Simons - (Near Port Orchard, WA)

Ying-Fang Lai We used to drive to Leavenworth for Schweinshaxe (ham hock) and this place is much better! Will come back again. It came with a sizable salad too! Definitely shareable. I’m saving some sauerkraut and the pork bone to make a hearty soup later!

Mike (Big Mike) Short review - Absolutely amazing place, food, and service. All you can eat KBBQ!! Long review -Im shocked by the less than Five (heck Ill give you four stars)... This has been a great addition to the Kent Hill restaurants. We have been needing something like this on the East Hill and this place is by far amazing. My wife and I have come here at least 8 to 10 times since opening we have always had great service. I have never waited more than 5 minutes if that to do any kind of ordering or to do any kind of drinks. The most wait was a 20-minute wait to be seated because it was on a Friday night and I would expect that or I would hope it would be that busy that I would have to wait- Id like this place to stay. The dishes have been fabulous, the meats are fantastic. Chicken wings are good. The Japchae is phenomenal!! My wife has a gluten and dairy allergy and it was great to speak with the people initially and talk with them about what she can and cant have and they completely understood. So much so the next time that her and I came back the same server (Po) remembered everything because he himself is allergic to dairy. Now from reading the reviews I know who these people are talking about the "Asian guy with the beard". I apologize to you because I forgot your name but I have spoken to you twice. I have been in during slow times and I have been in during really busy times. I truly believe that people think that the rudeness is really just a manager trying to run a business, get people seated as quickly as possible so that his staff can start to serve you food. He has never personally been rude to myself or my wife or any family member I brought in. He is short on what he says sometimes, however to say rudeness is beyond me. No I dont personally know anyone that works there, nor am I being paid to say any of this stuff. Po, the guy above, and all the younger staff have been great! Attentive to changing out your grill, asking about other sides. I actually prefer to order by the "P" numbers instead of saying the names- they absolutely DO NOT force you to order by that what so ever! Yes they offer you ice cream at the end by saying hey theres free ice cream and its just one of those little cups that used to get when you were a kid with the wooden spoon but you get a nice little plastic one now. To say that they bribe you for a good reviews with it (someones review here)... really? Seems a little ridiculous! My only four star was for atmosphere- they do have a bunch of TVs on the wall playing Korean dance and pop music stuff which I find very entertaining. They do have two PA style speakers mounted towards the back of the restaurant and they do seem to have like a party sometimes at night because theres laser lights and stuff on the ceilings. I feel like Im personally missing out on one of these party nights where these laser lights and stuff get turned on and speakers get blasted. I need to figure out how to get on that party list!

Samuel Smith There is a reason why they were voted best tacos in Tacoma. I got the classic burrito and a horchata to-go. It was delicious. I swung by around 330pm and it wasnt busy, and service was quick. There is options for high chairs as well as wheel chair accessible. There is one bathroom, but for customers only. As for parking, there is not a whole lot, because they share with other businesses, but I had no problem with parking. They do mobile orders as well. The young man who took my order was very professional and quick.

AD M As somebody who travels around for work frequently I always love finding a diner that offers home cooked meals. The drink menu did not disappoint and played into the seasonal ambiance with many selections. The two I chose were delicious, not overly sweet and def not lacking in spirits. But onto the food, if you are someone like me and youre just driving through on the highway, I guarantee this is not a spot that you want to pass by. It was more than decently priced and the portions were large! The food was mouth watering and that is downplaying it because im in a food coma and cant think of a better description. I chose the turkey dinner based off of the waitresses recommendation between that or the pot roast and it brought me right back to being home during the holidays in the south. It was so good I actually had to send a photo to my mom. I live hundreds of miles away and wish I could put this place in my pocket because everything about it was wonderful and 10 stars to my server (Susi M.) who took care of the entire restaurant with only the support of the kitchen, she had at least five or six tables while I was dining and did not make me feel rushed or ignored. If I am ever back in this direction I will definitely make it a point to stop again.

Maria Bautista My boyfriend and I came here for a Saturday evening dinner and really enjoyed it overall. Service wasn’t bad but not very personable. Direct and to the point and we weren’t asked about drinks which I found strange but we just told him what we wanted after ordering food. It’s a pretty small area but there were only 2 other groups so it didn’t feel crowded though I imagine it would if they were full. We eat Indian food often but this day we tried new dishes. For an appetizer we ordered Paneer Pakora, it was deep fried and reminded me of a mozzarella stick but with breading and no cheese pull. The sauces that came with it were delicious, I especially enjoyed the mint one. My boyfriend ordered Lamb Curry at spice level hot. It was very spicy with great rich flavor, the neutral flavored rice helped to not be overwhelming. The garlic naan was a great pairing. I ordered Lamb Kadahi at spice level hot and again it was spicy but it also had a great tangy flavor with some peppers and onions that added some sweetness. Overall it was a nice dinner and we will definitely go back.

JohnAllenHill The spouse and I ate here last week. We split a western burger and tots. The burger was excellent. The tots were also very good. The server, Kiefer I think was his name, was excellent. Friendly and attentive. Our meal was split for us and placed on two separate plates. While not expected it is always nice when splitting a meal to have that done for you. As a side note we have eaten here several times over the years, including when it was Hop Jacks, and the food...and drinks are always consistently excellent. Management deserves some kudos for this. Put simply, the food and service have always been reliably good.
