Livin La Vida Burrito - I'd recommend!
Moani H.

Honestly this burrito was delicious! I'd very much go again. i got the livin la vida burrito and it was so good! quite large -- i only could eat half ambiance is a diner/pancake house feel, low key so i loved it lol. parking it street parking but there's usually a lot in this area. service was great it was a little long for just me and the other couple that were in there but hey who knows maybe they had a lot of online orders. i wasn't mad

Hmmmm. Grit city cafe and no grits on the menu. I learned the name is a nickname for Tacoma but still... I was looking for some grits. First let me say - I'd come back again. Second, the gravy was a bit too lukewarm, even for my liking, but it was tasty. I added a bit more pepper to mine. I had SMOTHERED COMFORT - as a bowl instead of burrito. Contains EGGS - HASH ROUNDS - BACON - SAUSAGE - CHEDDAR CHEESE - GREEN ONIONS - BACON GRAVY. I asked for no green onions - sadly they still came topped with onions. Oh well. But the dish was what I would expect. Bacon was crispy and the gravy was tasty. The place gets a bonus for having tapatío on the table. Coffee was hot and good. I couldn't help but notice the gorgeous bloody Mary's and I was envious. If we didn't have someplace to be i maybe would have had to try some of their cocktails. Also ordered half size biscuits and gravy, side of potatoes and 4 slices of bacon. Feedback was also lukewarm gravy and potatoes. It would have been 5 stars if the food was hot. Service was pretty fast, the dining area loomed clean and the servers were very nice. Thanks Breanna for the service! Parking was available right outside on the street.

Smoke salmon and Lox bagel- amazing!

Outstanding breakfast choice! Expansive menu with so many delicious options . My husband and I LOVED this place. Excellent quality ingredients, fast service, decent prices for the portions, clean restaurant, easy parking. What's not to love?? We will be back!!!

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but there is a major shortage of breakfast burritos that are available before 10am in Tacoma! I was really wanting a breakfast burrito at 7:30am so I looked at Door Dash. Grit City Breakfast was listed and open!! I ordered two avocado bacon breakfast for my husband and myself. The burrito was fantastic!! Highly recommend Grit City for a fantastic breakfast burrito.

Bagel with cream cheese and I asked for no onions. What do you see?

I ordered online through Uber when I called Uber to let them know that part of my delivery wasn't received they Said to call the restaurant. When I called the restaurant they basically told me too bad so sad you're out of money. Good luck worst customer service ever. When I opened up the box, he discovered that even though I had asked him for no onions, it's smothered in onions, please see photo below

Great menu

Not busy yet Sat morn. Their food is pretty tasty. It's just away from the 6th Ave hub. I don't think anyone has discovered it yet!! The prices are great here along with the food. Although I was talking to the waitress and they do not serve chicken n waffles on the wknds. So sad. It takes too long she said. I believe her. Coffee and iced tea are strong and good! Just across from Gray Lumber. We have been to the Comedy Club downtown but not here yet. Soon. In now on Labor-day Monday. Parking is great.. right up front! Today the darn waffle maker is BROKE....???!!! Damn I don't think I'm ever gonna get chicken n waffles. The chicken is fingers but I was willing to try it today.. nope. So havin the grit city breaky , bf chicken fried steak again and a cinnamon roll to share first!! They are huge and yummy.

I saw that they have hwachaeji for a limited time so I was motivated to stop by. My boyfriend, little brother, our two dogs and I got to the location around 6ish and we saw they had a couple outdoor benches. We also saw they have a pick up window which I thought was pretty neat. My boyfriend and I decided to go inside to order while my little brother and our dogs waited for us outside. They have a lot of seating inside, a well-maintained bathroom, a water station, a spot to open bottled drinks and more. You order through a kiosk as my boyfriend and I stood at the ordering spot and they seemed too busy to notice us. Once we placed our order, we saw how efficient the workers were at getting orders made. They were quite busy when we arrived and even afterwards as there was people coming in to order or pick up orders. We ordered the Saeuji, Seoul Burger, Bulgogiger, Biscoff Shake, Hwachaeji, Fanta, garlic French fries, and french fries. The food and drinks were all so good, but we all agreed that the Saeuji was the best of the three. The Biscoff Shake was refreshing and smooth and I really enjoyed the modern twist on hwachaeji.

Oh my gosh, this spot was like an oasis in a desert. We were on our way back from Mt Rainier to…read moreSeattle and were desperate for a burger. On our map showed up Out and About with amazing reveiws. What we did not realize was that it is in a U-Haul parking lot. This makes it a little bit of a tight squeeze if there is a long line but the staff here work fast to get your food out quickly to you. In total, it took less than 10 minutes from when we turned in and ordered to when we were leaving with our food. The burgers here are delicious - as many have compared, I would say they are akin to an In and Out burger, which is one of my favorite burgers. If I went back, I would bypass the fries. I like mine crispy and these were a bit limp. That's okay though because, again, the burger is amazing. Definitely worth a stop in. And in my opinion, the perfect stop if you're hungry and heading back to Seattle from a hike at Mt. Rainier.

First off, I'd just like to say that the location is kind of a nightmare. The drive-thru setup is…read morepretty confusing. It's a really tiny little trailer, so I understand they're working with limited space, but having cars loop around in what feels like a figure-eight can be chaotic. People get impatient, start honking, and it's easy to accidentally cut someone off without realizing it. They're just burgers, people--everyone needs to relax a little! That said, despite how busy it was, the line moved surprisingly fast. I ordered a double cheeseburger with everything, a side of onion rings, and a black raspberry shake. The shake was fantastic--definitely a highlight of the meal. The burger was also really good: flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. The only disappointment was the onion rings. They were incredibly greasy--so much so that they actually upset my stomach. I'm not sure if that's typical, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Next time I'd give the fries a try instead. One thing that really stood out was the pricing. It's refreshing to find a place that still offers fair prices when it feels like everything else costs an arm and a leg these days. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The burger and shake were worth it, and as long as I skip the onion rings, I think it'll be a solid meal.

Shake Shake Shake was the fifth local burger bar we tried thus far and it is hands down the best so far. I ordered a double cheeseburger, she-who-must-be-obeyed a cheeseburger. The patties were nicely prepared and cooked, and, most important protruded beyond the bun. Oh, the malts. My best girl ordered a chocolate malt. The lovely staff gladly and with no fuss navigated my adding chocolate and malt to their coconut and banana shake. We both vowed to return just for the malts so delicious were they. French fries were nicely prepared although I expected a bit larger portion for a basket. Next visit we'll order regular fries just to experience portion size. Ambiance?
