Yesterday was pick up horse feed for the ranch and take our rescue dogs out to be groomed. Milo and Koda are not only throwaways but special needs too. With the groomer being in Tacoma it wasn’t worth driving back home to Roy, only to turn around and go back to Tacoma.
I had seen another restaurant not too long ago but with street parking full we passed. This time parking was available so we parked, walked inside and was immediately disappointed. The place was tiny, with only 3 tables, 2 tiny counters with stools, and a brand new counter person who was unable to answer questions of the customer wanting to place an order. Out we went, never to return.
I saw Dawson’s on the corner, so we decided to go there. We walked through the door and immediately spoke with some friendly long time customers. Wendy, the bartender, was friendly, fast and efficient as she raced around taking care of a pretty full establishment.
I ordered a BLT on sourdough with fries. Ray ordered the Reuben with salad and honey mustard dressing. I had water. Ray ordered lemonade, which to me, tasted pretty watered down.
Our meals came out pretty fast. Everything was made to order. The bacon was crispy, not soggy and there were several pieces. The fries were hot and crisp, not soggy. Ray’s Reuben was stuffed with corned beef and sauerkraut. His salad was more than just lettuce.
This is a bar so the music is loud and the bar is dark. The food and service was excellent. They also serve breakfast all day for those who like breakfast at times other than early to late mornings. This is a place worth visiting again.
