    Decided to go check out this place with my husband and didn't realize it's Friday night! It was so busy when we walked in. Glad we found a spot upstairs. The server was really kind and sweet! Got the good vibe from him!!! The floor a bit sticky but it makes sense since it's a bar and it's Friday night. We got Mac and cheese balls, and WOW They are HUGE! I feel like that can be a meal itself and it's way too much for 2 people if you having other food! We got Mai Tai and Raspberry Lemoncello Spritz! They tasted AMAZING! It didn't not taste strong but we felt a bit buzz after we done with the drinks! My Cuban sandwich tasted so good, the bread toasted perfectly, and seasoned so well. There was another server brought us the food and she gave us so many different dipping sauce to try!! My husband loved the burger, it has a kick from the jalapeño. If you like some spice, definitely try that burger. Overall, I had a good experience and we were vibing with the 2000s throwback music!

    Delicious! I love trying new places when I'm out of town and this place was so cute and had great food! Huge portions, I would share if I came again. The taco salad was amazing!!! The bruschetta was also very good!

    We really enjoyed the atmosphere but the food was not the best. The fried pickles I could not even eat, the amount of salt on them was brutal. Our Caesar salad had VERY dry chicken and they did not bring out silverware for both of us. We attempted to ask but had to get up and approach the waitors and three were in the back on their phones. They did have great drinks and you could tell the bartender was working her butt off! I think we may try it again for a second review.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and it did not disappoint! I was most interested in trying the infused alcohol. The flight was amazing! We got the Pineapple Vanilla Infused Vodka, Blackberry Bourbon, Blueberry Infused Gin & Jalapeño Tequila. They were amazing! Perfect notes of fruit or spice. The Gin was herbal forward. My favorite was the Pineapple. Fruity, sweet, just delicious!

    Fried pickles

    This spot had me dreaming about their fried pickles they next day! If you are a pickle lover, you must order their fried pickles. For cocktails, I ordered their infused tequilas: it was a jalapeño pineapple margarita. The first one wasn't as spicy as I would have liked, so I ordered it again but with added jalapeños and it was delicious! We just came here for cocktails but I'd love to come back and try their other drinks! Server was super friendly and attentive and their bathrooms are clean!

    Cuban sandwich
    Thornton A.

    Stopped in for Sunday lunch and a Bloody Mary, I had the Cuban sandwich with a side salad. It's an interesting version of a Cuban and it tasted pretty good but I'm not sure I'm a fan of this version. My friend had one of the burgers and liked it a lot. My Bloody Mary was overpowering, it had way too much Worcestershire sauce in it. I've eaten here before and both the good and drinks were better. The servers were nice and it's a nice space for some casual dining.

    Caesar Salad
    Tessa M.

    We love the forum in downtown Puyallup. The food and drinks are delicious and the atmosphere is great. I highly recommend the Caesar salad, French onion soup, and juicy Lucy burger. The service staff is always friendly and efficient. I love their trivia nights and happy hour.

    Good food, good beer choices, service can be a little spotty. Have had good and bad there. Good overall vibe.

Nothing was terrible, but for an average of $20 a plate, I expect better than average flavor. Everything just tasted... "meh." Like it needed one more round of seasoning (was ANY seasoning used?) before leaving the kitchen. Service was good. Nothing remarkable or outstanding to brag about but decent. And then there's the smell. Sweet Baby Jesus - IT. IS. BAD. The second you walk in, you get hit with a sewer/porta-potty odor so strong it's impossible to ignore. We honestly cut dinner short because no one wants to enjoy a meal while feeling like they're dining inside a gas station restroom. I guess that was a win for our wallet since we only ordered 1 beer each ‍ This place has SO much potential, which honestly makes it even more disappointing. Guess we'll wait another 2 years before giving it another try. Such a bummer.

This is a typical dive bar with regulars at the bar looking hazily at their libations. Soft rock played in the background and lots of high tops beside the bar. I was asked to order and picked out deviled eggs and nachos! How could you go wrong even if they were so so? Well, the joke was on our friend because they were delicious! The deviled eggs had bacon crumpled on top with sliced green onions and were served on a bed of greens! The nachos were well covered and must have been prepared in layers. Dive bars can have great food!

Typical dive bar and on…read morethe weekends has great energy and a mix of every type of human that walks the earth. - I don't know what changed from a few months ago, but our "experience"" last weekend was awful. My daughter had just turned 21 and we wanted to take her out, so about 10 of us headed into Bumpy's. The second we walked in we were greeted with eyerolls and a very bi**hy attitude from the bartender. Before we could even order, she yells "We don't serve anyone with a vertical". Okay - well apparently you don't like tips then? In Washington you can't get your horizontal until AFTER you turn 21. So that means the day of your 21st - you're going to have a vertical and probably will have it for the next 3-6 weeks after. Initially they tried to tell us it's the law. WRONG. The only law is that the establishment has to check the birthdate and the photo. The staff at Bumpy's wanted no part of that - which, how lazy can you get?! Call me crazy but I don't think many kids with fakes are going to get a VERTICAL fake! Use your brains Bumpy's. If the liquor board is on your a$$ for serving minors - it's not because you're serving people with vertical IDs. It's because you aren't checking the birthdate and the photo on the HORIZONTAL ID to begin with - and you clearly don't own a scanner. Zero reason to greet customers so rudely. Just bad business all around. Too bad, too.. We're good tippers. That bartender could've made about $300 just off us.
