My friend and I decided to try something new for dinner and drinks. We were welcomed right away by…read morethe bartender Dashawn. He gave us some of the highlights on the menu that we were happy to try. We loved the chicken wings and the jalapeño popper burger. Drinks were also great! This is a friendly bar with great food too!

Wings were good, but the menu said buffalo wings and there was no sauce and no spice. Big salad was…read morevery poor. Brown and wilted greens topped with a 1/4 cup each of chopped celery, raw onion, mushy chopped tomatoes, and coarsely chopped chunks of carrot. Who puts celery and raw onion on a green salad? It's like the chef rummage around in the fridge to find some kind of vegetables to throw on top of yesterday's lettuce. The atmosphere is terrible. We sat outside in the back because it was a nice evening. The area was in the process of being demoed for construction. Torn up broken pieces of lumber everywhere. I remember thinking when I sat down, "Is this a joke? " There were ashtrays on the tables. People smoking cigarettes. I don't even know if that's legal. Then they started a poker game? The clientele was kind of rough looking also. We will not be back.

Been coming here for about 6 years off and on now because it's in the neighborhood…read more Good beer selections, good pours on cocktails, however cocktail consistency varies depending on who's working. The food is my favorite part. I can have a beer anywhere, but the food is actually pretty on point minus the nachos, sad to say. Always overcooked, cheese is hardened and well beyond melted, but a massive portion in size. The sandwiches are amazing, the quesadillas are amazing, have yet to make it there before breakfast ends but I'm betting it's probably pretty good. Staff are friendly, efficient, and do well on checking to make sure you're not waiting too long for service without being too bothersome. It gets a little loud, busy and crowded on nights especially on the weekends, but that's typical bar atmosphere. Patio seating is nice on sunny days like today. 5/5 for a hometown spot in the neighborhood.

Years ago when she ran this bar it was the best in town and she would not let this food to be served. I will go the Huckleberry that she owns with two other steller partners and enjoy their food. The cook should check the soup pot on a regular basis to ensure that the chowder is hot and ensure that the fish is at least 135 degrees and let it warm up to over 140 degrees before serving. Jamie if you still own the Top please look into the kitchen and bring back your great menu.

This Irish pub did something really fun--they feature a pop-up bayou menu with a Cajun chef, and I…read moream truly hoping this turns into a full-on Cajun restaurant one day!! I'm a gumbo girl through and through, and my guy is all about crawfish étouffée, so this was basically made for us. Everything hit the spot in that comforting, rich, "yes, I will need a nap after this" kind of way. And we cannot skip the homemade moon pies--absolutely worth every calorie. No regrets. None. Also, the hurricane drink? Yummy doesn't even cover it. Let's just say it matched the whole vibe perfectly. If this pop-up becomes permanent, I'll be first in line.

We…read morewalked in, found a table right away, and were able to order immediately, which was a nice start to the day. I had the veggie scramble and it was both tasty and filling. Plenty of flavor without feeling too heavy. My friend went with the bagel and schmear and was happy with it too. Service was efficient. Our waitress was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion size. There was a game on in the background, without being too loud or distracting. Solid spot for a relaxed breakfast. I'd come back.

What a great place downtown Tacoma to have a drink and a burger. My bartender's name was Chris. She…read morewas absolutely amazing. Easy to have a conversation with, and she kept on using my name throughout the whole experience which I thought was actually a little gem. I ordered the drunken bacon jam burger, which was absolutely delicious but only problem I did not like was the bottom bun was saturated in juice and absolutely fell apart, which was very hard to handle the burger and very messy. That's why I'm giving it four stars is because the burger bread did not hold up at all. The tots were absolutely on par as well as the cold beverage. I was the only place in the bar at the time of ordering and felt very at home in this nice place. I highly recommend coming out and checking this place out. Definitely meet Chris. She's absolutely phenomenal and she'll make your stay worthwhile.

The bartender was very nice and provided great service, and I loved my foot. I got the steak bites which were a bit more overcooked than I'd like for steak, but they had good flavor and came with the most delicious horseradish dipping sauce. The fries were so crispy and perfect, and I also really loved the spicy aioli the bartender recommended to me as her fave. Overall great meal and experience here!

They did have a beer garden but it was a cold Spring night, so we sat inside. You order at the counter, not a huge fan of that. The place was packed so the line was very long.

