There's a Cajun creole on the vegan menu that's to die for, nice and just the right amount of spicy. But as a non-vegan i just had to un-vegan it by having them add some chopped up bratwurst. EXECELLENTAMUNDO! Great food, great wine choices and really great service. read more

It's a cute diner without that cheap diner feel. I ordered the steak frites, which came as one thick piece of steak with quite a bit of fat. I was a little confused by the cut--it felt like a larger piece with a small section still attached, almost like a chicken breast cut into uneven portions. I ordered it medium-well; the edges were cooked that way, but the center leaned more toward medium-rare. The fries were okay, but a bit cold and sad, honestly . The Diet Coke was flat. On the positive side, the service was super nice and attentive, the bathroom was very clean, and the overall vibe was pleasant. Because of the great service, I'm still giving them 5 stars. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area and try something else on the menu. read more

I feel badly about leaving a negative review, because I love to support local businesses, and the majority of the time I really enjoy Cascadia Grill. That being said.. Today, I ordered the Creole Penne, a vegan dish boasting Cajun spices. It took a very long time to get our food, but it was busy at the time, so I wasn't too bothered. However, after finally getting my pasta and taking a big bite ( it LOOKED delicious) I was pretty annoyed. Folks, there was absolutely nothing about this pasta that was even remotely Cajun. If Cajun was a state, it would be as close to being Cajun as Texas is close to Alaska. It tasted like they'd put some margarine on some pasta and tossed it with a little handful of veggies. No seasoning. I have never sent back food in a restaurant before unless it was the wrong dish, like maybe they brought me someone else's order by mistake. But today, I sure as heck did. There's no way I'm paying $27 for a bowl of bland, oily penne. They asked if they could bring me something else, so I went with the same thing I usually order here- the Inland Empire Street Tacos. I love them- they're vegan, and they come with this super tasty sweet and sour taco sauce that absolutely makes the dish. They brought out the tacos fairly quickly, and I was very grateful to have something I was sure would be tasty. But, dear reader, I was in for a surprise. Because wouldn't you know it, the taco sauce they gave me was not the sweet and sour taco sauce that comes with the tacos. It was a weird, spicy sauce that tasted like Heinz 57 mixed with a little tapatio. It was ok, but was not what I ordered. At this point, I just wanted to get out of there and wasn't about to complain again. And who knows how long it would've taken if I had asked for the right sauce. My husband and I were ready to go, so we tried to make it pretty obvious. We sat, not eating, for 20 minutes while trying unsuccessfully to get the attention of any server we could. My husband finally went and got someone to let our server know we were ready to go so that we could get our bill and leave. I'll be honest, I probably won't be back. Being vegan and finding restaurants to eat at is difficult as it is, but this experience was the final nail in the coffin. I feel bad that I've recently recommended this restaurant to clients from out of town, and will not do so in the future. read more

Cute thematic interior and fast friendly service. Portions were generous and the food was tasty. Burgers seemed expensive compared to the Midwest and both of our burger buns did not hold together after the first bite- my bun seemed dry - definitely not fresh and not what you should expect at this price point. Many vegetarian options and even their own menu read more

The staff was great, very attentive and helpful, but unfortunately the food was not. Everything tasted very bland, to the point where it felt like there wasn't even salt in the food. The fries were clumped together, and the ribs only had sauce on the ends. To be honest, we stopped eating, paid for our meal, and went somewhere else to find food. We really wanted to like it, but it ended up feeling like a waste. read more

Cascadia Grill - Very bland ribs - Steakhouses Near Me - Olympia, Washington

In a random search for some lunch I ended up coming across Cascadia Grill and I'm so glad. I'm sure I've drove past several times but never really noticed it. Coming in it's giving a West coast Cracker Barrel vibe with assorted photos, pine trees, mountains and of course big foot. Cascadia had a great variety of food, small shareable plates and great portions for the price. The service was great drinks came out fairly quick, was offered water and to look at the menu right after the waitress greeted and sat me down. I was surprised at this small but great place and can't wait to go again. read more

The food is delicious and generously portioned. Service is prompt, and drinks are strong. The ambiance is decent, though I find the tables a bit too close together, especially with the bright lighting. This place is better suited for family gatherings read more

We stopped by Cascadia Grill on our way back to Seattle from Portland. We were just looking for a place to eat and were expecting typical diner food... and so we were pleasantly surprised when the food came out and the plating was nice and the food was delicious. We got the following for sharing and enjoyed them all: Crispy Trout Salad, The One and Only Garlic Steak, and Southern Fried Pork Chops The interiors have so much character, check out their restrooms! The service was good too. read more

