Cod (fish & chips) destroyed my myself & my mom

The best FOOD, environment, staff, chef, stories and so much more!! By far the best fish & chips I had in my life. My partner loved his dish and my son destroyed the duck sandwich! 10/10 easily! Oh and we got the cookies!

Nice spot on the island. We brought our dog with us for troll hunting. We spotted this place. Dog friendly in the back of the story. Inside it's a bar rustic look with cute bathroom. We were late for lunch, but luckily I was got the last smoke brisket Reuben or I wouldn't know how awesome and write this review. It is so fulfilling. Good portion. We also had the salt and pepper shrimp burger. No bad and lots of shrimps also. I would suggest provide some sides like fries or coleslaw, then I will say they are perfect.

This place is open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I like the casual ambience with high quality food. The food is delicious, and the people and service even better. I had a hard time making a decision of what sandwich to get. The cashier told me some customer claimed the Ruben Sandwich (one of my top 3 fav sandwiches) is the best they've ever tried. But I walked in craving fried chicken, so I went with Fried Chicken Sandwich, $17 and comes with a bag of fresh chips. The fried chicken was big, crispy and juicy. It was so good (also piping hot) I burnt my mouth but kept eating Xp. I also love the options for appetizers and side dishes on display. The Chef was nice enough to give me a slice of Banana Fudge Cake to try. I had it with ice cream when I get home, it's very banana-y, but in a good (not artificial) way. I can't wait to come back and try the Ruben!

Smoked Brisket Reuben Sandwich

On a very hot day my wife and I visited Gravy aka Salt & Schmaltz. Eating there had been one of our main objectives in visiting Vashon. We opted to sit in the back patio where a slight breeze made it more comfortable than eating inside. It wasn't busy (although we noticed that that had changed a bit when we were leaving) and we had our just about all the tables. The staff and the owners were very welcoming. I ordered the Smoked Brisket Reuben sandwich and my wife ordered the Smoked Turkey sandwich. They both came with housemade potato chips. Both orders were delivered to our table pretty quickly. They were both very hot and I actually had to bite on my sandwich carefully so as not to burn my mouth or my hands while holding it. Both were big sandwiches so you really got your money's worth. . There was more house smoked brisket on my sandwich than I've gotten anywhere else. The tops of gruyere, kraut and Russian dressing were great as was the bread. I shouldn't have eaten the entire thing but I did. My only quibble was that I would've like to have tasted more smoky flavors, but I've rarely had smoked food in restaurants that safisty me like the smoked meats I turn out on my own electric smoker. My wife greatly enjoyed her house smoked turkey sandwich which came with bacon, greens, roasted tomatoes, and Havarti. With that one she had her choice of either cold turkey or hot pressed. She wished she'd chosen cold because she missed the texture and fresh flavor of the turkey as a contrast to the hot sandwich. She took half her sandwich with her. The owners seemed to be good people presenting great food. We'd go back to try some other menu items if we decide return to Vashon.

Salt and pepper shrimp with garlic aioli.

Food are good but a bit pricey. We ordered a salt and shrimp burger with garlic aioli and Smoked brisket Ruben . Sandwiches sizes are descent but with no sides. Place is clean and with backyard seating area for you to dine in with your pet. Service is prompt and good.

Wow! What an absolutely amazing find. A locality run deli/restaurant/store/ sandwiches amazing place ever!! While meandering around Vashon, we walked into this place and were immediately greeted with an outstanding smell. The service was excellent and all the food in the deli case is house made. The gentleman whose name I forget, answered all our questions about Vashon Island, shopping, living, etc. After walking around and drinking some beers across the street we decided to come back and support a local business. My friend was disappointed that all the lemon pie was gone. Tip: if you see it? Buy it!! It could be gone when you get back!! The sandwiches, so many choices. We got the high powered rueben, with homemade brisket. Like wth? Off the chain delicious!! Sandwiches come hot or cold. We chose hot. They gave us a few forks and picnic utensils to eat our sandwich later. The sandwich was outstanding!! Homemade brisket with sauerkraut and homemade thousand island. All on grilled sourdough and so good!! My only minor issue was, and it is minor, was the meat. I wish it would have been cubed for easier chewing. No biggie!! Still and amazingly tender and delicious!! Please support this business if you come here. Happy Yelping.

Smoked brisket rueben

While waiting for our smoked brisket rueben we enjoyed watermelon salad and potato salad. Both were very good. The cherry tomatoes and pickled jicama paired wonderfully with the watermelon. I didn't taste much smoke in the brisket (which made my wife happy) and there was a little too much fat for my taste (perfect for hers). The bread was perfect, but I would have liked a stronger taste of dressing. I'll end on a positive- they did not skimp on the brisket. See the attached photo! So... 5 stars from my wife, 4 stars from me.

Brisket Reuben
Iqbal M.

