Came here during lunchtime and their menu has a lot of tasty sounding options. I ended up going with a Club sandwich sans tomato with a side salad. When the food came out I was shocked - the sandwich is a hefty serving and cut in half, and I was only able to finish one half! The side salad... That thing was an ENTREE size! Portions here go crazy. The sandwich was delicious. Lightly toasted bread but not so much that it was cutting up my mouth. All ingredients tasted fresh. The side salad was also great!

It's frustrating because I know how good their food can be when it's prepared correctly.

I used to stop by for breakfast, but it would just end up taking a while, and I'm not sure if it was worth the price. If you use the drive-through, be prepared to wait. There are times in the past I have waited at least 20 minutes. The last time I was in the drive-through, there was a huge splatter against the drive-through window. I asked what happened, and they said that soup was spilled when transferring it to a customer. It kind of looked like someone had drove over it and it exploded everywhere. It did not look very appetizing and had not been cleaned up. It's a good location, though, being right across from the mall.

Decided to try this place after I read about them on a best sandwich shop in WA state list. I came in a little after noon on my lunch break, the place was full of people and I got the last single table there. The employee taking orders was patient and suggested several well liked items off the menu and I got the toasted french dip sub. This was hands down the best sandwich I have ever tasted! Better than anything I have tried at any popular food chain! Decently priced for a filling meal, came with a side of au jus and house salad. Place never slowed while I was there. I will be back to try something else. Good to see a small business and hard working staff get recognized! read more

Stopped by The Pickled Pepper on Main Ave and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they don't cut corners. The service was friendly and attentive without being over the top, and the whole place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you want to hang out a little longer. If you're anywhere near downtown, it's absolutely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back. read more

Both the side salads were delish and you can tell they're homemade. Tons of dill in the pickle potato salad, super yum! The cold brew was the best cold brew I've ever had in all of Washington. I am not a black coffee person, when I tell you I could've drank the cold brew straight up, no pecan foam, this is a damn good cold brew (but also make sure to get The Brown Pecan cold brew because The Brown Pecan is a mother daughter duo from Tacoma and they deserve the world ). The sandwiches are so good, you could probably close your eyes and point to a sandwich and it'd be the best you've ever had. Now the cake... Let me tell you, my mother is not a dessert person. She rarely takes more than one bite, unless it's an affogato (her fav)... She almost ate the entire slice of cake! Not only that, she then ordered another slice of the same cake to take home.

The hostess/server asked us if we wanted anything to drink and I asked for water and coffee. I was surprised that she came out with a carafe of coffee!! All for me!!

They do offer senior items but it didn't say what age qualifies as 'senior'. Maybe 55? 60? Not sure. I ordered a pancake and my daughter ordered a vegetarian omelette with hash browns. We just decided to share our food. The omelette was packed with onions, mushrooms, bell peppers and cheese and was very good. The hash browns were crispy, just the way I like it. The meal also came with your choice of toast, biscuit or sourdough and my daughter chose the sourdough. She said it tasted old so she didn't take a second bite of it. The pancake was yummy.

I woke up the next morning to an additional $20 tip added to my credit card for a total of $108 on my card + the cash tip. I immediately called as soon as I saw the charge (10am) and the woman who answered the phone was extremely catty. She took my number, told me the manager/owner was out and would return my call within a couple hours. I gave it until 12:45, called again, and was told he was still out. Between my husband and I, we had to call SIX times to get ahold of a manager/owner. It took 7 hours to get hold of the manager/owner Kevin -- who was apparently grocery shopping for 7 hours according to his staff. Initially I was only asking for the extra $20 the waitress had taken from me back but after having to disrupt my entire day and deal with this horrible experience for subpar food, we asked for a full refund. I woke up this morning (8/21) to a $0.00 credit being returned to my card. LOL We own a restaurant and have a combined 30+ years experience in food & bev. This experience has been shameful on Homestead's part. The subpar guest experience was not enough to complain about on its own but it has been INCREDIBLY frustrating to take time out of our busy schedules trying to get ahold of someone to fix this issue. While the tip refund is appreciated, we are in the right to ask for a full refund. At this point, we will be disputing the entire charge with our bank and will never return.
