“What a pleasant surprise! Stopped for a quick bite as we were passing through Ranier. My husband had the Patty Melt on sourdough and I had the Fish and Chips. Both were really good. The patty melt came with grilled onions, cheese and au jus. My fish had a thin crispy batter and was steaming hot. And the French fries were just the right amount of crispy and salty. We'll be back.Parking: Easy to get in and out even hauling our horse trailer.”

“This is a little gem hidden behind a gas station. There is a drive-thru and a picnic area. Their burgers are awesome as are their breakfast sandwiches. No real indoor seating though”

My partner and I have fallen in love with this amazing truck and their food. We recommend their food to everyone we know. We will def keep coming back.Parking: They share a parking lot with King Cronic. So the parking fluctuates. However I have never seen a true parking shortage there unless there's an event”

Love you guys do you have a new customer for life living we live in Yelm and my husband drives by your restaurant every day on his way home from work. How convenient Dinner just got ”

“Called in a to-go order this evening and the gentleman I spoke with was very friendly and hospitable. Told me it would be ready in 10 minutes, so I showed up 10 minutes later and sure enough it was ready to go. The woman who rang me up was also very friendly and hospitable, and the food was so dang good. I ordered a 5 taco platter, lengua, and it was the first time I’ve had lengua in WA state that I’ve enjoyed. Tender, cooked perfectly, amazing flavor. My wife ordered the green enchilada burrito and I accidentally spilled some of the delicious sauce they pour over it so I was able to taste that, too, and that was delicious as well. The rice and beans were much better than what you’ll get at an average Mexican spot around here. The pork tamales were flavorful and just a tad dry, which wasn’t a problem when eating them with the delicious salsas they provide upon request. Their lemonade was good, horchata was really good.All in all I spent ~$56 with tip, which seems pretty standard nowadays. Long gone are the prices I’m used to for taquerias in Houston, Texas, but I’m stoked to know that we have someplace local to go for the flavor and hospitality that I grew accustomed to in the south. Highly recommend!Parking: Park out in front of the gas station or go through the drive thru—they’re located in the back-left corner of the building.”

“Doug's Restaurant is well staffed with an exceptional staff, regardless of how busy they are. The servers are extremely friendly. This establishment is always well decorated for the new upcoming holiday. Overall, this is an exceptional establishment that has great freshly prepared hometown / homestyle options on their menu. Keep up the hard work, determination, and dedication Doug'sParking: With Doug's located in the corner of a complex community of stores and fast food establishments, there is plenty of area to park. There is generally parking right at the restaurant itself as well.”

“Great place for a date night or just a few beers. I had the spicy bacon jalapeño smash burger and it was delicious. Staff was friendly, dining area was clean, food was great and with very little wait.I gave it 5 stars across the board.Kid-friendliness: No persons under 21 may enter”

“I don’t really like having to stop pretty much anywhere in Yelm for food but I stopped for this particular teriyaki joint and was surprised to say it’s better than most teriyaki restaurants around the Puget Sound. Very friendly staff. I had to add an item to my order and they quickly got it done. The spicy teriyaki chicken was very flavorful. My eggroll was fried to perfection. The only take away for me is that they could have went a little heavier on the spice for me.”

“Stopped in Thanksgiving weekend on my drive home. Of course I came prepared with swatches to round out some upcoming projects :-). I made my purchases, got home and found I needed another yard of a particular fabric. I called the store, they bent over backwards to assist and the wanted fabric arrived at my door a few days later. I would give the review 6 stars if it was closer to the interstate but the scenic drive is loverly. Cannot wait for my next trip up north cuz this shop gets another look from me !!!!!!!”

“Was some of the best chain sandwiches I've had in recent years. Hot, fresh, and delicious. I had the Black Angus Steakhouse sandwich and it was incredibly delicious. The service is amazing here, and so is everything else. Will return over and over.”

“I've been here a couple of times, and it's been great, but they don't always open when they say they are. I would like to get more of an accurate schedule.”

“Is my go to favorite teriyaki spot, everything is good I’ve had so many things off the menu and it’s always amazing, service is also amazing and the food comes out so quick! Probably the best place around here for teriyaki!”

“I am very much impressed by the quality of customer service, and the American dream held up by this locally owned business. I ordered 1 lb of beef pastrami, a large side of Mac and cheese, and a large side of pork & beans. I got to try a sample of the meat before buying to make sure it was to my liking which I was not disappointed by any means.”

“Stopped by to try it out. Had no idea what we wanted. Told the ladies what we liked and they gave us ideas and helped us pick. I got a blended caramel frap(which came out so pretty and super tasty!) And my fiance got a caramel latte. Both were the big sizes and together we're only $12. Shocked the heck outta me!! We will be coming back here again!”

“Very friendly baristas and awesome go-go juice! Beware if you go if you're in a hurry though. They need help. I feel sorry for the girls, because two employees is not enough to handle the volume of customers that they get.Features: Covid has entered endemic stage and masks are no longer required”
