Last time it was bleeding and this time it was nearly burned so take your pick.... The country fried steaks are huge and they are good. We ran into problems with the mashed potatoes though in that we were told they were out and it would be another 20 minutes. Well 5 minutes later here come the plates. We were surprised obviously. However, the mashed potatoes were cold and a little on the runny side. That was pretty poor. What did they do ... just add milk to stretch what they had? No idea but everything went back in the microwave. I'm thinking this is it. No more. The good thing is that there is a lot of competition out there.

I ordered the Beaver Dam with cheddar and mozzarella for pickup. When I stopped in to grab it I got a chance to look around and this place has a fun, neighborhood vibe with a bar, seating and games like pool and darts that make it seem like a good hangout spot. The food was excellent. No frills, just tasty. The bread was perfectly toasted, the cheese was gooey and satisfying, and every bite hit the spot. After so many disappointing meals on the road, I was refreshed to have something so simple that was so well executed. It was exactly what I wanted. I found myself slowing down just so that I could savor every bite and by the time I finished I was seriously considering going back for another sandwich. If that doesn't tell you how good it was. I don't know what will. They absolutely nailed it and if I lived in the area, I would be here all the time. If you're looking for some good simple comfort food at a welcoming local spot, this is the place.

It was a Saturday evening about 6:00 pm so we knew we might get caught in a crowd and were prepared to wait. I was impressed with our server and the different menu options she shared with us. We each ordered a simple cup of soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. (see pics) The vibe was great with darts, shuffleboard and a DJ setting up for karaoke night. How fun! Here's where it went downhill. We waited over 20 minutes to get our food, we never were asked if we needed anything else or if our food was good ( or correct) and our water and ice tea glasses were never refilled. Now I realize that our very nice server was busy, but she passed our table SEVERAL times without saying a word. As for our food, my chicken noodle soup had way too much pepper in it and my husband's tomato bisque was too spicy. (& he likes it spicy!!). Also, I ordered cheddar cheese not swiss cheese for my grilled cheese sandwich. I eventually decided to eat it since I was hungry and knew that I'd have to wait even longer if I returned it. This is our second visit here and sadly the service wait time then (about 6 months ago) was also "forgettable" All and all, if you are going to hang out and party with your friends, I would say GO! But if you want to go and get a meal, be prepared to be patient and allow A LOT of time.

The food is delicious and the owner/cook is a pleasant lady. The bartender (I think her name is Laurie) is an unpleasant, unwelcoming, vile little human. We've Ben in there maybe ten times. The first few times we thought she was just having a bad day. But we've come to realize, after watching her complain about customers to other people when they leave, that she must be a miserable person by nature. Tonight took the cake. We came in because it was my birthday. I was looking forward to my favorite BLT. She was a complete nightmare. Extremely rude. Pro tip: if your serving people, smile and be pleasant. Quit looking like you just ate a shit sandwich. We will never be back. And thanks for the tall vodka cran which was all cran with a drip of vodka. You rock! Also, you shouldn't talk shit about your fellow employees out load. It makes you look like more of a bitch, if that's even possible. Extremely uncomfortable experience. read more

This place used to be a great dive bar that was very popular with greasy Bikers like me. In recent…read moreyears they have upscaled the place quite a bit. New owners? Interstate still has that "dive bar" vibe but the food has really improved there. Staff has always been great and they still are. They now have roped off sidewalk seating and overflow parking across the street. They are seriously pricey now, especially considering how blue collar Rainier is. But the food is quite good and the portions are generous so that is just an observation, not a complaint. More or less the same "low brow" clientele although you don't see motorcycles parked out front any more so I don't know if they are still Biker friendly or not. I tend to mind my own business so the venue is still fine as far as I am concerned. There are "divier" dive bars in Rainier and at least one more upscale restaurant in town. Actually, Rainier is one of my favorite stopping points when coming back from Astoria because there are so many good places to eat here. You certainly won't regret checking this place out.

Lots of food and was able to take half of it home. 3.5/5. The pulled pork was pretty solid, 4/5. The least favorite was the rice bowl, not bad but also wasn't all that great, 2.5/5. We tried the huckleberry and raspberry lemonades. Both were decent but nothing to write home about. If I had to guess I would say it was Minute Maid lemonade with bar syrups. 3.5/5 Overall, definitely a sold spot for classic bar food! The people were nice and there was a decent amount of seating with lots of tables for more than 4 people. The menu was huge so I would be interested in stopping by again to try something else out!
