“It's ALWAYS a treat to eat fish and chips from this fish truck! They are in four different Pierce County locations Tuesday-Friday 11:00 am -- 2:00 pm Tuesday -- Milton; Wednesday -- Sterino Farms (Puyallup); Thursday -- Edgewood; and Friday in Sumner. I try to schedule appointments in Puyallup on Wednesday so I can have an excuse to swing by Sterino Farms to shop for fresh produce and eat fish & chips! There is a covered eating area at Sterino Farms. Not only is the food delicious but there is a feeling of genuine hospitality. They take the time to ask how your day is going and chat for a few seconds. I rarely spend money on drinks, but I do recommend the lemonade -- it's really, really good! Edit: there is ALWAYS a line! Wait times are long. I almost always go to the Puyallup location. I've been to Sumner once and the line was reasonable. I've yet to discover the "best time" to go.“
“You feel like family in this cozy coffee shop. The food is deliciously handcrafted with care and they make sure it’s perfect for you. The pastry counter is too good to pass up. The whole experience I’d amazing. All my family and friends love going there now. In fact, I’m taking a friend there today.“
“Vegetarian options: The tapioca pudding was vegan and DELICIOUS!Kid-friendliness: Tut took both of my grandsons, and they LOVED it! We shared about 4 small plates 1st, and WOW! Then all 5 of us shared our main courses, and they melted with every bite... literally!“
“It was interesting. This place is a trailer parked in a U-Haul parking lot off Meridian headed towards Eatonville. The food was quick, and the severs were friendly. You ordered through a drive-up window. I could tell by the traffic it was a popular place. Our pastor, from California, said it was the closest to tasting like In & Out from all the other burger places he's eaten at since moving here to Washington.“
“Great fresh burgers and fries made to order. The dining room is in an old bus separate from the walk-up order window. It was clean inside with tables and a taller long counter on one side. Cool idea, but on a cold rainy day, not so much. If you go on a nice day, I absolutely recommend eating in the bus, kids seem to love it!“
“No frills spot with yummy Filipino fusion food and brunch items, plenty of free parking, and friendly service in a clean environment. We arrived for a late brunch on Sunday, and there were a few open tables. It's a deli style environment, so you order at the register, they bring the food to your table, and you bus your table. I got the Calamanci juice, which reminded me of my last visit to the Philippines (yum!) We also got the smoked brisket slider (sammie) which came with house made chips and the pandan fried chicken that came with a generous scoop of rice, Mac salad, and picked veggies. Everything was flavorful and delicious. If you're in the area, it's well worth a visit! We'll be back to try other items.“
“Such a darling little cider house! Our first time there we went for the cheese and cider flight amd are planning on going back for many more of these events they will be hosting. Service was top notch even though they were busy, indoor & outdoor seating. Very clean 10/10 would “
“Magical place. masters brewing the most delightful flavors. I bought 4 bags! but my favorite was the funny little owner who told storys as he brewed our tea and made us feel like special guests.Keep up the good work by having fun in this incredible space.“
“Wonderful atmosphere outdoors on the property of the apples. Food trucks are present and rotate between vendors. About 5-8 different ciders to drink. $6 for a 12 oz. cup of fresh cider. Sometimes they have live music but check the website for the food truck and music “
“Very welcoming, family owned and operated Kafe. Hardy helpings, comfort food, daily specials and homemade pies desserts and soups for a great price! This place is a hidden gem more people need to experience. The atmosphere is just like coming home for a get together. Great place for breakfast on the weekends.“
“I used to work across the street and would find every excuse possible to come here. Several times a week I’d get whatever delicious sandwich they were testing up, a chicken melt if I wanted to get nothing done for my day, or fall back on their classic club with some giardiniera.I’ve been away from Tacoma for almost a year and not a week goes by that I’m not thinking about the incredible sandwiches and wonderfully kind people here.Do yourself a favor and eat here.“
