50 Best American Restaurants near Steilacoom

“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!“

“Party of 4 for my nephews birthday party. Zach was our server who had amazing presence and really knew what he was up to! Bravo to Zach. The new menu did not disappoint. 10 out of 10 - 100% recommend. We'll be back. Beignets for dessert - cherry on top of a lovely evening.“

“I just wanted to acknowledge bartender Rebeka who always goes out of the way to be kind too everyone and always knows my drink. always flawless, gorgeous, and funny. Also the Lamb burger and ceaser combo is exceptional. Keep it up Coopers! Hiring manager my hats off for the service and food.“

“The food was very tasty in a clean non pretentious atmosphere. I would definitely go there again“

“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.“

“Our waitress Ona did such a fabulous job like we can’t even put into words how amazing and wonderful she was!! Her service is so beyond phenomenal that all waitresses service should be trained by her! She basically read our minds of what we needed on top of dealing with all tables and giving them amazing service. I was watching how she did it so smoothly but she’s just a diamond in the dozen! We did not need to ask her for anything that’s how well she was! We definitely will be back to see her!“

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!“

“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.“

“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)“

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

“bangers and mash, schnitzel, huge salads“

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

“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!“

“Great food! Went for a Birthday dinner :) first time there. Food was amazing, will go again & eat outside when it’s warmer.“

“I got to Applebees on Friday’s since they Open after Covid, Janessa is the best bartender, my girl Kammie is the greatest waitress and Kelce is the best, I wouldn’t trade Applebee’s on 72nd for any other Bee’s“

“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.“

“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. 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 went to the Original Pancake House for my birthday and were very pleased with our meals. I got the Dutch Babies with a side of crispy bacon and the hubby got the Chicken Fried Steak. Both were terrific. I even got a little strawberry-filled crepe with a birthday candle. Highly recommend!“

“I didn't have any of the cider, so my review doesn't include that (including my 'price per person').
It's a fun place, and is kid friendly. It's somewhat 'group seating', as there are a number of long tables with chairs. It's not the easiest place to find (go through the Inn's parking lot)

There are lots of pinball and video games, and they take quarters, so you won't leave with a bunch of tokens in your pocket.
The pizza isn't bad, but I wouldn't go there just for it. We stayed for some of the trivia, which was fun and got everyone there talking to each other, as you swap answer sheets to do the scoring.
Had a good time.“

“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. 🩷“

“Best date night spot. Love the nachos. Wife likes the THD pomegranate tequila drink. Definitely a cozy and warming atmosphere. Will def be here again. Thank you Thirsty Hound!“

“An unassuming store with delicious food!
We ordered the 2/3lb mushroom burger, onion rings and strawberry milkshake. The burger patties were juicy and well-seasoned. I loved the fresh veggies and fragrant mushrooms. Onion rings were freshly fried and didn’t leave a greasy feeling and the strawberry milkshake was creamy with nice strawberry chunks. The lady at the store was also warm and friendly. So happy with this find!“

“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.“

“I finally made it to Spanky's. I had a Bleu cheese double burger. It was the best burger I've had in awhile. The staff was polite and friendly. I will be back Thank You.“

“I come here almost every day for my lunch break, it’s right around the corner, the sandwiches and salad are always 10/10 you can tell a lot of love and care is put into the sandwiches and this establishment. The food is very cheap and affordable in a time where most places charge an arm and leg for a decent meal. This place has it all and I’m glad that I’ve found it! Ron is the best and nicest person you’ll ever meet and I’m glad he runs this place!“

“We arrived with a group of 10 people, and our server greeted us very quickly and immediately moved tables to accommodate us. The great service continued through the delicious meal (served promptly), and the drinks were excellent. The live music was entertaining as well. We highly recommend The Spar!“

“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!“

“Great service - University Place Applebee’s!“

“This was my first time going to the loose wheel. The atmosphere is perfect with the pool tables in the background. The food was excellent and in large portions. And the service by Ashley B was outstanding! Will recommend all my friends and will definitely be back.“

“Great golf tournament!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing customer service and food. Will be back to try the rest. Fost visit and was Amazing“
