So, heard about this place from some friends and decided to try them out. So first of all, you have to arrive early and get in line. Yes it's that busy. We arrived 15min before they opened and there was a line of 20-25 people ahead of us. With more pulling into the parking lot. The instructions from Side Piece Kitchen are clear on ordering and waiting to get your seat until you and your party orders your food. Good process as it's a small place and seating is a premium. Now the food. All I can say is bring an appetite as the portions are good sized and the biscuits are huge. The meal was awesome and the lady taking orders and directing traffic was great. She helped us newbie's and we were very happy with what she suggested. Service was great but sadly no Decaf Coffee (ok some people have to drink it) but other than that a great experience. We will be back, but we will get there earlier to beat the crowds that continuously line up all day. read more

Side Piece Kitchen - Get here early or wait for the goodness in line. - Bakeries Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

My wife and I stopped into Side Piece Kitchen for breakfast while passing through Tacoma. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Indoors is extremely small with limited seating options. Outdoors offers a few more tables. Minors can accompany and adult to place take-out orders; however, minors cannot sit inside or outside due to space limitations. Orders are placed and paid for at the counter, resulting in minimal interaction with the staff. The single restroom onsite is the employee restroom which is granted access at the back of the building by an employee. During our visit, an abundance of people was placing take-out orders. Alcoholic beverages are limited to mimosas and beer. The menu is creative and fun to look at trying to decide on what to order. My wife and I finally decided on sharing the The Sizzurup for $13 + $0.50 up-charge for Cheddar Bae Biscuit: 2 maple sausage patties, white cheddar, 2 hard fried eggs, maple syrup and chives. Our sandwich was hefty but oh so delicious and worth every gluttonous bite. Staff was friendly enough given the minimal interaction. Overall, we were both happy with our breakfast choice. Sharing our sandwich took some of the carb/calorie guilt away. read more

The food was absolutely phenomenal -- every dish was bursting with flavor and clearly made with love and quality ingredients. You can really taste the creativity and care that goes into each plate. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, you'll leave full and happy. If you're looking for a spot that hits all the marks -- great food, great service, and great energy -- The Sidepiece Kitchen is the place to be. Highly recommended! read more

This is super popular. We arrived just before 11 AM on a Sunday, and line way out the door. It took us over 20 minutes to reach the front and unfortunately the party ahead of us got the last Cheddar Bae Biscuit! Get here early for best results! The restaurant is counter service, but since the eat in area is so small, the cashier monitors the cameras to see which tables seem to be clearing out soon. Although, they don't actually clear tables and require the customers to self regulate (one party was already done eating when we placed our order and they were still there chatting after we had finished eating about an hour later....). Sizzurup Sando, Buttermilk Biscuit ($13.50) - Starting with the biscuit first - absolutely heavenly biscuit. It's super fluffy, buttery, and moist on the interior, yet it has great structural integrity, keeping together very well (great for sandwich purposes), rather than crumbling apart. It's not too floury or dense at all, and is baked until the exterior develops a fantastic hard crust, a great textural contrast to everything in the sandwich. A person at the table next to me was complaining that their biscuit was too dry and dense. Are you kidding me? We must be eating entirely different dishes or something, because, coming as someone who grew up eating biscuits in the South, these are excellent, albeit not the flaky type of biscuit. The interior sandwich ingredients complement the biscuit so well, and the construction is equally stellar. First, starting from the bottom layer, cheese, complete with melted cheesy stretch. A sausage patty, soft in texture, savory and slightly sweet in taste, doused with Maple syrup. Then a fried egg, only one due to the egg shortages. It has lacy brown edges, and the yolk is broken and cooked hard, which helps the structural integrity of the sandwich. Then the same mirrored on the top. There's a small smattering of minced chives that graces the egg, but it's not noticeable given the other flavors. Everything works very well together, creating a perfect symphony of flavors with every bite. (5/5) Biscuits & Gravy, Buttermilk Biscuit ($13) - With the biscuits and gravy comes a choice - classic sausage gravy, mushroom gravy, or a mix of both. We of course went with the mix, thinking it would be sausage on one side, mushroom on the other. Unfortunately, that's not the case - instead, Side Piece actually mixes both together into a single solution, combining the best parts of both types into one. The gravy is well seasoned and distinctively orangeish in color - perhaps due to the addition of copious amounts of paprika? It's thick and rich and is emulsified very well, leaving no hint of floury bite that sometimes sausage gravies can exhibit. The mushroom boosts the umami, and the small pieces of sausage adds addition fat and meatiness. There's onion as well - hey it's a vegetable, so that makes this dish healthy, right? The biscuit surprisingly holds up very well against the rich gravy - there crust still somehow manages to stay decently hard even soaked through with the liquid. The biscuit to gravy ration is on the dot, allowing each bite to be perfectly balanced between the fat and carbs. (5/5) I really enjoyed my meal at Side Piece Kitchen - I can see why they are on the 2025 Yelp Top 100 list. They also offers weekly specials for both the main dishes and cheesecakes. That makes it a fun place to visit every time. Bathrooms - Single water closet. I like that the sink is outside and easily accessible, especially since the maple syrup got my hands very sticky . read more

