Great tacos on Taco Tuesday The service stinks, but only because the help is only one person working inside and outside. I'm not quite sure where the owner is when they need the help. The one star is for the owner and his lack of consideration for the lack of support that's provided for his staff that at least shows up. read more

This establishment apparently lacks air conditioning because the front doors were propped open during our visit. No flies though. The food is so bad that even flies aren't interested. read more

Unbelievable that food is this great at a biker bar in Carnation. As a native Rhode Islander, I speak with authority that Pete's Friday clam chowder is as good as you'll find in the best New England restaurant. Daniel's Broiler chowder comes in second place to Pete's. And the little piece of garlic toast that accompanies the chowder is the icing on the cake. Now on to the Asian wings. They are the best I've had anywhere! Nice and crispy on the outside, meaty and moist on the inside. The sauce is perfect. Nothing pretentious or expensive about Pete's. Just pull up a stool and enjoy the company of down-to-earth Carnationites. No need to go to the big city for a fine meal. Pete's delivers, and the ambiance is what small town Pacific Northwest used to be. Don't change Pete's! Don't change Carnation! read more

We were there grand opening evening. The crew was definitely still figuring things out and they were not ready for the crowd. Food was above standard, service was lacking and asking everyone to stand in line to order at the bar was not good. Band was great. I've been back since and will keep going back as another great option in Carnation. read more

If you find yourself in Carnation for any reason, this place is worth checking out. Don't be intimidated by the dive factor. It is a dive, but its a good dive and they have tons of outdoor seating! The Eggs Benedict was one of the best versions I have ever had. Thick fried ham and flavorful Hollandaise sauce made my taste buds happy! Pros Outdoor seating $4 tall cans of PBR and Rainier Pool tables Solid Breakfast read more

We usually come to Pete's for breakfast on Sunday mornings. They have terrific breakfast plates at very reasonable prices, and their homemade bloody marys are great! They also have kid's items (like the Little Pete) that offer choices and are appropriately-portioned for our five-year old son. For lunch they have a great burger selection, as well as several entrees. Their beer selection is very impressive, and with their full bar, any drink can be enjoyed. Locals definitely call this place home, so you're sure to find some friendly country patrons on most days. Natasha often is serving when we visit, so if you're fortunate enough to visit, treat her well! read more

Pour House Pete's - Meat Lover's Omlet - Burgers Near Me - Carnation, Washington

Against the advice of a few friends and neighbors that had been disappointed with the food and service since Pete's reopening a friend and decided to give it a try. Big mistake. We both ordered the Thur. special hamburger, medium rare, one with fries and the other with tater tots. Both burgers were so overdone and dry I suspect they had been made up ahead of time and left on a warming rack. I asked for a lettuce wrap instead of bread. It came with a wilted piece of lettuce smaller than the burger. The waitress, who was friendly and helpfull, explained that they didn't really have lettuce wraps. That seems odd to me since they offered several salad options. The fries were greasy, cold and inedible. The tater tots were ok. When the waitress brought the bill she asked how we liked our meal and I politely expressed our disappointment. She was cocerned and said she would have the manager stop by our table. We had a second beer and decided management must not care. All in all it was one of those times I regret not sending the food back to the kitchen and just moving on. read more

Almost an hour has passed as I begin writing this review as we sat waiting for burgers on a Wednesday afternoon. Overall, service is very slow. And when I say slow, I mean SLOWWWWWW. My mom who sat next to me bristled with irritation as she sat there tapping her foot to every minute that passed by. Surely it couldn't be that difficult to make a couple burgers and scoop potato salad. The couple that ordered 10mins before us had already gotten up and left as soon as their order arrived, puffing with frustration. Granted, a beer or two, or three, no, let's make it four, could have made this experience a little better but at 1:15 in the afternoon, that would have been a foolish decision. In hindsight, we should've ordered beers to help ease the frustration of this dining experience. Light at the end of the tunnel- we finally got our burgers. Burgers were okay! Got the hen burger with ham, bacon, fried egg, cheddar and swiss cheese. Good decision self! I was a little tickled about the ham, nicely cut and several layers of it on the burger. Yay. The burger itself was already cooled, bacon cold, cheese slowly hardening from the burger probably waiting to come to me. Poor burger. Note, the cheddar cheese was a limp half melted Kraft single... Meh. Overall, would have appreciated faster/more attentive service and hot food. Will probably not come back for food again, but maybe for a beer instead at the bar. read more

