    Chicken and biscuits
    Uther P.

    The good: Service and biscuits, nice cole slaw. The average: Chicken was a little overcooked and stringy dark meat. Flat flavor wise, but I didn't get the Nashville hot. For 62 bucks, for the two of us, I expected a little more. But I was raised down south, maybe I expected too much. I was looking forward to this place. My wife and I go to the local Farmers Market quite a bit, and it's just a walk away. I will give it another spin down the road, and hope for better.

    I heard that this restaurant was being run by the kitchen of Chickory, so I was jazzed about it, but it was not okay. The chicken was fine- crunchy and salty, but the cole slaw was a little on the vinegary side even though it was supposed to be sweet, but it succeeded at neiter. I got a sad salted caramel cookie and a Mexican Coke and all that together was a $40 plate. Excuse me? 2 pieces of chicken, a side, desert and drink. Plus the staff isn't very friendly. They hung around joshing with each other and sometimes they addressed the customers. You had to bus your own tables, but for a $40 plate of chicken, maybe you guys can interrupt your chat and clean the tables yourself.

    Really delicious food, lovely staff, wonderful decor and atmosphere, plenty of seating, and nice to have options for us vegetarians! We'll keep coming back!

    Me and a guest, went for lunch at this brand new restaurant. Already it was bustling with business and selling out of a few items. We got the lunch special of two pieces of fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and a drink. We also treated ourself to fresh hot Beignets.. "better than New Orleans!" The chicken was crispy hot and delicious. The Mac n cheese was very good. I would recommend to the business in the future, more types of drinks. The restaurant is clean, charming, similar to a diner-and lots of happy people in there. A real good vibe!

    Arrived ~30 minutes after opening on a Saturday. Was about 50% full already. Seems to clear out relatively fast (20-30 minutes per table) so if it's full when you get there, just give it some time. You order at the counter, then seat yourself. They give you a plastic number card and then you place it on your table. Two 8-person tables and a bunch of two-person setups with a few booths. I had the 3-piece chicken (thigh, drum, wing) with BBQ sauce. Tender and crispy. No breast pieces available if that's your jam. I also got a small Mac & Cheese, small collard greens. I shared an order Beignets (8) and small Hushpuppies with my wife. Solid comfort food in a nice setting. Service was great and it's within walking distance of Percival Park and the Farmer's Market if you wanted to make a day of it. I'll be back. Probably will try a sandwich or salad next time. I'm glad they have alternatives if fried foods aren't your thing.

    The fried chicken was crispy and flavorful, the hush puppies were delicious, and the beignets were a perfect sweet treat.

    We were in Olympia for a visit to The Evergreen State College and since we were in town, a stop at…read moreState & Central was mandatory. We've eaten here several times over the years, this was the first time we eat dinner here. Fam. Let me tell you, the very reasonable lunch size portions? They're significantly bigger on the dinner menu. Almost disturbingly so Being able to get a selection of interesting regional beers is always a draw, tonight was no exception. And the pretty good lunch menu is expanded for the dinner hour - as well as the portion sizes being expanded. I ordered the fish and chips, my partner ordered the bar steak (which was New York strip), and her daughter ordered the salmon burger with fries. Because it was a special, we also got a giant order of poutine. Despite being in almost at closing, the service was absolutely spectacular. We very nearly had the place to ourselves, so the overall vibe was very homey and welcoming. As noted, the portions were enormous. I opted to finish my fish at the expense of the chips. My partner wound up with a significant take home portion as did her daughter. Couldn't possibly have been happier about our decision to stop in. Since we seem to have a new Greener in the family, I'm sure that we will be in Olympia significantly more frequently. And frankly, I am pretty happy about that, just based on being able to stop in here on the regular again.

    Besides having a scrumptious menu, the server at lunch today, Cayla, was amazing. She was…read moreattentive, professional and friendly! I had a turkey, bacon, cheese sandwich and fries. I asked her to box up half as I can never eat a whole one. The ambiance is awesome but be sure to wear your hearing aids if you need them. It's a small place and can get hard to hear when its crowded. Overall though, this place rocks!

My god the aroma that hits you as soon as you walk through the door takes you to faraway lands. The mixture of curry & coconut milk is just so fragrant you can't mistake it. BBQ Pork Puff: amazing. Think char siu bao but in a PUFF PASTRY. Flaky, warm, sweet, savory. Curry Chicken Puff: amazing amazing. I can't say enough how heavenly the combo of curry & coconut are to me. This says plenty. Also there are potatoes in it. Nasi Lemak: Coconut rice delicious. Chicken was well seasoned and tender enough. Whatever that sauce was hit the spot. Egg mixed in w/ everything gave extra variety in texture. Anchovies crispy and salty but not too salty. Other dishes ordered by my family: Chicken & Rice, Mee Soto Ayam, Ikan Bilis, Veg Fried Rice. I can't speak to the taste but I can tell you that there was a lot of moaning. Don't know if we'll ever visit Olympia again but SOS you have a special place in my heart.

You don't seem many Singaporean place around and our interest was piqued. And I was impressed by the modern looking storefront. On to the review... The Chicken Potato Curry Puff pastry had an amazing filling. My wife and I would eat this alone. The curry flavor had a nice balance with the filling. However, the travel time to our AirBnB in Southbay may have compromised the outer puff pastry part. That was a bit lifeless. I would have liked to have tried this while at the restaurant. The rice in the "Chicken Rice Lunch" had fantastic flavor. However, I don't think the rice was fully cooked though. We definitely had more than a few harder than normal kernels of rice. But kudos to the rice flavoring - even though the rice was not fully cooked, I wanted to finish the rice. And the Chicken Garam Masala was blah. The Garam Masala was way too watery for our liking. The flavor was too diluted. A picture of this dish on their online menu shows a thicker sauce. We didn't finish this dish...

To my surprise, the place was packed with customers on a Sunday afternoon. I expected a slower pace, but it was anything but. The atmosphere was lively, with people playing pool and enjoying themselves. One of the unique features of this pub is a table game that many of you may not be familiar with. It's called Table Shuffleboard, and it's one of my favorites. I've played it a few times in Alaska, and it's a great game. To play, you simply request the pucks from the servers, and it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. We ordered a couple of beers, which were fairly decent. I had the Irish Death, and my friend opted for some of the commercialized beers like Blue Moon. They also ordered some wings, which they said were very good. They recommended that if you want extra crispy wings, you should have them fried hard. The sweet potato fries were cold, but the bartender was quick to take care of that. She brought us a fresh batch in a matter of minutes. The customer service was excellent throughout our visit. I'm giving this pub a three out of five stars. I'd like to come back and try some of the food, especially in the game day environment. I'm a vegetarian, so I didn't eat much of the food we had, but I'll definitely come back and try it again. I'll also come at night to see how it is before I consider upgrading the rating. Overall, I'll be returning to this pub for a second experience.

She returned several times asking for refills and if we needed anything. She is definitely a gem to this business. We appreciated her professionalism and sense of humor.

Family friendly (crayons and color sheet for kiddos).
