My family and I love this place. We have been looking for a diner we could go to with a friendly atmosphere and awesome food. The staff here are always super friendly and inviting, the decor is pretty cool especially with the model train making its rounds. My wife is in love with their diced spuds and I have a love affair with their chicken and waffles with the homemade butter. The chicken fried steak comes out in three platters, but you can opt for a half order. Weather permitting it is also a beautiful drive to go down there and we look forward to coming here every week! read more

Just moved here from the south, Tims made me feel like I was back home. Good home cookin. We went for breakfast. The. Food was delicious. Definitely going to be back for lunch and dinner. Staff was super friendly, and the place was clean. It does take time to get your food, but to me that's good. It's fresh, made to order, and not just heated back up. My son ordered pancakes off the kids meal and it came in the shape of Micky Mouse, we thought that was super cute. read more

We went to Tim's when it first opened, and they were experiencing the usual hick-ups that come with a new place. Since then, they have become a wonderful neighborhood diner. The food is consistently good, and flavorful. I haven't made it through all of their varieties of hotdogs, because they usually have something on the daily special board that sounds delicious. Also, their salad bar is a perk you don't see much anymore. It has a lot of things to pick from, and it's well stocked. The staff is friendly, and they make you feel welcome. The best item on the menu is the chicken friend chicken. The chicken is crispy, and the country gravy is smooth and flavorful. Add a trip to the salad bar, and you'll leave happy. read more

This place is easily one of the best restaurants around. Good food. Good prices. Friendly staff. Please don't change a thing. Keep the quality, and people will come by the droves. read more

Delicious, cheap place in Orting. The breakfast specials are pretty great, and the staff is kind, patient and efficient. My wife, mom, picky 8 year old and I loved the eggs, pancakes, hashed browns and pancakes. Great coffee, too. It's across the street from the Foothills Trail and a great playground for kids. read more

I had to be in and out and they were awesome! They have a salad bar (I didn't try) and their tomato basil soup was delicious! Mashed potatoes were a bit lumpy, which wasn't bad, and the gravy was to die for! Servers were great too! read more

My mom & I went to Tim's on a recommendation from a friend of hers. The atmosphere is homey, the wait staff personable. We were seated right away (Sunday evening, not quite dinner rush). We ordered the chicken dinner special knowing we'd need to take most of it home. Since they cook the chicken as it's ordered, it took a while before it landed on our table. The waitress did stop by a couple of times to let us know what was happening. The meal was - OK. The chicken, though hot and obviously right out of the fryer, was not quite done. It was pink at the bone and at the joints. The mashed potatoes were very good, the gravy was good, the cole slaw was average. The rolls were cold and chewy; not so great. I asked for 2 boxes to take our leftovers. The waitress brought one chicken-to-go box and 2 little boxes for the sides. She'd decided that's what we needed, but it wasn't. I was a bit irritated by that. I won't make a special trip to this place. I might go by if I'm in the area. read more

Salad bars are always nice to see. The waitress we had was more into talking with others that worked there then checking on us. Food was good and it's not overly load. The train is cute that goes around the restaurant. read more

I was originally excited to try out a new place, but the excitement quickly turned to dissapointment. I drove from Federal Way to Puyallup South Hill to try the boxcar breakfast special advertised on FB, a good value for the offering as compared to Denny's $2,4,6,8 menu, it consists of two eggs, roast, hashbrowns, and either sausage or bacon. The orders were taken fairly promptly, but I ordered my eggs over medium, got them over easy, my hashbrowns light and they were extra crispy, and the tempature was poor, barely lukewarm if that. I had to flag down the waitress for a water refill. As it is new, I'm sure it will take awhile to iron out the kinks. I'm not saying don't go, but you will have to form your own opinion, if I return it will be to try a dinner item to see if it improves. The regular prices are a little on the high side. The floor needs swept, and the waitresses are dressed too casually, makes them look sloppy! read more

Excellent!!! Tonight will be our 3rd visit. Had breakfast there this morning and will have dinner there tonight. Great food, fast, friendly service, and decent prices. Will be tiring out the bread pudding for desert. read more

Food is fantastic. We had the chicken and waffles. Highly recommend!