Pour House Pete's - Hen burger with potato salad - Burgers Near Me - Carnation, Washington

Decent place. Friendly and efficient staff. Food was good. Lots of menu choices. Atmosphere good. Just be aware people smoke in the outdoor area. That was a downer but we were able to find a spot where we weren't affected by it. It's a good place to stop on the way to somewhere else. read more

I love Pete's!! Always excellent service, friendly folks, incredible food and drinks like I make 'em at home. Okay, their drinks are better than mine. ANYWAY do yourself a favor and stop in. You'll be glad you did! OH and order the smokin turkey sandwich - AMAZING!!! read more

We went again for Wing Wednesday...great deal and the wings are the best I've had on the Eastside. Super prompt service and great before 6pm happy hour. read more

Pete's is everything you want and expect it to be. It's a small OLD charming bar and grill. The atmosphere is very laid back. Service is kind and polite. They've got a good tap list, burgers, fries and apps are tasty. It's a great place if you're just passing through OR looking fire a local go-to. read more

We realize Covid has been devastating to the restaurant industry, and it's good to see things coming back albeit very slowly. Unfortunately, there's been a lot of changes, not all for the best. Pete's always had a great range of burgers, now it's just a basic burger. I suppose this is all down to not being able to get consistent cooks. Fish portions are still good, but although their batter has improved slightly, it still needs improvement. Also, why did they change their Coleslaw, which was really good and replace it with Vinaigrette Coleslaw, which is terrible? Please go back to the original. We always used to look forward to the BBQ Wings, but they've disappeared from the menu too. Is there a shortage of chickens? Come on Pete's, we've suffered along with you, try and get back to where you were pre Covid. p.s. understandably, there's been a lot of staff changes, but the servers are great, so no problems there. Keep it up. read more

I was here NYE 2010. That's right, I was in Carnation, WA on NYE. I won't share with you the long drawn out story as to how that came to be, just know that it was completely surprising to me as well. A great joke could easily begin with, "Emerson walks into a bar in Carnation on NYE with 3 females and..." But in all honesty, Petes's wasn't half bad. I didn't have the food, but they've got 1 hell of a bar. The crowd was diverse, you had old, and older, farmers and ranchers, etc. The people were friendly, but you could easily tell the shock on their face. Guess I'm too handsome for Carnation. Yea, I'm sure that's why ;-) In all seriousness, the bar is great and there are normal drink specials that I saw posted on the wall. The locals support this place in full force, and the owner seemed like a nice enough dude. There's a big dance floor that plays both country AND western. Diverse indeed. Plus some hip hop. Yes, Coolio and Nelly from the mid nineties count as hip hop. I suppose if I were to take my cougar hunt a lil more seriously, I'd start here. Not a bad place if you're already in town, but not memorable enough to make the special trip up to see. read more

And a Saturday morning tradition - Pete's is everything you want in a small town bar but with a killer diner style breakfast! I keep it simple with The Usual but found the real treat of ordering their fruit cup. Not your standard honey dew mess but a cup busting full of fresh berries! The rest of the crew is consistent with their steak and eggs which I've been happy to nibble on. YES they are kid friendly during the day with coloring menus to prove it! The pancakes are also buzzworthy with their unique oatmeal base. I've always joined their outdoor patio for lunch and a beer where the fries do not disappoint. There is ample room here for a group and it looks like the evenings can get a little lively. If you're looking to nab a bite before or after a hike I strongly recommend this no fuss spot. read more

