    2-piece COD Fish & Chips (4.5/5)
    Thalya C.

    Visiting a friend in Tacoma and we went here. It's all outdoors and I wasn't sure if I'd like any of the Philly's based on other reviews but I feel you can't go wrong with fish and chips! Service was not good for it being a pick up window -- I was surprised to say the least. Being put on hold while the person taking my order was visibly on their phone is actually crazy! I enjoy my food served hot and ready and this was perfect! The fish had smoke coming out of it when I split it open and it wasn't all batter so that was good! Overall good food, bad service, but quick and easy!

    Solid, well filled, tasty cheesesteak. Fries were crispy, maybe a bit too salty. Banana pudding was solid, but I wish it had banana slices when it costs $8. Service took a little longer than expected, but the food was worth it and the servers were sweet. Mostly a takeout spot with very little seating. It's a bit expensive at about $20 for a combo, but for a well stuffed and tasty cheesesteak and solid fries, it's not the worst deal.

    It is in a wonderful location. However, customer service is not the best. I came here at my husband 's request to pick up a lunch special. The 9.95 special before 1pm is a great motivator to run and get lunch. But they lose a couple of stars for just the service. I do not get it but maybe food service is high pressure. I recommend being a least a bit more cordial and kind of focus a little more on greeting customers and making sure the orders are correct. I ordered a lemon lime drink and Hi C for my son. We got our lemon lime drink but some mystery dark soda. Well the fries is a generous amount and the sandwich is a good amount of meat. Cheese is not too overwhelming so that is good. For good food and location service needs to improve. They have great potential and I honestly want them to stay around here. So I say to the lady at the window to just relax and smile a little bit more. And we love your sandwiches a lot. Thanks.

    Everything. This is absolutely ridiculous. This sandwich is falling apart. There's no tarter. The fish isnNON EXISTENT. and this cost 17$?!! I will never eat here again. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

    Nice little cheesesteak shack. Had the hot pastrami with sauerkraut and provalone with Cajun fries. Very good amount of meat. Kraut not too aggressive. Definitely a good sandwich if you are in the mood. But the Cajun fried were really good. The crisp on them was amazing and the oil didn't taste old. Seasoning was really flavorful and had a decent amount of spice to them. The service was very friendly and prompt. Fountain sodas available. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time, so you know it's made to order. I would totally eat here again next time I'm in town.

    The food was amazing! The fries were fresh, you could tell that they were made to order. The cheese steak was very yummy, it was cheese, and I loved the meat to onion ratio. Service was great. I would only recommend that they wrap the sandwiches a little cleaner. There was cheese all over the outside of the paper and it got everywhere and we didn't get any napkins. Overall, I cannot wait to come back to Go Philly!

    Once again another wonderful cheesesteak from Go Philly! I love this place. The staff here is friendly. Not yo mention they keep the place up.

    A pretty solid cheesesteak if not a bit on the smaller side. The place is small and only has exterior seating. And it gets busy during meal times. I highly recommend ordering ahead. It's convenient and also lets you know an ETA and alerts you when your order is ready. The parking lot is also very small. All-in-all it seems to be the best cheesesteak in Tacoma, so we will be returning.

    Meh. This used to be a shack and the pastrami was to die for. Now it's all pretty but the pastrami is meh. Still looking for great pastrami in Tacoma. Fries were good but no fry sauce. Should offer the Russian dressing.

    Gross sloppy greasy sandwich supposed to be chicken peppers and provolone
    Melissa T.

    What a disappointment. I ordered a chicken pepper steak with provolone cheese and mayo. And what I got was a complete disaster. Sure there's chicken cheese and peppers in there not too many peppers. But the amount of mayo in here dominates the sandwich. The bread immediately fell apart mushy from the second I took it out out of the wrapper and most of the rapper stuck to the sandwich. I opened it up as soon as I left the place and there was no time in between when I received the text message that my order was ready and me picking it up. I was excited to get my birthday reward cheesesteak and it was the first thing I haven't cooked for myself in a long time. And this only proves why I don't go out and spend money at locations because the food is unreliable. This is inedible because there is wrapper stuck to the sandwich and the bread is disgusting. I would have to take it all apart to salvage what isn't doused in mayo to put it on an English muffin because that's all I have. I didn't go to the store to do my grocery shopping I went out to buy myself a cheesesteak!! I tipped them, for the record. I even asked for light ice half of my container is ice. Imagine if I hadn't asked for light ice! Overall 100% disappointed and would not recommend. What happened?!?!! This place used to be great.

