Im a simple man. I see biscuits, i spend monies. I'm also a repeat customer, because the biscuits are consistently nom noms. P.S. the crew running this restaurant are rock stars. read more

2nd visit. 20 min wait in line. This place has a 70s nostalgic vibe and decor - love it. They have outdoor dining too. 21+ only for indoor/outdoor dining. They have a very limited menu but for breakfast/brunch it is perfect. If you love breakfast sandwiches, you will love the biscuit breakfast sandwiches. I recommend the Hot Hitter if you like a little spice for breakfast. read more

This is a great throwback to the 70's with a modern twist to biscuits. I ate the Loud Pack biscuit which was stuffed with prosciutto, egg over easy, aoili sauce and arugula - absolutely delicious and eventually had to use a fork in order to savor all of the flavors. Enjoyed a mimosa with my biscuit too. Love the funky decor of which your mother's cookbook cover could be found on the walls. It's an order at the counter kind of service which is perfect. Free and ample parking. Can't miss this restaurant when I return to the area. read more

Got there just before 8 a.m. and there was already a line, but service was quick. The biscuits were flavorful, and the avocado portion was generous enough for two people. The cheesecake was fire! Plenty of parking, great music, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're in the Tacoma area, this place is definitely worth a visit. Just arrive early--popular items sell out fast. We'll be back! read more

Overall I really enjoyed my visit. First off, I genuinely love the owner, Haley. I'm a big fan of how unapologetically herself she is and how she brings that energy and expression into her business. Like it or not, she makes her stances known, and I respect the hell out of that. It gives the place real personality. My girlfriend surprised me by bringing me here for my birthday after I'd been wanting to try it for a long time, which made the visit extra special. I will say -- and Haley, I know you read your reviews -- the girl who rang us up was a little snippy, which was a bit disappointing, especially on my birthday. Everything was rung up correctly, but the interaction itself wasn't the warmest. Food-wise though? So good!! I ordered the Fig Papa, which wasn't my first choice, but I was told they couldn't cook the eggs the way I wanted on the dish I originally wanted (which felt a little strange). That steered me toward this as a second choice, and honestly, I'm glad it did -- it was delicious, and I really loved it. I do still wish I could've tried my original pick the way I wanted it, but it is what it is. My girlfriend got the weekly rotating menu item -- a Mediterranean biscuit -- and she really enjoyed it. I didn't try it, but it was a huge portion. And let me just say: the biscuits here are unreal. Biscuits are usually a forgettable side for me -- dry, boring, whatever -- but not these. These are hands down the best biscuits I've ever had in my life, and I've been craving them ever since we left. They also had a seasonal pumpkin horchata, which I absolutely loved. It tasted like pumpkin pie in drink form -- creamy, cozy, and exactly what I wanted. For dessert, I got the cranberry bliss cheesecake, and my girlfriend got the Thin Mint cheesecake. Both were fantastic. Cheesecake can be heavy, so the fact that I basically had multiple dessert off this one piece of cake made me so happy. Despite a small service hiccup, the food, creativity, and overall experience were great. I can't wait to come back and try more items -- especially those biscuits again. read more

Since they took down my previous post. Let me try and say what I experienced in a different way. The place was dirty. Like really gross. And the booth that we were going to sit in had stains of a questionable nature on the seat. Not only that when I commented on it, I was called a liar and put down. I'm not trying to start anything with them, but the stain appeared to be human in nature. As for the food, The biscuits were wonderful but the gravy was disgusting. Maybe we got the wrong thing, but a place that promotes biscuits and gravy shouldn't have orange gravy that tastes bad. I will not be back simply for the attitude and comments of the staff and I don't recommend you go there either read more

The biscuit was a little over done but perfect for the sandwich. We were able to eat outside because of the beautiful weather. The only thing that was a negative was the loud music that was being played. The inside of the restaurant is a funky old vibe. You order from the counter before setting down. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu read more

The food, service and cost was on point! So delicious, I wish My stomach was bigger! Highly recommended and We will be back! When they ask your "Biscuit" choice get the Cheese!!! read more

Got here a little late, they open at 9am but we got there at 11am about 30 mins wait in line. We tried coming at 1pm the day before and left because they were sold out of everything but cheesecake. Today cheesecake was sold out It's very divey. Assortment of music and lots of things to look at while you wait for your food. I don't normally order horchata but their horchata Cold brew was a winner. Not too sweet w/ coffee after taste. I got biscuits n gravy w/ 1/2 sausage and 1/2 mushroom gravy. If you are looking for a old school simple sos gravy, this would not be for you. SP took it up a notch and the sauce has a subtle kick. I really liked the jalapeños. When they say they make everything from scratch... i think the pickled jalapeños included. This is a self service establishment so don't forget to bus your table before you leave. read more

