Wow! We came in on a Sunday on our first visit to Olympia for an early dinner. This place is marvelous. Huge portion of rare tuna atop a cabbage salad for my husband and vegetarian for me - grilled romaine salad, Asian green beans, and chili. We didn't try the yummy looking baked goods or full bar with on tap kombucha, but there was a happy, relaxed vibe. Our server, Cat, was wonderful. There must be some magic in the kitchen because our food came out fast and hot. The location is right downtown and we walked around the lake after our dinner. Glad to share this gem!!! read more

Probably my all time favorite restaurant in Olympia. The staff is always friendly and attentive, starting with Jeff at the top. He is always smiling and welcoming like he is truly thankful that you are coming in. I've never had a bad meal here. The menu is very inclusive for all diets and the food is always prepared well. My favorite is "A Hen Crossed the Road". Their risotto is an excellent side or on its own. The Poutine is on point with the most beautifully smoked bacon. The burgers are delicious and they have several different types of "burgers" as well. I could go on and on. But I won't. TLDR; This place rocks. You won't regret coming in. read more

I came here for the Impossible Burger and I ate the Impossible Burger. It was entirely worth the trip. I've been wanting to try the Impossible Burger for a few years, so when Cascadia posted on FB that they got it I was totally in. The owner told me that Cascadia was the second restaurant in the state to get the burger, so slow clap. As for the burger itself, I would say that the burger matches the flavor, texture, and experience of a burger almost perfectly. I don't know if this was an illusion of the tastebuds, from having the usual dressings of a burger, but I would probably not notice if someone gave me that and pretended it was meat. I would say that it was ~98% of the beef burger experience, it even felt like it was greasy like a beef burger. Ingredients are all quality. Bun paired nicely with the burger for texture and taste. They even have vegan cheese and vegan mayo, which I heard was equally as delicious. Also, given that I came to try the burger, it would still behoove me to note that the fries were delightful. Just delightful. As was the service. Thank you for leading the charge to bring the Impossible Burger to Olympia. read more

First time eating here and loved it! Great service and the Steak Frites Bleu was sooo good!

This is one of our date night spots. Super romantic and super yummy food! The owner is always there giving you 100% best customer service experience you will ever have. Always smiling and super friendly. Best romantic date night sport in Oly. Highly Recommend it. read more

Ate lunch here - service was awesome, clean spot, and delicious food. We had the beef and kale soup- amazing! Also had the pulled pork salad, steak salad, and bacon wrapped sirloin. All were very fresh and tasty. Desert was surprisingly tasty- we had the gluten free chocolate torte and vegan carrot cake and both were memorable and delish! We will definitely be back! Friendly place with delicious food! read more

Tried this place at the beginning of COVID and they failed. Food was stale, cold (take out) and tasteless. Thought we would give them another chance after a year. Still the take out order was incomplete, the fries were soggy and cold, portions were small and not well put together. The menu looks great but they did not deliver when it came time. The taco were scant and over cooked. The sandwich was dry and would have been awful if the bread wasn't good. Sorry you can't get it together because the menu looks great and the atmosphere is nice. read more

Great variety and quality of food, especially the vegetarian and vegan options. The only drawback was the wait staff, who made several mistakes on the orders the last couple times I was there. read more

This place is trying too hard to be funky and cool. Have to give it props for a nice and cozy environment - but sadly, the food is just so-so. Another example of burgers trying too hard to be good (when in fact they were created with lots of creative titles, but only limited quality). In other words - appearance over actual taste. Kind of like modern politics - flash over substance. But it's local - it's Olympia - Keep eating local! read more

I didn't like the cajun fries. My son's regular fries were great. They should offer an option as to the type of fries you get with your sandwich. read more

The best food and service was awesome. Will come back!!!!! Neat atmosphere and cleanliness.

Wow, from the impossible burger, or the schnitzel German tofu sandwich thing. It all was outstanding. Order came out said hi and talk for a while that was cool. Waiter was on top of everything. I actually ordered a second Addy after having the impossible burger since it was so good. The best vegan burger I've ever had. read more

This place is very eclectic and cozy. The staff were very friendly and professional. The food was really good and the portions were huge for the price. read more

Friendly attentive service, with excellent food, served up in an interesting and somewhat eclectic atmosphere. Bacon wrapped sirloin kabobs were larger than expected and delicious. The shrimp and scallop Vera Cruz on a bed of risotto was awesome; the scallops melted in your mouth. Finished off with a shared piece of double chocolate cheesecake. "Dick" and "Jane" restrooms were clean and filled with themed pictures. Street parking can get scarce during peak times, plan accordingly. read more

This has turned into a favorite lunch stop for us. Really good food, awesome big band/jazzy tunes, good service, and an amazing brown sugar pie. read more

The vegan pasta I got was very bland and the mushrooms tasted as if they were very old. Odd combo of veggies too, but large portion size. Wouldn't really go again. read more

