Restaurants in Shelton

“Absolutely amazing!! 200% must try. The kraken dog & the peanut butter one were straight flavortown!!! I can’t wait to try to the Mac.”

“Very pleasantly surprised by Tham Authentic Thai. We had a very peaceful meal attended to by friendly staff. We’ll be back.”

“I was excited to try a local food place and wanted something special for my birthday. First the guy taking orders outside seemed a bit grumpy. He kept saying he couldn't hear me from the passenger seat and I talk loud. He left to the next customer before I could tell him I wanted ranch. We got our food and shakes and the shake was good. But my onion rings were over done. The ranch was vinegary and unappealing. Even tho the rings were over done they were alright. Then I opened up my fish sandwich. I took a couple bites and it was pretty good at first and then I thought "this tastes funny." But I was so hungry I ate it anyways. My friend was about halfway through hers when she remarked... this tastes funny and I said yeah... it did. She thought it was her. I decided to call the restaurant and tell them and they asked me to bring it back so after we finished shopping I did. The owner came to the counter he seemed nice but also mad. Then he starts telling me he sees nothing wrong with the sandwich. I told him but it tasted fun. He asked like what and I said wet dog. It really did. I'm sorry but it did. I wasn't trying to offend him. But it wasn't right. He refunded my money but then I got home and gave the burger I got for my other friend to them and they were also not happy with the quality. I was so excited because I'd heard good things about this place and like I said this was my birthday dinner. I'm so disappointed. I hate to leave a review like this but it was weird that the owner wanted to argue about the quality of his food and seemed upset with the customer for not liking it.”

“My hubby and I recently visited for a date night and we were incredibly happy with the experience! Our server was wonderful, I believe her name was Candy, she was so kind and attentive. The food was great too! Definitely recommend the Wilde Onion and the Teriyaki Steak Bites!! The atmosphere was really unique and fun! Very happy to have this restaurant as another great local option! We definitely will be returning!”

“Best food and service great prices”

“Her food is hot and fresh . So delicious. The price is good and service is quick.”

“So much variety! Everything is so fresh!”

“Shout out to Railroad Tap Station for going above and beyond! While in Shelton for the art walk today, we stopped for lunch and the staff was awesome at working with me and my extremely limited diet allowances. I can’t have tomato products or cheese, and they found a way to make me a yummy pizza. (And I have really missed pizza!) Thanks, and we’ll be back. 🍕”

“Heading to Olympia from Port Orchard and was hungry, and I found El Vagon on Google Maps. I haven’t eaten this good of Mexican food since moving here from the SF Bay Area. Would I be willing to drive 45 minutes to eat here again? You can count on it.”

“Stopped for lunch and was quite surprised as to the quality of our lunch! Blue burger, club and turkey wrap, service was good and everyone super friendly… very enjoyable”

“always a friendly place for company breakfasts. Great atmosphere, great food and prices”

“Friendly staff, food is hot & tasty!”

“I usually visit this Papa Murphy’s once or twice a month, depending on my schedule, and my experiences are almost always excellent. The customer service here is usually one of the reasons I keep coming back. During the school year, the adult gentleman who often works there is always friendly, welcoming, and provides excellent service.
My most recent visit, however, was very different. I was having trouble placing an online order because the website wouldn’t let me check out with my debit card and kept saying a required field was missing, even though everything was filled out. I also had a promotional code that had been texted to me, so I went into the store hoping someone could help.

The employee helping me didn’t greet me and wasn’t very friendly. She seemed to have an attitude when I explained what was happening. She told me the promo code was for online orders only, which I understood, but my reason for coming into the store was because the website wasn’t allowing me to complete the order online. She went to ask the manager, but I was in the store for about 20 minutes while the manager was apparently in the restroom the entire time. I eventually got the online order to go through on my own.

I understand that summer often means hiring high school students, and everyone has to start somewhere. My concern isn’t their age, it’s the level of customer service. A few weeks before this visit, I was helped by another young employee whose name started with “M” (dirty blonde hair) in highschool as well, and she was fantastic. She was kind, welcoming, and exactly the type of employee you hope to interact with when visiting a business.

I’m leaving 4 stars because I know the general customer service of this location is always 5 stars but that one experience was totally off.”

