We've been coming to this location for quite a while now. I have never had a bad meal here. The…read morecoffee is one of my favorite diner coffees, and is always fresh and refilled in a timely fashion. There is a broad range of menu items, and the portion sizes are very generous and filling. We almost always have something to bring home with us. I am obsessed with their bacon, so will order it as a side to bring home. The food is very tasty, having ordered the same thing on several occasions, it's always consistent. Our servers have always been attentive, though I notice when it's busy, they are definitely running around a lot. It helps that the usually have someone dedicated to bringing the drink orders at the start of the service. I like the family vibe in here as well, the weekends are always full, making it a great overall experience. There's plenty parking around, and though it's busy I feel it's worth the wait.

I'm giving this place four stars because even though my meal was not good, my family loved their…read morefood (there were eight of us). It probably just comes down to what this restaurant does well vs. what they're trying to do to accommodate everyone. Six people ordered breakfast, one person ordered a sandwich, and I ordered the Yummy Bowl because it was one of two vegan options on the lunch menu (nothing vegan on the breakfast menu). It was really bad. The flavor and texture were yucky. Nothing was seasoned except the "yummy sauce," which had the strangest flavor. It just didn't taste good. I was grateful I got a side of fries, which were excellent. I'm sure they're trying to accommodate vegans, but there is still some work to do there so the food tastes good and isn't just put together to say there is a vegan option on the menu. Everyone else loved their food. It's a nostalgic place for all of them, too, so that adds to their experience. They sat us in a room with a door, and that was lovely because it gave us some privacy and toned down the noise. For me, that was the best part of our brunch outing. We stopped by the bakery before leaving, and my husband loaded up on his favorites, and I got a loaf of San Francisco sourdough (which I ate a bit of the next day, and it was delicious). I haven't been here in years, and I probably won't be back for a while, but I will return because it's a family favorite. Maybe I'll just stick with fries and some toast next time!

**Lumber House Brewery: A Masterpiece of Craft Brewing--But Let's Talk About the Concrete Elephant…read morein the Room** Lumber House Brewery is not just **good**--it is a **revelation**, a divine temple of hops and barley, a sanctuary where beer enthusiasts gather to worship at the altar of pure, liquid perfection. The brews here? **Impeccable.** The balance of flavors, the craftsmanship, the sheer dedication poured into every pint--this is the kind of beer that **rewires your brain chemistry**, rendering all lesser beverages obsolete. The food? **Legendary.** A burger so impossibly juicy it deserves its own Netflix documentary. Fries that crunch with a level of precision that suggests **some sort of alchemical wizardry is at play**. Each dish is not just **prepared**--it is **engineered**, designed for maximum indulgence and unrestrained joy. The staff? **Incredible.** Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their craft. Every conversation with them feels like a TED Talk on the art of brewing, and yet **somehow more engaging**. And yet--**AND YET**--let us address the single most inexplicable contradiction in human history: **LUMBER HOUSE BREWERY IS LOCATED IN A CONCRETE TILT-UP BUILDING.** Read that again. Slowly. Let it sink in. Lumber House Brewery--the very name **evokes images of rustic timber lodges**, cozy wood-paneled beer halls, the scent of sawdust mingling with the comforting aroma of freshly poured stouts. You hear "Lumber House," and you **expect** beams, planks, a structure that whispers of heritage, craftsmanship, and the sturdy embrace of dimensional lumber. But no. **Concrete.** Gray, impersonal, **unapologetically industrial concrete**. Tilted up like some sort of affront to the very concept of its name. It is an irony so stark, so **mercilessly hilarious**, that one cannot help but admire the sheer audacity of it. This is not just **a choice**--this is a **statement**, a deliberate defiance of expectations, an architectural plot twist so profound it rivals the greatest mysteries of our time. Could they have constructed a grand wooden brewery, rich in timber and nostalgic warmth? Absolutely. But instead, they **rebelled**. They chose strength over sentiment, functionality over theme, and in doing so, they **cemented--literally and figuratively--their place in history**. And somehow? **It works.** So go. Step into Lumber House Brewery's **glorious contradiction**, revel in the fact that **despite its lack of lumber**, it delivers one of the **most unforgettable** brewery experiences imaginable. Five stars. And a **moment of stunned silence for the irony**.