Side Piece is fantastic, if you didn't already know. We go back to the days when she was still at Sig. Glad this happened, the spot has a cool 70's vibe and a matching yacht rock playlist. Order at the counter, DO NOT save seats. My wife had the egg biscuit-eddict with salmon and I had the Loud Pack. Both were superb. Filling and delicious. Messy too, but worth it. So good. read more

I'm so glad we have another place that specializes in cheesecake in Tacoma besides Cheesecake factory. Nothing against cheesecake from Cheesecake factory, but if you've tried Side Piece Kitchen's cheesecakes then you'll understand. Their cheesecakes were decedent yet not overly sweet and not too dense/our thick where you get that stuffed icky feeling after eating something that was super heavy in cream and cheese you know what I mean...Also, the slices are freaking HUGE for about $6-$7 each, yeah get it! The biscuits were also good. I'm usually not a biscuit person because of the dry texture, but these biscuits were nothing like that. They were packed with flavor and warm/buttery on the inside. Did I have to mention again that their biscuit is also HUGE! I recommend trying their biscuit with one of their homemade jam/jellys. It's the perfect combo. read more

Came here on a Sunday. Arrived 15 minutes after they opened and there was already a line so for first timers, expectations were high & they definitely delivered! Service was great, they tend to the customers that are dining in. Decor was cute, music was upbeat and definitely turns up the retro 90s vibe. Food was good. We Got the baca sandwiches and the homemade biscuits were perfect. Not dry, flavorful and would totally try by itself next time. Only thing id said is that for a sandwich, I wish there was less biscuit. Like it definitely overtook the whole sandwich but not in a bad way. It all depends on preference. I'd definitely come back and either get the biscuits and gravy or the eggs benny. The couple sitting next to us had the biscuits & gravy and smelled so good! Location was so random, it's in a complex next to a gas station but I guess you can say that's what makes it extra special. Hidden gem of Tacoma. Will definitely be back again! read more

I LOVE this place - sooo tasty, excellent people (we got to meet the owner, and she is super cool), I freaking love how you order-then-sit-then-eat; more restaurants should do this. It works! I had a Bloody Mary and the Stoner SOS. I could have eaten it all if I didn't want to move for the rest of the day! Next time, I'll bring Tupperware. We will most definitely be BACK! read more

We've been wanting to try out side piece kitchen for some time now & we finally had a day off together to go check it out it was worth the hype & the wait. The biscuit flavor was so buttery melt in your mouth, the bacon was THICC & delicious. The maple syrup compliments the sausage/biscuit SO well. The inside was so cute I loved the Christmas decorations. Staff was nice & quick service too! We only had to wait about 10-15 for our food once the order was placed. We will definitely be back. read more

Listen if the name doesn't get you, take a look at the menu. The names of the items are hilarious. The owner has been in every time and is so amazing and friendly. The drinks are strong, they even have an MD2020 drink. I loveeeeee their gravy. This place is a must go to whenever I'm in tacoma. I've also definitely driven here in the morning from Everett because it's just that amazing. The Bloody Mary comes with the cutest mini biscuit. They also give you the option between regular and cheddar bay biscuit. I just wish one of these existed in the north end where I live. The inside can be challenging to find a spot but it's worth the wait and typically you can squeeze in somewhere or go outside, but it's definitely getting a little too cold for that. Please stop by here!!! read more

