“Our first time at this restaurant, and we’ll be back! It’s kid friendly too. We ordered the bao pork belly buns and they were so delicious. Also had the angus burger which was perfectly cooked. And the wild mushroom homemade spaghetti!! It was delicious! Their craft cocktails were goood! Service was great too!Kid-friendliness: The restaurant itself is dark and moody, but there were plenty of families with children there.“
“Cactus was an amazing surprise! I come from Texas where the TexMex is abundant and I didn’t expect to find some familiar flavors up here in Washington! The spicy mango michelada was refreshing and the birria tacos and fajitas were great! Whenever I come back to visit, I’ll be sure to stop by Cactus!“
“Just had a nice ride with my fiance and stopped by for a bite to eat on the way home. I had the margarita pizza ? it had tomatoes, ? cheese ?, and a balsamic glaze. And my fiance had the macaroni and cheese ? with fried chicken ?. It was smoky and good. The pizza ? was very good. Definitely want to get either the macaroni and cheese ? next time or their burgers? . Thank you to Cheyenne our server. ?“
“We shared the fried chicken and waffles (the lemon was a knockout surprise), the cheesy tots (which were a flavor bomb), and the biscuits and gravy (I never like that dish cuz it's kinda boring, but these were anything but). 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!“
“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!“
“I absolutely love Kelly. She is so sweet and accommodating. I absolutely love the atmosphere of this dive bar. It’s my new go to for good music, tasty bar food and nice vibes. I’ve had nothing but amazing service EVERY single time. The bartender Devon made my drink to perfection and I’m so grateful for the cook because my food was nicely seasoned and very scrumptious. I will definitely be back again and again. Good service never goes unnoticed with me! Come through, order some food and tip your bartenders!?“
“I have to start this review about our server, Shelby, who went wayyyy above and beyond. I have food allergies and she was back and forth to the kitchen a million times helping me find something safe to eat.She comped part of our meal because of the kitchen.Service was fast, and over the top wonderful.The food was just OK. My husband said his tacos were good, but mine was meh. Something was intolerably hot, and the proportions of ingredients in the taco salad were wierd. I took a few bites, took it home and tossed it. The nachos were OK. Really overcooked and the toppings came on the side. We wouldn't go again, because it's pricey and the food wasn't that great, but the service was exceptional. Thank you Shelby!“
“The 1st time I have been there and the bartender is by far my favorite bartender. Great conversationalist and knows her drinks and if she isn't sure, she was more than okay to look it up and make sure she had the liquor or substitute to make my drinks! She had me stay there longer than I had planned, haha! Excellent “
“Went to En Rama for the first time this week and loved it. Very small & cozy setting, the staff was all extremely friendly, and the pasta I had was AMAZING. The wine pour was a tad light and the old fashioned my date had seemed light as well, but very good anyway. Will definitely be back!“
“This place was cute, I went with some girlfriends and the wine we had was really good. My friends got some appetizer meat plate with cold cut, nuts and fruit, and a few other things that they said were good. I had the veggie melt( I am vegan) but I didn't care for it, not the owners fault or anything just wasn't my thing. Other than that we had a great time!“
“We ate here late at night at the happy hour, the menu had good choices and the chicken tacos were really good. The waitresses and customer service is really good. I would highly recommend the street tacos and the guacamole. The bar area can get a bit loud with some customers. But overall, it was a good experience.“
“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.“
“Came on a Wednesday it started off slow but immediately got full. Food was decent could be better. Miss the old menu. Service tonight was great the best it’s been. She was attentive and friendly and took great care of my party. It’s a small place but worth visiting.“
“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“
“First of all, Zoe is amazing at handling large groups effortlessly and with a great attitude! I asked her for her favorite 'fancy' cocktail, and it did not disappoint. I also was not expecting such good brisket in this bar, but DAMN. All around an great experience.“
“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.“
“their food is to die for, atmosphere is mellow but good, the service has always been great. sometimes it's hard to get a grasp on when the kitchen closes on what days since it isn't posted. My only complaint is that I can't uber eats or Doordash their food, especially when I'm craving that garlic rice!!“
“Ohhh the Alley Cat. Depending on the day and time your experience can vary in this bar located on the 6th Ave “Strip” in T-town. Great place to pre and post funk since a heavy hand is the alley cat way…¯\_(ツ)_/¯ A spacious space with a pool table, dart boards, pinball machines and a patio, but when it gets packed it’s very packed so be warned, unless that’s what you’re looking for.Parking: Street parking“
“I dined in alone on evening while my wife was out of town. Sang, my server and the bartender made wonderful recommendations and was very helpful. I can't believe it took me 3 years to try this place. Now that I have I will absolutely be back. Food 10/10. I ate the soup for 3 days straight it was so huge. Order the Hue Spicy Noodle Soup & the Saigon rolls! So freaking delicious. Awesome neighborhood spot in an unassuming shopping strip.“
“I love Hop n Drops always have had a wonderful experience here, their service is quick and polite. Food is always delicious my favorite is the Chicken sandwich.Vegetarian options: Impossible Burger.Kid-friendliness: Coloring menus high chairs available and boosters.“
“Friday late night-- definitely the place to be if you like to be in the Miyake of everything. It was packed. The service was still excellent and as to be expected given how busy they were. Some of the best food I've had. Unique and distinct flavor combinations make everything Pop! ? Everything was fresh too. Service with a smile.“
“We sat down and instantly felt welcomed. We came from out of town + we couldn’t have asked for a better environment. The bartender which I believe was the owner was so friendly and fun! The servers even made efforts to talk to us and crack jokes, drinks were great! We definitely recommend for the saloon vibe!“
“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“
“I was blown away at how amazing everything was. The service was excellent and the even gave us a special card for our anniversary. The food was next level. Perfectly balanced and unique flavors. I loved the dessert too. I’d say try the Brussel sprouts and the lemon posset but honestly I don’t think you can go wrong with anything here.“