I went to this restaurant in Tacoma over the weekend. I had actually passed by many times…read morebefore--the eye-catching signage and overall atmosphere always drew me in. Finally got a chance to try it at noon today, and it was a great experience! Environment: The overall vibe is very American. There were TVs on the walls constantly playing various ball games, like today's playoff game between the Thunder and the Lakers. It was pretty busy on the weekend, especially the outdoor seating area, which was almost full. The building is an old structure dating back to the 1900s. Though it shows its age, it's very clean both inside and out--you can tell the owner really cares. Service: Our waitress was very, very friendly and professional. She gave us great recommendations, always served with a smile, checked in on us during the meal, and refilled our water. Very satisfied! Taste: Pizza: There's a funny little story: supposedly, Marco Polo went to China and saw pies, but didn't know how to wrap the filling inside, so he just put it on top--and thus the pizza was born. Personally, I think this is a myth, or many people have started fantasizing about Marco Polo because they think he was too great. But according to various unearthed historical records in China, Marco Polo never actually went to China. In fact, around 2010, more than 20 scholars organized an event called "Retracing Marco Polo's Route." After completing the journey and comparing it to what Marco Polo himself recorded, most of them concluded that he probably never made it to China. Sorry, I have a strong urge to share--went off on a long tangent about Marco Polo. But the pizza was really delicious. It should be truly fire‑baked, not oven‑baked. The sauce was well‑balanced, and the toppings were generous and fresh. My wife and I ate more than half of it! Salad: The dressing and cheese were very generously applied, and the greens were fresh. Chicken wings: They had a pleasant sweet‑savory taste, just right. Unlike most American restaurants where they're too salty or too sweet, these were perfectly balanced. All the dipping sauces were good. Overall, highly recommended!

Planning a large group breakfast for a room full of Porsche Club auto enthusiasts is no small ask,…read moreyet Urban Elk delivered. We'd organized a club event here, and from the moment we arrived it was clear the venue was ready for us. The dining room is expansive, set against a gorgeous golf course backdrop, and it handled our group comfortably without feeling chaotic or cramped. Breakfast was solid across the board, and the kitchen kept pace well given the volume they were managing--no small thing when you're coordinating that many plates at once. One low point was the bacon--it simply wasn't great. Watching the sausage make its way around the other end of the table, I knew I'd made the wrong call. A special mention goes to Becca, who put in real work coordinating this event on the front end and running the show when we arrived. Her diligence made it all work and sets the tone for everything that follows...and it showed. Service throughout was attentive and the feedback from the group was genuinely positive, and if you know Porsche Club people, is a meaningful endorsement. There's also a large patio we'll try and experience the next time when it's warmer. It looked like a fantastic space for the right weather. We're already planning a return visit, and I'd absolutely recommend Urban Elk if you're looking for a venue that can handle a larger group with care and without the usual friction. Or, if you just want to pop into a decent place with nice people and ample parking.

Not a lot of people showed up, but let me tell you it was a blast. We had the regulars come up and sing, even staff came up and sang. When no one was singing we had dancers on the dance floor. Place was clean, and organized. Staff were amazing. All so kind we had so Much fun with them. Seth and another young lady took care of our orders. Loved the mango Italian soda, and beef quesadilla. Very helpful since we haven't had dinner yet. If I wasn't going to sing I would've tried other items in the menu. I heard they have an all you can eat Sunday brunch!!! One day I hope to drive from Kent Sunday morning to experience that breakfast brunch. Brian thanks for having us. We need more people on the dance floor, and singing your favorite tune! come one come all!

Finally got the chance to come check out the new casino and sample some food. Our first stop was…read morethe new Summit Sports Bar. Things are a little crazy during the COVID phased reopening program, but we didn't let that stop us. There are booths set up at the entries to the building, where they are taking everyone's temperature and assuring you have a mask. If you do not have one they will provide one. Since attendance is currently low, we were able to get a seat immediately. We tried the Tandoori Chicken Skewers and were pretty happy with it. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food came out promptly. The decor is modern, interesting and fun. Everything has that "new casino" vibe to it. I'm looking forward to returning here and trying some more of the menu. I'm holding this one at 3 stars for now. It's a solid choice for good food.

I can't fault it. The food exceeded my expectations…read more It's not fine dining by any means but it's good quality, good flavored food.. very well presented. Super friendly service and social distancing guidelines being adhered to. I ordered 6 wings, 2 flavors (garlic and honey bbq) honey bbq was really delicious. Garlic wasn't as flavored but still nice. We ordered the beer battered mushrooms which were made really well, batter was crispy and not soggy. Bourbon chicken sliders, slight spice, great crunch, nice flavor. Overall, the casino generally is an awesome place to go right now and this sports bar is great.
