Spent last Sunday up in Port Townsend and on our way home, decided to phone in and order a pie. When we got there to pick up, you could have blown me over with a feather when I was presented with a $32 BILL!!! FOR A PIE!!! AND A MEDIOCRE PIE AT THAT!!! WHAT THE HECK MAN? This pie used to be worth the drive from Bremerton but NEVER worth $32 and now, I wouldn't have paid $10 for what we got. Not good CC, not good at all! read more

This is the best little Country cafe ever. Great Country breakfasts. Clubhouse sandwich is the best I've had. Great burgers, malts, fresh baked pies. Outside dining available. read more

Normally a "go to " for breakfast, this is NOT your stop for any other meal, grub, food, nor swill. Menu is tired, and unimaginative. A burger is nearly $10, and oh, would you like fries? That'll be closer to another 10 than to 5. We each received a glass of water. Apparently we didn't want a second glass of their precious water. An embarrassment for a formerly good stop. read more

See lots of cars here, thought maybe is missing something so mom and I finally made it in. Came for breakfast, immediately noticed there was nothing on the menu I wanted, she wanted biscuits and gravy. She asked the waitress the gravy is house made, waitress looked perplexed and said yes, my mom clarified "not from a package or can?" Waitress responded"no" was not confident seeming so my mom told her she is watching her salt intake curious if the sausage is brown and serve or cooked there on spot , the prices are high for Sysco pre made food so anyhow food comes out , sausage obviously brown and serve and gravy is white as paper and obviously not house made. There was nothing good that I can think of about the place not even the coffee. read more

This place always has a full parking lot. We finally found a day to stop in for lunch. We learned that Tuesday's special is a Reuben and very popular. We ordered that and a cold meatloaf sandwich. The Reuben was nicely grilled and with melty cheese. The fries were ok, plain. The green salad included with the special was huge. The meatloaf sandwich was fine, would have been must better if the meat wasn't super bland. read more

Chimacum Cafe - Meatloaf sandwich w/ potato salad - American Near Me - Chimacum, Washington

I really like the Chimacum Cafe. It's that classic greasy spoon American diner. So a quick note about my rating...on a global scale it I give it 3ish. It's good but there's certainly better (higher end) places out there. However, my expectations are different based on the type of place I'm going. So if this is being judged on the greasy spoon scale, I'd give it a solid 4+. It has everything you'd expect...gossiping waitresses (sit at the bar...yeah like an actual old school bar), just ok but always fresh and hot coffee (they never let you empty the cup), legitimate mid century decor (as in original...not just retro to be cool), mounds of soft butter, and most importantly really solid classic american food. I love stopping in after a cold morning fishing in the area, but we've also driven up from Bremerton just for breakfast. In short, if you like classic greasy spoon diners, this place is on point. read more

Tried it once. Won't go back. The waitress was nice. Nothing else worthy For diner food, I'd rather go to a Denny's, but fortunately there isn't one of those in the area. The food had no flavor. The toast had no flavor and little texture. The sausage was greasy links of unknown origin. PT has a lot of great places for breakfast; this isn't one of them. read more

Despite the number of positive reviews here on Yelp, I would definitely not recommend this restaurant. I ordered the soup, and was appalled at what was served to me: tinny-tasting chicken broth with vegetables that looked like they were poured out of a can and sliced spaghetti noodle chunks. No flavoring to speak of. My husband ordered a burger with a salad, which was salad from a bag. After that, we decided not to order the pie, which, when I looked at it on the way out, did not look homemade. This was not an inexpensive restaurant for what you get. Keep driving down the road, friends...this restaurant is no good. read more

The locals love this place! Breakfast Lunch Dinner, the parking lot is full. You get your money's worth here. Breakfast is the best! Have a cuppa Joe, pancakes and you will be one happy camper! read more

The menu has not changed much from 1980 when we first went there to eat. Their vegetarian menu is a frozen veggie patty from a box or a veggie sandwich consisting of lettuce, tomato, onion & maybe a few slices of cucumber. The owner/owners really need to check out what people are eating in 2019. read more

Stopped by the Chimacum Cafe on an Easter Sunday ride with six other bikes. We were cold: temps were in the low 50s and it was overcast and damp, and they gave us a cheery welcome and hot coffee all around. They had a ham special, but none of us ordered it. Most of the guys were virtuous and had salads, which came with a cup of their home-made cream of turkey soup, which by all accounts was very good. I had fish and chips which came with a large serving of coleslaw made with purple cabbage, both cocktail sauce and tartar sauce, and ice cream which I redirected to the next child who wanted it. There were so many fries that all the virtuous salad eaters had some and there were still leftovers. In fact, the portions were prodigious and nobody cleaned their plate. The fish was breaded, not battered: the only downside. Good down home American cafe food and no one went home hungry. read more

