My family was visiting from California and went here with my husband and son while I unfortunately…read morehad to work. Apparently their first visit was so good that my husband kept insisting we needed to come back together because he was convinced I would love it. He was right lol. We came on a Friday morning around 11am and this place was PACKED. The parking lot was full and there were so many people inside that I was expecting us to have to wait awhile, especially since we were a party of 7. Thankfully, they actually had a table available and seated us pretty quickly in a corner. My only complaint is that it does feel pretty cramped inside. There are a lot of back-to-back booths and tables close together, and some of the walkways are really narrow. I'm personally not a huge fan of the space, but everything else about our experience made up for it. Our server was really friendly and attentive, especially considering how busy they were. All of our orders and requests came out correct, and she still stopped by to check on us in a timely manner. We never felt forgotten even though she was clearly busy. We ordered a basket of fries for everyone to share while waiting for our food and OMG THE RANCH. We don't know what they do to their ranch here but it was SO GOOD. You have to try it!! Everyone at the table agreed that their food was delicious. Ironically, I didn't even order breakfast lol. I got the fish & chips and they were spectacular! The batter was nice and crispy while the fish inside was perfectly flaky. The tartar sauce was really good with it too. And the portions are HUGE. I couldn't even finish mine and ended up taking the rest home to eat for dinner later, so I basically got two meals out of it. It was super filling and satisfying and still tasted amazing later after throwing in the air fryer. The prices seemed pretty fair too, especially considering how much food you get. I definitely don't mind paying when I'm getting a portion big enough to become another meal later. So yeah... my husband was right and I'm glad he made me come here! Good food, huge portions, friendly service even when they're slammed, fair prices, and ranch that I would genuinely come back for. I think Martin Way Diner is officially our new go-to breakfast place now. Next time I'll actually order breakfast haha.

I ordered the…read moreBelgian waffle with eggs and bacon -- I like how the waffles had a malty flavor instead of the typical buttermilk flavor. The syrup wasn't too sweet, and the butter cubes are at the perfect temperature- soft enough to spread over your pancake/waffle and not straight from the refrigerator.

We brought our hunger to Shipwreck Cafe to get some lunch after the No Kings Day rally on Oct 17th…read more We think this was our 2nd visit, but are not sure. We live on the Eastside, so we don't always get out this way. We received a friendly welcome and were seated right away. The waiter brought us water & menus and answered a couple of questions, then we perused the menu and ordered. There were TVs with sports games and they have a good beer selection. The dining areas are clean and it appears you can choose to sit in a room without TVs if you prefer a more quiet dining experience. We both got the cheeseburger and chose the soup as our side item. The burger was really good, with a nice crust around the edges, topped with American cheese and dressed with lettuce, fresh tomatoes and their "goop". I usually prefer mayo, ketchup & mustard, but I'm glad I ordered as is because it was a very tasty burger. However, the star of our meal was the homemade vegetable beef soup. Honestly, I could have made a meal out of a bowl of it! The broth was rich and delicious and it was filled with lean, tender chunks of beef. It reminded me of a good stew, but with smaller bits. On our way out we saw a display with some crazy good looking cinnamon rolls and almost brought one home for breakfast the next day, but our full bellies had us satisfied enough to save those for a return visit. We noticed they have prime rib dinners on Friday nights. The waiter told us they. In serving at 5PM until they sell out, which is a common occurrence. So, our next visit will be for prime rib dinner (and cinnamon rolls to go).

You know, I was honestly crossing my fingers for this place because with a 4 star yelp rating, you…read morenever know. I was pleasantly surprised! First of all, the waitress was very informed about gluten containing items including the French fries (not gf, they're battered) and she gave great alternatives on the menu. I got the grilled chicken sandwich on a gf bun with tater tots (no issues). I don't know what gf bun they use but it was good! The grilled chicken was so good! I rarely finish a sandwich as big as this but it was so good I ate until uncomfortably full. My husband got his fave, a bacin cheeseburger, and inhaled it. He and my teen said the fries were really good. My teen got the French toast as well and REALLY enjoyed it. Not pictured was my teen's friend's meal, the double burger on sourdough. That too was gobbled up. We ate outside on a windy day but that was our choice. The patio did pretty well at blocking the wind. Inside felt like an old time diner kind of. The bathrooms were immaculately clean. All 4 of us had large meals with drinks, left with full bellies, and it cost $110 including the tip. These days, that seems reasonable. I'm bummed this place is so far away because we'd definitely return!

