I went to Firecreek Ale House for the steak special. The steak came and I looked at it. It looked like a steak. I cut into it. It had become a thing from the desert. Dry and hard and without much life left in it. You could have found something like it out there among the sagebrush after a long summer and not been surprised. I used A.1. A man should never have to use A.1 on a steak. There are things a man accepts and there are things he should not accept. But I had paid for the steak and I was hungry. So I used it. The vegetables were sautéed in something that had met teriyaki sauce and had liked the meeting. They tasted of teriyaki. Everything tasted of teriyaki. The vegetables had no other plans. I ordered an Old Fashioned. The bartender made it like a man who had been trained to pour things that came already mixed. He did not make the drink so much as release it from its bottle and put it in front of me. I drank it. It was not an Old Fashioned I would remember. The servers were having a good time. There was a reunion going on near the bar. Maybe school friends. Maybe people who had worked there before. Maybe both. They were happy to see one another. They had more interest in their friends than they did in the man trying to fight his dinner for any semblance of enjoyment. The room was trying to be two things. It wanted to be a golf course clubhouse where men could talk about their scores and the price of things. It also wanted to be a working man's place where nobody cared what your score was. It had the look of both. It belonged to neither. Outside, the last light was leaving the golf course. The fairways went dark first and then the trees. A cart moved slowly across the distance with its lights on. Inside, the reunion was still going on. I stood for a moment and watched the cart disappear into the dark. Then I went to the car. There are good evenings on a golf course. This experience felt more akin to a bad night at an Applebees. read more

It's OK, but it's a little pricey. I think it's because it's associated with a golf course. The waitress was wonderful. The food was so so.

Came highly recommended. Was underwhelming. Also a very strong MAGA vibe. The same 125 yo dude eyeballed me at least 8 times. Not BIPOC friendly. Service was pretty good. Food not cooked to temp. Sausage patties from McDonald's are better. If the service wasn't as good as it was it'd be zero stars. read more

Every time my wife and I go here it's always amazing. The food is great, the atmosphere is great, the service is great. This time we went and our server SEEMED to only be interested in bachelors. Looking as though she was flirting with gentlemen at the bar while walking right past our table numerous times. My receipt has a "percentage rate" for a tip?!? Worst service ever. I love rewarding servers with a generous tip when they work for it. This was laughable. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect, being on a golf course. The interior is warm. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We had the breakfast sandwich with hash browns. Sandwich was average and hash browns were cold. Since I wasn't going to be able to eat all of my meal I didn't bother sending it back. Again staff were friendly and accommodating. read more

Extremely disappointing. The food tasted like it had been sitting around as leftovers for three days. Everything was overcooked, dry, and even burned in places. We spent $140 and definitely did not get anywhere close to the quality we expected for that price. It honestly felt like we paid $140 for old leftovers. Absolutely not worth it. read more

Friendly service and great food! Casual atmosphere with a mixed crowd. Excited to bring a friend here and now she's a fan! Check it out!

Been waiting for over 1/2 hour for an oder of nachos. Over serving a group of people with way too many shots of whiskey. People staggering out to their car. Someone should make sure they don't over serve them. They are all drunk and are a risk to others when they drive home. The restaurant should definitely do better at this. when I questioned the server about the over serving of alcohol, he said they all have golf carts and are driving home anyway. I told him that was no excuse for over serving alcohol. read more

Definitely a place to be if you like the golfing world. Quick bite to eat, reminds me of pub food. Did not like the mixed drinks, martini was watered down and warm. Could be an overall fun place to hangout. However, they have a customer that leaves almost every evening driving too fast peeling out of the parking lot to rev his engine. Disrespectfully annoying and dangerous. Please ask your customer to stop doing that... Thank you read more

