This Irish pub did something really fun--they feature a pop-up bayou menu with a Cajun chef, and I…read moream truly hoping this turns into a full-on Cajun restaurant one day!! I'm a gumbo girl through and through, and my guy is all about crawfish étouffée, so this was basically made for us. Everything hit the spot in that comforting, rich, "yes, I will need a nap after this" kind of way. And we cannot skip the homemade moon pies--absolutely worth every calorie. No regrets. None. Also, the hurricane drink? Yummy doesn't even cover it. Let's just say it matched the whole vibe perfectly. If this pop-up becomes permanent, I'll be first in line.

Stopped by Doyle's Public House on a Sunday morning with a friend and had a great experience. We…read morewalked in, found a table right away, and were able to order immediately, which was a nice start to the day. I had the veggie scramble and it was both tasty and filling. Plenty of flavor without feeling too heavy. My friend went with the bagel and schmear and was happy with it too. Service was efficient. Our waitress was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion size. There was a game on in the background, without being too loud or distracting. Solid spot for a relaxed breakfast. I'd come back.

Nice little spot attached to Acorn Brewing. The staff was friendly and let us know our team was…read moregood for both sides. Kind of a speak easy vibe with the attached entry from the inside of Acorn Brewing and a little dark but comfortable with music and a TV. I would like to see a larger selection of whiskey, but t's a nice symbiosis for a group with mixed tastes from hard cider to beer to hard liquor. With a food truck outside and TVs inside and a patio in the back, it's an enjoyable place.

We walked in not really in the mood for pizza or seafood and honestly didn't expect much--but we…read morewere seriously impressed with the food. Even though they were busy, the young busser went above and beyond and really made the experience stand out. Great service goes a long way. Thanks again, man--we'll definitely be back!

The food was okay. Hamburger meat was good but the bun was dry and sauce was bland. My burger was a…read moreblue cheese with bacon but the blue cheese was mostly absent. Too bad. The regular fries were over salted and the truffle fries were really not good. Seemed like flavored powder. I was disappointed. The shake was overly sweet. I only tasted the chocolate and peanut butter and banana. Of course, that is very tasty but overly sweet and the ice cream seemed not even to exist. Everything is expensive but that would be fine if the food was exceptional but that was just not the case. The service was very friendly and good. Kudos to the staff. The space is huge. It is attractive and the noise level is pretty good for the number of people in there. High ceilings help. One problem with the number of people though is there are only two unisex toilets available and my wait time was ten minutes. I may have gotten unlucky with my timing but it seems like two larger restrooms plus the single unisex bathrooms would be in order for over a hundred people.

I lasted about 10 minutes with the expertly led and intense line dancing lessons from the young lady. There seemed to be a lot of people here at this large venue and most took the free line dance lesson. I loved that Steel Creek has happy hour pricing on Thursday nights. We had the $5 margaritas and had a fun time with our friends. Now I know of a country music venue in the downtown Tacoma area for future occasions.

The atmosphere is kind of dive bar, but with really great food and cocktails. The tots, which are…read moremore of a croquette, are always amazing. We've also enjoyed the brussells sprouts. On our most recent visit we tried the nachos, and they were honestly the best nachos I've ever had. The cheese sauce is amazing- not some gross canned stuff. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, and the ingredients are layered throughout so you're not stuck with a bunch of plain chips. It feels silly to be gushing about nachos, but they are next level. It's not cheap, but well worth it!

Dirty Oscar's Annex - Disappointing Experience on 6th Ave…read more We came in as a group of seven, and unfortunately the experience went downhill quickly. First, the service was poor and disorganized. One of my friends arrived early and ordered her drink, but it didn't arrive until after I had already received mine -- even after she asked twice. We also had to wait far too long for basic things like napkins and forks because we weren't given enough for everyone. The most frustrating part, however, was the automatic gratuity. At no point were we informed -- verbally or on the menu -- that parties of 6 or more are charged an automatic 20% gratuity. We only discovered it by carefully reviewing our checks. And to make matters worse, the so-called "20%" was not actually 20%. It came out to 24.1%. When we questioned it, the person who said she was the manager claimed "the computer does it automatically." We are a table full of teachers -- and the math was definitely not mathing. We understand and respect gratuity for large parties, especially when the service is great or when it's clearly communicated. But charging more than the stated percentage crosses from poor service into a billing integrity issue. To add to the frustration, there is also a credit card processing fee, which again was not clearly disclosed on the menu and only appeared at the bottom of the receipt. This absolutely should be visibly posted before ordering. They did offer to refund some of the charges, but we declined because it would have taken additional time and we had an event to get to -- and more importantly, it doesn't resolve the core issue of lack of transparency. She also gave each of us a $10 gift card, but again, that doesn't resolve the issue. And honestly, what good is a gift card if we don't plan on returning because of such an awful experience? Overall, this was a very disappointing visit, and not one we would recommend based on service and transparency alone.

