With Knapp's and waffle stop across the street Manny's place is waging into a hard market. I am not sure what the aesthetic of this restaurant is trying to be, but if I am really just there for eggs and coffee anyway it does not matter much. The food quality was good, the service was okay but not wonderful, the prices are what I expect in Proctor, which is to say, too high. read more

The service was exceptional and the ambiance was great with TVs and clever artwork/signs. My friend had the chicken fried steak which was well-seasoned and very filling. I had the French toast with eggs + bacon. The French toast was maybe the best I've had with it not being too sweet and using yummy bread. Plan to come back here again! Overall, appreciated the good portions and value. read more

Manny's Place - Delicious French toast (close) and chicken fried steak - Burgers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Good breakfast spot with very good service, diverse menu, and tasty food. It's a good spot for both families and for people looking to watch sports as there are a few TVs and a bar. My friend and I split the burrito and the California omelette. Both were good but not mind blowing, and the portions were kind of small (although I feel I'm so used to being uncomfortably full that when I'm not I feel I didn't have enough food). I sampled our other friend's chicken fried steak and it was REALLLLLLY good. The chorizo sausage crazy was delicious. Pricing was pretty standard. I think next time I'd get the biscuits and gravy because that gravy was so good! read more

Delish! We had the French toast, Monte cristo, and the chicken fried steak. We gorged ourselves. Soooo good! Worth the wait for a table & Service was great! read more

I love eating here. I like best the two round tables that are tucked into the half rounded windows. It is my favorite nook to sit. They have amazing biscuits and gravy with huge cups of delicious Valhalla coffee. The bacon is tasty as well. I've had a few dishes, and they serve some fresh fruit with is always so yummy, I especially love when they have watermelon. I love the way they have the bathroom area set up with pictures of a pug that I would assume belonged to the owner with signs stating that don't care what you are, just wash your hands! (Picture to follow). Great atmosphere and friendly people. I've noticed an older crowd. Go eat here! read more

Manny's Place - Just wash ya hands! - Burgers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We (two of us) went to Manny's Place for breakfast today. I had looked forward to the outing all week. Our waitress was attentive. Although I requested fried eggs extra well done, they were still runny. Other than that, the food was good. We were drinking our second cup of coffee when the owner came to our table and asked us to leave in order to make room for people waiting. We had been there less than one hour. We obliged (mostly out of shock) and made our way to the door. I stopped to let the owner know I'd never been asked to leave a restaurant while I was still drinking my coffee. He was unapologetic and told us people were waiting to get in. Mind you, we had paid $60 (with tip) for 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees. We left and will never return to a place that is run based on quantity and not quality. We love to support small businesses, but clearly this business does not need our support. read more

Dropped in Sunday afternoon brunch at Manny's . Little disappointed that the brunch was only a breakfast menu with mixed drinks. I ordered the SW hash with eggs over easy, Lu ordered the Greek omelette--food was alright but too salty. Service was excellent and the vibe was typically like a noisy diner. We'll probably come again, but wouldn't necessarily highly recommend Manny's. read more

So glad I tried this place! Wonderful food and great service. Quick as well! Breakfast served until closing ! Right in the Proctor District. Large portions! read more

This was a great spot! Kids and adults were delighted with their food. Our server was friendly and attentive.

I really liked Manny's! On occasion I want a hamburger and Steve and I just happened to be in the Proctor Neighborhood where Manny's is and this hankering arose. We ducked in here and were very impressed with their menu! I got their Frisco Burger and Steve got the Manny's Burger. The burgers are great! We also got a side of french fries which were very enjoyable as well! The size of the burgers and the fries are generous and don't take it a surprise that you may need to take some of your meal home with you. They have some craft beer on tap... Manny's beer for sure which I thought was cool (but I don't think the same owners have this restaurant and the brewery). The staff were friendly and enjoyable to deal with! I'm definitely coming back! read more

