This is one of those places mindset and company matter more than the wow factor due to the atmosphere. I travel to many states and eat in many places, this was cozy, food was homie, coffee was great, server was kind, and the decorations of old cars are appreciated. A great spot for a quick bite on road trips.“

“Well, it’s Friday night in Tacoma, which is about the time the week lets go of your collar and you realize you’ve survived another five days of God's green earth. The sun is setting over the Sound; the parking lot is filling up with folks who’ve decided that cooking supper is an optional hobby for another day.

I was sitting there at a high-top table with three of my coworkers—good people, salt of the earth, the kind of folks who know how to work hard and aren’t afraid to talk about it over a beer. We had ourselves a perch where we could swivel our heads just enough to keep one eye on the NFL game and the other on the Seattle Mariners, hoping against hope that tonight’s the night things finally break our way.

Now, some folks from out of town might look at a chain restaurant and think it’s all mass-produced and predictable, like a box of saltines from the bottom of the pantry. But those folks haven’t met Kamie.

Kamie was our waitress, and let me tell you, she is the sort of person who could walk into a church basement during an argument over the annual bazaar and leave everyone feeling like they’d just won a blue ribbon for their winter squash. She has that cheerful, unflappable grace you only find in people who possess bottomless patience and have spent a good long while dealing with the public. She carried our orders with the easy poise of a choir director stepping up to the piano, and she didn't bat an eye when four of us showed up looking for a good meal and a beverage after a long week on the docks.

I ordered the riblet meal—tender little morsels of pork bathed in sweet and spicey barbecue sauce that’s sweet with just enough heat to remind you you’re alive—alongside a cold, frosty draft of beer that had beads of condensation running down the glass like a cold morning on open water. The food was good, solid, honest nourishment that didn't put on airs.

But the service? Well, the service was, as they say, WOW! Kamie brought the plates out with a smile that could melt the frost off a windshield, kept our glasses from going empty while we hashed out the events of the work week, and made you feel like you were the only table in the whole place, even though the room was humming right along with the weekend crowd.

It was a fine Friday night in Tacoma, good company, good food, and a reminder that grace can show up just about anywhere—even under the amber glow of an Applebee's neon sign. Five stars, without a doubt.“

“Breakfast is my favorite -- and Moon Rise Cafe served an exceptional eggs Benedict! Do yourself a favor and take your favorite person here if you want to look like a genius. 🩷“

“Great place to meet friends, listen to a fun band every Saturday and grab a meal. They have a new Chef and Bobby is THE BOMB!! I highly recommend this place. The staff is so friendly, too!“

“Took my mom out to eat here last night. Nice friendly atmosphere and staff. A little disappointed that there wasn't any boudin on the menu, however the hushpuppies and crayfish ettouffee were phenomenal.“

“Modern design, small town diner vibe. Friends and I stopped by for desert, and both the Lava Cake and Pineapple Upside-down were life altering delights of immense taste bud, interconnected neurological pleasure.Food is food, some is great, others not so much.

“Convenient spot to grab a bite without leaving the building, which is really the main appeal here. The food was straightforward and satisfying — exactly what you want from a deli stop without any pretense. Portions were generous and it came together quickly, which is appreciated when you just want to eat and get back to it. A practical option that gets the job done.“

“My boyfriend and I ate here twice while staying at the La Quinta about a week ago and the server/bartender was awesome. The food was good and she made a really strong Lemon Drop! The bartender also made us drinks to go so we could take them back to our room, which I thought was pretty cool. Would definitely stay and eat here again!“

“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!“

“great food service coffee“