I read the reviews before going and should have listened. Yelp is brutally honest, but Google had mixed reviews. So I went. My fettuccine Alfredo was good, but they didn't put the chicken in it that I requested. Nor were we charged for it. Lol so I guess our waitress just forgot... My side Caesar was huge and had bacon on it. Nice surprise there. My date got a mushroom burger and took two bites. "The fries are good." House red wine tasted old. You've been warned. And last but not least... they were playing weird music for a restaurant on a golf course. I didn't mind listening to Incubus and Eminem during dinner, but I feel like other people might? If you don't care what your food tastes like and just want an interesting experience, I say go for it! Otherwise. No. Go somewhere else. Lol read more

Finally tried this place, we had a really nice experience. Our waitress went the extra mile and was very friendly. It's a cute spot, it was a tiny bit noisy but we were sat a little closer to the bar. I had their chicken Marsala fettuccini and I loved it! I want to go back to have it again! We were impressed enough that we will go back. read more

Wow... has this place gone downhill! We decided to sit outside and grab a drink and some food after our round of golf yesterday. BIG Mistake! The only bright side was the terrific young lady trying to tend the bar and also serve food all by herself. The picture attached herein is of what was supposed to be a shot of tequila... barely enough to cover the bottom of the plastic glass. The margarita was just a glass full of ice and some mixer. The pink drink in the picture was supposed to be cosmo for my wife that was just a half full glass of lemonade. We ordered a burger and fries to share that was acceptable, mainly because the fries were done correctly and season nicely. All in all - $46 total so basically a 46 dollar hamburger! Similarly to the course, this place has been managed so poorly for so long that it is in a downward spiral of failure. A great facility that used to be popular with wonderful views and decent food has been run into the ground. The outdoor space was even roped off with yellow tape as if someone had been murdered. What a joke! Avoid at all costs! There are so many better options very close by. read more

One of the most accommodating places to hang out. We never have to wait for a table, even on an Easter sunday afternoon. I love sitting in the sun, watching the golfers with my family and my dogs. The food is solid bar food. The wings are always filling and my sister in law really loved the flat bread today. Our server was also great and constantly checked in with us. read more

Tonight I tried the Country Fried Steak Dinner. The vegetables were done to perfection. The rest of the meal went downhill from there. First, the dinner was served like warm. There was no way the steak was recently fried and if it was, it sat a while before being served. This was the second meal in a period of 2 weeks I was served like warm food. The food used to be good for bar food. Perhaps, they got a new cook. read more

Don't waste your time or money. This "restaurant" doesn't deserve either Food is badly cooked, service is non existent and management is oblivious to the needs of their customer. read more

Julia B was an amazing server. I meet mid-state with my mom often so we take some time chatting. She consistently check on us and made sure we were aware of all the deals and had what we needed. Thank you! read more

Okay So they are local but they kind of suck. I had to call tonight about a bill. I left a $10 Plus a tip on one of the two Tickets. Seriously, are you worth a $17 tip on a $60 ticket?. Yes, if you would have not been playing with your manager. Sorry but that's not this the way it works, You're making a decent wage, so actually work for it. Stop taking advantage of old people. If you want me to change my rating then do something about it. Yall are, about hanging out with each other instead of about taking care of your patrons. Guess what golf courses have old people deal with it. read more

FireCreek Grill & Ale House - a glass of beer and a shot of whiskey - American Near Me - Olympia, Washington

I was visiting from out of state and this was the closest breakfast place to my airbnb. Decided to give it a shot and was pleasantly surprised despite the reviews. Definitely had the "regulars" vibe so I felt like I was a little out of place. But the bartender/server made a great Bloody Mary and def made me feel like one of the regulars. Took a while to get the check because she was chatting with some people for a while, so if I was a less patient person this might have rubbed me the wrong way. Chicken fried steak was really good. read more

