Came here for brunch over the weekend and it was fabulous! The food was tasty, most of us ordered fish and chips, we also got traditional breakfast, eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy! Everything was tasty, affordable and with incredible views. It sweeps down across the golf course and down the Sound. The pricing felt very reasonable for the view, the inside was a bit dated but it's beautiful on the patio on a nice day! Our server was very nice and accommodating. Can't wait to come back on a warm summer morning! read more

Came to this restaurant with friends to have some drinks and appetizers on a Labor Day afternoon. We arrived at the restaurant and were greeted by the hostess who was less than friendly (meaning that it appeared she would rather be somewhere else than here). however, we were seated shortly after. After a short time, the server came to out table and took out drink orders. I chose the Bloody Mary first and then the Margarita after. The bloody Mary had an awesome piece of bacon and two olives. The drink however was weak in the vodka department. I wasn't impressed with the drink at all. The margarita was actually better and was served in a clay glass. This was really nice because it kept the margarita cold and the ice did not melt fast like it does in a glass. I definitely have to get a set of the clay glasses for home. The appetizers we ordered were the flatbread, some calamari, fried pickle spears, and some peach and cold cut stuff on bread (I don't remember what it was called). The fried pickle spears were great! The other stuff were not impressive at all (for me). The only way I can explain my dissatisfaction is that they. Could be great appetizers, but in their attempt to be fancy, they added something that just ruined the flavor of the dish. I've been here before for lunch in the past and had the burger, and it was okay, but nothing to rave about. My second visit here was my attempt to give it a second chance. The view from the outdoor seating is spectacular. The Puget Sound and the treeless golf course makes it a great place to watch the boats and golfers. There is no shade, so wear a hat if visiting outside seating.. I can't say that everyone will have my experience here. Is this restaurant worth a try? Yes, it is worth a try if here playing golf or find yourself in the area. I just wouldn't go out of my way to dine or have drinks at this restaurant. The Tacoma and surrounding area have much better restaurants at more reasonable prices. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant however the experience slightly fell short. I ordered the ahi nachos was surprised by the obscene amount of fried chips that came with the dish. I did like the large pieces of ahi, avocado, mango, and seaweed salad sprinkled on top of the nachos. The service was a slow and request for a water refills took a little longer. I was considering ordering a cocktail, however decided not to as it may increase the wait time. Despite the long wait, the servers were very nice, I would definitely come back and retry this restaurant and see if the experience is different and warrant read more

Came here for Father's Day brunch with a reservation and were seated outside on a beautiful day. We were greeted and seated fairly quickly, and our server was initially attentive when taking our drink and food orders. However, the dining experience quickly went downhill. Although we specifically asked for our soups to come out first, they were brought to the table just minutes before our entrées, making it hard to enjoy either properly. What stood out even more was watching several tables, all seated after us, receive their food well before we did. It's hard to ignore the pattern, especially when none of those tables looked like ours. To make matters worse, I found a hair embedded in my burger patty. While the server was apologetic and took it back right away, it was understandably off-putting. The food had potential, but that, combined with the service dynamic, left a bad impression. It's disappointing, especially since this isn't the first time I've heard similar experiences from other friends who have dined here. It gives the unfortunate impression that not all guests are treated equally, and that's not something I can overlook. I won't be returning. read more

First thing to recommend Chambers Grill -- the view!!! OMG on a beautiful morning or twilight there's simply no better place to be than overlooking Chambers Bay. Second is the breakfast. It is SO HARD to find a good breakfast in Tacoma or University Place. It's not so hard if you're looking for greasy spoon diner eggs and bacon but otherwise not so easy. But then we checked out Chambers Bay Grill one Sunday morning and I had an AMAZING avocado toast. Truly truly delicious. Now I've seen it mentioned in another review as not so great so maybe it's inconsistent. But I tell you, the day that I had it -- it was the bomb. Plus we had a mimosa and that was delish too. Only downside? What PNW restaurant doesn't have an espresso machine????? Years ago (like 8?) they told me their machine had broken. And since then they just haven't offered espresso drinks. Seriously folks, this is Tacoma. And I live in the neighborhood and if they served good espresso, I'd seriously be there ALL THE TIME. read more