Service is amazing. We had the greatest waitress and the host was personable and accommodating! Not a lot of choices for GF but they were happy to check ingredients for me and make any adjustments they could to help me out. Food was great (remeber it's diner food not fancy restaurant entrees!!). Easy comfortable atmosphere. We will be back! read more

Great food, great seating, great Wi-Fi. What more could you want in a restaurant? This is my official favorite restaurant in town and I cannot recommend it enough. read more

This is definitely my favorite family restaurant in Orting. Great menu with vast breakfast, lunch, and dinner variety. Serious. So many menu items! That's my biggest problem with this place... deciding what to order. And everything I've had in the 5+ times that I've been there is delicious and very reasonably priced. Great for young kids because their is a little train that cruises elevated around the perimeter and it entertains them while waiting for the food. It's a pretty cozy ma and pa feeling restaurant with polite and courteous waiting staff and hosts. Good people in this part of the state. Really down home feel that is welcoming to all. read more

Super delicious food. Sweet tea was actually sweet!!! Fries were seasoned to perfection! Service was quick and friendly. Just passing through town but would drive out of my way to come back here again. read more

Great service and atmosphere! The home time feel with an ideal price!!! Every time I am in the area, I stop by to have their BLT! They just have that home feel that is hard not to come back! read more

Worst service on Mother's Day. 12:30 reservations were made but waited 40 minutes to be seated after an employee gave our table away. Then waited until 2:15 for our food to arrive. We were told by our waitress everything was "made to order". Side note jack in the box or I hop makes their food to order too. No clear hostess, or front manager to speak with about our experience. Left a comment on their FB page but it was removed. Don't waste your time or money. read more

1st time in tims today for lunch. We really liked the food and the salad bar. We live in town and had never been because I like to have a good beer with lunch and originally they didn't have beer so we just never gave it a try. Really good service and like I said we love salad bars, we normally go to aversanos in sumner for theirs but now we don't have to. We will definitely make this a spot we come back to. read more

Fantastic gem. Had the chicken and salad bar. The chicken is bar far the best around. Service is awesome. Great environment for kids too. Will be back! read more

Tim's Kitchen is a wonderful place to go. We come here once a week & if we're lucky we get our favorite server Mr. Alex. He strives to go above & beyond normal expectations. Although Tim's staff are all very welcoming, provide high quality service & amazing food. We are thankful for this little place, they also have great music. read more

Average restaurant. The positives: super clean, quick, salad bar option, and chicken fried chicken. The negatives: rolls, eggs and Ranch at salad bar, mashed potatoes, and the chicken sandwich chicken was way too thin it was non existent. Overall our experience was ok but I wouldn't go back. If they're going to cook "home cooked" food like this, they need to amp up their mashed potatoes and rolls. read more

I can't rate them for dinner or lunch, but this place serves phenomenal breakfast! Their pancakes are so good that we come back to visit every weekend, just to enjoy the breakfast food. It is a local, family-run restaurant, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. They are also very kid friendly. My son loves to watch the toy train that runs through the restaurant, it makes waiting for our food with a hungry 2-year old much more bearable (he calls this "the train place"). I highly recommend you try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed! read more

Tim's is a very good place to eat in Orting - the wait staff is always very friendly and the food is good. Orting doesn't have very many choices but Tim's can usually be counted on for a good dining experience - and my kid loves to watch the train go around the place. Just don't expect anything fancy going - it is a nice family atmosphere. read more

Been to Tim's a few times now and it nothing special, but is by no means bad. I can see how some may give 4 stars being the service was decent and the staff was very friendly. I usually pay more attention to the food which is fine, just not something I would go out of my way for. Looking for a decent breakfast lunch place this ok. read more

Right off the Foothills Trail in Orting, Tim's Kitchen is a terrific lunch stop. The chile, sandwiches and Cole slaw were all fresh and delicious. Service is friendly and helpful. Food is all fresh made--next time we will try more adventurous options since the menu has a lot to offer for lunch. They definitely have the basics down. Thank you, Tim & team. read more

OK. Nothing all that special with the food. A bit on the greasy side when it comes to the omlets and hash browns. The so called Belgian Waffel aren' really Belgian Waffel, but are regular shallow, small square pockets made in a round waffel maker out of some kind of heavy dark wheat dough. Not some thing to order really. Look up Wikapedia definition of Belgian waffel. The Original Pancake House is the place for authentic Belgian Waffel, and top of the line breakfasts. read more

Went for late breakfast. Service was good. Servers were friendly. Food was great.

