We had the breakfast waffle and the lox waffle. I also had a side of poached eggs. Everything was seasoned and cooked well. I loved that you can order your poached eggs soft med or hard. Mine were perfectly jammy. I will definitely be back when I'm in town to try more things. My folks live locally and this is a favorite of theirs!

I'm genuinely a little confused about the hype surrounding this place and how it has earned "best…read morerestaurant" recognition because, food-wise, this was one of the more mediocre breakfast experiences I've had in a while. Being downtown, parking is already challenging. There's no convenient lot, so prepare to circle around and hunt for street parking. I was fortunate I found one spot in front. Once inside, though, I can see where some of the appeal comes from. The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. The intricate decorations, dim lighting, and rustic/modern aesthetic definitely give it that trendy, upscale brunch spot vibe. But maybe I've been to enough pretty restaurants too many times because the moment I saw the interior, part of me thought, "Oh, we're about to pay for the aesthetic, aren't we?" And... yeah. Kind of did.. We walked in with a party of 7, and I will absolutely give credit where it's due: service was excellent. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The drink menu was also probably the best part of my experience. I ordered a steamed latte and REALLY enjoyed it. If I were rating just the service, atmosphere, and drinks, we'd be having a very different conversation. Unfortunately, we came here to eat too. I had looked at the menu beforehand, so I already knew waffles were basically the main character here. I'm not knocking them for a limited menu when that's literally their concept. What I wasn't expecting was for the actual waffles to look so underwhelming compared to the photos online and on the menu. If you're imagining big, thick, fluffy restaurant waffles... lower those expectations. These are much thinner waffles. That works fine when they're paired with eggs, potatoes, and other sides, but ordering one by itself is another story. My husband ordered the House Waffle for $12, and when it arrived, all we could think was L'eggo My Eggo. Twelve dollars for a waffle that looked like it could've come out of my freezer at home is wild. Needless to say, it wasn't particularly filling for him either. I ordered the Classic Breakfast Waffle, and it was mostly fine. I finished my plate, but there's a difference between finishing something because it's delicious and finishing something because, well, you paid for it. Both the flavor and my appetite afterward landed firmly in "satisfactory" territory. Bacon was thin, but poached eggs were good enough. The hash brown potato waffle, however? THAT was delicious. Easily my favorite food item of the meal besides my latte. Unfortunately, it was also fairly small. They also seem to be very committed to poached eggs here. Not necessarily a complaint or something I'd deduct points for, but definitely something to know if poached eggs aren't your thing. I didn't see any options for eggs made any other way on the menu. The rest of my family didn't exactly care for the food either. My mother didn't like the scent of the food, my son wasn't a fan of how warm the black cherries were with his waffle, my husband was thoroughly unimpressed with his lonely little classic waffle, and I left nowhere near as full as I expected considering how much money we had just spent feeding seven people. That's ultimately where this place lost me. I can accept smaller portions. I can accept a specialty menu. I can even accept higher prices when the quality makes me understand WHY I'm paying them. But when you combine small portions + mediocre food + upscale pricing, the math stops mathing for me. Three stars because the restaurant itself is gorgeous, the service was genuinely excellent, and my latte and hash brown potato waffle deserve the credit. But the actual breakfast (the reason we even came) was far too underwhelming for the price. Maybe I'm missing whatever everyone else is seeing, but this one was a "glad I tried it once" experience for me. I wouldn't recommend the food at these prices, and I definitely wouldn't come back for it.

