We have been here several times over the last year or so, I often meet for friends for breakfast here and sometimes the family goes out to dinner here. Typically the food is okay, it is nothing exciting or some culinary experience, it is just okay as it is a diner type place. However, lately it has been slipping in service and quality. Last night the we went there for dinner and it was almost empty when we got there, two other tables, greeted fairly promptly, friendly young server, but from there it just slowed down. We all ordered burgers, we asked for medium well to well, but medium well is good enough on a burger for us. First, our food finally comes up in the window after quite the wait, we can see it from where we are sitting, there are two servers working and our server is tied up taking an order from a 6 top that just came in. The other server has been grabbing and bagging to go orders for customers and delivery services but he goes over, sees our food in the pass, moves it a bit grabbing the plates, I assume he is going to be efficient like you should be and bring the food out for the other server that is busy. Instead he walks away, he goes back by it at least once in about 5 minutes, then finally as our server is putting the other order into the computer he decides to bring our food out no that it has been dying in the pass for so long, I believe it was to get it out of his way. My chili burger is rare to medium rare, the meat inside is cold and soft. I wave down the server, explain it to her, she takes the plate to the other server and asks his opinion for she takes it to the kitchen. If you cannot spot a rare to mid rare, cold red meat in center as not being mid well, maybe a diner is not even the place for you. Family enjoys their burgers generally, nothing exciting once again, I eat my fries, chili burger finally makes it way back, server suggests a to go box. Yup, pack it up and let me pay and leave. Three people having dinner there with some mozzarella cheese sticks for app, almost $100. Food sub par, service way down hill, this is the end. We will not be back. read more

Most tasty. We split the blue cheese bacon burger - half pound, nicely seasoned, nicely cooked, very tasty, withy the "side" salad bar sals (one each, very good) and root beer floats. I was surprised by how tasty my salad was. It's a small salad bar but has great variety and everything was fresh. Our server was pleasant and friendly. Our food was good. And we loved the little train that ran around just under the ceiling. read more

Visited this place for breakfast. I had the equivalent of what would be my go to omelet. It just didn't stand up to the other establishments where I have had this meal. It was edible, but lacked substance. The waitress could have turned up the hospitality level a bit. Coffee kept coming though. I honestly can not find it within myself to rate any higher than three stars on this visit. An average restaurant in my opinion. read more

The family went there for a Saturday breakfast which was very relaxed and had a home/ family atmosphere. They were quite busy, but service was accommodating with coffee and children's drinks. The breakfasts were large portions and very tasty. The waitresses were very kind and served with a smile. read more

I took my family here for weekend Breakfast. Food is good. We love it. We ordered Lodge Omelet, Fried Chicken and waffle , Chicken Fried Steak, BLT, and Monte Cristo sandwich. Note: weekend waiting time is about 45mins for a group of 5. I decided to wait there while other who came in and left. Front desk stated "No reservation!" First come first serve!! read more

This is TK's REDEMPTION SONG . I had another opportunity to come back to enjoy breakfast with a slightly larger group than before. I had a mimosa that was so beautifully done(tasted twice as delicious )I almost didn't want to drink it.I want to note that Kerri was an exceptional waitress. I ordered the veggie Hash with Tim's sausage gravy on the side and boy was it SPECTACULAR! I enjoyed my food with clean utensils as well. The other members of my party enjoyed theirs as well. This was a "no to go plate" situation. read more

