Restaurants in Tumwater

“We accidentally found these phenomenal waffles on our way to a softball tournament in Centralia. So phenomenal in fact that we drove out of our way 3 days in a row to come back for breakfast. We tried the Bourbon Maple w/ Bacon, the Dalmatian, The Local GOAT, Jalapeno Business and Banana's foster, all exceeded our expectations. Definitely give Abe's a try, you won't be sorry!”

“Không gian thoáng và đồ ăn ngon”

“All of them will be helpful and in a great mood. They asked me how my day was going and they recognized me from previous times I was in there which made me feel very welcomed.”

“Amazing value, most generous portions I’ve ever been served at a restaurant. I got the teriyaki chicken and my buddy got half teriyaki and half katsu. Each of our plates easily had enough chicken for two dinners, the katsu was pleasantly crunchy and both were great for the price — about $22 each after tax and tip. The staff person that took our order was sweet and friendly. Menu design could use an update but it still had a charming locally owned vibe so no big deal.”

“The staff was very friendly and recommended different foods based on customer taste. There was a lot of available seats and it was so spacious. As an islander who moved to the states, L&L is a comfort food that reminds us of home. As well as the decor that represent where we came from. A home away from home. The prices was around $30 per person with local Hawaiians juice that was deliciously paired with the food.”

“I can’t say enough how amazing the food quality and service here was. I can’t believe it’s right here in our little town and it was the first time I’ve ate there, just yesterday. We travel a lot. We search for great steaks from Mexico to Nevada to California to Las Vegas! We have our favorite spots. We are prime steak snobs. This was the best!”

“Great sushi and Chef Song rocks!!”

“Great bar for music on the weekends. Great food and service as well.”

“Yum! Best bbq ever! Friendly staff.”

“Wonder spot for quality food.”

“Loved the IPA named Thors Vog. Amazing place and staff!”

“A place tea lovers should definitely visit - this is the third time my daughters and I have been here with so many choices of tea and coffee. The drinks was delicious ❤️”

“They have beers that are consistently good and they have won two awards at the Washington Beer Awards this year. Family friendly.”

“Fast and yummy! The biscuits and gravy wasn’t too heavy and I will definitely get it again.”

“Best Bar & chicken strips in town. The owners take great care of the place and you can tell as soon as you walk in. It has a lovely outdoor beer garden that is SO cozy and gives a great spot to sit, chill, and have a cold one. Bartenders are all sweet and are on top of drinks and food orders.”

“Love the coffee flights, they switch them out every month so it’s exciting to go in and try the new ones, they also have the best cold brew by far, not watery at all and if you get it with the sweet cold foam it is perfect! Definitely check it out!”

“My friend and I always come to this location. If not, we go to another location but this is our favorite location here in Tumwater oh my goodness these ladies always make our day better best coffee ever great customer service always smilin👌😄 Thank you for making our spirits bright.!! great coffee. My friend and I always come to this location. If not, we go to another location but this is our favorite location here in TUMWATER.”

“Delicious smoked brisket and fresh cinnamon rolls, oh my! Definitely a scrumptious surprise!”

“The cookie decorating kits are perfect! We bought one for the 4th of July, the icing was so perfect and the cookies so delicious that we bought the Halloween kit and had a blast decorating them at home. You get homemade taste without a huge mess in your kitchen! In fact, we had extra icing both times and in July I bought extra sugar cookies from a grocery store to use up the frosting and no one ate the store bought ones! 😂”

“Amazing staff and coffee!”

“Best coffee I’ve tried since moving from GA 😩 Perfect mixture of strong coffee but also sweet for my taste. The baristas are always so nice as well 😊 Definitely my go to everyday ❤️ also, very CHEAP and affordable for how good it is!”

“Today was my first time going here even though I live close by. The young woman who helped me was so pleasant, friendly, and relaxed I was inspired to write this review. I ordered an English toffee latte, and the syrup wasn't strong at all, which I liked. Sometimes places make it so syrupy it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This one was good. My son liked his hot chocolate, and our barista even gave him some sprinkles. Will go again for sure.”

“It's a solid Vietnamese food option. We had it after a long hike. Really hit the spot although probably on the salty side but most of our party enjoyed it.

The vege pho was the saltier one of the lot.

The fresh spring rolls were delicious.”

