I've been going to McFilers since it open about 10 years ago. I really enjoy the atmosphere. I love the long tables family style. And I absolutely love the wings. They're the best wings I think I've ever had period.... Went in there recently and saw a couple new girls work in, they were very friendly and inviting. I really enjoyed their chit chat. + They were on top of everything. Great service and great customer service. read more

Stopped here for the pizza. Was greeted by no one. Went to the bar and was told that the server would be right with us. Looking around, multiple tables were in need of bussing. Waited 15 minutes and no service. Left for a different restaurant. Sadly we won't be trying the pizza. read more

Two old people, a lesbian, a Mexican and a pastor walked into the bar.... Sounds like a joke but that's our unique and fun family. Wish I could tell you more about the place but after sitting there in the pretty dead establishment for 10 minutes and not greeted once and feeling unwelcome, we left. 5 people ordering food and drinks would have been a hefty check but I guess they didn't want our business. read more

Janky dive bar that is awesome. If I recall they do serve some food, but we did not order anything. Go get your drunk on! read more

They are under new ownership now. Food was good and service was great. My husband and I were two of the three in the place, so... They are keeping a lot of the things the same such as weekly specials and tons of fun wing sauces. HOWEVER, that awesome drink menu is gone. It was the one thing to me that separated it from every other tavern between Vancouver and Kent. Bummer read more

So disappointed....hadn't eaten here in a while. The french/prime rib dip was my favorite....I always recommended them to everyone as they HAD the best one I'd ever had! Not anymore...barely any meat on it...and what was there was hard around some edges....just overall disappointing . Won't be back or recommending anymore. read more

Absolutely wonderful surprise !!' Great tasting steak salad, our party was served perfectly Large portions at reasonable prices We will be back ! Thanks read more

A group of us are in town for work for a few months and we come here every Wednesday for wing night. The wings and beer are amazing, and the staff is the best. They are very on top of prepping to serve our size of group (8+ people) on top of everyone else in the restaurant. I'd recommend to anyone passing through or staying in town! read more

Food was piss poor. Service was worse. Everything came out cold and greasy. It took half an hour to get a beer. Some staff didn't know what was on tap or available. Use to love this place and come here regularly for steak night etc. will not come again. 2 hour from order to meal. read more

Passing thru on my way from LA to Seattle found this place on yelp. The ambiance is definitely of a local bar that people might stop to have a drink after a hard day of work. I even had to ask if it was ok if kids can come in, they said yes. The waitress suggested the peanut butter burger with bacon added. My husband, sister and I all ordered it and we were all very pleased, so much so we even came by again on our trip back home. It was a great find! So don't judge a book by the cover, or you'll miss out on great food. read more

Holy cow it was SO good! Very large portions. Service outstanding! Definitely will come back.

Loud. Burnt food. Not good at all. Local joint that gets local love but shouldn't be more than that.

You get what you pay for here! It may be a little higher than some places, but, wow do you get great food and plenty of it! Family friendly! Very laid back and great staff! Recommended; Club Sandwich, Soup, Steak Night, Chef Salad, Cheesecake, Onion Rings, French Dip, Fries, Hamburger, and Tater Tots! They are very kid friendly although it has a bar and even a Tuesday night trivia game at 6pm. There is parking along the streets well within walking and a parking lot out back, all free. read more

Me and the family have been getting in on their daily deals. Burger/sliders for a buck well worth it, fed my big family for 50 bucks. The steak is in my opinion best in Lewis county. Way better than others I've had in Lewis county. Very solid place. read more

We have been here several times since covid and deeply appreciate this place. Today we came for lunch and couldn't be happier. The bar is constantly being cleaned. The entire staff is masked and stay that way. Tables are set up to ensure they follow the state health guidelines and the staff is amazing. Their menu Isn't expansive but it sure is tasty. And seriously the club sandwich I had today will literally feed me for 2 days. I had to cut it into 8ths just to get my big ass mouth around it. Thursday nights are steak nights, Tuesday night we plan on coming for your trivia night. This place has gone outta their way to work with the current mandates and I deeply appreciate their attention to detail. GREAT FOOD. GOOD PEOPLE. read more

McFilers - The most gigantic club sandwich on rye. Hot fries and a drink while watching the hawks. - Music Venues Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

Good burger and Reuben sandwich. Service was a little slow considering we were the only people there. Little on dark side.

