Former Ram Restaurant in Lakewood will soon offer a ‘taste of Southern charm'
The owner of Hot Fish House, known for fried catfish and a giant turkey leg stuffed with and surrounded by all manner of Southern specialties, will soon introduce a full-service restaurant in the former Ram Restaurant and Brewery in Lakewood. Quinton Gethers is hopeful he can reach the finish line to open Q’s Restaurant — with a tagline of a “taste of Southern charm” — by the end of the year. The black-and-gold signs went up in October. He has been working on the approximately 8,000-square-foot space since April, he said, super-cleaning the carpet in the main dining room, which boasts a tall fireplace and several built-in, half-circle booths. ( The Ram in Lakewood closed in September 2025, but its other locations in Washington, including on Ruston Way, continue.) He spruced up the Ram’s old tables and chairs, painted the walls a Kelly-green hue and hung interesting images of animals in unusual settings, some in military garb.

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
