The service is always friendly and attentive Ambiance is comfortable and relaxed And the restaurant is clean. They are always busy, which speaks to their excellence. (parties of 6 or more would do well to call ahead, just to be safe) This is a family owned business, and it feels like it. The pride, dedication, and effort that is put in every single day. It is commendable. Being a small business owner is not easy day in and day out, but they make it look easy. Like they say, love what you do, and you will never work a day in your life. I think the folks at Shipwreck truly love what they do. They are always smiling, always have a friendly greeting. We have never had the pleasure of enjoying their dinners, but their lunch and breakfasts are delicious, and you will never leave hungry. They also have a scrumptious dessert cabinet (if you have room! or get a dessert to go. Just a suggestion) They also have a variety of cocktails. Bon Appetit!

I think that if you were to look in the dictionary under hospitality you'd find a picture of the WIP. After my first visit they have called me by my name - my doctor doesn't even do that - he always asks me for my full name and date of birth! For goodness sake! In particular I want to call out Gabby, she is amazing! Always has a smile on her face and her technical skills behind the bar are, bar none, pun intended! Recommend the Wild Irish Pub without reservation! Keep up the great work!

Finally stopped by Pat's on the corner of Pacific and Carpenter, and wow, what a gem!…read more It looks like a little house on the corner, super cute and inviting. I've driven past it for years, always curious, and now I'm kicking myself for not stopping in sooner. Recently, they added Phuket Thai to the mix, which cranked my curiosity up even more. While the economy has definitely tightened how often we eat out, when we do, my fam bam and I make it a point to support small local businesses. And this is one I'm thrilled to shout out to the community. Pat's is open for breakfast and lunch, serving up both classic American fare and Thai dishes, yes, you read that right! The food was absolutely delicious, the Thai coffee was chef's kiss, and the vibe inside? Friendly, clean, spacious, and totally welcoming. We'll definitely be back. Don't sleep on this spot, it's a neighborhood treasure! If you're in the area, stop in and grab a bite and say hi. You won't be disappointed.

Loved Pat's Café for Years -- It's Not the Same Under New Owners…read more Pat's Café was one of my absolute go-to spots for years -- I've been going since around 2005-2006. My mom, grandmother, and I all had our favorites there, especially the stir-fry beef dish and the classic corned beef hash the original owners served straight from the can (cooked just right). It felt like a reliable neighborhood restaurant with solid, consistent American-style dishes. Since the new owners took over, the consistency and quality have slipped badly. Dishes now come out differently almost every time. The Pad Thai toppings are sometimes mixed on top, sometimes served on the side like an afterthought, and extras appear or disappear randomly. It was noticeable but not a deal-breaker on its own. On one visit I ordered the country fried steak. There was a fairly large, hard piece of plastic in the meat. I bit down on it hard enough that it could have easily cut my gums or mouth if I hadn't noticed. I showed it to the server, and the only response I got was that they buy the country fried steaks from a vendor, so it wasn't something they made in-house. No apology, no offer to remake the dish, no discount -- nothing. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and returned for another meal. That next visit (or the one shortly after) became the final straw. I ordered the green curry. Eggplant is a major ingredient that adds essential flavor and texture to every bite -- right alongside your choice of protein (chicken, beef, etc.). I ate several bites before realizing there was none in the entire dish. When I mentioned it, the waitress simply said they had run out. They never disclosed the missing ingredient when I ordered or before serving the dish, and they didn't offer any adjustment, remake, discount, or comp. They just served an incomplete meal and charged full price. The lack of basic customer service on both visits was shocking and felt disrespectful. Finding a foreign object in your food should at minimum get a sincere apology and an offer to make it right. When a key ingredient is missing, the restaurant should let you know upfront so you can decide whether to order something else. On top of that, beloved items have disappeared or changed for the worse. The stir-fry beef my family loved is gone from the menu. The original corned beef hash was replaced with an in-house shredded version that just isn't as good. The place even seems to be going by a second name now (Phuket Thai) alongside Pat's Café, which adds to the confusion. I'm really sad about this because I genuinely loved the old Pat's. The new version just doesn't feel like the same welcoming neighborhood spot anymore. If you never knew the original, you might still find some decent meals, but for longtime fans, the changes -- and especially how both of these situations were handled -- make it hard to recommend. I've stopped going and am now looking for a new regular place. Hope the owners read this and consider bringing back more consistency, better food safety practices, and better communication when ingredients run out.