If you're within a reasonable driving distance of the Proctor district of Tacoma, you've GOT to try this place! (We drove about 25 minutes to get there, and I'd drive farther for how pleased we were with our experience.) They serve breakfast all day; Saturdays and Sundays until they close at 2. Smallish place and there were several parties outside waiting to be seated, but we only waited about 15 minutes. Lunch and dinner items sounded and looked great, but I was so happy with what we ordered, I don't know that I could pass up having it again!! SO GOOD!!! Service was amazing -- we were checked on by our waitress the PERFECT amount of times, and she refilled the creamer dish without being asked. She was personable and very accommodating, sending us home with a sampling of their special syrup so my mom could try it, when I asked if I could have a smidge to-go. Our eggs came fried instead of scrambled, as we'd ordered, but she more than made up for it on our bill and quickly replaced the incorrect item on our plates. The owner or manager checked on us, as well, but never was there the feeling of being rushed or them being overbearing nor of us feeling neglected. My husband and I shared an order of chicken fried steak with chorizo gravy (to die for!!!) and also an order of French toast with a really unique and lovely syrup made in the style of a caramel sauce, or so our waitress said when I asked about it, though it wasn't overly sweet. Supposedly the French toast had "granola" on it, but it definitely wasn't the kind of granola I was expecting. It was more like a fine-grain coconut, without really tasting like coconut. Whatever it was, in combination with the not-too-sweet-but-super-interesting syrup (different than the maple syrup that I think comes with the pancakes), it was delicious enough I wanted to mop up every bite of my thick-cut French toast bread slices in it, but I resisted! Our scrambled eggs were perfectly prepared -- light and fluffy and JUST the right doneness. Their pepper bacon was great and perfectly cooked. Hash browns were nice and crispy and had a rich flavor from "the brown," so I was a little sad I had to split them with my hubby! They serve Valhalla coffee in nice big mugs, not some yucky industrial restaurant service mug made of super-thick indestructible ceramic, though I was kind of surprised they didn't serve a fancier raw sugar or something other than the regular white sugar in a shaker that was partially clumped, but no biggie. I just think it's fun to plop a rock of raw sugar from a serving tray into my coffee, though maybe with Covid that's a thing of the past anyway.... ‍ Both my husband and I had their bloody Mary made with Tito's vodka. Super delicious, especially when I asked for it with a bit of an added Tabasco kick and an extra wedge of lime (small though the lime wedges were). The rim was salted with what tasted to me like a celery salt but was done with bigger crystals than what you'd buy in the spice aisle. I don't know if it's a specialty product or if they make their own or if I was just imagining the flavor, but it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary, and yet I thought it had a different taste than just straight salt. Someone on Yelp raved about the salted rim, so I don't think it's just me.... ‍ We didn't see it in person, but I saw someone post on Yelp a picture of the sign for their single-occupancy, all-inclusive restroom. I'm totally down with supporting businesses that support others!! ‍ We stayed well past closing, as we were doing research on buying a new vacuum, and yet we were never made to feel like we needed to get up and go, even when we suggested we might be in their way for them to clean our table and be able to leave sooner than later. There were other patrons still eating, so I know we weren't specifically holding them up, but we still had water glasses and such our waitress hadn't pulled yet, which could have helped them be that much closer to wrapping up if we hadn't been there. That she assured us we were in no way IN their way reemphasized their dedication to customer service. Several Yelp reviewers had commented on a "Cathy" ("Kathy"?) who had been their server and who had done a phenomenal job, so at the end of our meal, I asked if our waitress's name happened to be Cathy/Kathy. I was surprised when she laughed and said her name was April. I guess the restaurant employs more than one really great employee. April was fabulous and for sure one of the best servers we've had in a long time! I typically leave a gratuity of 20% or so at most sit-down restaurants, but we left something closer to 28% for what we thought was a great experience. We don't go out for breakfast often but, when we do, we'll definitely go back...again and again. AND it's just down the street from Met Market, so THAT'S fun!! Thanks, Manny's!! read more

