I hate to make things about race but we are Hispanic and it seems as though they stopped what they were doing and were just watching us throughout the store especially the older women. As the man was ringing up our items nothing was said to us just him scanning us paying that's it. I don't recommend this place at all, I would rather driver further out to than feel uncomfortable and unwelcome here.

When I lived in the area, the employees would ask about how me and my family were doing lately. The owner, Brenda, is a really nice person. My dad worked for her for a while. They also have quite a lot of variety in the grocery section for being so small. If I didn't have the time or gas money to get to a bigger store, this place usually had everything I ever needed. At a higher price, usually, but I love to support my local businesses. The coffee they sell here is pretty good, I don't know how they do it but it's about the best gas station coffee I've ever had. It's also way more affordable than getting coffee at Starbucks so that's nice. If I still lived around the area I'd still be doing most of my shopping at Brenda's.

In fact, 99% of the business in Onalaska are known to the locals by the first name of the owners. I had a really hard time classifying this business here in yelp. To the outside world (ie civilization) it just looks like the town gas station. And, for the drive-through Onalaska crowd on their way to more exciting destinations...that's what it is. Brenda's is far more than just a gas station with a mini mart. It is a full service mini grocery store, long term storage rental, the only full service post office in town, the only available ATM in town, and also does full service catering, and peruse the community bulletin board, among other things. You would be hard pressed to ever go to Brenda's and not find what you're looking for, find the parking lot fairly full, guys hanging out on the benches out front chatting it up, and all the employees know the residents by first name. Every time I have stopped by here while visiting, we've been unable to leave in under 20 minutes..because every aisle you turn you run into someone else you know and stop and say hi and catch up on life. If you're a local here, you can even run a tab on your grocery and gas purchases. For those of us just driving through...Brenda's prices on groceries are on par w/ the nearest other stores back 30 some odd miles back near Chehalis and the gas prices are only a few cents higher than back "in town".

I've worked in the food business. I've had a woman SCREAMING at me for a mishap someone else caused and i still stand there smiling and being nice as can be. that's your job. it's called custom service. reminder again.

We were looking for a lunch spot to satisfy 3 different appetites. We noticed they closed within 15 minutes and really hoped they would serve us. We asked as we entered and the young man stayed absolutely! Off the bat the customer service was outstanding, he happily and enthusiastically discussed our menu interest items. We ordered a ham/fig panini, tuna sandwich, veggie wrap and a chocolate almond shake. Each item came with your choice of homemade potato salad, fresh fruit or chips. I chose the homemade potato salad-delicious! Creamy, contained a sweet pickle, mustard/mayo and egg. I ate the whole thing. The fresh fruit on my friend's plate were giant red seedless grapes, don't think I've ever seen them that big, had one and it was firm and tasty! As our meals were delivered the waiter said he would bring our dessert over when we were finished. My friend surprised us with the blueberry bread pudding. It was served heated,it was absolutely delicious. Wow. We hit the jackpot finding this place. What a wonderful cafe to have in this community! I noticed that the other side of the venue was a coffee/smoothie/shake service. All the staff we encountered were friendly, the venue appears to be in an historic building with giant windows that face the street. Highly recommend stopping in!

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!