Great service and great food!…read more Breakfast all day long makes us very happy! Plus, they make a very good mimosa

So we ended up eating here twice during our stay, which I try to never do, but our first experience…read morewas so amazing and delicious, that we actually couldn't wait to go back a second time. Unfortunately, the second time was highly disappointing,between the food and service. I probably should've knocked off more stars, but I'll weigh heavily on the first experience. Different staffing, different experiences. For your sake, if you get the good server who was the sweetest thing on the planet, you'll be so happy and leave feeling like neighbors. If you get the good chef in the kitchen, you'll leave stuffed and super satisfied! We all cleaned our plates. If you arrive and it's a sunny day, they have a few options out front to enjoy the view of the canal. If it's raining or cold, the inside is still clean and welcoming, with local artists displayed on the wall. Overall, I would chance the good, even now, for one more bite of Washington happiness.

I've recently had a trip to Toutle for 4th of July. Not many places were open for breakfast on the…read moreholiday. My friend was only able to find this place so we went for it. GETTING THERE At first, we didn't realize this place is inside of a Toyota dealership. It's maybe about 5 min from the I-5 exit. It's extremely easy to get to and easy to find. Literally find the dealership with 100 Toyota cars and trucks parked outside haha PARKING Parking availability is just like any dealership. There wasn't a designated spot for the restaurant, but there was a huge gravel/dirt lot just on the outskirts of the main lot. We parked there since we had a trailer with a car on it. Its maybe about a minute walk to the main building where the restaurant was at. AMBIANCE/SERVICE It was 4th of July and the front had maybe 8-10 salesmen all lined up to greet customers. It was a little intimidating when we walked up since we weren't looking to buy a car, but the one closest to us understood we weren't interested and he helped direct us to the restaurant. Not much for ambiance. It is just like any other dealership. No special decor. Just a few lounge chairs, massage chairs, TV, and a brand new 2026 Toyota Tacoma parked next to the dining area for you to look at. The counter where you order at is fairly small. You just walk up, order, they give you a number, then you just grab a seat somewhere. There have limited seating near the counter, but you can opt out to sit at the tables by the front window where the display vehicles are. The staff was friendly and the food didn't take long to arrive. FOOD I ordered the breakfast pizza. I've had breakfast pizzas before, but this one is a little different. It comes with a biscuit crust instead of a typical pizza dough. Then it's topped with normal breakfast toppings like bacon, sausage, ham, cheese, and 2 fried eggs. The eggs aren't scrambled and mixed into all the fixings like others I've had, but I didn't mind this. This also had sausage gravy which I don't typically see on a breakfast pizza, but I enjoyed it. The gravy and the eggs helped balance out the saltiness of everything else. I enjoyed this version of a breakfast pizza with the biscuit crust, but it was a little too heavy for one person. I ended up sharing about half of it. I can definitely finish it, but I won't be moving for a while. The coffee was pretty standard. I also wasn't wanting anything too fancy, so it was exactly what I needed. OVERALL I enjoyed this place and I would come back. At the time, I didn't realize it was the same business as the location in Lakewood, which I've ordered from in the past on DoorDash. I've been meaning to check it out in person. But despite it being in a dealership, I'd say this place is still a good place to check out if you need a quick stop off the freeway.

Let me preface by saying, their food is always top notch. We always schedule our car service in…read morethe morning so we can get breakfast at Biscuit House (inside the dealership) I always get the cinnamon French toast (with fresh strawberries and blueberries! Yum!) my husband isn't as predictable, and this time he had the Spanish omelet. He said it was delicious, made with Chorizo sausage, Tomato, Green Onion, and Pepper Jack Cheese. Topped with Salsa. He also ordered country gravy on his hashbrowns. The omelets also include a fresh baked biscuit. If you are not up for a full breakfast, they also have a lighter-side menu, or delicious scones. Standard drip coffee or hot tea are complimentary. Over the years they have become quite popular, keeping busy not only with Toyota employees and customers, but also locals and you will see food delivery drivers picking up to-go orders. Usually our meal arrives in a timely manner (in fact, our typical comment is 'oh wow! That was quick!) but today it took 40 minutes to get our food. It was a Monday morning, order was placed at 10:32 and delivered to the table at 11:12.