“Doyle's has the best breakfast/brunch menu! They also have a good variety of beers, and one of the best bourbon and whiskey selections I have ever seen.It's always busy, but worth it if you have to wait. Check the soccer schedules before you head over! The games always attracted a massive crowd. Great place to catch a game, if that's your thing!Parking: There are a limited number of parking spaces in the lot, but street parking is available and not too difficult to find on an average day.“

“Super bomb food and delicious Iced Vietnamese Coffee!I typically order a grilled pork banh mi and sometimes I'll pair it with the chicken fried rice. Super tasty! The chicken fried rice is large as well, if you're really hungry go for both, but honestly you just need one or the other (banh mi or fried rice) and it'll fill you up!I also love the Vietnamese Iced Coffee! I've been hooked every since I tried it. The quality of the coffee definitely tastes a lot better than something you'd get at another coffee stand.Highly recommend this place! Bomb food and coffee!“
“I have been to the one in Seattle, it was pretty good. So I had the same expectations for this one...the burgers were good, and so was my grilled cheese, but the fries were badly overcooked. Like really really overcooked. So I gave them three stars for that for food. I have heard this location is supposed to be the best, so I will try them once more. They did have really good milkshakes too.“

“Wonderful! I don’t eat grits, but I’ll eat the loaded shrimp and grits all day at Lizzie Lou’s too! The shrimp, crab, grits, eggs just meld together and the flavors explodes. My daughter brought back this dish to me on my birthday, my first taste of the shrimp and grits and now if I could have it every day, I would. Please don’t hesitate to go out to Lizzy Lou’s Too. You’ll love it and the service.“
“Amazing place, from the beer to the man that runs the show! He is a true artist and creates amazing and unique flavours. The place is incredible and is a place that I know I will be drinking many many beers for many many years… thanks again BILLY JACK!…. From Craig;)“
“I finally made it! I know a lot of friends who come in for the music, but I've also heard the food is really good, and it is! New Frontier Lounge looks like a little hole in the wall from the outside, but is quite cute inside. The bartender/server was very friendly and the bar is very relaxed. They had numerous beers on tap, as well as a full bar and quite an extensive menu. Initially I was going to try the black bean burger, being vegetarian, and that they make it in house. Last minute I decided to try the hummus plate. Oh my gosh! Fantastic! I actually think this may be one of the best hummus plates I've ever had. They also make the hummus. My partner got the grilled chicken sandwich with tots. He said it was delicious. It does come with Frontier sauce on it, and although he said it was pretty good, he thought he might skip that or get it on the side the next time. I tried his tots and those were delicious, as well, and I'm not even a tot fan. Definitely a great experience. Can't wait to come back and try The Greenbelt sandwich, the black bean burger, and the Greek salad. Thanks for an awesome experience.“
“Danny Richey recommended this brewery to me. Danny being the future mayor of Edgewood is a local celebrity so to speak, and a community spire of hope. The Acorn is a beacon or pulse to the areas finest people. I shared several ales with him here and I highly recommend it. Bring the kids! It's family friendly!“
“Since moving from across the US this little coffee place has become our family's favorite!! The baristas are always so nice and quick! I'm having fun tasting the different options and it's hard to choose a favorite but the caramel white mocha is definitely up there for me.Dietary restrictions: They have all sorts of dairy-free options!“
“Rented an ice cream truck for my sons first birthday. It was so fun and nostalgic to have for our family and friends. We got the most basic package and they had a lot of variety. The ice cream man was very friendly too. He pulled up and told us in a worried tone that we didn't order enough ice cream for our apartment complex (we held it at our apartment pool). We told him it's okay we just have a few friends and we already accounted for if random people were to come up and get an ice cream. So he said "okay, I won't turn on the music so I don't attract more people" and I thought that was so thoughtful of him! We ended up having extras, which he packed up for us to take home. I wanna order an ice cream truck for every event now! And it was pretty affordable too!“
