Restaurants in Tacoma

“Took my soup loving teenager today for a little me time. So good dude. I had tortellini chicken soup and he had tomato Gorgonzola. Pricing was very reasonable. You can taste the passion that goes into this, the texture/consistency was rather runny for what I expected but packed SOOOO much flavor. Literally best soup we’ve ever had. We both loved the vibe as well. Stop in, pick up a cup, and sit by the beach with a loved one for a great lunch/dinner. You won’t regret it!”

“I got the tonkatsu ramen and it was delicious. The pork belly was thick, tender and savory. The broth was rich and flavorful. Best ramen I've had in Tacoma.”

“Been following Buddy’s on IG for awhile now and I decided once Cheddar Bay biscuit waffle was back i was making the nearly 2 hour drive to try it.... and OMGosh I am so happy I did!!!! got OG chicken with it as I am Casper white (aka can't handle spice 🤣😂🤣) along with a half lemonade and half sweet tea with mango and peach it was so refreshing and helped me with the car ride home!!! I personally will be back to try other waffles and more chicken and fries is a must!!!!”

“Had a great time and they accommodated our vegan diets !”

“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.”

“This restaurant has quickly become my go-to spot for fried rice in town! I’ve visited twice and tried several dishes, including pork lumpia, pineapple fried rice, crab fried rice, basil fried rice, and Penang curry with tofu. The lumpia is fresh and delicious, with a generous portion perfect for sharing. The fried rice is outstanding, reminding me of the Asian-style fried rice I crave, with the crab fried rice standing out as the best in terms of portion size, price, and flavor. The Penang curry is simple yet enjoyable.

For convenience, I recommend ordering about 20 minutes ahead and using their own website for pickup, as it avoids the steep markup on delivery platforms and often comes with larger portions. The service is excellent—they even bring the food directly to your car if you're waiting. Overall, a fantastic spot for delicious, high-quality fried rice!. Not a usual spot for convenient dine in.”

“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 big thank you to Duke's Seafood and Phil Treadgold! Your generous donation to Norpoint Soccer Club's Annual Fundraising Auction has made a significant impact on our program. With your support, we are empowering children in our community to access affordable soccer programs and equip them with new gear.”

“Our first visit and we had a great dining experience. Erin was our server and she provided excellent service. I believe the manager also helped serve us our food. As we were getting ready to leave we recieved a pleasant surprise of complimentary flan from the manager for our first time visit! Can't wait to come back!”

“Great tiny little coffee place. I love the little shop, and the coffee was excellent”

“Went here for the first time. The knights feast sandwich has got to be one the best things I have ever eaten in my entire life. The pork paired AMAZINGLY with the apples and other flavors. The biscuit was perfect. Buttery, flaky, slightly chewy, and holds together. The latke hashbrowns are also perfectly crispy and and seasoned. How can hashbrowns have so much flavor? Perfect score.”

“Extremely yummy tacos, I’m so happy this place is in my neighborhood now”

“Top-notch customer service and great tasting food—can’t go wrong here!! Also, spacious restaurant, great location, & affordable. My family’s favorite for Asian dining. 🥰 Totally recommend. 🍲🥢”

“Atmosphere and people watching heaven...delightful staff! love the coffee too!!”

“First time in. Went with the Turkey Cran sandwich. It's a winner! Take my money and keep the food and drink coming!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Their cakes are beautiful and taste amazing!”

“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.”

“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!”

“The food was delicious and the waitstaff were wonderful, especially our server Tiana”

“We just returned from a great dining experience. Great food and service. I highly recommend Bar Bistro.”

“Was there today for a meeting. The owner was super friendly. The scone was delicious and the ice water was tasty 🤭. I highly recommend this place.It has a chill vibe to just hang out and relax or just grab something to drink.”

“We tried the spicy pork salad, kimchi dumplings, and kingbap roll. All were delicious, especially the spicy pork salad. The spice level on the pork was perfect, good heat, but not make you cry hot, balanced well with some sweet. We will definitely go back.”

“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!”

“VK-Viet Kitchen Restaurant HAS THE BEST PHO EVER😋 IDC what ya say! I've tried the others and NONE of them compare!! SOOO GOOD!!”

