Kudos to our server, Kat, as she was so smiley and friendly! We ordered the house rolls that came with honey butter and salmon dip that came with house made crackers. These were both amazing!!! My drink was a key lime martini. It was perfectly balanced with sweet and tart! My husband order the beef bolognese with handmade pasta. Tasted just like Italy! I ordered the catch of the day: pan roasted Coho salmon. So flavorful and cooked perfectly. Desert was the coconut cake with homemade vanilla ice cream. Flavors were great but the cake was too dense for my liking. The ice cream however, so creamy and perfect!!! This is a great place for a date night or special occasion. We look forward to going back and trying some steak! Is it worth the drive?...yes

I'm a marine i will eat shit off the floor when I'm hungry and *tried* to force myself to like it, but realized there was just no fixing that horrible mess. The service was spectacular and extremely pleasant, and I'm sure would have handled the order well if i wasn't willing to force myself through such an arduous torturous disgusting quest to like something no human being, except maybe a salt deprived desperate fishmonger after a year long desert journey would ever be deigned to desire.

First let me start by saying the food was delicious and from the literal hundreds of times I have…read morebeen to the Family Pancake House, it is most always great food. I walked in the door with my two grandkids at 7:20-7:25PM, (close at 8). We were seated and asked for drinks. Grandkids ordered milkshakes and me a decaf coffee. The Host said, "I'll have to make a pot so it will be a few minutes", great. about 5-10 minutes later the waiter came by, She asks if we had ordered drinks, I said yes but the Hostess had to make a pot of decaf and were still waiting on their milkshakes. another few minutes and the, hostess or waitress, I forget which says, "i'm sorry but they have started cleaning because we close in a little while and they have put the coffee away, I still have caffeinated coffee if you want that.....REALLY! So, 1. do you serve until closing, 2. do you have a limited menu between like 7-8pm because they are cleaning. 3. Are patron refused standard service if the get there before 8pm. Maybe you should close at 7pm so the staff can get out the door at 8pm. Now the service, kids waited too long for their milkshakes. Waiter served the food and said she would return to fill the empty water glasses. Granddaughter had pancakes, and the waiter forgot the syrup, after waiting several minutes, I had to get up and peer around the corner and ask for the syrup, when she brought the syrup she realized she forgot the water refills. OK on top of all that, when my granddaughter ordered her pancakes the waiter asked if she wanted to add eggs or bacon with that, she said bacon. The waiter said two or four slices. Granddaughter replied TWO. The waiter forgot the bacon, and when she served the food said Oh, your bacon will be right up. I watched her got to the kiosk and 5 minutes later served the bacon, 4 slices not 2. Of course when we got the bill it was billed for four slices. My recommendation...DO NOT go the Family Pancake House after 6:30PM in the evening. Again, I have been frequenting the establishment since 1964, when they first opened on Kitsap Way at the original location. I will not go back for dinner service. Funny side note, two other people that came in and sat behind us asked for decaf coffee and were refused. That's three cups of coffee at $3.50 each. That's $10.50 plus tax and tip lost due to LAZINESS.

So I find it all around very positive experience there. Only thing I don't like about it because I'm kind of a crippled person I have a lame leg that hurts and so the tables are kind of low.

My burger had to go back because the order was wrong--and when it returned, it was somehow even more overcooked. Jeez.

The bar is crowded, shared tables which some people will love the social, communal setup, while others might find it a bit uncomfortable or lacking in able to have good time with their own company. It definitely encourages conversations with others though. Overall, it's an interesting spot with a strong identity. The experience is solid, but it won't be everyone's favorite depending on what you're in the mood for. Food was ok, but might want to eat before you go.

Never once did the server come by as ask us if we had any questions or wanted to place an order in for drinks. We had to of wait 10-15 minutes before we ultimately decided to leave. The server then comes around the corner and completely apologizes for forgetting about us. The restaurant is completely empty. I guess it was for the better anyways, the tables just felt grimey and gross. And the food costs were absurd. Never again will we set foot at this place and I'll make sure to warn others.

Food took a long time considering I was the only one in the place. I'll be generous and say "not good". Had to ask for chips and salsa. Ate just enough to realize I couldn't eat more. No to-go box.