I stuck out like a sore thumb being the only Asian girl (and with pink/black piggy braids) who rode in on a Moto Guzzi V7 Classic in a Harley's biker bar in smallville USA. The service was swift and the food was actually more delicious than expected. I had the Reuben French Dip w/fries and my BF, who rode in on a Triumph Speed Triple, ordered a tasty burger w/fries. The place had been around for 100+ years! Crazy! No one got beat up cuz they weren't a Harley's fan, which was good cuz I was readying my inner Kung Fu if an episode like a brawl should break out somehow. Definitely a great place to stop to rest and grab bite to eat! read more

Cool local bar with TVs and a pool table. They could use more craft beer on tap (maybe a stout or a porter) and the taco salad I had could've used some beans and rice. The staff is great though. I'd come back. Next time I'll try the veggie burger. read more

We stopped in here for a late lunch last Tuesday and were greeted with a smile and a vibrant How do you Do!! The food is great. I had a burger with bacon, ham and egg on it and my wife had the roast beef melt. The drinks were good and the food was hot. I loved the fact that the bar tender knew all the people who walked in. I would suggest this place to everyone and try the salads. I saw there were a few of them and on a recommendation from a friend who said they were amazing. I am really into history and places with a lot of it. This place definitely has a lot of history. They have pictures of people that were descendants of the first settlers in Carnation.. A cool place with a really cool bar back and old time wood floors. Check it out and you won't be disappointed. read more

This is our favorite place to eat. The food is always great and well portioned yet the prices are very low. We have actually checked our bill because we thought they made a mistake and undercharged us! Though it can be rowdy, this is due to a very well behaved diverse crowd. At any given time, you can find families with young children, sports enthusiasts, bikers, rockers, country folk or seniors. It seems all are welcome. Breakfast is offered on weekends. Pros: Low prices, great food, full bar, welcoming atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, ample parking on street or on adjacent street's parking area, at least 3 televisions and well posted specials. Cons: Sometimes the service, though friendly, can be slow. It depends on when you go and how busy it is, but that can pretty much be said about anywhere. If I was in a real hurry, I would not go to Pete's. Also they do not have a great dessert menu. Additional Info: There's a game area in the back with several pool tables. Live music is offered several times a week and the venue varies. There are nightly regular dinner specials; if you like Fish and Chips, head there on a Friday night. All in all, our favorite. Nine times out of ten, Pete's is where we head when we want a bite to eat. read more

Fast and friendly service, thanks Laura! The drink special of the night was a Caramel Apple Mule. Loved the seasonality and was super refreshing. Will definitely be coming back! read more

When you don't have much to choose from in this town, I guess everything looks 4 or 5 stars to some people. This isn't anything to write home about, but at least the food was palatable. I think the majority of my complaint goes towards the service. When we first arrived it wasn't too busy. The bar tender was also acting as the waitress for all the food ordering customers. When it isn't busy, I can see that strategy being ok. But shortly after we arrived, it started filling up and the bar tender started falling behind and no one seemed to help her out. I just have a couple of annoying things to mention. We ordered mozzarella sticks. There were no plates or utensils on the table when the appetizer arrived. I asked for plates and napkins since the sticks are pretty much finger food and piping hot. The waitress brought us 4 napkins, and three small roll size plates. Hmm... Last time I counted at the table there are 5 people here. So two people had to share a plate and I didn't get a napkin. So I asked for some more napkins and got 3 more. Strike 1 Then, we placed our order. I ordered a burger and fries and a cup of chili. I asked the waitress to please bring the chili out before the main meal. Well you can probably guess what ended up happening before I even say it... Everything came out at the same time. No chili before the burger like I asked... Strike 2. Finally to top it off, when we paid the bill, my wife paid with cash and gave the exact amount of change from her coin purse. We were supposed to get $11 back in paper money. Instead, I received two five dollar bills and about 85 cents as my change. So that was strike 3. There were some other annoying things too related to refilling our pops... I asked for a refill on my coke, and she took my cup away and brought it back to me just a little over 1/2 full. I thought that was weird. Food was decent. Can't really screw up a burger too badly. I didn't care for the chili. It was dry, and pretty much just all beans. There was very little sauce. My kids got the cheesy tots. Those were yummy. All in all, it wasn't too bad if you don't mind taking it slow. The service was pretty slow leaving me to be constantly looking for someone to help get something we needed at the table. From drink refills, to plates, to napkins, to some mayonaise, to some utensils. I had to do a lot of asking for things to get what we needed. I think the waitress was getting a little annoyed by us asking for things, but if she were on it to begin with, I wouldn't have had to ask for these basics things. I think this deserves 2 stars due to a below average experience. Not the worst but certainly not average either. read more