So I guess after a couple visits it's time for a review. Keeping in mind that my group is a business oriented group who was giving this place a shot during lunch break. What that means is, we don't have all day to sit around waiting. This time I went with the Buffalo Chicken Breast Sandwich with Tater Tots. Focusing on the food for a second here, I was rather let down with this one. The "buffalo" sauce is basically just dumped on top of a deep fried chicken breast, and as you'd guess it was running out all over the bun making a soggy mess that was hard to hold and even more difficult to eat. The buffalo sauce tastes like it came right out of a bulk jug. As for the tots, I was actually excited to see this offering because I love tots over fries any day. Sadly, my tots were rather well done, probably hanging out in the fryer a couple minutes too long. They had no soft interior, they were basically just crunchy all the way through. So stepping away from the food, let's return to that conversation about my lunch break during my work hours. It took us a very long time to get our drink orders in, and another lengthy amount of time to get our food orders in. The wait for the food was actually getting excruciatingly long when I noticed a man be seated at the table next to us, his order taken and his food arrive all after our food order was taken but before our food arrived. To me this is unacceptable. There is no way another table should be seated after us, waited on and have food arrive all while my table is still waiting on our food. And again, we have an office to get back to, so there's that whole part where we are on a time limit here. As for the decor, it's nothing to write home about. It's clean, but it's by no means "nice". Average tables with average booths and a couple spots on the walls where some drywall repairs seem to be stalled in time. There's a train slowly making laps overhead to add to that kitschy feel. Personally, I'm not a fan. Overall, I probably won't be stopping back by, especially during the lunch hour. This one just takes way too long and the food wasn't that great anyways. Far too many better options for a prompt lunch literally doors away. read more

This place rocks! Food is excellent, prepared nicely and appetizing, served hot and fresh off the grill, just like how breakfast should be. I ordered the cinnamon roll and it was oozing with goodness, ate about 3/4 and I was done! Portions are great, service is excellent and served with a smile. They tell you hello and goodbye, something lacking in some restaurants where they take the customer for granted. NOT SO at Tim's Kitchen. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we will definately be back! Great service, great food and smiles always win! Thanks Tim's Kitchen for sharing some Aloha so far away from home. read more

Fire chicken and waffles!!! The chicken batter is just YUM and the chicken is nice and crispy not greasy. This spot is a gem. The jalapeño poppers with the spicy jam are delicious. Good sandwiches , chicken bacon avocado is yummy. I will say it can be a little pricey but it's worth it. It's a small restaurant so they do get very busy and sometimes have long wait times especially on the weekends. With that being said we usually have to plan strategically to come here but it never disappoints!! One thing I will note though is sadly breakfast is not served all day so you do have to plan for breakfast menu or lunch/dinner menu which just stinks because it's limiting. I wish breakfast was all day but that's just because I love breakfast. All in all Tim's is great and definitely worth tapping into!! read more

This was our first trip and we really enjoyed our meals. The coating on the chicken was PERFECT. The best I have had outside my mom's kitchen. Nice service, good COVID safety concerns. read more

Busy solid breakfast place. Like most places these days they are understaffed. Basic food. Not fantastic but not horrible. Just kinda Meh. I wouldn't go there again if I had other options but I wouldn't block it either. read more

Service was the only highlight of this visit, as they r still figuring the kinks out.. We ordered our food n it didn't come until an eternity later.. ppl were constantly looking @ the kitchen, (I guess 4 Tim, if u get my cheesy joke) Although food is made 2 order, like my Southern Chicken Sandwich which consists of real chicken, it was the size of a McDonald's Happy Meal Hamburger when it came out n is $12 .. really pricey sh*t! + not seasoned, as it was a bland king (yeah, no relation 2 Burger King) their tots were good, nice n crispy Good Root Beer Float that hold me over 4 the 1st chapter of my life there Next time.. I may have 2 time it right n come 3 hrs. b4 I get hungry read more

My best friend and I came here to check it out and the food was awesome! I got a vegan black bean burger with fries and my girlfriend got a spicy burger. Our waiter was so kind, she helped us come up with what we wanted. Their alcohol starts at about $8-$9 for a mimosa/beer so fair warning. My friend and I had a domestic beer and it was great! Can never go wrong with Mac n Jack. The food averaged around $16.99 to start as well. It's a super cute restaurant, I just wish maybe we got like more fries or something with our meal? That probably was my only complaint. Everything else was awesome, just the fries were lacking and looked sad lol. My fries came with my burger and so I mainly got the fries for my nephew, but I just wish we had a little more fries because it looked like just a small handful was placed on the plate. Also, our waiter never truly asked us if we wanted another beer, she just came with the check to cash us out so we kind of felt a little rushed towards the end. read more