“Sweet Jesus Mother Mary Joseph is their pizza delicious. And salads. And pasta. And breadsticks. And ranch. What ISN'T good from here. Every pizza is crispy, loaded with toppings and INCREDIBLE. Do not hesitate coming here. Have been getting their pizzas since I was a little kid and they have never let me down, best pizza in the world!”

“Have been going here since Sisters owned it , glad CJ kept a lot of menus items.Great food and good service, only one bad experience in four years, keep going back and you should try the Rueben!!”

“Always delicious variety of treats!”

“Stopped by here on our way to a hike for a quick bite for breakfast. Got a couple scrambles. Food was really good, gentleman running the counter was super nice & helpful, amazing service. Would stop by again!”

“I met with someone today who wanted to learn about spinning on a spinning wheel I had for sale. I had never been to this shop, but we wanted to meet halfway between us, preferably at a locally owned coffee shop. We had a wonderful time, and the coffee was wonderful! And best of all, I found out after we were finished there are gluten-free treats!! I made a new friend today, and we hope to meet once a month. We would love to make this little shop a regular meeting point.”

“Steph's makes or***ms in delectable, decadent, delicious drinks that will leave you satisfied and begging for another round. She and her crew are well versed in the caffinated concoction craft. They delight the pallet with powerful, potent potions, bringing customers back for decades. Hail the Queen of Caffeine!!!”

“I was a barista for a long time and am kind of picky about where I go. It has to have a combination of good vibes, down to earth staff and good coffee. Java 101 has surpassed my expectations countless times. I stop pretty regularly now on my commute with my son and April is there every morning greeting not just me, but my almost 3 year old with kindness and a smile. She remembers his muffin order and makes my coffee just how I like it. When you work food service it can be hard to have a good attitude sometimes, but this stand and Aprils attitude have become an integral part of our morning routine. This tired mamma thanks you!!”

“I was out with a friend headed to a distant hiking spot, I can't remember the name but we parked near a salmon hatchery and drove in together. He knew I loved ice cream and wanted to take me to a spot he knew. I was expecting cones and got quarts instead! Joel, I think is his name, is the son of the owner. He's a great guy! Gave us a 2-3 samplers to try out. Their Spumoni is amazing! I settled on Butterscotch Brownie and my friend got the Toasted coconut. Great ice cream, fresh from the factory. Try them out! Ice cream is a perfect treat post-hike”

“Fresh high quality food with friendly service. I have not been disappointed with any thing I've ordered. Try the sasquash omelet or seafood salad”

“Vegetarian options: I always order the 20 oz chocolate shake with ice cream and a few shots of coffee and it's my go-to place

Parking: All the girls that work there are wonderful, including the owner and her granddaughter...”

“This bakery is delicious, and the people working are always so friendly. You can tell the people here are grateful for your business while also providing top-tier baked goods.”

“I like the limited menu, seems to keep prices down and makes for easy choices. Their french fries are yummy and different from the ones served in the casino (which are also tasty.)

Quick service and lots of seating options.

Soup is from a bag, so keep that in mind.

Kid-friendliness: They will be able to find something to eat, but the menu isn't catered to kiddos.

Wheelchair accessibility: Whole place is flat. No auto doors for the front or the restrooms. Lots of seating options.”

“Amanda is the best barista!”

“so good wife and I got the Cali burrito and birria fries everything is delicious”

“Love the place, the owner, and the staff.”

“Been going to Wake Up for the last 11 years, and get pretty consistently great iced coffees! La Vay is ALWAYS pouring smooth shots, go check her and the rest of the team out!”

“You can't go wrong with breakfast, lunch, or dinner here. Their prices are super reasonable compared to other places. $15 corned beef hash breakfast and a $7 Mary? Yes, please! The view of the lake is an added bonus. In the summer, stop by to sit outside lakeside with your meal.”

“Man, what not to say about this place. Food is amazing and man do they give you a lot. Not a bad thing at all obviously, but maybe bring it back a touch. Other than that, flavor is top notch and selection of dishes is really high up there. The sushi burrito was awesome from what my brother said and my poke bowl was one of the best I've ever had. They had some good Japanese beers to choose from as well, very tasty to go with the food. HIGHLY recommend visiting this place for a lunch / dinner!”

