50 Best American Restaurants in Tacoma

“During my stay at the Murano, I had the pleasure to experience both the breakfast and dinner menus at the Bite restaurant located on the 4th floor.When I first arrived, I met an associate for coffee and Deborah made us the Mocha and Latte, both were great. She mentioned the restaurant opened up for dinner and invited us back. KB was my dinner server, he was attentive and friendly. Mayra was my server for breakfast and she was incredible. There were also 2 other staff members who periodically check in, so no definitely no shortage of good service. I had the overnight oats, which was a balance of sweet, with a bit of nutrition. Although it is considered a “small” on the menu, I found it to be perfectly filling.Highly recommend giving this place a try. For the food, the ambiance, and the friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back.“

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

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

“Certain things remain the same, but there is a loss of spirit since original owners Jaime and Jason went South. Great staff as ever. The burger was excellent, the tacos were ok.
It was not busy when we went at 830 on a Saturday... But the music was really loud and I wasn't crazy about the album they were playing. The lack of musical variety hastened our departure. Certainly it's the staff choice on music but a whole hour of it wasn't for me.

2017 Review:
While it's become too crowded at night for me to venture in as much due to the college aged scene, I'll brave the neighbourhood crowd during the day for ToT's fantastic menu of sandwiches, salads, nachos and other yummy stuff. Great veggie selections - I order their Buddha Belly wrap most of the time. Delish!
The staff here is amazing. I'm a ToT fan for life!“

“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.“

“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.“

“many years ago would go every day after work or should I say in my young years, Many beach derby Christmas parties Halloween parties so much fun with Dan Lean. thanks for the memories!“

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

“We came to Dirty Oscars for a change of scenery. We live in Puyallup. Food was ok. We got dbl bloody Mary’s, the traditional eggs beni and the elk hash. Hollandaise was good and the elk, sadly was not very flavorful. The thing that sucked and pretty much ruined the meal was when we go the check we were basically charged for 2 bloodys each! $28 for a dbl Bloody Mary. Doesn’t make sense when a shot of vodka is just $8! Asked manager and her response was “I don’t make up the prices. This is ridiculous!” We won’t be back.“

“Great service, phenomenal food, and it being an old horse drawn fire wagon fire station with all that history is amazing.“

“Modern design, small town diner vibe. Friends and I stopped by for desert, and both the Lava Cake and Pineapple Upside-down were life altering delights of immense taste bud, interconnected neurological pleasure.Food is food, some is great, others not so much. This? Pure pleasure starting from atop your tongue, flowing through your esophagus, and into your soul. Definitely recommend stopping! Im sure the food was just as good!“

“They treat you like Family here!“

“WOW! (Best choice for a late breakfast) Welcoming prompt greetings. Staff seamlessly took care of all of our needs! Thank you Chris, Courtney, John, The owner Franco, Bonnie, Angie...this was my first dinning experience here, after hearing so many positive mentions. I must say that I had such lovely time! I look forward to my next visit- complete with outstanding customer service, cleanliness, quality portions... An atmosphere most charming.... 😋“

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

“Good food. Friendly employees.“

“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.“

“Just went there for the first time and we were super impressed with how fast our food came out! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, normally places have way too much eggs in them but not here! Perfect! Great coffee too. Our waitress was super kind and cool as well!

We will definitely be coming back.

Edit: I forgot to mention, bring cash to pay and your meal will be cheaper!“

“TaMarrie gave us spectacular service! We came in unexpectedly with a group of 20 late at night, and he handled us with care! He was so attentive and kind! Great energy! Special shoutout to Venus for also spending time talking with us! She was so sweet and amazing! We loved her and we loved TaMarrie“

“my husband and I stopped in on a whim, and boy am i glad we did!! very friendly, great food, wonderful atmosphere. five stars all the way.“

“The staff seemed friendly enough, the wait for the food was over a half hour long, even though it seemed a few tables stayed open. The food was good enough and had sizable portions but was definitely on the pricey side.“

“I had a great night at Hank’s enjoying the tasty French dip and fresh dinner salad. The roast was heated on the grill with very little fat on the slices. The bread was toasted; crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.“

“I took my wife to hops and drops for a surprise birthday party and the service was the best I have ever had! I would like to thank ALL the staff that made her day so special, and a special thanks to our server Amanda!!! absolutely amazing people, drinks and food!! Highly recommend“

“New Menu options are amazing. We tried a regular & gluten free cauliflower crusts. Both were excellent. Loved the choices or you can create your own pizza. We've recently tried barbicoa tacos and they are better than any we've had at area Mexican restaurants. Way to go RAM at trying new things! Service is always excellent. We love Amy!! She's the best.“

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

“This is a gem of a restaurant! It's unique and fun to eat breakfast or lunch. We ate there today, and were very pleased with the food and the service!! I love everything about Little Jerry's, and recommend it highly!“

“the service an food {says the cook}“

“delicious food, great and very friendly service! worth every penny“

“Food: 11/10 excellent quality
Price: 10/10. $12?! Reasonable!
Service: 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10
I SCARFED down my chicken salad on a croissant 🥐!! The first bite and I was sold. The service was so quick, I was in and out of there in 5 minutes. It's impeccably clean inside as well🫧. You know how when you get drinks out of a soda fountain and they taste slightly like other flavors than what you're using because the nozzles don't get cleaned? Did not experience that here and it took me a moment to realize why my drink was so good 💯 I will definitely come back and try everything. Thanks for a great lunch (that didn't cost me $30!).“

“amazing food !! we went Saturday night and waited nearly an hour for our food and it was definitely worth the wait. we will be visiting again, soon !“

“Honestly. I am shocked about how good this bar food is, and how friendly the staff is here. I typically dine or drink at upscale places, but everything here is made fresh, and it's pretty effing cheap. The drinks are great, they have a ton of regulars, and yea the crowd at night can be a little rough, but everyone respects. Day time drinking here is great as well! Been coming here the past month, never had an issue. Great pool table too! Music can be too loud at times though, which can be hard to have a conversation.“

“Food isn't bad. Best deep fried mushrooms in town. Beer selection could be better. Daily specials. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Has pull tabs.“

“Delicious burger and fries. Decent priced and friendly service.“

“Delicious food along with super friendly and attentive staff definitely need to visit during the day next time to see more views definitely recommend it if you're in the area“
