“Located in a food hall with street parking. No AC so in the summer it can get a little warm inside. The food was fantastic with great portions. One of the best pad Thai I had since moving to Washington. Not too sweet, tangy, spicy. Husband had the fried garlic chicken I believe and he said that was fantastic as well. Owner (I think) was super sweet and asked us how we liked her food afterwards. Highly recommend! If we didn’t live so far we would be here more often.”
“A big shoutout to Duke's Seafood Restaurant for their incredibly generous gift of gift certificates for our amazing teachers at Browns Point Elementary School! Your kindness truly helps us show how much we appreciate the hard work and dedication of our fantastic educators. We feel so lucky to have such a thoughtful partner in our community—thank you for making a difference!”
“We had an amazing dinner at Cactus. Everything was wonderful from the moment we sat down and were greeted by our server, Mark. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had and the drinks were the terrific. We will be back!”
“Came here for brunch at 10am to celebrate my Birthday. I wasn’t expecting to have such a personable experience and to be greeted by the owner. We ordered the hash and the French toast. Both dishes were superb and we loved how the food was plated. Everything looked so full and rich, that it just makes your mouth water. Shawn Tibbits even gave us a tour of his kitchen and it was amazing to hear his story and that he strives for sustainability and zero waste. We really support those practices and Alaskan mentality. I can’t wait to eat here again!”
“I normally don’t review a restaurant after one visit, but Marzano was exceptional. It’s an approachable fine dining experience. The staff was great, and definitely give the impression that they genuinely care about your visit. We took a chance on the appetizer special, and were very happy that we stepped outside our comfort zone (Traditional Venetian antipasto of marinated salt cod on squid ink polenta cakes paired with whipped ciccione crostini, sour cherries and hazelnuts). The lasagna bolognese and carbonara were absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last. I’ve never had better.”

“Had a great time and they accommodated our vegan diets !”
“We went for the first time last night for my early birthday dinner at the recommendation of a friend and we were NOT disappointed! We started with a bottle of Walla Walla Sangiovese which was delicious. We had the Queso Fundido, for sides we ordered Rajitas Poblanas (Fire roasted poblano peppers in a cream and corn sauce) and the Papa Loca (Baked and seasoned potato topped with smoked bacon, 4 cheese blend, Mexican crema and wagyu carne asada), we each got the filet mignon flight which had 3 filets- the Japanese A5 Wagyu was SO amazing! For dessert we had the flan flight (sweet cream, Nutella, sweet corn) and the Basque Cheesecake. Every bite was phenomenal and the service was outstanding- I love the whole vibe on the restaurant and how personable and helpful the staff was. While not cheap, it was definitely worth it and we will definitely be going back!”

“Best Crawfish in Tacoma. My Family and I have tried multiple locations around and this is by far the best. This is the only place we return to and recommend. Also Great and friendly Staff!”
“West 122 is an absolute gem! The steak and lamb were beyond incredible—perfectly cooked, tender, and truly melted in our mouths. It was such a pleasure meeting Executive Chef Keno and bartender David. Both were exceptionally engaging, offering thoughtful guidance on our food and drink selections. I enjoyed a perfectly paired wine, while my husband savored a fine whiskey—both recommendations were spot on! The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. West 122 has certainly set the bar high, and it’s definitely a place we will revisit!”
“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.”

