It would be nice if they had like the used game store, or the pet store they used to have... or something that people actually wanted to buy. Typically I just go cuz the food courts really good and my wife likes the hair place. It's a good way to kill an hour you just want to browse and look around. I might buy a pair of those cool cowboy boots next time I'm there I've been thinking about it. Prices for that stuff is pretty good

The only downside is that a lot of homeless people are passing by and can be really dangerous coming here at night by yourself. Being extra vigilant at night is a must!

I can't think of a better place to go with a group of people. I love having choices! My friends and I went for a walk at Titlow and decided to come to FHS for lunch. Parking used to be much harder before the parking garage was built for Sound Transit. Plenty of parking across the street now. There's Vietnamese, Mexican, Greek, Fish and Chips, Burgers, Indian, and others I can't remember. The Mexican was pretty typical but the Indian food was delicious! 5 stars for them. Next time, Greek for me. Please, owner/manager of Freighthouse, please create a marketing plan. Get the word out. There was hardly anyone there at noon on a beautiful Saturday. This could truly be Tacoma's Pike Place Market if you slapped a coat of paint on it and power washed a bunch of stuff. I don't want FHS to close and turn into expensive apartments/condos. We don't need that, we need FHS.

The last time I ate at the Uptown Gig Harbor Blazing Onion was 2018 and the food was good. However,…read moreupon my latest visit (July 2021,) I was--to my surprise--greatly disappointed. I ordered the (black bean) vegan burger and a side of coleslaw. The patty on the burger was barely room temperature and immediately fell apart when I took a bite. The condiments were sparse and underwhelming. After two bites I tossed it. The coleslaw tasted like shredded cabbage with plain mayo; the sweet and tart flavors normally associated with proper coleslaw dressing were nonexistent. I am puzzled how any gourmet burger restaurant could botch a burger (and coleslaw) so badly. Based on this disastrous experience I will never eat at another Blazing Onion restaurant.

Since it was such a popular movie, I decided to buy tickets online and pay the two dollar and 50 Cent convenience fee. As I selected my seats, I saw there was a limited number of seats to select from. I figured that only a certain number of seats in the stadium-style were available to be reserved, and if we didn't like those seats we would just sit somewhere and reserved. We were extremely surprised and happy to see that we had amazing seats with lots of room and that our seats reclined and The leg portion Were able to be adjusted individually with the help of electric buttons. We also had movable trays to hold our drinks and anything else. This took your theater is set up so that you don't even see the people in the rows in front of you or behind you. Our tickets for this particular theater cost three dollars more than they would have for the theater in our town, which doesn't even have stadium seating. It was well worth the few extra dollars and will be hard to go back to regular seating, stadium or otherwise!! I ordered tickets for later in the week for my daughter and son-in-law to go out for a date night while I watched my grandson. They were equally impressed and really enjoyed it. I like the Uptown Gig Harbor theater in general and this particular Theater is amazing! The cost was $14.75 to see Star Wars in 3-D. All of the previews were also in 3-D. And if you haven't seen Star Wars, I highly recommend seeing it and seeing it in 3-D in The comfort of this particular screening room.

Yes, this store may be quite sizable, but it is still just the Shoppette of the northern portion of Fort Lewis. Don't get the two mixed up, as the two are on completely different sides of the base. With that said, this is by far the biggest Shoppette I have ever seen, and it even has a food court to go along with it to make it feel almost like a PX of its own. It's basically a large convenience store somewhat resembling a 7-Eleven and carrying all your basic essential items plus some more stuff. The playing cards that they still carry here really caught my attention. You know, for games like the Pokemon TCG and Magic: The Gathering. They sell those cards here, and there's probably a community of people who play these games at The Warrior Zone which is not too far from this building. I came here to shop for some more practical supplies like water, juice, soap, a shaving razor, and four rolls of toilet paper. I was here for a three-day battle assembly and these were the items that I was lacking for that weekend. Prices are reasonable and thankfully do not include tax. Plus, they're open 24 hours a day!