Second time here and both times it's been after a hike. They are located in the back of a…read morerelatively unassuming business center with plenty of parking. It's not a huge place but they have plenty of seating and comfortable brewery ambiance. Food and beer is ordered at the bar and they bring the food to wherever you're sitting. We were on a bit of time crunch and just grabbed seats at the bar. Since it was an in between meal period, they weren't super busy which was perfect. We both ordered the burger special which was a bacon bleu burger which comes with waffle fries. The waffles fries are fantastic, and an underrated fry choice, IMO. They were hot and crispy. Burgers were loaded but the knock on them was that they were over cooked for both my wife and I, while also being small compared to the bun. Overall, the flavor was still good and along with good beers (we got the Kolsch & Pale Ale) it was a 4 star experience. When we were getting ready to leave, a guy at the end of the bar received his pretzel order and it looked delicious. Will definitely come back and try that next time!

We've been regulars in the bar for a couple of years - Shauna is great and keeps us looking forward…read moreto our weekly date night! Aside from her, everything else is only average - food is ok, but the new menu lacks a lot. Several favorites were removed and not replaced with something equal. Portions are huge .. and pricey .. would appreciate options for 1/2 portions and smaller burger options (other than sliders). The competing restaurant across the street has caught on to this and it's fantastic! With that said though, the main reason I am writing this review is because of the lack of a sun shade over the front door which causes a painful 30-ish minutes if you happen to be there as the sun is going down. Crazy the owner won't install a shade despite many requests. Lastly, many people come to watch whatever game that is on that night -- but if the bar is full and you happen to get the end corner table by the patio door, you can't see a single TV ... yet there is a blank wall space on the wall to the right with an outlet ready and waiting.... And TVs aren't expensive these days. I suggest if you come, to come to the bar Tuesday-Friday when Shauna is working, but not when the sun is at eye level in the Fall. Be prepared for great service, but likely taking home half your meal. Would not recommend for a family dinner only because it's pricey.

Plenty of seating in booths or tables. Our server was friendly and attentive. Lots of natural light and plenty of parking. My friends opted for the Chicken sandwich and Chicken tenders. Both looked great and they were very happy with their choices. I decided on the sliders off the appetizer menu. Three nice beef patties. I am not a cheese guy so held the cheese and tomato. The grilled onions gave it a boost of flavor however the patties could have used a quick char. Nonetheless they were still tasty. I added fries for $2 and thought they were pretty tasty! Crisp and flavorful! I wish it was closer- 10 miles from my house but I will be back!

Hashbrowns were perfectly browned, eggs were light and fluffy, and the sausage links were perfectly cooked. Great overall experience and I highly recommend Nikki's!

A/C reduces the humidity as well. Being sticky and muggy while eating sucks! Change this! We melt in the PNW above 72F! WTHeck? Customers comfort before saving pennies! Install ceiling fans to move the air as well would help. Besides the customer is always right. Get the A/C fixed or UPGRADED. Otherwise the place is nice. The tables and chairs appear to be made from SOLID WOOD! Impressive quality. A good layout that is not loud or echoing. The wait staff was awesome. She was so apologetic about the heat. I felt bad for the workers in that hot environment. Service was prompt and drinks refilled in a timely manner. The order was right. It was a little slow to arrive but there was a large party in the main area, right of the front door. I ordered Teriyaki chicken. Sorry that was NOT TERIYAKI! It was BBQ sauce chicken. LEARN what teriyaki is. Try Dr Yoshida's sauce to marinade it atleast. Once I accepted my expectation of teriyaki was dashed, it was excellent. The chicken was moist and tender. Not like some that are tough old birds. It has a good, not to sweet BBQ, tomato sauce flavor. The dinner salad with it's croutons was great. The Thousand Island was homemade and good. The rice pilaf had real, large, tender chunks of carrots and was delicious. When they did not have white rice with the teriyaki I should have suspected something, yet the pilaf was excellent. The portions are HUGE! Be prepared to take some home or be filled! The pies looked great, but had NO room for them! Darn. A side note, the LOUNGE section WAS COOL like the restaurant should be.

The place was surprisingly packed, but the hostess was super friendly and got us seated pretty quickly. Our server was great--very prompt and on top of everything. The restaurant was clean and well kept, which I always appreciate. I ordered the Banana Foster pancakes and I don't know if it was the meds I was on or just the magic of a good stack of pancakes, but they really hit the spot. Absolutely delicious and honestly, they turned my whole day around. Overall, a solid experience--quick service, kind staff, tasty food. Not quite a 5-star just because of the wait (understandable though, given how busy it was), but I'd definitely come back again.

The atmosphere is a standard bar experience, lots of coming and goings, laid back and fun. We didn't even realize until we were leaving that there is an actual giant tank with a piranha! Parking was fine but I imagine gets tight when busy.
