I ordered halibut and coleslaw at the drive-thru. When I got to the window the server was going to give me the wrong food but when I corrected her, she provided my order with a great smile. The Halibut, unfortunately, was very dry.

Ivar's is an iconic NW seafood restaurant and they did not disappoint. The restaurant was clean and the servers were courteous and efficient. My girlfriend and I each ordered fish and chips with a cup of chowder. We both thought everything was outstanding. Our only complaint was that the pieces of fish were smaller than we expected. I recommend travelers stop here over any of the other fast food options.

I'm giving full stars, even though I have never tried it yet. Soon my family and I are moving out to an area that has this place, and I promise this will be the first place we stop by, when we get our place.

Just went to Ivar's in Lakewood and this is what I received. I got two lobster po boys,cost me 27.98 and they barely had anything on them. My total order cost 51.42 with a 4.28 tip added for the drive thru. Not worth it... Giant rip off...I feel like I have been robbed.

Best fried fish sandwich I have found. Not too much breading and fresh tasting fish on a bun that holds together when eating. Prices may seem high until you count the always included french fries. You can substitute onion rings for fries (probably other sides as well). Clam chowder is also very tasty and hearty. They offer a family size combo, but someone (us, them???) messed up when ordering and we wound up paying extra and missing an item or two. Dine in is very casual, but clean and tidy. Drive through is pretty quick. I check my bag after the one mess up, and no errors. Staff seems friendly for a drive through place.

It's great northwest food. Service is quick clean but always a little to cold in each Ivan's fish bar. Like you on a boat.

We returned because it was that good. Compared to the first restaurant we visited, the personnel was not as welcoming. They appeared a little miffed at people. Still, the food was tasty, and the chowder was really satisfying!