“Asado Steakhouse delivers an unforgettable dining experience that feels straight from culinary heaven. The steak is a masterpiece—perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and seasoned to perfection. The Caesar salad was a classic done right, with fresh, crisp greens and a rich, tangy dressing that elevated every bite. The honey-butter glazed carrots were a delightful balance of sweetness and warmth, and the Corona beans with sun dried tomatoes offered a new flavor to round out the meal. Even the sourdough bread, roasted on the grill, was a revelation—crusty, smoky, and utterly sublime. Every dish showcased for this January special met with meticulous care and mastery, making it clear the chef and kitchen team are nothing short of extraordinary. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience you’ll savor long after the last bite. Highly recommend!”
“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 so delicious. we were in a big group and had a taste of many things on the menu. Lucky us. Another big plus was the staff. Congenial , well versed, and real professional. Even though there was a big crowd they looked relaxed. You didn't feel rushed. A great place to enjoy delicious food.”
“I have never had pizza to go and went there tonight. The second I walked in Patrick, Danni and Giuseppe were so warm, welcoming and quite the comedians! They suggested a glass of wine while I waited for my pizza so I went and had a glass of wine. The bartender was just as amazing as them! Hands down the best customer service in a long time and the pizza was outstanding! I'll definitely be back! Thank you :)”
“Thank you to the new Primo Grill owners! Thank you for the delightful WELCOME from our first point of contact. Her smiles and eye contact and excitement to have us were exactly what we needed after a long tiresome weekend. She is a gem. Thank you for the beautiful and clean and cheerful ambiance. Thank you for our amazing table with the opened window wall which made it feel like we were dining on a rooftop deck. Thank you for the INCREDIBLE SERVICE by the same excellent young lady who welcomed our requests and made us feel important and special and appreciated. She was so engaging and treated us as if we were invited into her own home. Lastly, thank you for your AMAZING chef created offerings. We had the curried mussels- my most favorite dish in the entire state of Washington. Our dear friend who joined us races yachts in Santa Barbara, CA. He knows fine dining, and he was more than impressed with your curried mussels. We also chose your Moroccan Chicken, Pork Chops, and Pasta Carbonara. Everything was delicious. 7 stars if we could go that high. I encourage everyone to host guests at this lovely, intimate, affordable, and welcoming epicurean restaurant. When looking for a perfect spot to escape to on a night when cooking doesn't sound that exciting and also to be able to celebrate all the special people you love the most- CHOOSE PRIMO GRILL.”
“10/10 I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. The food is so good, they take care of their smoked meats. The restaurant and bar is so amazing. Incredible atmosphere that you can escape into with incredible tiki and incredible respect to the pacific islands. This is our new favorite restaurant!”
“Decent place in my opinion, but just seemed oddly expensive. To be fair, I was a tourist and not from the state, but a simple breakfast for 3 people turned out to be $75 with tip… I’m not sure, I was just kind of surprised. Ambiance was nothing crazy cool but certainly clean and decent service.”

“Food was AMAZING! Chef and staff were welcoming, friendly, and courteous, with a warm and comfortable atmosphere. This is probably one of the best restaurants in Pierce County that makes delicious food from scratch. Highly recommend!”
“Evening out needed to get a drink and waste some time before a concert. Found this place. We were quite surprised it was awesome! Had several ciders on tap, wine selection and food. Place is filled with amazing plants and old live edge wood which adds to its ambience. Staff was great and they were about to have an open mic night. Really neat place to check out.