This was our first time here and it won't be our last! It was phenomenal! The food, the atmosphere, tge service all were A+++! The portions are HUGE! I worked on my Polynesian Steak sub over three meals and only ate maybe 10% of the fries and had to give them away! So delicious! Artichoke dip and raspberry white chocolate cheesecake was delicious too! Definitely get reservations if you can! We walked up and were lucky that the "cold drafty table" that they leave unsat for that reason was open for us! We were forewarned so that was really appreciated! We were out to see a play at the State theater just a couple blocks up the road so didn't have to move the car either as parking is difficult to find easily! Can't wait to go back! read more

Fun place, friendly staff and server. We were sat in a corner, our table was pretty wobbly but we enjoyed looking at all the decor. The menu had some nice options, I got the one and only garlic steak and my daughter got the blackened chicken tortellini both were good sized portions and tasty enough. My daughter is moving to the area soon so I can see us coming back here again to try other things such as the burger the people next to us got. It looked delicious! read more

Such a great place. Love the music and the decor. The staff are super friendly, the service is fast and the food is really really good. They have an extensive menu, many options, and they all looked good. I can definitely see this as a regular spot when in town. The vibe is very welcoming and familiar.

First impressions when meeting the host when stepping into this establishment was perfect. Knew I had selected the right restaurant. He was super friendly and engaging. Wait was very short. Seated in a very nice room our server was just like the hostess. What a delightful experience with him. Recommendations were brief and once food was chosen wine was served professionally. Food came out ( I had the Blackened Chicken Tortellini) and boy was not disappointed. Wonderful flavors. Would recommend this rest if in Olympia or nearby. They also have a full vegan menu. read more

Stopped by for lunch with my colleagues on a Tuesday and they had not a single table occupied. We were promptly seated and placed out orders. Some of us ordered their salad while some thier poutine while a few others ordered their steak burger and spicy chicken burger. It took them forever to bring the food out. After such a long wait, the food was cold and dint taste freshly made at all. The place has nice character but due to poor service, quality of food I will not recommend this place. Maybe they had a bad day - not sure but my experience wasnt pleasant at all. read more

It has been years since I've sent food back at a restaurant, but Cascadia Grill broke that streak. I had some battered pork chops with gravy and house cut fries. The chops were the most horrifically boring things I have eaten at a restaurant in memory. The fries on top of the pile were good, but underneath was what could best be described as potato confetti, obviously the dredge from the bottom of the fry basket. The server asked how everything was before I'd had a bite, so I said it was fine, and that was the last we saw of her until she showed up at the end and realized I'd only taken two bites of a chop and eaten a few fries. She did ask if I wanted something else, but that was thirty minutes after initially ordering, so no. She did take the food off the bill and toss it, of course, but there was no apology or acknowledgement other than informing me no one else had ever complained and that it was "weird" I found the food intensely boring. My wife had a salmon special, which she liked okay but wasn't worth nearly $50 by any stretch. Server said she hoped we'd give them another chance sometime, and I said I would, but on further reflection this is another restaurant that proves that the citizens of Olympia love bland food for some reason that continues to baffle me. Add to that crummy service, and no, I won't be back. read more

Came here based on all the positive reviews and it did not disappoint. Of course I had to go with the garlic flank steak (4/5 stars) and my girl ordered the soup and salad (5/5 stars). We also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip (5/5 stars.... So good) The only part of the of the garlic flank steak meal I didn't care for were the crispy potatoes. They came out undercooked for my taste. However, the steak came out a perfect medium rare as ordered. The spinach and artichoke dip is a MUST!!! Service was great and super friendly. Will come back for another date night! read more

The clams and mussel dish had the flavor of chicken soup and the mussels and clams were so fishy. They could even eat my meal. Service ok but nothing special or helpful. Super super disappointing and the poutine was cold. Total bummer. Never going back read more

Love this place and especially the Vegan Poutine appetizer - they also can accommodate what you want on your plate if you have to change it up! read more

This place is a cozy slice of heaven. They have a separate completely vegetarian menu, nostalgic music and decor. I was in town traveling on my own having never been in Olympia before and felt so welcome here, they are the definition of service. Loved my Po'boy and salad, a little pricy but 100% worth it. Reminded me of recipe I used to make from Vegan With a Vengeance, I wonder if chef is a fan! It's so great to have an omni-chef who knows how to make vegan food, he mentioned he used to be vegan. read more

