Food is always good. Drinks are well made. Service is fast. Overall an excellent "dive bar" . Love it best in warmer weather.

Food was delicious! Service was a little slow but there was a Seattle Seahawks game on the TV so it was loud and fun. It's usually not that loud but the Seahawks won! read more

On Sunday ordered the spicy, deep fried cauliflower and it was really good! However the coors light draft tasted icky, like strawberry or something. A friend of mine ordered a burger and fries but his order never came. When he asked about it, the server person/ bartender told him they forgot to put in his order. This is now twice that this has happened. First to my husband and now in a separate visit it happened to my friend. Get it together Buzz's Bar & Grill read more

Buzz's has a wide selection of food. It's a very popular local's hangout, and parking on weekends and evenings is often a bit tricky. Outdoor patio seating is a great option in the Slring, Summer, and Fall when the weather is good. read more

A group of us (10) stopped into Buzz's on our way to Ocean Shores. Automatic gratuity was not added to tabs due to our size. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Buzz's is a 21+ establishment. A 20% service fee is added to all tabs left open overnight. Happy Hour is offered Monday-Friday from 2pm-5pm on food and drink. Buzz's offers a full bar. Indoors, one will find pool tables, Magic Coin game, shuffle board, pull tabs and a couple TVs. A large outdoor seating area is available to enjoy on warm days. While looking over the eclectic menu, I slurped on a Bodhi and my wife slurped on a Manny's for $6.50 each. My wife and I shared the Southwest Chicken Club Sandwich for $17.99: grilled chicken, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato chipotle mayo on a toasted hoagie bun. We chose tots as our side. Our sandwich was served with a generous amount of fresh produce and protein. It was delicious. Service and staff were efficient, friendly and fun. Thank you, Buzz's for the terrific start to our trip. read more

I love this bar. Good food, beer, cider, drinks. Friendly service. Daily specials. Easy on/off Highway 101. What more can you ask for?

Great food, great friendly service always. A fun place to meet up with friends. Try the kimchi ramen, it is my favorite.

Mike is an amazing bartender and always provides outstanding service!! The food is great and the bar is clean and fun

Fab service. Exceptional service at the bar. Ono grindz. Beautiful, big heaping portion of bulgogi stir fry with plenty of green onion and bok choy! Husband ate the Kalbi, side rice, side kimchi. I love that they carry athletic brewing and yummy ginger beer, and the al fresco ambiance is superb. Will definitely be back to take a night off of cooking as a restaurant industry couple. Broke da mouth. Both bartenders ameliorated our experience! read more

Hands down the best BLT I ever had and some of the best fries. I'm super picky about brands/types of ranch, but theirs tasted homemade and was really good. Ive always heard great things about the food here and I was not disappointed. read more

Amazing atmosphere, amazing service, amazing food. Our entrees: French Dip & Prawn basket. French dip was amazing, love their au ju sauce. My prawns were delicious, I really loved the coleslaw, garlic bread, and cocktail sauce that was a little "spicy", 10/10. We asked for the French dip to be made without butter and cheese due to an allergy and they were accommodating. This is a great place for food and drinks, fair pricing, amazing views, great music, and lots to do inside as well like pull tabs, pool, claw machine, etc. read more

First time at Buzz's and I am going to be a regular. My chorizo scramble was off the charts. Spicy enough and wonderful flavor. They offered warm corn or flour tortillas. The portion size was so big, I'll eat the rest later. Alexis and Rachel were super nice and attentive throughout my visit. I am impressed and will bring back friends. Way to go Buzz's! Oh, yeah, I was also able to watch football on one of their many screens. Love this place! read more

Our go to spot, great dive style bar, amazing food options, different specials every day and week. Everything is worth trying!

The food is excellent and so are the servers. Big variety of choices and daily specials.

An update is much needed. We eat and drink here all the time now and it's quite the drive for us, but it's worth it. The service is better than anywhere else that we frequent. The food is great nowadays. The prices are relatively affordable compared to other places where the service at those places is inferior to say the least. Great place to go watch the game with a group of friends and there's outdoor seating for the summer and covered area too out there. The bar is long and the stools are just the right height. Bigger tables for groups and just right on the lighting not to dark or bright. Also the food comes out very quickly and always hot! read more

Once again wonderful, friendly, fast service. Delicious onion rings and burgers. Packed but not uncomfortable. A definite favorite!!! read more

Probably our favorite bar in the area. An extensive menu of good food, plus specials that are posted on social media daily. My favorites are the spinach prawn salad, the crab stuffed avocado, and prime rib. But I've never had anything bad. Oak, the owner, is the best and always comes out to say hi when she is there. Great outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Fun events like the pig roast and Super Bowl. Good service. And the drinks are great too. read more

The food, the people, and the fried chicken plate Ingrabbed to go! It was decent fried chicken! We enjoyed it the next day! It was nice to sit out back as the water slowly trickled back in, and just an easy going feeling. We grabbed our drinks and ordered at the bar. Then they brought our food out to us! We will stop again going that way again! read more

Visited this place late on a Monday night looking for a place to get a few drinks. We were visiting from Los Angeles so we didn't know what to expect. This place hit the spot in many ways. The ambiance is very chill and laid back, locals just hanging out having a good time. The staff was very welcoming and took our order. Drinks were strong but good, ordered some queso dip and that was good too. Prices were very reasonable, wish I could find a spot like this back in LA. read more