Stopped here based on the reviews while passing through. There was only 1 other table and our food still took an hour. While our server was nice he was by himself. I don't mind paying $21 for a burger but the PB burger was terrible. The patty was so small and overcooked to the point of barely being edible. There was also no cheese on our club sandwich. He also forgot to bring another round of drinks after several requests. Not sure I'll give this place a second shot. read more

This was our first visit, wanted to grab a drink and quick bite on way home from Tacoma. I had the cheesesteak and a salad and they were both amazing. The hubby had the mushroom swiss burger and he said it was great as well. Great food and service. We will definitely be back. read more

Love this place! Zane was behind the bar- and lucky us! We had the Old Irish (Irish Whiskey Old- fashioned) which was perfect! We paired our drinks with some Mac n cheese bites - yeah! I know, it's primitive, but it was really good, and so was the service! Word on the street was that the corned beef and cabbage yesterday was killer. I'll be back for real food when I have more time! Come in on Tuesday- they offer a "Tour Tuesday" menu featuring food from around the globe. I can wait to try it! Cool hang! read more

Unexpectedly delicious steak night! We found this spot while looking for somewhere to eat on the way to Portland that wasn't some crappy fast food chain, and McFilers was the only place serving real food that was open, so we gave it a shot and we were not disappointed! The open mic night was entertaining and the gentleman behind the bar (who also grilled the steaks) was a charming mixologist. Will definitely be back. read more

Tacho's alot of taco topping and taste great. Big enough to share. Tater tots fried nice and crispy. read more

McFilers - Tacho's. Tater tots with meat, liquid cheese( a little spicy) lettuce, black beans, onions, tomatoes, olives. Sour cream and salsa. - Music Venues Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

Very accommodating staff and a nice small town dive atmosphere. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for fried food and cold beer. read more

Amazing food and service! So sad we couldn't stay for Tuesday trivia but will definitely come back another time. Dark atmosphere but loved the ambiance and feel of the bar. And it's kid friendly too read more

We stopped here while driving home from Portland, and it was excellent! Food was great and the staff was friendly. The fried oysters were fresh and came with hand cut fries. Also, family friendly! Kids are welcome :). read more

Be careful you might drive right past McFilers and you will be missing out on some of the best food in Chehalis. Seek and find this upcoming location for some good grub. While you can't go wrong with tater tots and other great pub grub, it is the Alfredo pasta that you are after. Perfectly cooked pasta topped with a decadent, rich, perfectly made alfredo sauce. Friday nights you can get the seafood version or Saturday for "all you can eat pasta" you have chicken or prawn options (I keep hoping for a steak option). The dish comes with salad which is always fresh and the homemade blue cheese dressing is a must have; hands down my favorite. McFilers also has some specialty burgers that receive rave reviews; I know, I know...peanut butter on a burger sounds weird, but it is carefully crafted and a must try. If you are in to any kind of vodka drop style drink, ask Zane to make you a blueberry sidecare. It is delish! For such a small kitchen the cooks back there are rockin it and five stars could easily be obtained with some more seasoning to the specialty dishes and their proteins. We will surely return! read more

McFilers - Seafood (prawns and scallops) Alfredo Pasta. Comes with salad and garlic toast. - Music Venues Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

We had been to McFiler's a handful of times, each trip declining in quality and service. The food is decent, but when we go out we look for stellar service. This place consistently under delivers. Sadly this morning's breakfast was our last trip. The couple next to us had been there before us, had waited 45 minutes when I asked them on their breakfast order; our order a full hour before receiving. NOT OK. Please note there were only six tables that had diners. No check back on how our breakfast was, had to go up to the bar to ask for a box and our check. NOT OK. I am a true believer in supporting small and local business, and very sad that I'm having to write this type of review. read more

