Recommended 12 Dinner Spots Near Olympia, Washington

Nate Croy Gotta say, this was one of the hands down best dinners we have had in a minute. Food, seasonal drinks, and service were incredible. Our server Sky led us to some tasty selections like the Honey & Maple glazed chicken wings (just spicy enough and sweet) and the Gorgonzola and Pear salad with Pork Belly. Their salads and grain bowls are no joke. We’ll see you in the morning for brunch, Sky!

Doyle Sanford The food and service was top notch. Very attentive bartenders. The building is clean and comfortable with easy parking. Stopped in for lunch was not real busy and quiet enough to enjoy a conversation

Hallie Gillette Amazing pasta, was full of flavor, with a full plate. Our waitress was very kind and only came by to check on us which was perfect for me and my fiance. My only complaint would be not enough people inside! Quick, delicious, and only 60$ even with us taking home so much leftovers!!

Lincoln Ward I can see how this place is award winning! Everything is fresh, made from scratch. Delicious pizza and pasta. Great atmosphere and outstanding service. We will be back! Highly recommend!!

Fire Princess Reviews Im not big on Seafood, but the people I was with were. And they said that their seafood was great. Me meat and potatoes kinda gal, so I got the Prime Rib. It was EXCELLENT. Cleaned my plate. The service was also great, the waitress was right there when you needed her. It was just a good experience overall.

Jolene The Bud Bay Cafe located near Mud Bay in Olympia is right by the marinas and it is so much more than a cafe. I love the atmosphere and the location. First of all. Being by the water is amazing for me. We expected to order a simple salad and grilled chicken for lunch until they brought out the fresh specials which were amazing and five star restaurant quality. I ordered halibut and lobster tail wrapped in phyllo dough with a wild rice pilaf and my husband ordered king crab legs with the same sides. We also got the apple tart. All were on the fresh menu. The flavors were fresh and incredibly cooked to order. This is one of my new favorite places to stop by anytime were in this area. I shouldnt forget the service, everyone is very nice and friendly and make sure that youre happy with your order.

John Hoagland Thanksgiving feast takeout! Oh boy this large meal was yummy! Suggest adding the green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. Huge loaded bag that needs support from bottom. Everything is cooked and dished in large containers that can be put in the oven, ready to reheat. Service was awesome the turkey has a great smoked flavor deep into the meat and really juice. Skin is left seasoned to crisp at home as desired.

Denise Ball My husband and I had the 3 course meal. It included clam chowder, fish and chips and slice of cheesecake. It was very good. The food came out hot and fresh. Large portions. Would recommend.

Mythos The Bear The food here is great- Ive driven past many times, but never been in. I was pleasantly surprised. Ordered the bangers and mash - the whiskey gravy is amazing and I got a small cup to go. Cant wait to go back and try the shepards pie.

Xär Blackthorn The consensus online is that this is the best burger spot in Olympia. It’s been on my list for a while, but I’m not local. I had to make a trip to Tacoma yesterday (Saturday) and decided to make a pit stop. Nobody told me about the dinosaurs! So cool! I arrived early before it was warm outside and had the whole outdoor space to myself to explore and take pictures. I was the only car when I arrived, so I pulled up to the window, and my exchange with the cashier was super fast and friendly. I don’t think I sat there longer than two minutes before I got my burger. I got the deluxe with cheese. Their spread is similar to Burgerville’s, but somehow the flavor reminds me more of egg salad so I like it better. I can’t wait to come back to try a shake!

Rhlm This place has been for 30 years!! They take making pizza very serious. Fun hip music! The staff is great. A must visit and support local business type of place. Plus video games in the back and yes they take quarters!!

Joshua Esparza First visit and everything was great food, service, the overview of the water, and overall appearance of the restaurant. Absolutely amazing coming back!