“My drivers and I love eating here. Get the cheeseburger egg rolls 10/10”

“My absolute favorite coffee stand my husband and i go here daily and everyone knows our drinks! We love all the people that work here super friendly and delicious”

“The casino's fast food place. It still took over 30 minutes to get a rueben and tots. The rueben was very good. Tots are always good. For a Saturday dinner time, I thought it was a little slower getting food out. However, it was still faster than the one hour wait list at.the other casino restaurant.”

“1 chocolate cherry latte and 1 Americano. Both drinks were flavorful. I did find it a bit discerning when I went to pay with 1 dollar coins the Barnstable said they didn't accept 1 dollar coins because there's no place for them in the register. Then she said that she wasn't sure that the bank would even accept them. I think they are still legal tender. Just think what she would have said if I had a couple of 2 dollar bills.”

“Food, service, atmosphere; ALL TOP NOTCH! I love this pizza! The crust has that charred taste and it's always super cheesy. The staff is so nice and it's always clean and fresh feeling. Great spot to grab a quick slice or a whole Za.”

“Very friendly ,upbeat ,Hands down to Great Coffee !”

“I asked for a super sweet, blended, caramely, coffee with a shot of Kaluha and I wish I would've got the lady's name that made it and exactly how she made it because it was by far the best drink I've ever had in my life. So much so that I've considered driving all the way there just for a coffee.”

“I can't believe it took me so long to go in here! Food was absolutely fantastic, the place was very clean, prices great and the staff was helpful and fast. Can't wait to go back and try more of this goodness!

Last time we went was in March of 2025. The beans were really bland. And I'm going to say a hard pass on the fajitas there.”

“authentic and the best in shelton wa”

“I had dinner here last night, it was super busy and the staff was working their butts off, they were polite, stayed calm under pressure and the food was tasty! I think we’re lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in our area. I could complain about the time it took to place my order and get my bill but I wasn’t in a hurry and I could see they were slammed and I understood that walking in. Great job to the people working! Thank you for a terrific dinner!”

“Really good Cheese Steak and fries. I grew up in Philadelphia and this will do. I enjoyed it. The ladies that cooked my food were nice and so were the other ladies as well. I’d come back.”

“so good wife and I got the Cali burrito and birria fries everything is delicious”

“Had chicken teriyaki lunch special with Gyoza. Was grilled and very good. I was pleasantly surprised. The lunch included a salad and 2 scoops of rice along with the chicken and 3 gyoza. Only thing I would day wasbthe gyoza dipping sauce was a little bland, but nothing soy sauce won't help. Good deal for the price.”

“Para mí, los mejores de toda la troncal: 10/10 100% recomendado”

“The food is always fresh and delicious and the waitstaff are friendly and professional. I always feel at home here, and always have more than enough to eat.”

“Great service and great food.”

“I just wanted to say what an absolute rockstar of an employee you have working here. I believe her name is Kayla? I dont know why my sandwich always tastes better when she makes it but it does. I always get the same sub and she just asks if I want my usual and she nails it everytime. Her attention to detail, customer service and overall great attitude is why I keep coming back here.”

“Good menu and drinks. Good service.

Vegetarian options: Chinese, Japanese, Korean and American dishes and beer and wines.

Kid-friendliness: Children welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“I was there with someone who had sensory troubles with the music. I asked the bartender to turn the music down a bit and she did without judgement or inconvenience. The staff down there are always so friendly and attentive. Always recommend them for a good meal :)”

“Thank you Starbucks, for my birthday drink--it was delicious! I ordered a Iced Hazelnut Oat Shaken Espresso, it was a so yummy with the perfect balance of sweetness, espresso and flavor!”

“Coffee place open 24 hours! They don't take cash but will put cash on a gift card for you to use I was told. They get 4 stars instead of 5 because they don't carry salted caramel.”

“Just wanted to give a shout out to Dairy Queen in Shelton. Their lobby was closed and we had a trailer so we couln't fit in the drive thru. They did not turn us away and let us place our order walking through. I have had to do this a few time in the past and was turned away from places in Tumwater (McDonalds and Taco Bell). Farm girls gotta eat too and majority of drive thru's are not big enough for trailers. Thank you so much for seeing our dilema and welcoming us. My dollars will definately be spent at your business and other places could use taking a page out of your book!”

“Was served by Rory who had great customer service skills! Very helpful and personable as the only worker there. Looks like he kept the inside super clean as well”
