Got the 20 piece Chicken and Jos, large onion rings and some extra rolls, fed 9 adults with leftovers! Not only was everything hot and crispy, but service was outstanding! Thank you so much for serving that excellent chicken! My family dinner night with adults siblings and parents went off perfectly. All smiles for a very reasonable price! Love this place! Check it out! read more

Had business in Tacoma and thought I would try something new. I came across this place and it appeared to be a diner out of time. There was potential here. A little modernization in the décor would really boost this spot. Picture of old Tacoma and tribal land would endear this place to the community. Service was friendly, although a little slow. I reviewed the menu ahead of time, so I knew what I wanted to try and that was the burger dip. I have to tell you, it was disappointing. My favorite dip is in Bellevue at Lil Jon's and it's called the Yankee Dip. Ground Sirloin on a hoagie roll, that is what I expected here, but what I got was ground beef on a soggy sandwich bun. It would have been better on a hamburger bun. That thick white bread just does not compliment the sandwich and left me regretting my choice. The au jus also had no flavor. I had to add a generous amount of salt to wake it up. So much so that the retired man at the table in front of me eye's got wide as I continued to shake salt into the bland broth. The jojo's were crispy, but also bland. Typically, the seasoning has a zesty kick, but again no flavor here. In the end, everything was served hot as advertised. But I'd give these guys a 2/10 on flavor. The breakfast here looked better and the thing about eggs is they are never seasoned, so adding salt and pepper isn't a big deal. This place is out of the way and if I happened to be in the area and felt like giving them another try, I would skip the lunch/dinner and roll the dice on breakfast. My server did ask if my food is good, but what do you say, it's bland, I don't like it, or not good? I believe I said it's fine, because in my experience it's just a conversation that goes nowhere. Not the worst meal I've had, otherwise the rating would be lower, but I know a college cafeteria could serve a more impressive meal, for a lot less. read more

I ordered breakfast to go. Eggs like rubber -- supposed to be overeasy. No butter on the toast. No salt and pepper packets. Inspect your food before you leave their restaurant. Pride of service missing. read more

Ordered their turkey dinner special, it was delicious. The portions were great, moist and loaded with flavor. I also ordered a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream, that too was a deal for just $2 more with the turkey dinner special, and it was delicious. Service was outstanding and the staff was friendly and really made you feel like part of the family. I would highly recommend this restaurant, 5 Gold Stars! read more

My wife and I decided to come to Angela's for breakfast. We were greeted quickly and seated by our waitress. I had coffee and my wife had OJ and milk, along with water. My wife had the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast with diced potatoes and Fried Eggs and biscuits, along with extra gravy. I had the two scrambled eggs, two sausages and two pancakes (I think the #2?). Also a side of salsa. The coffee was great, and got a coffee pot of it for our table. Breakfast came quickly and my pancakes were HUGE! My wife loved her food and said it was the best Chicken Fried Steak she ever tasted. My breakfast was also great, and I almost couldn't finish it, but I managed...barely. lol. The restaurant was clean, service was wonderful and the food was superb. Thanks for a great breakfast. read more

Absolutely love this place. It's like a hidden gem in Midland Washington. They serve breakfast all day. I came here specifically for the fried chicken and JoJos and it did not let me down. Chicken was juicy, nice flavor, crispy skin really good. My only ask, if you provide some sort of buffalo sauce for those of us that like it spicy. I also got a blackberry pie because they make them fresh daily. And it was super awesome. I also ordered a side of mashed potato and brown gravy and it did not let down. I really enjoyed the fact of the food came out nice and hot. read more

I have lived in the area for almost my entire life and had never hit up this spot. They definitely have their regulars and the people working here are very friendly. We went for breakfast and unfortunately I don't really need to go back. The chicken fried steak was bland, the potatoes tasted funny, and the toast tasted like onions. However, my friend did like her biscuits and gravy, she is also someone who thinks black pepper is spicy. This just was not a hit out of the park for me but I always think everyone should go and try for themselves. read more

Anglea's - Crushed the chicken and Jo's! - Diners Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Just tried my first door dash of angle as. This was my first time tasting their food but after reading the reviews I had to give it a try. I ordered mashed potatoes with white gravy, SOS with eggs over easy and 4 piece fried chicken and joes. SOS was average which surprised me. Hash browns were typical frozen shredded, gravy didn't have the feel orc taste of home made even though I think it was and eggs were just eggs. I give it a 5 Mashed potatoes read more

Great diner food. Quick service, Peggy's cinnamon rolls in the morning and the best pies in the area. Decor is fifties diner.