My partner and I had lunch . Service was great , the food was greasy and fatty . I had the mushroom burger with onion rings , my partner the French dip with fries . The bun and the roll from both meals were very greasy !! The burger was sliding off the bun . The onion rings oily . The French dip bun was greasy as well . We both consumed only half of our meals :/ Shortly after we left we had to consume tums . The after taste of the meal was just bad and made us feel not want to eat anything else that day . We will not be returning to order food from this place . read more

This place was recommended to us by chance. My wife and I were going somewhere else and the place was closed until September, and there was a guy standing outside the tanning salon who saw our plight and told us to come check this place out. During lunch you seat yourself so that was a plus for me as I am picky about where I am seated. Our server was very prompt in asking us our drinks and let me tell you what! The beer list was HUGE!!!! Major plus for me as I am a beer snob at heart (of course I ordered a Mac N Jacks on tap). The lunch menu was phenomenal from first glance and I ordered their main burger (the fire creek) simply because it came with a fried egg and jalapeño!!!! As far as the ambience, I can see how it would be intimate if not for the lunch rush, so that was another plus for my wife and I. Over all I give this place a five outta five, and would most definitely come back with my kids next time as it definitely has a family oriented vibe too! I'm soooo glad our first choice went bust and that nice gentleman suggested this place! read more

Mediocre food. Service OK. Feels like a bar atmosphere. With the price to eat out, we will pass on this one.

Love their 2 egg over medium breakfast with sausage patties, hash browns, and an English muffin butter on the side!

What an amazingly big restaurant ... the size blew me away... we were going to a different restaurant and it was closed apo. Arrival so we turned around and came here... I'm actually glad the place I was going to was closed because this restaurant Is awesome... friendly service great options of food I did my review before my food arrived... but I don't think I'll be disappointed... read more

I ordered a western burger side an up charge for onion rings. Gross dirty oil, service slow, they were busy, but oh my goodness. Won't be back I don't think. Not a good thing to say. read more

This is the perfect neighborhood bar. There's a restaurant off to one side and a bar with open seating on the other. The servers are super friendly and helpful and attentive. It gets pretty busy in the early evening on Tuesdays for taco Tuesdays and Wednesdays for their steak special, but somehow I've always been able to grab a seat. If you're there in the earlier times of day, there's the golf clientele of course but in the evening it's locals stopping in for a drink and dinner. It's a nice comfortable place to grab dinner and a drink. Love it. I personally tend to order the cheeseburger with extra pickles with fries. I just love them! They have a pretty vast selection of liquor and local beers too. Mmmm read more

We have been eating here for many years and the last couple of years the food and service has gone downhill. This morning we stopped in for breakfast, no waitress anywhere, no greeter or hostess anywhere. After a few minutes I went in to the kitchen and asked someone if they could get us a waiter, he said they don't have any in the morning anymore andthe bartender was responsible to wait on tables, she came over took our order, the food came up in the kitchen, heard the bell, no sign of bartender even in bar, got tired of our food getting cold so I went into the kitchen myself and got the food, again absolutely no one around, had to go get our own silverware, this place is ridiculous, you've got one bartender serving alcoholics at nine in the morning while restaurant patrons are ignored. They already had eliminated all the experienced waitresses and hired a bunch of kids with no experience who will work for less. This restaurant should go out of business, absolutely terrible! read more

I would like to thank Elise our server for making my husband's date night with him special on Wednesday nights. We look forward to coming here on the day she works. The food here is amazing. I bring family all the time when they come from out of state. read more

This place is racist as hell. The food was mediocre and service was slow. Unless your a "regular" and Caucasian, don't even bother going. I would give it a negative star if possible. read more

Wed steak night never disappoints and if I do want a prime ribeye Fri or sat this is the best quality and bang for the buck. Waitress are always friendly and you can tailor your drinks as they have nice big bar and judge selection. Guess this place is moving up on my list as a staple read more

Went for Breakfast. The place was understaffed and we rarely saw our server. Food was meh. Going to O'Blarneys instead next time.

