On previous visits we had their delicious wood-fires pizzas, but decided to go with pastas. We started off with a couple Old Fashions, followed by a delicious fresh salad with their garlicky Green Goddess dressing. For our entrees, I chose the spaghetti bolognese which was delicious, meaty, and hearty. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was perfecto! My husband had the pasta carbonara on fettuccini and it was so good - so creamy with delicious bites of smoky bacon. We were absolutely delighted with our meal! We were too full to try dessert, but next time I'm going for the tiramisu we saw others enjoy.

We've lived in Yelm, Washington for two years now, and we've given this place way more chances than…read moreit deserved. We've been here at least 5-6 times. The very first time, the owner was our server and the service was actually pretty good. The food was mediocre, but we figured we'd come back and give it another shot. Unfortunately, that first experience has been the exception, not the rule. We are huge wing fans and so naturally we ordered the wings. They were freezer burnt and they were the full wing the flat and the drum hooked together. We were not a fan of them. We've stopped in just for a couple of beers while waiting for our dog to get groomed next door, and even those visits have been uncomfortable. We've dealt with bartenders who were rude and completely unfriendly, and servers who seem to forget you're even there. We came here for Valentine's Day two years ago with a reservation, expecting a nice, romantic dinner. Instead, it was an absolute disaster. The staff looked completely overwhelmed, nobody seemed to know what was going on, our expense steaks were over cooked badly, we were ignored for long stretches, never offered refills, and the entire dinner was a huge disappointment. But we kept trying. Most recently, we brought two friends here because we really wanted to give it one more chance. We actually warned them not to have high expectations. Unfortunately, the service was just as bad. We were ignored, never got beer refills, and the food was terrible. Our friends left saying they never wanted to come back. Today, while waiting for our dog to be groomed, we stopped in for a couple of beers and ordered the JoJos from the happy hour menu. Six or so potato wedges that were overcooked and just not very good, with mediocre barbecue sauce and ranch. There is a new server here whom we've never had before, and honestly, she's been better than anyone we've dealt with here in the past. She's still pretty slow, but she is easily the best service we've had since that very first visit when the owner served us. And ironically, that same owner has completely ignored us every time we've been back and hasn't said a word to us since our first visit. At this point, we've tried enough times to know this isn't a one-off bad night. The service is consistently awful, the food is mediocre at best, and the prices don't match what you're getting. We genuinely try to support local businesses, which is why we kept coming back and giving this place another chance. But after six or so visits and multiple disappointing experiences, we're done. I absolutely cannot recommend this place. If you're looking for overpriced, mediocre food and consistently terrible service, this is your place! Otherwise, there are plenty of other local places that deserve your money.

We go to Farrelli's in Yelm pretty often and really enjoy it! Most of the time, you'll find us…read moresitting in the bar area, especially on Tuesday nights for trivia. It's such a fun, upbeat atmosphere, and the employees are always great to us. They recognize us when we come in, remember us, and always make us feel welcome. We are big pizza, beer, and wings people. Years ago, we actually owned our own pizza, beer, and wing restaurant, so when we moved to Yelm, finding a place where we could get that kind of food and atmosphere was important to us. Farrelli's has definitely become one of our go-to spots. The pizza is good, they have plenty of options if you're not in the mood for pizza, and we especially love the Korean wings. They also have a really good selection of beer, and it's always cold and good. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the trivia team rule. If you have more than six people on a team, you either lose points or have to split your team. We had been trying to get a big group of friends together to go and have a fun night, but it became such a hassle that we eventually stopped inviting people and just started going with a couple of people so we didn't have to lose points or split up. I completely understand having rules around team sizes, but it would be nice if there were a way to make it easier for larger groups to participate together. That said, we really enjoy Farrelli's and continue to go regularly. We've only gone a couple of times just for dinner, but we've been to trivia night many times. They also do all kinds of other events and activities, which makes it a really fun place to have in Yelm. Definitely recommend Farrelli's if you're looking for good pizza, wings, cold beer, and a fun atmosphere!

I was impressed to get our food quickly and they did well (just the two back there) with serving every other table with all the baskets they ordered together. Food views; impressed and kinda wished the front girl offered us dips right away, but either way the ketchup and mustard helped for the time. They have utensils at the far back with bottled sauces. Only found that out, by looking for a fork for my salad. Not a bad place for food. Service: the guy seemed like the owner? He was friendly and knowledgeable. The front girl seemed too serious to be there, but she was helpful. Might come back, they're a clean location and food is yummy. My son got a milkshake to go and maybe I'll grab one next time!

Yesterday, though, they really impressed us! We were on day two without power at our house, along with many others in town, so Mr. Doug's was absolutely slammed. There was a line out the door the entire time we were there, but they still got us seated surprisingly quickly. Our food took a while to come out because they were so busy, but it was well worth the wait. Everything was hot, fresh, delicious, and made just right! I ordered fries for breakfast...because, for some reason, that was exactly what I was craving, and they were crispy, hot, salty, and absolutely perfect! Sean got the chicken-fried steak and eggs, which was delicious, and Haley ordered the giant Doug's plate with ham, bacon, eggs, hash browns, sausage, and French toast. Everything on her plate was excellent, too! The service was just as impressive as the food. Our waitress was friendly, joked around with us, and took the time to make us feel welcome without making us feel rushed. The staff kept our drinks full the entire time. I'm extremely picky about my iced tea and need LOTS of ice, and they kept my glass full of both ice and tea the whole time! Sean had coffee, and they kept refilling it as much as he wanted until he switched to water. The entire staff deserves a shout-out. The host and bussers were working incredibly hard to keep things moving, and even our waitress was helping bus tables so they could get more people seated. You could tell everyone was pitching in and doing their best to take care of the customers. Even the bathrooms were clean and fully stocked despite how many people were coming through, especially with so many in town without power. All in all, we had a wonderful experience. Great food, generous portions, friendly service, and a hardworking staff that clearly cares about their customers. If you're looking for a good, fresh, local family diner in Yelm, I highly recommend Mr. Doug's! We'll definitely be back!
