So. I think people should differentiate between local bar that plays sports and a sports bar. Tami's fits the friendly neighborhood bar that plays sports (and if polite and not changing what someone is watching they will switch for you) . But don't expect every game so if a Seahawks fan yes if a Browns fan looking not so much (and sorry for your unfortunate allegiance) Okay. Ambiance is standard bar no frills but staff is nice and the food is good. Again I rate food based on what should expect I'm rating for bar food not a Michelin star. Great place for lazy Sunday cocktail or beer after work. read more

New to this area of Tacoma and trying out new places. Went early afternoon during the week and it wasn't very busy. A few people at the bar but no one at the tables. Drinks were poured well. Bartender/waiter was friendly. We did have to go to bar to get a drink refill. Had a pretzel, boneless wings and a pizza. Pretzel texture was good but it was a little cold. Wings and pizza were good and my companion said she would come back for the pizza and to try regular wings. Looks like they have a decent amount of activities and events throughout the week. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening. Was able to catch the Mariners game. Got a few beers, a club sandwich, and a pizza to go. They do have daily specials which is nice. Also have karaoke, but we were a bit early for that. The club sandwich was good, the fries were good--as well as the ranch. They charged extra per topping on the pizza and also charged extra for the box. Service was good. Girl was friendly and patient eventhough she was ending her shift. Would visit again. Pretty chill spot. 3.5 overall read more

It's always fun to go support a local business just to have one of its drunk customers chase you in your car down the street saying you stole their phone. Wtaf?! The white man blames the one minority in the bar because I'm black so i must be a thief. Well let me tell you I park my car cab go back in the bar only to find the phone I "stole" sitting at the pos system with the bartender. I've never been made to feel that shitty before I'll never go back. Enjoy your drunk customers who ran off a good customer. read more

Good, old fashioned, neighborhood get together. Good food. Good people. Highly recommend

i don't really know who would like this bar. smells awful (bleach?), the worst redneck country music playing, ugly concrete and steel railing decor, overpriced crappy beer, expensive frozen food deep fried, and an assortment of lowlife characters that make you wonder how they can afford to drop 50 bucks on heartburn in the middle of the afternoon. read more

My neighbor recommended Thursday night bingo here. It was fun! We had a blast trying to figure out the 80s and 90s songs (and badly singing along to them). The Jalapeño peppers and tots were good. Not gourmet level, but nothing out of the ordinary at a dive bar. read more

Cool jukebox, drinks are fantastic, bar food is the best! Karaoke is awesome. Service is excellent.

To start off, my card was charged $51.22 on top of my $27 original meal and drink. The $51 charge was not authorized by me or was let known at all, I've tried contacting my bank and they say there's nothing they can do , when trying to contact this bar I was trying to explain to Stella of my situation and she told me there's nothing they can do and there are no refunds and rudely hung up before I can mention another word. They straight up stole my card information and charged me for something I did NOT authorize at all. I had a coke and chicken tenders, for a whopping $78??? That's ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I hope the owner somehow sees this review and tries to reach out, this is wrong. Bambi was also my bartender at the time. read more

The wait staff was really nice. We got a pizza and jalapeño poppers The jalapeños poppers I liked. The pizza was meh. I was visiting a friend from out of town and we just stopped in. The pizza was actually in my opinion not very good. I did have a pineapple cider that was DELICIOUS. read more

We just recently moved into this neighborhood and have checked out Tami's twice now. The first time it was taco Thursday so we had a quick bite for lunch and it was good. We went in last night on wing Wednesday and it was great. My boyfriend got the 8 Buffalo wings, not breaded. They were so huge he could only eat 5 which I've never seen happen before. I had the Maui wowie pizza based on a recommendation to try the pizza there and it was SO unexpectedly great! Really good pizza. I can hardly wait to try more pizzas there. Both times the bartenders were great too. A great hole in the wall I'd say. read more

Tami's is a fun little bar in Tacoma that offers bingo on Thursdays and a plethora of TVs to watch sports on game days. They have a decent menu selection and the food is pretty good for bar food. I really enjoyed their wings and I also enjoyed their fried mushrooms. Service is friendly and personable which sometimes can be hit or miss at bars in Tacoma. They seem to pour heavy on their cocktails so keep that in mind and drive responsibly! Salut! read more

I placed a takeaway order for some Buffalo wings. I arrived a little early so I decided to order a drink while I waited for the cook to finish preparing my order. The staff was super nice, and helpful. The lady at the bar was very attentive and made sure my drinks were made quickly.... So quickly I kept finishing my drink before my order was ready! I ordered a black opal and a Green tea shot. I recommend trying both! Also they have $1 Jell-O shots! Great atmosphere, will definitely come back again for another drink. The wings were hot and fresh once I got home, and let me just say they were HUGE! Super tasty and a great deal! read more

Food is still very good, and so is the service. Ordered boneless wings with traditional buffalo sauce, and they were better than anything from the so-called "wing" places. They've got a nice assortment of IPAs on tap too. The place is a bit divey and parking can be tricky, but that's to be expected here in "TaCompton." read more

Love Tami's they karaoke on the weekends and have bomb pizza!! Strong cheap drinks, & friendly bartenders.

