First time visiting Model T Pub & Eatery. Dee greeted us warmly. Several Hi top & low top tables and bar seating available to choose from. TV's on each wall, & looks like a good place to go watch games. 2nd time visiting. Nice to see the two live Christmas trees outside the front of the entrance. I recently learned today that all businesses that have these Christmas trees, will donate them to a needy family that reside in our lovely Hoodsport community. Isn't that absolutely wonderful? We ordered a BLT subbed sweet potato fries and an 8 piece fried chicken and Jo's with macaroni salad for a side. We placed today's order to go and Kathy was very friendly and attentive. Being that it is Monday night football with the Eagles at Chargers, the place picked up business. The lively chatter was welcoming. A stark contrast to the quiet gift my Hoodsport neighborhood up the mountain offers every single day. I met the owner Eric, and Val who went straight to work in the grill area pumping out food. My husband liked his fried chicken , Jo's & macaroni salad. I asked him if money was not a concern, which chicken would he prefer, the Market or Model T? He quickly replied "without a doubt Model T!" It's pressure cooked to order and so juicy!" I had a taste of the Mac salad and it was delicious. One of the best macaroni salads I've tried. I enjoyed the BLT and the sweet potato fries. We did order a $9.99 bowl of the brisket barley soup. It was hearty, full of barley. I would prefer if it had more meat though. There were only tiny bits of meat in the to go container that had me questioning if it was a cup instead of the bowl I ordered. We have leftovers which is nice. And next time, I believe I'll order the taco salad. Val had just made one and its presentation was on point. read more

See all

So glad we stopped! What a great place for good price drinks and you gotta try the cowboy beans! Delish! Eric, who runs this spot, he came out and greeted everyone, so awesome! During the weekend, the back patio and smoker is on, we are coming back for that! read more

My sister and I always search for the best fish and chips. You would think on the Olympic Peninsula it would be easy to find .....but it isn't. The man who owns the VRBO we stayed at recommended The Model T Pub. We were pleased to find they served beer battered Alaskan cod which was moist and delicious. Served on a mountain of fries with delicious tartar sauce.....I was satisfied. The woman working the bar is an expert wait person. She was filling drinks, taking food orders and cleaning while the packed house watched the Seahawks. Next time I'm in the area, this is my new "go-to" for fish and chips. (Although the rest of the menu looks delicious as well.) read more

Just OK bar food, average price, the service can be a little dicey sometimes, a lot of politics going on with locals.

Broasted chicken is the way to go! Sat at the bar and the service was fantastic. Ambiance is a dive bar with no bad smells and nice people. read more

Model T Pub & Eatery - Great place to take a break on a long ride! - American Near Me - Hoodsport, Washington

Wife and I wanted some bar time! I wish we would have held off on all the oysters. Their food looks amazing and they gave us some pressure cooked wedges they make here. Sooo good crunch outside and tender inside! Great locals! We felt welcome from the 1st drink on!! read more

The staff - not friendly. The guy behind the counter (older white man with glasses), extremely disrespectful and unfriendly. Got our entire groups order wrong (no modifications to the order btw- literally just the order w/ our choice of side). Granted they were busy - but the attitude and the rudeness of the staff made this experience so unjoyable. We waited over 45 minutes for our pizza - the staff got attitudes when we asked if it was still coming, when everyone else in our party had eaten & finished and we still hadnt gotten it. Won't be back. & won't ever recommend. In fact - I'll tell everyone to stay away. Don't waste your time OR money. read more

Was here for lunch at the lunch hour on a weekend. Service was slow and the place was popular. Took more than a half hour to get food after ordering. Small footprint for a pub. read more

Model T Pub & Eatery - half of a half pound burger and fries - American Near Me - Hoodsport, Washington

The smoker experience was summer feature only and is not made I. House premade bought in another in kitchen in Chehalis and reheated: and you pay for the added luxury of Model T staff reheating the pre smoked food... don't be tricked people. This owner recycled other people's made foods and charges like he's making it and it not worth the cost read more

What a surprise. Was expecting a dive bar but really good food. Who knew? Clearly a local hangout but treated us great. Service was so nice. Thank you! read more

Good food and drinks. The service is excellent and the prices are great too! Parking is easy and we can't wait to check out Tin Lizzy this spring/summer. read more

I wish I could give 3.5 stars. We stop here every so often after golfing in the area. It's a great dive bar. This time we had food too. I got the cheeseburger and fries and it was pretty good. My boyfriend got the chicken and Jo's. He also liked his food. If you're in the area, give it a try. read more

Model T Pub & Eatery - Chicken and Jo's and a cheeseburger and fries. - American Near Me - Hoodsport, Washington

