“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.

“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.

Restaurants by Cuisine
“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!”
“The food was delicious and the waitstaff were wonderful, especially our server Tiana”
“This place deserves more than 5 stars. Amazing food, amazing service, and amazing atmosphere. I completely agree with the past reviews this place has. The owner is the kindest person ever and put a smile on everyone’s face that was in his restaurant. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know! Thank you, Shawn!”

“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!”
“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 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.”

“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.”
“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.

“My friend & I were looking for a restaurant to eat dinner after a community event. We drove past Cooks Tavern and I said: “Let’s drive around the block & eat at Cooks Tavern”. We had a great dinner with a server who was kind, attentive & professional. I loved my dinner and look forward to eating here again soon!”

“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!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Went solely for an espresso martini that was out of this world and very fairly priced. The bartender was prompt and very friendly. Clearly people were having a nice time. I’d definitely go back!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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”

“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!”
“Love the people that are there. Makes you feel at home with some great soul food. And OMG the food is great! A must!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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.”
“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 🤩😊”
“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! ???”
“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.”
“I had the blackened salmon salad. Oh, the dressing has a perfect balance of flavors. Side of Jalapeño corn- bread that is, moist, crisp, addicting! Excellent service. It felt like home. A favorite!!”

“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!!!”
“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”
“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! 💯😊”
“I am obsessed with the nachos, love the happy hour menu, the romaine salad, and the cucumber jalapeño margarita.”
“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!”
“this is by far thee best Mexican restaurant in Tacoma! Amazing food. Amazing people! all around the best place to go!”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“Nice place on the Foss waterway giving you nice views of Mt. Rainier, the Tacoma Dome, and the surrounding waterway and boat docks. Food was good (little heavy on the lettuce), and service was good as well. Prices were reasonable as well.”
“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.”
“Sooooooo good!! Thank you 3uilt for a delicious breakfast and latte today with the perfect atmosphere for catching up with a friend! Excellent service!”
“Lovely establishment to dine in. I came for a Mother’s Day breakfast. Atmosphere is beautiful. One of my favorite things about this place was when I sat at my outdoor table I had a complimentary blanket in case I wanted to warm up. Absolutely totally used it!! My choice was a mushroom omelette. I was informed that the mushrooms on my plate were locally foraged.. as my plate arrived I noticed the cute little mushrooms I’ve seen on a few of my hikes! Now I know they are edible! The omelette was complemented by a side dish of cheesy grits. Also at the table was a bowl of French onion soup and their French toast. All items ordered were delicious. The atmosphere was classy and upscale but not stuffy. Staff was friendly, classy as you’d expect in this type of restaurant and helpful.
I certainly would like to come back.”
“Unassuming place with really fresh sushi. Don’t expect a fancy ambiance, but if you just want good quality fresh sushi this is the place to go. On par with some of the best places in Seattle in terms of quality of ingredients.
This is the place to go if you prefer nigiri and sashimi when you order.
The rolls are good too but nothing extraordinary.”
“Delicious food and gorgeous presentation. The owners were very friendly and attentive.”
“Ray’s a super cool bartender, and master salesman, lol. Drinks are poured right, and the hot honey lemon pepper wings will change your whole day in the best of ways. Low key with solid music. Good vibes!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Terrific Tom’s handyman services would like to let everyone know just how legendary your donuts are👍👉 yours the best in the Pacific Northwest hands-down my crew and I fell in love. Iwith the donuts. Thank you for providing excellent quality and love and everything you do Michelle is a wonderful server of the excellent donuts there.”
“I always get the vegetarian bento box, which has a nice variety and always fills me up and then some.”
“I have eaten there 3 times in the past year and each time I ask for Shawna. She is the friendliest and best waitress ever, I return every time I’m in Tacoma just to see her. Hope she is still there when I come back this spring. The steamed clams and chowder is the best!”