We went for breakfast on a Friday around 8:00am. I ordered the crab omelette and decaf coffee and my partner ordered the meat omelette. We both enjoyed our food. +good service +large coffee mugs (which is a plus in my book, requiring less frequent refills) +tasty food +extra crispy hash browns (in a great way! Not at all burnt, but a great crunch) +reasonable pricing similar or less than comparable restaurants in the area -not a huge variety--the breakfast menu has a lot of omelettes and a lot of dishes with chorizo (so if you don't eat pork, it limits your options) read more

Manny's Place - Crab omelette $19.99 (the most expensive thing on the breakfast menu by far, but it is stuffed with delicious high-quality lump crab meat) - Burgers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Had to handle business in Tacoma today and came to yelp to find a breakfast restaurant. We randomly chose this one and definitely were pleased with our decision. The server worked the entire restaurant and didn't miss an order. It was quiet and they played old school R&B. Music makes the atmosphere for me. I'm going to venture back down for lunch soon. I order bacon and eggs and my friend had the crab omelette, which was made with fresh crab ! I recommend it. Can we also talk about the inclusion? The restrooms were gender neutral. I love it. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Manny's Place. We honestly drove to Tacoma to try another restaurant but they were closed and we just stumbled across Manny's. It was a busy Sunday so the wait time was long but they made up for that. And the food was worth the wait. I had French toast, my husband had an omelet and tacos. Kids had... kid's food. Lol. And everyone was pleased. Not one complaint. We will be back forsure! read more

Proctor was in need of a good casual diner place, and Manny's Place fits that niche. I was here on a Thursday about 11:30 and it was pretty slow, so our service was fast. It is seat yourself which would be a hassle on busier weekend times- as a warning. I had the surfer scramble with fruit and toast. Boyfriend had the chicken fried steak. We also had coffee. The coffee here isn't anything out of the ordinary diner fare. Boyfriend really enjoyed the CFS, he said it was possibly his top favorite he's had in the area. My scramble was also good. The veggies were well cooked, nothing fancy. The salsa was actually much better than I assumed it would be and seemed fresh rather than store bought. Prices were very reasonable for what we got, and we will probably be back. read more

Who doesn't LOVE a good breakfast! This is a great spot for breakfast or brunch, food was served hot, and the menu is simple and flavorful. I feel like I got cheated on my mimosa (glass was half full). Definitely will return to check out the dinner options! read more

The arrival of a new diner is always a reason to celebrate. But the arrival of a new diner in a neighborhood that really needed one - and one that serves breakfast all day, no less - warrants balloons and confetti. I've dined three times at Manny's Place in the last three weeks and I fully expect to make it a weekly habit for many moons to come. What's not to like? Fresh and tasty food at reasonable prices, a relatively small but reasonable menu that covers all the bases, and prompt and friendly service in a newly renovated space. Plus there's a full bar with beer on tap as well. Hungry in the Proctor district? Stop in for a meal. I bet you'll add this sweet little place to your regular restaurant rotation. read more

A amazing food all 6 of my fam ate really quickly and the food is amazing dec service is quick and very nice

Fantastic, playful decor (love the social distancing penguins), and clean. In the future I think it would be fun to have them available for people who want to eat alone yet have a "being there" I've seen this is done at some cafés in Korea. Seated promptly, by friendly, polite, and professional staff. The meal started off perfectly when my water came with a paper straw! I had a fire cracker burger. One of the best burgers I've ever had, and I've had many complex flavors that exploded in my mouth (sorry children ;)) The blueberry pancakes were the ultimate comfort food, so tasty. Cheers to the amazing cook! Anytime I'm near Tacoma I'll be here. read more

Manny's Place is a great find. Manny's Place is the perfect low-key-yet-hip spot for an excellent meal with wonderful service on a Saturday night. We arrived at M's Place and were greeted right away. Most tables were occupied and the bar had some smiley-patrons enjoying their libations. The place was very clean and the decor is cool. Both of our pretty servers were very nice, accommodating, attentive and friendly. The chef offered suggestion too when asked. Our food; hot; plenty and very very good. From fish tacos to custom burgers and fries and blueberry pancakes to biscuits and gravy with a side of fruit. We ate a variety off the menu, all of our choice yummmm. We will be back but would like to keep this place a bit of a secret. It won't be for long. read more