I came here because I read they were having Live Jazz that night, so I decided to sit in for dinner and enjoy the show. Food: pretty good! I had the Crispy Trout Salad and ate the whole damn thing. It was cooked to perfection and the salad accompanied the fish really well. Service: lacking. The owner or whatever was really particular with where I sat at the bar. I wanted good seats for the live music, but he kept insisting that I sit in places where I didn't want to sit (like all the way at the end of the bar and farthest from the music stage?) My server, for the most part, was attentive; what threw the night off was when my glass of beer disappeared. I had to go to the bathroom, and dining by myself, I asked him to make sure they didn't take my plate/beer away because I'd be back shortly. Sure enough, I came back to my seat and my beer was gone when I wasn't even done drinking it. Live Music: thank Jesus the music was really good. I came when Joann Green was performing, and her voice is magical. If you find her on whatever social media, you can join their emailing list to know where she's performing at other lounges/restaurants. Don't know if I'd come back, especially when I can find other places with live music where my booze won't disappear on me. The mediocre service isn't worth it. read more

If you're a true and loyal citizen of the Free States of Cascadia, this is for you! Good variety of food choices fit for grown-ups and kids. The interior is welcoming and cozy with great service and a great two piece band on the night we went. We had a fried trout on salad, steak, and chicken nuggets as well as an artichoke appetizer. Everything was flavored well, cooked exactly right, and good size portions. This place is reppin' the PACNW in stellar style! read more

Great Food - Great Service - Love the Decor This was an easy drop in for a Sunday afternoon family lunch. Free parking across the street, seated within 5 minutes, lots of menu options. We had burgers and they were perfect. We enjoyed the staff and left purchasing a couple unique gift items on our way out the door. We would definitely visit here again! read more

While most businesses were closed during COVID, we were happy to find this place for dinner. The restaurant had a great vibe. Our waiter was fantastic! He was friendly and had great recommendations for food and drinks. We ordered the mussels and clams pasta dish and steak with fries. I literally scooped up all the sauce in my pasta dish. It was just perfect! The steak was cooked perfectly too. I do have to say the French fries needed a little something since everything else was quite flavorful. We did end our meal with a very rich chocolate cheesecake with a raspberry sauce. My husband ate it all. :) read more

I really wanted to like this place with its historical presence, its support of local ingredients and food producers, and live local musicians. However the rating and reviews on here are highly misleading. Upon closer look I did notice how so many 5 star reviewers have zero friends, zero photos, and less than 10 reviews. Very suspect. The food itself is the primary reason for the one star review. Literally everything was terrible, except the fries were almost edible. The schnitzel was the most dried out piece of chicken completely lacking in flavor that I've ever seen. Also, here's a pro tip, when a guest asks what kind of lemonade you have, don't brag that "it is made fresh in-house" when it tastes like you stirred it up out of some powdered mix. read more

Just go here. Just. Go. ! Friendly staff; Kevin answered the dozen questions we had about beer and food. The owners are also working the floor and were super friendly. The food! So so good! The spinach and artichoke dip is to die for; I'd eat it as a meal. Delicious. We all enjoyed our meals (had the special and the hen), and were stuffed to the gills. Loved every bite! Definitely a must. Thank you! read more

First time at Cascadia Grill. I had the Garlic Steak ahh Pvov. The best steak I have ever had. Of course, it was take out because of COVID-19. If you are tired of eating the same old thing, give a treat to your taste buds and go there! read more

The vibe in this place is so ridiculously fun. You enter and it's a low-key place with seating in non-traditional tables, but traditional enough where it's not crazy. The entire place is covered in pictures, but not pictures that show off "this no-name person ate here" but just random pictures of people, even Mayor Adam West from Family Guy, a few grizzly bears, the brothers from Frasier and others. It's just a fun place. The menu also has some fun to it, including the Philly Cheese Steak that says "Yes, and Cheese Whiz - deal with it". It is quintessentially Northwest. We had the soup, the Italian Sausage Burger and the Bacon Wrapped Top Sirloin Kabobs. They were all tasty. The Italian Sausage was very spicy, but there is truth in advertising as it said it on the menu. Service was great. The entire dinner - including 4 glasses of wine - was only $70. Not bad for what we got. read more

The food was very good, we had the Cajun chicken and the steak. The only thing I would change would be to pick sides. But overall the staff was amazing and the food was beyond delicious! read more

Huge servings and attentive service ... The menu was OK. The fried chicken needed more flavor but overall happy with my experience .

i went here a few days ago while on my washington vacation. seriously, this is the best restaurant i have ever been to. i got the ribs and they were INCREDIBLE. best ribs i have ever had, they fell right off the bone and were smothered in a unique delicious raspberry bbq sauce. the steakfingers and seasoned fries were very delicious as well. the host and our server were super friendly, everyone seemed happy to be there it was a great energy. the ambiance here is awesome. covered wall to wall in washington memorabilia. bigfoot, mountains, celebrities, vintage photographs, j.d. cooper, menu items named after various washington things, it was like a little museum. i bought a shesquatch keychain at the front. i am genuinely disappointed i don't live here because i would go to this restaurant everyday. i will never be satisfied by any other restaurant again, nothing can top this. wonderful experience and food to die for. read more

I was impressed with the quality of the food the great quality of service the decent price and the cleanliness

Great food and service, friendly staff fun atmosphere! Always a kind word every time I come in music when they have it is great.