What a disaster. So many things went wrong that I'm not even sure where to start. Wait time was 30 minutes to be seated - we knew this before hand but metioning as fyi to others. We were finally seated at a booth close to the salad bar. Issue with the seating in this particular area is that anytime somebody opened the main door, you'd freeze you butt off. So many people were coming in and out that we had to leave our jackets on with the constant cold air coming in. I'm just going to break down of what all went wrong. Wait time - long wait to take drink orders, long wait time to take orders for apps, food delivery time nearly 30 min for each course. If I remember correctly, we were here over 2 hrs that night. Ridiculous. Soda - tasted like carbonated water with no flavoring Sweet Tea - had to wait for them to make new tea. Of course this added more wait time. Appetizers were okay. I liked the potato skins and fried pickles Most of us ordered seasoned fries with our meal - the fries were not seasoned and mine were still frozen. One person ordered green beans with their meal. When the server brought the plate corn was on the plate instead. He proceeded to say, "oh, green beans are all out, we made an executive decision to find you a replacement. Hope that's okay." Wth, gave them the right to decide on behalf of the customer? Chicken fried steak- on the smallest place I can think of and the smallest piece of meat I've seen for this type of meal. Baked potato- one person ordered this as a side and the bottom was severely burnt that she couldn't eat the whole thing. Btw- this is also the person that ordered the green beans. Basically both sides were an epic fail. We usually order different meals and share them to sample. We tried: CPR burger - the cheese they used tasted off and very greasy. Although I requested no pink in the burger, that does not mean I wanted an over cooked, brittle piece of beef patty. It crumbled on my plate. Jalapeno popper burger - same issue as the other burger. Overcooked, very dry slice of meat and falling into pieces. There wasnt anything ordinary to this dish. I was really hoping because it sounded very yummy. Mac and cheese - covered in the same cheese that was used in grilled cheese. My kid is a fan of mac n cheese, this was the first time she thought mac n cheese was greasy and tasted very weird. Smell - everything had such a strong order of grease that it was making me nauseous. Service - it's very clear that most of the employees are new. We were very patient because there's nothing worse than figuring out a new job and having people be rude at the same time. Added pressure is certainly not needed. However, our servers couldn't figure out who should take care of us. One showed up and said she back to take our order and never did. A male showed up later to do this instead. The waitress came back and apologized for the wait about an hour later as if she was going to help us. For some reason though... once the food was served nobody checked on us. Did they already know how horrible it was? We were all done with what we could tolerate. The waiter handed us our receipts. I asked if he was going to take any feedback since nobody ever inquired if our meals were okay, or if we needed anything else. He kept cutting us off until I told him he needs to listen so he can share this feedback with the appropriate people. He said he would go back and talk to the manager. He came back and said he could give us a discount. He handed us the receipts and he gave us a military discount. The funny thing is that we had military vets at the table... one way or another they would have gotten that discount anyway. We are talking about $2.00ish. I think I had to chug alone $2.00 worth of tums after we ate there..... My concern is this place is going to tank fast if they dont figure it out. We spent combined a good chunk of money for food we couldn't eat. They should have comped for burnt food and under cooked at least. If you want gross and deep fried bar like food, this is the place to go. Otherwise, I dont recommend it at all. This surprises me considering all the hype in the media and the ratings the other location has. read more

Ordered the chicken tenders and waffles. The waffles are more seasoned than the chicken. Waffles were fluffy and delicious.

This was my 2nd visit since they opened under a new name. 1st visit- Went by myself for breakfast and sat in the bar. Order 1/2 classic Benedict and asked for the hash browns to be crispy. Service was slim to none. Male bartender had another couple at the bar and two tables. You could tell the couple at the bar were regulars.... I was handed a menu and asked what I wanted to drink.. not a how's your morning or any type of greeting. My food arrived and the Benedict itself was some of the best I've ever had. But the hash browns were a pile of mush... he never once came and asked me how my meal was. I placed my napkin on the plate not touching the hash browns. He asked me if I wanted another drink, I said no and he brought me my check. Never once asked how my meal was or if I needed anything else during my meal. 2nd visit: Today with my son... the server was super sweet however she seemed extremely overwhelmed. It was busy and seemed very short staffed and that's not on her but it showed in her service. she came to our table 3 times.. once to take out order, once to drop it off and once to pick up my card that I laid out. We were never offered refills which were empty during our meal. I ordered the same thing as before and again this place doesn't seem to know how to do crispy hash browns and again I didn't touch them... 14.99 for half an English muffin with a pouched egg, hollandaise sauce, and ham... again the best hollandaise sauce ever... but half a portion with no hash browns I wouldn't eat was not worth what I was charged. I asked about 1 pancake since my son won't eat the bacon or eggs and was still charged the full kids meal price. Not once did she ask how our meal was. Again, she seemed very overwhelmed in a very busy place but still... we got our food before the table next to use who was there before us and I overheard them saying they were about to pay for their coffee and leave because it was taking so long. Ours took about 20 min so theirs had to have been 30/35... I think there is potential but as of this moment I don't plan on returning anytime in the near future. read more

