    Burger - very good w/ side of chili
    Angela W.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quite a busy place with lots of outdoor and indoor seatings, with views of the 18th greens that is fun to watch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As for food, Nachos - not good Steak Burgers - huge and very good. Fish and chips - soggy and bland Tomato bisque soup - not bad Most entrees come with sides of your choice, soup, chili, fries and fruits. Great place to grab a burger

    Caesar salad

    Absolutely love this place. My husband and I got married here 12 years ago so of this place is extra special to us. The food has always been amazing and the staff is incredible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only do you get great food, but also beautiful views of the golf course.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Potstickers!

    Very pleased with this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Crowd is hit or miss but the food has yet to disappoint![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    servers are nice but not attentive and the food is less than good. They're very stingy and don't deliver their menu descriptions
    Gwen M.

    The space was lovely but the food quality and service were not. I ordered a wedge salad, and added steak. The salad was advertised "with bacon" and there were literally 8 slivers, less than a 1/4 slice of bacon. They were also very stingy with the unremarkable blue cheese dressing. And did I mention that the steak was cold? I am unimpressed and probably won't return, and that's a pity because the place has potential, but it's unrealized.

    I don't really understand all the bad reviews here. This golf course is one of the top golf courses in WA. Also, the restaurant here is the bomb. I come here just to have a brunch/lunch/dinner. You won't have the quality of food here anywhere else. Jenna (sorry if I spell it wrong) is the best best waitress I've ever met from anywhere else. She will take care of whatever you need right away. I see lots of folks coming to this place because of her. She always goes above and beyond. I am so haply to have this course near by. This course should raise the price at least up to $150 during prime time compared to WA national and even chambers bay. I am telling you that you will definitely have great time here if you plan to golf and have some good food at the same time.

    Great bar with large beer selection.
    Steve F.

    This place has some of the best staff around, and a great beer selection. The recent remodel is great but the menu is what limits this place to 3 stars. Menu has some really good items, but zero appetizers, no soups and none of staples like fish and chips or a steak. Hopefully things will get better, used to be in our weekly rotation but with the limited menu it is now monthly.

    The Cubano was on point! All of us at the table were thrilled with our meals ~ the French fries were cooked to perfection ~ service was prompt, friendly and helpful (recommendation of the house made maple mustard made the Cubano even tastier). Diana Patterson with Windermere RE recommended I eat local and specifically check out The Grill in the Woods ~ very glad I did as I've found a new place to dine near my office in Covington!

The bartender doesn't just remember your drink order--they can recite your entire ancestral lineage while mixing it. And one server, I kid you not, once arm-wrestled a grizzly bear just to protect a customer's last french fry. But the real revolution happened when a veteran waitress (who definitely used to be in witness protection) casually mentioned her souped-up Toro TimeMaster to a regular. Like a match dropped in a pool of premium unleaded, the lawnmower customization scene EXPLODED. Now the back parking lot looks like Fast & Furious meets Home Depot. You've got flame-painted John Deeres doing wheelies between tables, and chrome-plated Husqvarnas sporting underglow LEDs that would make Xzibit weep tears of joy. Every Thursday night, the sound of modified 6.5 HP engines drowns out the jukebox as the "Mow Money, Mow Problems" crew shows off their latest grass-cutting masterpieces. Last week, someone installed a turbocharger on a push mower--sure, it only cuts three blades of grass before launching into low orbit, but that's the kind of innovation that makes America great. The Red Dog Saloon didn't just create a restaurant; they birthed a movement. Now you can't scroll through TikTok without seeing some influencer's "Lawn & Order: Special Mowing Unit" build going viral. And it all started because the staff here believes in encouraging their customers' most questionable hobbies with unbridled enthusiasm. Five stars. Would let them transform my riding mower into a grass-destroying dragon again.

If it had iceberg lettuce and less sauce we think it would be a solid 10. For the bacon burger, this had a lot of flavors that were simple and great. Service was quick, waited around 5 minutes for the burgers to come out. It's a smaller shop with 4 tables, so seating might be limited during rush hours. Highly recommend it for an affordable meal with lots of options! And if you're a burger lover, this place will not disappoint!

I've been in a few times and am impressed by the quality of the food. My hats off to the chef! Here's the breakdown of the meal: The Food Chicken Fried Steak: This wasn't one of those cheap frozen patties that's all breading. It was nice and thick with just the right amount of crunch. Sausage Gravy: The gravy can make or break this dish, and they nailed it. It was thick, savory, and had tons of flavor. Stuffed Hash Browns: I upgraded my regular hash browns to the stuffed version with bacon, and it was the best decision of the day. They were perfectly fried and crispy--exactly how hash browns should be. Over Easy Eggs: It's surprisingly hard to find a place that doesn't overcook these lately, but mine came out exactly as ordered. Pancakes: I swapped my toast for pancakes, and they were fluffy and light. They serve them with soft whipped butter and syrup, which makes a huge difference. The Service The real star of the morning was Debbie. She's essentially a one-woman show--running the bar, waiting tables, and serving everyone. She is absolutely awesome and keeps the place moving smoothly. It's rare to see that kind of hustle these days. The Verdict Don't let the "bar" label or the exterior scare you off. It's a friendly, welcoming spot with better food than most dedicated breakfast joints in the area. Give this place a chance--you won't regret it.

At first, we were going to be sat at a booth (clearly not the best decision as there wasn't enough room for all of us) My uncle is handicapped so it was difficult for him to get up again and make another circle around the restaurant. After we were seated, our orders were taken in a decent amount of time. Food took a good 35 minutes. I'd understand if there were more customers in the restaurant (now I see why there was not). But it was literally just myself and my family. Not busy whatsoever. Some of the food came and then the other plates we ordered took another 15 minutes. I asked the waitress three times for some soda. By the third time, she finally brought the beverages to our table. Being that we were right by the kitchen and she kept passing by, I don't see how difficult it would be to check in on paying customers. We weren't asked how the food tasted, or if there were refills needed - nothing. My family member asked twice for more napkins. She got 3 whole napkins each time. I asked once and got two napkins. No refills for the water or the soda and the senior discount was not taken off at the end. The waitress was so quick to watch me filling out the receipt to see if she got a tip. That isn't the first time I had to ask twice if the senior discount was taken off for my family members (who were paying for the meal so I know this can easily be done seeing as it is offered right there on the menu) Discount was not taken off. Checking in on guests never happened. I might as well have gone back to get the napkins myself. No refills for soda or coffee. The water was brought at the end of the meal. This is not how you run an establishment. Hope they make some changes.
