Shonas Food Company

We are from Longview and wanted to try something new, so I checked Google Maps and Jeremy's was…read morefirst on the list. The menu looked good so we headed up. I had the Pesto Caprese pizza and it was amazing! The balsamic glaze added just the right amount of sweetness to bring together the different flavors. My husband had the NY steak and said it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our server was very attentive and told us how all the ingredients were locally sourced, which is very good to hear because we like to support local businesses. Lastly, the building is quite beautiful with the exposed brick interior walls. I'm not familiar with the local history so I'm curious as to what this building was originally? We will definitely come back and also check out the market next time.

So Bad It Was Almost Comical…read more My wife and I stopped here for lunch on our drive from Oregon to Seattle. The parking lot was completely full, so after circling around and eventually finding street parking, we figured the place must be popular. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the high point of the experience. The main restaurant was fairly full, so we were seated in a large, dark bar area in the back. And then... nothing happened. For more than 30 minutes. Eventually, a waiter appeared and took our order. Then another 30+ minutes passed before the food arrived. Somehow, even our iced tea didn't make it to the table until the food did. All told, we spent roughly an hour sitting at an empty table without so much as a beverage, and about 90 minutes from the time we arrived until we actually had food in front of us. At that point, the whole experience was becoming almost comical. We ordered a cod burger with fries, a Caesar salad, onion rings and an iced tea. The cod burger was okay. Nothing memorable, but edible. The Caesar salad was actually good. The fries, however, arrived cold, soggy and thoroughly greasy -- quite an accomplishment considering how long we waited for them. The onion rings apparently embarked on a separate journey altogether, because they never arrived. By then, we'd lost the will to ask about them and just gave up. The grand total for one cod burger with cold fries, a small Caesar salad and an iced tea? $40.00! We mentioned the long wait, forgotten food and other problems to our waiter. He was sympathetic and explained that they were short staffed, which we understand can make things difficult. But being short staffed doesn't make a 90-minute lunch, no drinks for an hour, cold soggy fries and forgotten food any less disappointing -- especially at those prices. By the end, we weren't even angry. The whole thing had crossed over into comedy. Needless to say, on future drives between Oregon and Seattle, we'll be finding a different midway lunch stop.

We initially walked in just to look at the menu, and everything sounded good enough that we decided to stay. It felt like a nice dinner restaurant, even though it wasn't very busy, which makes sense for a smaller town. Ray ordered the chef salad with blue cheese dressing and a bowl of French onion soup. I ordered the Thai chicken wings, and they were absolutely delicious. The sauce was full of flavor, and the wings were not skimpy at all--large, meaty, and very satisfying. There were about six wings, and I couldn't even finish them all. The French onion soup was impressive--not basic at all, with a more elevated, "fancy" flavor profile. The salad was fresh, crisp, and well prepared. You can definitely tell there's a good chef in the kitchen. Our server, Maria, was excellent--very kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was very quiet ! If we ever pass through Chehalis again, this will definitely be a place we return to. Highly recommend giving it a try.

In the world of fast food it's hard to find a place that still takes the time and energy to make good wholesome food. I have been here several times and wanted to write a review once I had a chance to try more of the delicious choices. Everything, I mean everything is very tasty. When you walk in it's a very cool vibe and Shona is sure to greet you with a smile and ask how you are doing. It sure is nice to have right in the heart of downtown Chehalis. read more

My boyfriend told me that anytime he passes by that the parking lot is always filled, and even when we were coming in, the parking lot was full and there were definitely some interesting parking choices made by others. We were able to get parking and as we entered we were greeted warmly by staff. Luckily, there was a small table for us so we were seated right away with menus. The staff here are on point with checking in at the perfect times and they always do a sweep for coffee and water refills, to see if anyone needs anything or anything else. They are also so friendly and seem to know their regulars well too. The bathroom is well-maintained and even has a changing station. I got the strawberry lemonade and the biscuits and gravy combo that comes with eggs, hash browns, and ham while my boyfriend got the chicken club sandwich. The drink arrived immediately and not even after a few minutes did our food arrive. The pictures and reviews did not lie, the portions were huge and the food tasted great especially for the price.

Got the caramel s'mores blended with oat milk and am now almost finished with it after taking those photos! Really great stuff! First thing I should address is their coffee - it is a very nice, strong roast. No burnt or watered down taste either that I've found at most coffee stands, just pure amazing coffee. It tastes like it may be a dark roast but I'm not fully sure. That being said, if you do not like strong tasting coffee or like the taste of coffee in general, I would suggest not ordering a coffee here at all and possibly try something else or going somewhere different. Even tho mine is very much flavored, the coffee is the focal point and the thing you taste most out of anything else. I taste the other flavors, but the coffee is definitely the star here. They also have a very nice milk substitute selection! They have soy, coconut, almond, hemp, and oat milk. So if you're vegan or lactose intolerant, they got you covered! The gal who took my order was very nice and seemed really sweet. Love the aesthetic and atmosphere of the shop as well!
