Nice and chill spot with a huge menu. Kid friendly in the restaurant area! We ordered the crispy onion chicken sandwich, chicken bacon ranch wrap, the pulled pork sandwich, and mandarin ginger chicken rice bowl. The chicken sandwich had a little bit of buffalo sauce and we agreed it was super good! 4.8/5! The chicken bacon ranch wrap was pretty good, not the best I've ever had but still a solid wrap! Lots of food and was able to take half of it home. 3.5/5. The pulled pork was pretty solid, 4/5. The least favorite was the rice bowl, not bad but also wasn't all that great, 2.5/5. We tried the huckleberry and raspberry lemonades. Both were decent but nothing to write home about. If I had to guess I would say it was Minute Maid lemonade with bar syrups. 3.5/5 Overall, definitely a sold spot for classic bar food! The people were nice and there was a decent amount of seating with lots of tables for more than 4 people. The menu was huge so I would be interested in stopping by again to try something else out!

They have pull tabs, draft beer bottles & cans. The only thing is that the bar can get very busy, & they only have one person who tends bar, cooks the food & sells the pull tabs. That said with one person working doing everything the service could be slow depending upon if you want to order food & the bartender is busy with cooking or tending bar you'll have to wait, but Joyce is awesome & there is another bartender who is great as well. They try their best to do everything that needs to be done. I went yesterday (Friday) they had a band singing country music & different types of music it was a nice surprise. There's ample parking, and it's a reasonably safe place to walk around or park your car. When I'm in the area next time I visit I'd definitely come back & belly up to the bar.

I thought the woman was older and that she might have fallen or gotten hurt so I hustled over to go help. Once I'd gotten ahold of her I realized this woman was much younger than I had thought and that she is blasted. Absolutely blitzed! It's only then that I realized that her pants are dripping and that there's a little yellow pool in the gutter. She finally slumps into the seat and I discover a little souvenir. A wet spot on my right knee. Thanks a lot darling. Your lack of self control means that I'm flying back to LA with your dried pee on my clothes. And Frank's a special thanks to you for continuing to serve this woman until she was literally piss drunk.

The inside lacked warmth so we opted to sit outside because it was a nice day, but didn't realize how noisy it would be with cars accelerating so much right next to you at the corner, forcing us to stop our conversation a half a dozen times. That being said, the service was good and the pizza was delicious. I just think that they can expand their menu a bit at least with nonalcoholic drinks offered.

Great beer selections on tap so grab a beer and some grub. The only real downside is no NA options for beer. Water and root beer, but with so many local craft NA beers around the PNW, one or two on tap would serve so many folks who are recovering, reducing alcohol for health reasons, or out solo who don't want to drink and then drive or ride (motorcycle). Love the outdoor seating in the shade or sun. Definitely a place built for our PNW weather as outdoor seating has some covered areas. Friendly service at this local spot, so go check it out.

Our meals were generous portions, and I ordered the salmon cakes--they were flavorful and something I would definitely order again. We finished with the bourbon bread pudding. The dessert portion was on the smaller side and it was definitely sweet, but still very tasty! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a casual distillery feel that made it a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy lunch. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch--the food was good, portions were generous, and the service made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

We got there around 6:30 PM on Thursday evening and the wait was about 20 minutes for families, but we sat at the bar at a high top and got right in. We found service to be friendly and prompt. The gentleman who was taking care of us was attentive without being pushy. We started with the fried pickles which came out with ranch and aïoli for dipping. It was a huge portion. Tasty indeed. While I know pickles are inherently salty, I did find these to be exceptionally salty, leaving me to wonder if the batter was also salted, which definitely would not be necessary. Just know that if you are planning on ordering them. We also both got the Smoked Steak Salad. The salad was fresh and nicely dressed. Both of them came with a very generous serving of meat. The meat was just OK. They do not ask you how you would like your steak cooked, so once I got it, that made sense. I'm guessing they don't just smoke it for a little bit and finish the cooking it another way because it is well done with some rough bits - perhaps leftovers from something else. Honestly, I would prefer to have a nice juicy steak on top of a salad, and while I enjoyed this enough, I probably would not get it again for this reason. We both got a beer flight too, and found all four choices to be really good! I will definitely come back here when I'm tired of options at Great Wolf. I'd be interested in trying their sandwiches, as I saw a couple people with French Dips that looked really good.

If you know us, you know we live for a good dive! It was a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty scarce. There was a large group when we first got there but they headed out and it was just us a few others. Classic dive on the inside and a nice bartender as well. This place is a true TAVERN. No hard alcohol, just beer, cider, wine, seltzers. Prices were incredibly affordable - four drinks after tip was only $25! The beer garden area is chaotic and I mean this in the best way. Exactly the type of beer garden I wanna see at a dive. There was a ton of space out there too! The ONLY gripe we had was that the smell of the fryer was extremely overwhelming. Normally it doesn't bother me much but it was SO strong here so we opted to sit outside because just being in there to order gave me a borderline headache from the smell. Truly was a great find! We're never in the area so it's unlikely we'll return, but we definitely would if we found ourselves here again.
