My second time here. First time I for the prime rib dip. It was excellent. On my second visit today I get the best and unique Philly I have ever had. I did not realize that it had BBQ sauce on it when I ordered it, I tend to be a purist and would have asked for it not to be put on. But OMG I am so happy it was there because it was SO good. Salty, a touch of sweet and spice with lots of brisket. It is a messy overflowing sandwich so I don't recommend driving up mount Walker while trying to eat it. You will likely go off the edge because you can not put the sandwich down! I will be back for more and trying other offerings. Place was super clean with an excellent vibe. read more

The food was so good. The brisket had really good flavor. The barbecue on it was nice and had a little bit of heat. The meatloaf sandwich is absolutely phenomenal. Not like any other meatloaf I've ever had. The potato salad. The homemade potato salad was so good and had great flavor you can tell it's definitely homemade. The butterscotch cookie was nice and soft and had just enough butterscotch in there. The bathrooms were super clean. The lady working register was super friendly, and the guy that was behind cooking was awesome sat and visited with us and told us about the area definitely welcoming. I must stop shop. read more

A must when you're in the area! We had the brisket grilled cheese with a side of potato salad, and a cup of their smoked brisket chili. Everything was just right. The grilled cheese was cooked exactly the way you want it, the potato salad gave a good balance, and the chili was one of the best we've tried. It does have a nice kick to it so beware if you don't like heat! read more

First time checking them out and will definitely be coming back. Ordered the King Ranch and it was delicious! Chose their potato salad for the side and also delicious! The service was pleasant, very welcoming. The ambiance was perfect, lots of reference to its name. We sat on the back porch and enjoyed our meal while admiring the gardens back there. One hundred percent recommend this place for a good meal and just time in general. read more

Cute little deli along 101, just south of downtown Quilcene proper. Lots of sandwich offerings and super helpful staff. We grabbed a smoked brisket sandwich to split between us and while it looked on the small side, once split and munched through, it was just right for us! Crunchy onions, marinated but not too sweet brisket, toasted bun ..... just right for a snack before Hama Hama oyster tasting. Wouldn't hesitate to try any of their other sandwiches. Lots of specials, too. Staff was friendly and helpful! read more

All the food is outstanding. Get an extra napkin for the pulled pork sandwich. Gotta have the potato salad side.

Great selection and fast service very cute decor and chip and drink selection is so good , unique sandwiches ona roll hoagie style , you get what you pay for!!! If you have a picky eater like me , please be aware that some things cannot be changed or swapped in an order so choose wisely or buy two and combine for that perfect combination read more

The first time I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant was shortly after the birth of my first daughter. I brought her in as a newborn and enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich. Ten years later, while pregnant with my second daughter, I decided to revisit the restaurant with my partner, driven by nostalgia and a desire to try something new GUYS. I was truly impressed. A burger elsewhere is just a burger, but this one was absolutely exceptional from the first bite to the last. They prepared it exactly how I like it (no pink), and I appreciated that there was no judgment. The young man working there and the owner were very personable and genuine from the moment we arrived. The young man jokingly mentioned that a burger cooked without pink is "well done," not medium, which made me smile. It felt like the burger was made by someone I know personally. While that may seem odd to mention, I think we all have that one family member or friend whose cooking is so good they should have their own restaurant -- that was my experience at Gearhead tonight. The service was warm, the deck was comfortable, and the food was all fresh -- even the potato salad and pickles were perfect. Above all, the flavors of the burger were so thoughtfully crafted. I even asked my partner how a burger could be improved, and he mentioned seasoning, texture, sauce, and bun. Those were the key elements that stood out to me in tonight's meal. I highly recommend trying the F150 burger -- truly, I can't express how it made for one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. For ambiance: I love the trees by the deck. Each individual leaf is green but outlined with purple which is exactly how I would color a tree and it just made me really appreciate the added value of minor details in food and nature that really make life worth living. read more

Wow! What a find in the middle of no where! My husband and I took an afternoon ferry over to the peninsula Friday and happened upon Gear Head Deli just in time for a quick bite for dinner! I couldn't have been more surprised by the friendly service and really good deli sandwiches! It was kind of late and I half expected to get a thrown together sandwich as staff prepared to go home! Not the case at all! I felt like as much care was put into my sandwich as was put into the first of the day. I had the Cuban, and although not "authentic" it was delicious! I'm from South Florida and lived near many Cuban owned delis, but this was a wonderful offering. My hubby had the Elk Burger and he loved it, too. Although we didn't try the potato salad, others in the place at the same time gave it a major thumbs up. I would urge you, if anywhere near there at meal time, stop in and try them out! Tell Chris the old mobility challenged lady sent you! read more

Had the prime rib dinner on Saturday night This is amazing. Food definitely will come back. Service was very quick even liked the ambience didn't stay. Got food to go. I will definitely come back . read more

Friendly service and delicious reasonably priced food. I almost always get the fantastic beef brisket sandwich (the chopper) but today had the great pulled pork. Ask for a fork because the generous fillings are going to slop out a bit. Nice outdoor seating in the back (away from traffic). read more

Wow, what a surprise. Got done with a hike in the Olympic Forest and stopped in. Great menu with lots of choices and fun names to match the theme of the cafe. Delicious Bel-Air Cuban sandwich. read more

I'm actually amazed at how great this place it is! I am here on a road trip from Los Angeles and I can say it is one of the best places I've been! I ordered the smoked meatloaf. Highly recommend the service is excellent too! read more

I ordered the elk burger medium rare with potato salad, and I couldn't be more delighted. I probably could've gone more rare, but there was still such rich earthy undertones, that it I don't believe it deterred any flavors from getting across. 5 stars all around. Potato salad was a little mustardy, sweet and solid. They know what they're doing here. read more

Y'all......DELISH! I'm surprised this place doesn't have more reviews...maybe because of location. If you are passing by or hiking in the area, stop here for lunch. Heck maybe just get lunch to go so when you get to that waterfall you can have a little picnic. I ate the BBQ pork sandwich and I'm going to order another sandwich for lunch tomorrow! read more

We lucked into this place on our way to Seattle and boy did we love our accidental choice! We had the Charger sandwich with turkey and this was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had in quite awhile. We also got the potato salad as our side and again, were not at all disappointed. For dessert we bought a couple of bags of jerky and really enjoyed that later. Their sandwich menu was extensive and from what we saw on other plates, it looked very appetizing! read more

We ordered the pastrami sandwich; which had a couple of slices of meat and some sauerkraut on it (nothing like the picture shows in other yelp reviews) they charged $16 for an $8 dollar sandwich The side potato salad was good and a nice proportionate serving Service was minimal, no smiles or general courtesy felt like we were bothering them though we were the only ones in the restaurant ! read more
