    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.

    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.

    This isn't even a po boy.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Mushroom cheesesteak
    Chris G.

    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.

    Crunchy garlic fries
    Eilene C.

    Conveniently located on Tacoma Ave S near downtown Tacoma, their menu has everything for everyone in the family. With outdoor seating only, we took our food home to eat. It was still nice and warm when we got home. We loved their original and deluxe cheesesteak! We also surprisingly loved their buffalo saucy cheesesteak and will be ordering that again next time! Garlic fries were delicious and their jumbo wings were nice and crunchy. Cashier was friendly and patient while we placed a large order.

We arrived around 4:30-40ish on a Sunday and we were seated quickly at the patio. They had plenty of seating in the patio and even had umbrellas in case the sun was too much. Luckily it was the perfect weather with a nice little breeze. The hostess offered us waters for our dogs and even asked if they needed one or two bowls. We opted for two bowls just in case as our male dog drinks a lot. We love that the menu was concise and that they had their specials on a little display on the table. I decided that I wanted to try out more of the menu and orders a strawberry lemonade, steamed clams, Bang Bang shrimp, bowl of clam chowder and a S'mores cheesecake to share with everyone. For the entrees, we ordered two of the smoked seafood fettuccine, kickin' chicken burger, and the Connecticut lobster roll. It did take some time for our entrees to arrive so I'm glad I bought the appetizers as we were hungry. However, the drinks were all refreshing and the food was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My only gripe is that the coleslaw was a bit off for me but at least I know to get fries or another substitute. The cheesecake was also a good size and I love that they toasted the marshmallows. Everyone, including the birthday boy left full and satisfied. I also was able to use their new Toast reward system with no issues. Our server Dallas was very professional and friendly with us. She would check in at appropriate times despite how busy the patio was getting. She even handled an extremely rude and entitled guest with precise professionalism.

Easy parking is always a huge plus, and there is plenty of seating both outside over the water and inside with beautiful views. We started with the calamari and French onion soup, and both were excellent. The appetizers were actually some of my favorite things we ordered! They had bay shrimp available as part of a salad, but my husband was really craving a shrimp cocktail. The chef was happy to accommodate the request, and my husband was so happy! The shrimp were incredibly fresh and delicious. We also tried the scallop special and the halibut, and both were very good. The bar is extensive, and they were happy to make us a few off-menu drinks, which we really appreciated. A wonderful experience with great food, beautiful waterfront views, excellent service, and a really nice atmosphere. Definitely a place we'll be back to!

However, for this month they brought back some of the favorites so I thought this was a perfect time to revisit. However, I was disappointed after the lobster quesadilla the other week and the lobster carbonara today. Both recipes had been changed/altered/were off. Even when I asked if anything was different with the carbonara, I was met with "no, same recipe" however, the photos attached in my review can show that's not entirely true. The older versions were rich with flavor and a thicker sauce while today's serving lacked flavor and had a sales price of $44. Disappointing is not the right word to use. I'll just stick to the memories of what use to be.

Throughout the evening, she checked on us several times to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The food is absolutely fantastic. We love the seafood fried rice, which is packed with flavor, and one of our favorite dishes is the crawfish boil with head-on shrimp, tossed in the 2-star house sauce. 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.

There was nothing on the menu that was vegan aside from (maybe) a green salad. That made things difficult for me, but I made do. My daughter who is a young teenager, ordered off the children's menu because none of the fancier meals appealed to her. She thoroughly enjoyed her seasonal fruit. However, that spaghetti was not typical spaghetti marinara--and she did not enjoy it. I think she took about three bites before giving up. On the other hand, the birthday girl ordered the fish tacos and loved them. It was clear she really really enjoyed them. The waiter was quite nice and it was a beautiful day to sit out on the patio. The location really can't be beat. I recommend surveying the menu and making certain that you can find something you'll enjoy prior to heading to the restaurant. It's definitely a nice place. It's just that its food might appeal to some much more than others.

I also really liked their kids' menu. My daughter's meal came with a fruit cup and ice cream, which was such a nice touch for families. We were seated outside with a beautiful view of the water, which made the whole lunch even better. Between the waterfront setting and how much we enjoyed our dishes, I'm genuinely surprised this place isn't rated higher. We had a great experience and would happily come back when we're in Point Ruston again!

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.
