“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!“

It was very busy, peak hours, with a Christmas boat parade on the water going on and our server, Kendra, was incredible! She was kind, personable, attentive, efficient, and knowledgeable on the menu.

“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)“

“Ordered the Tower Platter and it was excellent - everything was fried so perfectly and was delicious. Was enjoyed by all in our group even the baby. Can't go wrong with ordering food from the restaurant.“

“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.“

“A good, chill restaurant. The place was calm, not crowded, and had a good, “neighborly” vibe. The food wasn’t anything to write home about, but it wasn’t bad either; it was better than a joint like that needed to be. They seemed to be training a new employee, and he did great getting everything right. He double checked our orders and asked about things we’d already said…but again…neighborly vibes / slow pace, no pressure.“

“Really nice patio seating now also on the east side during the hot afternoons on lounging patio furniture!“

“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!“

“I had the best time today at Applebee’s in Lakewood I’ve been here plenty of times but the feel was way different than before. The face lift in the restaurant is very nice it’s an open space and you can see all throughout. The lighting is really nice and it’s inviting.

We had an appetizer of the new waffle fries loaded with this angry orchard white cheddar beer cheese sauce with so much bacon lol we didn’t stop. They will only be here for a short time! So come 😂 Could have but didn’t then my boyfriend had the lunch chicken sandwhich and fries and I hand the cheeseburger the chicken sandwich was huge the whole bird was on that thing lol and so good. We got two drinks and enjoyed the manager and our waitress Paige was amazing thanks for having us ❤ I ate everything else before taking a picture lol“

“Great service - University Place Applebee’s!“

“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!“

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!“

“great food service coffee“

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

“Been here around 5 times now. Their food is generously portioned and absolutely delicious every single time. Not once has been a miss. Probably some of the best fish and chips around, too. Last time I was here I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was fantastic. The service is also great, polite, and fast. I don't think it's ever taken more than 15 minutes to get my food. Their prices are, imo, better than a lot of places. Especially since their portions are enough it's easy to take half of it home. Love it.“

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

“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.“

“This is the best honey baked ham and all the Tacoma spectacular service spectacular ingredients. No fillers and people you know if you if you’re in city and you’re looking for a hot sandwich that’s delicious. This is the spot.“

“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!“

“Had a great experience at Applebee’s! Teresa and Cheri were both very kind, welcoming, and provided excellent service. They really made the experience enjoyable. Everything I ordered was delicious as well. Great food and even better service—thank you, Teresa and Cheri!“

“Wait staff was very friendly and prompt. Food came out promptly had the whiskey cream sauce poutine highly recommend the daily special was half a rack of ribs. Dry rub. Ribs were very tasty slightly dry but very much edible and delicious. Coleslaw was a pleasant surprise, having the pineapple in it beans were on point. I personally was not a fan of the dessert. I had the cream puff pecan ice cream dessert it was prepared. Well, it looked good. It was personal preference not liking it. It was taken off of my bill not at my request. I would return and highly recommend anybody looking for a good place to Have an enjoyable meal with good service to try steel Creek.“
