50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants 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!“

“Wife gives this place a 5.

But, they teased me about making up my own drink order. I wanted a black forest mocha. They said they didn't know what that was. I guess chocolate and cherry flavor that has been associated with that title has somehow traveled across the globe from Germany, but managed to elude contact with Tumwater, WA.

Anyway, they make good coffee, but don't know common (IMO) drinks and don't have any prices posted. I give them a 3 ?“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Willis makes the best scones I have ever tasted, the coffee is also very good!
We discovered his bakery by chance, the atmosphere is him and his music!
I would stop in Olympia just for his scones. His suggestion of seeing Tumwater falls was appreciated. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Stopped by for the first time today. Ordered the lunch for 2. 2 salads 2 drinks, and a Hawaiian pizza, we also tried the CBT hot spots. everything was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend“

“Food A+ perfectly cooked generous 12oz NY steak & Blackened rockfish! Flavor excellent on all sides. Server A+, this was our first visit and Victoria helped with all our questions like family. After ordering the wait for food was long but we were in no hurry. It would have been nice to have something to nibble on. We hadn’t expected the wait so we didn’t order bread or salad, everything is extra. The place could use something acoustic to cut the noise a notch, simply voices overwhelm the place. Music from the venue next door wasn’t a distraction, it was fine. Parking can be difficult. All in all, we will be back for the A+ parts make it way worth the visit.“

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!“

“Great fish & chips! Always nice service, relaxed and down home atmosphere.“

“I tried vans burgers for the first time last night and loved it! I have been wanting to try it for a while I just never got around to it. The staff working last night were personable and I enjoyed chatting with her! I did not get her name 🥺
I am a burger snob and I thought they were fantastic, the French fries were delicious also! Next time I come I will be trying one of their shakes!“

“the food here is SOOOO GOOD! It's a vegan café but im not even a vegetarian and I love to eat here. The mashed potatoes and gravy are my go-to for yummy comfort food, with a glass of wine of course. The Large Marge buffalo salad is my daughter's fave! It's a groovy joint where everyone feels comfortable:) Check it out!“

“Last night we got burgers, fries, and a milkshake to share. Loved everything about it. The bun super soft, the shoestring fries crispy and hot, and the milkshake was to die for. Grill and Greens has come back with a bang!“

“We bought a bike from Chaz last week and it was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely going back for another one soon!!“

“Fantastic lunch the other day waiting on a glass chip to be repaired. got to talk to the owner and just had an overall wonderful time. Will be back!“

“Just visited tonight and as always, loved the food and service! Super sweet waitresses and delicious food. I ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and a plate of crab rangoons. My friend ordered the beef bulgolgi. We were both surprised at the fast service and generous portions. It's not often that my friend and I get to go out to eat, but I'm so glad that we chose koibito 🤤“

“A unique pop up bar that has up to 24 taps or less for smaller events it appears. The truck has taken credit for all my visits so no need for cash. assortments from pils to barrel age. If you see it out, you should stop here“

“We usually make our own espresso at home, but our machine broke and we've been waiting for our new one to arrive. Cruzin has kept us sustained with DELICIOUS coffee for the last two weeks and really helped us through this rough patch. lol. Also, my apologies that my husband forgot his wallet the other day. thank you for still having my coffee for him when he got back with it.“

“Treat your self to a delicious experience. This menu and the folks that will create your meal and more are delightful.“

“Good good ,very tasty. Staff was helpful. Will definitely visit again . You might want to at least add one handicap table for those of us who can’t sit on the short stools.“

“This tavern is a gem. The food is cooked with care and you can tell when you get it. The brussel sprouts are a huge hit at any time. I tried a "special" called the CodFather yesterday with a hand battered piece of cod, topped with fresh sliced pastrami and some cheese on a slathering of coleslaw on a bun. It absolutely works!“

“Whenever we travel through Olympia or spend a little time there, the Tiny Taproom at Whitewood is a must stop. They make incredible ciders and there is something for everybody. Situated right next to a pod of food trucks, so there's always something tasty to nosh on if you need a bite. 10/10, we love Whitewood!“

“Every bite of Miso is the equivalent of your taste buds having a rave inside your mouth.“

“Cascadia Grill was amazing! Everything is available gluten free and there is a vegetarian and vegan menu. The staff were all so friendly and genuine. I got the Indochine baguette sandwich which delicious. My partner got the gluten free fried chicken creole sandwich and said it was the best she'd ever had.“

“Best burger ever in washington state been her 9 years and not one spot has ever deserved a 5 star
Rating. Do your taste buds a favor and visit this spot. The dinosaurs give it a super cool environment first time there but definitely will be back.“