“My favorite place to shop. And now, it’s been my favorite place to work for to. I was hired seasonal and my employment just ended but wanted to say this has been the best work experience I’ve ever had. What makes a good store is not only how it treats its customers but also how they treat their team(s) of employees. And Costco has excelled in that respect. The employee culture is overall very welcoming and friendly. And it’s the only retail where I’ve seen lower level employees treated with equal respect to higher level or senior employees. Good, kind-hearted management -Aaron in food court is about the most empathetic individual you could meet, while still maintaining a professional demeanor and always looks out for both the people around him and the organizational needs. Additionally, he ensures his employees have access to available resources as needed. Honestly have never worked for a better person in my life. Robert was my first impression of decent management in the store. He is an intellectual with lots of interesting things to say but is also a great listener. Dan is a good store manager and has good presentation skills. He speaks enthusiastically and gave a great overview of the organizational culture, mission, and values during orientation. When passing any management in the store, you aren’t treated as a lesser. They really are interested in speaking to you. They’re not just pretending. There are good benefits, insurance, free membership, resources and so on as a Costco employee. There are options to move departments and move up through the company. Thank you all for having me while you did. My only issue so far with working at Costco is that when I applied, I explained I was trying to build my resume and references. Yet, when I had an employer call Costco, and they asked to speak to the supervisor I had while employed, she answered the phone, told them they don’t do job references and hung up. When I called administrative at Costco after, they said that’s absolutely not true and they do references all of the time. If admin/management happens to see this and could discuss this issue with food court leaders, that would be appreciated.”

“Love your new oatmeal and butterscotch chip cookie. Best I have ever had. Of course my Cookie Monster will still want the molasses. Will definitely come to see you more often.”

“All of the baristas are great, great service, great coffee, always on point!”

“I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great time with delicious food, drinks, and impeccable service! The atmosphere is top-notch and the food is always fresh and delicious⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I don't know why every time I've gotten coffee here it has made me sick. I'm lactose intolerant so I don't know. I really like the workers here the atmosphere is friendly I just and plus you open at the hour I like to come but I don't like getting sick and I made sure I got non-dairy this time and still got sick 3 times. I did contact corporate about this they were very understanding and I also let them know that this is not a complaint towards the workers at all because the workers at this store doing an excellent job. I will definitely try again and come back. Cheers update I been getting sick when drinking coffee every morning since. Not sure what my problem is. Maybe been drinking too much coffee for too many years. Coffee tastes great thanks”

“My friend has been telling me about this place for a while and we finally tried it out. First and foremost, they have a HUGE menu. They will have pretty much any American cuisine that you crave. We ordered two different types of burgers and they were delicious. I really liked the fried buns and the ample amount of pickles. The fries had that crispy outer covering that I love. We also ordered a Oreo milkshake and it was super thick and delicious. It was so thick that they gave us a boba straw. The people that own/work there were so friendly. They made sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. We are definitely going to make this one of our go to places.”

“The store is ok, but the "Safeway App" is garbage. I have often overpaid for items supposedly on sale. Including today again. Pork chops at $2 pound, and boneless chicken thighs marked $1.99. Maybe it was "Just for You", possibly they were "digital coupons". Anyway type in your phone number and pray. The clerk at self checkout looked busy. In they past they have been helpful. BUT I for one, DO NOT WANT TO ASK FOR AN "OVERRIDE" EVERY TIME I GO SHOPPING AT SAFEWAY. All the safeways. Let alone pay $5.99 a pound for a whole chicken or 7.99 for a 1.5 qts of ice cream if I am not paying attention. Thank God and the lawsuits the "buy one get one free" meat deals are no more. Thank You God.”

“They are great but if you go inside you will find that drive through is definitely the priority. I thought I would save time going In because the drive through was around the building. I was treated rudely in the lobby. Always treated well in drive through.”

“Love this place! Tasty and fun!”

“My wife and I are so happy with our order which was shipped all the way to Virginia. I used to work for a man that ordered this and he since passed so I took the plunge myself. I've been craving some of this smoked bbq salmon and there is nothing comparable to it around anywhere! The staff was so helpful in making sure my seafood made the journey, still ice cold and so very polite in communicating! If they have something you like I highly suggest you give it a try!! I give it 5 stars from phone call order to mouth!!!!! 😁”

“Oops! We got to the pizza before the photo! This is the “death by pizza.” We rarely eat pizza. We love it but we don’t have any good pizza close to where we live, nor do we like the excessive breadiness with most pizzas, leading us to get a thin crust when we do eat pizza. But we were on vacation so we splurged. The “death by pizza” is like a cross between a meat pizza, a veggie pizza and a Hawaiian pizza. It’s got everything you want and nothing you don’t. The crust is perfect. It is thick enough to hold the weight of the toppings while not being excessively bread-y. The end crust is crunchy, chewy and perfectly done. Excellent!”

“We love Playing Music and enjoying the outstanding beverages at The Mighty Matchless Brewing.”

