“Great customer service day or night and the food always fresh”

“Yes, the line can be long but it’s soo worth the wait! Not much seating inside. They also have cream cheese spreads they make for sale along with other merchandise like t-shirts, coffee mugs, and stickers. We came here while we checked out the Haunted Farmers market.”

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant, hands down. The food is simply the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a lot of Thai cuisine. The warm, homey atmosphere adds to the experience, making it truly top-tier. While seating is limited, don’t let that steer you away—this place is absolutely worth a visit.”

Kid-friendliness: Kid was relaxed with coloring page crayons”

“Incredible gelato and owners that we love supporting.”

“Y'all, I want to start this out by saying I'm not a "chicken and waffles" type girl. I will devour some fried chicken, but waffles I can take em or leave em. I've just never been impressed with waffles or pancakes. That all changed TODAY!! Today was my first and DEFINITELY not my last time visiting Buddy's Chicken and Waffles. My friend and I stopped in and it just happened to be #wingwednesday. We got to sample a little bit of everything. Chicken strips FABULOUS! 🙌 Wings are the biggest wings I've ever seen! 🙌 Pair them with their hot honey and you've got a winner winner chicken dinner!! 🙌 And the waffles... OMG I've heard of people tasting pure joy in a single bite and I can't lie, that's what I experienced. My friend and I were literally giggling with excitement after each bite! We even commented that 2 grown women were acting like children. But the food is that GOOD!! If you like chicken and waffles or honestly if you just like chicken, please go check Buddy's out. He is DEFINITELY worth the drive!!”

“The food was so delicious. we were in a big group and had a taste of many things on the menu. Lucky us. Another big plus was the staff. Congenial , well versed, and real professional. Even though there was a big crowd they looked relaxed. You didn't feel rushed. A great place to enjoy delicious food.”

“I normally don’t review a restaurant after one visit, but Marzano was exceptional. It’s an approachable fine dining experience. The staff was great, and definitely give the impression that they genuinely care about your visit. We took a chance on the appetizer special, and were very happy that we stepped outside our comfort zone (Traditional Venetian antipasto of marinated salt cod on squid ink polenta cakes paired with whipped ciccione crostini, sour cherries and hazelnuts). The lasagna bolognese and carbonara were absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last. I’ve never had better.”

“Had a great time and they accommodated our vegan diets !”

“Great food and service. Our waitress (Sabrina) was the best. The food is better than what you can get in Italy. A must go to.”

“Really enjoyed our lunch here. Sushi was very fresh and tasty. The service was excellent and we look forward to returning.

Kid-friendliness: The employees were very kind and welcoming to our 2 year old while we enjoyed a meal.”

“This place is absolutely perfect! Big parking lot, lots of seating, delicious coffee. They have mugs and cups for drinks there, I appreciate the ecofriendliness. Really nice baristas. It’s bright and cheerful inside. Did I mention the coffee is delicious? Well, it is. Highly recommended.

Dietary restrictions: They had lots of milk alternatives.

Parking: Easy parking in the lot out front.”

“Extremely yummy tacos, I’m so happy this place is in my neighborhood now”

“My Tio Franky treated me on 5/29/24 after visiting my Mommy's grave which is Mountain View cemetery. The restaurant is located at the Center Street Plaza.

The restaurant is not very big. Interior is clean. Tv screen available with Korean drama show running. The service is quick and efficient.

We both ordered the short ribs which comes with rice, salad and japchae $18.00. We also ordered a side of japchae noodles $9.00 plus bulgogi $3.00 and a side of kimchi $2.00. I got hot tea. My Tio got coke. The food is flavorful and delicious!! The portions are generous. I definitely plan on returning when back in this area.”

“Love this place! Nadine was so helpful and kind when giving me drink suggestions. She’s a diligent worker, and her barista skills are amazing! I can always count on her to make the best energy drinks for me. Her excellent customer service keeps me coming back!”

“Wow! I’m no food critic but this was absolutely amazing! 🤩 I ordered the zucchini pesto and was blown away by the flavor and creaminess of the soup! The baguette was just the icing on the cake! Very delicious! Thank you.”

“Love the atmosphere here, the staff are friendly and helpful! Great food, good proportions and good prices. I had the biscuits and gravy with half mushroom gravy, half sausage gravy, sooo yummy!
I highly recommend getting in there early before the crowd shows up.”

“Everything was exceptional! Wonderful restaurant”

“Cute little place. Have the option to order to go, eat at a picnic table, or eat in an old style bus. You order your food at the window and they call your name out over the radio. Food is really good, my girls loved their shakes, and I enjoyed the lavender lemonade. Staff was also really friendly.”

“Great tiny little coffee place. I love the little shop, and the coffee was excellent”

“I recently visited Al Bacha #2 in Tacoma, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. The staff genuinely cares about their guests, and it shows in every detail.

Now, let’s talk about the food — absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, fresh, and authentic, with generous portions that left us fully satisfied. The plates was packed with well-seasoned meat, perfectly cooked, and fluffy rice, complemented by smooth, flavorful hummus and a fresh salad topped with feta. Each bite was better than the last.

Overall, Al Bacha #2 offers a amazing taste of Mediterranean cuisine with top-notch service to match. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!”

“First time trying Indian food and OMG... delicious!! Their coconut curry chicken, yum! Their lentil soup, yum!! The naan bread... delicious. We'll be back!”

“Top-notch customer service and great tasting food—can’t go wrong here!! Also, spacious restaurant, great location, & affordable. My family’s favorite for Asian dining. 🥰 Totally recommend. 🍲🥢”

“Top notch pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and yakisoba. Excellent flavoring, crisp veggies, and generous portions. I am from San Diego or I'd be back to try more! Situated in a food court but every bit as good as a sit-down place. Venue has other vendors too, so it would be easy to mix and match with other different tastes.”

“This was the most amazing celebratory dinner! We got the Australian Wagyu ribeye, the papa loca potato, and pollo asado. All were delicious, I’ve never tasted anything like it and we will definitely be back! All staff were friendly and welcoming, it was nice to have some direction on the best way to use the searing stone as well. They even brought out a tray of cut fruit and herbs for our water! It was the meal of a lifetime.”

“Not only is this the best fast food burger joint in the County for the taste and build of their burgers, but the customer service is a freshness in a world where lack of courtesy is rampant. Kudos to the staff for their friendly smile and clean lobby. Oh yeah, and delicious burgers!”

“Best Crawfish in Tacoma. My Family and I have tried multiple locations around and this is by far the best. This is the only place we return to and recommend. Also Great and friendly Staff!”

“The best dining experience my husband and I have ever had! We came to celebrate our anniversary, and will now be doing so every year! The perfect space for special occasions 5⭐️”

“Great spot with great people, but the lights are uncomfortably bright. It seriously detracts from an otherwise great spot.

Would also be great if they offered dessert”
