Katie Downs Waterfront Tavern

I got the veggie pizza but subbed the red sauce for white sauce. Delicious! Now I know why they won't do many awards for their pizza! Also, the clam chowder isn't the best looking, needs a little parsley garnish or a lil line dusting of paprika, but don't let that fool you! IT'S DELICIOUS!!! One of the best in my opinion!

Also, I can't remember my servers name, but she has dark hair and glasses. She was on point! She was driving half the restaurant herself I believe and you would never know because the service was so good! Props to her and a big thanks for making my gma's 96th bday lunch a very enjoyable time. I love this place!!!

PS YOU HAVE TO ORDER THE LEMON DROP! It comes in it's own shaker and is delicious!💜

I went to Katie Downs for the first time in many years and was in Heaven. This is my all time favorite pizza, in particular The Mariner.

The prices seem to have doubled. The turkey sandwich was $24. The mozzarella sticks (6) was $20. The sandwich was good, however the bacon on the sandwich was maybe 1/2 a strip of bacon cut into 3 tiny pieces. The mozzarella sticks were barely warm and underseasoned. The fries seemed to have been sitting under a heat lamp for some time. Really disappointed in the outrageous cost increase and quality of the food.

Great views and good fish and chips. They've got more beer selection than cider, thus 4 stars. Great place to meet up with your friends.

Katie Downs is a delightful place to meet, the service, food and atmosphere are wonderful wonderfull. Three stars are for the cost, it was almost $100 for one three piece fish and chips split between me and my wife, two beers and a cocktail. Surcharges for onion rings and credit card use. Better value can be found elsewhere.

Last few weeks I visited Tacoma and had a chance to eat here at this water front restaurant. The place is very nice, the foods are quite tasty.
I was craving for patty melts since I haven’t had for a long time. My sister had a reuben sandwich which also very good.
The appetizer calamari was excellent.
The prices are reasonable for a nice restaurant with a view like this one.
The server is attentive and fast.
It’s close the pier where people are squid fishing which is nice to stroll after the meal.
It’s lunch so we didn’t try the pizzas.
The patty melts and reuben rye bread toasted perfectly. I really enjoyed them.
The fries are great.
Sometimes it’s nice to have lunch with a view and here in Tacoma, wonderful when it’s not raining.

Stopped in for lunch. Ordered the Cobb salad and the Mediterranean salad. Food was very good, service was very good however it is very noisy. Too loud to enjoy a conversation

Love the atmosphere, especially in the summer, where you can enjoy the outdoor patio looking out onto the water. A must for me is the steamers and Sicilian pizza.

Delivered food from here. I would have liked that it welcomed families but they do not. Pies were superb. Made to order.

Always a great place to go with out of town guests. Great view and food. We always end up ordering pizza because it's hard to beat.