“We have tried many flavors. Tonight was no different. I have to say the Ginger Bold was so good, but the Roasted Mate was terrific. We hit up their Kent warehouse. Give Wayne a shout. So knowledgeable and takes the time to show and taste his liquid gold. Hopefully coming out to a store near you. Keep a look out.”
“In all my experiences with the staff, I would have to say they're not only serving up drinks but excellent customer service. I suppose it comes with being a repeat customer to anyone of the different stands they have. I benefit from the south Tacoma, SeaTac, and the Auburn stands. Going to work or during work while delivering train crews to Tacoma and Auburn. Thanks Guys and Ladies for great service!”
“I stopped by Bigfoot every morning, this one in particular the new transfer, I don’t know her name but she works Monday-Friday (mornings)
She absolutely makes mine and my partners morning every day. She’s always in bubbly mood, and funny, she’s A M A Z I N G and my coffee and or Red Bull drinks are always phenomenal. Great customer service!!”
“I wanted to take a moment to recognize the exceptional service provided by one of your employees Mandy . Mandy’s welcoming smile and friendly demeanor made me feel valued as a customer from the moment I walked through the door. She exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism and efficiency, ensuring that my order was accurate and promptly prepared. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it significantly enhanced my overall experience.”
“Great place however the prices like everywhere else has risen .. The once 6.00 (5+shots) 32 oz is now anywhere from 11. To 17.00 depending on your blends of choice. White coffee , whipped cream, extra shots, type of milk like products, adding protein powder, blended milk shake etc .. peace oyt ✌️🫅”
“The lady doesn't understand that I speak Spanish and was completely rude went back and started to talk shit about me asking what came on the order and I was trying to get across that I'm allergic to cilantro this store is that me of my favorite to come to but if they don't fix this I won't come back and will spread the word that theydont care. About all”
“At first I was going to have to go to the gas station to break a hundred because I didn't have anything smaller but the very sweet server offered her own tip money to break my 100 so I can eat as soon as possible and rest. She also suggested that I get their special instead of the regular order which saved me about $10 it was delicious and the coffee was fresh and hot. She definitely earned her tip. As far as Denny's go this was a little hidden gem definitely a little sanctuary I would highly recommend it for any werry traveler.”
“I ordered the carnitas for takeout, I thought I had ordered the combo meal with rice n beans, but instead they delivered a huge delicious carnitas burrito!! No worries and good call on the burrito! I couldn't even make a dent in it after last nights flight into Seattle (1st timer here!) I'm now attempting to finish said burrito 😋😋🤤🤤 OMG So Delicious!!! 🌯😋❤️😍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We came to visit this Bigfoot Java today for the first time and there is a new employee by the name of Sarah that did an amazing job. Her customer service was impeccable and she made the most delicious drinks just the way we wanted them. She definitely has a gift when it comes to enlightening someone's day and making sure that she makes the best quality drinks anyone could ever imagine.
Thank you so much Sarah ❤️❤️ You definitely need to be running this place!
My daughter loved her dark chocolate strawberry milkshake so much????
We will definitely be back and we will tell everyone that we know to come to this specific location ❤️”
“I wish I had taken a pictures of the AMAZING pizza but I ate to fast that’s how good it was.
Fresh ingredients with fluffy yet crispy crust. The customer service was also great, they truly care about making sure each customer enjoys their meal.”

“I recently visited Al Bacha #2 in Tacoma, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. The staff genuinely cares about their guests, and it shows in every detail.
Now, let’s talk about the food — absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, fresh, and authentic, with generous portions that left us fully satisfied. The plates was packed with well-seasoned meat, perfectly cooked, and fluffy rice, complemented by smooth, flavorful hummus and a fresh salad topped with feta. Each bite was better than the last.
Overall, Al Bacha #2 offers a amazing taste of Mediterranean cuisine with top-notch service to match. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!”

“The Red Hot is one of Tacoma’s best beer spots. The food is good, great selection of beers, and the service is top notch. Particularly our favorite bartender Elliott, who is such a mensch. He knows the kind of beer I like and is always Johnny on the spot with a great recommendation. My wife thinks he’s super cute, I cannot say, but I’ll take her word for it. He does always smell good, I’ll give him that. Except once when he smelled rather strongly of sauerkraut but that was the result of a rather unfortunate mishap with a 5 gallon bucket of sauerkraut which was entirely outside of his control. He can also spit mad rhymes but only after a few strong IPA’s. Anyway, go check out The Red Hot and if you get Elliott as a server, drop a phat beat on him and watch what he can do.”
“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.”
“Such an amazing and unique atmosphere. The owner is a true mixologist, coming up with delicious drinks off the top of his head. Food is amazing 🤩. Gordon Ramsey would be impressed. The owner also made sure to come to our table to check on us. I will absolutely return 🤩😊”
“We just returned from a great dining experience. Great food and service. I highly recommend Bar Bistro.”
“this is by far thee best Mexican restaurant in Tacoma! Amazing food. Amazing people! all around the best place to go!”

