I get the Tacoma dog! Always made to perfection never lacking on the ingredients. They have options for hot links and polish sausages too - can add a bag of chips with your dog if you'd like. Overall it's a perfect little place to stop and get a small bite and it's in the gallery parking lot so if your a smoker it's a easy two stop shop, getchu a nice doobie and a dog

Amazing!! Burgers seasoned perfectly, fresh cut fries, and a welcoming crew…read more What more could you ask for?! I visited six months ago from Vegas and still think about the burgers. I'll be back in Tacoma in March and this is on my list of places to go back to.

Solid neighborhood burger spot attached to a butcher shop/fresh veggie market…read more I had the triple onion crunch burger and I liked the sweetness of the charred/caramelized onions, crunch from the fried onion strings, and the soft onion bun. The gouda was lost in the sweetness, a saltier cheese may be a better option. As for the burger patty, it was cooked perfectly and was clearly freshly ground. However, today it was missing salt and it really needed it with all of the onions. I'd definitely go back and try their bacon cheeseburger and the pies/desserts.

The…read moreprices there are a little high for me.But I do like to go there and look around when i'm in town. I used to live in Tacoma. And came here often and still do from time to time. Especially during the summer when they're having events. Everything sold there is really high quality, hence the high prices, and the service is top notch.

Ok so I was like a kid in a candy store finding out that the point Ruston indoor farmers market had…read morefinally opened! Tacoma deserved this because driving to pike place is cool but we needed our own and we now finally have it. And not to be basis or anything because like place market is part of Washington culture but this point Ruston farmers market has the potential to be its own pike place and bonus it doesn't have a ton of trash all around, stench and just is 10x cleaner. But I love a good farmers market and here you can find everything from crafts to produce, meats, flowers, just speciality foods and so much more. It was so fun to see. I'm a huge bagel baker so I had to stop at the Seattle baking bakery stand because they had a ton of cream cheeses and so much more. Then another stand that caught my eye was the fresh cheese stand. Bathrooms here were spotless as well. There is a 2 hour free parking which almost isn't enough because there's also the waterfront and a playground for kids and tons of restaurants and other stores nearby. But you can pay for additional time. Some stands did seem a bit overpriced but you have to remember they have to pay a huge fee to be able to sell here so it's understandable. It wasn't overly crowded and I just can't wait to go back and explore some more.

Experienced I Luv Elotes at the Taste at The Puyallup Fairgrounds a little while back, and…read moreunfortunately the experience was a little underwhelming. My husband and I have developed an obsession with elote and elote cups over the last year or so, so we were super stoked to see them there. We'd never come across their stand before in other settings (other festivals, farmers markets, etc). We were doing the $5 Tastes so that we wouldn't load up on one dish and be too full (it's the way to go, trust me), so we were happy to see their $5 Taste was an Elote Cup! I'm going to chalk the experience up to the Elote Cups probably being batched, but it was sadly nothing to write home about. It was INSANELY watery and didn't have the usual flavor that we were used to. I mean it wasn't inedible, but it left quite a bit to be desired. I'd definitely try them again in the future if I came across them, but with an actual full sized serving and see if that would make a difference. Staff was nice, though!!

Go get some! Lot's of options. Win for the kids and adults. Check their Facebook for locations.read more

I went to the booth a few weeks ago with my kids. I got a Thai tea and they got yakisoba…read more We loved everything that we ordered. After they ate the yakisoba I went back and got them chicken skewers. I usually get the fresh spring rolls, but they haven't been available lately. Luckily, there are a lot of other great things to order.

I was so excited to try this place. Man what a disappointment! The noodles were dry AF and…read moreliterally had nothing in them (just noodles). The rice was soooooo dry bland and dry! The egg rolls were tiny spring rolls and were just FULL of grease. All I could taste with each bite was fryer grease (yuck!). The only thing that was good was the chicken skewer but it only had 4 bites on a stick. So out of all the food we ordered the only thing we finished was the skewer and the rest went in the garbage.

Service was fast as I waited for them to cook my order. No, they were not precooked! Ambiance is that of a farmer's market, so it was cool. I will have to come back to sample the rest of their items. Something tells me this is a hidden gem.