I've come 3 times now and they're always "sold out". They close at 3pm supposedly but are sold out at 1pm? This is the last time I'll be coming here. read more

First time at side piece and we went in on a Saturday morning around 11:20 AM. There was a line out the door so we didn't know how long it would take; however, the line moved pretty rapidly since you order at the counter, you pay and then you choose your seat. There's actually a decent amount of seating so I wouldn't worry about that. We decided to order the hot hitter w/ a cheddar biscuit, biscuits (buttermilk biscuit) and gravy with half sausage and half mushroom, a latke hash brown that comes with sour cream and jam, an iced Horchata, and one ice Horchata cold brew. We waited about 10 minutes before our food came out and we were absolutely amazed. Everything looked and tasted absolutely delicious. The hash brown was evenly fried and it tasted so good with sour cream and jam, the biscuits and gravy were so luscious. The sausage and mushroom combo was perfection as the biscuit soaked up all of the gravy. The hot hitter came with a huge portion of eggs. I wasn't too big of a fan of the tomato jam, but I did love the bacon and cheese and the cheddar biscuit. I 100% recommend everyone go, if I lived nearby, I would definitely go back and try more items from the menu read more

It's been a minute since I've been to side piece probably over a year... the thing I respect most about this business is how much they value their community. I came in on a weekday because I was in the area and rarely does that happen anymore. The person working the register was super chill and laid back and helped me decide between 2 cheesecake. I've tried a few things here and ordered the "That's How it Comes" (apologies if that is not the exact name). It's a basic breakfast sandwich on a biscuit and maybe I'm a basic B, but that has been my favorite thing I've ordered here. It made it all the way home wrapped in its little paper wrapping and was still delicious. Still a 5 star taste and service for me from this Side Piece action. read more

What grabs your eye as you drive past is the "dank af biscuits". They couldn't be more accurate in describing the quality of their biscuits. I enjoyed the Hanna Montana with a mimosa. Reminded me of a monte cristo made with biscuits for the bread. Flaky and delicious without being too dense. The brown sugar cheesecake was amazing with very rich flavor and not too sweet. The cheesecake sells out fast and the store will close once they run out for the day. The staff was very friendly and the seating is a little crowded, so not great for large parties. They will also not sit you till your entire party is at the restaurant. I would gladly eat here again and would recommend to family and friends read more

After driving by this place for months on end, I finally stopped in to check it out. This place is a seriously great little hidden gem in Tacoma. It's a bit divey looking inside, but I'm down with that vibe and totally understand what they are going for. It's a cool spot to grab some great food. And the food, holy cow, it is so good. This gang is knocking it out of the park. I've tried a few different things here, and even stopped in just to grab cheesecake to go, and everything is always so good! Love this place, but be sure to get here early because it can get seriously crowded in a hurry and they will sell out of stuff every day. It's totally worth it though! read more

The Hannah Montana was so sweet, so savory and so perfect. The biscuit is the dream biscuit. It has that bit of crunch on the outside but super fluffy interior. I love all the things on the wall, the ceiling and everywhere you look. Got the Huckleberry cheesecake to go and shared it with my husband at home. I am craving this meal again! Love this place! read more

From ghost kitchen to their own restaurant the food has been phenomenal. I love introducing people to them and they all become quick fans. Staff and vibe of the restaurant is great. Make sure you read the signs and know their policies on underage guests. read more

You absolutely have to get here before nine on the weekends. I was able to order and get a table around 8:50ish. The line was outside by 9:30. I ordered a cold brew, mimosa, avacado toast to go, the baca and cheddar scramble dining in. Three people joined me and they tried the biscuit and gravy and the loud pack. Every single dish was DELICIOUS. When I hear someone say hidden gem, this is what they mean. It's small, tucked in a corner, and barely presents as a restaurant. I live around the corner and pass by everyday and I had no idea this was a breakfast/brunch spot. The cashiers were really nice and they have someone cleaning constantly. It's also not overpriced and you will have no trouble parking. 10 out of ten for me. Absolutely recommended. read more

Owner is amazing food is top notch inside and outside dining well known for their biscuits fabulous cheesecake on weekly rotation

Yes, yes, yes!! How many times has a restaurant just met expectations or was decent enough? This spot is great, the quality, flavor, not overly salty, fresh ingredients, thoughtfully prepared, I'll be back! Me and my wife had the biscuits and gravy (mushroom) and avocado toast. We did get potato latke, it's ok. I can do without that for the price. Great work side piece! read more

