Restaurants in Spanaway

“I will forever be grateful to this restaurant for serving gluten-free items before anyone else offered gluten free menus. I was very limited if I could eat out. This place gave me options. It was the first time I had eaten chicken tenders in 5 years because it had breading. instead of being met with criticism and irritation, I was met with compassion and understanding. The owners of this place are good to the local community. I just can't say enough good things about them. Oh and their food is fantastic!”

“this is by far thee best Mexican restaurant in Tacoma! Amazing food. Amazing people! all around the best place to go!”

“Giving them 5 stars because their signs. Haven’t eaten here yet. On Google it says they are open until 8pm but they close at 2. Coming back to see if the food is as good as their political views”

“The Exchange Tavern in Spanaway is a piece of living history—established in 1890 and still serving up cold beer and stiff drinks over 130 years later. Originally known by the colorful nickname “The Bucket of Blood,” this spot started as a loggers’ saloon and still carries that gritty, authentic old Western charm.

Step inside and you’ll feel like you’ve time-traveled. The original wood floors have seen generations come and go, and the bar still feels like the kind of place where stories are made and legends are told.

The beer is ice-cold, the pours are generous, and the vibe is delightfully rough around the edges. If you ride a Harley, you’ll fit right in—but even if you don’t, just smile, be respectful, and buy a round. That’s usually enough to earn your place.

Yes, you might get a curious glance or two, but it’s all part of the atmosphere. This place is real. It’s got character. And it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re anywhere near Spanaway.”

“Every time we go we have THE BEST service, THE MOST delicious fresh food, and we ALWAYS get the donut holes - they are to die for! 🩷”

“Great food! Good atmosphere”

“Simply the best simple cup of coffee made right every time. Thanks Melissa and Katelyn”

“New owners are really nice and food is great.”

“This restaurant has the best fried chicken wings I tasted! They have unique flavor such as spicy honey garlic and lemon honey garlic sauce. As far as I know the spicy honey garlic is home made at the store. So freaking delicious. Only thing that is bad is the wait times for getting the delicious food.”

“lazy j is like home away from home john an tracy are like brother and sister”

“In the Tacoma area, vibrant cultural food trucks roam the streets and parking lots. It’s hard to know which ones are good, which ones will be fast service, and which ones are low priced. My family LOVES the Crazy Tacos taco bus. We always order five carne asada street tacos and five chicken tacos and for the low price of $22 with fast service, you really can’t beat it. Stop by here next time you’re passing through!

Parking: Plenty of free parking in the parking lot.”

“the ladies are are fast. a few remember what their regulars drink. pleasant experience overall. That said I have had a recent bad experience. Made a order of White coffee,White Chocolate. Macadamia nut. Young lady was fast and friendly. But she didn't get it right. Didn't find that out till I. got home. She had used regular coffee instead of White coffee. Had 2 women very disappointed. It happens. won't stop me or family from stopping in regularly. Perk Central is our favorite coffee shop.”

“This is the BEST coffee ever. The girls are amazing and the prices are great. I've been going here for more than 10 years. And when my mom comes in from out of town one of the first things we do is go get a coffee from these girls ... They don't make coffee like this where she lives. I find myself buying at least 2 coffees on the days I go visit her as she lives very far away. Thanx Cowgirl love your coffee ☕️ 😘”

“I have been going here for five years and love the coffee. I also love ❤️ these ladies they have become friends, and family to me. They rock it at this stand and I love them all. ❤️ they truly make my morning a brighter place. 😁😁”

“Coffee is good and the service now is excellent with the staff changes of late. What can i say, is close and not too expensive which is important to most folks! It is just coffee and milk after all!”

“We have been doing our even planning at this location for Dog Days of Spanaway every few weeks and love it here! The environment is laid back and service is great, and always room for us to have all of our laptops and papers all over so we can get to work!”

“Awesome coffee and pleasant employees”

“I have been taking my family to Kinza for over 20 years. They are always super friendly and have the best beef teriyaki anywhere. ( I have ate teriyaki from Seattle to New York) They are the best.

Kid-friendliness: Since I had taken my grandson there many times since he was small and now I get to take his two boys. The owner is great with the kids.”

“Absolutely amazing!!! This team gives their hearts and soul in every cup of coffee they make. You can feel the happy, fun, customer service vibe when you walk in. Myhlei the store manager is PHENOMENAL. You can tell she loves her team and customers. I was in for just a quick second and she was on the floor smiling everytime and holding her team accountable. She doesn’t mess around (don’t forget to write on the cups;). Also her team is amazing. Shout out to Alia, she smiled the whole time and gave radiant vibes. Can’t forget the AMAZING TEAM MATES: Grace, Chris, Alexis and Mason (last day). I was only in there for 8 mins tops and left feeling apart of the family. This is the store to be at! Thank you”