Ok, so.....I've lived in this town for 30 years or so. Been thru so many new restaurant owners in this place. Went for lunch on a Thursday. It was busy with a church group. They were leaving as my party arrived. We waited too long imho for someone to seat us. No biggy. We waited too long imho for someone to come up and ask if we had given our drink order. No biggy. I asked for a Corona with Lime. They were out of lime. Ok, lemon would be fine. They were out of lemon. I don't like Corona without lemon or lime, just me, so I declined ordering a beer. Got water and cranberry juice. If I wanted a strawberry lemonade it would of been $3.89. Ok, kinda no biggy. Really wanted that Corona with lime/lemon but, no problem. Finally ordered what sounded good in this HUGE menu. 50 million items to choose. We agreed on Crunchy Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine. He tells us that with this order it included a salad bar so off we went to get salad while we waited for our order. Awhile later he comes back and says....."I"m sorry but we are out of Fettuccine." Ok, 3 items I have asked for, you guys don't have. No biggy I guess. Irritated slightly but hiding it well. I mean, worse things happen to people in life and i am blessed to be able to go to a Restaurant but reviews hopefully will help businesses to step up. So he tells us he can just put the chicken on a bun. We say ok. He leaves, we are still getting a salad. I pull a long blonde hair from the salad dressing. ....I go to our table and am eating the salad. He brings our chicken Parmesan on a small plate where the bun nearly wouldn't fit flat so now the sauce is all up on the side of the dish getting all on my hands. Then he comes over and says there usually is a charge for the salad if it's not with a meal deal but because we didn't have Fettuccine I didn't charge you. I stare at him with salad in my mouth.......The sandwich was gross. I chewed on several things that I wasn't sure what it was. Parts were chewy, stringy, and zero crunch on this CRUNCHY chicken Parmesan sandwich. It was dry and zero flavor. Here's the thing Mr. owner, you probably don't even care. Employees appeared to be arguing, perhaps I am wrong but loudly talking to one another. Then some customer was talking loudly with someone coming out of the Kitchen and there was some question about his bill. This was NOT a pleasant experience and like every other restaurant that has come and gone in that building, I tried to tell them too but they didn't listen and they closed their doors. You may think you're doing well and maybe you are I hope but if not, listen to a customer. By not having something as simple as lemon or lime, you lost 2 or 3 or 4 beer sales. By not having the Fettuccine and then even mentioning the gratuitous no charge on the salad, the salad where I pulled the hair out of and also where the tomatoes looked and tasted a week old you made us not want to eat and then the taste and presentation of the entree finished us off and made us realize we won't be back. You see how that works? The seasoned steak fries or whatever the heck they were, were greasy, soft piles of crap. When we got the bill for $54.00 for 3 people eating a lunch menu, drinking water, and a cranberry juice, a coke and how bad it tasted I knew I would not return. I understand me not coming back will not hurt you in anyway but I wonder how many others are giving you low scores or just never coming back? Clean up the darn place, put some character in it. It is BORING. Teach the damn cook how to cook and for god-sake.......who does the ordering? You could be so much more but you're choosing mediocrity. Oh btw, the bar is atrocious. Piss smell and something......else. Good luck. read more

We love having family breakfasts at tims kitchen the staff is always amazing and so friendly. I'm so happy to have a good family restaurant in our home town read more

Great food, even better service. Our waiter Alex is awesome, keeps our coffee cups full, polite, and appreciative for our business. We have had breakfast here twice and can't wait to try the dinners. read more

