    Best place for breakfast. Local joint with large portions and very good service. Small family owned business.

    Chicken fried steak whole order.

    Great fast and friendly service. (I believe server was named Sierra). Food was fantastic and came quickly. Best chicken fried steak I've ever had and I've had many. Perfectly crispy hash browns and yummy biscuit. The "whole" chicken fried steak is two pieces so go for the half unless you are sharing or wanting leftovers.

    The clam chowder came in a giant bowl and was really good! The sample of Vegetable Beef stew was amazing!!

    Sometimes in our travels we find a place we wish we could go to over and over again. Kelley's is one of those places! Service, food, prices and vibe were all over the top amazing! Please don't let the outside fool you, the inside is where all the magic is! From the very beginning it was obvious they are true and authentic! The lone server was busy with other customers so we were greeted by the cook! He was so friendly and inviting, told us to grab a seat and they'd bring us waters, menus were at the table. Giant menus!! Our server came in and was just as friendly and inviting as the cook! We felt at home right away, like we'd been there 100 times! Food was fantastic! I had the seafood platter and it was piled high with vein clogging goodness! The shrimp was the best part, these cute little crunchy, puffy morsels of heaven!! Hubby's chicken fried steak was humongous and he said it was the best he's ever had! We got strawberry shortcake to go and it was perfect later, sitting around the camp fire! I highly recommend Kelley's and know for a fact we'll be back! Hard to find a diner like this anymore!

    Orders breakfast to go while heading to a youth sporting event. Served raw eggs in a minced ham scramble. Basically cooked one side then flipped the uncooked side over a bed of unseasoned hash-browns. Ended up eating part of my husband bland chicken fried steak that was paired with overcooked eggs.

    I don't think they should legally be allowed to call this food. This is made worse by the fact that there are several cafes nearby that serve actual meals.

    We were bringing a special breakfast to family in the area & called an order in when we reached the outskirts of Olympia. It was ready shortly after we pulled up - having to wait only an additional 5 mins. The food was well packaged in to go containers. We had a great conversation with the cook (whose also one of the owners) since it was still early but the waitress pulled up to take my payment. We drive to our destination and had a wonderful filling breakfast. The portions were gigantic, the garbage omelet was flavorful, the gravy of the SOS was spot on. Would highly recommend ordering from this cafe.

    Eggs Benny and chicken fried steak were a hit

    Not fancy but food was great. We were flew in from California and on the way back from a wedding in Mt Rainer we stopped in for breakfast. Service was nice and quick. The breakfast was delicious and portions huge. Contrary to what we read in other reviews there was nothing that made us feel uncomfortable or unwelcome.

Without a doubt this is one of Tacoma's best dining experiences. Chef Shawn's team is small but mighty. The staff that we encountered were all super kind and attentive. It's widely known that Chef Shawn has a radiant personality and treats everybody in his restaurant like a longtime friend. He walked around chatting with everybody personally, showed off dishes as he walked through the restaurant, and was even happy to let diners take a peek at his kitchen (how does he make all this magic happen on TWO CAMP STOVES?!) The menu isn't massive, but everything on the menu is executed with precision and grace. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted but I've had my eyes on the Lobster Bomb for years. My husband got the "Tiny Burrito" which is quite literally the size of a newborn. The Lobster Bomb was excellent. Generous chunks of succulent lobster and the hollandaise was perfect! Subtle on the lemon flavor as to not overpower, but still rich and creamy. I tried my husband's burrito and the chorizo gravy is stellar. You could easily share this with 1-2 other people in my opinion. It lasted my husband two leftover meals! The restaurant itself is small but it's cozy and feels like you're at home. No frills, nothing over the top, nothing trendy. Just a relaxed vibe with lots of authentic touches from Chef Shawn. While this was our first visit it definitely won't be our last. Don't make the mistake I did and let years pass by before you experience Tibbitts!

Also, the establishment is in a lovely location a few miles from Mt Ranier NP. Alas neither the service nor food was good. While we didn't wait long for initial service to take our order and to get our wine and salads, the entrees took a while (didn't check my watch to see how long we waited) and the dishes were delivered separately; I had the chicken kebabs (both meat and vegetables were cold). By the time I stopped eating (I ate less than half of my entree), my husband got his entree. He ordered the pork ribs, which were the appropriate temperature and tasted good. As for service, twice we asked another server to get the person waiting on us for water and a second glass of wine for my husband, and to ask for our check. At the beginning of our experience, we saw interesting entrees on the menu for breakfast and thought to return in the next day or so and give them another try. After a disappointing dinner experience, we will not return.

My eggs benedict arrived cold, and the English muffin was so tough that I had to ask for a steak knife just to cut through it. When I mentioned to our server that the meal was cold, she said it was because of the lox. That didn't really explain why the eggs, hollandaise, and English muffin were also cold. She did bring me a replacement, which was actually warm. Unfortunately, the service continued to be disappointing. Our server brought the wrong sides and never apologized or corrected the mistake. She said she would bring out the correct sides, but they never arrived. We were a party of seven, and throughout the meal it felt like our table was an afterthought which is especially frustrating because a 20% gratuity was automatically added. To make matters worse, they brought out a dessert for the birthday that the birthday girl was allergic to even though she had made her gluten allergy known when she initially ordered her meal. Overall, this was a profoundly suck-ass experience. For a roughly $30 entrée, I expected much better food, service, and attention to detail.
