Great customer and great food/ drinks.. very friendly bartender highly recommend for a good time!!!
The bartender was attentive and friendly. The food was ok. I ordered a French dip and paid extra for grilled onions. The onions were raw, and there was Swiss cheese on it. I did not order any cheese on it, and especially not Swiss because I am allergic. The handcut fries were really good, and there was just the right amount.
My hubby and I love dive bars and this is the BEST one in Kent! The prices for food and beverages are more than fair. We usually hit them up at Friday happy hour. For 30 bucks, including a decent tip, we get 2 well drinks each, a shot of Fireball and a basket of housemade fries! They really take care of their regulars and treat newbies like regulars! All of their staff are so personable and fast too. The patio outback is great during nice weather too. As a bonus, they serve the best hangover breakfast everyday from 9 oto noon too! We love it there.
I found this place on accident and my friend and I were very pleased, the food and drinks are really good, and the prices unbeatable. Staff is friendly and willing to keep you content. The weekend bartender is really nice and friendly, at times she gets busy, but will try to get to you asap. Weeknights bartender is friendly and tries her best. Patrick will go out of his way to get your order quickly. They all make the best drinks. I'm a regular now, love this place.
Missing the blinker since we moved to Arizona!!! There's no place like it! A perfect little hole in the wall dive bar, with great bartenders, good food, and strong drinks! We love Vicki, Carlos, and Patrick, and we miss spending so many of our good old days (and nights) there in that place! Close to home! Can't wait to come back to Washington for a visit! Oh, and Vicki makes the BEST quesadillas and BLT's ever!!!!!!
