Restaurants in Tumwater

“Không gian thoáng và đồ ăn ngon”

“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!”

“The food was amazing and the portions were phenomenal. Definitely got more than I expected. The woman running the register was super sweet as well. I highly recommend”

“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.”

“Yum! Best bbq ever! Friendly staff.”

“My first time eating here. I got my food to go as I live an hour away. When I got it home everything was all packaged up and I just had to heat it up and place everything in a bowl. The best food I’ve eaten in a while. Will definitely be back!”

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

“Absolutely LOVE JeanPierre's! This place is truly something special. If you’re looking for a dining experience that’s both delicious and unforgettable, look no further. The escargot is simply divine, and the bacon-wrapped dates are out of this world—each bite is packed with flavor and care. But what really sets JeanPierre’s apart is the atmosphere and the people. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel like family—warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. And the chef? He personally greets guests, adding such a thoughtful, personal touch to the evening. Whether you’re in the mood for something dramatic and romantic or calm and beautiful, this restaurant delivers it all. The ambiance is absolutely stunning, and it’s clear that every detail, from the food to the service to the setting, is crafted with love. JeanPierre’s isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience.”

“First time ordering food from this place and it was pretty good! I went with my husband and friends to order take out (they've eaten here already once) and found myself in shock with how much they had to offer on their menu. Between burgers, cheesesteaks, sandwiches, and seafood baskets, you can order whatever you're feeling in the moment if you're not exactly wanting a burger.

I got myself the pepper jack cheese steak as a combo meal with fries. I feel like there was more onions than meat, and the filling overall was strongly seasoned, otherwise the cheese ratio and how it filled the sandwich bun was just right. I loved the crispiness of the fries, they reminded me of KFC fries. My husband and fries all ordered themselves burgers and they all enjoyed their meals.

The offer stamp cards and we were able to earn some stamps during our visit. I'd love to return in the near future to try something new!”

“I’ve NEVER been that impressed even at 5 star restaurants! Chrissie and her crew were radiant! The food (1/2 chicken katsu 1/2 garlic chicken) was sumptuous and exquisite. It was a dreary Friday 13th with rain when I stopped by to eat but I left feeling like I was just in Hawaii! I will come again for a visit even from as far as Seattle!!”

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. Caught exhausted, biking from one of my missions I have never observed such a thrivent atmosphere where they kept my glass full. I've never had cashews in my stir fry before and it was the most filling food I've had in such a unique place. Close to the gym, secluded by one of the best places to catch the tumwater sunset, and some of the best orange chicken I've ever had. Their kitchen is both professional, but homely and offers a great space for both take out and dine in seating.

My thanks to the staff and the people who make this place an incredible place to eat. I wish I could leave six stars for all they do in the community.”

“We just started coming here a couple weeks ago and thoroughly enjoy their patio and the fact that they have a pet area. The servers are super attentive and circle every 5 (if they're busy it might be 10 minutes). Their food is very reasonable in a world of overpriced food and mediocre service. Their menu is pretty limited but their daily specials are very reasonable.”

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

“Ordered take out from this place. All things we ordered were pretty tasty. Ramen, sushi, terriyaki all great. Online ordering is very easy to use and it took only 15 minutes for the food to be ready.”

“I got Thai soup with seafood to go. It was so delicious! I can't wait to return here! The parking lot was almost full but I had a couple spots to pick from. Next time I will bring a date and dine in.”

“I love the flavor of their coffee. Everyone is very friendly and efficient. Obviously a lot of other people love their coffee too because it gets pretty busy there. 😊”

“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.”

“Amazing staff and coffee!”

“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”

“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.”

“Barista was very friendly and kind. Coffee is good.

Issue — menu and barista provided unclear pricing expectations.

Menu lists 16 oz drinks for X price. Asked barista if 16 oz drink comes with 2 shots. Barista said 2 shots.

Got bill and it was around $1.50-$2.00 more than I expected.

Charged for extra shot.

Also charged for card use (under $10).

That’s fine, but it would be nice to have that clarity from the beginning. Here’s a suggestion to how the conversation could go:

Customer: “hi, does the 16 oz mocha come with 2 shots?”

Barista: “it comes with 1 shot, but I can add another shot for X (price)”

Customer: “okay, I’ll stick with 1 shot, thank you”

Barista: “that’ll be X total, cash or card?”

Customer: “card, please”

Barista: “great. Do note that for totals under $10 we charge a 40 cent processing fee”

Customer: “cool, thanks for the info!”

Again, coffee was good. And this extra information might even be on the menu (unsure, hard to see when it’s on a sign that’s behind where someone pulls up). This is a brief suggestion for how the whole customer experience is. And those little tidbits of info are super helpful, at least speaking for my experience.”

“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!!!!! 😁”

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

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

“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! 😂”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Beautiful Americano and tasted great too!”

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

“Walking through the door, we were immediately greeted by a friendly waitress who was ready to help us order and answer any questions we had about the menu. Not only did the place smell amazing walking in, but it was also very delicious.The house dressing that came with the salads was spot on not to sweet with a hit of sesame in there. The portions are worth every penny spent. Very clean and quiet. Low lighting made it great for people with sensitive eyes and / or just don't want it to be obnoxiously bright. Would recommend on all platforms to go try them out.”

“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!”

“The gentleman behind the cover was working really hard to get cinnamon rolls out for customers in a timely manner. And even though it was a hot day and he was pretty slammed he was kind and kept a cheerful smile on his face. I appreciated all his help and the yummy cinnamon rolls!”

“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!”

“Fish & chips or Halibut & chips really good. Pizza good. More to pick from, everything we've tried has been good. Service is good if their not too busy. Parking lot - free. We enjoy coming here.”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“This is my favourite spot, something about it is so special and the food is amazing. Love it and I hope to still come here in 20 years and it be exactly the same.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“Just had this for the first time, we got take out, BEST BBQ PLACE I HAVE EVER HAD. It was so good, I’m drooling just writing this. They were amazing at pick up and my allergy kiddo (eggs and peanuts) was able to safely eat and experience this meal with us!! It’s amazing, they even went out of their way and checked the label for eggs to make sure for me. I HIGHLY recommend this amazing place!!”

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

“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”

“I was heading to Seattle and stopped here for lunch. I got the salmon poke and it's was delicious. Fresh and well balance dish. Definitely would come back to this place while traveling from Vancouver to Seattle. Shoot, I'll get some on the way back home.”

“Buena atención y los desayunos perfectos y ricos”

“This is our third time to this store. We like spending 2hr drinking coffee and playing in the shade. I always have my dogs and drink my coffee outside and I can really appreciate when I can go to Starbucks and function. The workers here are friendly the atmosphere is great my coffee tastes good and some of the friends neighbors that come through to get coffee was nice to meet them too. Thanks”