Decided to venture to this great small town bar after reading some of the reviews. It was a quiet Saturday lunch when we entered but we were quickly greeted by the bar staff and told to take any seat. Menus quickly arrived along with a request for our drink orders. We found the entire service experience to be casual, friendly, and attentive. We decided to skip the breakfast fare (as we given the option despite the 1pm time), and ordered a French dip (with onion rings for $1.75 extra), the Philly Cheese steak (with the cheese tots for $1.75 extra) and a kids tenders/fries. All food arrived in a reasonable time and at once. The Dip was simply served without cheese (per the menu) and the au jus was full of beef flavor without being overly salty. The onion rings were crispy and plentiful. The hoagie roll was tender and warm, not tough. The cheese steak was also very good and served with Swiss cheese (and green peppers/onions). There was a nice helping of beef and the veggies were crisp tender. The cheesy tots were a hit, but we had to take most of the portion home as they are filling. The staff was preparing for a local Memorial service scheduled for later that day, but were attentive and polite. Overall, some decent fare and a friendly environment. Definitely a "locals" spot, but our experience made us feel at home! We will be back! read more

Been to this cool little bar a couple times. The food is always tasty bar food. The bartenders are always quick and friendly, and their beer selection is really well put together. First time I went I had the cobb salad with mac and cheese bites for starters. This delicious food is what made me go back a second time. The second time i went i got their burger dip which was on a hogue roll with strips of white onion and au ju to dip in. Needless to say my taste buds went wild They also have a really large open patio, which is great to sit out on during the summer. read more

After visiting the nearby Tolt McDonald Park for some mountain biking, my boyfriend and I ventured into Carnation. We saw Pete's Grill had a patio with some live music playing so we decided to give it a try. The patio is pretty big, the live music was a nice touch, and the drinks were cheap. Those were the positives. The negative was that our order was lost. Nobody told us the food was going to be delayed but we saw people come in after us get served. Our waitress just kept saying it would be a few minutes. After 35 minutes, we finally received our food. I ordered the Chicken sandwich with avocado and bacon. The bacon was inedible - completely black. No wonder it took 35 minutes. The food was mediocre. I don't know if I'd come back. If I did, it'd probably be just to grab a drink or two. read more

Jordan R. is a totally AWESOME server, super nice and very welcoming!! Food was really good! I was able to sub an item w/ no up charge, that was very nice of them! Building is cool - floors are fantastically old! read more

Locals are not treated well at Pete's even when you have known the employees for many years. I go to Ixtapas where the bartender treats you like you matter as a customer. read more

My girlfriend and I just moved to Washington from las Vegas. We are camping at Tolt Mcdonald Park while we look for a place to live and googled places to eat. This place came up as 4 stars on yelp so we checked it out. We came in and found out dogs are allowed outside on the patio which is awesome because we have a 8 lbs dog. We ordered beer and food when we arrived. The beer was cheap and the food was amazing. We ended up coming today the next day for taco night. The fish tacos were amazing again. We are returning for wing night. We met great people at the bar and plan on coming back as often as we can. This place is further than where we are looking for a home but we would drive here just for the food, people and atmosphere! read more

This is a cute little place in the town of Carnation. The owner is a great guy and the food/ atmosphere is great pub fare! read more

Delicious and everybody is super friendly! Rather than people tethering their dogs up they occasionally have horses tethered up with their hay and water :) so cute. read more

