I was in Tacoma for the night and was looking for a place to smoke a cigar. Their cigar store had an amazing selection. The cigar bar was spacious and the service was good. Lots of sports screens to watch. If your into darts this looks like a great place to visit. read more

Thunderbird Trading Post - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Convenience Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

This corner covers a lot and could possibly cover a variety of needs and wants. There is a convenience store here with a small grocery selection that covers the needs. The rest is mostly wants. There is a cigar shop next to the convenience store. Moving on past that is the lounge. It's not a bad place but I'm usually picky with bars. We have a friend that loves to do karaoke and this was one of the more nicer places she's requested our presence for. Not a bad beer tap list and plenty of mixed drink options to pick from. The darts are a fun recreational activity here too. The restaurant I've been to before a few years ago. It wasn't bad. Typical diner fare here but enjoyable enough. Interesting corner with plenty of options to pick from. read more

This shop is the m most swindlers shop I've ever come across I bought an electric rolling machine that was not explained to me when I bought j t it. Wasn't referred to me that O would need all new tube's to use and then when I went to return it they shut me down on some bullshit excuses and fake apologies I do m ot recommend dealing with thieves and liars and that's what they are. Conniving witches. Do not shop there at all, even read more

We LOVE your store. We have been customers for 20 years. We don't smoke anymore, so only stop by for Alcohol and snacks. Why are your employees no longer wearing masks? They used to all wear them. I have a serious problem with this. All four employees behind the front counter had no masks on. One had a chin mask on with nothing covered. We are in a Pandemic and people are still dying from this. Please please enforce your employees to wear a mask like require your customers to. The plexiglass has large gaps which render it virtually useless. I will be back when I see masks on all employees. I will reward you with my continued loyalty. Thank you read more

Love this place, definitely gotta check it out. Waitress even remember you and your drinks. Cool place to drink, smoke, shoot darts, or sing karaoke! read more

Thunderbird Trading Post - Bar area - Convenience Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The food here is good just American comfort food! The only downside is it's a little bit dated well maybe a lotta bit dated. Another downside you can smell smoke from the tavern. However the food is good portions good and we always get great service. read more

The Thunderbird Restaurant is at the far right of the corner lot thats called Thunderbird Trading Post. There is a market, cigar bar and a lounge also on the lot, but don't confuse any of them with the true gem of the Restaurant. Thunderbird Restaurant meals are: *FRESH *Made from Scratch *Flavorful *Brought to your table promptly *Served by pleasant, smiling workers! If this is your first time @ "THE Bird", get familiar with the huge menu on the entry wall because you're gonna want to check out ALL the meals coming to your future! Start with Breakfast and you will see why we say its made from scratch- Huge, Flakey, home made biscuits, under creamy, milk white, sausage gravy is hard to beat, but the WAFFLES! Mmmmm they're pretty darn light and crisp, also freshly made just for you, so bring a few friends or family to share BOTH all around the table. Portions are LARGE, so no-one is going home hungry. T-Bird has a great order process- Just walk-in, read the Menu Wall, place your order at the register, then get cozy at a table & wait a few moments for your server to amaze you with all the scrumptious goodness. Service is phenomenal with plenty of drink refills and friendly check-ins. Food comes quicker than you can recognize all the neighbors sitting around you in the dining room. By your second cup of coffee, you'll understand why this place gets the capitol "THE" in its name, because its going to be a destination you will want to return to time and time again! And by the way, its location is PERFECT-- ALL ROADS lead to Thunderbird, whether youre coming from downtown Tacoma taking Waller Rd from Pioneer...or from Puyallup starting at Pioneer and driving west across 72nd till it meets Waller, You can even take 72nd east from Lakewood till you get to Waller Rd... you get the idea, now get to "The Thunderbird Restaurant", you've got some "trading" to do!! read more

We had been going to this Resturant for several years and are very disappointed with the quality of the food and the way they treat their employees is horrifying with that being we want to let the owners know that we will be going in a different direction! We won't be back! Dennis Dillon read more

Quiet cigar lounge and shop on one side for the grown folks. A karaoke bar with dartboards, music and what not for the kids on the other. Both sides have excellent kitchens. I lived in Spanaway but moved to Olympia...I drive to Thunderbird because they stay open past like, 8pm. I personally love the place. read more

I have been here several times and always enjoyed it. My last order was the prime rib Mothers Day special and because of Covid, it was a pick-up. I was just as impressed. They didn't shortchange the order and all the change was done right. Will always be a favorite for me. read more

One of the best Cobb salads I have ever had. Fresh and delicious. Homemade dark cherry vinaigrette's outstanding. Service is warm and gracious. Really great spot! read more

This review is not about the food, it has always been good. However the last two times I have tried to go there only one person has been working the front. She is the waitress, the cashier, the Busser and has to answer the phones too. People are waiting it line out the doors, I waited for over 10 minutes inline both times before I left and the line had not moved a bit. This is NOT the waitresses fault, she's running as fast as she can. This is either cheap owners or bad management. read more

The last couple times I've been there the older lady helpped me and she is so rude and looks like she absolutely hates her job and everyone In The world. I will never come there again !! If I could give it zero stars I would!! read more

