Upon looking at reviews of their pot pie, I was looking forward to have one for dinner. I went here for dinner with girlfriends. The atmosphere was very friendly, and our waitress was great. It was a Saturday night and it was busy. We didn't wait long for our dinner. My pot pie arrived and it looked scrumptious. The crust was flaky and portion was huge. Unfortunately, the carrots in my pot pie was still very raw. My chicken was pink- I'm not sure if it was fully cooked. So I basically ate only the crust. For a $25 pot pie- I was highly dissatisfied. The flavor was good. I don't know if I will come back. But if I do - I will try to give them another chance. I gave three stars for all the other good things. They lost 2 stars for the pot pie. read more

Our service was great! Love the vibe in this restaurant and it's very clean. I haven't had a burger for ages, and the avocado bacon burger hit the spot. read more

DAN IS THE MAN! To start, Dan the server is an awesome guy. Easily the nicest waiter we have ever had. They were busy beyond belief and Dan took great care of us. Our food accidentally got given to another table so we had to wait 10 minutes longer. They gave us $2 off our drink and free dessert. Neither was necessary because how great the service prior was. The food was magnificent. The chicken pot pie was full of big chunks of carrot and chicken. The puff pastry was done perfectly. The tortellini with butternut squash was a 10/10 from my wife. The perfect amount of sauce with a good tortellini and great roasted squash. We had vodka and peach lemonade which was fantastic. The dessert that was given to us was huckleberry ice cream. This was also super good, big chunks of huckleberry in it. The ONLY downside is the location. The fact that it is downtown Olympia where some of the downside hangs out, kind of defeats the purpose of sitting outside. The inside was great though. We will definitely be returning here. Thanks again Dan for the hospitality. read more

Decided to stop in here based off all the good reviews. Yelp did not disappoint. Ordered the avocado bacon burger and upgraded to the Wagyu patty. 1000% worth the upgrade. The service was great and this place had a great vide / feel to it. Lots of drink choices with the full bar. Will definitely be back the next time we drive through. read more

Bustling, cheerful restaurant with a really good Sunday brunch/lunch. Service was over and above, despite being slammed with business. Really nice people and a shoutout to bar tender who was also waiting side tables and helping out. We had delicious salads, but other folks were having eggs benedict that looked fantastic. read more

On a day trip down to Olympia for work and we found this local gem! Stopped by for a quick lunch with some coworkers and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food, friendly service, and relaxed vibe of this restaurant. I got the steak salad and my coworkers got the "BIG burrito" and the cod tacos. All were delicious, well-seasoned, generous portions, and beautifully plated. The happy hour specials were pretty good, we ordered a plate of the brisket poutine for ~$9 and it was a large portion! Overall, if you're in the Olympia area and need a quick lunch, definitely check out the Uptown Grill and support a local business! read more

The waiter was so nice/friendly and made us feel welcomed. Great ambiance and decor at the restaurant. We were seated quickly on a Saturday night around dinner time. The chicken pot pie was delicious and I would come back to Uptown Grill again to order the exact same thing. You could tell that it was made from scratch and a lot of effort was put into it. The ratio between the puff pastry and the filling was perfect read more

Best food I've had hands down since moving here, I ordered from Uber eats and they followed every order note. It was fresh and healthy and so well packaged! I'm obsessed! I have to go in person now, it smells so good and it's so much food! I had to call them just to declare how wonderful the experience was, I mean soooo good, yall! lol read more

Great service and staff. Accidentally received the wrong takeout order and they were very kind, quick, and accommodating

The food is fine, the vibe is casual, and the prices... OUCH. I paid $50 for a burger and two beers after tip, y'all. I'd say Uptown Grill is for reimbursed meals. I suspect that the main clientele are business travelers and employees on lunch who will save the receipt for reimbursement. If you wander into Olympia for an off-the-clock meal though, I'd say that the current price point does not match the quality of food and overall experience. There were also small issues that happen at any local joint and Uptown Grill can easily remedy in the future, like unavailable items or an old menu with outdated prices. However, higher prices create higher expectations. And seeing that my "fine" burger was $20 after I ordered from out of date menu... Oof. That was unexpected. read more