I am ashamed to say this is my first, extremely belated visit to SPK. I've been following them on Instagram since they were takeout-only from a little popup til now, where they boast a full-blown brick-and-mortar establishment. Parking is tight in the strip mall. They're perched on the corner with a cute front patio for extra seating. Line can get out the door. You order first at the counter then find a seat. I got takeout since all the tables were taken. Food is great. I am normally not a fan of biscuits BUT THESE ARE THE EXCEPTION. I got the avocado biscuit toast, which is a whole meal and a half. Plenty of avocado, tomatoes, and a large buttermilk biscuit sliced in half and toasted. And it is served Benedict style with two poached eggs. Quality ingredients and freshly made! So good! I also got the churro cheesecake, which was one of their special "Taco Bell" themed desserts. A little steep at $12/slice, but also this was delicious. Support local businesses and eat here instead of IHOP! NOTE: They are 21+ for seating. They serve mimosas and beer. Kids are allowed takeout only. Menu is available online on their website. read more

Heard that this was a must go spot. Headed there pretty early, or so I thought and there was already a line out the door. But the place is pretty small. They did advise they are working on expanding the restaurant but no ETA at this time. You'll find once you get inside, you're in a time warp. There's a few tables inside and outside. But you know how our weather is, so be prepared if you have to eat outside. Now the food. Got a few different items. The biscuits and gracy are Def on the savory side, but for me personally a bit too rich. Turns out , I just like the old school black pepper gravy. But since it is different, I'd recommend getting it with the cheddar bae biscuits (There is slight upcharge for this.) Get half mushroom gravy and half sausage so you can taste both. Also got the Baca which you can pick a regular or cheddar bae biscuits, which I was advised was pretty tasty. This sandwich has bacon, avocado, sharp cheddar, and a hard friend egg (you can't change the way the egg comes). Also got a Pineapple Upside Cake, which was actually a cheesecake too. The staff is super friendly and the vibes is chill. One thing to keep in mind, if you have an AMEX card, the charge may show up as a women's day spa. I asked the restaurant themselves if they knew it does that and they are aware. They advised when they spoke to AMEX, it seems they are going off old GPS coordinates and it still registers as the spa and not the restaurant. read more

Seen a lot of posting on social media about this business and decided to give it a try. What I can say is the athmosphere is a on a whole blast from the past for sure, nostalgic child hood memories came protruding as I stepped in from the pictures and decor. The menu is pretty creative and interesting. I tried the stoners SOS and my sister got the Sizzurup. All was super tasty! The SOS was generously served in a big portion and took the rest home. Horchatas was nice and refreshing! Oreo was great for chocolatey lovers. The latke was like a hashbrown and was served with like an apple jelly that was fiiiire! Service was great! Everyone seemed to be in good energy! From observing while waiting for food, cooks were happy and chatty and the energy was great! The owner who took our order at the front was great, chatted up, and was real hospitable to all guests. She even posed for a pic! Recommend try it if you're in the area. read more

** BEST BLOODY MARY in TACOMA ** ** Bacon is on the THICCCC side** ** HARD TO FIND SEATING** Hands down the best Bloody Mary in Tacoma. This was my first time going to Side Piece Kitchen. Very eclectic restaurant. We got there around 10am. There was a waiting line out the door. Beau didn't want to wait as he doesn't believe anything that has a line is worth waiting for. I convinced him to wait because I have only heard rave reviews about this place. So we waited...and waited...and waited. Mid wait the owner/cashier announces that they only have 2 dozen biscuits left. Keep in mind, they are also out of a few things on the menu such as the cheddar bae biscuit. We anxiously pray that they don't sell out as we inch our way to the front. I ordered the Stoner SOS and chose the mushroom gravy. That may have been my bad. Who orders mushroom based gravy? Gravy tastes good because of the pork fat. The owner assured me it was one of her "favorites". I also ordered a slice of strawberry churro cheesecake to go. My beau ordered the Sizzurup and a Bloody Mary. He got the Bloody Mary first and it was delicious. Best Bloody Mary I have had. Super cute pineapple glasses. There was no seating when we got the bloody mary but the high top table did open when were waiting so we snagged that quick. Food didn't take long at all. Stoner SOS wasn't anything to rave about. It was ok. There wasn't much flavor to the gravy and the biscuit wasn't anything special. Before I took a bite into it, I thought the jalapeños would have a lot of zing to them as they look homemade. Didn't have much flavor. My beau thought his sandwich was good. He's not a biscuit person so that says a lot. Although he said he wouldn't wait in line again. Neither would I. The cheesecake was unique. It had a strawberry iced like topping on it which was very sweet. The cool whip wasn't homemade because it tasted like Cool Whip from Walmart. That was disappointing. I thought they would have made everything from scratch. I've lived in the south and know what a great biscuit tastes like. This place isn't it for me. Other people think otherwise so you can take my review with a grain of salt. Not worth the wait IMO. read more