What a difference a year makes, huh? Wow, did things take a serious turn for the worse here. My wife and I came back tonight for dinner and the food was revolting and prices ridiculously high - but the service was good. I had a French dip and "seasoned" steak fries, where the only seasoning on the fries was grease and the sandwich had the nastiest, fattiest, cheapest looking lunch meat, griddled nearly to death on a flat top. My wife attempted to have the chicken strip basket with a salad as the side, but wound up being charged for a one-trip salad bar with the $4 added charge for chicken strips. The salad bar was fresh, but the bacon under cooked and cold, and the chicken strips were so greasy they couldn't be finished. We also (stupidly, perhaps) ordered the "Loaded" Baked potato skins appetizer, which consisted of four greasy, obviously microwaved potato pieces with an occasional green onion piece, some hastily melted cheddar, and more of that wonderfully undercooked bacon. That's a bit far from "Loaded" for my tastes, especially when you're paying $8 or more. All told, we spent $40 (pre-tip) on food so far below standards I'm amazed that a small town like Orting can keep this place afloat. read more

A wonderful, family-oriented restaurant! There is a train that circles the eating area and our children absolutely love to watch that while waiting for the food and also during the meal. The food is amazing and the menu has a great variety to please many pallets. My kids' favorite is the peanut butter marshmallow burrito! They also serve a number of chicken sandwiches, Polish sausages, and incredibly delicious fried chicken. The salad bar is my personal favorite and rivals Ruby Tuesday's. The food is always fresh and there's a great variety on the salad bar. We have visited Tim's Kitchen 3 times already and will definitely be a frequent customer! read more

The staff is wonderful and friendly! It's a nice clean restaurant with an almost perfect atmosphere. Perfection is lost because of the music. They play one fun oldies (50s-60s) song followed by horrible, horrible instrumental elevator/funeral music. If I come back it'll probably be for a to go order. Which ids awful because the wait staff is great. Just the idea of sitting in an elevator to eat kills me. It's said the music is the mom's choice. In this case mom it's not always right. She has great food but worse musical taste than my 90yr old grandpa. Time to put the music in someone's hands that is more capable. read more

Great Chicken-Fried Steaks .. definitely looking forward to going back and trying the Chicken-Fried Chicken and Fried Chicken. Mac and Cheese was good as well. The service was good, kind and quick. The only griefs I have is that its a little pricey. Extra $1.50 for a baked potato... a buck for a salad. The salad wasn't fresh enough either. But overall, one of the best southern food I have had in a while. read more

We have been here a few times with my parents. My husband loves the CPR burger. He adds bacon. I got a sandwich that was a cross between a french dip and a pulled pork. It was good, but on the salty side. The deep fried pickles are always a win win. Everything is always so yummy. read more

Went to Tim's Kitchen for the first time this morning for Mother's day breakfast. We had the country fried steak which could have served three of us it was so large, and a breakfast stacker and smother. It was all really good, and the portions were huge. Definately recommend this restaurant. read more

Outstanding! Loved every minute. Even had an entertaining 3 year old at the table next to us. Would highly recommend;

This place is a geriatric wet dream. Salad bar, hot dogs, horned chili, flour tortillas, model trains, hints of racism in the menu... need I go on. They charge ten bucks for ball park frank hot dog creations that are composed with more store bought recognizable items in oldtimesy fashion. Everything you order comes with ranch. The PB marshmallow burrito earned it one star. A definite never come back situation. The service was good. She made the salad bar rules very understood. Apparently there are bands of old folks using their guile and scurvy to make off with all the baby corns. read more

Had breakfast here on a Saturday morning, there was plenty of space and the service was fast and friendly. I enjoyed the eggs Benedict very much. Would recommend this establishment! read more

My husband and I have been to Tim's several times and the food has been pretty good, the service not so much. My husband placed a to go order and when he got home the order was incorrect, he drove all the way back to get the order corrected. He went in again a few nights later and was given a free meal based on the previous order being wrong. When he went back a couple of nights ago the owner actually confronted him in front of other customers and told him that the order was not wrong and he should not have been given any free food. The owner also yelled at the waitress that gave my husband the free meal. We were both really disappointed because there are not that many places to eat in Orting and you would think the owner would be a little more customer service oriented. I can tell you after that treatment we will not be going back. read more
