I give 5 stars for overall greatness for many years, but do have to comment the fries were kinda soggy and maybe not quite done the last 2 times. Fish was awesome as always!
I love the wild seafood options at Ivars. The staff are friendly and provide great service. I came in for dinner and used the Birthday meal offer. I ordered the grilled salmon with wild rice. I enjoyed it. Thank you for the Birthday meal offer.
Amazing Grilled Salmon dinner and of course chowder ❤

Ivar's Seafood Bar at James Center in Tacoma/Fircrest is a popular spot known for its attentive staff, clean environment, and delicious food. Orders are cooked to order and served hot and fresh, with prices that are surprisingly fair compared to other restaurants in the same genre. The menu features a range of options, including the chicken Caesar salad, which is a full meal with a crispy, deep-fried chicken breast. The clam chowder is highly praised for being chunky and fantastic, with tender clams and a crunchy coating. The fish and chips are celebrated for being a good, affordable option with thick, flavorful fish. The captain's platter, which includes 10 pieces of fish, coleslaw, chowder, and fries, is a favorite for many. The restaurant offers a punch-card and discount program for loyal customers. Delivery service is excellent, arriving very hot and perfect for those who prefer to stay home. While some reviewers have noted issues with overcooked fish or smaller kids' meals, the overall atmosphere and quality of food remain positive, with many customers returning since childhood. Despite some varying experiences, Ivar's continues to impress with its hearty seafood options and friendly service. Outdoor dining is available, although it faces a busy street, and the cleanliness of the tables enhances the dining experience.