Been here a few times and has never been disappointing - food is great and love the different cocktails and the adult shakes! Brought friends and they enjoyed it also! read more

Our waiter was Kaitlyn D and she was amazing! We went here for our dinner before our school dance and she was the move kind and sweet person ever. I hope everyone gets as an amazing experience here as we did. the food was amazing and the service was quick. Highly recommend love Kaitlyn! read more

Great food, good service, nice place. Our Fish and chips were very good, the chicken mac & cheese, very good. BUT, they will tack on an extra hidden "Scratch Kitchen Commisson" charge on to your bill. Really? Aren't they making the food from scratch anyway? I would hope so. This is quite lame on the part of the management. Just pay your staff or charge entree's accordingly. BTW, does this even go to the Kitchen staff or is this just another way to pile price gouge? Pretty ugly either way. We did not stiff our excellent waiter, but really this stealth fee will keep me from going ther again...Dear reader, you shouldn't want to normaize this either. read more

Absolutely amazing burgers! The veggies are still cool and crisp when you take a bite, so you know your burger is super fresh and hasn't been sitting under a heat lamp for ages. We were only in Olympia for a few days, but ended up eating here twice because we liked it so much. The vibe is casual and inviting, and all of our servers were absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend this spot! read more

We visited for my father in law's birthday on a Sunday. They provided a space in a back room to accommodate our group and were very attentive to our needs and the children who were with us. The drinks and brunch food were all great, but the service is what would bring us back for another visit. read more

Fast service and crisp fresh food with a cozy sports bar vibe on a rainy day. The most friendly bar tender took care of everything and more. I ordered a two ounce pour of Lagavulin with french fries and cauliflower wings which were both quite yummy. The house-cut French fries were a cut above your regular French fry ordered and paired with the cauliflower I felt healthy. I randomly decided to drop in to Olympia on a road trip around Olympic and was ravenous after climbing down a mountain, my classic order prepared in a new location saved the day read more

Had a great date night with a friend. It was our first time there. A shout out to Dennis our waitperson. He was engaging, prompt, and knew that line between being present to speak to our needs without being overbearing. We really enjoyed meeting him. This is another one of Olympia's upscale restaurants. You're greeted with a lot of noise as you enter. The acoustics shoot a lot of patron noise to the front door so be sure to sit on the raised platform near the bar or in the second room of you want a quieter experience. I had the fish and chips and my friend had the chicken pot pie. Both were very good. You'd think living in the Pacific NW good fish and chips would be served at most restaurants. Nope. It's almost always prepared with too heavy a batter. Uptown Grill crafted a delicious version that was breaded just right and fried to perfection. The chicken pot pie looked delicious and my friend said it was very good. The one negative element was my martini. I asked for a dirty martini with a twist of lemon and olives. The drink was fine but the presentation was lacking. One olive and a twist dropped into the glass. If they charge 12 bucks for a drink I'd hope they'd craft its appearance to match the cost. Didn't stop me from ordering second, though. I was thirsty!! read more

Oy vey, the poutine - please get it. And enjoy! It's smothered in pulled pork and gravy and cheese curds. It's so tasty! The chicken wings are good, but a little sweet, and I'm not much for sweet, but that never stops me from eating a few at each visit. And just know that they only have one flavor of wings. The beef stroganoff is delish. I saw a guy eating it while I was waiting for a table and I was inspired to order. There's a touch of red wine in the sauce and the noodles are fettuccini. Big tender chunks to beef with a dollop of Daisy. Tee hee hee. The drinks are great too, and they have a wide variety of booze to choose from. I haven't had anything here that I didn't enjoy! Try it all! And then keep trying it! read more

Amazing as always! We got the spicy fried chicken sandwich and the chicken quinoa and kale bowl. They were both amazing. The spiciness of the chicken wasn't too hot. It was perfect. I also got the classic old fashioned. Very delicious as well. Can't wait to come back. read more

Got the poutine ($9.75 at happy hour price) and the Mediterranean Steak Bowl ($15). The food came out slowly and they forgot our poutine but it was busy so totally understandable. The steak was cooked well. The bowl was smaller than expected but it was filling and flavorful. Poutine came on a nice hot pile of fries - no cheese curds as it traditionally has but queso freso was a nice twist. All the people on the staff were super nice and friendly :) A couple of outdoor seats with heaters. read more

Currently, one of the best brunch locations in Olympia! Neighborhood bar and cafe vibe. Packed on a Sunday morning with locals (always a good sign). Service was a little slow, but food was tasty, hot, and priced well. Enjoyed the protein scramble and the huevos rancheros. Would also be a great spot for a beverage with friends, watching a game, etc. Large room next door (former Batdorf and Bronson coffee location) is now part of the restaurant (and available for large groups for an extra fee.) read more

The food was terrific. Service was fast and the ambiance was tasteful. Try the chicken pot pie!

