All I wanted was a steak salad. I came here a few months ago during a friend's crisis and had my first experience in this establishment. Clean floors, tables, and bar as you walk in with friendly smiles from the staff who let's you know to seat yourself. I didnt know what was good here, but my friends got a steak salad that day and I got something else and now all I want is their steak salad. So steak salad was ordered with meat to med rare and they served it with extra dressing today it seems. There's onions, Bleu cheese crumbles, tomatoes, and mixed greens in a huge bowl. Its hits everytime! Definitely a must when you come inside! read more

We're here for a pre wedding party. A tent was set up for our group with about 6-7 tables a getting to meet type event with friends and family. There was plenty of room and the putting green was steps away. Food was ok with chicken skewers, beef and other options. There was table service for alcohol which was nice. Service was very good. Bathrooms were just inside the clubhouse and a full bar was available. A nice setting. Mark. read more

Resturant has great service and great food, unfortunately it's golf shop has zero consideration for its guests and after having a golf cart with a flat tire, died on hole 13 and pushing the cart back ,we were told, we should have called the shop on the back nine. We will be sticking with lake spanaway for our future golf matches and tournaments. Thanks Elliot read more

This place delivers some great breakfast! Stopped here the other day and the food was even better than usual. Probably the best we've had in town. Incredible fresh biscuit. Service is excellent as well. Ask for your hash browns crispy! read more

Had a great experience since they remodeled the restaurant. Came in on a Sunday and although busy, the service was prompt. I ordered the Ruben sandwich while others ordered the blackened chicken, burgers and the club. All the food was great but the star of the show goes to the blackened chicken. read more

We ate here today for the first time since it reopened under new ownership. The food was very good. We had the garlic parmesan wings. They were perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also had a blt and a burger. Both came with fries. Everything was very tasty and exceeded my expectations. Room for improvement: we both enjoy mustard rather than ketchup on our burgers, sandwiches, and fries. They did not have mustard. They brought us honey mustard but said they did not have just mustard. I hope they get some. Otherwise everything was good. read more

This place is great. I've eaten here 4 times in the last couple weeks and it's been excellent each time, great food and great service. It has rapidly become my favorite restaurant in Yelm. read more

Came here for a random early dinner. We showed up around 4:15pm or so and it was pretty quiet. There was us and 2-3 other parties there. The restaurant space was very clean and according to something I overheard, they got new dining chairs. Our waiter was Scott and he was very friendly and helpful. We had a table by the window and it was a nice few of the putting green. They have a decent size menu. I ordered a half turkey sandwich with a couple of soup that came with a salad (probably should have gotten something more adventurous, but I was not very hungry and it sounds good). My husband got the Taco Salad. Initially I thought the prices seemed a little high, but I guess that is typically for restaurants nowadays. I will says the portions were good size. My meal came with a side salad as well and my sandwich had a decent amount of turkey on it. The clam chowder was yummy. My husband's taco salad was huge and came in a large taco shell. He said he would get it again. The food came bout fairly quickly, but then again it wasn't super busy. I would come back, I would be interested in trying their brunch. read more

Food had good flavor but I'm disappointed in the missing ingredients on my dish. I ordered the vegetable pesto pasta and it says its made with mushrooms, onion, spinach, and topped with fresh cherry tomatoes. There was no spinach or fresh tomatoes. read more

Nice outdoor area at golf course to eat and relax, we ordered the pastrami reuben, asian chicken salad, and chicken strips for the kids. Reuben was very good with delicious pastrami (not corned beef), but asian chicken salad was so so. The lettuce and veggies were fine, but nothing really seemed "asian" except they added some crunchy "wonton" noodles i guess? The crispy chicken on the salad had this strange rubbery texture, as if it was imitation chicken, which is odd because the chicken strips for my kids were pretty good and looked like actual chicken. Overall, it was a nice spot to eat and drink, but I'd stick to their sandwiches and burgers rather than the asian chicken salad. read more