He kept us updated, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed while we waited. The manager Mike also stopped by our table several times to make sure we were taken care of, which I really appreciated. It showed that they genuinely care about their guests' experience. Between the beautiful atmosphere, the incredible waterfront views and the outstanding customer service, we had an amazing evening. Great service for me it makes all the difference and the staff at Woven definitely delivered. I'll absolutely be back and would recommend Woven to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

At this price point there are several restaurants better than them, so you're going for the views. I wouldn't write off going again, but I'm not prioritizing it.

Our waiter was attentive, kept our water glasses full throughout the meal, and boxed up our leftovers for us without us even having to ask.

I ordered the Connecticut Lobster Roll ($42), which came with warm lobster on a buttery roll and a side of house-made potato chips. The lobster was tender, and the buttery flavor really made the sandwich stand out. We also took a slice of the peanut butter pie ($14) to go, and it was incredibly rich, creamy, and packed with peanut butter flavor. A perfect dessert if you're a peanut butter lover. The only thing I'd love to see is a few more non-alcoholic drink options, but it definitely didn't take away from an overall excellent experience.

The spice level is just right, and the lemon pepper adds a delicious kick. Since our first visit, we have returned many times and have also ordered takeout on numerous occasions. Every meal has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Crab & More has quickly become one of our favorite seafood spots. The prices vary depending on what you order. The seafood fried rice is around $20 and is a great value. When we go all out and order a four-item seafood boil, it can be around $225 for two people. Dungeness crab is currently around $65 per pound, while snow crab and king crab are typically more expensive. Even with the higher cost of premium seafood, the quality, portions, flavors, and service make it worth the visit.

    I've been coming to Harbor Lights for years--mainly for what used to be my all-time favorite shrimp…read morecocktail and to check out their special fruit drinks. Today was supposed to be a quick, light stop after work: shrimp cocktail, a couple drinks, and some time in the old Harbor Lights bar. Walking in, I was immediately reminded of one of my biggest frustrations with this space. Yes, it's small--but the outdated tables and chairs make it far too easy for people to block the walkways. And when those walkways are filled with loud, inappropriate, "stuck-in-1976" commentary from intoxicated older men acting like they're still in their 20s, it makes navigating the room even more uncomfortable. At one point, we were stuck sitting there listening to them loudly joke about having female urologists and proctologists--one word: GROSS. Speaking up doesn't feel like a safe or worthwhile option--it just escalates things. The bar could absolutely keep its charm while still evolving into a more comfortable, modern, and inclusive space. Then there's the menu situation--multiple menus stacked in front of you like a paper shuffle. It's unnecessary and could easily be streamlined. Now, the drinks... this is where things really fell off. Harbor Lights used to be known for strong drinks--that reputation feels long gone. I ordered a vodka-based drink and it went down like juice--no taste, no kick, nothing. When I asked for a double on the second round, the bartender laughed and said all their drinks are doubles and that they don't measure, claiming there was 2 1/2 oz of liquor in it. We watched him make it: no measuring, just a free pour over ice, stopping well short of the top, then filling it with rhubarb-strawberry purée. When it arrived, it felt more dropped on the table than served. I gave it a fair shot--a big sip--and again... no vodka taste whatsoever. No burn, no effect. I know my liquor, and this didn't add up. It really makes you question what's actually being poured. And then... the shrimp cocktail. How do you mess this up? This was the one thing I could always count on. It's always been unique and consistently good--but this time? Way too much horseradish. Completely threw off the balance. I still ate it, but it was not the same experience at all. Overall, this visit was disappointing. Between the uncomfortable atmosphere, lackluster drinks, and a once-reliable favorite falling short, Harbor Lights just isn't what it used to be.