it's a flip of a coin. I've been there and the food was great. I've also been there and the Food was HORRIBLE!!! And it's no in between. it's either really good or Really Bad. read more

While visiting, I didn't appreciate hair in my nieces food. The manager at 720 tonight took a chicken sandwich immediately with fries, leaving the child with no food at the table. So now she's eating our food it took over 20 min for replacement food which they told us would be free. When food finally arrived, they added to tab when we asked to remove the manager refused rudely, taking food back, not apologizing to the child or us. Wow! read more

I have to break my rating in to two parts (Service and Food). Food: I would give the food 4 Stars. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich with tater tots. My sandwich was quite tasty, but I think that they should have covered the chicken with more buffalo sauce so the entire piece of chicken is coated. Additionally, the ranch dressing was a little runny for my taste. I wish their ranch was thicker. Service: I give the service 3 stars. The service was just okay for an afternoon lunch service (that was not packed). We ordered two sandwiches and it took 60 minutes for the food to come out and when it did it was delivered to the wrong table. I also ordered coffee with milk and they brought me out a small plastic cup (similar to what you put ketchup in) with milk. When they got around to give me a refill they never brought out any more milk. I know that this is a new location and it still has growing pains. I am definitely going to go back and check it out after a few months. read more

Came in because we love the Orting location. This was a different experience entirely. While the waitstaff was very friendly, they were extremely slow. We waited much longer than you would expect to order and receive our food. I think based on the foods temperature as well that it was ready before and sat waiting for our server to bring it. Food was alright, not great. Really a disappointment with how much we enjoy the other location. We will not be returning to Puyallup for sure. read more

This is the second time we came here. Best food for the price! HUGE portions. We can get 2 meals from one! The service is the best we've had in a long time. We had half order of hobo hash and an omelette. (Different flavors each time) We had a short wait to be seated, but well worth the wait! read more

No wait walked in on Friday night. I can say that the floor was a little messy I wished when they cleaned up a table they also ran the push vacuum over it but we'll live. We placed our order for fried green beans, chicken and waffles, 2 pc cod dinner with tots and salad bar and the grilled cheese with ham steak. While waiting for my food I took a trip to the restroom and it was immaculate which is a plus for me. I'm hoping if the bathroom is clean then the kitchen is clean as well. The fried green beans were actually great! The salad bar was less than desirable. I'm assuming since it's so close to closing time they did not re-up the empty items. Everything was hot and it was just ok. Fish was clearly boxed and fried. Waffles and chicken looked good and hubby said it was tasty. Overall good food, server was good wished it was a little cleaner. read more

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever encountered. Tim's Kitchen 126th and Meridian has got to have some of the most incompetent employee's ever. The service was so slow people were walking out and then it took us 45 min. at the counter to check out. None of them could figure out the cash register. Billed us for the wrong items over charged on the others. I have been to a lot of places but this was VERY BAD! This one will go in the books as #1. read more

Dang Tim! You just created a big fan in this family! So we had stopped in here when they first opened and like most brand new places there were some hiccups . So we reserved judgement and I am so glad we did! So back for round two, there was a short wait when we arrived for brunch which is always a good sign. This review largely chicken focused. The chicken fried steak has the crunchiest, best seasoned crust I have had in a long time. And this is my go to dish everywhere. We also chicken strips and chicken fried chicken at the table and no one was dissatisfied. Their French fries are extra delicious with a great seasoning. Their biscuit has some type of crack in the butter mix that will have me back in there as soon as my food coma ends! Side note that they have a salad bar. Rare sighting in Puyallup. Portions are large! Service was spot on. Always ahead on drink refills and very friendly from the check in desk to the team of servers that obviously have each others back on table patrol. This diner does breakfast, lunch & dinner. It's casual and welcoming! read more