I want to say we had the very best evening and dinner here!!! From the moment we walked in, I felt @ home, greeted by a nice young lady, who was getting our table ready and then the waitress also came by (I believe her name was Chloe?) to help us. I absolutely loved the decor!!! So fun and inviting. We sat in a table at the back corner. We were celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday. We talked with a nice couple seated next to us, who knew this restaurant well and raved about it. We had excellent service by the same young server who greeted us and she told us the story/history of this restaurant. The food was ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! I had the pork salad, daughters who are vegetarian had Soyrizo tacos, tofu and husband had ahi. EXCELLENT! We had such a nice memorable evening, so glad I looked at other great reviews and decided to celebrate her birthday here. We will always remember and definitely go back there if we return to this area. We spoke to one of the owners, I believe his name was Joe, I believe he is also a chef there. My husband and I met in the restaurant business, just as 2 of the owners, so it felt familiar. Had a lovely conversation with Joe. Thank you Cascadia for these beautiful memories!! read more

They showed gratitude and was excellent in follow up visits. This place is the spot. I recommend this spot it has great food and awesome service. read more

I highly recommend you eat here. My boyfriend and I stopped in on our way back to Seattle after a day in Ocean Shores. Service was attentive and friendly. We got sat at the front by a window which I love because I like to people watch. Our server provided recommendations and told us what's popular because we weren't sure what to try. I ended up having the poutine, twice cooked artichoke, the Reuben, a piece of cheesecake and a piece of their Irish coffee pie (or cake, I forget the exact name). They have a great selection of local beers on tap. My boyfriend had an IPA while I had a blonde. Both were very good. The food was so fantastic and delicious! The poutine was hot with cold cheese curds which was a perfect contrast. The twice cooked artichoke came with a lemony garlic sauce which was incredible. The Reuben was great and then bread was toasted which I really love but some places overlook. For dessert I had the Irish coffee dessert and my boyfriend had the cheesecake so I can only comment on the one I had. It was so delicious, everything I like! It wasn't too sweet and it had a very nice balance of the bitter coffee and a bite of whiskey! I will definitely come back here if I'm in town again. On our way out the owner (?) thanked us for coming in. Overall a great experience. read more

I have loved ribs, as long as I can remember. I can say I have eaten more than my fair share !!!! The ribs here were amazing !!!! Fall off the bone, and full of flavor !!! My husband had the salmon and cleaned his plate , which is a rarity ! The music was nice, and low enough to talk over !!!! Being from Michigan, should I ever get back this way, I would make an effort to eat here again !!! I would even go as far to say, these were some of the best I have ever had. To start the Poutine was the best ever !!!! read more

The food was great, service friendly, atmosphere comfortable. Would recommend and will be going again. The Cajun chicken tortellini was a favorite at our table. Ahi was good and pork chops. Desert carrot cake, cheesecake and custard was good as well. Highly recommend read more

Wow! Excellent vegan options here! I had the tofu schnitzel sandwich which was fantastic!!! The homemade fries were delicious too. My friend , who is a carnivore, had the pork chops which he raved about. The artichokes were to die for! Don't miss those! Be sure and check out the bathroom decor for smiles! Love this place! If I lived here I would be a regular. read more

First - the service was Unbelievably Slow!! Don't know why - it was not at all busy when we arrived a little after noon. 10 minutes to get water, 15 for for coffee and just under an hour to get lunch. Lunch was nothing complicated. We both had salad with chicken on top, dressing on the side - not hard to make. Bill came $35.00 plus. Definitely Not worth the wait or the price. We won't be back. The decor and music was cool,though. Also - the chicken was dried out read more

My wife and I stopped in on the way through Olympia to the Peninsula a few weeks back and had an excellent time. The burger (D.B. Cooper) I had was excellent, they had a solid beer list, and the poutine was some of the best I have had in the US. Oh and save room for desert. read more

Love love LOVE Cascadia Grill! The blackened chicken tortellini is AMAZING! And you all should try JuJus brown sugar pie and mocha nib ice cream! read more

Mistakenly thought they were open every evening until 10 p.m. (it's 9pm M-Th) and arrived at 8:50. A guy outside says "go on in!"...are you sure? "yes, it's fine. i own the place." Good service. Warm chat with the owner. Most important, killer food! Chicken tortellini with a cajun alfredo sauce, itialian sausage "burger," brown sugar pie a la mode, and white chocolate rasberry cheesecake. All killer! read more

The wine is good. The service is good. I've tried the food a few times in an effort to give them a fair shake. I'm done with that effort. I had the Cajun penne pasta tonight. Never found any part of it that resembled Cajun flavors. It really was one of the worst meals I have ever paid for. Over cooked crumbling gf pasta, over cooked veggies, an over abundance of olives, way too coconut milk forward, cut up slices of cheese. No flavor except coconut milk. Went home and had a tums. read more