Delicious food! 4 of us had lunch here last Sunday. The ambiance is very nostalgic with oldies playing in the back ground. The men's bathroom is adorned with pictures of people with the first name of "Dick". The other bathroom is adorned with pictures of people with the first name of "Jane". (Bathrooms are unisex) The service was pretty good for such a very busy restaurant. It started out as superior than as it got busier it kind of waned down to just good. Just not superior which was understandable since the guy was running around. Still he gets 5 stars for effort! The food is delicious! Everyone loved what they had. My son had the pastrami burger and loved it! I had the two different sausage Patty sandwich and thought it was delicious. My brothers had the Thai or Vietnamese beef sandwich and liked it. We also had the smoked trout appetizer and the Poutine appetizer, both were delicious! Nice place to eat and relax at!! Please see pictures below. read more

This place is great! My wife and I had a long day of work and looking for a place in Olympia that we have not yet tried. And my wife has been here 50 years! Any who..... The place is clean and quiet which is important to me with my difficulty hearing. We split a steak salad and poutine. The salad was fresh with plenty of steak and homemade ranch. The fries had lots of gravy and gooey cheese. The server was awesome and they have a cold beer selection: local IPA! Lots of cool pictures on the wall and they specialize in desserts. Go here. read more

We are only in town a couple days. Walked by yesterday and the place looked good so we came back today to check it out. We sat at a booth for a while and watched some Monday Night Football. The interior is decorated with a mix of Pacific Northwest and icons. It is fun to around and identify different items. Once we got service it was great. We waited about 20 minutes. Not sure what happened there but the next booth that was seated after us were waited on quickly with drink orders right away and checked on frequently. We eventually flagged someone down to ask if we could order and flustered at first by hearing we hadn't received service they helped us out the rest of the time and it was good from there on out. Thank you, Rowan! I asked to sample some IPAs, and for food suggestions, and we ordered food and desserts. The keg blew of the beer I intended to order so Rowan suggested another and it was delicious. We had the coho with the fried risotto cake, grilled romaine, Reuben with side salad, cheesecake of the day, brown sugar pie, and the vegan cheesecake. The menu here is impressive and there's a whole veggie/vegan menu as well as omni options. When I'm back in town I would come back for the food and maybe watch another game. Probably sit at the bar next time instead. read more

This is a must stop spot in Olympia, friends! I ordered the lemon caper veggie pasta and it was packed with so much flavor, that I could not put it down fast enough! The seasoning of the pasta and vegetables cut with the tart of the lemon has me salivating just thinking about this dish. The restaurant ambiance was also very fun with a Sasquatch/forest theme! It was cozy (yes, even with Sasquatch watching), the service was wonderful, and the food came out just in time. Based on this flavor combination alone, I would love to come back anytime I find myself in Olympia again. The menu is vast and I want to make my way through it all. read more

We enjoyed the Cooper burger and the salad. This restaurant has really got ambiance because it is in Olympia, Washington and there are pictures of famous people who have eaten there over the years.

This place is a gem. I love how welcoming and inclusive it is. They have a vegan vegetarian menu and lots of gluten free options (a separate frier) which I really appreciate.They also have all gender bathrooms. The restaurant is decorated nicely for Christmas and they are playing Christmas music...very festive. I ordered the cajun tofu sandwich with fries. The tofu sandwich was excellent. I didn't like the fries or vegan ranch dressing. The ranch dressing tasted bland and had a weird flavor. My husband loved the vegan Viet-Thai baguette. I wish we had a restaurant like this in Seattle. I'll definitely be back. read more

The spot itself was extremely unique and worth the stop just to experience and to take in all of the photos and memorabilia on the walls and throughout the restaurant. We will be back! read more

I was in town from California visiting my parents and wanted to take them out for dinner. This place popped up when searching for restaurants around the Olympia area. It was a busy Thursday night and thankfully we didn't have to wait much as were seated within 10 minutes. Everything we ordered from the appetizer to our main dishes was exceptionally good. Our server was wonderful, she was funny and attentive and made sure our waters and drinks were always full. The ambiance was great, live music was happening during our dinner. The spinach & artichoke dip was great, garlic steak was full of flavor, the rack of ribs were tasty. The portions were generous that to-go boxes were required! Next time I'm in town I'll make sure to swing by again! read more
