    I absolutely loved the thick-crust Sicilian pizza! I ordered the 16-inch square BBQ chicken pizza,…read moreand the ratio of sauce to dough was perfect. Although there could have been a little more chicken, all the flavors were well-balanced and worked beautifully together. I especially enjoyed the addition of feta. The crust had an amazing sourdough flavor. I love that they use such an old sourdough starter and follow a five-day process--it really shows in the taste and texture. The pizza is also a great size and could easily feed four hungry people, or up to six people with smaller appetites. I visited on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes for my takeout order, but that was understandable since the pizzas are made to order. The cashier was very friendly while taking my order. My boyfriend and I had our dog with us, so we brought the pizza to a nearby park with a gazebo and table, where we enjoyed a beautiful water view. The restaurant is conveniently located near the entrance to the Kingston ferry. It's no surprise that the chef has received awards for his pizza. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return specifically for trying his other pizzas!

    Really poor service experience. I've seen the owner on socials so I approached him and explained…read morethat my husband's meal had come out, and was finished, and no sign of mine. He then explained that pizzas take longer etc. Not a problem, but then the pizza that comes out eventually is burned and not correct so the pizza maker told the server that he wanted to remake it.....but she knew how long we had been waiting, it was 65min at this point (lunch hour). I said to just box it up. Owner talked to the server, never came over to apologize or say anything. Didn't discount the poorly made pizza. Would have felt so much better had he just acknowledged our experience could have been better. Won't be making the drive again

Steve got a chicken sandwich that was good. I got a hamburger with kimchi. It was excellent but I forgot the name of the burger. I saw a pork sandwich option on the menu that had kimchi but that wasn't the same thing... so just read the menu carefully if what I had sounds good. There are lots of options to pick from so take your time. We also split an order of French Fries which were great! For our sweet tooth we got an Amaretto Milkshake and it was excellent! We really enjoyed this one! It was non-alcoholic and we got this particular one because this was a flavor one doesn't usually associate with milkshake options. We are so glad that we got to try it! The Grub Hut is very, very popular or at least it was when we were there and there was a small line to place our order, very little room to sit and the wait time to get our food was about 25 minutes. We didn't think that was too bad and we thought it was "johnny on the spot" timing at work to tell us that at the time that the order was placed. And I suppose they have it down to an art and need to give out times like this as this restaurant is right by the ferry terminal and Kingston so I imagine a lot of people who are using the ferry need that kind of information to plan accordingly with their meals and arrival/departure times with the ferry.

    A Michelin-star worthy food truck in humble Kingston, helmed by a chef who leans into her deep…read moreintuitive knowledge of cultural food traditions such as her own, Ukrainian, where fermentation is a common practice. Take the humble grain bowl using Ukrainian buckwheat "Kasha" with fermented vegetables. With the expert "curing" of the vegetables evident by taste, and glazed with a lovely nutty sauce, it is both simple, and yet profound. Similarly a recent soup of tomatillo and zuchini, cut by black beans, corn, and tortilla strips both tasted familiarly Mexican, but also stretched the palate and feel healthy like all traditional foods. Menu standards like the fermented "kimchi waffle fries", are fun to eat, but each week she introduces exciting and ecclectic plates - once "rabbit" was on the menu. This is exceptional food, but not in the rarefied, experimental way of expensive haute cuisines, rather they draw on deep cultural food traditions. The range of flavors is much more sophisticated and pleasing to my palate than anything else I have tasted across Kitsap county. The sauer kraut chocolate cake? wow. The fermented hot sauces? Delicious. The gyro plate with smoked beet baba-ganoush, and the adjika (Georgian savory herb) sauerkraut layered with tzatziki is a virtual Berlin nightclub party in the mouth. You can pair the food with exquisite house fermented kvass or kombuchas. I highly recommend the "linden blossom" one which is a traditional Ukrainian taste. The chef's sure hand embraces cooking techniques and spice combinations from not only the well-known Asian, Indian, Mexican and Mediterranean spectrum, but also extends to the more unusual such as The Republic of Georgia --one of the world's oldest wine producers and known for its incredible cuisine and food culture at the cross roads of central Asia and eastern Europe. My only sadness is their limited opening hours from Wednesday to Saturday and only until 7:00 pm. This food truck is worth traveling the ferry to Kingston from the east Puget Sound.

We had seen it for a long time and been meaning to try, but being workers with a long commute, the early closing time + limited schedule just didn't work for us. When we did get to go, the $20 salads just did not satisfy. Dinner for two rang at about $65 and all and it's just really too high a price for what you get, especially from a food truck. This place is very heavy on the legumes of all kinds, and on pickled and fermented goods. It's really their "thing". This ranges from the more typical (pickled veggies, kombucha, kimchi) to the really odd (sauerkraut chocolate cake, and such). There were Eastern European dishes, which was cool. Others were Mediterranean. So, a bit all over the place. If you are not a fan of pickled and fermented things, I'd suggest that you pass, because there's nothing on the menu for you!

The quality of their nuts and snacks (cookies and Cracker Jacks are to die for!) are outstanding -- everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help with recommendations. I always love seeing locals bring in their own jars and fill them up to the rim with freshly made butters. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack, gifts, or stocking up on favorites, CB Nuts never disappoints. Their roasted nuts are especially incredible and easily some of the best we've ever had. You can really tell they take pride in what they do given how small scale they keep it. We love it so much we have been back twice in a month. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Kingston -- five stars all the way!

    Well worth a visit!! Our friend recommended stopping by on our road trip and I am so glad we did…read more These nut butters are sold in premade packages or can be created fresh from these machines. I bought several products including the chocolate peanut butter, dark roasted peanut butter, roasted nut mix, spicy honey roasted peanuts. We already finished half of our stock and I am already checking out their online inventory, or planning a trip back. The employee on site was friendly, and shop was casual. You can also buy nuts in bulk as well.
