Came here both nights we were staying in Packwood. This place pours some hella good drinks, very strong and well worth the price. Staff is very friendly and prompt to take your order. A nice lowkey vibe for when you're passing through. Highly recommend. read more

Blue Spruce Saloon & Grill - Prawns with a green salad. - American Near Me - Packwood, Washington

Extremely friendly staff, very lively atmosphere. It's a bar, and the food ain't bad. But the drinks hiiittttt

My family had ordered a varied option. The cheese sticks and marinara were not the best to be nice. The families sandwiches were ok but I ordered the Prawn dish. My "prawns" were GFS butterflied shrimp. Same crap you get at a typical FF joint. Completely false advertising. I believe the menu was deceptive!! The place was decent but the lights were so low you couldn't tell if it's dirty or just old inside. The wait staff was blunt but was still unable to communicate what size/weight the chicken chunks were. "Like it's a whole basket full"..... like what kinda basket??? I'm typically a good tipper but geez. Had to ask for my bill after 15 mins and I was told to hang on. Bare minimum 15. read more

We were staying in town that night and stopped here for a bite to eat. It's a typical bar/grill setting, with juke box music playing and tv's showing a ball game. Our server was friendly and checked on us several times during our meal. Our meals were cooked just right, both the ribeye steak and the grilled chicken. Both meats were flavorful and moist. My chicken came covered with yummy mushrooms and onions. The meals came with a nice sized dinner salad, a roll, and either potato or mixed veggies. I chose the veggies and they were still just a tad crunchy, not mushy like you sometimes get in a restaurant. If we lived in this area, we would eat here regularly. read more

Yes, the Blue Spruce Saloon is a dingy dark dive. Yes, we have witnessed the staff shout across the room at each other and customers. Yes, there are limited food options in Packwood since it's a small pass-through village without a single stop light but here's the deal, it doesn't matter. The food isn't 5-star but it's great for a dive bar. The appetizer list is extensive with plenty of options, the main menu has something for everyone (hot & cold sandwiches, burgers, wraps, steaks, and salads). Hubs is a sucker for a Reuben and devoured theirs along with the thick potato salad. Oh! And the pie, delicious. We've been here several times. There are rules of what can be played on the juke box, we enjoyed the pull-tabs, had a couple beers, and a couple cocktails. We will definitely stop here again on our way through. read more

Dive bar with below average food. Fortunate for them is that there is nothing else better (other than cruisers pizza ) to pick from in town

Such a great pit stop on US 12 with a delicious menu! It was decorated for Christmas when we stopped which was so festive and pretty! The staff were friendly and attentive! We met some locals and learned some history of the town, so fun! We had a pastrami sandwich and a chicken wrap, both with side salads. Everything was great! read more

So I have been here a handful of times. You would think that a small town bar like this would be friendly and welcoming. The bartenders do not have great attitudes. They act like they are doing you a favor when you finally get their attention. It wasn't even busy. This place is lucky that there's not another place that serves hard liquor in the vicinity. Also, why are you charging me $.50 for a tiny side of blue cheese for $15 chicken wings? Last time I checked every other place on the planet gives you at least one sauce of some kind. If you are a local and thinking about opening your own small town bar this is the place. You would take most of their business, despite the longevity of the establishment. I think this place takes it for granted that they are about the only place to go like this within miles. That's bad business. Good luck. read more

Ate there a few times. My favorite now is their patty melt. Watched the seattle Seahawks football playoffs on one of maybe 6 tvs. People are friendly and lots of parking. They do have bar seating and tables. read more

Blue Spruce Saloon is dive bar where you'll see a lot of the locals at. The service was serviceable, haha. I got the Fish and Chips, the fries were gas and the Cod was good too. It didn't knock my socks off but it was solid. Almost gave it 5 stars just because it was karaoke night which was very fun to experience. Overall if you're in Packwood hit this spot up. read more

So, let me start by saying that this is a very typical PNW tavern. I love these places, some people don't. I've eaten here probably a dozen times over the years and I haven't had a bad meal. Obviously, I keep coming back. The staff will reflect your vibe. If you're cool, they're cool. I can't ask for anything more than that. The beer is cold. read more