First time here. Great place! Amazing staff!!! Food is great! Bartender made my drink just the way I like it. You need to be here for karaoke. Friday nights is the best!!!! read more

No really the bar type but I grew up in the neighborhood , was looking for a great bar to visit for my first few times and I'll tell you feeling at home at this place ! Don't expect the greatest but definitely for a eastside boy very comforting ! read more

First time trying Tami's pizza. Had the Yakimonster delivered, and oh boy was it great! Heaviest pizza box I've ever picked up. No shortage of toppings. Nice crispy crust. Unique flavor. My new favorite Za!! read more

Ordered a pizza to pick up. Tami's was fast! It was more of a bar than I expected when seeing the menu, but I hear there's karaoke sometimes! I went to the bar to pick up my order and it smelled wonderful. While I was waiting. The other customers sitting at the bar had a "regularly there" kind of vibe. I really liked the pizza, I want to explore more of the menu. I'm happy to visit tami's again. read more

Chicken was on point 10/10 French fries were good too prepared and packaged for delivery was great read more

Staff was very friendly, regulars there also friendly and having so much fun. Met with Tami. What an amazing, personal person. You feel like you belong there. I was there on Karaoke night. I hadn't ever done karaoke in public. This time, I had to try it. Felt unsure of myself, but again, the patrons and staff were friendly and encouraging. Let's not forget the food and drinks. The food was amazing. Had the pizza and appetiser sampler. The pizza was done right: thin crust, crisp, and loaded. I had to tease the staff about not having Drambuie or a large collection of Scotch (whisky, no 'e') but did have a nice collection of whiskey, with the 'e'. That being said and maybe making me sound pretentious, it turned out to be a nice way to ice break with Tami when I got to meet her. What I did drink was perfect. You might go in a stranger, but after a long night of listening to the music, singing, and talking with the staff, you 'll leave a friend and wanting to go back. read more

This place has some of the best pizza. I've been coming here for about a year consistently and the pizza is always great. But they are lacking to say the least with the salad that comes with the personal pizza. I order the same thing every time I come and the salad is different every time I've been here. It has consistently gotten worse. There are about three different cooks that I've seen and none of them make the salad the same. But today they've hit rock bottom in the salad department. I honestly come for the side salad as much as I was here for the pizza. Now the last few times the salad has been "NOT GOOD" and I'm not even waisting my time on tonight's salad. I will miss the pizza but they definitely lost a customer today. read more

I have been craving a chicken parm sandwich for awhile now. I saw it on their FB page and I was in the area so I had to stop by. It did not disappoint! So freaking good. The staff was super friendly as well. Plus's they have a foosball table! read more

I went into Tami's during the heat wave. I ordered ball ice and was pleasantly surprised at how much it cooled my body temperature down. I will absolutely go back for food and drinks. read more

Amazing wings! Best I've had in Tacoma by far, just found it on grub hub and glad I did

This place never fails! Food is always so good no matter what you order. My fiancé and I have had their wings, burgers, and chicken strips.

I have been going to Tami's for a couple of years now. The term 'Hole in the wall' fits 100%. If you drive up McKinley you will miss it! But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The people that go there are awesome everyone knows you when you walk in so it's very friendly! Usually I went there for the drinks, but decided on the food. Their sandwiches are very good for bar cuisine. A little on the expensive side but for a dive bar they're up there in my top tier. Matt and Jen are awesome when running the bar service consistent on the drinks, and the beer is cold. Can't beat that. There's trivia, bingo and the usual pool tables and darts in which you can't go wrong there. However, the hard part is some of the things that can be improved. Although the food is good, there is 0 ventilation. 9/10 you will come home smelling of the same equipment in which the food was cooked in. Because of this it is VERY stuffy in there. Yes they keep the back door open but when the front door is closed, you do get that vacuum effect where it forces the air in, but nothing comes out. Temperature wise, it is HOT in there. Even in the winter you will have to go out in the back area or out front to get some fresh air. Cleanliness and dive bars usually don't go hand in hand, but unfortunately this is the same issue. The fans in the upper seating area are greasy and dusty due to the lack of ventilation, and this is the same way with some of the TV's. Some of the seats are the same and some are broken as well. Due to this the ventilation issues, smelling like a fryer when you leave, and some cleanliness issues unfortunately I cannot honestly give Tami's 5 stars. But this place is definitely worth a visit because of the staff, food and the drinks. read more

The fried pickles were amazing. We were disappointed in the pizza's however. The pizza crust were thin and heavy. Very greasy. We ordered the supreme and a two topping. The supreme had very little peppers and hardly any mushrooms. Nice atmosphere, very friendly. read more

Went in tonight after being recommended strongly by one of my clients. I was skeptical because of the area (I live a few blocks down so I know it well.) the atmosphere was happy and everyone got along with everyone else, kinda like Cheers-"where everybody knows your name." I didn't get a drink, I ordered food to go. During my 15 quick minutes of waiting, I read my book but was distracted in a good way by the banter of a couple of gentlemen seated next to me. The staff were professional and welcoming. Maybe one night I'll venture further in to have a drink. It's always pretty rad finding a surprisingly good establishment in a hole in a wall, especially in the hood! One of the patrons even thanked me for trying the place out after I got my food. Couldn't wait to get home and try it. True to its name, it was comforting bar food and packed with deliciousness and love. The French fries were so good! Felt like a home away from my old home in the Key Peninsula. Sort of a small town feel to it. Lots of diversity which I really appreciate. read more

My husband and I loved going here before Covid and enjoy supporting Tami's during and after Covid!

This one wasn't so great.!! Order the Swiss melt and asked to have mushrooms on the side, didn't happen. The platter we ordered which has a lot of stuff, cheese curds were hard, French fries non crisp, pot stickers over cooked. Buffalo sub my husband said was good. Pretzel was hard and over cooked... Please go back to a better cook... This was Saturday night.. read more

I've never been there but I've ordered off yelp and and there wings are legit! And the other food orders was pretty damn good too!