In Vashon for the day... or the weekend? You NEED to ride the Gravy train! While many things on the menu look appealing, the Brisket Reuben ($18) and the fried chicken ($15) were calling my name and they did not disappoint. I love reubens and to try their take on it with brisket left you wanting more. The brisket was soft and cooked well combined with their rye and sauerkraut brought joy to my belly. The fried chicken (gluten-free) order gets you half a chicken. This isn't your typical fried chicken. The flavor packed in every bite ensures there won't be any leftovers. Pro-tip: ask for a side of the Russian dressing that comes with the Reuben as a dip for the fried chicken. They were also grilling lamb burgers on the sidewalk with whipped feta which smelled AMAZING but we just weren't in the lamb mood today. They had a couple tables setup outside and two inside (4/17/21) so you could eat there but we decided to take our food a mile away to Dragonhead Cider!

Stopped by for a quick bite. Lu had the tuna melt and I had the brisket Reuben. Yum! We ate out doors in the back patio. Food was great! We definitely would recommend Gravy when visiting Vashion Is.

Unreal staff. Unreal food. The burger is no brainer. Rainier in a can. All the best things. You'd be foolish to go anywhere else.

Service was friendly, but at the end of the day it's about the food - which is why the 1 star. What…read morewe experienced were the two worst sandwiches we've ever eaten! The pulled pork sandwich had what seemed to be nearly half a bottle of mustard mixed with a lot of coleslaw and a little bit of smoked pork buried within as though it were a mafia informant that got the cement shoes treatment. The French Dip sandwich also had what seemed to be a half a bottle of horseradish cream sauce... which burned my eyeballs and fumigated my nostrils! I could only take about 3 bites before I couldn't handle the potency any longer. It was literally a horseradish sandwich with a side of weak broth. The abundance of condiments on both of the $25 overpriced sandwiches turned the bread into mush leaving us on the Brink of sandwich hell. The service, however, was good - I was able to get a different sandwich with no questions asked. Sadly I must award you no points for the food, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Lovely restaurant on Vashon. Me and a few friends enjoyed a delicious dinner on the garden/patio…read more The food was awesome. I really enjoyed the lemon risotto. They had a small but nice variety of wines to choose from and they paired well with different menu items. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. I look forward to returning. Thank you.

I had an amazing meal here. The food here truly rocks…read more Let's start with dessert. Sorrel panna cotta with fresh raspberries on top. Unlike ANYTHING I have ever tasted. Lemony sweet, with refreshing topped raspberries to bring you back to your senses. Sticky toffee pudding was a contrast to the fresh panna cotta. It was so scrumptious and rich. It's like the British pudding, essentially like a cake/muffin with a delicious sauce. The main meal was mushroom risotto with asparagus. I'm not a big risotto person but there were only 2 vegetarian options on the menu for the entrees so I needed to pick something! It was nice and buttery, but could have used more asparagus in my opinion for variety of textures. The other option for vegetarian entrée was a polenta! It was decent but this place could definitely do better vegetarian entrees! I have full faith on that. Appetizers are delightful - we had the crispy cauliflower with a chutney that was surely inspired by some tangy Indian tastes. The other dish for appetizers was patatas bravas - delightful. The menu is not overwhelming, it's seasonable and there will be something you can enjoy. Parking and seating is super limited so make sure you arrive on a slow day, arrive early, or are prepared to wait. Tip is also included. Good for special occasions. Bring your love, your best friend, and/or your grandma. Clean and cozy. Has outdoor seating too in the front and back.

I ordered the catch of the day: pan roasted Coho salmon. So flavorful and cooked perfectly. Desert was the coconut cake with homemade vanilla ice cream.

Without a doubt this is one of Tacoma's best dining experiences. Chef Shawn's team is small but mighty. The staff that we encountered were all super kind and attentive. It's widely known that Chef Shawn has a radiant personality and treats everybody in his restaurant like a longtime friend. He walked around chatting with everybody personally, showed off dishes as he walked through the restaurant, and was even happy to let diners take a peek at his kitchen (how does he make all this magic happen on TWO CAMP STOVES?!) The menu isn't massive, but everything on the menu is executed with precision and grace. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted but I've had my eyes on the Lobster Bomb for years. My husband got the "Tiny Burrito" which is quite literally the size of a newborn. The Lobster Bomb was excellent. Generous chunks of succulent lobster and the hollandaise was perfect! Subtle on the lemon flavor as to not overpower, but still rich and creamy. I tried my husband's burrito and the chorizo gravy is stellar. You could easily share this with 1-2 other people in my opinion. It lasted my husband two leftover meals! The restaurant itself is small but it's cozy and feels like you're at home. No frills, nothing over the top, nothing trendy. Just a relaxed vibe with lots of authentic touches from Chef Shawn. While this was our first visit it definitely won't be our last. Don't make the mistake I did and let years pass by before you experience Tibbitts!
