Dine Inside A Beautifully Restored Train Car At This Unique Washington Restaurant

I’d like to respectfully point out that a 1906 railcar once carried railroad executives as a private car. Today it serves eggs. Roughly 12,000 of them a month, if I may say so. That seems worthy of a little admiration. The car spent sixty years as a diner in...

This Washington Italian Spot Puts Rotisserie Chicken in the Lasagna and Sends You Home With Leftovers

Rotisserie chicken goes into the lasagna at one Washington Italian spot, and I think that alone deserves a little applause. The prawns show up spicy with Calabrian chili. The zucchini gets cut lengthwise and fried in tempura batter. That menu reads like a family recipe box that kept growing. Mushroom...

New barbecue restaurant now open in downtown Gig Harbor

My 4 Sons BBQ has opened in downtown Gig Harbor with a menu of brisket, pork and chicken by the pound or plate, paired with sides like smoked mac and cheese, BBQ beans and a surprisingly refreshing broccoli salad. It’s still in a soft-open phase, with select-day meat specials — including smoked turkey on Thursdays and beef-back ribs on Fridays and Saturdays — not yet available. But the core menu of meat by the pound and sides in various sizes is ready alongside a full bar with a few local beers on tap and cocktails ranging from mules and margaritas to a bacon old fashioned. Owners Matthew and Brenda Henning purchased the former tenant at 7707 Pioneer Way , Brimstone PNW, late this summer. The couple has operated a takeout-focused barbecue business in the Midland area of Tacoma since 2018. Speaking to The News Tribune in August, Matt Henning said they had been casually looking for a second location and appreciated the rustic vibe of the former Brimstone space. It’s also much larger than their flagship in Tacoma, which would allow some experimentation. He had teased the likes of beef cheek nachos, which were already featured at least once as

This Washington Waterfront Tavern Serves Fresh Seafood On A Deck Overlooking A Marina Full Of Boats

A harbor seal made a cameo while diners waited for a table here, and nobody even had to buy a ticket. That’s the kind of lunch line I can get behind. This long-running tavern sits right on the water in Washington, with a deck that looks over a marina packed with boats. The menu leans hard into seafood, with halibut and cod fish and chips, clam chowder, and salmon tacos.

Popular downtown Tacoma eatery to offer $5 margs, nachos to celebrate 20 years

This year marks two decades of The Matador in downtown Tacoma, and the restaurant is offering a few deals to celebrate. The restaurant and bar, with locations throughout Western Washington, Oregon, Idaho and South Carolina, offers an extensive tequila selection and a variety of Mexican fare. The twice-daily happy hour, from 4 to 6 p.m. and then 10 p.m. to close, is already a good deal, with soup, salad, quesadillas and street tacos available for just $6 or $7. Though on Nov. 17, when the restaurant will celebrate its 20th birthday, all happy hour menu items drop down to $5. Plus, house margaritas will go for the same price all day on Nov. 17, not just during happy hour. The happy hour menu includes the restaurant’s Grande Nachos, a heaping plate of chips covered in cheddar and monterey jack cheeses, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole and cilantro-lime sour cream. Tacos come with fillings like baja fish, steak, shrimp, carnitas and chorizo. You’ll also find crispy brussels sprouts, bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños, habanero shrimp, chicken tortilla soup and caramel apple churros on the happy hour menu. The restaurant is also using its 20th anniversary celebration to highlight new improvements, like an