Finally checked out the chicken & jo's at Anglea's in Tacoma off of Portland Ave. Fun experience. The fried chicken was really good. Loved the laid back diner atmosphere. They started me with 3 jo jo's at first and brought out 3 piping hot fresh ones shortly after. That cool sweet sour cream was a treat for dipping. The waitresses were absolutely sweet also! read more

First time lunch customer. Had their Monte Cristo sandwich with green salad. The bread for the sandwich tasted like a French toast with lots of ham,turkey, and cheese. Moist and juicy. Salad needs some improvements. Greens were ice berg lettuce, flooded with dressing and shredded mozzarella cheese. Will try the jojos next time and house made pies. Liked the red glitter chairs with chrome frames. Very nostalgic. Great service, ice tea fill ups and offering a to go container without asking. An observant wait person indeed. read more

This is a cozy diner serving some of the best fried chicken I've had. Can't wait to visit again. read more

If you are looking for Americana this is the place. Old school diner food for sure. I had the SOS an interesting interpretation but it was tasty and a good serving. They have in house pies and cakes that looked great. My girlfriend said they tasted good. They are real friendly here our waitress had worked there for 20 years. My mom who was with us recognized her from when she used to eat there years ago. If you are looking for a down home diner this is the place. read more

While vacationing in Washington state, celebrating the new year, 2025, we were in Tacoma and looking for an amazing diner and we found it! We were right at home here and welcomed in by Sue and Halley! Their warm, generous service is the best! We ordered their cranbird and vegetable beef soup combos and the sandwiches were loaded with moint turkey and delicious cream cheese and cranberry! The vegetable beef soup was hearty, delicious, and loaded with vegetables and chunks of beef! My wife enjoyed her grilled cheese sandwich too! We finished with their delicious blackberry pie heaping with hand-scooped vanilla ice cream and lemon cream pie, both super delicious and home made of course too! The ambience is very enjoyable with several locals frequenting this diner. We really enjoyed our dining experience here and will be back during our next visit to Tacoma! Thank you very much Sue and Halley for a wonderful dining experience! read more

Old-school diner vibe! I never knew this place existed but my buddy and I had breakfast there and it's worth a return trip! I had the Taco Omelette with home fries and it was terrific! Our server was prompt, super polite and the clientele was chill. They make pies, but I was too full to try a slice. Next time! read more

Don't bother to order anything customized. Female cook with nasty attitude refuses to read order tickets. Due to poor attitude of cook I decided it wasn't safe to eat food after it had to go back. Other than poor attitude of cook, place would have 5 stars read more

I go there mainly for the chicken and joes, very good and made to order,my family usually gets breakfast and they are large portions but chicken oh man! read more

Nice family grub grab. It was late, we were hungry, they were open. That's some pretty low hanging fruit. I called in our order and was told that it would be 30 minutes. I arrived at the 30 minute mark and waited another 10 minutes. OMG, it was worth every second of the wait. I was sent away with two giant bags of food, apparently they miss heard me when they asked my name. I told them David and I think they heard football team. There was certainly enough food to feed one. Not only was it plentiful, it was delicious. It was such a treat to be so warmly welcomed by restaurant staff when I was arriving so close to closing time. I'm looking forward to going back earlier in the day when we can sit and enjoy a meal in house. read more

I kind of avoided coming here for quite some time because the overall Yelp average was not favorable for it. But it has increased considerably. Steve mentioned it may have something to do with a change of ownership. Regardless what may have been involved I decided it was worth a try when it came to an overall star average of four stars. The set up is everything you could hope for with a diner. Nice booths, tables and seats with fresh and new upholstery of red on gray. Lots of very fine pies in a case in which we discovered did not disappoint when we took dessert home with us. The menu is what you would normally see at a diner. Sandwiches, hamburgers, fried chicken, omelets, chicken fried steak and salads make up much of the menu. Portions are generous! I got a Taco Salad and managed to finish almost all of it but alas my plate wasn't quite clean but I was just stuffed. Steve ordered some fried chicken and said it was the best he had in a restaurant in a very long time. He would have given the chicken five stars he said. It was indeed worth it. Our meals tasted fresh and were flavorful, that was for certain and was far from something lackluster in that department. Definitely will be coming back as we were very impressed with our meal here! read more

So we drove by this place many times but never stopped in. We decided to have an order to go. We called them and it would take 20 min to pick up. We ordered 6 piece chicken meal with JoJos. I am no chicken expert but my wife said it the best chicken she has ever eaten. JoJos second best. I too didn't care too much for the JoJos. I like mine more meaty but these seemed dried out. For the Sour Cream, they have their own recipe. I'm a traditionalist and want the glob of sour cream on my JoJo but each to there own. For the chicken, it's very juicy. I though it was oil coming out of it but my wife said that's the juices. Counter person was very friendly and the food coming out of the kitchen looked good. I never knew they served breakfast until today. That's being said, I always believed breakfast should be cheaper than dinner. I will go in and try their breakfast one day. read more

Delicious and friendly local and homage dessert! We had breakfast this morning, and it so good! Filled us up!