The wait was worth it! When we got there at 9:10 am we were already 15-20 people in. This is a casual place with a lot of personality. You order your food at the counter and then you find a seat. There is plenty of seating outside. The day we went, it was actually warmer outside than inside. We got the Southern tac which is a fried green tomato, balsamic onion jam, runny egg; the fig poppa with goat cheese and sausage and fig jam. On the side, we got an order of thick cut bacon (3 slices and they were perfectly crunchy and meaty).'we ordered a hash brown and biscuit w blueberry earl grey to go. I was impressed by the sturdiness of the to-go sauce containers. The prices were very reasonable for the quality. Some things to note--these aren't complaints: the drip coffee is weak (free refills), minors are not allowed for dine in (which is great if you want adult only dining), and the music is loud metal. Even when we left at 10:15, there was still a really long line. read more

It's been a while since I reviewed Side Piece Kitchen and I wanted to share that they have consistently have been superb each visit. I got really excited for the last week of August's specials as they were nostalgia blasts featuring dirt cup cheesecakes and teriyaki dippers which were my favorite thing to get in my school lunches. I had to practically beg my boyfriend to go and eventually just told him that they had a cosmic brownie cheesecake and he started telling me to get ready to go. We had an event to go to at 11am and arrived around 9:30-40amish and there was a line out the door but the staff here are always on point in ensuring there isn't too long of wait that we were efficient on time and able to dine in (we were ready to eat on the way up). The food was absolutely delicious, never had a bad experience here. I absolutely loved the presentation of the lunch meal and the teriyaki dippers were fantastic. My friend tried the Baca and said it was fantastic too! I also love that they have a fun T-shirt design contest and look forward to seeing the top three best designs. It's incredible how these guys are always able to come up with amazing specials, friendly service, and offer just great vibes with each visit. I feel like we visit them at least once a month, and honestly if I could I would try to come every week. We appreciate that they have a dog friendly patio. As a long time supporter of Side Piece Kitchen, I am so glad they are local, supportive of the community and small businesses, serve truly some of the best food in the country, and are just overall amazing people. read more

I'm not even a huge biscuit person but their breakfast sandwiches are insanely good. I love the maple one the best, but everything I've had from here is amazing. Love the latkes. I also love supporting a small business that stands for what is right. I would highly recommend Side Piece to all of my friends and family. I look forward to trying their cheesecake one day! read more

Side Piece Kitchen has the very BEST biscuits. Their biscuits are heavenly and the texture/flavor in each bite is perfect. I've had the biscuits on their own but the weekly specials and sandwiches are too hard to pass up-they always sound and taste incredible. In the past, I've tried their weekly special of the rosemary chicken and it's packed with insane flavor. The rosemary fried chicken was fried perfectly and it worked really well with the pickled onion, arugula, goat cheese, and lemon dressing. Just an explosion of beautiful flavors in one bite. The loud pack (on their set menu) is also very delicious, with prosciutto, goat cheese, aoli, and arugula. Their horchata cold brew was just ok(tasted watered down imo) My friend tried their mimosa and said it was delicious. I loveeeee how they decorated the restaurant with the picture frames (some of the pics have their staff in it) and artwork read more

Delicious sausage gravy on dense tasty biscuits. The bacon was thick but mine was a bit oily. I'm not sure but I'm guessing they fry the bacon. The service was quick considering how busy this place gets. There was a line out the door when I arrived and it got longer as I waited to order. The inside feels like they're trying to be retro with a 60s or 70s vibe. Pictures included of the entrance area. I'd come back for take out. read more

One of our favorite breakfast spots. The sizzurup and Hannah Montana are my favorite sandwiches. I always want to try them with the cheddar bae biscuit but they are always sold out by the time I get there. It's that good, you gotta get there early! Have had almost everything else on their regular menu and every item was thoughtful and fabulous. Also love the collabs and rotating items. I especially appreciate that they enforce the no holding tables before you order policy that is plastered around the restaurant. I love when a restaurant has clear expectations and stays true to their word, allowing for a quick turnover so people that have their food can eat at a table and get out of the way for others. Highly recommend! read more

Both sandwiches are the BACA. The sandwich was well executed. The only complaint is there was a lot of biscuit for the contents of the sandwich and sometimes it was a little bit too dry while eating it. The Latke hash brown was amazing! It was perfectly crisp on the outside. The mimosa and Bloody Mary were nothing special, but still good! There was a line right at 9am on Sunday when they opened but it moved quickly. Tables were filled fairly fast. There are some rules you have to follow like all parties being in line and ordering your food at the counter before you can get a seat so be prepared for that. It is small inside and it looked like most people were ordering to go, but most customers were kind and did not linger in order to make space for new customers coming in, who wanted to dine in. read more

Their version of avocado toast is top notch, loaded with fresh veggies, perfect poached eggs. The goat cheese is a nice touch to it as well. Huge portion so be ready to eat or leave with a snack for later! read more

