    Very nice and clean with good vibe. Service was friendly and attentive. Quite an eclectic menu…read moreand there were several items I wanted to try. Ended up with version of a Monte Christo. Nice! Would order it again. Will be back.

    Not sure how this place is sitting at 4.7 stars because, in my opinion, this is a 5-star…read moreestablishment in every sense of the word. And I'm a tough critic. As a flight attendant and an unapologetic foodie, I've eaten my way through cities all over the world. You learn pretty quickly when a restaurant is simply serving food versus when it's serving something made with genuine care. This place falls firmly into the second category. The customer service? Just the sweet Rainier cherry on top of an already incredible experience (and yes... go look at their bakery case while you're there). Jocelyn was phenomenal. I asked how this little slice of heaven came to be, and she happily shared the story behind it. One owner spent years as an executive chef at a casino, while the other built a career as a professional baker in Aberdeen. Boy, does that expertise show. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles. A little context: I mostly eat pescatarian these days, so when I do splurge on chicken, my expectations are sky high. I've built it up in my head as one of the foods I miss most (right alongside a good ribeye), and it's almost always disappointing. Not this time. This chicken is absolutely ridiculous. They debone a chicken thigh and fry it into the crispiest, juiciest piece of fried chicken I've had in a long time. It's made with a gluten-free batter, which means more people get to enjoy it. And before anyone assumes "gluten-free" means sacrificing flavor... think again. Plenty of great chefs will tell you the best fried coatings come from starches like potato or cornstarch anyway. What really made this meal special, though, was that my partner is vegan. If you've ever dined out with someone who's vegan while you aren't, you know how rare it is for both people to walk away feeling like they had an equally great meal. It almost never happens. Here, it did. She ordered the vegan Indian tacos with corn tortillas, and they looked incredible. She was excited to try the fry bread, and instead of simply serving it, the staff thoughtfully explained it wasn't vegan and helped her choose an alternative. That's the kind of attention to detail you don't forget. Our service was perfectly paced. If you're looking for food in five minutes, there are plenty of places where "cooking" means microwaving something that arrived frozen. This isn't one of those places. Everything tastes intentional, and that takes time. Our food still arrived in under 20 minutes, maybe even less. Slow down, talk to the people you're with, and enjoy the experience. Great food isn't supposed to feel rushed. We stumbled across this gem on our drive home from Ocean Shores, and I'm so glad we did. I only wish it were closer to home because we'd become regulars in a heartbeat. I can't recommend this place enough.

We had the fish and chips, the Reuben, the steak and fries, and the fried pickles -- all of which we'd happily order again. Our only complaint was that there were too many good things on the menu to choose from! The overall vibe was old sawmill meets local nostalgic pride. Great food, great service, and a really fun spot.

I try to give advance notice so anyone that reads my reviews for business closures and is motivated to do a farewell can but this closure kind of crept up on me and was short notice. We were in the area on a day trip and managed to swing by here on the final day. It was fairly busy and they were virtually out of beer. We did get the last one they had on tap. Swag was small in selection as to be expected with a closure and customers are grabbing up what they can. I saw some red hoodies with the brewery logo and didn't really want one but saw a gray one thanks to Steve pointing it out. Food orders were steady and pizza was rolling out rapidly for customers to chow down on one last time. I imagine the closure if this brewery is more of the current phenomenon of brewery closures due to shifting customer spending and cost for running a business. Sad to see but glad we managed one more stop before they closed for good.