I've been here twice, getting the fish dinner and later sides of rice and beans…read more I thought the rice had lots of flavor, and I'll go back for more. The beans weren't my favorite at first taste, but they grew on me. They are flavorful too, and a tiny bit spicy. I'll order them again too. The fish was fried (not deep fried), straightforward, delicious. I love that there's a fish option with all the other meats. The price of the fish was on the menu, but I didn't see prices for the rice and beans sides. When the sides' cost was told to me, I was somewhat surprised ($9.44) as it seemed a little high. But I realize costs are going up for everyone and these folks planned, purchased, and cooked the ingredients for my tasty meals, plus they need to make some profit doing it. So, I'll pay it. They deserve it. The parking is awkward if not dangerous. It's worth parking on a side street half a block or more away. The location is great, very convenient, however.

Don't get me wrong, I think the two burritos I got at two different times were both good…read more But I'm also a huge fan of "value add" and, for me, one of the best parts of taco trucks is the taco truck sauce. When I was in SoCal last year, it was common to sit and eat your stuff there outside the truck and grab a bottle of the sauce and put some on every bite. It's part of the experience. Here? They put some sauce inside but not NEARLY enough. So want any other sauce? They give you two very small to-go ramekins and then charge what I think is quite a bit for it. But it also wasn't clear that that was the case until after I asked if I could get a few little to-go sauces. Just showed up on the receipt. So, my burrito with two little sauces was $22 with nothing else added. Nothing. There's an old saying about stepping over dollar bills to pick up dimes. I think even $20 for one burrito is kind of a lot. But I'd be willing to do it occasionally because it was pretty good. Instead, to save a few pennies, I probably won't be back. That's just a fact.

Well I have to say that I'm generally not a huge fan of specialty stores within theme parks, this…read moreone approached being an exception. The biggest reason is because of the nostalgia factor... They have dippin dots ice cream, including flavors I had never seen before! This is your standard ice cream and sweets shop with two exceptions - first, it's inside great Wolf Lodge, and second, it has a giant bear mascot. They've got all the things that you would expect from such a place - plenty of ice cream flavors, seven or eight flavors of dippin dots, and a surprising number of very large array of baked goods. It's located on the second floor, just outside the pool, and as such it's a great spot to induce that sugar high right before or right after a dip in the pool! Everything here is relatively expensive, just like you would expect a store inside a theme park to be, but again they've got lots of dippin dots flavors! It is not the best ice cream place that you will ever be to, but it is certainly not the worst either. If you stay here, you will probably end up stopping here as well!

Critiquing Bear Paw Sweets & Eats: A Disappointing Experience…read more Bear Paw Sweets & Eats, while having potential, unfortunately falls short in several significant aspects that contribute to its overall unsatisfactory nature. Firstly, the quality of the food and sweets at Bear Paw leaves much to be desired. The promised flavors and textures often do not align with the actual experience. This disparity can lead to disappointment for customers who were expecting a certain level of taste and satisfaction. Inconsistencies in food quality can undermine the establishment's reputation and customer loyalty. Secondly, the pricing structure at Bear Paw is notably unbalanced. The cost of the items offered doesn't always justify the portion size or taste. This disconnect between price and value can make customers feel as though they are overpaying for what they receive. Reasonable pricing is crucial for retaining customer trust and fostering positive reviews. Moreover, the customer service at Bear Paw often leaves patrons feeling unappreciated. Rude or inattentive staff can sour the dining experience, no matter how delicious the food might be. Friendly and attentive service is a cornerstone of any successful establishment, and neglecting this aspect can drive customers away. The ambiance and cleanliness of Bear Paw Sweets & Eats also contribute to its unfavorable reputation. A cluttered or unclean environment can detract from the overall dining experience and deter customers from returning. The physical setting plays a vital role in shaping perceptions and should not be overlooked. Some of the donuts also come prepared in weird/estranged shapes. (View pic below. Given to my friend Henry) In conclusion, Bear Paw Sweets & Eats disappoints due to its lackluster food quality, unbalanced pricing, subpar customer service, and inadequate ambiance and cleanliness. Addressing these key areas of concern is imperative for the establishment to regain its reputation and ensure the satisfaction of its customers. Without a comprehensive improvement strategy, Bear Paw risks a decline in patronage and negative reviews, hindering its potential for success.
