Love this place! We've come for both breakfast and dinner and both are great, but lean more towards their breakfast menu. Awesome service and amazing views in the warmer months! read more

Topside Bar & Grill - Brisket scramble and breakfast sandwich - American Near Me - Steilacoom, Washington

Came her straight from airport last Friday and glad we did! GREAT FOOD and drinks while sitting at bar! BOY this place got busy! Kinda small but SO WORTH it. Bartender and wait staff great...cooks ON TOP OF IT! read more

I've decided to change my review in Topside as this beautiful location could have so much potential yet it has gone down hill. Their prices are extremely high for subpar food. I initially ordered Mediterranean chicken wrap and it was absolutely dry that I barely could swallow it. That got sent back just to be served yet again another worthless food item. Fried mushroom burger lite had whole friend mushrooms (2 to be exact) Served with what appears to be a frozen Costco burger patty. Overall disappointing read more

If you sit outside, you can catch great views of the Puget Sound, especially during the sunset. Great food and great views. (This review represents my past experiences here; I haven't visited in some time and things may have changed.) read more

Love at first bite! Couldn't imagine giving less than 5 stars! Both service & food were absolutely phenomenal. I was warned about the spice level of my bowl, thoughtful, the level of flavor that still existed over the slow burn was a pleasant surprise. You can tell this place is a labor of love & I would recommended to anyone. The view was beautiful too! read more

Topside Bar & Grill - Caribbean shrimp rice bowl & Mediterranean Chicken wrap - American Near Me - Steilacoom, Washington

We visited the Topside Bar and Grill this past Saturday. I have been wanting to go, but rarely get out to the Steilacoom area, so definitely wanted to stop. When we arrived, it was a very nice little place. There are only about 9 tables outside of the bar, and the bar was all full, so we opted to wait for a table to be cleaned off. In the couple minutes we were waiting, we were offered a drink by the bartender, which I thought was extremely nice! This should always happen. So, thank you for that. We were quickly seated and our server, Kellen, was super friendly and very knowledgeable when it came to beer on tap. It was refreshing to have someone who actually knew something about what they were serving. We decided to share the baked avocado. We both thought it was very good. The avocado is topped with three olive tomato sun-dried tapenade and feta and served with a sliced baguette. We both thought it was very tasty and would definitely order it again. We also decided to get a Portobello wrap, which really could have been good, as it's on a spinach tortilla, with mushrooms, greens, tapenade, carrots, and what was supposed to be crumbled blue cheese. The problem was, it was blue cheese dressing and it basically took over the whole wrap. The fries that came with it were tasty and seasoned well. This would have easily been a four-star review had the mushroom wrap been prepared better and as it was written on the menu. I love the idea of a few blue cheese or gorganzola crumbles, and then maybe some sprouts or blanched asparagus or something. Anyhow, we did enjoy our time, it's a lovely place, and the staff is exceptional. We will definitely come back if we are in the area. read more

They have changed the menu and upped the prices and the food was less than acceptable. I had the fish and chips which were dry and burned to a crisp. My husband had a hamburger that was ok but not that good. Service was very slow. Unless they revert back to their previous menu and quality I couldn't recommend this restaurant and won't be going again. read more

I typically absolutely love this place. Their food is always good, but we had the unfortunate experience of a terrible and unattentive server. She was more interested in talking with her girlfriends at another table, and she basically ignored her patrons.. we timed it 10 minutes standing there talking we weren't served our drinks and our food was getting cold. The bartender had to go over to her to pull her away from those people which she went back to again.. this waitress should question whether she should be in the service industry. The other employees were picking up her slack which is not fair to them or the customers. This was on Sunday, October 22 if the management sees this. read more

My favorite patio ever. And the food and service are great too! There is also a great coffee shop downstairs Definitely a local favorite read more

Topside Bar & Grill - View from the rooftop deck - American Near Me - Steilacoom, Washington

Amazing place!!!! I went here for the first time today and will definitely be coming back!! The waitresses were super fun and nice and I got the Cajun pineapple dish, which was amazing and VERY picture worthy! I loved the whole setup, and definitely want to come back when it's not rainy and we can sit outside. It was a super rainy day but it felt like fun summer in there :)) they also sell super cute clothes, worth the trip just to buy a t-shirt. A great location for a guaranteed super fun time! The only thing that could have made it better was if I got to try the drinks but I went with my in laws, haha. As u can see there is a lot on my bucket list for the next time I go! read more

Great location, good food, decent prices. Topside has an awesome vibe. Located in quaint Steilacoom it has a nice view of the water. The food is a little overpriced but not as much as I've noticed with other restaurants that have to pay a huge water view lease. Fish and chips, fish tacos and the nachos all stand out. Great place to hang with friends on the deck in warm weather. Easy to find parking and a great spot for a post meal stroll! read more