... Where do I even begin? The 3lb cinnamon roll? The…read morewaffles, the brisket??? Don't worry I took so many photos. Hash by FAR is the best breakfast place in WA. By FAR. Now I was influenced by all the tik tok videos I'd seen of this place.i thought ooo this place looks good! I wasn't prepared. Not at all. My husband and I went around10:30 on a Friday and checked in at the front, signed our name up and waited for maybe 3 minutes. Got seated very very fast and started spying on the tables around us, you know " a fact finding mission" Need to see what others are ordering and saying. They have a large menu and a really good variety of breakfast and sides as well. This was great for me because I wanted a waffle. A big waffle with butter and syrup.... Plus to try something more adventurous. They brought us out a sweet cornbread with I think Marion Berry butter. So so good. I ordered the Beechers brisket hash and the side waffle. Chris ordered the strawberry agave mimosa and the BBB. Food came out within 10 minutes and was hot and smelled Devine. Look at the photos. I mean, what else needs to be said? Everything, every single thing was phenomenal. There was no weak dish. Hashbrowns were cooked to perfection, brisket melted in your mouth. The hollandaise sauce plentiful and delicious. The waffle was huge. They actually asked how I wanted my eggs and listened! Best over hard eggs! I love that the syrup is on the table because I covered that waffle in syrup and when they give you those little mini things of syrup it kills the vibe. So River of delicious maple syrup aplenty, I do appreciate the little containers of butter as I can't be trusted with butter and waffles I'd have gained 20 pounds from the butter alone. Smart guys very smart. Our sever was fantastic, they were busy busy but he took the time to listen to us try to express how impressed we were. We were mid food coma at this point. I don't think we were forming words, just excited food nosies. Now, the 3 pound cinnamon roll. We took this bad boy to go. My husband is big on cinnamon rolls and considers himself essentially an all knowing cinnamon bun being. 10/10 they are sweet fluffy and smothered in frosting. ( I am unfortunately allergic to cinnamon but he assures me it was the best) Prices, honestly I thought it was going to be way more expensive. The plating of the food alone looks expensive. The food was so good I forgot we did eventually have to pay the check. But when it came my flabbers were gasted. $60 for 2 very large breakfasts, a side waffle that wasn't a side at all it was huge Belgium waffle a mimosa and the 3pound $14 by itself fyi cinnamon roll. We took probably half our food home and had dinner and breakfast the next day. It was tons of food. I even joked to my Husband that I might not leave this review because I don't wanna make it busier than it is so we could keep it quiet so we could come back all the time. This place is worth waiting for. It will be a regular stop for us moving forward. If you are reading this, do yourself a favor and just go just go and experience it for yourself. It will not disappoint.

It was super sweet(I'm aware full sweet is full sweet, I've had all my bobas full sweet, this was "I need water after every sip" sweet, hard rock clumps of brown sugar at the bottom) and then, the boba was soft but disgusting! Tasted so bad, texture was good but I honestly threw it away. The brown sugar boba at the bottom had a bad aftertaste, and the boba themselves tasted like.. can't even put my finger on it. Tasted bad, not edible. I had a couple and that was it. Waste of $8. If this review is all over the place, that's exactly what was going on in this drink. I was done. Picture is before I threw away, couldn't even finish half. Kudos to this place, the first boba I've ever thrown away. I've even had a Jack in the box boba that had super hard pearls and I spit out about half, but the drink was still edible/somewhat enjoyable.

I have visited here and it was my go to for myself and visitors since moving to Olympia and always…read morehad a wonderful experience ... until yesterday. I gave a 5 star rating a year ago although visited several times since then. I can't figure out what happened. Did the chef (s) move on, or pass away and a crew from a local fast food restaurant was hired as a replacement? I ordered the meal with filet, crab leg, lobster (portion?) with baked potato and Death by Peaches for dessert. I have had crab legs here before. This had been boiled until there was no flavor, and very ittle meat. And that was the selling point for me. The lomaster was fine but the sauce wasn't hollandaise as the bartender said. A watery, mustardy sauce. Not terrible but not very good either. Ordered filet medium, came well done. I took it home hoping to add to chili but too tough to eat. Took the baked potato home to save room for dessert and it was good. The real slap in the face was the dessert. I have ordered Death by peaches over and over and was never disappointed. What arrived was a heavy, dry, dense cake without much flavor, some peaches and a small scoop of ice cream. It needed a lot of ice cream or peaches to get through it. I left most of it. I don't mind splurging and I have without complaint but this was such a a disappointment. Most of the patrons were older and I had to wonder if management feels their expectations are lower? I will close by stating that wait staff and bartenders are top notch. Including Isiah from yesterday. Above and beyond even with a busy crowd. Never a complaint about the service. You are no longer my go to restaurant that I can depend on. Oh, had two drinks that were fine but the wine list is meh.