We had a great breakfast at Side Pierce yesterday. We had biscuits and sausage gravy, a biscuit and a latke between us, along w horchata, orange juice and coffee. The table next to us had biscuits sandwiches and they were so big the couple spent a few minutes just figuring out how to tackle them! The short line moved quickly. The majority of orders were take out so there was nearly always one table empty or about to be empty. And of course there is lots of outside seating. The guests are a cross section of Tacoma! read more

Side Piece Kitchen has been a place I wanted to try for a while now. I strongly recommend getting here right when they open. There may be a line but it will be nothing compared how it would grow as the morning goes on. The food here is excellent! So the line is definitely warranted. I got the Hot Hitter Biscuit Sandwich and loved it! The Tomato Jam and the jalapeños really made this biscuit sandwich great! The biscuits are made perfectly and would be awesome with just with butter but the sandwiches are definitely something to try out! We got a side to share, Steve and me and got a Latke to share. Yes, thus type of hashbrown was good by itself but add some sour cream to it and it's another winning hit! Not only is Side Piece Kitchen is known for their buscuits but they are also known for their cheesecake which is truly phenomenal and out of this world! We got a nice, big slice of a pistachio cheesecake and it was absolutely fantastic! Some of the best cheesecake I've had in a very long time. Ordering all that food we weren't able to eat it all there so the cheesecake went home with us. But if you choose to go here make your primary focus to be anything with biscuits and/or cheesecake! read more

All I can say is omg yum yum and more yum! Side piece kitchen has biscuit based dishes that are out of this world. Their portion sizes are out of control too so come hungry or be prepared to save some for leftovers. Their location is Tacoma is easy to find and is a cozy little whole in the wall that gives off a friendly down to earth vibe. Food is ordered at the counter and seating is self serve. Side note, they also have homemade cheesecake slices that can be ordered with the rest of your breakfast or to go after your meal. The cheesecake flavors are a rotating menu and for the holidays they had a cherry cordial flavor that was just devine! Can't wait to come back to side piece kitchen and try more of their delicious food in the future. read more

Ordered several sandwiches. Not impressed at all. I make better breakfast sandwiches weekly. No espresso, only drip coffee. Overpriced for what you get. Won't be back Update: thank you for the sarcastic response. Maybe if you put more time into product development and less time into being unprofessional, then you'd be more successful. And you're right, I only leave reviews when I'm HIGHLY IMPRESSED or left VERY DISAPPOINTED. Sorry that your establishment was a DISAPPOINTMENT. Lol All the best :) I will do that. I appreciate the well wishes. Sorry an honest review hurt your pride. That was not my intention. read more

It's so cute and welcoming inside. It gives off 70s style vibes, and they were playing great music. Everything we ordered was so good - having the option to get both mushroom and sausage gravy mixed was awesome. I will say it's a little small in there so getting a seat inside might be difficult, but you can get items to go! They do have a patio and I'm sure that adds a lot more seats in the summer. read more

Side Piece Kitchen - Avocado Toast, Biscuits and Gravy w/ Half & Half (Mushroom + Sausage) Gravy, Bacon, Latkes - Bakeries Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Service: kind and helpful people working behind the scenes. Giving great recommendations with patience for a new timer. Ambiance: the vibes were definitely there. Just a chill set up with a decent amount of seating. Food: First our drinks were pretty good. My girlfriend got the mad dog which was like a stouter version of a mimosa. I got the Bloody Mary which was amazing. On to the food, I got the hot hitter and it was incredible. The tomato jam the pickled jalapeños was a great pairing. My girl got the sizzurup with the vegan meat sausage option and that hit the spot too. I think what tied it all together was the side of mushroom gravy we got on the side. Next time I'm ordering one more cause I'm not trying to share. Check it out early because they sold out as we finished eating. read more

Amazing biscuit, and fantastic cheesecake. I enjoyed the Eggs Benedict with Crab Cake & Avocado, which was huge and super filling. I ended up taking half home. My friend loved The Loud Pack Sando (the orange aoili sauce especially). The cheesecake was the highlight for me. $12/slice. My favorite was Browned Butter, and my friend said Cherry Cordial tasted just like the liqueur chocolate. Order at the counter, grab a seat, and your name will be called when food is ready. They only have 6 small tables inside, no highchair. read more

Fun. Delicious food. Thinking about my next meal and making sure to order cheesecake to go next time! Service was ok.