The Topside is the restaurant my family loves to go to when we bring friends into town. The food is delicious, the staff working there is always friendly and attentive, and the interior and views are gorgeous. The outdoor seating during the summer months makes this our favorite- a truly authentic Steilacoom experience! read more

Fantastic service and food. You can't go wrong ordering some fish n' chips and a hot toddy. My only thing I would change is the prices. They are pretty expensive for just ordering 1 entire & the happy hour menu isn't much of a discount. read more

What a view! This place has a beautiful view you'll definitely enjoy. There's indoor and outdoor seating, I love the view so outside we went. It's not a big restaurant but a good enough size. As you walk in the bar is on the left and it has a great atmosphere. They have TV screens for your viewing pleasure and a neat layout. The staff was very friendly, right away we felt welcomed and not just by the staff but by a few chatty funny customers. I ordered Fish & chips with coleslaw and fries. It was delicious. The fish was crunchy just how I like it and tasted fresh. The tartar sauce was tasty and the coleslaw was delicious. It was just right, wasn't too creamy which I like. My husband had their TopSider with Toasted Parmesan egg bread. I had a big bite and it was damn good. His came with fries and a side of salad. Next time we stop by I know what I'll be having since I couldn't have more than a bit of his TopSlider haha. read more

Happy hour or nothing, Clarissa explains it all. Excellent bar back team. I blinked and my tab was over 150$ but the food is good , drinks good, even though their busy they make light conversation with the party. Very welcoming. And it was my birthday, so all the more special kind of evening. read more

My husband loves the fish and chips here, and all of their beer on tap are local. All of their food is amazing, and if it's warm enough to sit outside, the view is breathtaking! read more

Great clam chowder and steamed clams. The view is great! Service is spotty at times and can be slow, but food and views make up for that.

Besides the AMAZING views, we absolutely love the fish n chips here! My husband and I love trying new things, but this is one place that one of us has to order the fish n chips every time. We've tried many other menu items as well, but that is by far our fave! read more

Can be a bit pricey for the item and the menu changes often; sometimes better, sometimes worse because you miss an old fav. Amazing views with the indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Best fish & chips in the area! The servers are friendly and service has always been good. If you can handle the wait times during the summer, check them out. read more

Really great service from such an enjoyable team. The Uptown SOS Biscuit and Gravy was outstanding, the biscuit was buttery and soft and melt in your mouth just like the brisket. And my husband got the french toast which was also sooo moist and cakey and delicious with the cream and strawberries they added. Great song playlist & their style is cute, right on the water. Definitely cant wait to return with my friends! read more

Great breakfast! Delicious, carefully prepared, quality ingredients! Yummy,Yummy,yummy. Nice place for lunch and a good local beer too.

The fish and chips was phenomenal to include the fires the food in general was to die for. The Bloody Mary on the other Gad could have had more flavor and been a little more spicy. My server was Cayla and she was awesome as well. The atmosphere rocked we got here around opening and the sound was covered in fog making it gorgeous then It cleared up and was even better read more

I really wanted love this place. The view was immaculate, amazing and beautiful, although I believe a restaurant should have a good view most importantly it should have good food. I decided to get the half chicken mole & I was excited ! I was craving that sweet salty and savory sauce with some juicy chicken ! Unfortunately I was met with a very low quality version. First of all the chicken was beyond DRY. I gave everyone in my table a bite and they all said that it was so dry it soaked all the saliva they had in their mouths. There wasn't really a lot of "mole" to begin with so that didn't help that aspect. The chicken was also VERY SALTY I was drinking more water than eating chicken. Maybe a little bit of rice would have helped that part?. Our food took forever which I didn't mind because we had the company of the beautiful ocean. Over all great service but food experience was disappointing . read more

YESSSSSS! Topside exceeded my expectations. My fiancé and I were exploring places around us, as we are new to the area. We wanted to check out Steilacoom, so we spent some time at the park down the street and walked around until we were starving. My fiancé saw Topside and suggested it as he wanted some beer with lunch. We got there and it was a 20 minute wait and we were so hungry we were going to wait, especially since it was packed, it had to be good right? Needless to say we came back and got seated by a really kind and funny waiter. I ordered a Cheddar Bacon burger and my fiancé got the Fish & Chips. Everything came out in a timely manner and the presentation was nice. My burger was wonderful and it completely satisfied my burger cravings for a good couple weeks! My fiancé's fish and chips looked so good! And was cooked perfectly and the fresh housemade tartar sauce was what made this a superb meal, you could taste the freshness of the dill and the sweetness of the gerkins. My fiancé loved the beer and my strawberry lemonade hit the spot on a hot day. We finished with dessert to celebrate our new city and new beginnings. We got the triple chocolate brownies a la mode and I melted into a dreamlike trance of happiness. We will definitely be back again, the bar offers views of the ocean, and surrounding islands, beautiful fire tables for cold mornings and nights, and wonderful service. read more