Initially had high hopes. Greeted fairly quickly and got our drinks pretty quick as well. Came back and took our order which we also got in a decent amount of time. We both really enjoyed our food and also had the cook send out another order of fish because he thought he overcooked mine ( which I didn't think they were) totally unexpected but pretty cool. It went south from there, the place had plenty of locals getting drinks and food and they just forgot about us. Finally had to get our food and take it to the bar to get a box to go and pay our bill. Real bummer because the food was really good and the beer was cold, but the customer service wasn't. Probably won't be back read more

Great food and service. Friendly local pub. The Model T Pub is the kind of place that keeps you coming back. The Chicken and Joes were crispy, hot, and packed with flavor, and the Chicken Ranch Sandwich was just as good--fresh and exactly what you want in a solid meal. The service was excellent, super friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The local Potlatch beer from across the street was a nice bonus, but the food and locals are what the Model T really stand out. If you're looking for a great spot to eat with welcoming folks, this is it. We'll definitely be back! read more

Regulars and staff created a fun place to stop. Fried chicken sandwich was delicious!

Forget the reviews by the Whiners. Covid times are gone and Model T has Full Staff back. I've been going to Model T for years. Great place!! **Inexpensive $6 Top shelf mixed drinks (Grey Goose Vodka/etc) - Great Cider my wife loves and all sorts of Beers on Tap and in Bottles. This is a small quaint Sports Bar and great place to watch the Mariners - Seahawks - Etc. Food is good with the best Broasted Chicken I have ever tasted. Great Onion Rings/Jo-Jo's and staff does everything to make you happy. The staff is super friendly. Bartender Colin always a pleasure to see and he takes good care of you! read more

Oh yes! Great hamburgers and icy beer. Friendly service even to out-of -towners. Bar is separated from restaurant with a rail, so beware if you have little ones. read more

Surly waitresses and you wait a long time for terrible food. Just walk down the street. It's an expensive crummy bar.

Awesome service. Great local drinks. Love the homemade ranch. Good sized burgers after a long day on the trail read more

Good atmosphere and generous helpings of food. However I would rate the quality of food as average.

Everything you could want in a local bar. This is the place to be! New owners care. Haves suggestions? Share it! Eric listens to his customers. My two favorite bartenders are Colin and Maddy and they know their crew. My favorite place to be aside from my couch! Often busy but stick around and be patient. It's worth the wait. read more

Pulled in to town late and they were the only joint open. Sat at the bar and quickly ordered a drink and a burger before noticing that none of the staff or patrons were wearing masks, in violation of state public health code. Then I noticed the sign that said, "THANK YOU JAY INSLEE for screwing my business and my customers!" so you know the owner is an edgy person who probably excels at conducting their own "research." However, it's not the governor of Washington's fault that the drink sucked and the burger was of school cafeteria quality and the owner should really take some personal responsibility instead of trying to shift the blame to Mr. Inslee. Cold bun straight outta the bag, gray meat, literally the worst burger I've had in recent memory and totally not worth $10 and being exposed to COVID and whatever other viruses are probably lurking there. The one waitress was nice but she can't mix a drink for shit. The other woman working made a loud, shitty remark about how woman who was recently murdered by her boyfriend probably deserved it. What a gross place, I should've just gone to bed hungry. read more

Great food and good, American loving owner and staff! The prefect stop in hoodsport. This "pandemic" has been hard on businesses and I'm glad to see these guys made it through and did it with style. The location is perfect, regardless of your end destination. It's on the corner as your head up to cushman or staircase or right on route if your going further north. The food is great, classic American bar food (they do have an under 21 section though!). The place is clean and the vibe is good. It's hands down the best place in the area. Don't be fooled by the crazies who gave bad reviews because this business owner expressed his opinions, as he has every right to. Go - enjoy and be glad you did! read more

I'm a veteran with a service dog. Was refused service because of that. Apparently they don't know ADA laws. Shame. I was told derogatory statements on top of that. Their beer tastes the same but their food isn't much to talk about. read more

Best place in town! The staff does a great job and I'm there when I'm in town- chicken is the best!! Highly recommend!! read more

Something about this restaurant spoke to me. Maybe it was its alluring sign telling minors to bring their parents to get drunk, or maybe it was the subtlety flirty waiter that I could tell wanted to meet me in the back. Either way from the second I stepped in such a fine establishment I felt like I died and went to heaven. I attended with my grandmother and rabbi. The latter wanted to pray before eating, and the other patrons, as well as the staff, were nice enough to join us in blessing our food. From there, I ordered the sushi, and my grandmother ordered the curry - both delicious. Unfortunately there was pork in my curry resulting in my rabbi leaving in a fit radicalized against pub t. The ambiance shouted AA meeting in the best way possible, from the tv playing Texas beauty pageant (8-10 year olds), every patron a 50-60 retiree stuck in small town America, wasting away chain smoking and day drinking, reminiscent to my uncle Oscar (registered). This place is truly the most tolerant place on the peninsula. Don't be fool by the Let's Go Brandon sign outside, or the don't tread on me flag hanging on the bathroom wall, this fine establishment is tolerant of all races, creeds, and sexual orientations. Shortly after my rabbi (transgender, gay) and my grandmother (lesbian) entered the restaurant with me, my boyfriend (I am gay) entered the restaurant. He is a practicing Muslim, and the staff was willing to allow him to not only make out with me passionately for the entire 4 hour feast, but they cheered us on as well. They were more than willing to talk about critical race theory and abortions rights, and I was surprised about how liberal their views were. Truly inspiring stuff. read more