We visited at the beginning of November, when indoor dining was still allowed. This place got quite busy for lunch on a weekday. Food were pretty good: Salmon Cake (from the Happy Hour Menu), Philly Cheese Steak sandwich (good size, enough to share by 2), and Braised Pork Poutine (a bit dry, can use some gravy it sauce). read more

Dan is the man!! So accommodating and super friendly!! We went today for lunch and had our puppy with us. They brought out another table and sat 7 of us outside. The roast dip sandwich and fries were delicious and others in my patty enjoyed their food as well. They had chicken pot pie, Mac and cheese and the burgers. Would love to return the next time I am visiting Olympia. read more

First time in for lunch, we usually do dinner.

The food was so very fresh and flavorful. Their salad was farmed locally and the mixed greens had the best fresh flavor. I definitely would eat here once a week if I could. Wonderful variety of fresh options. You'll love it read more

Hubby had pasta and loved it! I had salad and it was sooo tasty. We shared charred broccoli yes! Took home desserts -- double brownie and a berry pie!!' Like Mom made in the 1950s!! We will return! read more

Service was great. I order pork belly tacos. I should have known not to order Mexican at an American restaurant. Damn near the worst tacos I've ever had. The meat was flavorless but let's start with the tortillas that were stale, cabbage didn't make sense, and by far the absolute worst was the sauce they put on it. It taste like mayonnaise. It's a travesty to put mayo on a taco. The sides too, rice taste like it came out of a minute bag and the beans tasted like it was out of a can. My kids Mac and cheese was good so it might just be the tacos that were bad. read more

Our waitress Charlene was absolutely wonderful at giving accurate recommendations of the food. I had the broccoli, poutine fries, and the chicken sandwich. The poutine fries and broccoli were stellar. The chicken sandwich was pretty good. I would definitely go back. read more

The food, the service and the overall feel was really good. We will definitely be going back.

I just came back from my 2nd visit to Uptown Grill and I'm still surprised at how everything that comes out of the kitchen tastes like magic. It's a very bright, airy restaurant with a variety of fare on the menu. Top it off with friendly staff, and I'm sure this will become a favorite of yours, too. Highlights: - Smoked Salmon Plate - Pork Carnitas Tacos - Hummus appetizer - Chicken Pot Pie ..I'll add more as I try more! read more

This is a lovely little spot! Great ambience and yummy food, good service. I ordered the butternut squash salad with salmon. The seasoning on the salmon was very good and the sauce that was drizzled over the whole thing was delicious! The flavors were scrumptious. I also ordered a whisky sour (my favorite drink) and that was very tasty,as well. I highly recommend! I'm seriously considering a two hour drive just to eat here again! read more

Really great salads! We enjoyed the fresh ingredients, generous portions, and quick service :)

Wanted a steak, but too expensive. Service and ambiance was great. Chicken pot pie was very good and cocktails were delicious.

Chicken pot pie is fantastic. So delicious and nostalgic. Hard to find in the dining climate. Eat it all!

We were passing through Olympia area and decided to check Yelp for a restaurant recommendation and Uptown Grill was popular fellow Yelpers. When we arrived, we were greeted with a smile and seated quickly. All started right on track, water and menus delivered, drink order taken and a nice server with a good personality. The server returned to take our food order after I watched her deliver cocktails to the table that ordered after us. No big deal, but I ended up after 10 minutes going up to the bar and ordering them myself. The food was dropped off by a new server, and didn't have any contact with anyone until our plates were taken. Seems like maybe we came on an off day. Food was very good, ordered the salmon fettuccini and the stroganoff. read more