“I visited several times after lunch hour and I can honestly say that this resturant has the best well done chicken teriyaki and not so sweet but perfect sauce. Most teriyaki place I've been has either too sweet sauce or barely cooked chicken (not under cook) and this place is what I've been looking for.”

“Walked up through the drive thru on June 8th. Great place. Sally and Jesse were awesome!!! I got an iced caramel macchiato. It was perfect. Came back the next day and got another one. Great ladies made me feel at home even though I am from Tri-Cities Wa.”

“The best Safeway store in Tumwater!!!!”

“Wish I could share the video I captured this morning! Woke up today feeling enthusiastic and excited to try my new Double Dead Coffee—and wow, it did not disappoint! I even captured a beautiful video of it brewing because I was so mesmerized. What first caught my attention was the label: “double the caffeine.” As a mom of three who’s always on the move, I can never get enough caffeine—and this was the first time I’d ever seen a coffee boldly state that! I expected something super strong and bitter (especially since it’s a dark roast), but to my surprise, the taste was incredibly smooth, soft, and easy on the palate. It goes down effortlessly and has zero harshness—just bold flavor done right. I’m officially hooked. This is hands-down my new favorite brew. Highly recommend to anyone who needs that extra kick without sacrificing great taste! Thank you Raven Brew, for helping a mama like me!”

“Nice local option with some good bar food. They can get slammed and the service suffers, but thats not normal. That was my watering hole, then walk across the street to get chew, then walk a block back to my apartment. Life was glorious.”

“Always a pleasure ordering here. The wait staff are always so friendly and thorough with orders. The vegan curry fried rice is TO DIE FOR and the vegetables are fresh and have the delicious grill flavor. Absolutely fantastic place to have a yummy filling meal! I highly recommend them.”

“Food was great. High quality chicken. Great taste etc. $1.75 to upgrade to fried rice, for lunch menu. Great value. the steamed cabbage salad ( I think this is what it is?) was so yummy. Waitress with face piercings was incredibly helpful and friendly. inside is very nice and clean too”

“amazing food! hot, fast and fresh! great customer service. definitely would recommend. a true hidden gem here in tumwater.”

“I live down the road and sometimes will stop here on my way back from taking my kids to school. I always get the cookies and cream frap, and my husband gets the same but with 5 extra shots....he's crazy, I know. Their coffee is amazing! I absolutely love it, their prices are so worth it and their reward system is super cool too!! 5 stars!”

“Delicious food and friendly people. Our current favorite Mexican restaurant.”

“This is the only Starbucks I ever visit (which isn’t actually that often). Great staff and ambiance. Today the staff saved me as I promised my daughter a cake pop and I stalled long enough for Starbucks to close early due to weather conditions. They served me despite the fact that they were wrapping up for the night. Huge thanks! I also love that they renovated an old run down farmhouse and turned it into a modern coffee shop while keeping the original charm.”

“My favorite coffee shop around. Every drink I've tried has been great. Cutest cozy atmosphere, great vibes. I love that they have ice cream for my littles.”

“For my taste buds, I am not into garlic and it was overpowering the garlic on the enchiladas de pollo, other then that great but again, it is because of me not the food”

“Service is always good. Same with the food. The ONLY complaint, tables aren't kept clean, BUT it's because the place is so busy!”

“The Zen has the best food and great workers! We will be back soon❤️”

“I haven’t had better coffee or service at any other stand. Grab a breakfast burrito with your coffee too, they’re delicious!”

“Buena atención y los desayunos perfectos y ricos”

“I want to give a big compliment to Starbucks on Cleveland Avenue in Tumwater. The employees are friendly and provide good service. The store is clean and bright and welcoming. But this review goes out to Annika who went above and beyond and helped jump start my car battery in the parking lot. I’m so appreciative. I want her manager and district manager to know what an excellent employee they have here, which I’m sure they already do. Thank you, Annika!”

“I deliver for Uber Eats & every time I come into this location Troy is EXCEPTIONALLY AMAZING!!!”

“Friendly wait staff.. good salad and pizza.. Timely on order taking as well.. Saturday afternoon!”

“This chain is a local treasure, been coming here for years. I would not recommend the Philly cheesesteak, honestly I've had better. But their subs are delicious! Their bread is always fresh baked, perfectly spongy and soft with a good flavor and their meats and cheeses are really good too! My go-to favorite is the roast beef with cheddar and provolone. By the way, their chili and cookies are also fresh and delicious. And their prices are better than other sandwich chains.”

“Great service and good although I'd like them to leave the hair I found out of the pizza 😞 I did call and I really hate doing that. The guy was super nice and I'd replacing the order.”

“Ordered my food got the wrong order but called back when I found out that it was the wrong order and they made a good buy it by replacing the sandwiches that I bought”