Omg! The absolute 100% best chicken in Washington state. Moist! Crunchy! Flavorful! We had 3 piece chicken and Jo's each. We are going home with 3 piece chicken and Jo's! AND 1 cinnamon roll and 1 caramel pecan cinnamon roll! Homemade! Also homemade cakes and pies available. Like I always say- I'm from the Midwest, I know good home cooking and this is it. Omg. So yum. read more

First off want to give credit for being in business since 1947!! Would have given 4 stars based on the famed Chicken & Joes and history alone but sad to say I'm not sure how a diner survives w/poor coffee (and bad burger). I even asked gal before ordering, she clearly stated as GOOD coffee. It came in thermos but not only barely warm but poor quality. I then asked if we could get actual cream ( I'm doing low carb) and she insisted it was. ......hhmmm, questionable and still didn't help coffee. Ok food arrived, hubby's 2-pc. Fried chicken breasts & joes look amazing. I was so jealous, all crispy golden juicy ($16) and lunch/dinner price/portion good. I ordered cheeseburger deluxe w/lettuce wrap (no bun) w/side salad. Burger came awkward w/romaine so had to use knife & fork, patty flavorless overcooked & dry. Thankfully the cheese, onion , Mayo helped..side green salad w/ranch generic. Server friendly but should have noticed my coffee cup still full and placed to take away entire service yet were still charged a shocking $7 for terrible barely warm Joe. Hubs Fried chicken & joes the savior for sure, very good . Menu prices overall are now just too much. Breakfasts, burgers, salads run about $16-17! Too many other better options to pay that here for anything other than the fried chicken. read more

I ordered the 25 piece chicken & jos. Disappointed. They such many small pieces & the oil didn't seem right and the Jos were overcooked. Not a good deal. read more

Fried chicken blew my mind. Delicious. I'm visiting family from MN and my cousin drove across town for it.

First and LAST time ordering here! Why would someone put BROWN and wilted lettuce on a hard, crusty, flavorless fish sandwich... and have the audacity serve it to paying customers? and what happened to the promised tartar sauce? 4pc chicken and Jojos were overcooked and flavorless as well. This is why I mostly cook at home now.... People just DO NOT care anymore. DO BETTER! Ridiculous. read more

I like to think of myself as a fried chicken connoisseur, so I had to try this place when I drove by and saw their sign boasting how good their fried chicken was. Fried chicken was ok, I wouldn't it say it's the best like their sign outside said, but it wasn't bad. Would I go out of my way to eat here again? No. I didn't hate it, it was light and crispy but it lacked flavor, which is a must for good fried chicken. read more

Anglea's is a staple of Tacoma's east side. They boast about having the best fried chicken around but many people go there for their all day breakfast options. I've actually never tried their bone-in fried chicken. I did have the tenders once and they were just okay. Every time I order breakfast here, it is always on point. Of course they use the standard FSA pre-packaged, delivered food but they know how to make it sing. My only issue and I take this with all restaurants these days is that they lack in the Keto and Carnivore options. Subbing toast and hash browns for more bacon isn't an option but a side of bacon for $8 is. If cinnamon rolls are vice, they have you covered, and the soups and pies are really good too. No matter what, Anglea's is a great value and the food is worth the money. read more

Excellent greasy spoon restaurant. Homemade pies, pressure cooked fried chicken. Great service.

Wife and I went to try this place out after Church today. Wife ordered chicken and waffles, which was over priced. The chicken was pretty good, however, the waffle was less than desirable. I ordered a double cheeseburger and fries. I DID NOT order a smash, torn up burger. The fries were over cooked and hard. As you can see in the pics, the burgers were broken up and pieced together. Why is that? Was my burger dropped and had to be put back together with some cheese added to give an appearance of it being edible? I asked the waitress if this is how you serve your burgers. Her reply was " well, we do make our burgers from scratch". When I said I have made many burgers from scratch and have never served burgers in pieces. She was like, maybe while flipping, they broke apart. Then she offered to replace it with some else off the menu. I just her no thank you, I'm good. I threw it away, uneaten. I paid full price for our food due to not wanting to make a scene over this crappy food. I WILL NOT be back, one and done! read more

Many of the staff have worked together for decades and know their lifetime customers names, orders, and preferences. We can still can find small town service in Tacoma 2025. They served a group of 55 for a gathering. We made a reservation and pre-ordered some of their iconic dishes chicken, jojo's, burgers, club sandwiches, fries, onion rings, pies, cinnamon rolls, and milkshakes. The food and service were exceptional as always. I got several calls and texts from people up to a week later telling me they loved the food, atmosphere, and friendly staff. I could not be more appreciative for all of their efforts to make our gathering so special. read more

I didnt expect this place to have the best fried chicken ever but here we are. Its roughly the same price as KFC but its much better in my opinion. If you come here you cant leave without trying a slice of their pie. Theyre all hand made every morning so the supply is limited. You want to make sure to get there early and try the chocolate cream pie. Its better than Cyrus O'Learey's read more

The chicken and Jo's are awesome. We get them often, anytime we're in the area. Good leftover the next day. Highly recommend the chicken, but if you're eating in, the rest of the menu is very good also, especially like it for breakfast read more