“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 :)”

“Always great pizza and fantastic beer options.”

“We had take out two nights in a row that’s how good this food is. House made roasted corn ravioli, polenta, fried brussel sprouts.The food melted in my mouth. And the Vanilla panna cotta was of the wall delicious. Food was amazing! Def reccomend this place!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Had my first coffee ever from Big Foot Java. The color of the coffee looked a little water down but man, when I began to sip on it, I couldnt comprehend just how good the drink was.

I ordered Mythical Mocha with decaf because Im trying to sleep and I have early morning flight tomorrow. I ordered it online because I needed to get home quickly. Man, the that mocha was actually mythical!!!
I forgot to ask the barrista name to credit her but I literally just got home from getting the coffee (like I still have the coffee with me now). She made me want to come back tomorrow before my flight to get another mythical mocha!
I guess ill say goodbye to Starbucks, GC and Dutch lol
I dont know how to edit my coffee through google storefront doordash. Id like my coffee to have less ice. T_T
Anyway, very grateful to decide to try!!”

“I ordered the lamb gyro. It was ok, but not the best I have had. I have had gyros and doner kebabs from other restaurants that had the vertical rotisseries, and the meat is shaved and tender. You can't see your food being prepared at this restaurant. I am not certain, but my order may have been cooked on a flat top grill because the texture of the meat was different than what I have had. I recommend ensuring that enough sauce is added.”

“My Salmon Dinner Was Delicious 😋 and Satisfying with The Dessert 😋!!! Great Customer Service as Well!!!”

“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.”

“Rolled in 6 deep at 330 in the morning g and Amber has crafted a sandwich worthy of the gods for not only me but five of my coworkers.
Vibes are immaculate.”

“This location really made a pivot and turned things around for the better. The employees here are happy, they know regulars by name, they are happy to help you. Some of us ask a lot from these workers. Those individuals should be grateful to have a staff team like the ones here. I'll never go anywhere else when I'm in the area. Food is fast fresh and hot! Keep up the great work.”

“This is a wonderful store”

“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”

“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 ✌️🫅”

“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!!! 🌯😋❤️😍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The staff and the food are always on point. ESPECIALLY Omar. I'm not sure what his title is, but if he's not already a manager, he needs to be. He's always so kind, friendly, and courteous. By far, the Hosmer location has become my favorite as a result of Omar excellence in customer service.”

“Very nice friendly staff”

“Great for any gelato connoisseur!!! If you enjoyed the gelato experience in Italy, you can get a taste of it here in downtown Tacoma!”

“Got the cardigan latte & it did not disappoint! So delicious. Also grabbed the new jalapeño bacon wrap & was pretty good aswell! Perfect place to come and work/study. Love the plants everywhere 😍”

“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!”

“First time trying Indian food and OMG... delicious!! Their coconut curry chicken, yum! Their lentil soup, yum!! The naan bread... delicious. We'll be back!”

“Went today for the first time and idk if it was a mistake because it’s the best coffee I’ve had!! and I cannot drive everyday here for my coffee because it’s a bit too far from me 😂. Totally recommend it and an extra plus because they have the nicest people!”

“The food was beyond delicious. I’ve never had anything taste as good as our Turkey Bacon Chutney & our Tenderoni. The shakes were also delicious, & the sorbet was beyond yummy with fruity pebbles. Can’t wait to come back!”

“My absolutely best kebab restaurant, amazing service, quantity, and quality.
I wish I took a picture but it was gone too fast. I ordered ground beef kebab and my husband chicken kebab and as my kebab was great and satisfied my craving I was drooling for his chicken kebab. That will for sure be my next purchase.”

“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”

“Amazing food & service. We will definitely be back soon.”

“Good food. Friendly employees.”

“Consistent quality, large portions, fast service, very clean. Dining area is unassuming but clean, bright, and pleasant, as is the bathroom. Family run, higher standards than similar competition in the neighborhood.

Parking: Shared lot with plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: The owners' kid is often here so i'm sure kids are fine”

“The best cakes on the planet”

“Every single thing we've had here has been incredible. I love the teriyaki salmon don, the salmon teppanyaki, and the miso soup is the best I've ever had. The staff are also super nice. This has become our go-to dinner out!”