“This place is AWESOME!!!! My husband’s fire department picked this place for their holiday Christmas party and it was amazing. We got an in-depth guide to their beer before we ordered and it was a truly unique establishment-from their craft to the environment. We loved it so much and will 100% make the drive from Olympia to visit again!“
“From a Puyallup local: Great tea. Great spices. Have been going here for loose leaf tea refills for years now. When I decided to quit coffee, I went here and they walked me through a ton of great options (went with Yunnan since I was a plan black coffee kinda guy). Have spoken multiple times to their owners and it’s so evident that this is their passion and they love what they do. Cannot say enough great things about this place!“
“Total 90's coffeehouse vibe with used books on a shelf, zines in a rack and groovy book covers under a plexiglass table top. All good. Even better is the coffee (superb) and the pastries (damn!) love this spot. It's super cozy and romantic and reminds me of my youth!“
“I mean this in the most positive way: This place is peak hipster. Like, encyclopedia-reference hipster. Your standard offerings plus unique espresso-alternative options. I tried the mushroom mocha with an added shot, it was very different but good. The barista--I already forgot his name sadly--but he was super friendly and authentic, nice to chat with. Great place. Great merch and local market items as well!“
“I've been a Dutch Bros fan since I found it in Western Idaho. Superior coffee, excellent service. Of course, like any location, sometimes service can be lacking. But that was not the case in Puyallup by the mall. The girl who helped us out was not only competent, but genuine. She was fast, friendly, and a joy to talk to. Will definitely be going back.“
“Always the best nursery and greenhouse in the area. Vast, superb selection of indoor and outdoor plants and gift items. I love that they will pot the plants/ shrubs for you when you buy the items there. Really knowledgeable and superb service every visit. Not the least expensive but certainly the best nursery in the South Sound.“
“This place is fire. Don't live with mom so I don't get authentic Vietnamese anymore and this is as close as you can get.Vegetarian options: Just ask them to replace all meat with tofu. Beware for the broth though as a lot is bone-broth.Dietary restrictions: I eat mainly seafood and found a good selection here for me.“
“Myself and a friend have been debating who has the best pizza in Tacoma. I've been here a few times, but just now feel compelled to make a review. This is it. This is the best pizza in town. From the crazy specials every week that make your mouth water to the regular menu which is not only unique, but delicious. The crust is as perfect as I've found anywhere in the region. Thin, but holds up to even the meatiest pizza on their menu. Perfectly charred. Perfectly crisp.I love it here. I'm going to make a point of coming here more now.“
“I finally managed to check this great little spot out. It's just a few years young, but definitely on the right track. This husband and wife team creates some fantastically delicious and refreshing ciders! The flight I sampled consisted of 4 unique selections and all were amazing! The cider list will change frequently, so drink up because your fave might be long gone the next time you visit. Given that the taproom/cidery is in a renovated warehouse, it boasts high ceilings providing an open, spacious, and airy feeling, and seating is available outdoors as well. A food truck is on-site, bring your own eats, or Door Dash it. And...they have a few local beers are on tap, if ciders aren't your thing.Leashed fur-babies are allowed to hang out here with their well-behaved owners, and this place is family-friendly, too!I will definitely return and can't wait to see what's next on their cider menu.“
“I'm a big fan of otters so when I was driving by this place while visiting Tacoma it was a no brainer! Delicious ciders as a non-beer fan, and everyone was so friendly! We took advantage of their board games and hung out for a while. Quite a fun souvenir too as I bought a shot glass!!“
“Had the chance to stop in and get a tasting of the various small batch spirits and enjoyed them all, from their bourbon and black lemon gin to the chocolate liqueur and various simple syrups and bitters! My favorite was the Apple Pie Whiskey, but very cool to hear about the crafting and history behind each bottle.“
“The food tastes delicious, but be prepared to eat any burrito without sour cream or avocado over a plate: they do not hang together enough for car eating. I got vegetarian so I didn't have any problems but the partner and kid both created showers of rice and beans all over the car.“