“Brianne made me an absolute stunning 3 tier wedding cake, cupcakes, cheesecake bites, and chocolate mousse cups! Everything tasted fantastic and communication was great! I decided to press my own flowers as decoration for my cake and cupcakes and sent some inspo pictures and Brianne went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
“First time for me! You can tell the staff are well trained at the bar. They care about their customers which I love.
I had gotten the corn beef hash, I was unaware it came smothered In hollandaise sauce. I also felt I didn’t get a lot of corn beef their was a ton of eggs but to much meat. My boyfriend got the Hawaiian breakfast which he devoured so thumbs up their!”
“We had their sausage egg sandwich on brioche buns. They were super hot and tasty. The coffee drinks used great chocolate in the mocha and a creme brûlée latte with their caramel whipped cream! We were at their newest location on Ruston and the barista was hustling to keep up with the business.”
“The food was so delicious. we were in a big group and had a taste of many things on the menu. Lucky us. Another big plus was the staff. Congenial , well versed, and real professional. Even though there was a big crowd they looked relaxed. You didn't feel rushed. A great place to enjoy delicious food.”
“A to Z, this place is nailing it! Fantastic variety of food, 100% recommend their variety platter of sausage and more. The spicy cheese sausage was grand! The staff was so kind and attentive. Made friends around the fire and loved the beer! Will be there again! Prost!”