All I can say is wow! Not only are the biscuits delicious, they are absolutely huge and absolutely priced perfectly. Both my friend and I had the Hannah Montana. Again, wow. She had the cheddar and I had the buttermilk and so fluffy and light. The sandwich had a scrambled cooked hard egg, ham, jam and some djonaisse. I couldn't eat all of it but made sure to take what was left home. Then I got a banana pudding cheesecake slice for my husband, it was the only one left since they were sold out of the others and I wasn't smart enough to order when we got there. He said it was wonderful. Be sure you go early because they sell out and that's it. Their service is prompt, friendly and even though I live in Auburn, for sure I'm going back. read more

Side Piece has been on my radar for a really long time. Veggie biscuits and gravy are hard to come by, and I've heard they do it well. This place is small so if you're planning on staying you'll want to get here early. I got here 10 min before they opened on a weekday and there were already people waiting in their cars. Thankfully I was in early enough that finding a seat wasn't a problem. This place is pretty simple with no frills, just great food and service! I loved the funky décor! Lots of old school cooking book covers with the occasional Playboy cutout that's been slightly obscured. A little surprising, but it's 21+ in here and I'm down for that - fun little Easter eggs! Since it was breakfast time I got a mimosa - which was poured strong! Strong enough I was told that if I wanted more OJ to let them know. Biscuits and mushroom gravy were a winning combo! I would happily eat this over and over again. I'm really big on texture when it comes to food so I didn't know if I wanted to save the left overs, but decided to try anyway. I'm happy to say that the biscuit held up with no problems and it was just as tasty the next day! My brunch partner isn't too into bread products, but was able to get eggs & bacon, which were positivity received. My only regret is not getting cheesecake. Next time!! read more

The food was good but a limited selection. We used the pick up service to avoid the wait time. Biscuits and gravy was fire.

Tho place is so interesting honestly gave more than expected happy that a seat opened up after we ordered so we could sit and enjoy! The art on the walls alone will keep you entertained (no kiddos need to be in here for sure lol) food was very flavorful I'm a southern girly so a side of gravy was a must and it did not disappoint. Gave a cool "at your grandmas house back in the day" vibe and since it was the ur first time very informative service. She was even happy we found a seat lol Definitely one of my breakfast staples for the near future read more

Seriously love getting breakfast from here, the Baca is my favorite, my kids love the Biscuits and gravy. Brass monkey is a must while waiting for the food. 90's aesthetic with the light bright, so dope. Usually pretty busy but well worth it. Looking forward to see how they progress. Always disappointed when they sell out before I get there but I like that they set a goal of food/people to serve and then they take the day. read more

So many of my friends have been posting about Side Piece - it's eminently quaint and instagrammable - so I had to give it a try. I was initially going to take my parents when they were in town, but then I looked at some of the names on their menu and the cheesecake wall of.....let's say "cheesecake" (no slight against their food - it's flanked by pictures of topless women) and decided my partner and I would appreciate it more. Millennial businesses just hit different. Side Piece greets you with the promise that its food is "dank af," which absolutely sets the mood for what's in store. The kitschy 70s interior and muted color palette takes you back in time, and cheesy pictures of the staff adorn the wall. It feels like a business run by a little family of dorks! For some reason I was expecting disinterested, abrasive service, but we were eagerly greeted by a friendly cashier and enjoyed a warm service experience. My partner commented that she loves when diners like this have a table with their hot sauces out because it feels like she's home (a homeyness which means you also bus your own table). We ordered the Loud Pack (advertised as their favorite) and the Eggs Bis-enedict (eggs benny on a biscuit). But I was most excited about the fact that they serve beer for only $2.53. So of course we threw in two of those. The Loud Pack was astonishingly photogenic and the first bite was so good I had to lean against my partner to emphasize my glee. It's piled high on their signature homemade biscuit and it maintained its structural integrity throughout. Delicious. The Eggs Bis-enedict was creamy, rich, and massive. My partner made it through half before throwing in the towel. We had some concerns about the cleanliness - sticky cups and tables definitely gave that greasy-spoon diner feel - but if you're mindful about what you touch, Side Piece is definitely one of the best breakfasts in Tacoma. read more

Yummy breakfast sandwiches. We had 3 different ones and all were delicious! Even I; who doesn't normally choose biscuits as my normal bread choice enjoyed every bite of my (homemade tasting) biscuit breakfast sandwich. Staff was attentive & friendly. We got there at 12:22pm and out by 12:35pm. Couldn't eat there bc my daughter is 20 yo and you have to be over 21 yo to dine-in. It was smaller side with 2 halves for seating. And a patio outdoor seating area. It felt very retro quaint vibes, like you're dining at your friend's hippie mom's house, we didn't get there in time to take advantage of any cheesecake for the week. Next time maybe. read more
