaurants between the Olympia and Seattle area and I have never felt that the food and environment was better than this one.

The food at this location almost tastes like it is a completely different restaurant inside of an Applebees building. It actually tastes more authentic then the other locations I’ve been to, especially the Alfredo!

Riley has been my server many times and she is fantastic! She’s always friendly and always making sure everyone is taken care of. The Bonney Lake location is also the cleanest environment out of most of the chain restaurants I’ve been to. I will be coming back to this location only from now on!“

“Had 🤩 Fun & Played Games ,won Tickets , Bowled, had Breakfast & Family Time!!!“

“Good breakfast. I had the full lumberjack hobo hash breakfast. Bring your appetite for this one. Mmm, good and lots of food.“

“Unique pour your own. Relax atmosphere.“

“Food was excellent. Homey vibes. Super large portions.“

“The food is great. Large portions. Well worth the price. If you are looking for really good food, Anita's America Tacos is the place to go. She is new and she doesn't have set hours yet but the plan is 11am to 7pm. Especially during the fair.?“

“Service was wonderful beginning to end. Caesar was a delight and very easy on the eyes😍. Tattoos will always get my attention 😂. Food was most definitely delicious. Big Back Activities for sure.“

“Fast service and excellent food, Philly Cheese Steak way Better than Jersey Mike's. Friendly service. I would of never known it was their if our dryer didn't break down, laundromat next door“

“At 3.9 you guys are crazy this is best in Town fresh and affordable great flavor. The portions are plentiful. Can't miss best part is they are open 24 hrs to get your fix no matter what time of day
The 5 rolled tacos Supreme or the Carne Asada fries. Only place in Town where you can get Pezole abd Menudo any day of the week. Come get some! Trust me you may have to wait a little because its made fresh but worth the wait!“

“Attentive, very personable staff despite being short staffed! We ordered breakfast, which came out quickly and piping hot. Eggs Benedict and Taco omelet were great! Great local spot to support. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It was an amazing experience when I went with my mom, dad, and little brother. It was a very positive atmosphere and the staff was very kind and helpful seeing as they would check in with me and my family to see how things were, ask if everything was okay, etc. All with a positive attitude and timely manner! I recommend this Denny’s as it is very kid-friendly, has good timely service, and is very positive all around!“

“I was there to day and a man went in to the women's bathroom with a bunch of kids in there and I called him out of the bathroom and the manger and security protected him and said I was in the wrong and that he could us the bathroom. there was a family bathroom he could have used. this dave in buster is messed up in it's believe and anyone who supports this is messed up to. there was a women who took her son in to the family bathroom and he was five. this is how it should be. no MAN SHOULDN'T GO IN TO THE GIRLS BATHROOM PERIOD. SO I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS DAVE AND BUSTER AGAIN.“

“Price can't be beat. I love the $1.50 Hot Dog and drink. I get the hot dog (without the bun for gluten free) and the ice cream. For my drink I get root beer and make my own root beer float. Where else can you get dinner and dessert for under $5? My frugal side loves this.

Dietary restrictions: Hot dog without the bun can be gluten free (be careful with cross contamination potential).“

“Delicious food, great happy hour and such a nice server“

“A new favorite when we visit our daughter in the PNW. We can drive up, order and eat in the vehicle together with her pup too! The shakes are delicious. I learned from the first time and ordered a Jr. Burger the 2nd time around. These burgers are delicious and huge! Oops! Not enough to share with the pup. Don't worry, we had fries & breaded mushrooms galore! No onion rings for dogs though, sorry. Not good for them. A lick of my Dream Sickle shake made up for it. There is picnik seating and a park just next door. Lovely hanging flower baskets and very clean and up kept. Looking forward to returning for another Wally burger next time I'm in Washington.“

“Great place to watch the games.“

“love love love this place, please come check it out if ever in auburn!!!!!!“

“I don't know. I feel like Applebee's gets a bad rap. But, especially with this location, I've never been let down. The food is good, always made well, and the consistency of quality is top notch. Also, with food prices soaring, Applebee's is somehow cheaper than fast food now. I really like Applebee's.

We always sit at the bar, and nearly always have the same bartender. She is amazing!“

“Been going to this Applebee's for many years.
Food and pricing has actually improved from the past.
We have our order wrong quite a few times I now believe it's because the music is so loud the server can't hear you very well.
Laura and Kenneth were shift managers.
Music helps the atmosphere I know but it's LOUD club music like were at a night club where people dance or something.
Kinda irritating.
It's about $80 for us to eat there.
Good food when the order is correct.
I recommend going there but I might ask the manager to take the cheesy music down a few decimals so I can talk with the family or communicate a correct order with the server.“

“We came in there on Tuesday night I ordered the crab and prawn Tower salad and I have to tell you was absolutely delicious and I was amazed at how big it actually was I would order this over and over thank you very much enjoyed my meal“

“Kristy made our experience unforgettable. The food was great and she was just wonderful! It was a great night!!“

“great local spot, went, will go again“

“Wonderful experience yesterday taking my dad who lived in NOLA for 6 years. He loved the crayfish etoufee. The rest of table was pleased with real blackened chicken salad, blackened catfish and rice, and kids burger. Best fries I've had in a long time.“

“the best cooks and waitresses ever!! they have served our large family with patience and love for years. thank you. ❤️“

“Sitting in my all time favorite place in Washington State. Sharing a Chicken Salad sandwich and chips with Hubby. As usual, this Bistro offers the best in atmospheres. Good service, friendly staff and always clean, even when busy. But most of all it is the feeling of being treated the same as if I was a regular customer. I live in Eastern Oregon and don’t get to eat here as often as I would like. I promise you will not be disappointed by giving this warm, friendly FRESH FOOD serving family friendly, lively place a go. Great coffees, drinks and food served by great people. Love this place.“

“Brisket is amazing. Kim was fantastic. Only thing is the first impression when parking is the rancid garbage smell. But other than that, this place is a core piece of the PNW that is worth stopping at.

“Started out as a new date night spot for us Pre-Covid and haven’t stopped going at least a few times a month for date night, bingo and trivia ever since! Love the cider selection! Shelby and Michael are the best 👍 🫶🏻“

“The wings are best in King County!!“

“Food was delicious and so fresh! The service was great! Just love this farm to table experience. It made for a great date night. My husband and I look forward to coming back and telling others.“

“Great place, great staff, wonderful food with good prices!!“

“We don't go to The Rock often. It's def a splurge for us. The margherita pizza is always my fav & we tried the crazy train pizza, which has a good kick to it. The house salad is huge & was nice & fresh with huge shavings of parm. The kids mac n cheese is a decent sized portion.

Alexis was an amazing server! She seated us quickly & was very attentive to our table. She asked if our child can play with some pizza dough while he waits, which is a cute gesture. We've never been offered pizza dough before. He had fun with it!

I'm sorry to see comments about the service being poor. The only qualm I would have was the noise when they were preparing for a party upstairs, but it's not enough to remove a star, especially since the server apologized for the noise.“

“Alexis is a great waitress the menu was good“
