“We had the kickin chicken from here. Best crispy chicken and sauce I’ve had in a long time! It was advertised as “tenders” but don’t let that fool you, these were full breasts and they were so juicy. Great testing breading and the kicking sauce blew me away. The sides (Mac and cheese, hot beans and cornbread) were outstanding. Was greeted very nicely when I walked in for my pickup. The area is kinda sketch(motel next to it), but that doesn’t affect the food. Just thought I’d add that in. Will definitely come back and try the bbq (side note: we get the breakfast tacos every other weekend, they’re delicious). ?“

“If you're wondering where to go for a cool brunch, look no further. We went to Manuscript for Sunday brunch, and I am still thinking about it on Thursday! The staff was quick and polite, and the food was excellent. The place has a cool vibe, the type of place you want to catch up with an old friend over a beverage and some crispy pork belly.....which is amazing because every table looked like they were having a beverage and amazing breakfast!We had a breakfast sandwich, the pork belly hash, and a GIANT Lemon grab Baby (which is just like a Dutch baby only with lemon curd and huckleberry jam). There wasn't a scrap of food left over. Everything was so amazingly tasty that we all left fully and happy.We will definitely be back to try more of their menu. It is a great place to go in Tacoma!“

We truly couldn't choose a favorite. Sooo good. Seriously. We were only upset that we got full and couldn't eat more. Bravo! Great vibe too!“

“This is a must for happy hour. The nachos can feed 2-3 people easily and start at $7 I think. We usually try something new from the happy hour menu each time we visit. The habanero shrimp were alright but probably wouldn’t get again. The crispy Brussels sprouts were pretty good. The street tacos were a bit bland for my liking but not bad.The 4-6 happy hour only has deals on food while the one at night has deals on both food and drinks.My only complaint is that we’ve only gotten the complimentary chips and salsa once. Every other time, they forget. The chips come in handy for the nachos since the nacho chips end up a bit soggy at the bottom.“

“First off, I recognize that an establishment may just have that one not so great employee so my first criticism should be taken with a grain of salt: the glasses on our table were filthy. It looked like someone had very wet and dirty hands when they were setting the table. I gave them to our server and pulled clean ones off a neighboring table which I inspected and they looked fine so while there may be a bad apple working there it doesn't appear to be their standard.The menu is small and appears mostly very good. We were a party of five and everyone but me loved their food. My cobbler muffin was perfect and the coffee was great...The french toast I had was hands down the worst french toast I've ever had. The bread they used had a weird cornbread-like graininess to it that was unpleasant. The batter, which appeared to be only on one side didn't have any notable flavor to it. The sauce was way too sweet and there wasn't enough cream cheese, or whatever that was, to balance out the sweetness. By the time you get to the hazelnuts I was so turned off by the dish that they didn't add much to the experience. My disappointment was tremendous because the presentation was beautiful. I really wanted to walk into the kitchen, make the cook try it and then watch them make it so I could tell them what they were doing wrong because a french toast is such a hard dish to mess up but it really feels like they dropped the ball every step of the way.Last note, the server was fantastic. She was very passionate about the food she was selling and felt very eager to be helpful every step of the way. From the view to the atmosphere to what she brought to the table energy-wise it is very likely that I will be back. I hope next time will be mind blowing because from most of what I saw today they deserve a second chance.“

“We went on a Saturday night. We have been to many comedy clubs over the years. This place was the cleanest venue we have visited. It seems to be designed for comedy. With that I mind our seats were extremely stage left but close to the stage but a lot of the jokes were hard to hear. The menu was diverse. The pork shanks and nachos were excellent. The service was the best we've had at a comedy club. This week's headliner was a disappointment but he has a national reputation so the club is trying to bring in top notch talent“

“I come here often. The staff is wonderful. It's clean and safe and has free parking. Every Saturday they have a band. No cover/all ages. The food is "meh". The dance area is carpeted, which is kinda' a bummer if you are a dancer. It's an early venue that caters to an older crowd. The bands are of varying musical genres and usually some of the best our area has to offer. They have a small attached bar and a lovely covered patio. It's a nice place to bring a family or, especially, older relatives.“

“Very fun place. I thought it was more of a lovely brunch spot but it’s very much more a DJ everywhere a selfie whooohoo girl place It’s adorable but a little like an influencers paradise. The biggest disappointment is I got a flight of bubbly Cava and champagne is my drink of choice. The flight was just basic and they were served in a flat bottom glass Not chilled either and then went flat right away. It didn’t help one was Prosecco so they never have good bubbles. But warm and not bubbles in a spirit glass is pathetic. I also think you shouldn’t call it a flight if it’s pre selected. I’m beyond glad I didn’t waste money on a glass of sparkling or champagne that was a higher price point that perhaps comes is an inappropriate glass The variety is just ok Good part - food was fantastic. We got brunch. I got the avacado salmon toast and it was so good. Large portion. It comes with what they said are biscuits but we got a scone to share breakfast potatoes and an arugula burrata salad. It was very good although have to add hubs got steak and eggs and the scone potatoes and salad (ours didn’t have any dressing ) were served. Then a while later the entree was served. It was odd. The scone yes but a plate of potatoes ?!? The price point was great. Loooove to see new places in Tacoma Service was decent. Hard to want to go back because it felt so young almost immature and nothing to do with champagne appreciation. But the food was great and maybe they focus will change to champagne“
