We come mainly for brunch on Saturdays at 11:00 am (occasionally Friday or Sunday) and sit in a booth. Here about every 6 to 8 weeks and shocked I haven't written a review yet! Server / main front of house person always remembers us and is kind and super friendly, even when she's busy. It's a diner with reasonable prices - I've had the breakfast sandwich, corned beef hash, mix of Ala carte side options, main breakfast with meat, omelette or scramble... my dad usually gets the 55+ 2 egg Denver omelette and my brother will change it up, too. It's also kid friendly, if you want to bring a kiddo. Food is always good, I try to remember not to eat a first breakfast at home in the morning when we come out so I'm hungry. Nice to have a regular spot to go to when we visit where we know the food will be good and the people are nice.

Came here looking for a burger and milkshake after hiking in a nearby town with my daughter. Had…read morehigher hopes for this mountain town diner. The place is pretty run down which isn't an issue for me if service and food are decent. There was one waitress for the entire joint. She was nice but overworked and therefore took her a long time just to stop by our table. Ok, that's fine. The real problem was that there was only one cook too. By the time I realized the mistake I had made by staying here, it was too late. It took 55 minutes from when we sat down to when we were served lunch. There were maybe 4-5 average size parties of people there in booths of about 2-5 people each. The dessert menu was entirely cake and pie from the dessert counter but the rotating dessert refrigerator had literally one pie in it and a piece of another pie that looked like it had been in there awhile. The pie refrigerator itself looked unsanitary. The bathrooms are in desperate need of basic maintenance/renovation--I pee in a lot of pit toilets and honeybuckets so a gross bathroom doesn't usually phase me, but being a foodservice business, the condition of the bathroom was alarming. The food was as expected--the chicken ranch bacon wrap was very large but I didn't taste much chicken, mostly just mayo, lettuce and bacon bits. The burger looked decent and the fries were standard frozen deep fried which were fine. I really do like to support mountain diners when I come off long hikes, but this one didn't hit the mark this time. Even just one more extra hand would have made a world of a difference.

If you know us, you know we live for a good dive! It was a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty scarce. There was a large group when we first got there but they headed out and it was just us a few others. Classic dive on the inside and a nice bartender as well. This place is a true TAVERN. No hard alcohol, just beer, cider, wine, seltzers. Prices were incredibly affordable - four drinks after tip was only $25! The beer garden area is chaotic and I mean this in the best way. Exactly the type of beer garden I wanna see at a dive. There was a ton of space out there too! The ONLY gripe we had was that the smell of the fryer was extremely overwhelming. Normally it doesn't bother me much but it was SO strong here so we opted to sit outside because just being in there to order gave me a borderline headache from the smell. Truly was a great find! We're never in the area so it's unlikely we'll return, but we definitely would if we found ourselves here again.

Things really picked up after we ordered. Good for them. After a long wait which is understandable when things are busy we see multiple tables served before we received our carryout. I challenge the waiter on what was going on, points fingers at others. Maybe this is fair, however nobody takes responsibility. The food and drinks were good just wish the situation was addressed vs blaming other team members and an apology would have gone a long ways.

Food took a long time to get and three out of the four pizzas we ordered was supposed to be on cauliflower crust but I think only one was. The pizzas did taste good even though it wasn't accurate. One of our burgers never showed up either which was a bummer. Server did tell us they were still working on it, but it never came out. When we asked if we could just take it to go, they said they didn't even start on it yet. Pretty disappointing. The stars are for the bowling alley only.

Lots of bark, lots of bone, and what little meat was on them seemed desiccated and over salted. I know that ribs are not the cheapest food out there; but $23.99 for a half rack of inedible ribs is a bit much. (in fairness, the service was good, and the server took off 30% from my bill.)

The atmosphere was comfortable, with a pleasant crowd and a lot of laughing. We were greeted almost as soon as we walked in, which was great considering they were kinda busy already. Drinks came fast and so did the food. I had the bacon cheeseburger with curly fries. My husband got cheese curds, which I'd never had before, and the special of the day, which was a bbq bacon burger with regular fries. My food was amazing. It's been a long time since I've had a burger of this quality. The cheese curds came out fast and hot and were absolutely delicious. I had a bite of my husband's burger and it was good enough for me to consider maybe getting it next time. All of this food only cost $45, which is saying something these days. We will definitely be back.

After a day exploring the beauty of Mount Rainier, we stumbled upon Spiffy's in Morton--and it was…read morejust the kind of stop we didn't know we needed. With its weathered sign and old-school charm, Spiffy's has the kind of roadside appeal that makes you hit the brakes. We tried a bit of everything: the Spiffy Burger and fries ( the burger was large and came cut in half with care!), a hot dog, a corn dog, and chicken tenders. Everything was perfectly cooked and generously portioned. ( the crinkle fries were crunchy on the outside and moist and hot inside - I do wish the portion size of fries was larger in the basket. The Spiffy Burger lives up to its reputation-- flavorful, and satisfying. The chicken tenders portion was large were a hit with the kids. Both boys tried the Cherry Coke shake of the month and expressed how good It was. Though it has a rustic look, don't let appearances fool you. The food is good, the prices are more than fair, and the staff is as friendly and welcoming as you could hope for. There's a reason this place draws in locals, travelers, and nearby workers alike. If you're anywhere near Morton, make time for a stop at Spiffy's. Whether you're craving a burger, a shake, or just a quick, satisfying bite--this spot delivers. The reasons for the 4 rating are : fry portion size in the basket and the burger although exactly what I expected but bigger, was out of the freezer and not homemade. Which is fine for a diner but makes this a 4.
