I visited Buddy's Chicken & Waffles with my niece. The options were so vast that we decided to get…read moreone for everyone and take them back home. I opted on the cheddar bay biscuit, got my man the cornbread, got the Oreo for my son, Cinnamon Toast Crunch for my daughter, and my niece also got the Oreo. Each one SLAPPED!!!! The chicken was also generously portioned and well seasoned. They did not disappoint. I enjoyed the art they selected in the building. They also had a couple humorous signs at the entry that make the place feel very chill and laid back. I'm looking forward to going back.

We went inside and ordered takeout. I got both a blueberry waffle and a cornbread waffle. The…read morewaffles came with 2 chicken tenders. An extra tender is available for $4. They aren't Roscoe's. They use chicken tenders instead of using chicken with bones. The chicken was okay. It was a little dry. We got the original and spicy tenders. There was nothing special about it. Maybe I needed to put some syrup on the chicken? I don't know. The star of the meal was the waffles. The blueberry waffle was nice and sweet. It was good. The southern cornbread waffle was also good with it's buttery taste. Service was good. The guys working there were nice and respectful. Very professional. They only take credit card. No cash. They waffles made it good. I've had better chicken. It's a good place.

Wildwood Waffles is inside the Finholm's Markey & Grocery store. We have been to Finholm's twice…read morenow and the first time it looked like there was a restaurant here along with some seating but we were just checking out the store since it was our first time here. We were planning to come to Gig Harbor again very soon anyway and planned to come back here and eat. We were under the impression here that the restaurant served sandwiches but that is not correct. It is a waffle place in which you can get sweet and savory waffles. When I am at a waffle place and I have the choice of and I am hungry enough I will get a savory waffle and a sweet waffle. That was just such the case here and so sweet and savory waffles were ordered. I ordered the Blackout which was a sweet waffle with whipped cream cheese, jam and some powdered sugar. For the savory waffle I got the The Hilltop which was a chicken and waffle arrangement with breaded chicken, maple syrup drizzled on it and some powdered sugar. Both waffles were good! They are served kind of in a rolled up manner and not served flatly on plates so it makes them easy to become "to go" orders if that is your desire as well. But if you want to sit and relax the dining setting is nice and laid back.

Always good to support this cozy little cafe. This time, I…read moretried a few new breads. The raisin and walnut bread was especially good when toasted with some butter--just as the owner recommended. It was delicious. I usually enjoy the salt bread on its own, but this time I tried the salt bread with red bean. The buttery, salty bread paired with the sweet red bean created a really nice balance. The owner always kind and welcoming. I arrived a bit late on this visit, so I didn't order coffee. But next time I'll definitely come earlier to try their new ube latte.

My friend got the chestnut latte and she said it was quite good, and quite nutty. The service was amazing the lady at the counter was extremely nice and helped us with what to get.

We did take some time to wait before seated, to get our food and to get our bill, I guess it was understandable since it was a holiday weekend, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I had the train wreck burger, at least I could say it's worth the wait. It was loaded with meat. The pulled pork was really flavorful with tangy BBQ sauce. Highly recommend to meat lovers. I also love my ginger ale, it was definitely the most spicy ginger ale (in a good way) I've had. The only thing I want to complain is the tip option actually starts from 20%, in this economy? Restaurant owners, stop being pity and pay your staff a decent basic salary.

They were out of bbq chicken & bbq ribs & fried chicken at 12:30 on a Friday? Seriously. Fried zucchini was good. Waitress was nice. General pet peeve that the credit card machines auto ask 20% on up for tip on total bill (including the taxes) and min wage is $17. Sorry no. Go back to tip on food only start tip suggestion at 15%. We won't come back.

The milkshakes were really good. We decided to eat outside, which meant ordering from their "to go"window. The lady was cool, and adjusted our burger orders to match what they have on the menu to make things a little less cost. (A plain burger has a name, my kid ordered the more expensive with more toppings burger). We sat outside, it was ok. A restaurant across the street blocks the view of the mountain. There is some dingyness to the area and exterior walls, fence and neighbors. It wasn't uncomfortable for me, but I could see how some folks might be uncomfortable. I would go back to this place without a problem, but I am not going to be making any special trips to eat there.

Update!! 14 years since my last written review of the Kettle. Since then: My mom has passed on and…read moreyes, it is her recipe that they use for the muffins. The original owners have sold out and it's changed hands a couple of times. However, everything I said in my last review is still true except of course prices have gone up, but they're not outrageous. Truly one of the best breakfasts I've had anywhere in the country/world and I've probably eaten at 2800+ restaurants for breakfast since my initial review here 14 years ago. I still get "my usual" Blueberry Muffin and what's now called the Meatlovers Scramble (add mushrooms). The current price is $22.49 (as of 2/1/25). A full order will easily feed 2 very hungry adults.