Found this place on accident (thank god). We decided to take a drive out to see the falls in Snoqulmie and not wanting to spend $200 on lunch we drive on down the rode looking for a good place to stop and grab a burger when we saw Pete's. Sat down ordered a beer and as we where trying to decide what to eat, as there where so many great things on the menu the bartender went by with one of the best looking club sandwiches I have ever seen. Our mouths dropped and we new we had hit the jackpot, I ordered the Ruben with fries, husband hamburger and onion rings and not just any burger this thing had thick cut bacon a fried egg and was huge! The Ruben loaded with tender corn beef and loads of fries on the side . Needless to say I took half home was to big to eat the whole thing. They also serve breakfast and have a wide range of beers and a full bar! Will definitely be talking more rode trips to Carnation, and soon! read more

Pour House Pete's - The are no words! And seriously I don't think it needs any. - Burgers Near Me - Carnation, Washington

Great during the day. My wife and I just moved to the area and hosted a moving party here. They are great and attentive when your spending over 500 dollars. Last night however we stopped by for a quick drink on our way home and sat at the bar by some men who were making passes at our friend with us. When she didn't respond to them the bar tender pulled our drinks (our first) and yells "alright your done" because she wouldn't talk to the bartenders friend. Mysteriously my Debit is then declined several times, I check the account it's fine.. use my wife's card connected works fine. Thus being made feel bad even though it was her error. I'm really disappointed because we wanted this to be our local spot. read more

I have a thing for their potato skins! Much easier than making them at home. Prices are good and drinks are strong. Friendly local place that is good for kids before 9pm (I think it's 9). Breakfast is good and lovely to have a cocktail and look for antiques across the street. read more

Love this place! We both got Cobb salads, which were fantastic. Service was friendly and laid back feel. It wasn't too crowded when we rode in on Sunday midday, but by the time we left there were probably 20 more motorcycles lining the street. Still plenty of seating. I appreciated the misters in the back yard to keep it cool. We were both riding Indians and didn't get any attitude from the HD folks LOL. read more

Stopped in there for the first time today. I told the bartender it was my first time coming there to eat. She waited until I ordered a beer to tell me food would take 35 minutes. There were about 10 people there maybe. She said "our fryer is really small". Really?! The place is pretty decent sized. Maybe they need to invest in a larger fryer. I drank half my beer and left. Won't go back. read more

Great burger and fries , awesome friendly servers, perfect place to visit if your are playing through Carnation.

Had lunch on Sunday. My husband said his burger was really good and I had the turkey bird sandwich which was also loaded with turkey and yummy. Fries were good but could have been a little hotter (I like fresh hot fries!). Great service and friendly. Have been here several times over the years and will be back for sure. read more

What a nice surprise this place is! My friend & I were out for a country drive & got hungry so we stopped here. The other reviews looked good & they have sandwiches & burgers so in we went. Well, let me tell you, we weren't disappointed. The gal at the bar was super friendly. They even have hot tea! My burger was really tasty. So were the fries & Cole slaw. My friend says her sandwich & potato salad were exceptional too. read more

In route home and craving a burger so I Googled "burgers near me now"and subsequently called Pete's to order ahead. Ohmygosh!! It's been a long time since I've had such an amazing burger! The beer-battered onion rings rivaled my homemade ones. I can hardly wait to go back. Staff at counter was friendly, too. Obviously, best kept secret on Hwy 203. read more

The day help was nice....then the afternoon help came on..nice while playing pull tab and food...then say for over 10 minutes with no drink while she talked to locals and drank her water from a water bottle. ..when she finally came to me I told her I would have ordered more food and drink. ..answer was..." want your bill ? " I left a 1 cent tip....don't go here read more

Really fun community spot! It's a little grungy, but the folks are nice...you'll see all types here! The veggie BBQ burger is awesome and the fish tacos on Tuesdays are super dope! The beer selection could use a little improvement, but there's normally at least one or two on tap that are pretty good to great! They can do their burgers with black bean patties, which are great, but I wish there were a few more veggie options on the menu. read more
