Steak
Sonia S.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and had a steak and i think it was a strawberry switchel. Our waiter was friendly and our food was delicious. Steak had good flavor and although I do wish it came with a baked potato, the hand-cut fries were good. Came with a salad as well, the ranch was pretty tasty. The post their daily specials to their Facebook page and most of them sound pretty tasty.

Turkey bacon avocado melt with a side of fries. Hidden in back is a pickle spray.
Jung K.

A really nice bar and grill of the beaten path. Definitely feels like a local favorite. The sandwich and fries were better than average. The bartender/waitress was very friendly.

Chicken tenders with waffle fries
Toni Rose D.

What a nice surprise. I didn't even know this place existed. It's a really cute place. There are dollar bills on the ceiling and I wish I would have asked more questions about it. Per usual, I asked what the server's favorite thing on the menu and she raves about the chicken tenders. Funny since that was what I wanted anyway. I should have probably ordered something a bit lighter before going skating but I digress. The chicken tenders were flattened and definitely marinated as long as my sever said it was. It was so good that I devoured the entire dish even though I wasn't that hungry. I typically have more self control but I lost all that eating the chicken tenders. Would definitely recommend.

Fish and chips. Batter is excellent. Awesome tarter.
Todd D.

My wife and I along with our adult daughter and her boyfriend had dinner here on a summer Sunday evening. It was pretty good! He had a hamburger, she had fish and chips and we split a cob salad. Pros; Great food! The salad was fresh. The batter on the fish and chips was awesome. They had the best thousand island and tarter sauce I've ever had. Wow. It was great. It is in a nice location right next to our favorite bike path. So you can blend in some exercise. The beer selection was awesome. Cons: Cash only. Really? In today's world of e money? They had an atm. $2 fee. Stupid stupid. There was only one young waitress. She messed up our order. But she rectified it on our bill. Good save. They had a live band playing outside which was loud and bad. Summary: good place for great food at a nice location. If they could hire a bit more help and allow cards this would be a destination place.

Melindas favorito
Kath T.

What a great breakfast! Melinda's favorite is now my new favorite. Crispy hash browns topped with caramelized onion, bacon, dubliner cheese topped with delicious hollandaise sauce and Two eggs made your way. Honestly it's a huge serving I usually take half home for breakfast the next day. It warms over well. Thanks Melinda!

Wow. Cool little menu for a cool little place. Hole in the wall is an understatement, however, we…read morewent fully specials menu today. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would do it. We started with some amazing coffee, but when the most amazing biscuits and gravy came out, I was astounded by the rich mushroom gravy that was more of a stroganoff than a country gravy. The sausage set this dish off and topped with two eggs made every tastebud swoon with delight. Saving the best for last, these evil sorcerers decided to make French toast out of a dense, thick slice of bread pudding. Topped with a berry compote and vanilla drizzle, each bite had me squealing in ecstasy. I can't do regular French toast ever again!

Happy tummy. Literally, every single time I come here, I leave with a happy and slightly over full stomach. The wait is getting a little longer these days because I think people are catching on that this is the place to make your tummy happy, but if you want a retro boho style atmosphere with some of the best breakfast/brunch/lunch you've EVER tasted, you NEED TO COME HERE AT LEAAT ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. And if the French bread is on the specials, get one piece to share with your dining companion. If you aren't fighting over the crumbs and syrup, you just aren't doing it right.

We started with the patatas bravas, gambas pil pil (butter garlic shrimp), oysters (both raw and cooked), and a hummus platter, and everything was excellent. The true standout, however, was the smoked salmon Alfredo--an absolutely incredible dish and one of the best pastas I've had in a long time. We added some chopped jalapeños for extra heat, but honestly, it was fantastic even on its own. The dessert was equally impressive, with a cake that was incredibly moist and the perfect way to end the meal. The wine selection deserves special mention as well. They offer a great variety of Spanish wines that pair beautifully with the menu. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. The atmosphere is one of Octapas Café's biggest strengths. The restaurant features a beautiful, spacious dining room, plenty of outdoor seating, and even a private event space for larger gatherings and celebrations. Whether you're stopping by for tapas, seafood, pasta, or wine, Octapas Café delivers a memorable experience from start to finish.

