“We have loved this building for now four generations of our family coming here. The current proprietor makes delicious food and pours her heart and skills into every scratch recipe. Today, we were well taken care of as we celebrated my mom’s 75th birthday in their outdoor dining space. Everyone loved their food, enjoyed friendly & attentive service, and enjoyed many “memory lane” conversations about coming to The Bair (and Mom working part-time here back in the day). Nostalgic, special, fabulous food, and great people. Thank you to Sara and her fantastic team!“

“my husband and I will go there about few times a year. this was my father in laws favorite place to eat every Wednesday with his brother for many yrs. Yesterday(July 21st) we ate there at approximately 7pm. very nice waiter we had. my husband ordered a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. he indicated that that meat was very tough and rubbery. I tasted it and totally agreed with him. but that won't stop us from going there again. we did show up on July 16th(Sunday). had no idea you closed up so early(it was about 6pm)“

Thank you for this location going above and beyond 👌“

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. This? Pure pleasure starting from atop your tongue, flowing through your esophagus, and into your soul. Definitely recommend stopping! Im sure the food was just as good!“

“We came to Dirty Oscars for a change of scenery. We live in Puyallup. Food was ok. We got dbl bloody Mary’s, the traditional eggs beni and the elk hash. Hollandaise was good and the elk, sadly was not very flavorful. The thing that sucked and pretty much ruined the meal was when we go the check we were basically charged for 2 bloodys each! $28 for a dbl Bloody Mary. Doesn’t make sense when a shot of vodka is just $8! Asked manager and her response was “I don’t make up the prices. This is ridiculous!” We won’t be back.“

“The Greenhouse is by far our favorite restaurant. Always excellent food and exceptional service in a setting that just makes us feel special. Today we had another wonderful family birthday lunch. So grateful to the staff who make our celebrations so special.“

“Good food. Friendly employees.“

“This place is catered towards Longshoreman and truckers. What does that mean? 24/7 HOT FOOD! That also means that it's a little off the beaten path. Strangely enough, Tacoma doesn't have many 24/7 joints, so this place is an absolute gem!“

“WOW! (Best choice for a late breakfast) Welcoming prompt greetings. Staff seamlessly took care of all of our needs! Thank you Chris, Courtney, John, The owner Franco, Bonnie, Angie...this was my first dinning experience here, after hearing so many positive mentions. I must say that I had such lovely time! I look forward to my next visit- complete with outstanding customer service, cleanliness, quality portions... An atmosphere most charming.... 😋“

“Great service - University Place Applebee’s!“

“The staff seemed friendly enough, the wait for the food was over a half hour long, even though it seemed a few tables stayed open. The food was good enough and had sizable portions but was definitely on the pricey side.“

“Just went there for the first time and we were super impressed with how fast our food came out! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, normally places have way too much eggs in them but not here! Perfect! Great coffee too. Our waitress was super kind and cool as well!

We will definitely be coming back.

Edit: I forgot to mention, bring cash to pay and your meal will be cheaper!“

“TaMarrie gave us spectacular service! We came in unexpectedly with a group of 20 late at night, and he handled us with care! He was so attentive and kind! Great energy!

“NEW NEW NEW! New snacks, new games - fun times! They have pinball games now and it’s amazing. Of course the cider is lovely, rotating and fabulous. Heard there’s a pizza test kitchen happening, I had a slice and I’m into it. Don’t be deterred by the weird parking lot, you’ll have a good time.“

“The OPH organization is absolutely wonderful. My daughter and I are visiting WA and ate at the Bothell location. My daughter purchased a forever coffee mug but left it on the table when we left. We contacted the Manager, Cameron, and he was absolutely amazing with coordinating the pick up of the mug at another location. We arrived at the Tacoma location to pick up the mug and eat lunch. The Manager, Alan, was anticipating our arrival and welcomed us with a big smile. He brought us the mug and for the remainder of our visit both our server Jorge and Manager Alan were very attentive. They checked on us regularly and made us feel like VIPs. Thank you to the OPH team for making our experience memorable. Amazing customer service. We will be back, Alan! Lisa and Jasmine Angiano from Phoenix, Az!“

“Great place to bowl! I’ve been coming here my entire life!“

“My wife and I have always driven by but never really had the time to stop, until today. When you walk in you'll notice that it's just basic, no fancy anything and if you want water just walk over and pour yourself some it's great exercise 😄. Anyway. They have a very large menu to order from and if you want fish, get fish. If you want a burger, then get a burger and fries, it's really good food and you get your money's worth. The owners/ employees are absolutely great. Go give them a try!.“

“My favorite bar in Tacoma. I was looking for a place to watch a huskies game last season and no bars were showing it since the game was on the Peacock app. The manager let me cast my phone to the TV and other huskies fans started rolling in to watch not long after. Love this place.“

“New Menu options are amazing. We tried a regular & gluten free cauliflower crusts. Both were excellent. Loved the choices or you can create your own pizza. We've recently tried barbicoa tacos and they are better than any we've had at area Mexican restaurants. Way to go RAM at trying new things! Service is always excellent. We love Amy!! She's the best.“

“We were greeted and seated with no reservation. Service and food were impeccable. SJ“

“Honey Baked Ham makes the best homestyle sandwiches I’ve ever had. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“We go to Waffle Stop almost every Sunday. The food is great and there are options for everyone be they 1,10,21,50, or 100. Most importantly the staff are amazing; they know our beverage order when we walk in the door and they are incredibly kind to our almost 2 year old. The service is top notch, the food is something I look forward to all week, and they make our family feel like we are part of theirs.“

“Pro tip! You NEED to have Ashley as your server! She was AMAZING! On top of everything. Never once was our drinks empty, very attentive, always had a smile on her face and was very polite. Very rare these days. I hope you have the pleasure of having her as your server.“

“great food and drinks. tonya is an awesome server!“