“Fresh, delicious donuts. Smoothies and ice cream too ❤️. Glad it's close to home. Way fresher and better than most places.”

“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.

“I LOVE Parkway! My GRANDPA loved Parkway! I've been going there off and on for 15 years as I've come home to visit and it's always a solid place to go. Some nights are rowdy and some are quiet but the servers are always stellar; Nicholas is a GEM!”

“The owner is very kind has wonderful customer service skills, makes the best coffee I’ve tasted in years she makes Starbucks look brand new! They also have the best sandwiches I recommend the roast beef sandwich without tomato for lunch prices are affordable.”

“Love eating here. They have really good pancakes and omelettes. The only thing I would not order is ice tea (soda and water are fine).

Parking: Parking depends on the time of day.”

“Jeremy is the best waiter ever! Can’t wait to see you next week for a girl time with my besties!”

“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.”

“Always fantastic food with amazing service. A local business that I love supporting”

“I ordered the Chicago dog and the German dog with loads of sauerkraut. Super tasty. Beans are vegan by default and were very sweet but good. Wish I would have had room to try everything!”

“Tried it for the first time today. Got the Caramel Cinnamon Apple Butter Latte Hot. OMG TO DIE FOR 🤤 definitely will keep going back!”

“Thumbs up. Employees wearing masks properly”

“Now that there is a great sushi chef there I hope that we will be seeing sushi added to the menu”

“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 🤩😊”

“economical and delicious coffees and food 😋”

“Love By The Sliceade my wedding day perfect. The cake and cupcakes were amazing and they even set up the cake and cupcakes. I was always spoken to kindly and my wedding day was as important to them as it was to me. I will be using them for all of my events.”

“Ruben Watson, John Woo, Boris Vasilyevich and I had Lunch at Sweet Rice, 8425 S. Hosmer St, today. Delicious Food. Some places now go cheap on the rice. They give you plenty.. The dining area is also large, extremely clean, and very nice. No Waitress or Waiter. You order and pay from an electronic Kiosk. Then the Chef brings it to your table or gives it to you to Go. We will be back here Real soon! ???”

“Best sandwich in Tacoma. 😌”

“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.”

“😍 You must drink in the coffee and atmosphere of this dreamy Cafe”

“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!!!”

“best clam chowder hands down, food is amazing everytime we come here”

“We got the irish aviator, wonton mash, Ruben spring roll, Cuban sandwich, and brisket melt. The food was above all expectations and portion sizes above expectations for the price. However, the bartenders need to learn how to pour. I'm sorry, but that was most watered down washington apple I've ever had and i am pretty sure i asked for a double that didnt happen. my wife's dirty Shirley was barely dirty. For a irish bar we had higher hopes for drinks. Fix the drinks and we will rewrite this review to a full 5 stars.”

“These are some of the greatest donuts I've had personally. Like the people there and I couldn't imagine a better raised glaze donut. The maple bacon bar can vary in quality but they have an insanely good maple bacon bar when they bacon is on point. 80% of time it is, other times it's just overcooked but still very good lol”

“The food is so delicious!!!”

“very cute, warm and welcoming atmosphere, their food is simply amazing! I have never been let down. Great customer service, amazing food options for just about anyone! I highly recommend the.”

“They have some of the best subs ever! They are along time favorite of mine.”

“Shrimp and grits are amazing! Eggs cooked over medium, no snotty whites. Perfect! Bacon was crisp and biscuits were wonderful! Amber is a great server with a great personality!!!!! Thanks for a terrific Sunday morning breakfast!”

“These dumplings are on point! Some of the most amazing food I have eaten at a food court! The curry sauces are so amazing, you almost want to drink it when you finish your dumplings! YUM!!!!”

“Friendly Staff, fast service, and delicious!”

“Best Donut's! Fresh,soft, delicious! Super Nice person serving behind the counter! I'll only get donuts from Franks!