After a wonderful walk on the trail around the golf course we decided to stop by the restaurant for a cold beer. The outside patio was completely empty of patrons we chose a table and settled in to enjoy our beer and the view. Shortly after, we were told to relocate to the lower level if we weren't going to order food. The request felt extremely judgmental assuming we weren't spending enough money to sit on the upper level. The request was followed with a snide remark which made us feel even less welcome. It's sad they really could use the customers. read more

The Grill has one of the most beautiful views but..... that is where the accolades stop. The grilled salmon was so overcooked and dry, that it could not eaten. The other person ate a little but she was also very hungry but still could not eat very much. And this is the 2nd trip to this restaurant and they are consistently bad. If I was to guess, the cook just does not seem to care about he or she's quality of work. And when you think about it, who is responsible for ensuring the product being used is fresh and up to date? Who is responible for the cleanliness of the cooking area? And this will sound hard to believe but there is a friend who has been there 5 times, twice for business occasions so they had no choice vut to go and it was bad all 5 times. All 5 times. I'm not even sure how that is possible and then, still stay in business. But the Grill is also part of one the highest rated golf courses in Washington State. If it was not for that, this restaurant would be out of business. This restaurant really needs to take ownership of what they are providing to the public. read more

We had dinner there last night, the service was good and the food was overall good (had a Rueben, shrimp tacos- both solid- and fish and chips that were over battered/fried - just ok). We were really surprised that a golf course of this caliber doesn't have a more memorable dining experience. Wouldn't have to be anything fancy but could be so much better. The view is amazing (they have windows with a view but could be better, even the furnishings are very mediocre). read more

not a fan of brussel sprouts but the ones they serve here are by far the best I've ever had. I drove 1.5 hr to meet friends here & had a great time. read more

The food is fair, the quality is fair, the service is fair. They haven't progressed the menu. It's like they are stuck in 2005. I don't think it's necessarily a fault of the employees. It's just the way it is there. read more

Steak was over seasoned. Too salty and I like salt! The pasta dish had no flavor and was dry. Asked for more cream sauce and it was runny and flavorless as well. The view is what brings people here to enjoy a lovely meal. The view was spectacular; the food left a lot to be desired sadly. read more

We got done after a 7 seas sponsored event and ordered food to go. It took them until 9:45pm; exactly 48 minutes after we ordered, to tell us that the kitchen/cooks didn't get our order we placed at 8:56pm and it would be another 20 minutes for our food; the food we ordered, to go... (tee time at 6:10pm, ended at 8:45pm). We made it clear that we wanted our food to go as we weren't looking to stay. and I honestly think they just didn't want to give us the 15% discount that came w/ the event. So I would rate this place a zero out of ten. The bartender was a little too friendly, and the hostess wasn't friendly enough. All in all I'd call it a professional course w/ amateur employees, as even the shuttle bus was not "to par". Even the guy who was supposed to give us swing tips (included w/ event) fell short of our expectation. I honestly get better service from metro park golf course down the road; then these shmucks at this "establishment" Yikes! I'm sure people who "look like" golfers have a great time........... read more

We made a reservation for brunch to celebrate, having visited the area a few times and wanting to dine with a view. The view of the Sound from the restaurant is priceless. We're glad we made reservations because it saved us some of the wait time since there was a line when we arrived and there aren't too many seats inside. I imagine eating here during the summer would be even better because they have a lot of outdoor seating. While it's not exactly fine dining, it has a sports restaurant feel and is very welcoming to families, including a kids menu. The menu items were fairly pricey for brunch but their sizes are large enough to share. We were hungry so we ordered a lot and enjoyed it. read more

I had Chambers Bay Grill on my bookmarks and it wasn't really because I heard good things about it but it was more of a draw and an excuse (not that one was needed) to go to Chambers Bay itself which is just so very beautiful so that association alone is what prompted me to add this place. And the hope that a lot of gophers that go here the restaurant just may be getting a bad rap for no reason. But alas the reviews and overall average didn't exactly lead me wrong at all. Some of the complaints that people indicated in their reviews I didn't detect but my own disappointment was with the food. I am not a huge breakfast eater anyway but I do like Avocado Toast around the morning hours and that is what I got. The avocado itself was made into a spread on my toast which is normal for this dish but unfortunately avocado and how it tastes can be a tricky one. The avocado on my toast didn't taste fresh at all but more something that was less on the natural side and loaded with preservatives. There was also an odd olive or oily flavor to the avocado which was totally out of place for this dish. I ate it all but it was not all that impressive. Steve got a breakfast burrito and we both decided we liked that dish was one we liked better over mine. But rather than having salsa to go with the burrito it was accompanied by ketchup? Another head scratching moment. Despite the placement of the restaurant you don't get much view of Chambers Bay at all if you sit inside but it looks like in the summer you can sit outside and get the view in then. But perhaps just get drinks... there are better restaurant options not far away from the park. read more

