    $7 fries
    Carla R.

    I've been told by a friend since I moved here about this place and that it's a must try . I was out shopping had a backseat full of groceries I needed to stash in various freezers so I needed to feed the husband something quick and since I'd been out all morning I offered to bring a ready to eat lunch home . I don't care for any of the usual fast food places in Centralia. If I ever grab something I like to support local. I stopped by this place and quickly ordered 2 burgers 2 fries and 2 small shakes . NOTHING prepared me for the $49 total . The wait for the food was a ridiculous 35 minutes and the food was nothing I could in all honesty rate above a 3 out of 5 the shakes were thin and runny and the fries were the sane ones that are $2 for a 2 lb bag at grocery outlet . That brown bag meal was really only a $24 value . Definitely not equal to a $49 nice sit down meal. Wait till I see my friend .

    The place is like a roadside coffee stand, you pull up to the window and order so not much of an atmosphere. Whatever. I took my double cheeseburger and tater tots and ate a nearby park. I enjoyed it. It was greasy, but I like that once in a while. The servers were very friendly. Next time I'm in town I'll swing by again. I hear they have good shakes but didn't order this time. I'd like to see whoever owns this put a little more into the place and see what happens. This place has a lot of potential.

    Been there about 5 times now and I've never been disappointed. Food tastes amazing and service is great!! Ice cream shakes are also yummy. Try it out

    Waiting in line.

    Stopped for a quick bite to eat, and it's a true classic drive through. I enjoyed the fries the most, but since that is something of high importance to me thats all good! Nice stop on a road trip. As with any drive through, the time you have to wait varies with what the people in front orders. The wait was slightly longer than I expected, but it's not really the fault of the business.

    Great old time burger and ice cream drive up! We stopped here for dinner around 5:30 on a Thursday in July. There were only 2, or, 3 cars at the drive up windows and we were surprised it took a little time to get our order in/made? That was until... we drove around back to the large parking area to park and eat. There were 6 more cars lined up side by side, with a nice lady taking orders. One of those things only the locals know about... LOL! People were standing outside of their cars talking and kids were playing close by. A very old time relaxed feeling seemed to surround the place. There is also a nice inside seating area in a building off to the SW side of the Drive through. Large trash cans and nice bathrooms in the same area. The friendly young (HS?) waitress was very efficient at the drive through and a joy to talk with. Our food (corn dog/grilled cheese on sourdough) was very good, but, the $3.75 sundaes were the best! They even came with whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top! We will be back! Yum!!!

    4.85 for this?  I'll pass next time.

    We are from Longview and wanted to try something new, so I checked Google Maps and Jeremy's was…read morefirst on the list. The menu looked good so we headed up. I had the Pesto Caprese pizza and it was amazing! The balsamic glaze added just the right amount of sweetness to bring together the different flavors. My husband had the NY steak and said it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our server was very attentive and told us how all the ingredients were locally sourced, which is very good to hear because we like to support local businesses. Lastly, the building is quite beautiful with the exposed brick interior walls. I'm not familiar with the local history so I'm curious as to what this building was originally? We will definitely come back and also check out the market next time.

    So Bad It Was Almost Comical…read more My wife and I stopped here for lunch on our drive from Oregon to Seattle. The parking lot was completely full, so after circling around and eventually finding street parking, we figured the place must be popular. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the high point of the experience. The main restaurant was fairly full, so we were seated in a large, dark bar area in the back. And then... nothing happened. For more than 30 minutes. Eventually, a waiter appeared and took our order. Then another 30+ minutes passed before the food arrived. Somehow, even our iced tea didn't make it to the table until the food did. All told, we spent roughly an hour sitting at an empty table without so much as a beverage, and about 90 minutes from the time we arrived until we actually had food in front of us. At that point, the whole experience was becoming almost comical. We ordered a cod burger with fries, a Caesar salad, onion rings and an iced tea. The cod burger was okay. Nothing memorable, but edible. The Caesar salad was actually good. The fries, however, arrived cold, soggy and thoroughly greasy -- quite an accomplishment considering how long we waited for them. The onion rings apparently embarked on a separate journey altogether, because they never arrived. By then, we'd lost the will to ask about them and just gave up. The grand total for one cod burger with cold fries, a small Caesar salad and an iced tea? $40.00! We mentioned the long wait, forgotten food and other problems to our waiter. He was sympathetic and explained that they were short staffed, which we understand can make things difficult. But being short staffed doesn't make a 90-minute lunch, no drinks for an hour, cold soggy fries and forgotten food any less disappointing -- especially at those prices. By the end, we weren't even angry. The whole thing had crossed over into comedy. Needless to say, on future drives between Oregon and Seattle, we'll be finding a different midway lunch stop.

    So glad we discovered this cute destination restaurant and market! First off was amazing customer…read moreservice, a great variety menu of smoked meats, plates, sandwiches, loaded potatoes and salmon (of course;). The smoker is onsite and all ingredients sourced from local farm or markets in the area. The owner Frank was very friendly gave some great suggestions even checked on us with drink refills. Such great service so rare anymore. We had the most amazing 3 cheese mac and cheese with Brisket the small was big enough! I'm so glad I up'd my salmon kiesh meal to also include the side of the salmon chowder. It was definitely the best chowder I've ever had, complete with flaked smoked salmon on top of a creamy and hearty salmon w/ potato soup. We were so full after our meal I would not normally order dessert. However, he did recommend that we may want to try his wifes amazing homemade carrot cake with the cream cheese icing (which I prefer over an overly sugary one) I am so glad we ordered a slice to go. I ended up having that for breakfast the next morning with coffee and it was out of this world so moist with crunchy nuts on the cream cheese icing. Yum! The cafe is located in downtown Chehalis, which is a cute town. They are completing updates to their 100yr old building. They have an upstairs loft with video games and a dozen tables connected to an artesian market downstairs, think gourmet foods, mead, craft items, fancy bloody mary mix, and they also sell smoked salmon, smoked cheeses in their cooler. I will definitely be back when heading thru Chehalis. What a find!

I think the name threw me off because it sounds like a seafood restaurant and I do not eat things that come from the ocean. But then I saw someone make a comment somewhere on an online post about this place and it's Mac and Cheese so off to Yelp I went to look it up. After reading the 30 something all 5 star reviews and their menu, I yanked my husband's arm, got in the car and beep beeped us straight there. What a gem of a place! We got to seat ourselves, plenty of open clean tables to choose from. We were greeted immediately with a friendly smile. I ordered a small mac and cheese with pulled pork and he got a smokehouse baker. We both got a side house salad. The food arrived quickly and it looked delicious! Then we dug in and it tasted better than it looked. Even though I got the small I still couldn't eat it all, it was a good sized portion. After we paid our bill via QR code, we looked around the shop they had set up inside. Local artists crafts, artisan snacks, cheeses and of course their smoked salmon for sale. I'm kicking myself for not buying something but I am not worried because we are already talking about going back! Just one thing to note, they are not a dinner spot, they do close at 5pm, 6pm on Friday and Saturday. It works for us my husband likes his dinner at 4. Thank you NWSS! Cant wait to become a regular of yours soon!
