    I met up for lunch with a friend at the Forum. We shared fried pickles which comes with a side of sauce, almost like a "Mac sauce" flavor. Really good! My friend ordered a Mac and cheese dish with meat added, while I had a soup and salad combo. The garden salad was a great size, I was surprised! A lot of other places give you a "side salad" portion, but this is a full sized salad. The French onion soup was perfect, my favorite. The staff were friendly and cool to let us eat and chat for a few hours. It's a cool place in downtown Puyallup for a bite to eat at a rustic style restaurant with popping music and great food!

    I know my boyfriend's aunt loves this place so I wanted to check out this spot as she has great taste in food. We stopped by on Sunday as their happy hour looks great and this is one of very few places that serve a Jucy Lucy. I got the beef onion bisque while my boyfriend got the Jucy Lucy. The soup was super salty, I could barely eat it as it just felt like I was slurping salt. There was also barely any meat in there and just lots of onion. The bruschetta that came with it was nice. The Jucy Lucy was the star though and it was delicious. The fries that came with it as well as their fry sauce was absolutely amazing. The service was okay. It seemed not too busy and it seemed like there was a table ahead of us in terms of receiving their food but it took some time. I did ask the waitress for some lemons for my water but she forgot and they checked on us twice. She did drop off a huge bottle of water when she noticed my boyfriend's glass was half empty. The decor here felt like a modern-rustic feel and they had some great music playing. The lighting is an intimate dim where you can see everyone and where you are going. The bathrooms here was clean and organized. I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items and drinks but was disappointed with my soup.

    Decided to go check out this place with my husband and didn't realize it's Friday night! It was so busy when we walked in. Glad we found a spot upstairs. The server was really kind and sweet! Got the good vibe from him!!! The floor a bit sticky but it makes sense since it's a bar and it's Friday night. We got Mac and cheese balls, and WOW They are HUGE! I feel like that can be a meal itself and it's way too much for 2 people if you having other food! We got Mai Tai and Raspberry Lemoncello Spritz! They tasted AMAZING! It didn't not taste strong but we felt a bit buzz after we done with the drinks! My Cuban sandwich tasted so good, the bread toasted perfectly, and seasoned so well. There was another server brought us the food and she gave us so many different dipping sauce to try!! My husband loved the burger, it has a kick from the jalapeño. If you like some spice, definitely try that burger. Overall, I had a good experience and we were vibing with the 2000s throwback music!

    Delicious! I love trying new places when I'm out of town and this place was so cute and had great food! Huge portions, I would share if I came again. The taco salad was amazing!!! The bruschetta was also very good!

    We really enjoyed the atmosphere but the food was not the best. The fried pickles I could not even eat, the amount of salt on them was brutal. Our Caesar salad had VERY dry chicken and they did not bring out silverware for both of us. We attempted to ask but had to get up and approach the waitors and three were in the back on their phones. They did have great drinks and you could tell the bartender was working her butt off! I think we may try it again for a second review.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and it did not disappoint! I was most interested in trying the infused alcohol. The flight was amazing! We got the Pineapple Vanilla Infused Vodka, Blackberry Bourbon, Blueberry Infused Gin & Jalapeño Tequila. They were amazing! Perfect notes of fruit or spice. The Gin was herbal forward. My favorite was the Pineapple. Fruity, sweet, just delicious!

    This spot had me dreaming about their fried pickles they next day! If you are a pickle lover, you must order their fried pickles. For cocktails, I ordered their infused tequilas: it was a jalapeño pineapple margarita. The first one wasn't as spicy as I would have liked, so I ordered it again but with added jalapeños and it was delicious! We just came here for cocktails but I'd love to come back and try their other drinks! Server was super friendly and attentive and their bathrooms are clean!

Nothing was terrible, but for an average of $20 a plate, I expect better than average flavor. Everything just tasted... "meh." Like it needed one more round of seasoning (was ANY seasoning used?) before leaving the kitchen. Service was good. Nothing remarkable or outstanding to brag about but decent. And then there's the smell. Sweet Baby Jesus - IT. IS. BAD. The second you walk in, you get hit with a sewer/porta-potty odor so strong it's impossible to ignore. We honestly cut dinner short because no one wants to enjoy a meal while feeling like they're dining inside a gas station restroom. I guess that was a win for our wallet since we only ordered 1 beer each ‍ This place has SO much potential, which honestly makes it even more disappointing. Guess we'll wait another 2 years before giving it another try. Such a bummer.

Stouts, lagers, pales, IPAs, a good variety. The staff is always making you feel welcome and are pretty attentive. The food is delicious, we pretty much go with burgers and they are always good and pretty tall. 5 stars for sure.

This is a typical dive bar with regulars at the bar looking hazily at their libations. Soft rock played in the background and lots of high tops beside the bar. I was asked to order and picked out deviled eggs and nachos! How could you go wrong even if they were so so? Well, the joke was on our friend because they were delicious! The deviled eggs had bacon crumpled on top with sliced green onions and were served on a bed of greens! The nachos were well covered and must have been prepared in layers. Dive bars can have great food!

Typical dive bar and on…read morethe weekends has great energy and a mix of every type of human that walks the earth. - I don't know what changed from a few months ago, but our "experience"" last weekend was awful. My daughter had just turned 21 and we wanted to take her out, so about 10 of us headed into Bumpy's. The second we walked in we were greeted with eyerolls and a very bi**hy attitude from the bartender. Before we could even order, she yells "We don't serve anyone with a vertical". Okay - well apparently you don't like tips then? In Washington you can't get your horizontal until AFTER you turn 21. So that means the day of your 21st - you're going to have a vertical and probably will have it for the next 3-6 weeks after. Initially they tried to tell us it's the law. WRONG. The only law is that the establishment has to check the birthdate and the photo. The staff at Bumpy's wanted no part of that - which, how lazy can you get?! Call me crazy but I don't think many kids with fakes are going to get a VERTICAL fake! Use your brains Bumpy's. If the liquor board is on your a$$ for serving minors - it's not because you're serving people with vertical IDs. It's because you aren't checking the birthdate and the photo on the HORIZONTAL ID to begin with - and you clearly don't own a scanner. Zero reason to greet customers so rudely. Just bad business all around. Too bad, too.. We're good tippers. That bartender could've made about $300 just off us.
