“I love Jack's food, but sometimes the crew members don't help. The person who takes orders at night is somewhat surly. I feel sad, because even though the restaurant has good food, it isn't to blame for the way the staff treats the people I'm sorry Jack 😔😔“

“I would like to know why a person that has his coffee there every morning can not walk in and order his coffee to go while the shut Downs are going on he doesn't have a car cant go to drive up against your rules why🤝“

“Cute and clean with amazing food!“

“A big shoutout to Duke's Seafood Restaurant for their incredibly generous gift of gift certificates for our amazing teachers at Browns Point Elementary School! Your kindness truly helps us show how much we appreciate the hard work and dedication of our fantastic educators. We feel so lucky to have such a thoughtful partner in our community—thank you for making a difference!“

“Come and try some of the BEST burgers in Tacoma! Do not sleep on their smash burger version, stunning and tasty. The OG burgers still slay and the new items look amazing! Just eat HERE!“

“Dusty’s is great. The food is awesome and the staff are lovely… However, I am from out of town and I think I left my glasses there. I cannot get ahold of anyone on the phone or via FB. The phone number rings to a voicemail box that asks for a remote access code and no one has responded to my FB message. If someone sees this from Dusty’s please reach out. I’d like to know if my glasses are there.“

“Had such a great experience today! First time eating here. Probably the first time I saw that there wasn't a long line. But, after having eaten here i see exactly WHY its so popular. I very polite red curly haired kid took my order and my payment. His manners really stuck out to me. If more kids had manners and customer service skills like that the world would be a lot better. Anyway, besides the service.. the fries OMG. THe exact amount of crispness and soft potato inside, especially for being thin fries. Right about of salt and you could eat them with or without ketchup. And the burger.. its better than Frisko Free@e, but with that same local familiar taste...like your favorite uncle was on the BBQ grill at home (not dad, but cool uncle jerry was on the grill)!! When i looked inside I saw every person working as fast as they could. A great team for sure. Oh and the prices!! Jeez what a steal. My true recommendation is DONT PASS THIS UP. YOU CANT BEAT THE VALUE FOR THE QUALITY FOR THE SPEED OF SERVICE + the QUALITY of service . A+++. That kid at the window, his parents should be proud. Those business is doing it RIGHT!! LOD stool values and customer service. Im embarrassed for McDonald's being right across the street..they dont even compare!“

“My husband and I both got the 12 Burger. Soo delicious! The PB and jelly on the burger, with bacon and cheese. Best combo ever!! Only thing I would improve on was more jam. Asked for more, little too late, burger was 75% gone but was accommodated nonetheless. Def made a big improvement, even though it was delicious anyway. Cooked perfectly, as well. The fries were crisp and the garlic aioli was tasty! The service was friendly and efficient! Def will be back!!“

“I finally made it to Spanky's. I had a Bleu cheese double burger. It was the best burger I've had in awhile. The staff was polite and friendly. I will be back Thank You.“

“Went there recently and had a smash burger and fries, Willow was kind and service was phenomenal!“

“Just went there for the first time and we were super impressed with how fast our food came out! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, normally places have way too much eggs in them but not here! Perfect! Great coffee too. Our waitress was super kind and cool as well!

We will definitely be coming back.

Edit: I forgot to mention, bring cash to pay and your meal will be cheaper!“

“The Tacoma Brew is a staple in our home! ✌🏻“

“You cannot beat tri-tip ground everyday fresh“

“Van parked at Browns Point Market during Seahawks game primarily for food service at Latitude 47 which is beer only. Classic Burger deilvered to car within 7 minutes. Burger was very tasty and rivals/surpasses the other area hard facilities. Pricing competitive for quality burger.“

“Best Burgers ever!!!! I also had a Stout Milkshake 😍😍😍 So happy to find this place ❤️❤️❤️“

“Absolutely delicious!!! I had halibut with peach sauce, wild rice and arugula. Out of this world. I'm going back. Barry Doll had the duck. He loved it, but it's going off the menu. The menu rotates so you have to go often. We had the goat cheese appetizer. Perfection. The cheesecake with lemon for dessert. This is a great place to check out. We will be going back more often. Executive chef, Mike, has turned this place around. Such attentive staff that were working hard to help us enjoy our evening. Outdoor seating. Waterfront view. Must try...“

“I had a fabulous experience at the Lakewood Carls Jr. Mr. Rhett at the drive thru window was a phenomenal customer service extraordinaire! Dude was fast, efficient, and super kind. I couldn’t ask for better service. On top of that the burgers were bussin’ and the fries were super hot and fresh. They even made sure I got my sauce which is kind of a big deal to me. Thank you to Rhett and the Lakewood Carls Jr for servin it! <3“

“Asian owned, lots of Asian dishes available, in addition to burgers and fried seafood.
Large serving sizes. Good crinkle cut fries. Liked the fry sauce. Several flavors of milk shakes.
High counter and fixed tables might make wheel chair accessibility strenuous.“