First time visitor to Tacoma and holy heck this place was great... the vibe for Friday happy hour…read morewas off the charts... it made sense that there was no availability for tables so we opted for bar! Luckily we got there around 5 and were able to get 4 bar seats. Our server Colin was awesome! He happened to be from San Diego like the rest of us which made for great conversation and attentive service! The Happy hour was not just a good deal but the food was outstanding.... We ordered the oysters, chefs burger (OMG), empanadas (delicious) and the star of the show was the prawn and turf (that sauce and sourdough combo was amazing) Literally counting the days till I'm back, golfing at chambers bay and stopping by asado on the way back.

We got the Lomo ($68) and the Parilla Mixta ($50) with the mashed potatoes and the polenta. The last time we came here, they brought out a delicious complimentary bread but it seems like they don't do that anymore. My boyfriend liked his lomo (filet mignon) and it had a nice sear and the chimichurri and demi glace was delicious. My parilla mixta was yummy but the skirt steak was on the blander side and the sausage was nothing special but I really like the shrimp and the polenta was delicious. Overall everything was fresh and the food came out quick and our waitress was really nice. The restaurant wasn't too crowded when we were there but it looked like it was filling up and it is a cute spot for a date night or dinner with friends! It's definitely on the pricier side but we would come back to try their pastas or other dishes!

First, one person in our party was unfairly "cut off" with no legitimate reason or justification…read moregiven by the staff. We had only just arrived and ordered one drink before this took place. The "manager" was completely unprofessional. Maybe this is part of the set up. Let people spend their money first and then take away their drinks. Second, when trying to request a couple of songs that were more well known, the DJ informed us that the songs were already played earlier and he was not allowed to repeat songs. Instead he continued to play music that catered to maybe 10-12 of the same people who knew the dance. This was later in the evening and one would think that some of the more popular songs could be played again to get more people on the dance floor. It's a simple model really. The more fun people are having, the more they will want to stay, and will continue to spend their money at your place of business. However, based on our experience and what seemed to be lower patronage than we would expect on a Friday night, I would say the Big Whiskey Puyallup is the opposite of a good time. Between rude, over-the-top staff and poor choices in music, we are completely dissatisfied with the establishment and will not return. From what I've seen in other written reviews, we are not the only ones with this opinion.

* Business closure notice* Heritage Distilling Co. still has…read moreamazing products but alas all of the company's tasting rooms are closing. The Gig Harbor location closes at the end of December ( of 2025). We were over in Gig Harbor this past weekend to see a friend and were actually surprised to to see this tasting room still open. We knew that Heritage has closed many tasting room locations already and just assumed that the Gig Harbor location closed some time ago. But nope, they are still around for a few more weeks. We got some spirits here. I got some miniature bottles of vodka and whiskey and Steve got a spirit that has an amazing Earl Grey flavor so we definitely had a nice purchasing "Hurrah" here before this location closes. Despite all tasting rooms closing Heritage Distilling will still exist as it is going to a production only operation.

They have surprisingly diverse menu (which surprisingly had a cork cover!). Nachos with chicken hit the spot and is such a comfort food for me. Chicken nachos were good.

This location has seating both inside and out on the patio. Or grab your food to go and head to one of the nearby parks! Recommendations: (1) Try the Fire Soul, a marinated sliced Korean pork sandwich. (2) Try the Bulgogiger, a marinated sliced Korean beef sandwich. Both are so good!

Whoaaaa Nelly!! You talk about GOOD EATS!! I've been grubbin on Burger Seoul since they opened the…read morefood truck on 19th. The quality over the years has NEVER WAIVERED! Always top notch!! My fave has been the Bulgogiger (with extra cucumber on the side!)...rocked with that for YEARS. Then when Young(I'm prob misspelling his name- sorry!) gave is top three (Avacosoul, pork belly and the shrimp), I had to try something new! Im tellin y'all the PORK BELLY WAS FIRE!!! I was wary at first cuz usually pork belly is TOO TOO fatty/greasy for me...this WAS NOT! The flavor was on point!!!! The next time around I tried the shrimp burger...omg...knocked another one out of the park! The patty seemed to be minced shrimp with BIG chunks of shrimp in it. Fried so crispy! But NOT greasy or heavy! And the SAUCE was SO good!! Tartar sauce on a whole new level!! Every burger/sandwich I've had has been good! I will say this: the sandwiches are in the papers for a REASON!!! Don't take them out of the paper!! Just FEED FROM THE TROUGH! These burgers/sandwiches are BIG, JUICY, SAUCY deliciousness!!! Don't try to be cute about eating them! Just feed your face, get lots of napkins and enjoy! The Fire Fries have always been a fave. The Biscoff shake is off the chain. Do yourself a favor and get some jars of the pickeled cucumbers, the kimchee, and the pickled veggies...they are all fantastic!! I am devastated I can't get the pickled radish anymore. Every employee I've encountered has been so great! They really have an awesome team! Love the music choices playing. Restaurant is on the smaller side, can't be helped- just the size of the building. Always clean! If you haven't been, get yourself to Burger Seoul! Your belly will thank you!!
