Carrie was rude saying they didn't open unit 8 when she clearly was close enough to allow us to come in and have coffee while she completed her tasks. My mother and I were meeting for breakfast she was coming from chehalis and I from the beach. Carrie does not deserve a tip and she should be scolded for her service. This is tourist season and I can tell you from the experience I am starting with I won't be back for seconds. I came here because I heard how nice this place was, but it isn't if Carrie is your only option. She is terrible.

Best sandwiches and even better service! This was our first time here and we will be coming back:)…read moreWe ordered the grilled ham and cheese and the tosi sandwich and both were amazing.

Thank you, Yelp, for another good find. When the 1st review talked about a great BLT I knew we had…read moreto try it. It's a charmingly decorated restaurant in an old house. Service was prompt and friendly. The menu is limited, but the sandwiches offered sounded good. We each ordered the BLT, as recommended, it was really good. My companion particularly enjoyed the house made bread. We also indulged in their raspberry lemon cake. Lots of raspberries in the cake itself and topped with a very lightly sweet frosting, raspberry jam, and nice tart lemon curd. Overall a totally positive experience. I'm happy to recommend it to you.

The eggs were cooked perfectly, not overdone, but still properly cooked, and everything was well seasoned without being too heavy or overpowering. The portions are also incredibly generous for the price. On our first morning, my dad ordered a short stack with eggs, and when it came out he just stared at the plate like, "How am I supposed to eat all of that?" Great food, excellent value, and absolutely worth coming back for. My dad and I both agreed this was an easy 5-star breakfast spot.

Location is definitely not glamorous, but interior is clean and the service was attentive. I was…read moreheaded to the airport and needed something quick and filling. This fit the bill! I got a bowl of clam chowder, a side salad, and a Dr. Pepper. Chowder was hot and tasty, though I wish there were more clam pieces. Pretty standard chowder overall. Side salad was also standard. The whole experience was exactly what I needed: a quick, filling meal that didn't break the bank.

Took my BFF out for her birthday to Lemon Hill Restaurant next door to my apt. We didn't have…read morereservations, but just walked in; and the Chef said yes to our unplanned late last table arrival. It was either a two-course or a three-course meal $29 +$47 respectively. We did 3 each starting with homemade pimento cheese with celery sticks, sweet peppers sliced, and crustini. I'm not a big fan of the jarred commercial pimento cheese. This was extremely good. Tasting the peppers inside the cheese ball that you choose how and where to spread it. B+ maybe even A- for the flavor of the cheese and presentation. 2nd Course of shrimp etouffee. It was okay but too thin of a sauce due to a not dark enough roux. Flavors are spot on, shrimp are tender and delicious. A- for the effort to take on roux dishes. 3rd Course was a delicate hazelnut chocolate mousse in a champagne fluted crystal glass. Topped with a light whipped cream to find the dessert level. It had multiple layers of flavor in different areas of the mouth and nasopharynx. A+ for presentation and depth of flavor in a chocolate pudding! Cup of coffee to end the meal, so really 4 courses. The bookstore surrounds the entire restaurant. Very unique experience. Get reservations or try your luck with the Chef near 6:15 pm for a late exception allowed to slip in. Monthly menu then changed up, only work dinner shift on Fridays. Rest is lunch for Courthouse folk. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Overall Score A PS. There were other choices but I didn't try them so, another review for the future... Usually I photograph the food and menu, glucose meter said low so we ate in haste to also not keep entire restaurant open for just us, which we did anyways. And, chef and waitress were great at conversing while closing. PPS. I lived in NOLA next-door to Tulane University and two houses from St Charles Streetcar for 3 years, and have been chef of restaurants in past. Roux Cajun style is an artwork I love and understand

The turkey and spinach crepinettes were flavorful and the housemade cranberry mustard was the perfect accompaniment. The French potato salad and haricot vert were nice sides.

And then there's the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding. Sigh

You will find this place on the right side of Olympic Hwy before reaching Aberdeen. We were heading…read moreto a game at Aberdeen and wanted to grab something before start of the game. Cheap burgers. We ordered couple of cheeseburgers, chicken and a garden burger with fries on the side. Wait time was long; there were no other customers - still they took almost 15-20 mins to get us the food. We planned to dine in but then later picked it up as take out due to the delay. Coming to the burgers - loved the food. Nothing to complain about. Really enjoyed the freshly made hot burgers. Shame we couldn't enjoy it while sitting there than from a moving car. Small place with a handful of tables. Very casual ambiance. Looks like a take out place than a dine in. Staffs were very friendly. Despite the delay, I am rating them high for the great burgers they made that day!

We were on our way to the airport after visiting a weeks in Forks & were looking for a decent place for breakfast. Rusty popped up on Google, it was right off the interstate so we popped in. Glad we did. Food: fantastic! Between us we had the shrimp salad, Belgian waffle, French toast, chicken fried steak, and a cinnamon roll. The waffle was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside; the hashbrowns were crispy, not mushy; let's just say we all devoured the food. Service: Angel was wonderful. Very friendly, smiling the entire time, and attentive. Ambiance: cool decor in- & outside, great patio area, and plenty of parking.

Smittys In & Out is exactly the kind of old-school drive-in that is getting harder and harder to…read morefind. Tucked away in Elma, Smitty's has that classic small-town, roadside burger-joint appeal that makes stopping there feel like part of the experience rather than simply grabbing another fast-food meal. The simple drive-in setup, casual atmosphere, and straightforward menu give the place a genuine nostalgic charm. The prices are another big reason to like Smitty's. You can get a satisfying burger-and-fries meal without feeling like you are paying premium modern day inflation price. The same burger fry and shake would be 50%-100% more in cost in Tacoma or Seattle. The portions are generous, and the food delivers the kind of comfort-food experience you want from a local drive-in. The burgers are definitely the highlight. They are flavorful, have that grilled taste, and have that classic burger-joint taste that you just don't get from the big national chains. Whether you go with a basic burger or something more loaded, the quality and flavor make it clear that Smitty's knows what it is doing. The menu also has plenty of classic sides and other options if you want to mix things up. The wait time was perfectly reasonable for a small, popular drive-in. Smitty's prepares food to order, so you may have to wait a little longer than you would at a typical fast-food chain, but that is a tradeoff I am happy to make for hot, fresh food. It never felt like an unreasonable wait, and the friendly staff made the experience even better. The service was good. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which adds to the small-town character of the restaurant. There is something refreshing about getting good food from people who actually seem happy to have you there. Overall, Smitty's is a great example of what a local drive-in should be: old-school atmosphere, reasonable prices, tasty burgers, fresh comfort food, friendly service, and a relaxed small-town feel. It may not be the fastest stop in town, but the combination of quality, value, and nostalgia makes it well worth the visit. If you are passing through Elma, Smitty's is absolutely worth stopping for.