Very expensive for not too much food, I wouldn't say it's much better than a Denny's or IHOP. The sausage they use is weird too, Italian dinner sausage does not go in omelets or breakfast food in general. Menu prices are also wrong, kids menu is $2 more than stated on menu not worth arguing over though. I was going to get a pint but they are $9? Crazy. read more

I've eaten here a few times now and have ordered a different breakfast each time. Every breakfast so far has been great however, today's breakfast was incredible! I ordered the Manny's Omelet which has lots of grilled steak, swiss cheese, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and a mild salsa sauce. One of the most flavorful omelets I've ever had! Highly recommend! It came with real crispy hashbrowns and your choice of toast. I chose sourdough. Also, the toast is not that skinny Wonderbread kind of toast but a thick "texas toast" kinda toast. So good! Its not a big place so there might be a wait but it's definitely worth the wait. So far I've only had to wait once and it was for around 15 minutes. The staff are very friendly and there seems to be a lot of diners that eat there regularly so the whole atmosphere is nice. ​ read more

I said i was coming back for lunch or dinner but the syrup on the French toast called my name. I didn't take pictures of the food once I opened boxes it must've fallen on the floor because it was gone. Ordered takeout. Chicken Fried Steak, Surfer Scramble w egg whites, and French toast. Staff super nice and those penguins must have a frequent flier card because they were stilll there taking space and keeping all the humans socially distanced. read more

Visiting the area and tried so hard to find a breakfast place in the middle of the week. After a couple of false starts going to places that didn't meet our vision for a nice breakfast (one in a Harley Davidson store and a coffee counter in an office building) we drove to Manny's outside of old Tacoma. I am so glad we did! The breakfast was delicious and service was friendly. I got the California scramble with the crispiest hash browns and the best whole wheat toast I've ever had! I was a member of the clean plate club on this day which is highly unusual for me. My husband got the blueberry pancakes with eggs and bacon, perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. Also got decaf coffee, pretty darn good! Highly recommend this place. As an aside, it's located on a cute street with a couple of shops worth perusing. read more

I'm obsessed with the French toast. Love the ambiance. Great location. Highly recommend.

Went for breakfast on a weekday with my wife. Service was great, we were seated immediately, coffee was hot, and food arrived to the table quickly. I ordered the Surfer Scramble, which is full of veggies and a healthier option, while my wife ordered the blueberry pancake breakfast. Both meals were good. This is our second time eating here, and have been pleased on both occasions. The food is nothing mind-blowing, but if you're looking for a reliable spot for breakfast or brunch with friendly staff and quick service, this is a good option! read more

This place is truly legit. Located on a main street with lots of great little small businesses. The restaurant is right in the middle of the block. Service was better than some 5 star high end restaurants. Food was absolutely delicious. Arrived fast and exceeded expectations and it was busy that morning. I asked for my toast to be dark and for the first time a restaurant got it right. Looking forward to going back for other meals. read more

Delicious breakfast! We were on our way to a different breakfast spot, saw Manny's, and decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did. The atmosphere isn't super cozy, the lighting and furniture are a bit sterile. The owner really likes those clever quotes. Quotes quotes everywhere. The food was very good. I had the fajita omelette, which was super flavorful. A definite order again. If you like Tex-Mex breakfast, it's a must-order. I heard the chorizo scramble being recommended as well. My husband got the chicken fried steak. It comes with a choice of different gravies! My husband picked the chorizo gravy. Yum! My daughter had the kids' menu pancake breakfast. For $5.99 she got scrambled eggs, a sausage link, and a gigantic pancake. A real hit with our little one! Service was good, too. 100% would come back. read more