Dive Bar royalty . It's a great place. No minors allowed. We went on Bar Trivia night and it was a great time. Cold beer, hot food, good music, and great people. Service is from the bar, sit where u want and order at the bar. read more

I rarely give 5-stars to a dive, but Buzz's deserves it. If you are anywhere near Olympia (or heading to the WA coast on 101), I implore you to make a stop. Food - mostly had basic fare, but it's all done well. And the food is very reasonably priced. Chef's kiss to the chef(s). Brunch is my jam at Buzz's. Staff - the bartenders don't mess around, and they are pros. The local crowd shows up before doors open on weekends. The bartenders handle the rush with speed and grace. Ambience - it's a dive, isn't it? But 5-star rating intact for the ample indoor seating choices, and funky outdoor options. Nothing like Buzz's on a sunny day. Crowd - motley assortment of Mud Bay/Olympia. Which is to say kind, affable, not terribly diverse. It's aight I love em. They are real people who work real jobs and lead real lives. read more

I have enjoyed the excellent food and service I have received everytime I have been there. Great service from staff who are very friendly and professional. Beautiful views of the water from the outdoor deck. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Don't let the appearance of this place put you off. It's definitely got a "dive bar" atmosphere but the menu has a large variety of choices and the food is really good. Daily food and drink specials, nightly events like Bingo, Trivia, or open mic etc. Plenty of tv's so a good place to catch sports, and staff there knows their stuff!! Hubby and I eat here quite often! read more

O. M. G. If you are in the area try the 1) Korean boneless chicken wings. SO AMAZING! Also anything with the 2) bulgulgi (sp?). 3) Fresh spring rolls with shrimp. I'm slowly working my way through the menu but usually pick one of the specials written in the board at the bar. If this place were closer I'd never eat at home! Mornings they've got fantastic service. Evenings they're super busy so prepare to wait but do it with a smile because you'll be in good company. The staff are attentive even though they're slammed. Everyone who eats here gets it. Locals are friendly. Live music on weekends and I've never been disappointed with the food!! Room for improvement? Parking and the restrooms. Don't even care because I love this place so much. read more

This place is for sure a must go too dive bar if your headed to or from Olympia. They have the typical bar food but also some amazing Korean dishes . The spot is owned by a Korean woman. They have pool tables and a shuffle board. They also have outdoor seating looking the mudd bay but when the water is up it's a great spot ! I ordered the bulgogi beef and it was delicious the rice was cooked to perfection and it was served with some cabbage and carrots and some fried gyoza. I even had leftovers to take home. The total was around $20 for a meal and a drink. The atmosphere is dark and bar like but cozy and the staff is super friendly and family owned. Plenty of seating and a great spot for a girls day Happy Hour! Sorry I read more

Best burger I had in a long time. Best burger in the area. The staff was friendly and food came out pretty fast, even though there was a lot of people there. Outside dining was nice. Can't wait to go back. read more

We were staying in Hoodsport for a few days and found this restaurant on Yelp. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere so much we came back the next night! Try the onion rings. Trust me, they won't disappoint!!! Best I've had. read more

I encouraged my friend to go to lunch there. The food was food and the place was busy. Our server Rachel increased the tip amount after I signed off on the receipt. I saved my receipt and knew my $21 lunch did not add up to $27 since I gave her a$3 tip. The service was slow and I actually took the bill into the cashier myself. I called today and asked to speak to the owner or manager and Rachel told me that I couldn't and they only take messages. I asked if they would call me back and she said it was at their discretion! This is why I am writing a yelp review. And NO ir was not a MISTAKE! read more

We are brown Californians driving through rural Washington and we hadn't eaten since breakfast. Every place that popped up was closed on Sundays, so my husband made an executive decision and pulled over at this place. We walk in and EVERYONE was white. LOL! Except the cook of course! Despite my concerns, everyone was super friendly and the food was great! I loved the authenticity of the patrons and the employees. The people I conversed with all seemed to be locals who frequent this establishment and knew the menu quite well. I had the Rodeo burger with excellent onion rings, and the hubby (who's on Keto) had the Buzz's Burger wrapped in lettuce with a side salad. We were both extremely satisfied. I literally did not leave anything on my plate. The hubby loved the opportunity to gamble here as well. Unfortunately, we didn't win anything. ‍ read more

We had an excellent time. The food, breakfast- was better than you'd expect it to be in a tavern. The food was good and clean diner style breakfast, large portions, well seasoned and excellent service. The atmosphere was fun, I enjoyed the smell of black coffee, someones burnt toast and a few guy friends having beers for brunch and a chat about their gals, aw the sweet smell of public dining and the noise of people again, FINALLY. Dining is available inside or out, and such a vast menu from again diner breakfast to Korean wings, speciality ramen, and Kalbi, WHAT?!!! In Shelton?! Yep! If you enjoy a long standing tavern thats clean, fun, good service & food, its worth the stop. Oh and the person that said its just "bar food" its a TAVERN older than you and serves Korean snacks! ;) Cheers! read more

About once a year write an update on this place purely to post updated pictures of all the new items we have tried in the last year. Same good food - yes Covid raised prices here like everywhere else but I still think it is a good meal for the price. On a positive note, covid caused the expansion of the outdoor space along the water, which I really like - before it was a small patio and mostly used by smokers. Now on a nice day, you can really sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Probably my favorite food this year is the salads - they are huge and really yummy! read more