“Always ride by on my bicycle to and from work and can't wait to stop in. Small interactions with people while I'm passing give off great vibes! Will edit once I stop in, but while reading other reviews I bet it will stay at 5 stars! Keep it chill and keep on keepin on!“

“I love this coffee shop, their drinks are CONSISTENTLY delicious and the food options are great as well. Sometimes they run out of foods that I really like but I appreciate them not being wasteful. The staff is always so kind and enthusiastic. I go here several times a week and have yet to have a single bad experience. The atmosphere and scenery are wonderful!“
“Hi there :) I love the pricing and quality of all the menu items here! Really close to my area and I can order take out or drive by and have a quick bite inside. As a student, this is easily one of my favorite places in Kent to eat when I want a hearty and warm breakfast or meal when I'm stressed. Whoever created the Walk of Shame cooked fr fo real and the arugula salad is easily one of my favorite salads.“
“Frugals' food was exceptional, with every bite bursting with flavour and freshness. The grill masters at Frugals deserve high praise for their culinary mastery and dedication to delivering consistently delicious burgers that leave diners craving more. This was my first time. I now understand why every parent at my daughter’s dance studio gives so much praise to the flavours of their food. Indeed, Frugals is a standout destination for burger lovers everywhere. Shesssshh—deliciousness explosion.“
“This place is wonderful— especially on the patio. It’s enclosed and there are blankets on every chair. We both started with espressos and then got a 4 cup French press to share. I got the French onion soup and my friend got salmon Benedict. I would definitely come again and make sure you make a reservation.“
“Amazing food for a great price. Everything tastes authentic especially the Chapli kebab and the Kabuli pulao. The Paaye was also surprisingly good. The staff were friendly and service was decent. Would only recommend using better naan/roti. Otherwise 10/10!“
“This is really cool! When you arrive you check in at the counter and get your bracelet. Then you serve your own drinks! This means you can sample as many as you like and you don't have to commit to a drink you're unsure of. The indecisive person's dream come true! The staff were friendly and were kind in answering questions. You can sit on chairs around a coffee table or there is a table that has swings for chairs. Fun but can be hard to sit on for a long time. Next time I'm in Tacoma I want to come back here!“
“The food is fantastic! The food is fresh, intertwined with robust, savory flavors. The Masala Dosa is such a full meal, paired with fresh chutney's and complimented well with Sandbar. I have driven over 45 miles just for this meal.The atmosphere is laid back with such friendly staff. The chef is personal and really cares and values the customers experience and taste. This is a one of a kind meal and definitely worth venturing out to share in this " homemade like" experience." Thank you to the Chef and the staff for providing such a hospitable atmosphere with an incredible meal"Vegetarian options: Vegetables are fresh“
“Craft brewing seemed to have exploded over the last 10ish years and it's still hot business with little signs of slowing down. CRFT is an excellent addition to the game! They don't brew, but they do connect you to local products. 99 Bottles went out many, many years ago and CRFT is here to fill in the gap for your one stop bottle stop. There are many, many taps here with rotating beers and ciders. Overall I find it to be a little pricey when it comes to pints, but it's a great place to try a bunch of different beers. Not to mention they frequently have beers on tap that I don't really like once they're bottled. Along with the taps full of fresh, cold beer, there are cases upon cases of bottled beer to take home for later. The location is fairly easy to get in and out of and the inside is clean with several places to sit. Service is mostly "neutral," which is okay in my book. They don't sell food here, but you're welcome to bring something in. Dogs also welcome. I'm unclear about children, though I've personally never seen one in CRFT.“
“Passing through Tacoma on the way home to Vancouver. I cannot say enough good things about this spot.Healthy food, relaxing spot and Bus, who served us, could not be nicer. Had protein oats, boiled eggs and the masala chai. My son had toasted bagel and the Homer donut. My son tried my oatmeal and loved it, he almost ate it all.You must visit this spot, you will not be disappointed!!! Thanks to Bus for the wonderful service and for being so friendly. Will def stop by again.“