“Great bagels and a restaurant that has its own unique voice and is not afraid to show it! Service was friendly and fun and the food was delicious.
Only bummer was that they are so good and so popular that they were packed at 10am on a Thursday! Come with a plan for a short wait and maybe to enjoy your food on the go or wait a bit until there are spots available. I promise, it will be worth it.”
“My Tio Franky treated me on 5/29/24 after visiting my Mommy's grave which is Mountain View cemetery. The restaurant is located at the Center Street Plaza.
The restaurant is not very big. Interior is clean. Tv screen available with Korean drama show running. The service is quick and efficient.
We both ordered the short ribs which comes with rice, salad and japchae $18.00. We also ordered a side of japchae noodles $9.00 plus bulgogi $3.00 and a side of kimchi $2.00. I got hot tea. My Tio got coke. The food is flavorful and delicious!! The portions are generous. I definitely plan on returning when back in this area.”
“Very small, super friendly. And you will not believe the Pizza, herd great things. But I opened the box and had doughnuts. I WAS SO WRONG! The first bite WHO! Flavor, So Rich. And the flavor keeps coming!!! You are not going to eat the whole thing Rich! Flavor! You won't believe it!!!”
“One of the best Asian restaurants in Tacoma. I just had the combination (Souper) large size Pho and it was delicious. The broth is really good with a generous portion of high quality beef and meatballs. Even the bean sprouts and basil were crunchy and fresh. This place also serves Chinese and Thai (common in the Northwest) food but I didn't try it.”
“Cozy atmosphere, service was on-point, food was fantastic, and the menu was simple yet well planned. Not the crazy piled-high sushi mounds like other places that mask the true flavor.”
“First time coming here last Friday. Came here with my cousin, we ordered the karaage chicken, tempura, sashimi rolls & spicy tuna roll. iIt was pretty good, I can tell everything was freshly made. I'd definitely come back”
“I am obsessed with the nachos, love the happy hour menu, the romaine salad, and the cucumber jalapeño margarita.”
“Delicious food and gorgeous presentation. The owners were very friendly and attentive.”
“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.”
“The food is so amazing, the sweet and salty go together perfectly, and the savory elements bring so much to it. The unagi sauce on the eel is top notch. And the tempura is so fluffy while also having a great crispness. All around the atmosphere, the food ,and the service, is so amazing”
“Phenomenal foods here. I especially love the Chili Verde and Chili Colorado. The refried beans are to die for. I come here once a week, it's so good.”
“Located on the Foss Waterway with a view of the Museum of Glass and just really nice to see. The food was unique and a selection of hot sauce. 2 for early dinner 🍽 good value, and experience 👌”
“Hidden Gem in tacoma. Very tasty and bohemian posh. I loved the breakfast and view on outdoor patio. Definitely coming back for brunch. Must try if you enjoy French food!”
“Sooooooo good!! Thank you 3uilt for a delicious breakfast and latte today with the perfect atmosphere for catching up with a friend! Excellent service!”
“The amount of gushing I could do over Manuscript is endless. First date local. Rec and the reservations were set by the third party 5 STAR food, service and location. Hands down new favorite.”
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HAPPY HOUR !! I drive all the way from Seattle and it’s just wonderful every time !!!!! 😍😍😍😍😌🤩🤩🤩✅✅✅”
“We were greeted and seated with no reservation. Service and food were impeccable. SJ”
“if Kenzie is your server, you'll have the best service around. Its rare nowadays to find a good waitress that actually dererves the tips. She blew both me and my party away with how friendly she was! 10/10. She 100% deserves recognition!”
“It's my favorite tiki bar! Lovecraft inspired dark 'pirate' vibe. An assortment of strong drinks and great flavors. Super place to start your night.”
“I always get the vegetarian bento box, which has a nice variety and always fills me up and then some.”
“Came for midget wresting a while back. Waited like an hour for fry’s but the staff was very sanitary and polite I saw the kitchen dude actually wash his hands. Most people don’t go to bars and expect fast food and locals know that kitchen is micro.”
“The restaurant was an incredible view of the harbor and ferry. We saw so much wildlife!”
“Doesn't get much better than this place. Best selection in town and a very knowledgeable staff. I have never had a disappointing bottle of wine from Tacoma Wine ”
“Needs a update on interior. Food is top notch, Ashley upstairs knows her way around the bar* the chef knows his way around the seafood and meats, you'll go for happy hour for the amazing view and come back for every nice occasion you can make a excuse for.
Parking: This view is the best kept secret in Browns Point NE Tacoma
Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible”
“Cozy place with great cocktails and food. Try the charcuterie board and wonderful wine or Negroni! Not to be missed!”
“Craving Thai food today, we found that a lot of spots were closed on Mondays, so we decided to try this place. Service was quick from the start—they greeted us right away, brought water, and handed us menus. When I ordered, I asked for no mushrooms on one of the dishes. The soup that came with the meal didn’t have any mushrooms in it (even though my partner’s did), which makes me think the server might have gone out of her way to take them out for me. If so, that was such a thoughtful touch. The food itself was delicious and full of flavor, and the prices were very reasonable.”
“The best staff ever, and super yummy eats! Definitely recommend! 😋”
“Inside has a great vibe with pool tables. Outdoor seating.
Food and service is wonderful! The shawarma could easily be split between two people”
“I love this place! The design, the wine, the service & ambiance. Had an excellent time celebrating my 42nd birthday here yesterday with family. The waitress was fun & pleasant. Can’t wait to go back!”
“My friend and I meet here every month for brunch to have a “catchup conversation”. These can get a bit long. The servers are great about letting us sit while they keep coffee cups full and delicious food (waffles are amazing) coming “in stages”. I look forward to the dining experience almost as much as visiting with my friend.”
“Great food! Went for a Birthday dinner :) first time there. Food was amazing, will go again & eat outside when it’s warmer.”
“Took my Dad here for Father's Day and it was an amazing experience. Made a 7:30 reservation and they were able to sit us a few minutes early. We got a table right by the windows with a breathtaking view of the water and Mt. Rainier. Our waiter was right was very consistent, and had the perfect banter with my family. Drinks were delicious and the food was even better. Unfortunately not a place I can afford to go to often, but definitely recommend and will be going back again.”
“Had a semiprivate event here and it was great! The space was perfect for our casual/chill event. Brittany was our bartender, and she was super helpful and kind all night.”
“Visited from Baton Rouge, LA with family & we loved it!!! The food was amazing! Very very tasty! As a Southern who knows Bloody Mary drinks, theirs got the stamp of approval! Very good!”
“Stopped in for a quick bite. We had the vegetable tempora as a starter. Husband had the Phoenix and I had a order of California rolls. Excellent food”
“Katie Downs is such a beautiful restaurant for any gathering. It is in the best location, right on the Ruston Waterfront, and the staff here are the absolute nicest. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for a great meal, no matter the occasion.”
“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.”
“We had requested a table by the window, but they said they were saving them for larger parties. The whole time we were there, there were window side tables that are empty.”
“Great service, phenomenal food, and it being an old horse drawn fire wagon fire station with all that history is amazing.”
“I have been a very satisfied customer of EL TORO for over 30 years . I have never been disappointed. A person could eat there every day and never be un happy with the staff or the food .”
“Awesome food....it's definitely now my to go place and very affordable..and the staff very friendly and their communication and service is 💯💯💯💯💯💯 5502 orchard st w 98467 university place...This Antojos Mexican Grill...the staff here you are great...”
“🔥 Best Korean BBQ Experience – Alegna is a Legend! 🔥
The food here? Incredible. The meats were top-notch, the banchan was perfection, and the whole vibe was amazing. But Alegna? She stole the show. Her energy, skill, and attention to detail made the night unforgettable. She handled everything like a pro—flipping meat, keeping the table stocked, and making us feel like VIPs.
Alegna didn’t just serve us; she elevated the entire experience. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your server, you’re in for a treat. We’ll be back for the food—and for Alegna! 🔥”
“I've been to many sushi places in the Tacoma/Seattle area and Fujiya certainly stands out as one the best. I can really only speak to the nigiri, but it is always fresh, melt in your mouth tender and generous slices of fish. So good! I want to go back just talking about it!”
“Narrows really made our group feel at home for our dad’s night out this month! We made use of their Pacific Taproom and it was perfect for us. The private patio was wonderful for a clear night and is where most of the group spent their evening. The taps were wonderful, as always, and we are looking forward to coming back soon!”
“We went for my birthday and had a great time! Everything was delicious.”
“Incredible find! The food is delightful and the chefs are the so friendly. I live in Colorado and am envying my friend who gets to eat there again and again.”