The cook with the long black ponytail needs to wear a hair net. After pulling the second hair out of my "everything" omelette my meal was finished. My wife had blueberry pancakes the blue berries tasted like dirty freezer. The portion size is massive so if that is all you care about this is the place for you. read more

After a nice weekend of camping my wife and I had the hankering for some diner food. We have eaten at the Chimacum Cafe in the past and it has been decent. This time was an entirely different story. After sitting we proceeded to wait for someone to acknowledge our existence and the place wasn't even busy. Once we got some service we ordered our food, pancakes and two scrambled eggs. I will agree with another poster that the pancakes are indeed big but bigger doesn't mean better. They tasted really boring, kind of like cafeteria style food. The eggs were the same way, no seasoning, rubbery and with a slight green hue. One bite and I was done with them. I seriously doubt I'll be back anytime soon since this experience was pretty disheartening. Blargh. read more

I've been wanting to eat here for almost 30 years! I finally got the chance and it was disappointing. My wife had the fruit plate for lunch, the waitress tried to talk us out of it, but due to diet restrictions, she ordered it. It was $10.95! For an apple, orange, kiwi and a banana. We were told melons were hard to come by and too expensive. There was a fruit stand across the street! My lunch "special" gave me food poisoning, so I was in agony for the next few hours. I'm afraid to say that I probably won't be back. The waitress was super friendly and helpful though... I wished it was better, I'm all for supporting local commerce, especially restaurants! Too bad they can't use fresher ingredients that are locally grown. If you want a "Burger" go down the road a ways to Fat Smitty's. read more

Ok, so the decor is pretty shabby and outdated, but still charming nonetheless. Excellent breakfast, and usually very friendly service. Sometimes a little slow because of under-staffing, but the servers work their tails off and they don't forget that you're sitting there waiting. Gigantic HALF salad and most dressings are home made. Dinner is a little less satisfying (canned or frozen veggies mix is kind of mushy and flavorless,) but overall, it's a nice little home town diner. Haven't tried the pies yet, but they're supposed to be fantastic. read more

If you love home-made PIE, get in here. Prices are low, service is friendly, menu holds no surprises, just straight-ahead American diner grub done right. Nice big burgers. Good fresh salads, on the lighter side. Or just go right for the pie. You only live once! read more

I love stopping here for pie! especially for breakfast! My boyfriend and I love to make a day trip adventure and stop in here for some yummy breakfast before heading to Sequim for the Olympic Game Farm. I've never had a bad meal here and the food is extremely affordable. My favorite is the strawberry rhubarb pie! read more

We think the taco salad is the best we have ever had. It may not be "authentic" but the seasoning is superb. This is a destination comfort food cafe for some folks. It is very traditional, and they do serve canned vegetables. The soup is always good; I especially like their "taco soup" when it is offered. (soups change daily) The servings are ample. It is comfort food folks, and that is what you will get. The service is always cheerful. read more

My wife and I wanted to serve pie at our wedding and we're so glad we chose pie from the Chimacum Cafe. They were very easy to work with and everybody loved the pies. Don't skip the wild blackberry! The pies were a great addition to a perfect wedding at Finnriver farm. read more

We're big fans of Chimacum, and stop by every time on our way out to the Olympic Peninsula! The pie is the best part of Chimacum Cafe (get it with ice cream) but it's also a great spot to grab a hearty breakfast at a great price. Stopped in for lunch the other day and we weren't as excited about that food as we are about the pie and breakfast. Nonetheless, it remains one of our favorite diners and deserves at least one visit from everyone headed out west! read more

Check your bank statements if you eat here. I was over chaged and they said it was a problem with there new card machein!

Good typical little American style cafe. Has excellent homemade Pies that are famous in the area and people come from far and wide to get them. Also on thursday nights they have a pot roast dinner that is pretty amazing. Burgers are also above-average . SO if your passing through I do recommend stoping here for some food that will hit the spot. Not the best but not the worst . The staff is also quite friendly which makes this place have a family atmosphere to it. read more

When the Browning owned this restaurant it was a place to go. Now that Debbie or others are in charge it has gone to the dumps. If they forget to give you what you ordered and PAYED for they could care less how far away you live. They act like you are stealing from them if you complain. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and ordered over $60.00 of food. Did not get half of the food. Then when I confronted the cook he ran off saying "I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT WORK" What is that about? All I said was can I ask you a personal question and didn't have to say anymore. If I could give them a minus 5 stars it would help others to know NOT to go there. read more

Honestly the food is very average. The only reason I give it a three star is e cause their pies are delicious.