Tried the Brisket Nachos and they were really good. Will order them again. Great Service by Colin. Love the bar. Highly recomend stopping by read more

Model T Pub & Eatery - Nachos with brisket - American Near Me - Hoodsport, Washington

Very low staff, the manager had to step in as the cook. The only other employees was a bartender who was also pleasant, but busy. She was trying her best... but with said the food came out cold, and the buns in our burgers were not toasted. I don't think I will eat at a small town restaurant again because of this. (I am one of those people who hate wasting food and usually pack my leftovers, and I almost chose to leave my food there) read more

The Model T has great chicken and Jo's and very good burgers. There is a section for seating of minors so bring the kids along. The staff are great, friendly and pour a good drink and there are multiple tv's to make watching sports, etc very enjoyable. read more

Really friendly and accommodating staff! Nice variety of food and drinks. Loved watching the Seahawks game with the locals!

If you like dive bars with dive bar food after a hike this is the place. Who the fuck cares what his sign says. It's 2022 if you can't handle someone having different opinions of something then stay the hell home. It was a male and female working and they were kicking ass trying to help everyone. Also if you don't like their opinion of their sign about our governor and don't appreciate how they handle business just stay home and eat your oatmeal with your almond milk while knitting your scarf. Jenna and Mike are a bomb duo. She suggested I take a tequila shot so I did. Once again it's 2022 start being open minded and support businesses that got screwed during shutdown. ALSO KATE .P. The food doesn't suck your face does read more

This is a great place to have a brew or two and the food is awesome. We recommend the chicken and jojo's. Best we have had in a very long time and the service was outstanding!! read more

We hiked Mt. Ellinor today and the whole family was ready for burgers and fries. We stopped in, they allow kids, and they have frosted glasses for beers on tap. Kids had Shirley Temples, we all ordered burgers and fries. Great burgers and generous helping of fries, hit the spot. Our waitress, server, and cook were hustling, busy Sunday night. The vibe is a casual bar that offers family dining, perfect blend. Grateful for this burger oasis after a hard days hike! read more

I have mixed feelings about this pub. It is the only real sit down pub in Hoodsport and whenever friends and I hike (which is a lot) in the area we always look forward to a beer afterwards and this is really the only place to grab one. We are always hungry but the menu here is typical fried pub food (which isnt my favorite). The cheese curds are a must do, but the rest of it.....meh. Service is hit or miss. I have had excellent service a time or two but usually it is slow and lacadaisical and they forget parts of your order or you have to get up and ask for condiments and refills and such at the bar. They are the only game in town so....Ill probably still go but it isn't my favorite and it wouldn't be a destination spot without the hiking near by. read more

Busy, and service could be improved. I waited for a half hour for my wings and then was told they forgot to put them in. Cheese curds and drinks were good. read more

Walked in to this small place with crowded chairs & tables. Immediately noticed the sign over the bar "Thanks Governor Inslee for screwing over our business and customers." The likelihood that the owners and most patrons are unvaccinated, all sitting around drinking en masse? Pretty darn high. Hard **pass** here. The only folks screwing over your business, are yourselves; alienating sane customers (A.k.a. tourists with money) who want to follow basic public health rules. read more

There customer service is shit don't go there ever I got kicked out because the bar tender didn't get my order right for my wife. read more

Good food and service. Jenna and Mike were great. You may have to wait if busy, however, have patience. Too many people in a rush this day and age. We had the wings, curds and onion rings. Good fried food. Love to stop here after hiking in the Olympics for food and a beer. For some of the poor reviews, if you don't like the Jay Inslee stuff, eat elsewhere--simple as that. Vaxxed, masked and happy to support small businesses. We've all been through a lot in the last year, relax, enjoy the food and the beer. read more

My hamburger was partially raw and cold. My entire basket was taken away to prepare a new burger. I got a new burger but the fries didn't come until we were ready to leave. read more

They only had one person behind the bar and she was so busy with food orders. She finally got some help! Busy place on a Saturday afternoon but the staff had a great attitude and was really friendly! We only stayed for a drink. Cute place. read more