“Beautiful decor, and yummy food and drinks. We went for lunch yesterday, and it was perfect out on the deck, relaxing in a comfy chair with a nice view. I ordered the chicken and brie sandwich, while my mom had the French onion soup, and we both loved our dishes. Their cocktail menu is great, and our very kind waitress actually offered a custom-mixed drink, when I had a hard deciding between a couple of options. Loved everything and will definitely be back!”
“Great place! Great Happy Hour menu, good drinks & super yummy food 😋.”
“Eric and Payton made our visit to the Boom Boom Room unforgettable. Not only did I enjoy the best martini I’ve ever had (make sure you take Payton’s recommendation and order the Gunpowder Gin), but the food was delectable. We started with the Formosa Roll and enjoyed the shrimp tacos and steak. The Formosa Roll was savory and spicy, the shrimp were perfectly cooked for the tacos and the steak came with potato spirals that I didn’t know I needed in my life, but absolutely do! A true gem of Tacoma, bravo Eric and team!”
“Loved the food! On our first trip, we had one of the suchi options, Chulichi shrimp, the ceviche trio, and mango margaritas. All of them were excellent, subtly spiced, and simply delicious. Yes, the music was a bit loud but it was manageable and did not prevent discussion at the table. Our waitress Clarita and bus-person David provided excellent recommendations and great service. We will definitely go back and bring more friends this time!”
“Great service from staff and food always is delicious. Big, generous portions too!”
“My Daughter ordered the food online and usually it only takes 20 maybe 15 minutes, some reason this time it was close to 30 minutes for her order to get brought out”
“McMenamins Elks Temple offers a truly memorable experience with its stunning atmosphere, great value, and high-quality food. The unique setting and service made for a wonderful evening, and the pricing felt fair for such a well-loved spot. That said, while everything we ordered was tasty, the menu itself leans heavily toward casual, bar-style fare—lots of fried items and basic burgers. For a venue that often requires reservations and carries a sense of occasion, it would be nice to see a few more elevated or mature dining options added to the mix.”
“My friend and I meet here every month for brunch to have a “catchup conversation”. These can get a bit long. The servers are great about letting us sit while they keep coffee cups full and delicious food (waffles are amazing) coming “in stages”. I look forward to the dining experience almost as much as visiting with my friend.”
“Walk through the door, a dozen pinball games line the entrance. Approach the bar to a great selection of beer, hard alcohol and some amazing people behind the bar. Cocktail recommendations listed behind the bar. Amazing selection of sandwiches from Phillys to Cubans. They treated me like an old friend instead of a new customer. This is truly the heart of and height of old school Tacoma hospitality. Rumor on the street is they're expanding their venue for live music, and I can't wait to get back there.”
“Thank you JP 😊 I use to come here and feel unwelcomed. Your customer service and welcoming attitude contributes to a different vibe I have not experienced before. It’s a comfortable neighborhood bar that I will continue to visit and tell my friends!!”
“I had an engagement session near this Anthem so we went in! I challenged the baristas with making a heart on top of a latte to be used for a photo! They kindly did it free of charge with repurposed grounds! I absolutely loved the outcome! Great atmosphere!”
“our family of 12 went out to this wonderful place that serve only marisco, i on the other hand would always leave food on the plate but i really enjoy coming to this place to eat delicious marisco horchata was supper good, will be coming back here every time service is good! will be back!”
“Love this restaurant!! Excellent food, service, atmosphere...staff makes you feel so welcome...feels like you are eating in their beautifully decorated home!!!”
“I got a free swag bag of pasta related stuff because I ordered a pasta dish. They gave me a good amount of after dinner mints. The service was very good. I've dined at this bistro for years and it's very good. I recommend their creme brulee for dessert and their kalamata olive aioli dip with fries it's addictive! I usally get the chicken and herb goat cheese sandwich. Very good by the way but, I got this gnocchi dish and because it was pasta month I got a free swag bag sponsored by Barilla since I ordered a pasta dish. If you are hungry while shopping at Nordstrom's it's a great place to check out.”
“Whether it is their store location or their stand at Proctor Saturday market, I have never gotten a bad meal from here. The food, staff, and overall service is wonderful.”
“This place is f***** if you try to order delivery...and pizza is like store bought.”
“Terry is great and all the smoked meats were Heavenly. The smoked Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese is so freaking good. I barely talked the whole time I ate because I kept wanting to fill my mouth with food. The wings fell right off the bone.”
“Friendly staff, clean, machines worked. Chuckie was awesome, the hospitality was there.”

