Steilacoom Pub & Grill

I did not experience the troubles junebu9g had ... A friend brought me a slice of her pizza from the Deli and it was delicious. I decided to try it out and got myself a bacon cheeseburger one night. Oh lordie it was good and they have a large variety of burger options for such a small operation. I tend to stick to my bacon cheeseburger when my roommate and I get take out once a week (if we're lucky). She likes the Chowder bowl or just an appetizer, either their battered zucchini or mozzarella sticks. Recently my roommate mentioned the chowder to her sister who came over for dinner with her husband. They all wanted chowder bowls but alas we were too late and there were only two. Her sister, a picky gal, gladly ordered a burger and loved it so much that she's going back for another tonight! This business is a local tavern that has a family feel among the customers and should not be mistaken for an upscale deli. It most certainly has good eats though and i recommend it to everyone! more

Three of us stopped by at 12:30 for lunch - big mistake. There were only about a dozen other folks in the grill and half had their food. We soon found out that the other half still had at least 20 more minutes to wait. The cashier was also the server and would lend a hand putting lunches together when she was not attempting to unplug the old plastic ketchup containers - gross! The sandwiches (when they finally arrived 30 mins. later) were horrible! The roll and croissant were still partially frozen and the egg salad was simply embarrassing - so little egg salad was used to make the sandwich that the bread and hunks of lettuce had plenty of room. Three bad sandwiches, tiny bags of chips, two soft drinks and $30 later, we were more than ready to leave - and definitely won't be back. The owners should take a trip to a real sandwich shop like Meconi's (Olympia) to see how it SHOULD be done. more