Can only give five stars if the food is good, the price is good ($6.99 boxcar breakfast), it's clean and the service was good. Went on a Weekday, so I'm not sure for a weekend when it's busier. Real eggs, real bacon, not that precooked microwave ihop/Denny's stuff. read more

Worst service ever. If you go make a day of it. IIt takes forever to get your food. Maybe they don't have enough servers. We have been here at all times of the day. Today 5 pm , still took an hour for the food. Lousy lousy service read more

I had a great lunch experience here. Stopped by for a birthday lunch when passing through town. Our server, Kerrie, was attentive, hilarious, and needs a raise (bonus: she got our young son's order put through first without us asking!). Our food came out fast and was piping hot.y BLTA was soooo good! Lots of bacon and a full avocado in there. I picked tater tots for my side, but they give you tons of options. For dessert, my husband and son shared a giant sundae, while I had an awesome hand-dipped ice cream shake. I wish I lived closer because I definitely want to come here again. read more

Got 2 Monte Cristo to go, both came with no jam. Kinda ruined the whole point of the sandwiches. They were ok. Wouldn't come back.

We were driving down Meridian on our way to Black Bear when we saw this little restaurant and decided why not try something new! I loved the cute western atmosphere, there was even this super cool train going around the ceiling of the restaurant. We had good, quick service. Prices were definitely reasonable. The food itself was just okay. The biscuit was a little dry and over cooked and the bacon kind of had an old oil flavor. Everything else was good. If I ever returned I would definitely give the mimosa float a try! Sounds so yummy, I just wasn't looking for an alcoholic beverage on this day. read more

We've been ordering take-out here almost weekly throughout the pandemic. I have yet to experience "contactless payment". I was surprised to see how many people were dining in. They were seated in every other booth, but it was unnervingly busy. They no longer will bring your order to your car, but I understand they are too busy to provide that service in Phase 2.. If I were writing this based solely on the food quality, I would have asked for a 6th star. The issues are in communication and possibly just circumstantial problems. There is an exuberant young lady that takes orders, very quickly (again, super busy I get it), but details get left out, ie. extra gravy, 2 orders not just the one, etc.. Know your customers, some of us are hard of hearing and slow to process.. I do want to point out how awesome their chicken fried chicken is, and there are two "Crispy Fried" options.. 1 is single battered, and the other "Chicken Fried Chicken" is double battered. If you are ordering take out, get the double batter.. Unlesss you live 5 min from Tim's, your single battered breast will have turned to mush in the to go container.. but thank you for using non-plastic containers! read more

Wow! So glad we came here! We tried the one in Orting, heard they had a kitchen fire, found out about the one in Puyallup, I am sad to say I haven't over eaten like this in so long. Definitely save room for dessert! I had the prime rib, one of the best I've had! My wife had chicken fried chicken, chocolate bread pudding for dessert. Server was very knowable, helpful, and prompt. Will be back many many times!!!! read more

Service and the staff are always amazing, and the food is super tasty and never disappoints!

Breakfast go to Pancake House. Way better food and quality. We did not mind the 30 minute wait for our table but when we finally got our food it was cold and disappointing. My husband ordered chicken fried steak, I ordered biscuits and gravy. Biscuits are made from box and gravy tasted like glue. We brought it home and our 19 year old boy even turned up his nose Haha. (Believe me that doesn't happen often). Price was $31.85 for both. We only drank water. Our waiter was nice but severely overworked. read more

Food is not so good. I had the country pork chop with eggs. Hubby had the Omelet, it was okay. Only good about my order was the eggs. Pork chop is so thin and all dried up.

This place has a lot of options and the food is decent. The wait for our food was a awhile but not bad for what we good. Chicken fried steak was large and potatoes with onions were also yummy.

I really enjoy this spot. They have good food at decent prices. The portions are huge so I feel like I get a 2 for 1 special with the leftovers, especially with their Hobo Hash series of dishes , even the half portion lasts me a few days. I love love love their sausage gravy and there is ample seating so I can when I'm waitlisted it's never for more than 10-15 minutes during weekend brunch hours. I can always rely on the consistency of quality here! read more
