Food was tasty! It was pretty understaffed when we went in so expect long wait times. But we also went in during weekend peak times and there really aren’t many options around. Food was fresh and really tasty. It’s a little on the spend’ier side but they give larger portions. For 3 meals and 2 drinks we spent over 90 before tip. Would def come here again!

If I told you one of the best Restaurants in washington state was in Hoquiam I would probably get a few raised eyebrows, But here we are! If I was a fabulously wealthy I would intentionally live within walking distance just to have it more often. I have never had one. single. thing. from here that was less than perfection. I left the culinary industry years ago, jaded, tired, and vowing never to return under penalty of death but, this place had me questioning putting in an application just to learn the recipes for personal use! Don't walk, don't run, go to school, study physics/related sciences, graduate with honors, source funding through multiple mediums, and invent a way to TELEPORT here to have exceptional Coffee, food, cocktails, desserts/pastry and 5 star service.

I went for my first time and it was great. I had the Motherclucker, a chicken sandwich that was super crispy. One of the best meals I have ever had. Customer service was awesome, I'll definitely go back when I'm in the area.

We had to wait about an hour but the food was wonderful! We all enjoyed our meals. A great find in this little town.

Great vibe, great food. Don’t be in a rush - it’s popular and they put out top notch food. Friendly staff. One of the very best brunch menus I’ve ever seen. Wow. And then, definitely the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had and probably will have. You can feel it’s the kind of place where everything will be done really well. I can’t wait to come back again and again. Better than anything we have in Olympia for sure. I’d say this place and the Tokeland Hotel are the two best breakfasts on the Washington coast. I can’t even describe the Thai Chicken and Waffles other than to say chicken and waffles have never really worked together for me, until now. Subtle Thai flavors, just superb.

This place looks totally ordinary or even nondescript from the outside - don't let that fool you in the least, inside magic awaits. A fabulous brunch menu that I had difficulty picking one thing out to order because it all sounded so good. I ended up with the Cheesecake French Toast and it was to die for, every bite was just bursting with flavor, and the fresh berries/compote was particularly flavorful. The person I was with had a wrap that she said was also very delicious. If I lived here this would definitely be a place I'd be going more than just a few times.