We saw this restaurant on Instagram and I could not resist it because of his name and because how good the biscuits looks online so we went and I have to say that the biscuits were dry and the biscuit to meat/cheese/egg ratio was not balance. It was a lot of biscuit and not a lot of other things so I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Inside the store was very sexualized photos of women so would I take my kid here? No and that was disappointing. The bathroom access was outside the building outside - even though that the bathroom itself was inside the building .Service was super pleasant. I think this is a great visit restaurant to visit and I think it's very interesting inside. read more

I will say, I didn't truly realize why you have to be 21 & up to enter, until I entered. They serve alcohol & there are some naked Waldo's amongst the pics & art work. But beyond that, the ambiance makes you think of That 70s Show. I got the Hot Hitter minus the bacon & added chicken patties, with a Cheddar Bae Biscuit. I don't remember what my friends got ‍. I also order grapefruit juice. It was delicious. read more

Every now and then, a cool new restaurant opens that more than lives up to the hype. Thankfully, it was in Tacoma this time! A short crawl from the southwest corner of the Tacoma Mall is Side Piece. From the groovy wallpaper, menu board, and 70s kitsch decor to the team behind the counter, this place is different in all the best ways. Menu choices from biscuit based breakfasts to sometimes psychedelic cheesecake are clever and well constructed. Your biscuit sherpas will help you decide...but be decisive cuz there's usually a line! :-) Staple items and specials rotate so check out their Instagram feed for updates on the visual extravaganza. I've brought many people here (easier to sample, use them as my guinea pigs, etc) and I haven't had a single item that didn't wow me. In fact, I now have to stop by there this weekend because my taste buds are demanding it. Join the fun and stop by Side Piece from 9am to 2pm on Weds or Thurs, an hour earlier Fri through Sun! read more

This place is so adorable!! Found them randomly on Instagram and had to try them out. The decor is so fun and cute, small and cozy feeling. I had to get my food Togo because seating is very limited but I didn't mind. I got the vegetarian biscuit with arugula and fig jam, it was so yummy!! I'll definitely be returning to try the cheesecakes and drinks. Love that this place is so Tacoma and I love it!! Excited to come back when the patio is open for brunch with my girlfriends. Highly recommend!!! read more

Delicious food! Thats all you need to know to want to come here. VERY small place, a few small tables inside. We had a group of 6, sat outside (in November) was a bit chilly but we were there from start to ordering to eating in less than an hour.

Fantastic 70s vibes and incredible food! Great coffee as well. The latkes are delicious!

My first time here, and it left a bad taste overall. The restaurant was busy, with people scattered at small tables and a steady stream of customers at the counter, so I expected a lively yet comfortable dining experience. I ordered the special to eat inside, paid for it, but was then asked to leave after what felt like a minor misstep-- even though I was not disruptive in any way. This incident felt abrupt and uncomfortable. The food was just okay at best; the special didn't hit right, and I barely finished it, walking away still hungry. My wife got the Sizzurup biscuit sandwich--maple sausage, white cheddar, fried eggs, maple syrup, and chives on their buttery biscuit--and even that didn't wow us. The front cashier was genuinely awesome and helpful, though; he was the only real highlight and deserves way more than 5 stars. I went in expecting a chill, welcoming spot with solid food, but it just didn't deliver. Disappointing visit all around. read more

I have been to sidepiece about 6 or 7 times. I would go more often but the only day I have time for breakfast out is the weekends and they are packed. The biscuits and their breakfast entrees are delicious and the cheesecake is legendary. I decided to have a lowkey bday last year and got a bunch of slices of different flavors to celebrate with my friends. The owner, Haley, is a hoot and I love her social media presence. I strongly recommend you get some "dank biscuits and cheesecake". read more

Yikes. I walked in so excited to eat with my partner and said "Hiii!" It was radio silence. The cooks in the kitchen looked at us with a glare and then looked at each other and didn't speak a word to us.

Just wow. This place has some flavor!! It's got insanely fun adult decor from the 70s and some amazing food choices. They sell out probably by noon or sooner usually. Be sure not to lose anyone in your party before ordering if they sneak off for a table.