“Van parked at Browns Point Market during Seahawks game primarily for food service at Latitude 47 which is beer only. Classic Burger deilvered to car within 7 minutes. Burger was very tasty and rivals/surpasses the other area hard facilities. Pricing competitive for quality burger.”
“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.”

“We enjoyed tacoma restaurant week tonight (4/10/2025). The very best part of our experience was Toni, our server. She has been our server for our last 2 visits and what a delight she is! I was so happy to know we were seated in Toni’s section. We both ordered the RW Prime Rib. I had chowder (needed seasoning) and my hubs had the caesar salad which he said was good and it was certainly BIG. The prime rib was good; mine was a bit more done than I would have preferred. My potatoes seemed to have been sitting under the warming lights too long. Hubs said his prime rib was good. We both ordered the key lime pie for dessert which was a big miss. They need to re-think this offering. Waaayyy too much whipped cream which is not sweetened at all. Not enough key lime. Once I scraped all of the whipped cream off I could better taste the purpose of the pie which is the key lime. I tried a wine called Chasing Rain which was a big miss. I switched to Robert Hall which was better but I would not order it again. Hubs had the House/Avalon wine….I tasted it and would not order that either. It was a nice evening out and Mother Nature treated us to a beautiful rainbow.”

“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.”
“My mom is a really picky eater (like 8/10 picky) but I brought her here and ordered her the sumo chicken dupbap and she was taking pictures and couldn’t say enough good things about it. She was asking me about the sauce & the pickled radish, it was so cute. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Great bagels and a restaurant that has its own unique voice and is not afraid to show it! Service was friendly and fun and the food was delicious.
Only bummer was that they are so good and so popular that they were packed at 10am on a Thursday! Come with a plan for a short wait and maybe to enjoy your food on the go or wait a bit until there are spots available. I promise, it will be worth it.”
“Great food and service. Our waitress (Sabrina) was the best. The food is better than what you can get in Italy. A must go to.”