Parking: They have a drive up window but I would go in and pick your donuts! I got a mixture of a dozen and every one is sooo gooood! Even after a day or two, they're still good! 💯😊”

“This place was awesome! The best customer service, great tasting everything. Such a great atmosphere. I’ll be a regular. I’m just mad I’ve lived so close and didn’t know about it sooner!”

“This place is f***** if you try to order delivery...and pizza is like store bought.”

“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 .”

“Shrimp and grits are amazing! Eggs cooked over medium, no snotty whites. Perfect! Bacon was crisp and biscuits were wonderful! Amber is a great server with a great personality!!!!! Thanks for a terrific Sunday morning breakfast!”

“This place is perfect in many ways ! It is chill atmosphere parking is easy front and rear points of entry , one of the cleanest little watering stops around , bathrooms are extremely clean just a fun place ! My favorite reason Miller high life on tap and the owners are family 5 star”

“We now have the privelage to eat the best Mil gracias Luis panes love your cuisine”

“very cute, warm and welcoming atmosphere, their food is simply amazing! I have never been let down. Great customer service, amazing food options for just about anyone! I highly recommend the.”

“This place is by far the best in town. Portions are huge. Food is so fresh. Salads are great. What a variety to choose from. This is our number 1 place for delicious food. All we can say is yummy!”

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.”

“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!!!”

“Amazing food, great service. we will be back.”

“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 LOVE it here and we love our amazing server Eulises so, so much. He is so nice, funny and attentive to our needs. We always ask for him. We have been going for 5 years now and will keep going 🧡🧡🧡”

“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.”

“Been following Buddy’s on IG for awhile now and I decided once Cheddar Bay biscuit waffle was back i was making the nearly 2 hour drive to try it.... and OMGosh I am so happy I did!!!! got OG chicken with it as I am Casper white (aka can't handle spice 🤣😂🤣) along with a half lemonade and half sweet tea with mango and peach it was so refreshing and helped me with the car ride home!!! I personally will be back to try other waffles and more chicken and fries is a must!!!!”

“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.”

“Best sandwich in Tacoma. 😌”

“Area is a little small. Entrance is too packed.. once you open the door there are people in line and appears Condensed. Franchise ought a conaider having a standalone Jollibee. Operation would improve. Need to bring back halo halo”

“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.”

“This was my first experience at a McMenamins property and we found it to be lots of fun! The Tacoma property is at the old Elks We explored all seven floors, five of which featured different bar/restaurants! All under one roof. We are in the main dining room, and then went down to the Old Hangout for after dinner drinks. We loved the artwork on every floor the unique chandeliers, and the eclectic atmosphere!”

“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.”

“I've been going to Frisko for years now and was just there and I don't know if I caught a worker on a bad night but definitely felt some attitude but let it slide , cause I'm respectful and love your place. I stopped by with my girl and was getting her a float and just asked the young man with the Lama haircut if y'all had grape soda and he said no and then I asked if y'all were getting it anytime soon and it was as if he was annoyed and replied with well we haven't had it for months as if I was to know that and that they ain't carrying it. which of that is the case why is it still on the menu ? loved getting that with my meals.”

“Went here for the first time. The knights feast sandwich has got to be one the best things I have ever eaten in my entire life. The pork paired AMAZINGLY with the apples and other flavors. The biscuit was perfect. Buttery, flaky, slightly chewy, and holds together. The latke hashbrowns are also perfectly crispy and and seasoned. How can hashbrowns have so much flavor? Perfect score.”

“I got the tonkatsu ramen and it was delicious. The pork belly was thick, tender and savory. The broth was rich and flavorful. Best ramen I've had in Tacoma.”

“Great for any gelato connoisseur!!! If you enjoyed the gelato experience in Italy, you can get a taste of it here in downtown Tacoma!”

“As always, the food was great and the service superb. However, I was seated next to a booth with 3 VERY loud people who kept getting louder until it sounded like they were shouting (it was friendly talk, not arguing). I had already gotten my food, moving would have been difficult, so I just ate, trying to ignore the noise. I had arrived between “normal” eating times intending to have a relaxing meal listening to a book/music, but it was not to be. I WILL go back (like I said the food is great & service is superb) but will ask not to be seated next to anyone if possible.”

“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.”