It's so unfortunate because a "regulars" type restaurant it used to be, turned into a really awful place to go eat after new management. Same terrible service (by a select few servers) and management refuses to make any changes despite several complaints from so many people. Back of house (cooks) still don't abide by food handling safety. No hair nets, no hand washing, no gloves. Just disgusting. Then you express these concerns to management and she takes a random salad off the bill? It's truly crazy being 2 people from the food business, we would never provide this lack of service and this terrible food handling. read more

Had lunch with friends there today. The fried mozzarella sticks were crispy dark, overcooked. The little Caeser Salad was pityfull. 4 pieces of shaved parm, little dressing, finally got more dressing as I was finishing up. The chicken...tiny chopped bits of something over fried, mainly just breading. This is about the 3rd time I have gone for lunch and not had good results. I can get a better salad at Wendys for $7.99. I think our server had to many tables for one person. read more

We came in on a Tuesday morning for breakfast and the service was awesome. Our server (Tammy B) was very friendly, attentive, and informative. This was our first time eating here, so we are far from regulars. Maybe the other review was an off day when things were more busy. There were at least 4-5 tables of customers while we were there. The food was in my opinion very good. I had the chorizo breakfast burrito, while my husband had the regular breakfast burrito. He also like his meal. read more

Get the prime rib, trust me. It was perfect however I did have to send the first one back as I ordered rare- md rare and would have been happy with anything in that range. But the first one I got was well done. The server took it back immediately and fixed it with no problem. The veggie side was ok, mashed potatoes were good and flavorful with a good texture. Good views of the golf course and golfers from the dining area and there is also a outdoor patio if you would like to eat outside. read more

Not somewhere I'd visit again. The food was poor and so was the service. Poor food and poor service leads to a poor experience.

Came here for dinner with five family members. The place is pleasant and comfortable. We sat near the entry and even without a reservation a table for six was immediately put together for us. The food was quite good. I had a New York steak and it was tender and delicious. I had asked for it medium rare and it came more medium. For what it's worth it didn't impact my enjoyment of the meal. The mashed potatoes were plated with an ice cream scoop, a little 'diner' appearing. The vegetable medley was very good. Started with a salad and blue cheese dressing, that was typical and good. I had a nice glass of hearty red wine that went well with the steak. One of our diner's had the fish and chips and really enjoyed it. Now, I have commented on servers in past reviews, but never by name. I am going to break that here. Our server was a woman named Savannah, and after eating in many restaurants around the US and the world, she was outstanding. I was so impressed by her professionalism and personality, with the clear intent to provide exceptional service. She never missed a beat and made the meal ever so nice. I told her this, and I would hope all servers emulate her. All in all this is a place I'd recommend and return. read more

We tried This restaurant for the first time last night and it was not a good experience at all. It's very loud, which is possibly to be expected. The patrons next to us loudly cursed the entire time we were there, F words left & right, comfortably calling people pu$$ies all evening. Then came the food. We ordered two steak, both medium rare. One was Raw in the middle and the other one was medium well. When the waitress set my plate down she tipped it and spilled steak juice all over my white pants. Service was very slow and we will not come here again. The clam chowder tasted like it came from a can. When I called to make a reservation, I was left on hold for at least 15 min. read more

I got the BLT and the clam chowder(the chowder was amazing) My husband got a burger and fries and he said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had. Great service and a cute little lunch/dinner spot! It worked perfect for me to meet him there right after he was done golfing on the course! read more

Heads up, after our last complaint about slow service, we came in today and were refused service because we had made a comment about slow service last time we were in and they remembered us. So if you have a problem with anything, don't say anything because they may refuse you service too. So our family of five that drove from Tumwater just to eat there because it was a neighborhood gave when we used to live over there, now have to go find somewhere else to eat. So I guess keep your comments to yourself. No one can handle any constructive criticism anymore, as the unprofessional management didn't see this as a chance to earn business but take the easy way out. read more