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.

Which actually I guess I'm the one now assuming things would have been better in person, might have been exactly the same. Anyway, they clearly know how to poach eggs as I got one perfect-- and one overcooked. The potatoes with onion/pepper had the lack of flavor and under doneness of a microwave bag of obrien potatoes. The hollandaise was good, pancakes were good, compotes served on side good. Half order biscuits gravy mid, gravy lacked flavor and biscuit pretty dense.

It did not disappoint! I tried the Norma sandwich which was delicious. The tofu skin patty was unlike any other faux chicken I've had and so good! And because I'm always on the search for great vegan mac and cheese I had that as my side. Absolutely delicious! Very creamy. Portions are large here so I brought some of the mac home and am looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow. My husband tried the dip sandwich with a side of the mashed potatoes and gravy and ate every last bit. He loved it. It's a very cute cafe on the corner with friendly staff. I witnessed a man in need come in and take advantage of the program they have where you can buy a meal for a hungry person to come in in the future and have a free meal. That's a lovely service to the community. So glad I was able to finally patronize this great vegan business! I'll try to come back soon!

It had a beautiful mix of greens, beets, citrus, and nuts, with plenty of chicken. I loved the combination of flavors and textures... every bite had something delicious in it. This was definitely a salad worth getting excited about! We also had a rice bowl loaded with fresh vegetables, feta, and a creamy sauce. The cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions added so much freshness, and everything came together beautifully. Both dishes looked fantastic when they arrived and tasted every bit as good as they looked. We enjoyed beer and wine with our meal, which made for such a nice afternoon together. The exceptional service added to an already wonderful experience, and we left so happy with our visit. If you're looking for delicious food and great service, Uptown Grill is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

We dined here the other day for brunch. No wait time, and we got greeted immediately. My aunty…read moreordered a coffee, but we noticed there was a lipstick stain on it. The server apologized and quickly got us a new coffee! Accidents happen so we were just happy with the quick response to the issue. We ordered the chicken and waffles, Dungeness crab Benedict, and their classic sausage and eggs plate. Chicken and waffles were super good! Crispy chicken, and the waffle was nicely cooked. It also came with a piece of bacon which brought a good saltiness to the syrup. The Dungeness crab Benedict was also amazing! Instead of a crab cake patty, it was just Dungeness crab on top! Definitely prefer it this way because other restaurants tend to skimp on the crab when they do a patty version. The hollandaise sauce on top was nice and creamy and the eggs cooked perfectly. At the end of our meal, we did get the pie of the day. It's a rotating pie everyday. That day, the pie was a blackberry and peach pie. When the pie came out, it was well plated and the crust was flaky and hot. However, the blackberries were still a little frozen on the inside, so I don't think they allowed the pies to thaw out thoroughly before baking. In general, I would give this place a 4 out 5 stars just because service was good and the rest of the food was delicious. The restaurant itself is huge with lots of space for customers. They have a somewhat open kitchen concept, if you walk towards the bathroom you can see the cooks working hard in there. Cool environment and if you're looking for a place to have brunch and drinks I would recommend visiting.

It seems as if they sprinkle seasoning after it's cooked. There was no depth to this. Skip the Mac & cheese if they have it as a "special" side for the day. Noodles were wayyyy too overcooked. Cheese sauce was trash. Coleslaw lacked flavor, all you taste is a little vinegar and sugar. Cornbread was ok. It was a little over 15 min out the way to get here. Will not be back.