“This place was cute, I went with some girlfriends and the wine we had was really good. My friends got some appetizer meat plate with cold cut, nuts and fruit, and a few other things that they said were good. I had the veggie melt( I am vegan) but I didn't care for it, not the owners fault or anything just wasn't my thing. Other than that we had a great time!“
“This is an overdue review from my visit this past June 2023. I don’t drink alcohol anymore, so was glad to see they carry Athletic Brewing NA in a can. Nice atmosphere, good local drinking hole. I didn’t eat here and not sure they really serve food, but I think you can order from one of the places next door and bring it with you.“
“I love Homestead! But lately my coffees have been like this. ALL ice. I get Americanos with a bit of cream. Three sips and it's gone. I get with Americanos there's not much liquid. But add more water? I'm not sure. I just can't justify spending $5 for 3 sips of coffee.“
“This coffee spot is unique and I can taste the history of the building spill into the coffee. It’s as if the coffee itself tastes roasted with the architecture and building’s purpose in mind. Call me Puget Sound hoity-toity, but for those who order coffee everyday for decades from coffee shops, at some point one notice’s with great appreciation the subtle nuance in noted flavors altered by the experience surrounding the order - even if the same coffee beans are served at another coffee shop. It’s subtle, but there is something special about the coffee brewed here.“
“I had never heard of this bar before, I started coming when Sheri posted she was working here. I knew her from some other places so I was excited to check out something new and something close to home. We came a few times and really enjoyed the food. We came once when it was Sheri’s day off and the service was horrible. The bar had maybe 2 people, and there were 2 tables occupied. We were told we had to order at the bar. I could see the if it was busy…but why if it was so slow? We have definitely noticed a significant improvement since the previous manager left…not only more people but the people who work here just seem friendlier and the food has improved. My friends and I come often for the tacos on Tuesdays (which are so good) and we are happy to see the place so crowded and doing well!“
“We have been here several times since the place is close to where we live. My husband is used to Dutch Bros from Vancouver, WA. Over the last few years they have started expanded in the Puget Sound area and this one in Fife has some of the friendliest workers. They make good drinks and the one's with coffee don't taste burnt. As a Starbucks person, I prefer Dutch Bros. over Starbucks since most of Starbucks mocha's have a burnt coffee taste to them in recent years. Prices are comparable to Starbucks but Dutch Bros has some kid friendly options such as the smoothies my girls love.Kid-friendliness: There are smoothies and hot chocolate for kids that make this place kid friendly when you don't want to get your kids a coffee drink.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Camp Colvos Pizza, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the inviting aroma of freshly baked pizza greeted us, setting the stage for a fantastic dining experience.First and foremost, let's talk about the pizza. The pepperoni pizza we ordered was simply divine. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside yet delightfully chewy on the inside, and the generous topping of gooey cheese and savory pepperoni was a true taste sensation. Each bite was bursting with flavor, leaving us craving more.Despite the bustling atmosphere, the staff at Camp Colvos Pizza managed to provide impeccable service. Even though it was very busy, we didn't have to wait too long for our beer or our pizza. The servers were attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.The ambiance of the restaurant was also top-notch. The rustic decor and cozy seating added to the charm, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family.Overall, I highly recommend Camp Colvos Pizza to anyone craving delicious pizza in a lively and welcoming setting. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to come back and try more of their mouthwatering offerings!“
“Went at two in the afternoon with a group of six. Separate checks, the eagles didn't blink an eye! Awesome! She forgot one entree but made it right with a free dessert! Creme Brule cheesecake! Winner. Can't wait to come back and try their happy “