I've been in here about five times. I live down the street and I appreciate the nice venue. The scenery, the service is pretty nice. Nice. But tonight I think it's going to be. My last time. My daughter and I came in to have a late lunch early dinner and we ordered the chicken fried chicken sandwich and a club sandwich with french fries each for $18. My daughter's chicken fried Chicken was so salty. You actually felt like you were going to go into vapor lock. She gave me a taste of it and it was absolutely inedible. She had a peel off all the coating and we did tell the waitress after the fact you know she wasted most the food. The fries were I think I counted 10 of them on my plate. Not very generous considering a sandwich is $18 and then you're charged over 11% for tax which is outrageous. You shouldn't be charging any tax on food. If I'm going to pay that much tax I'm not going to leave a tip. This is outrageous... My meal was a club sandwich which was good. Again I had 10 french fries on my plate. Had a diet Coke and the service is good. They kept checking on us but the food is underwhelming. And it was not busy when we were there so there's really no excuse. You need to change the coating to the chicken fried chicken and not put so much salt in it that people are going to have high blood pressure... I think this is the last time we'll be in. read more

Our first dining experience at Tahoma Valley Bar & Grill was an Awesome Experience. There was no waiting period for us during our Lunch Meal. After our Waitress received our order it was prepared and delivered to us Very Fast. Our Waitress (Kirsten) was Very Professional, Courteous, and Expedient. The newly renovated Bar & Grill area Looks Great and the Food was Delicious. We Highly Recommend Tahoma Valley Bar & Grill for any meal of the day if you like Great Food, Terrific Service, and an Awesome Ambiance. read more

The corned beef hash isnt homemade it's from a non-perishable tincan. The corned beef hash did have a nice flavored crust on the surface. One thing I'll say is portions were big. I can see Yelm local coming here for their dine out breakfast. I enjoyed my plate Thanks Blake read more

We started with the calamari, very tender and delicious. I am a Lemon Drop smob...very tasty. Lunch was fish and chip..again very tender and delicious. This will be out "Go-To" restaurant. The new look of tne restaurant is refreshing, updated and so clean. I forgot to mention the clam chowder that came with the fish, again very delicious. The service was efficient and friendly, what a change from the OLD restaurant. read more

Yuck, yuck, yuck! Why would they even bother operating a restaurant when it's so bad. I had a bad feeling about the place when the table was dirty and noone seemed concerned. As I tried to wipe off the mess it must have been there so long that it was embedded into the table! Service was trying yet obviously overwhelmed. I actually felt sorry for them. Came for breakfast and the coffee to start was weak and barely drinkable. The "Putt" breakfast wasn't much better. My eggs were runny and cold, the sausage greasy and quite disgusting. The red potatoes were so badly burned and hard that they could break teeth. Hardly had a bite of them. The only redeeming item was the biscuit, quite good, albeit cold and absolutely no butter to be found. One of my dining companions ordered a Bloody Mary and besides the unappealing color of the drink it had this absolutely ridiculous piece of bacon limply hanging off the side. So people said breakfast is better than dinner. Best I never return for either. Sad excuse for a dining spot. Perhaps stick to golf? read more

Brenda is a staple staff member. The food is good but really I think we go there for Brenda lol. She's a great waitress and will listen to your order and when you need accommodation for something she does what she can. No takeaway from the other ladies who serve us in Brenda's absence because they too are great. We almost exclusively come here for breakfast now. read more

Well, if you're a golfer in need of a drink or snack ok you've got someplace close. If you're just out in the area looking for something to eat, keep looking cause this place isn't worth the stop! I've been here a few times and reviewed it a few times, this however is the last time! Slow service, literally heard the microwave clicking off and on several time (says all you need to know) YUCK! read more

Not family friendly waitress cussing in front of my 3 and 5 y/o. She also didn't know the menu it was obvious she wasn't a new employee. She tried to be funny and play it off with a half hearted apology but I just found it to be more unbecoming. The food was blah pretty bland. If you look up the place the pictures you'll find is only for show. Nothing about this place was pleasant. read more

TERRIBLE food!! Ordered a french dip with soup. The cheddar broccoli soup was almost a solid mass, cold, and flavorless. The $14 sandwich was barely the size of a dinner roll, with just a few pieces of dry roast beef on it. It was a to-go order so I have nothing bad to say about the servers, but the person in the kitchen should embarrassed about putting food like this out. read more

Wow! What a high quality breakfast! Dark Golden egg yolk eggs, thick bacon that's not too fatty and not too salty. Biscuits and gravy was nice too. Hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable. She checked in just at the right time too. read more