We came here as a group with some fellow wrestling families and would not recommend as a kid or family friendly place. Waiter was rude, kids didn't get the food they ordered and had to walk up to bar after half an hour to order water and drinks. Might be ok if no kids or whatever but thumbs down from us. read more

This was a surprise hidden gem in part of town we found not so inviting service was excellent food great wood go again, read more

SO OVERRATED! Not my best or close to my best experience. The Vodka Martini I ordered barely had a taste of Vodka, the BLT I ordered, now I ask you, how can you mess up a BLT? Bread over toasted, too much lettuce, one slice of tomato, and only two slices of bacon all for $11. Highway robbery at best. Was with a party of 24 and you'd think they could handle it after the owner gloated on a local radio show. Not even! NOT RECOMMENDED! read more

I use to love McFilers wings but recently they have been way more fatty and not as much flavor. I miss when they were super crispy and had sauce on them that covered it and not just on one side. Sad because this use to be my favorite spot to get wings. read more

Great food, great price, cold beer. Staff was attentive and friendly. Will stop again when in Southwest Washington.

We got a gift card for this restaurant. We thought we'd treat ourselves to the Ribeye. The menu says ribeye steak, baked potato and salad for $31. When the server took our order we were informed that the baked potato is only available with the ribeye dinner on Mondays and Thursdays. This was not stated on the menu. She said We could substitute with soup or A different side like french fries, Jojos or onion rings. Steve ordered the tomato soup and I ordered the JoJos. The dinner salads were all good with the exception of the cucumbers which were borderline. my ranch dressing was thick and a little chunky which was weird for ranch, It tasted OK though. The steaks were both cooked really well and tasted great. When the check came we were charged $4 for the tomato soup and $3 for the the JoJos. We asked about being charged for them and she just said "oh yeah it's extra for those things (like yeah )". Ok...so, Total $80. I gave her the code for the gift card which was for $75 and she comes back and says that covered it and there is no balance. So if you're interested in having a great steak, a pretty good salad and good service and willing to deal with an inaccurate menu and staff that may or may not confuse or be confused, this is the place for you! read more

I see these five star reviews and it makes me sad that I did t share the same experience as the others. This was my second visit to McFilers. On both occasions the bartender with the mohawk (I don't know his name). The first time we went we requested a drink he wasn't familiar with, which is fine since they're super easy to make. He came across very displeased about us still wanting them. All it was was Coors Light, OJ, and a splash of Amaretto. So much attitude from the opposite side of the bar made it an uncomfortable experience. The second time we decided to try them out, last night, was basically the same thing. Except this time, after sitting at the bar, making eye contact and being completely ignored. Not great. Maybe I just have a bad resting bitch face that makes him not like me, I'm not sure. What I do know is that we most likely won't be back. Edit 5/13/19: Edit: At first my review was only about bad service. Now, it's about business practice on top of bad service. I think many people leave negative reviews for businesses not to be malicious, but to offer constructive criticism of complaints people may have. Instead of using my "One Star" review as that, a representative of this business decided the best move was to go to Facebook and post a screenshot of my picture, with a derogatory message. Out of courtesy, I have blocked out their face and name on their post, that I have included in my review. I would like to see this business thrive in our small community. However, with impulsive people, such as this individual, responding to complaints with nothing but hate and vulgarity, that seems unlikely. read more

McFilers - A response to my "one star" review. - Music Venues Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

I've been here a few times, and I'm never not impressed. The Peanut Butter Burger is a revelation, and I've never had a BLT with a better ratio than the one I ordered at McFiler's. The staff is incredible as well. They're doing it right. 5/5, will dine again. read more

This place is amazing! It was very welcoming we went with a big group 6 adults 2 kids and a baby. They were serving breakfast/brunch and the servers were very nice and accommodating to all of our needs. The food came out all at the same time and all hot! The bloody Mary's were very very tasty too. The decor is very hip and clean and it looks like the place could have some serious potential to host some great music events. Can't wait to go back without the kids and have some adult fun. read more

This place is a very well needed addition to our community. It is very clean and professional bar, serving food that is above the local standard at a reasonable price. They are bringing live music for us rockers who have been neglected in this county. They are brand new, they will be even better with time. read more
