I've been coming to this place for over 50 years. You will never walk away hungry or regretting anything you ordered. The service was absolutely stellar! Amanda was very attentive to any of our cuisine requests. Are coffee cups were always kept topped off. I'm a very difficult person to please, And they managed to make me feel like a king. I would recommend this place whether you're looking for just a cup of coffee, a full sit-down meal or a quick game of pool or shuffleboard. Fantastic atmosphere.

I ordered the season special--turkey dip sandwich for $24. It was worth $5. It did not live up to the menu representation, at all. My sandwich had 2 oz. of turkey, a bun and not much else. The server never returned to our table to see how our meal was. It was NOT busy; the server had 3 tables. . . . Did I mention service was horrible? Waited 13 minutes after seating to take our lunch orders. When the orders were served, we had to ask for napkins and forks/knives. My sister had a cup of coffee with no offer of refill. Server never checked with us re our meal.

McMenamins is a stand-alone enterprise when it comes to repurposing and refurbishing old and historic structures, offering everything from accomodation, food, drink, recreation, etc. The Spar Cafe is no exception, now the third McMenamins establishment we have visited. We look forward to visiting many more...

One of the best breakfast places in town! Consistently good food, friendly service, and prices comparable to other sit-down places in Olympia. As an added bonus, a very short walk from a number of great downtown attractions.

We stopped in for a quick dinner and left disappointed. Service was poor and food took nearly an hour. Wife's pizza was good, but my $20 chicken caesar salad was a handful of lettuce, 6 croutons and 4 slices of chicken on a small plate - half of what was expected. Server was forgetful and only became friendly when it was time to pay and tip.

This place was terrible, awful food, takes too long to get service, uncomfortable seats, dirty dishes. It’s not worth your time.

The spar is great. Good food. Pool is fun. Downtown classic.
This food is not delicious. The fish and chips was 0/10. Two small pieces extremely overcooked. The coleslaw was awful. You cannot serve seafood in the PNW like this! Their blue bayou salad was drenched in what looked like Oscar Meyer bacon bits. This is bottom tier ingredients. I’ve had higher quality food out of a gas station. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. Our server had the enthusiasm of Xanax and there were flies EVERYWHERE. Just a really gross experience. Will never be back.

Such a cool spot! So many places to sit and the staff were pretty friendly. The food was very good and with large portions.
