    The food was good but the rest was just OK. The coleslaw I ordered had no dressing and when I took it up to the counter to get it fixed, I stood there for 5 minutes becore they acknowledged me. It was bizarre since there was no one in line even though the place was packed. They eventually fixed the coleslaw but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. But to be fair, the cod tested very good and the French fries were good so I'll try it again sometime and update my review.

    Nice to have a casual fish n chips place close to home. The help yourself "sauce bar" is a plus. Definitely try out the garlic vinegar .... it's good. Casual seating inside with booths.

    We've been waiting eagerly for this Ivars to open for months and we were not disappointed!! We were worried because the line was long, but it moved quickly and the cashier was very friendly. We both got the two piece Alaskan rock cod and it was delicious! The food came quickly and was super hot and fresh. The inside was nice and clean, we were impressed since they've been packed, but the tables were cleared very quickly. We can't wait to come back and try the Kidd Valley burgers.

    Probably been this way for years, but that's maybe a jumbo shrimp, but certainly not a jumbo prawn. Why I just get the chowder which is still great. $12.50 for 8 little prawns and no chips.

    I saw that Ivar's opened up recently in the area, and I was so excited for a new seafood spot locally. My husband and I popped in for dinner and both ordered the oysters n' fries basket, and each had a fountain drink. It was about $36 for two people. I wouldn't have been bummed out if the oysters portion was a little bit more. The basket literally came with five, small oyster pieces and a whole lot of fries. Everything tasted hot, fresh, delicious, but I was surprised that there wasn't much to it for the cost of the meal. And never had my husband turned to me at a meal in a restaurant and says "So I'm definitely going to need some protein after this". The oysters were really soft and creamy, with a peppery sort of battered spice. And the fries are nice and crispy. If they could have added at least three more pieces of oysters, this would have been it. I'll give it another try again soon and order a sandwich instead.

    We went to the new Ivar's outlet Sunday evening and were very happy with the food.

    Every Rating should be 5 stars…read more I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Burger, and it was exceptional. The beef was perfectly seasoned and juicy, but the real standout was the quality of the toppings. The bacon was thick-cut and crispy, providing that essential smoky crunch without overpowering the sharp, melted cheddar. Everything is served on a fresh bun that actually holds up to the last bite. The Fries: You can't skip the sides here. The fries were hot, golden, and seasoned to perfection--exactly what you want to pair with a heavy hitter like the Bacon Cheddar. The Vibe: The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, making it the perfect spot whether you're a local or just passing through the harbor. The service was prompt and friendly, even during the lunch rush. Final Verdict: It's rare to find a place that nails the "gourmet" aspect without losing the soul of a classic burger. If you are in Gig Harbor, this is a mandatory stop. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!

The food is indulgent, satisfying, and clearly crafted with quality in mind, making it a strong contender for a go-to burger spot. That said, the pricing is hard to ignore. Spending over $80 for three meals feels steep, even considering the quality. Still, the flavor and execution make it an experience -- one best enjoyed when you're willing to splurge.

    Amazing food!! Thank you Matt and Leona!! Great job at our event for Rainier Olympic Nurses…read moreAssociation last night! The falafel wraps were delicious! Well seasoned with the amazing dressing. We also had turkey and havarti sandwiches, as well as a simple garden salad and soups. They worked with us to keep our costs down. They also walked through and cleared tables as we finished. Great extra touch. Thank you!

    We have been here many times. The last couple of times we've experienced extremely long wait times…read more(as in over an hour from when we sit down to when food arrived) and spent over two hours eating dinner because of it. During the most recent visit, we waited over 30 minutes for drinks, another 15 minutes for our kids' apple juices, and never received water. They were also out of several menu options. One of these visits was to celebrate a family member's birthday and it felt like they struggled with the big table (12 people). By the time we got to dessert/singing happy birthday and opening presents, everyone including the birthday girl was tired and ready to leave. Prior to these most recent visits, we have loved the ambiance and food options for kids. I like the cocktails and flatbreads. Staff have always been very friendly. I just would not come here again with a big group to celebrate an occasion, we've had better luck coming for happy hour.

    Netshed No. 9 is a must for the absolute best brunch…read more Ample outdoor seating, mimosas while you wait to be seated, fresh salads, enormous sourdough pancakes, and the most incredible cinnamon rolls that are so hot and fresh you'll be drooling over them. Since this is a popular place in Gig Harbor you can expect a long wait on a sunny day, but staff do a great job of turning tables and getting everyone seated as promptly as possible. So don't let the line deter you from going here-trust me, it's worth it to be patient for this one!

    Great place. Good luck finding a parking spot during the hours they're open…read more Excellent service; equally excellent coffee. I had the BLT, which was very good, but nothing I'd leave Arizona for (by itself). What WAS superlative in all regards was the Tomato Bisque soup, which IS THE BEST I've had. THAT I'd drive from Arizona for. Two of us at the table had the "Stuffed Biscuit" -- which was an excellent Portuguese sausage wrapped in a biscuit, all drowning in a sea of red gravy based on the sausage. One other person at the table with us had some form of pancakes loaded with all sorts of sweet stuff: I tried the stuffed sausage but wasn't offered a bite o' pancakes. Oh, what the young can eat! Other than parking is the matter of prices. Four breakfasts, 3 coffees, 1 soda: $125.00 before tip. Breathtaking food: breathtaking prices.