“The BEST mexican restaurant, we have been to many, in Thurston county.“

“Varun is a Master at creating delicious food, and makes it look easy, We love eating here, because it is so special each time. I have a hard time deciding what to order because so many things “speak to me” on the menu. And I’m vegetarian!😁 I heard they are starting a dosa menu soon! Yum!! 😋 Keli and Varun are always so friendly and accommodating. I would 100% recommend this place. Best food in Olympia!“

“Took my boys here for some brunch and I had there chicken curry croissants, it was absolutely delicious, along with a blended chi frappe that as well was amazing. Their customer service was great and the environment was welcoming. I’d definitely recommend this place to friends and family.“

“I normally don’t do reviews but i need to today. I come to this stand a lot and I’m always greeted well. Everyone is always so amazing. I went in yesterday because I’ve been having a rough couple of days and decided I wanted a treat. The guy taking my order asks me how I was doing and I responded how I was having a rough time. He was incredibly kind. Normally I don’t really talk like that but yesterday I decided to be honest. I go to pay and he tells me he is covering it. I truly hope this doesn’t get him in trouble but I cried on my way home. Last week for me as been really challenging mentally and it’s been a lot. A simple act of kindness. It meant everything. I never got his name but if the staff reads these. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Also my coffee is of course is delicious as they always make my coffee drinks exactly how I want it. Forever will go to this Dutch bros. Y’all are amazing people.“

“We went yesterday for lunch. sat in the bar and had the best service and the food was amazing. We ordered the King crab boil, steamed clams, cup of chowder and oyster shooters. I didn't get our bartender/servers name but her mom was a treat to meet too. By far, the best time I've had there.“

“I always make it a point to go to Row when in town on business. Staff is always good and so is the food. But, today was different. Long day at work for an audit. I had a raging headache. Sat at the bar, ordered a dirty martini from Tyler. He did the usual follow up. I told him, long day, just chilling, keep the glass full, and I’ll let you know the rest. He understood the assignment. For that, he gets a gold star. Thanks again.“

“Great New York style pizza.“

“A+ vegan milkshake and what cute colorful unassuming vibes! when i went the options were vanilla and strawberry, i got vanilla. best in town by a long shot (i think the only other place that makes one is wayside and it just did not work for me)“

“Nice Brewery with good indoor and outdoor spaces by the marina. Pizza was good but nothing special. Wish the beers were colder. Love my beers ice cold, and that seems hard to find in the area. Service was great. Overall, a popular spot and worth visiting.“

“Amazing people , good food“

“Friendly staff and a good drink!“

“2 Mile House Pub & Eatery is a casual bar in Olympia with a friendly staff, unpretentious atmosphere, and simple but satisfying pub grub menu. They offer daily specials, a pool table, and a small outdoor area. While it might not be the fanciest spot in town, it's a great place to unwind and have a good time with friends.“

“The food was very fresh and so flavorful, my husband had a carne asada torta he absolutely loved the fresh bread it was a packed sandwich. I don’t eat meat much so they custom made me a meatless torta the beans are so good and the bread. My son had a chicken quesadilla and we all shared an order of potato taquitos. Yes we like to eat and everything was delicious. We took our order to go and drove 7 miles back home the food was still very warm. Well be visiting again.“

“True neighborhood bakery. Delicious desserts and food. Friendly and spot on customer service.“

“Some of the most creative pizza choices you will find with one of the best SOURDOUGH crusts you will ever taste. It is a taphouse so beer choices wil change, check untapped to see the ever-changing choices available. Options for kids, family friendly, plenty of seating, salads that are also delicious and.... cheese curds with hot honey an option you didn't know you needed until you try it. Great atmosphere and the staff has always been amazing. I've been going since day one and have never had a bad experience. Great memories are made here. Cheers.“

“This was my first visit, definitely not my last. I ordered the turkey pesto sandwich with a cup of the loaded baked potato soup, delicious! Sooo nice being able to dine out knowing I’m able to eat anything on the menu…gluten free! Staff is friendly & the atmosphere is cozy!“

“Love this place, patio year round (covered, heated) and friendly indoor space. Local hangout for the area. Can bring food from the carts outside. Don't forget to check out the to go beer/wine as well as the taps. They also have non alcoholic options.“

“Great New York style pizza.“

“Great selection of 3Mag and guest beers. Highly rated NA beers. Friendly place. As of 1/23, snacks but bring your own food. Also frequent popup food service. Check their Facebook page.“

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in Thurston County.“

“Best omelettes ever and my coffee cup was never empty. Jessie and the staff make sure you get a smile when you come in.“