“These are the best Phillies I have ever had in Tacoma Washington, great flavor; original was amazing and the mushroom Philly was my favorite. Burgers were also tasty but I recommend the Phillies are what is worth it here, fries are hella good too, onion rings were way overcooked so please fix that or maybe use more fresh oil because those onion rings were hard and crunchy.“

“The BEST food in Washington. Honestly was not expecting it to be as good as it was, if I didn't currently live across the country from them I would be there for all my meals!“

“great food and drinks. tonya is an awesome server!“

“Our group of 20 had an exceptional visit to Gig Harbor's Blazing Onion. Great food! Great staff! Great service! Our group of 20 recieved exceptional service despite it being a very busy Friday afternoon. The food and drinks were brought out quickly. The staff was incredibly attentive, very accomodating, engaging, and alot of fun! A great time was had by all. We look forward to coming back. Thank you Blazing Onion!“

“Best burger ever! I am not one to eat fast food. But I will go back for another burger!!“

“Amazing different kinds of lemonades and great food“

“We went here on a whim. Thank goodness, because it was the BEST garden burger I’ve had in YEARS! Actually maybe over a decade? The lettuce was delicately folded, the tomato seasoned. The patty was delicious. And huge! The fries were so good, and so was the fry sauce. I am so happy we stopped in! My kids loved their burgers and shakes. I am so excited to finally find a place to eat a delicious garden burger! It’s been years since I’ve been excited about a restaurant. The service was also top notch (they clearly care deeply and are knowledgeable and friendly). The space is clean and tidy. I can’t wait to come back. I just wish we lived closer!“

“This is a gem of a restaurant! It's unique and fun to eat breakfast or lunch. We ate there today, and were very pleased with the food and the service!! I love everything about Little Jerry's, and recommend it highly!“

“The poutine burger was very good and unique! Service was a miss when we were there, as we waited over 40 minutes after sitting for someone to take our order. The employees there seemed nice though and it was clean environment. Can't go wrong with the water being right outside for a nice walk after eating!“

“Great music, drinks and food! This is one of our favorite venues.“

“Excellent dinner beautiful presented and cooked to perfection. We will be returning very soon.“

“The food was excellent. The burger sliders were fabulous. Would definitely return. Service was fantastic. Love Griffin.“

“This was my birthday lunch today, and also my first visit after John and his son took ownership. I didn't think it was possible, but somehow the food is even better now. It's probably a good thing that I live thirty miles from this place.“

“Such a great place to take the family! Variety of burgers all are super tasty especially the Marsala chicken sandwich and the shakes are great!! Love having a game system at the table to keep the kids entertained while we waited just a short time for the food! Great service, comfortable atmosphere and incredible food!“

“I've lived in this neighborhood for 32 years. I've been eating these hamburgers and drinking these milkshakes with a smile on my face ever since Bob opened the doors in 2013. I've never gotten a bad meal or shake.“

“Came here for a quick bite the other day, and we were pleasantly surprised! I ordered the mozzarella sticks and a burger with sweet potato fries, while my husband had a burger with regular fries. Everything was really good, and we didn’t have to wait long at all, even though the place was busy.

The young lady working at the front was so sweet, friendly, and attentive. Great food, great service, and a nice overall experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“It was my first time there, and I had a great time! The management and staff were awesome and welcomed me with open arms. The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Everyone was friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to anyone looking for a fun night out! 🫡🫶🏻“

“We're DEFINITELY going to make it a HABIT!!! 1st time trying an our family 😍 it!“

“I had the best time today at Applebee’s in Lakewood I’ve been here plenty of times but the feel was way different than before. The face lift in the restaurant is very nice it’s an open space and you can see all throughout. The lighting is really nice and it’s inviting.

We had an appetizer of the new waffle fries loaded with this angry orchard white cheddar beer cheese sauce with so much bacon lol we didn’t stop. They will only be here for a short time! So come 😂 Could have but didn’t then my boyfriend had the lunch chicken sandwhich and fries and I hand the cheeseburger the chicken sandwich was huge the whole bird was on that thing lol and so good. We got two drinks and enjoyed the manager and our waitress Paige was amazing thanks for having us ❤ I ate everything else before taking a picture lol“

“Great service - University Place Applebee’s!“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“muy Buena comida la recomiendo los tacos estan deliciosos“

“It's a secret why I recommend them.“

“best pizza in Tacoma hands down awesome atmosphere and stiff drinks“

“We got there about 2: 00 am. They're open until 3:00 am. Definitely the place if you got a late night craving.
Great place the the lady and gentleman at the front counter we're very friendly.
They were helpful when trying to decide what I wanted to eat. I order the sourdough cheese and bacon burger meal.
I paid they gave me a number I sat down at a table.
Had a little conversation with a friend I was with. It was a great atmosphere wasn't too loud. Food came in less than 10 minutes. It was very good at a reasonable price.“