My steak was medium well despite asking for medium, the mashed potatoes couldn't be swapped for anything and weren't great, and my son asked for no mushrooms but there were plenty in his dish. Chicken Fettuccine sauce is delicious, but the chicken is a bomb of lemon in your mouth. Salad was a little too heavy on the dressing, but good flavors and a good portion size. Fried artichokes had a delicious garlic aoli included. Creme Brulee - my son loved it to the point of scraping both of our bowls to the last tiny bit. I though it was okay but the sugar was bitter. Highlights: Clam Chowder and our awesome server (he had a beard). Both are worth returning for!

My family was visiting from California and went here with my husband and son while I unfortunately…read morehad to work. Apparently their first visit was so good that my husband kept insisting we needed to come back together because he was convinced I would love it. He was right lol. We came on a Friday morning around 11am and this place was PACKED. The parking lot was full and there were so many people inside that I was expecting us to have to wait awhile, especially since we were a party of 7. Thankfully, they actually had a table available and seated us pretty quickly in a corner. My only complaint is that it does feel pretty cramped inside. There are a lot of back-to-back booths and tables close together, and some of the walkways are really narrow. I'm personally not a huge fan of the space, but everything else about our experience made up for it. Our server was really friendly and attentive, especially considering how busy they were. All of our orders and requests came out correct, and she still stopped by to check on us in a timely manner. We never felt forgotten even though she was clearly busy. We ordered a basket of fries for everyone to share while waiting for our food and OMG THE RANCH. We don't know what they do to their ranch here but it was SO GOOD. You have to try it!! Everyone at the table agreed that their food was delicious. Ironically, I didn't even order breakfast lol. I got the fish & chips and they were spectacular! The batter was nice and crispy while the fish inside was perfectly flaky. The tartar sauce was really good with it too. And the portions are HUGE. I couldn't even finish mine and ended up taking the rest home to eat for dinner later, so I basically got two meals out of it. It was super filling and satisfying and still tasted amazing later after throwing in the air fryer. The prices seemed pretty fair too, especially considering how much food you get. I definitely don't mind paying when I'm getting a portion big enough to become another meal later. So yeah... my husband was right and I'm glad he made me come here! Good food, huge portions, friendly service even when they're slammed, fair prices, and ranch that I would genuinely come back for. I think Martin Way Diner is officially our new go-to breakfast place now. Next time I'll actually order breakfast haha.

Martin Way Diner did not disappoint! We popped in for…read morebreakfast, and although the diner was busy, we did not have to wait to be seated. This was our first time at Martin Way Diner. When we first walked in, it felt like a classic diner. And it is! In all the good ways. The diner is clean, the coffee is hot and flavorful, and the portions are generous. My husband had the Build Your Own omelet, topped with Jack Cheese. And they did not skimp on the ingredients. The cheese was nice and gooey, and the flavors melded perfectly. I had the French Toast. Again, generous portions, and the slices were thick and perfectly battered. Not soggy, slightly crisp. And the syrup was warmed! Sometimes it is the little things. The bacon was crisp, just how I had ordered it, not limp, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Our server was Shawna, and she was personable and perfectly attentive. We were seated where we could observe the cooks, and they functioned like a well-oiled machine. All in all it was a good experience, and I would highly recommend. An added bonus: there are glass partitions between the booths. It really helps keep the noise level down. This was much appreciated and I wish more restaurants would do this. The next time we are at this end of town, we will be back.