I've encountered her before -- she isn't rude, just not at all welcoming. She asked us to wait for a moment for'something' which turned out to be stocking water bottles and napkins. We felt like an intrusion to tasks she could've worked on after seating us. We asked to sit on the patio in the sun - she seemed annoyed by this but acquiesced. The patio was quaint and the weather helped make it enjoyable. We were greeted by our server (wish I had her name - older lady in tie-dye shirt) she was welcoming, helpful with the menu, and very friendly! We ordered cocktails and brunch and enjoyed both! Dishes (Smoked Salmon Lox & Goats do Roam Tart) & Drinks were all good - see photos for more info. So go -- get past the hostess and you'll enjoy the rest!!! PS - I do remember from a past visit, the Beignets were good!

I've recently had a trip to Toutle for 4th of July. Not many places were open for breakfast on the…read moreholiday. My friend was only able to find this place so we went for it. GETTING THERE At first, we didn't realize this place is inside of a Toyota dealership. It's maybe about 5 min from the I-5 exit. It's extremely easy to get to and easy to find. Literally find the dealership with 100 Toyota cars and trucks parked outside haha PARKING Parking availability is just like any dealership. There wasn't a designated spot for the restaurant, but there was a huge gravel/dirt lot just on the outskirts of the main lot. We parked there since we had a trailer with a car on it. Its maybe about a minute walk to the main building where the restaurant was at. AMBIANCE/SERVICE It was 4th of July and the front had maybe 8-10 salesmen all lined up to greet customers. It was a little intimidating when we walked up since we weren't looking to buy a car, but the one closest to us understood we weren't interested and he helped direct us to the restaurant. Not much for ambiance. It is just like any other dealership. No special decor. Just a few lounge chairs, massage chairs, TV, and a brand new 2026 Toyota Tacoma parked next to the dining area for you to look at. The counter where you order at is fairly small. You just walk up, order, they give you a number, then you just grab a seat somewhere. There have limited seating near the counter, but you can opt out to sit at the tables by the front window where the display vehicles are. The staff was friendly and the food didn't take long to arrive. FOOD I ordered the breakfast pizza. I've had breakfast pizzas before, but this one is a little different. It comes with a biscuit crust instead of a typical pizza dough. Then it's topped with normal breakfast toppings like bacon, sausage, ham, cheese, and 2 fried eggs. The eggs aren't scrambled and mixed into all the fixings like others I've had, but I didn't mind this. This also had sausage gravy which I don't typically see on a breakfast pizza, but I enjoyed it. The gravy and the eggs helped balance out the saltiness of everything else. I enjoyed this version of a breakfast pizza with the biscuit crust, but it was a little too heavy for one person. I ended up sharing about half of it. I can definitely finish it, but I won't be moving for a while. The coffee was pretty standard. I also wasn't wanting anything too fancy, so it was exactly what I needed. OVERALL I enjoyed this place and I would come back. At the time, I didn't realize it was the same business as the location in Lakewood, which I've ordered from in the past on DoorDash. I've been meaning to check it out in person. But despite it being in a dealership, I'd say this place is still a good place to check out if you need a quick stop off the freeway.

Let me preface by saying, their food is always top notch. We always schedule our car service in…read morethe morning so we can get breakfast at Biscuit House (inside the dealership) I always get the cinnamon French toast (with fresh strawberries and blueberries! Yum!) my husband isn't as predictable, and this time he had the Spanish omelet. He said it was delicious, made with Chorizo sausage, Tomato, Green Onion, and Pepper Jack Cheese. Topped with Salsa. He also ordered country gravy on his hashbrowns. The omelets also include a fresh baked biscuit. If you are not up for a full breakfast, they also have a lighter-side menu, or delicious scones. Standard drip coffee or hot tea are complimentary. Over the years they have become quite popular, keeping busy not only with Toyota employees and customers, but also locals and you will see food delivery drivers picking up to-go orders. Usually our meal arrives in a timely manner (in fact, our typical comment is 'oh wow! That was quick!) but today it took 40 minutes to get our food. It was a Monday morning, order was placed at 10:32 and delivered to the table at 11:12.

My fries were cold and the fish batter was too thick and it was soggy on the bottom half. Fish inside was bland with no flavor. The poutine however was on the money! Very flavorful and a huge portion! My only real complaint was how slow the food came out. We sat waiting for least 45 minutes. Might have been a kitchen problem, so I will give them another try, hoping for faster service.
