    Buffalo chicken tenders and ranch
    Jenn P.

    We really enjoyed dinner. The staff was really kind, and the food came out fast and fresh. Our pretzel and beer cheese appetizer was hot and fresh, and my kids loved the Hangover Burger (ham, egg and American on a burger) and the Hungry Soldier (fully loaded double cheeseburger). We had a choice of fries or tots served in little single serving mini fry baskets - super cute. Our server accidentally ordered us buffalo chicken wings instead of chicken tenders, and he fixed it immediately with no charge - we were able to bring home the wings too. The tenders were huge when they came - we got five and they were like slabs of chicken breast. Very delicious! Bottomless drinks were awesome. It was a bit loud in there, but it is a pub. We will definitely go back!

    Bowl Irish onion soup
    Sarah O.

    Came here after the DuPont bazaar on a Sunday, midday. The restaurant wasn't too busy, maybe 3-4 other tables full in the main dining area. It's your typical pub, the bar side is 21+ only. Ordered Irish onion soup which was pretty good and the corned beef and cabbage. Portion was nice, my cabbage was very peppery which was a bit unexpected but not too bad. The corned beef was nice and tender and had lovely flavor. Services was quite slow and there were only two other tables seated, we did not get refills for our drinks after asking, I think I server got side tracked with other responsibilities. Overall, it was ok, still deciding if this is somewhere I want to try again or not.

    Cowboy burger with the best fries!

    Fantastic food and great service that goes above and beyond. We always sit in the bar. Big TV's and comfy booths, too. Still one of our favorite places to stop between Kent and Vancouver.

    We had a big party and used their private room for our gathering. The food was great, drinks were great (I didn't know you can do other things with Guinness...). Our service was great and very timely, which was contrary to recent reviews. Overall, if I'm in town, I'll come here again!

    Sharks bites and coated fries

    Average service. Small portions. Coated fries with no flare. Nice place and good sports bar ambiance.

    Kay M.

    Food was fantastic! Ambiance was as expected. Server could put a smile on her face. We tried interacting with her several times and I don't think she smiled once. Her lack of checking on us too was an issue I had, it wasn't that busy, so not sure what the issue was, thus why I knocked one star off. Besides the waitress everything else is as we remembered, delicious:) what was exceptionally cool is we found our picture still on your wall from numerous years ago attending a St Patrick Day celebration here with numerous family and friends, boy howdy that was a fun night.

    Garlic parmesan wings 4/5 stars
    Chris C.

    Decided to give this place a try despite the mediocre reviews and the reviews don't lie! The pros, this place has a good vibe / decor and they have a good selection of drinks available at the bar. Our server wasn't very friendly and the happy hour nachos left a lot to the imagination. The nachos looked good but didn't taste all that great. I ordered the garlic and parmesan wings. I would give the wings 4/5 stars. The wings were large and would order them again. Overall, I'd only come back for the beer and wings.

    We were in Olympia for a visit to The Evergreen State College and since we were in town, a stop at…read moreState & Central was mandatory. We've eaten here several times over the years, this was the first time we eat dinner here. Fam. Let me tell you, the very reasonable lunch size portions? They're significantly bigger on the dinner menu. Almost disturbingly so Being able to get a selection of interesting regional beers is always a draw, tonight was no exception. And the pretty good lunch menu is expanded for the dinner hour - as well as the portion sizes being expanded. I ordered the fish and chips, my partner ordered the bar steak (which was New York strip), and her daughter ordered the salmon burger with fries. Because it was a special, we also got a giant order of poutine. Despite being in almost at closing, the service was absolutely spectacular. We very nearly had the place to ourselves, so the overall vibe was very homey and welcoming. As noted, the portions were enormous. I opted to finish my fish at the expense of the chips. My partner wound up with a significant take home portion as did her daughter. Couldn't possibly have been happier about our decision to stop in. Since we seem to have a new Greener in the family, I'm sure that we will be in Olympia significantly more frequently. And frankly, I am pretty happy about that, just based on being able to stop in here on the regular again.

    Besides having a scrumptious menu, the server at lunch today, Cayla, was amazing. She was…read moreattentive, professional and friendly! I had a turkey, bacon, cheese sandwich and fries. I asked her to box up half as I can never eat a whole one. The ambiance is awesome but be sure to wear your hearing aids if you need them. It's a small place and can get hard to hear when its crowded. Overall though, this place rocks!
