9. Applebee's
Overall Ratings
4 based on 36 reviews
Reviewed By DrHedrick
I have always found Applebee's to serve generic food, in a quasi-bar-like atmosphere with sub-par service.Forced by my family to give it another try after about 7 years, we stopped here fully expecting the same results. I was wrong.While the food has improved some and I found something that I liked without the faked culinary experimentation I experienced the last time. Who puts cranberry sauce on a basic turkey sandwich without stating it in your menu? Anyway, the food was much better and tasted real not from a box. The service was what I was most impressed with. Our waitress was very attentive and ensured we enjoyed our experience. We have visited once more since this time because of this experience.

Had lunch, dinner & breakfast while staying at the Red Lion. Biggest plus is convenience if staying at the hotel (otherwise, you can do much better elsewhere in Olympia). Had sliders for lunch. Not bad but nothing special either; fries are extra (huge portion by the way). For dinner I had the pesto flatbread (& added the pacetta); it was very good though perhaps a bit heavy handed with the balsamic. For breakfast, I had the 2 eggs, polish sausage & potatoes. Potatoes were quite oily; sausage was good but nothing exciting; my over easy eggs were so "easy" they were almost raw ... I should have sent them back. The whole hotel including restaurant & bar have been going through a major remodel/rennovation. Not sure I like the new restaurant -- the chairs are not very comfortable at all. All in all, ok. If breakfast had been my only meal, I might have given them only 1 star. Get your eggs scrambled.

6. Pints Barn

Headed to the Pints Barn after school on Friday to celebrate the end of the year wirh the staff from our school. Service staff was outstanding. Quality food options (although i wish they had a deep fryer) and drinks available. I do wish they had some cider on tap.We sat out on the patio with 10-12 people for a long period of time. There was even live music into the evening. Some of our crew even stuck around past midnight Good times, great place.

Lots of positive comments about the service, decor, and food at this place. I ordered the veggie curry with rice and a side of smoked salmon. For me it was a sharable portion but I'm a light eater most of the time. I thought it was great although I usually like some chicken with this type of dish. If sharing I suggest at least adding a protein. Either way I believe it's a great choice. I tried a bite of my wife's crab cakes and they were wonderful too. The decor is typical McMenamins so it's comfortable and has an old school feel. To me, it's exactly the type of place where I can relax and have an enjoyable meal. The service is attentive and timely - no rush or unreasonable delays. I thought the pricing was OK and got out of the place with three dinners, a couple of drinks, and two desserts with tip for less than $100. Now for the men's room. I believe you can tell a lot about a place by taking a quick peek into the bathrooms. It wasn't horrible but it needed some attention. Not a deal killer but a note to the management - pay attention to this issue and 5 stars would have been my rating.BTW, if you got anything out of this review I would appreciate a "helpful" vote. Thanks!

With more than triple its original seating and a kitchen that spans the former brewing floor, the Pub offers a robust menu featuring local meat, bread, and produce. And while the Pub's 24 taps of beer and cider can present guests with a daunting selection

Hard to believe that recent reviews remain positive about this establishment. Rumors are that they will be closing soon. Not sure if this is true but they act like it. Two of their own most popular beers were not available. Are they going to brew more? Our less than enthusiastic waiter did not know when this might happen. They still had some good draft options from other breweries but this is not what we came for. After a while deciding what we would eat and we tried to order Crab Cakes, we were then informed that they were not available either. Perhaps this could have been mentioned when we were first given the menus?? So two of us ordered the fish and chips and the fish had no taste. Lots of crispy breading but the fish was mediocre at best. We both ate just half of the 3 pieces. When asked if we wanted take out boxes, I said that it was not good enough to take home. Our waiter just walked away. The other two meals were pretty good but our hosts may have just been trying to be positive.

Great service, but ok pizza. Hand tossed crust doesn't really allow for think or thin crust, you get what they toss. Very little cheese on any of the pizzas we ordered. Vegetables were crunchy. The garlic pizza had fresh garlic instead of just sprinkles. Would have been rated Very Good if there had been more cheese. Family friendly as is appropriate for pizza.

Stopped in here for lunch and to watch football on a Sunday afternoon while traveling through Olympia - so glad I did. I ended up staying through dinner as well to watch the Sunday night games - food was good, not spectacular, but filling and inexpensive. (Sunday dinner was all-you-can-eat spaghetti for $5) - friendly atmosphere, attentive wait staff, plenty of TVs to watch sports, and pool tables in the back if you are so inclined - I'll gladly stop in here again in the future. the onion rings and Reuben I had for lunch were very good!

The website said their lunch buffet was a selection of pizza, pasta and more. Well, not so much. There were three pizza offered; Pepperoni, a chicken BBQ, and one with artichoke on it and a sauce I couldn't recognize. The pasta (Yes, only one option) was a coagulated alfredo. The sauce was greasy and separated and it was one big noodle. They offered a salad. A caesar that had obviously been mixed way too early because it was wilted and very unappetizing. So the 'Selection' of pizza, pasta and more wasn't a selection at all.No dessert either. Basically $9 and not worth it. No vegan options at all. Maybe the restaurant part of the restaurant is better, I don't know but the buffet sucks! Won't be back to try the restaurant because of that. Service was good though! And the bathrooms clean.
