It's such a fun, upbeat atmosphere, and the employees are always great to us. They recognize us when we come in, remember us, and always make us feel welcome. We are big pizza, beer, and wings people. Years ago, we actually owned our own pizza, beer, and wing restaurant, so when we moved to Yelm, finding a place where we could get that kind of food and atmosphere was important to us. Farrelli's has definitely become one of our go-to spots. The pizza is good, they have plenty of options if you're not in the mood for pizza, and we especially love the Korean wings. They also have a really good selection of beer, and it's always cold and good. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the trivia team rule. If you have more than six people on a team, you either lose points or have to split your team. We had been trying to get a big group of friends together to go and have a fun night, but it became such a hassle that we eventually stopped inviting people and just started going with a couple of people so we didn't have to lose points or split up. I completely understand having rules around team sizes, but it would be nice if there were a way to make it easier for larger groups to participate together. That said, we really enjoy Farrelli's and continue to go regularly. We've only gone a couple of times just for dinner, but we've been to trivia night many times. They also do all kinds of other events and activities, which makes it a really fun place to have in Yelm. Definitely recommend Farrelli's if you're looking for good pizza, wings, cold beer, and a fun atmosphere!

Our Go-To Burger Spot in Yelm!…read more The Grill at 507/507 Taproom & Filling Station is hands down one of our favorite places to eat in Yelm! In our opinion, they have the best smash burgers around, and they are consistently delicious every single time we go. Sean always gets the Bleu Cheese Smash with tots, while I rotate between the Deluxe Smash with fries and the Chicken Caesar Wrap. I honestly love both, so I can never decide which one I want--which is why I just rotate! We also really love the taproom side and all of the beer options they have. One of our favorites is the Juice Tornado #28, which is a hazy IPA, and I especially love trying their different sours. They're one of the few places we go that consistently has sour beers, so that's a big bonus for me! We come here at least once a month, and we've also had the chance to attend the Zane Lamprey show here two years in a row, which was always a total blast. Last night, we brought our daughter and had some friends meet us there, and we had such an enjoyable evening. The food was great, the service was great, and the atmosphere is always great. Whether we're stopping in for burgers and a beer or coming for an event, 507 is always a good time. Definitely one of our favorite spots in Yelm!

It's always a challenge to find a place that hits all for aces of NW outdoor dining. That is:…read more1 - Dog-friendly pub 2 - Good food 3 - Good selection of local beer AND cider 4 - Good ambiance (with both indoor and outdoor dining). The 507 Taproom nails all four! The back patio area is open to dogs. Half of the paved area is under cover and the rest of the tables sport sun umbrellas. #1 covered. The pubs menu is generous, but two categories stand out. Their smash burgers are juicy, oversized, and tender -- with beautifully crisp edges. The spicy bacon smash is perhaps the best non-homecooked burger I've ever had. And their signature tater tots are near perfect. Hot, crispy, flavorful without any greasiness. Perfect #2 nailed The taproom of course has a slew of brews on tap. Fruity framboise-styles to bitter IPAs, along with a broad selection of NW ciders. #3 nailed The indoor dining area and bar is open and friendly while outside is the aforementioned covered spaces.

We've lived in Yelm, Washington for two years now, and we've given this place way more chances than…read moreit deserved. We've been here at least 5-6 times. The very first time, the owner was our server and the service was actually pretty good. The food was mediocre, but we figured we'd come back and give it another shot. Unfortunately, that first experience has been the exception, not the rule. We are huge wing fans and so naturally we ordered the wings. They were freezer burnt and they were the full wing the flat and the drum hooked together. We were not a fan of them. We've stopped in just for a couple of beers while waiting for our dog to get groomed next door, and even those visits have been uncomfortable. We've dealt with bartenders who were rude and completely unfriendly, and servers who seem to forget you're even there. We came here for Valentine's Day two years ago with a reservation, expecting a nice, romantic dinner. Instead, it was an absolute disaster. The staff looked completely overwhelmed, nobody seemed to know what was going on, our expense steaks were over cooked badly, we were ignored for long stretches, never offered refills, and the entire dinner was a huge disappointment. But we kept trying. Most recently, we brought two friends here because we really wanted to give it one more chance. We actually warned them not to have high expectations. Unfortunately, the service was just as bad. We were ignored, never got beer refills, and the food was terrible. Our friends left saying they never wanted to come back. Today, while waiting for our dog to be groomed, we stopped in for a couple of beers and ordered the JoJos from the happy hour menu. Six or so potato wedges that were overcooked and just not very good, with mediocre barbecue sauce and ranch. There is a new server here whom we've never had before, and honestly, she's been better than anyone we've dealt with here in the past. She's still pretty slow, but she is easily the best service we've had since that very first visit when the owner served us. And ironically, that same owner has completely ignored us every time we've been back and hasn't said a word to us since our first visit. At this point, we've tried enough times to know this isn't a one-off bad night. The service is consistently awful, the food is mediocre at best, and the prices don't match what you're getting. We genuinely try to support local businesses, which is why we kept coming back and giving this place another chance. But after six or so visits and multiple disappointing experiences, we're done. I absolutely cannot recommend this place. If you're looking for overpriced, mediocre food and consistently terrible service, this is your place! Otherwise, there are plenty of other local places that deserve your money.

Now, the pizza... absolutely phenomenal. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip. If you're traveling through Washington or you're lucky enough to live here, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Great food, excellent service, and a place I'd happily come back to.

My first job in high school was at Gilchrist Buick where the sales guys would walk over to Hans' for lunch (and likely a few drinks). Had never been myself. It's an old school tavern, and very clean. That chicken is epic. I know it's "broasted" and the broaster sets it apart because most taverns can't spare the square footage they take up. The end result is crispy, seasoned, moist, flavorful chicken with a crust not found elsewhere. We got the hand cut fries because most jojos are underwhelming. The crust on the fries make me KNOW the joes are also solid. Half chicken and fries or jojos for $18 is a deal in 2026. We were greeted by regulars and when one found out it was our first time there, he bought us both a round. True neighborliness! Both Jason and the other staff member were attentive and welcoming. We were assured this chicken left over and reheated holds up, and I don't doubt it because of that beautiful crust. I've been to other places folks crow about: the Spar, Anglea's, Terrys Office Tavern, Buddys. This chicken is superior, service was great, and it was welcoming. We will definitely return and likely order out, too.

I ordered the original chicken to go, and it lost its crispiness by the time I got home. The next time I was there with my wife, we ate at the restaurant. A much better decision. The crispy of the chicken was just right, and the service was excellent. There is just the right amount of seating if you choose to enjoy your meal there. Also a little bit of soft music in the background to vibe to. Each time we've gone there, the menu seems to keep expanding. Definitely a place my wife and I will visit again.

Probably my favorite was the Jap-Chae or the Honey Gochujang wings. I love me a seafood pancake but this one was just bland. It was good sized and full of seafood, but it screamed for salt and seasoning. The spicy wings tasted like a spicy sauce you would get in a teriyaki joint and it was NOT spicy at all. Almost kind of ketchupy. I was excited to try their Tteok-Bokki and at the recommendation of the person taking our order, got the Rosé. This has to be the strangest dishes and flavors I have had in a very long time. I have had this dish elsewhere and really enjoyed it, however this one was just strange. Perhaps it's just me, but no thanks. The fried and steamed dumplings are as you would expect and the beef bulgogi was fine. Staff were nice and friendly, but there are lots better KFC places around here.
