TibbittsFernHill "Reservations Only" Calling is How to get in!!

Tibbitts @ Fern Hill is a hidden gem!

I had the smoked salmon quiche and it was phenomenal—flaky, rich, and full of flavor. The cozy vibe, amazing staff, and personal touch from Chef Shawn made the whole experience feel extra special. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Call ahead—it’s small but totally worth it. I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely delicious. Beyond that, they were so nice. We came in with our one year old and they had set up a high chair already for us and gave us some strawberries for her to nibble on while we wait. She got fussy so we split up and I got my husband's fruit cake to go. They checked multiple times on us, making sure everything was okay. Amazing food, even better service. Fry bread and bomb were so tasty. We wish we could have stayed, but baby had other plans.
We felt like friends being invited into Shawn's kitchen. So special!

I had the opportunity to eat at TibbittsFernHill with my family yesterday for Father's Day. This place is legit. The food was awesome and the service/hospitality matched. The owner even gave us a brief tour of his kitchen after our meal. They are serving fresh original food that you wouldn't make yourself at home. If you are looking for a phenomenal breakfast/brunch spot this is your place!

The food was excellent. We ordered The Lobster Bomb and the Ladenburg Law, and both were heavenly. Beyond the food though (which you usually come to a restaurant for 😉) was the impeccable care and humanity that drips from the staff and owner. You can feel and see the amount of love and passion that has been put into this place and its menu. The owner took time to check-in with every table, shake our hands, ask our names, and ensure our experience was one we'd remember. I will 100% return to try the sweet options that I sadly had no room left for after my truly satisfying meal. Thanks Tibbitts!

An amazing, one-of-a-kind restaurant where one feels the love in the place itself, the food and Chef Tibbits and team. Make a resie first, bring an appetite and prepare to be wowed!

Clean and modern interior, very inviting.

A close friend who knows the owner has been talking about this place for years.
Absolutely a fantastic experience. The food was amazing! The Lobster Bomb was incredibly good.

Reservations are highly recommended as there is limited seating. This is due to the quality of the food and impeccable service.

Shawn runs his establishment very well. His kitchen is immaculate, the decor is well thought out, entertaining and personal. Thank you so much. I will definitely be back and be talking about this to everyone I know.

Honestly sooooo good! And the service is top notch!! Owner came and checked on our food and table and was so kind! Definitely will be coming back here again.

Most unique and amazing breakfast I've ever had.

Absolutely the greatest. Shawn is one AWESOME person.

26 bucks for the best and biggest burrito I've ever had. The chef was amazing. He does all the cooking himself. He even gave a tour of his kitchen.

I'm newer to google so forgive me if I'm not doing this right. But I just got a new set of teeth and chose to come here first! LOVED it! Awesome job chef! I had the bread pudding and it was to die for.

I love the story behind the owner at Tibbits Fernhill. It's unbelievable what he can accomplish in such a small kitchen with the equipment he's using. The food and the experience is something I will remember for a long time and wish I was local to come back. If you're visiting or passing by Tacoma, make this a stop in your trip, you will not be disappointed! It's a small place and reservations by phone are absolutely needed.
