COCO GRILL RESTAURANT & LOUNGE

Went in tonight after basketball at the Tacoma Dome. Looked for food open late nearby.
The DJ was bumping. Not my style but Jr liked it.
Service was friendly and take out didn’t take too long at all.
The beef gyro was tasty and not lacking for meat. Lamb kebabs were delicious. Well seasoned and a nice portion. I wouldn’t say it was purely traditional Mediterranean but certainly good. I am satisfied with a quality meal on a whim when my son and I needed a late bite.

Long wait time for food and change even when not busy. Drinks were not good, lemonade tasted like dish water. After 30 minutes we got our food and it was not good at all. Rice tasted like dirt. For a few things it was $70! Would normally be $30 elsewhere. Waited 10 minutes just to get out change after paying.

Curry tasted like a bottle of pure liquid smoke, please never serve this to people without trying it first. It was extremely bad.

Boss is trash. Does not respect his workers. Does not pay his staff as asked. Food is overpriced and mid grade as well wouldn’t be surprised to see shady business practice get exposed. Not a go to place safe yourself the time and trouble

Stopped by to have a quick drink before going to a concert at the T-Dome. The line was long, but went fairly quick and we were able to find a seat outside. We were charged $37 with beer.

Surge pricing for events $20 for one shot of Horneitos. Sever was very nice and quick though.

So this review is based specifically on day of the pink concert. Yes it was extremely busy but.. it took over 40min just to get the wrong order. My friend only ordered wings and fries. The stuff was frozen and put in dryer it shouldn't of took over 40 min. When food came it wasnt even wings it was tenders. The tables didn't get wiped down after people left. The bathrooms either had no tp or paper towels. Menu was very limited . Might be okay for basic food when not busy but not for anything super filling/comfort food. Many complained about wait times for food.

Planned to have a bite. The service was almost not existing. The lady at the bar was not sure what she was doing there: she struggled with equipment, she tried to guess what drinks they had. It was painful to see her spending like 5 minutes each time trying to squeeze her long nails in rubber gloves to clean glasses or to cut limes. Well, cutting limes was also a challenge for her.
Anyway, we finished our drinks and we left for another place to eat, we couldn't put the lady through such hard work of serving food (hope they don't make her cook).
The "restaurant" had no other customers but a couple, who sat at the veranda and us.

Great place to have a few beers or cocktails before an event. I recommend a Rainier tallboy due to the cost. Please come early and get a seat and you don’t have to wait in long lines prior to the event. We were early and had no problems sitting at the bar. I would recommend more staff during an event day.

My very first time coming to this place I was told from some locals that was at a reggae concert and I was coming from the event at the Tacoma dome for two days. When I got there the staff was overwhelmed that day but I was very understanding if this based on the events that was going on. A lovely lady by the name of Judy which was one of the waiters or bartenders or maybe both she was working hard and sweating to get orders done. I respect she was very nice and came to me to ask me what I wanted and gave me time to decide and she didn't have a attitude or anything. It took my food awhile to come out but I was patient and it came out fresh and the burger was really good with fries and the margarita was good as well. Judy the waitress was nice enough to come and sit and my table band ask me how my meal was which I thought was very nice of her to do so. She didn't have to do that and I respected the face that was she came and took the time to ask me how my meal was. For that reason is why I am giving this place 5 stars because of Judy and the customer service she gave me. The next time I am in Tacoma I will definitely come back which will be next year because the convention is every year in Tacoma at the Tacoma dome which is right around the corner from this place. Also the owner I believe brought me ketchup when I asked for it and napkins which I also respected that. Again I will definitely come back next year when I am in town I was visiting from Austin, TX.

It was a busy day and they were understaffed. Everyone tried if im being fair but i ordered 2 salads and a 3 samosa appy. After waiting for forever in an unairconditioned venue i asked to cancel because i was late. They said my salads had been read all along just 3 mins on the samosas. Sigh like u knew i was in a hurry as i asked for the fastest item. Why didnt i get the salad at least to eat. Anyhow eventually got the samosas ran for my life to my event and hey they only gave me 2 (was sharing this meal) in total 2 salads and 2 samosas got 50usd. Like just lettuce salads. No meat no fancy things. Nothing. 2 salads and 2 samosa. It was good but 100% not worth the wait, being late, or the 68$ cad it cost me. Im so sad. It did taste good but like not 68$ good.
Is there an email? Im in canada.

Went at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. We had to wait a full hour before we got the mediocre food (Mediterranean platter) and had to specifically ask for utensils after 5 minutes without being given any (and none available to grab).

They have a variety of food from American, Mediterranean, and African food. I was really hungry so I ordered the Goat Fry Mix with rice. It was soooooo delicious! The spices were amazing. The only thing I would add is for it to be more spicy! They were a bit understaffed when I came in and there were about 3 other groups in the restaurant but I wasn’t in any rush. Really appreciate eating amazing new when I’m hungry. :)

PIC DOESN'T SHOW AMAZING SIDE SALDE (THAT I DEVOURED ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY).

I imagine many critical reviews here concern timing. Well, guess what? Great, fresh, and delicious food should take time. Don't come here ravenous, expecting your bee-hind to be admired and smooched. It might be the owner's grandma pulling a favor and taking your order. Call in your order like 45 minutes before if you really want to be served on Western Time.

To get to the food: this place delivered some of the best tasting, freshest, and amazingly grilled to prefection (on charcoa, mind youl) flavorful kebabs I have ever eaten. Like wow, every ingredient I ate was delicious.

I would have never chosen this place to eat, but every other place to get food in the vicinity was closed...but damn was I surprised, and glad i had the suripitious joy of coming here.

I'm coming back, like every opportunity.

Come here or keep following Google's homogeneous, highly rated mediocrity