A couple of years ago we ate here and I had their fried chicken and it was frozen on the inside when I bit into it (FYI they did "make it right" for me that day). I had a suspicion then that their food wasn't of great quality. But we have been in many time since then and the food was okay. We have since moved away from Yelm but we were in town last night and hungry so we stopped in. There are few good restaurants in Yelm - in fact, the only great one is Gather Gastropub, which I wish we had gone to instead. But getting back to my review.... The special was a monte cristo sandwich so I ordered it. Oh my gosh was I disappointed! It was obviously made hours ago as prep and just reheated. The inside was ice cold!! Terrible kitchen practices!!! Monte Cristos are so easy to cook fresh.... preasswmble the sandwich but don't dip it and cook it ahead of time!! That's just stupid because it doesn't take but a few minutes to cook. It was soggy on the outside and cold on the inside. Major fail to the kitchen because had it been cooked properly, it would have been good. I could tell the flavor was there but I couldn't get past the icebox cold sandwich on the inside. I would have given one star for the food but I'm giving two stars for the review because the waitress was on point and she made really good drinks. Booooo to the kitchen though. read more

I have been back twice now and the service has been great! Finally. Attentive waitress and the food was fresh, tasty and good quality. Hubby and I will return. We had dinner and breakfast so far. Menu selection is good and not overly priced. Lots of choices but nit overwhelming. read more

Told to sit at uncleared table. Waited 20 minutes and not one wait person even looked at us. Husband went up to bar, stood for 15 minutes before getting a drink. Now 35 minutes in, still waiting for our table to be cleaned and a menu. Waiting..... getting ready to leave..... We are one of three tables getting the same treatment! Happy Valentines to us! And now a lady is walking around handing out bingo cards on Valentine's Day at a golf course restaurant?!?! Soo, NOT romantic. Waited more than an hour and still no food!! BAD CHOICE! read more

We stopped by for lunch. Service was great , only one server while we were there. Food was ok, typical diner food so lacking flavor. Nice view. read more

Do not come here if you are trying to catch a bite before you tee off. Takes an hour to get your food. Only 5 tables with people at them.

I don't come here very often. I don't know why because I do enjoy my meal when I have come. I have only had lunch and dinner. Today I had the taco salad, minus jalapenos. It was good! My favorite taco salad would have black beans and corn, which weren't in theirs. Service here is good. read more

Do yourself a favor: Eat here! The food is fabulous - I have high expectations, so for me to say that means something. The menu is well rounded. The service is phenomenal!!! The prices are spot on for the great quality and generous portions. As a New Englander, my heart was happy to see the homemade New England Clam Chowder on the menu. My tastebuds definitely appreciated it. The potato skins are the best I've had - fresh tomatoes! Enough said! My husband and I are looking forward to returning regularly to try the rest of the menu! My tastebuds are still thanking me!!! read more

Decided to try Tahoma Bar and grill an were pleasantly surprised. Nice atmosphere. My husband had a burger dip and I had a French dip. Both were very good and flavorful, the fries were awesome! The only reason I give um 4 stars was cause of their 1000 island, I am a salad lover and love to dip my fries, I did not care for theirs at all, WAY to pickle tasting for my taste. Other than that we will def go back. (Fingers crossed they change the way they make their 1000 lol) * i have to edit my review, went there for dinner tonight and got the French dip again because it was delicious the first time, NOT this time, it was nothing but fat and grissle, Couldnt eat it. Was disgusting. I've never heard of using rib eye steak for a dip but apparently they saved all fatty bits for my sandwhich. They wouldn't/couldn't take it off my bill cause only a manager can do that, so she gave me 20% off. Thought we found a local go to place, NOPE. We won't be back read more

Great salads. Yelm favorite salad is good. Sometimes isn't as loaded as other times. Definitely worth a stop for lunch! Family goes in on sundays after church. Not bad pricing. Great people too! read more

Best place for food or drinks in Yelm. I've probably been here 50 times and the place has never disappointed, except when certain staff members weren't working. Don't get me wrong all the staff here are great at their jobs, but one of the bartenders is one of the hottest women you'll see in this life and she certainly adds to the atmosphere. read more