Food was nothing out of the ordinary, but the pie is excellent. They do give you large serving sizes, have a low-carb option on their menu, and have a wide variety of options. Interior and ambience are pretty standard, but our server was very gracious and went out of her way to accommodate us. read more

Small town diner, big time good food. I was not disappointed when I was in the area and wanting their breakfast. Their breakfast is limited in comparison to other diners, but it doesn't matter. Food is still pretty solid for breakfast eaters. You will be satisfied if you love breakfast hardy food. read more

Popular cafe. Very friendly and quick service. Wte had breakfast. and it was well prepared and plenty of it. Haven't tried their lunch or dinner. read more

Very disappointed with the food and the service. I was very upset to see that a table of 7 who came in after us got their food way before our order of two. I ordered the pork special which turned out not to be pork, it was turkey. It came with frozen vegetables and applesauce. We wait too long for the bland, frozen food and no one apologized for the wait or could explain why others were getting their food and we were not. We will never go there again. read more

I took some out of town guests up to Port Townsend yesterday. We left home with the though of eating a late breakfast before we got to Port Townsend. Stopped at the Chimacum Cafe....granted it was 11:15 AM but there was NO breakfast menu. They were only serving lunch and dinner items. We should have left at that point but decided to stay. Much to our dismay when you order a burger it does NOT come with fries...just a little bag of Lay's Chips! Fries are an additional $3.59! The food was 'ok'...but that was about it. So...for a fairly substandard meal I paid a bill of $74.00 for myself and four others. I swear we should've waited and ate at McDonald's in Port Townsend! Won't go there again! read more

This was the friendliest, most comfortable diner we have found in all of Washington and it was absolutely delightful to visit. Good diner food, Celiac friendly, kid friendly. read more

It's a traditional diner and a fine one at that. Huge portions which are a tad bit pricey but nobody is eating all of a meal anyway. Many entrees come with ice cream. Service and ambiance are vintage Chimacum and good. The only real weirdness here is the reliance on frozen vegetables. The dinner salad is a bit Spartan. Ultimately, better than Denny"s but Denny's circa 1975. Denny's has changed. The Chimacum Cafe hasn't. read more

Definitely one of my favorite places for comfort food! The chicken fried steak is the best! It comes with soup, salad, and ice cream. Good service! read more

Stopped by for a quick breakfast and wasn't disappointed. Scrambled eggs and hash browns, delicious and piping hot. Great sourdough toast. Friendly people serving good food. What's not to like? read more

Nasty nasty place!!! Don't understand how they are able to stay open. Not only is there good nasty and horrible but the food and the inside of the place stink... How can it stink? That's real bad!!!!! And the food makes everyone sick!!! I'v gotten sick from a soda before read more

Stopped here on our way to PT for a meeting and had dinner. I had the Roast beef with mashed potatoes and my wife had the Chicken Fried Steak. Both were very good, the dinner came with soup and salad... And Ice cream for dessert. Which meant no room for pie. We have to stop by there next time. Staff was very friendly and food was good. read more

We had lunch at the Chimacum Cafe on Saturday the 15th of February. We both ordered cheeseburgers and fries. It was the most tasteless food I have eaten in a very long time. The meat was dry, the fries were bland but the onion slice was huge (blech). The tartar sauce tasted like paste. Additional salt, pepper and ketchup could not rescue the meal. Save your money and go farther on to Port Townsend or across the bridge to Poulsbo to dine. read more

1 mile from our RV Park. A classic rural cafe'. Incredible home made pies. What you'd expect from the rural classic cafe'.

Eat here! Big portions, delicious breakfast! We are from out of town and we will be back to eat soon! You won't be disappointed. The staff was so friendly and we never had to ask for refills, they were wonderful! Homey, old school feel, try it! read more

Me and my family always chose chimacum cafe as our first place to eat ! Great food ! And great Service! Will always go back

Terrible service, twice orders to go have not been complete. The owner is rude and unapologetic, makes you feel like you're trying to rip her off when she just stole my money! Spent over $60 on take out part of the order was missing and the rest was inedible! Won't be giving them another chance to mess my order up! Too expensive for the poor quality nasty food! read more