We went for my Human's birthday weekend! It was gorgeous despite having to sit inside. The service was quick, the Bloody Mary was really yummy. We order 2 entrees, Bloody Mary, and a cider. I think our favorite part was the service as well as the PoTaToeS!!! It was a tri-mix of purple, regular, and yams! They were roasted to perfection with the perfect amount of salt and seasoning! We enjoyed it thoroughly! Definitely will be back when outdoor seating is open! read more

Came around 4:45pm, sun was not set yet, and just wanted a quick appetizer & drink and they didn't seat us. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth when a restaurant does that to me and will not be coming back. They need to change their times to "closes at 4:30pm". read more

The deck with view seating is a very nice experience. The menu could use some more creative input. Shoestring fries are the worst imo. I would take a survey on that one if I was the GM. I love reubans but I had to pick most of that thick, hard, unappealing bread off to eat it. The best part was the bottle of vioginier wine placed in a vessel with ice. Overall, a pleasant experience. Returning today for HH. read more

Sat outside on a sunny but windy day. Prompt friendly service. Food was good - a notch above bar cuisine. I like to go there because of view, reasonable cost and quality - hope they will reintroduce the crab/ shrimp Louie salad again! read more

Overall great food but the service was okay. My sister and I had to ask multiple times for ranch but that was it. We truly enjoyed the view, it was a gorgeous day but windy so I was thankful we were inside in the AC instead of outside. read more

I recently ate here after walking around chambers bay with my friend. I expected better food and better service, especially since it was not busy. Both of us had empty water/coffee glasses/cups a couple times. Not a big deal, but it was empty. Take care of the guests you have. The food was fine but both of our eggs were overcooked. She ordered hers over easy and mine poached. Eggs are pretty simple and theres not much excuse to overcook them...the poached eggs were just under hard boiled. The over easy egg, the yolk was almost completely solid as well. My veggies were all pretty good although i wished it was served with some pico de gallo instead of ketchup. It was also lacking in seasoning. I appreciated that the fruit was berries and not a melon mixture that is more common. I might go here again if i was walking there but i certainly would not go out of my way to eat here. read more

On August 15, 2024, my wife and I tied the knot at Chambers Bay, marking a remarkable next stage in our 45 year saga. We approached Emily and her events team at the Chambers Bay Grill to nail down the venue barely two months before the ceremony. We were lucky that our chosen date was available, perhaps only because we specifically targeted August 15, which happened to fall on a Thursday, not the most sought-after date for a wedding. The staff at the Grill didn't blink. They worked with us to corral the necessary Chambers Bay infrastructure, and coordinated closely with our event company and other vendors to put together an outdoor wedding overlooking the expanse of the course, the bay and the Olympics, followed by a reception in a magical tented venue open on the bay side featuring, as it turned out, a stunning view of the perhaps the most beautiful Pacific Northwest sunset we've ever seen. The Grill also had the all-important role of catering the reception, smoothly managing pre- and post-ceremony appetizers and drinks, later serving up a rich buffet according to an extensive menu we'd chosen from beforehand; From tender beef tips to succulent scallops and pasta, accompanied by a wide array of sides. If you're getting married, and you're looking for a unique, bespoke venue, take the time to pay a visit to Chambers Bay, absorb the vista, walk the course (there are designated paths), and then pay a visit to the events office. You'll not regret it. read more

The past few times we've been here for lunch we've been disappointed. The servers seem to forget about diners on the patio, so we waited nearly 45 min just to give our order and another hour to receive our 2 meals. We were the only ones on the patio but just felt overlooked. Could not get a coffee refill or question about menu item answered as the server never returned to the table with our check. Finally (after another 45 min after finishing our meals) we had to go to front desk to ask for our bill. Food was okay, not terrific/- COLD eggs, but couldn't send them back for heating due to MIA server. read more