I loved everything here that matters! The patty melt was amazing, I subbed sourdough instead of rye. The potato salad is different but awesome! If you like pickles, get it! The fries and wrap were great as well. Server was fast and efficient. Bathrooms were clean. That's all you can ask for! read more

It is a dingy dive bar and grill, but the waitress was nice made good recommendations and was working hard. I had the Ruben and it was good. I had the potato salad also good. read more

I lose count on how many times we've grab food here. It was summertime and Blue Spruce is the only restaurant in the area that closes late. So most nights we grab dinner here and let me tell you, it was always a good service every time. Staffs were friendly and despite the busy office staff were still able to check on us from time to time. Never judge an eatery unless you've tried dining-in. We almost tried every dinner menu they got and some sandwiches for brunch or to-go for the road/trail. Love their baked chicken and hamburger dishes - really tasty. Their sandwiches are pretty good too and filling above all. The dressing on their green salad is so good! Yum... Every night they gets super busy and people come and go to play some gambling game. They got jukebox in here too. Can be noisy at times but if you are just like us that comes here to dine and try to take care of our stomach then be their guest. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps! read more

Came in for dinner. Ordered a burger. Got food poisoning. The staff is really rude. My husband got yelled at for getting out of his seat to see what tap beers they had behind the bar. read more

Honestly, my wife and I thought this was a solid dive bar atmosphere. The cocktail was quite good, and the burger and potatoes skins were pretty standard bar food fair. It's not super quiet, or super clean but after a long hike the food hit the spot and service was quick. read more

This place is a must on any traveler's stop list if they ever find themselves in Washington. The food was great, the service was friendly and prompt. There was a pool table in the back by a few pull tab machines and from what I saw on the other side looked like a small stage for live music. read more

Very much a dive bar situation. Not a bad thing just not everyone's scene. Food was fine but probably wouldn't eat there again if I was in town. read more

Just passing through Packwood, decided to try this neat looking bar. Wasn't a big fan of the water in a gallon bucket, so I brought in my redbull. Instead of asking in a better manner, the waitress decides to say "sorry no outside drinks," and tries to take it out of my hand. I threw it away and would've gladly if she had asked. My grandmother asked for coffee, the waitress slams it on the table. She didn't take anyone else's drink order so we walked out. read more

Great for a late night meal, esp after the brewery closes. They have jut box which is fun to pick your own music. The staff was nice even when the bar was packed! read more

We tried to call in at 10 and they said "we drinking not eating" and hung up. They also did not stop my white friend from entering but when my Asian friend went in with him, they said we won't serve you and told us to leave. Probably racists. Guess that's why you don't go to places called "Packwood". read more

Not a bad saloon to go to. We went here when we went to Packwood last summer. Curiosity was really what brought me here. Since we were in a part of the state we don't go to often I wanted to see if they had beer taps or cider taps from businesses we may have not visited before. And sure enough there was a cider on tap from a nearby town that we haven't tried before. So the curiosity paid off. What was even more of an advantage is that this cidery doesn't have their own tasting room and appears to be production only(I believe the cidery was out of Eatonville) so it made us feel even better stepping in here. Staff is decent. Some are more friendly than others and it's a bit sluggish in speed but I attribute that to being in the era of a pandemic, summer and a very, very busy little town filled with tourists. read more

Not worth the money. After reading the reviews, I wasn't too thrilled to come to Blue Spruce, but we had exhausted our options in Packwood. I'm convinced the only reason this place stays busy is because there's not much food variety in town. The restaurant was pretty filthy, our server was unfriendly, and the food was pricey for what it was. My advice: only come here if you have no other option. read more

If you like your order taken and delivered by a crotchety old snag then this is the place for you! I prefer kindness and smiles from the wait staff so I'll never be back. Half of our party left because she was so rude.... Sadly I had already ordered and paid otherwise I would have done the same. It seemed that the town locals receive kinder welcomes and faster service so good for them. The atmosphere not so bad apart from the rudeness, outside seating area could use a little work. Food was actually good but not worth it. read more