“The restaurant was an incredible view of the harbor and ferry. We saw so much wildlife!”
“I’m recommending it based solely on service and quality of food. I have not been to this establishment. But I love tacos and plan to soon. I look forward to you serving me.”
“As a long time lover and pursuer of tiki, I was very excited to find a quality tiki bar nearby. An extensive and creative menu, truly absorptive atmosphere and excellent service. My only critique would be that I didn't see tamarind as an ingredient anywhere after combing through the long menu. Still we found a few tasty tipples and had a lovely time. We'll definitely be back!”
“Cozy place with great cocktails and food. Try the charcuterie board and wonderful wine or Negroni! Not to be missed!”
“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 ”
“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!”
“Great food! Went for a Birthday dinner :) first time there. Food was amazing, will go again & eat outside when it’s warmer.”
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HAPPY HOUR !! I drive all the way from Seattle and it’s just wonderful every time !!!!! 😍😍😍😍😌🤩🤩🤩✅✅✅”
“Wow. Just wow. This place is great. Great vibe. Great owners. Delicious food and a great selection of cocktails. Plus, of course, happy hour from 2-5. I had never even heard of this place until some friends introduced me and I was just blown away by the whole chill scene. Will definitely go back. The Happy Hour chicken nachos, sliders and Blackberry Smash cocktail made it a great afternoon.”
“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”
“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 .”
“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!”
“This place is great! The staff was amazing! It felt like we've been going there for years! We will be back!”
“🔥 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! 🔥”
“The best staff ever, and super yummy eats! Definitely recommend! 😋”
“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.”
“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.”
“The food was absolutely delicious!! The service was wonderful, everyone was so friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back and recommend it to all my friends.”
“My Review: Had an excellent lunch here in the Tarvern. I had the Aztec salad and my husband had the Jamician Rice bowl with tofu added. For dessert we split the Blueberries & Cream Basque Cheesecake and it was like eating a delicious cloud! The food here is just part of the experience. The building is wonderfully decorated with glass chaldeiners and lights hanging from the ceiling, lots of stained glass windows throughout, and several photos of the Elk’s club throughout the years. If you have some extra time I highly recommend exploring the whole building, especially the 7th and 6th floors to enjoy more chandeliers and art work. It makes my heart happy to see an old building take on a new purpose, McMenamins has done a wonderful job with the place.
My husband’s review: The atmosphere was cool.”
“Always love lunch here. Fast service and great environment. Love the Chicken Parmazan with Alfredo sauce. Disappointed you have to pay $3 more for Alfredo to replace red sauce.”
“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!”
“Excellent has been achieved. Worth every bit of time money and effort. The sunset over the mountains caps completes the entire experience!
Parking: Window seats are best”
“Great service from staff and food always is delicious. Big, generous portions too!”
“Great place to the bring family to eat!! It is delicious I remember coming when I wanted real Mexican Food!!and the place is so clean!! Horchata is so yummy!!”
“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”
“Great place! Great Happy Hour menu, good drinks & super yummy food 😋.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“The staff at Bite are friendly and provide great service! The food is amazing too. I give this restaurant 5/5 stars for atmosphere, service, and menu options. Thank you for being available during the Holidays as well!”
“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!”
“First you have to understand that this would be considered a drive bar. After that, understanding that they have a few games, pinball, darts, pool and decent people there makes this a hidden spot for fun eat before you go, but at the least they serve liquor and have beers on tap. These are the spots that help keep Tacoma small and are perfect when you really want to just have a drink and unwind with a mixed crowd”
“Love this restaurant!! Excellent food, service, atmosphere...staff makes you feel so welcome...feels like you are eating in their beautifully decorated home!!!”
“Good place for quite a selection. Only a 4 because it appears two of the places are closed permanently. Those around are good, I've gotten a couple dishes and the ones I've gotten have had a good serving portion, great service and good options.”
“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.”
“Friendly staff, clean, machines worked. Chuckie was awesome, the hospitality was there.”
“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!”

“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!!!”
“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! ???”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