The Thunderbird has recently opened it's new, larger convenience store right next door to the old location. They carry the standard Kwik-E-Mart type stuff such as candy, soda, beer, tobacco, and whatnot-- but the tobacco products are cheaper here than elsewhere due to store's location on a micro-reservation. Fireworks are a big draw here around the 4th of July and NYE. read more

Thunderbird Trading Post - a truck parked in front of a building - Convenience Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Why is it that smoke shops have the most ratchet employees ever? Indifferent attitude by Blanca/Bianca(?), and inappropriate behavior when dealing with the public isn't a good skill set to have. I will say I was treated with respect by Ash--friendly and helpful, but I haven't seen her in a while. Probably bailed from that toxic environment. read more

This restaurant at Thunderbird is a traditional American diner. Inexpensive delicious comfort food. They have a wide variety of menu items from breakfast to dinner. So far I have not been disappointed with anything I have ordered. The service is usually quick, friendly and attentive. But there are occasions where it is not good at all. I will be back and would recommend it to anyone. read more

They were super short handed today and the wait was a little long...but it was well worth the wait !! The food was awesome, there ladies were hustling and doing a good job with how busy it was . The prices were probably some of the best I've seen for breakfast. We will be back. read more

We went there for NYE to relax in the lounge and listen to the music. The band was great, but it was the service that made it so great. They were very attentive and the prices were very reasonable. read more

This is a great place for breakfast if your looking for great service delucious food and good service. And delicioys pie. My friend Todd lives to take the whole group for breakfast SOS style for a very good deal. Plus they make good drinks . read more

Our drinks were on point. I come here all the time but tonight's service was horrible. Our main server didnt pay us ANY attention. Passed our table mulitples of time and still said nothing ((long black hair)). Thanks to the server with black and blonde hair came to serve us ((paige))) she was awesome. read more

The food here is great the service is excellent if you don't believe me just come on in and try it enough said time to eat

This review focuses on the cigar lounge. The selection of cigars is top notch. I have been frequenting this establishment for more than a decade now, and can say I have not come across a better selection of cigars in the Puget Sound area. The prices are not as good as they brag about. There are no discounts that I can tell from the Indian Reservation status. The turnover of employees seems to be high, so there isn't a staff member knowledgeable to help a customsr needing advice about their cigar purchases. The lounge area is large and can accomodate dozens of patrons. The cleanliness of the lounge is lacking. The ashtrays are always overflowing, the carpet always in need of a good vacuuming, and the tables are always needing a good wipedown. The lounge seems to always be in disaray and in need of organizing. All in all, it is a good cigar lounge, just one with poor management. read more

I go here every month with my Franklin Pierce cronies... We're nearly all always satisfied. A server didn't show up yesterday, so our one favorite gal, who usually for 7-8 of us doesn't even write our orders down, had the whole place to herself, and it was full..No the water wasn't refilled, but it was all good. I'm not impressed with their salads, so I don't eat them, but their chix fried steak..breakfast.. is the BEST. I had their apple pie the other day... IT WAS FABULOUS.. and I'm not an apple pie fan. The regulars, and there are a lot of them, sit back and relax, and take it all in their stride... Old ladies can sometimes get crabby... Try it .. you'll like it. read more

My family and I come here often for breakfast & everything is usually great but today not at all. Upon entering the waitress tells us that it'll be awhile, no problem I guess there's only 1 cook there today. So it takes about an HOUR for our good. But the customer service was HORRIBLE. My dad found a long blond hair in his drink after being told there was no sweetened tea but previously there was? And I also asked for strawberry lemonade like usually but apparently no strawberry lemonade how does that even happen I don't know the waitress told my dad that's not her hair and shrugged it off! My sister and I got country fried chicken steak not that good my food was cold, my sister and I asked for no veggies but extra bread guess what no veggies and no extra bread. I won't be coming back but my dad likes it here read more

Great selection of cigars. Super nice people. Great beer. Great food. Nice, well-ventilated cigar lounge. I come here from San Diego for business, and I always stop by for a beer, a cigar and a meal. What a find! read more

Has all of my favorite energy drinks at the convenience store, and without tax! 5 stars!

Great place to go but smokes and snacks. The also have a drive through as well. Make sure to go there when the various tobacco rep's are there to get dirt cheap prices on a pack of smokes. read more

Tonight was our first time eating in the restaurant and it was okay... they only had one waitress during the dinner rush. Kind of confused by that. The food was fast but the waitress wasn't. I got the sirloin steak, mashed potatoes, garlic bread and soup. The soup was good, My steak was well done when I asked for medium-well but that happens, and the mashed potatoes were kind of lacking in flavor. The portions were pretty good though and the prices aren't bad! I got a bloody mary which unfortunately had a weird taste to it. It took probably 25 minutes for us to get our waters and then they were never refilled... that drives me crazy because I drink a lot of water. We had to go up to the counter to ask for to go boxes and our ticket because we had been waiting for quite some time. If I'm in the area I may stop in there again but I wouldn't be like "OOO let's go to that one place again!" If I wasn't close by. read more