I come here about twice a year because it's the only place in town, and every time I'm disappointed. The food tasted ok, nothing special. But they seriously need to work on the service. I saw many employees walking around not doing much, took so long for someone to come take my order. Then took so long for the food to come out. Then they messed up my order, had to remake it. The waiter gave me an employee discount on that order, $4 off. Then takes so long to bring me the check. I understand that the kitchen can only cook so fast but the waiter staff needs to step it up. They can take orders faster if they stop talking to their friends. I saw our food on the kitchen counter way too long. A girl stopped and looked and it then walked away like it wasn't her problem to serve it, maybe the guy is the only one allowed to bring the food or something? So by the time we got the food it was cold. All this time waiting around, you would think they would at least refill my tea but nope. The servers need to work together. The main restaurant is loud, the other room is way more quiet. This place has a lot of potential if they could just have a better flow for service. For a place being all around slow you would think they could offer free basket of chips or something while waiting over an hour for the food. read more

We stopped by with friends, eager to have them try this wonderful place we found months earlier that served great food, had a wonderful view, and was a enjoyable place to drop in. Well, this isn't the same place. It is now crowded, loud, serves tasteless food and is overpriced. Understaffed, no clams in the chowder. So don't bother with the waitlist. Go elsewhere. Hey, but the coffee joint downstairs is great. read more

Parking for this restaurant is a little hard to find, as there is a little parking garage under the establishment if you don't want to pay for parking. Currently the patio seating is closed FYI. On the weekend it can be a little busy and you may have to wait to be seated. On the inside, it's a beautiful restaurant with great service and seafood. Our bartender was especially helpful and friendly. read more

We found this to be a cute place to have lunch. And maybe even dinner. Would be great in the summer when there is no rain, sitting outside on the patio with the water views. Had a decent Cubano sandwich with a bowl of roasted corn & red pepper soup. The soup was great. When I ordered, the chalkboard and server said it was a basil tomato soup. Got my food and this was no way a tomato soup. Looked up 5 minutes later and see they updated the board. Lol Good beer and wife had a dessert type cocktail. She ordered a grape and prosciutto flat bread and had no complaints. Enjoyed ourselves. Will be back for sure. read more

Whenever we're in the area this is our go to place for lunch and cocktails, great views and good salads. Haven't ever had a bad lunch.

Friendly and fast service. Great rooftop view of Sound, islands, and ferry traffic. 4" high burgers and lengthy list of cold draft beers combine to make this a "try again" locale! Coffee shop on first floor closes at 3. read more

I really enjoyed the food, our server was so nice and attentive.. i just wish they gave more focus on the people seated than their online orders ( which were A LOT, their bar side was filled with paper bags and to go boxes! ) We waited 40-45 minutes for our food, while the other people seated later than us got complimentary appetizers, and we didn't lol. Nevertheless we enjoyed the food and the cocktails, and tipped 20% because y'all know everyone is struggling especially restaurants. Thank you so much for the yummy food! read more

Just went for lunch with the guys and this place was amazing. The fish and chip was highly recommended so I ordered that with some white wine to compliment it and I loved it! Highly suggest coming here. Great patio view during the sunny weather. read more

The food is no better or worse than a good Chili's. I do not go for the food. I go for a drink and the view. Every time I've gone to Topside, the staff were attentive and friendly. Be mindful of the busy hours, as seating inside and outside is limited. Topside has a beautiful view of the South Sound from their patio. Parking is suitable in the building's main lot. You can also find parking nearby. Just be mindful of parking lots that have no parking signs. read more

Great pulled pork nachos. Avocado bread is legit. Mushroom burger was very plain and the tots weren't worth the extra $3. Good beer selection and the staff was very polite. read more

Amazing food. They have wonderful breakfast items and lunch items. Specifically, the best eggs Benedict and fish and chips I have ever had. The chef comes out sometimes and is personable. This place is a gem! read more

Love this little gem in Steilacoom WA. This place sits in the heart of the town with an absolutely amazing view of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain range. During the summer the patio is open. Grab a seat and watch the sun set over the sound. So worth it. The environment is casual and great for happy hour, lunch and dinner. It's not a super big place so be sure to get there early. The staff is fantastic. I've never had bad service. The food is also great! Burgers...salads...sandwiches etc. I haven't had anything I didn't love so far. If you're ever in Steilacoom be sure to visit Topside. Have a glass of wine, beer or specialty cocktail and enjoy the view. read more