After trying other places in Packwood first, I'm so confused why this place doesn't have higher ratings? Convinced those who've left bad reviews are afraid to have a good time. Food was the best we've had in Packwood yet, and also the cheapest! The fries are SO SO good!! Not to mention, waitresses were attentive, patient, and helpful! Yes it is very much a dive bar vibe, and I get that may intimidate some people. But trust me - open your mind and let yourself enjoy the best gem in Packwood for food! read more

We ate at the Blue Spruce Saloon & Grill this summer. The restaurant was crowded on a busy weekend evening. Service was disappointingly slow, especially because we were starving after a long day. But when the food arrived, I was pleased that the Spruce Burger was tasty and devoured it quickly. read more

Minors allowed until 10pm. It is a saloon, and has a full bar, but the sign is on the door so bring the kids on in. We had burgers, sandwiches, and fried clam strips. Everything tasted great and the beer section was pretty good. Our server was polite and attentive without being pushy. Good music playing at a background noise level, bathrooms were clean, and tables weren't cramped together. Great place for a quick bite or to sit and enjoy the nice folks here. read more

Went to get take out for dinner. First red flag, the sign. Snarky blaming of the governor for the necessary mask mandate. I go in and see most of the staff wearing their masks below their noses. A cook comes out of the kitchen...no mask. The place is pretty crowded, tables didn't seem distanced. I begin to order, the server with her nose exposed, and as I continue I notice her nose is red. She sniffs. Probably allergies or the sniffles, but I've seen enough. I cancel my order and bail. They are not following mandates. It's quite clear from their entry sign they wouldn't do the right thing on their own to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and resent being mandated to do so. read more

Food was very good, very quick service. Nothing around here is cheap but this place was worth the stop! We would go back.

First off, if you give a place 1 star because of your political beliefs, you're a bad reviewer. It's a dive bar with good cold beer, and bar food. There's a big bar, and a bunch of tables scattered about. The music is loud, or non existent depending on if anyone is feeding the jukebox, and when you walk in a bartender yells at you to sit wherever you like. The waitress is sweet, with a winning smile, and the hamburgers are big, greasy and delicious. There's chicken sandwiches if you want, and pastrami sandwiches, and chicken wings. You'll probably walk out full, and out $40. That's all pretty good, and I don't really care what they think of your governor, nor mine. read more

You know how small town food is usually mediocre? Well, that's the case here as well. We got a couple sandwiches with fries and a potato salad. Sandwiches were largely uninspiring - i had a BLT and could make a better one myself microwaving bacon at home. Fries were beer battered, but largely flavorless, although the consistency was good. The potato salad was very "soupy" looking. All in all, food was probably about what I would have expected from a place like this. However, the prices are on the high end ($14 bucks for a sandwich and fries) and that is why i bumped this from average to below average. I wouldnt recommend eating here. If everything else is closed, a frozen pizza from the grocery across the street is better than anything i ate here. read more

Ambiance was what you would expect from a dive bar. Food was mediocre. Service was good. Not many choices in Packwood, but this would not be my first choice, even though I normally love a dive bar. They do have a decent beer and mixed drink selection. read more

My son and I rolled into town for our first visit to Packwood just after 9:00 PM on a Wednesday, and we were grateful to find a local place that served a full menu 'til 11:00 PM and allowed minors to stay until 10:00 PM. This is a traditional, down-to-earth roadhouse with a pool table, TVs, and a clean, no-frills bathroom. Our server was friendly and didn't try to rush us out at all. This was a great landing after our detour from a closed forest road and a great introduction to the town! read more

Not a lot of options to choose from in Packwood on a Monday night. This place was full of locals, though! Pepsi, no Coke, so we had to drink beer instead! Oh, darn the luck. Our waitress recommended the burgers, so we went with a bacon cheeseburger, adding grilled onions. It was really good! And they had tots, so what's not to like?? read more
