Dusty’s Hideaway

I came here with two friends around 11:00 a.m. on a Saturday. The place was a little hard to find since it literally looks like a house, and parking was somewhat challenging because it’s street parking only. They were playing All Dogs Go to Heaven on the TV, which I absolutely loved. The service was okay, pleasant and low-key. It was actually nice not being interrupted every two minutes to check on us. My friends really enjoyed their food, and I ordered the fried buffalo cauliflower, which was very, very good. It wouldn’t be my go-to spot for frequent visits, but if I lived in the neighborhood, I’d definitely come by more often. I’d also like to return with friends to try more items from their menu.

After living in downtown Seattle for a long time, we were looking for a new 'go-to' spot when we moved to Tacoma four months ago—and we definitely found it here! The atmosphere is fantastic and the vibe is always right. Our waitress (Samnia )provides incredible service every single time we visit; they truly makes us feel welcome. A huge plus is how dog-friendly they are! It’s the perfect place to bring your pups. So glad we found this gem!

legendarily lucky random pick for lunch! place is stunning, open, friendly. food was so good we couldn't stop talking about it for hours after we left. i will come back to tacoma just to hang out here

So good. The menu was not overwhelming with too many choices, but enough choices I appreciated. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Outdoor covered seating and leashed pets allowed. Nothimg fancy but definitely a fun local hangout place to meet up woth friends or family. Food was yummy. Burgers äre cooked on the well side so you may have to request anything else. Parking vwry limited, unless you park on the street, which was fine on a Saturday early afternoon. Enjoy!!!

It was my first time visiting this cute lil place. Lots of outdoor seating in the front and back. We ate inside and service was great. The lady that helped us was very nice and had great suggestions. Great drink menu, really enjoyed the food and drinks. Only gripe would be that they charge for every sauce including mustard. Would definitely be back and try happy hour, probably bring my own mustard lol

Just in the area for the day and was craving a burger. Flavor-wise it was good but the price was a bit much. Then I find out swapping mayo out for mustard was an additional charge. That ticked me off! The tots were solid.

We're regulars here and love the food, drinks and patio on nice days. Also very family friendly and they also have a good vegan menu with my favorite vegan burger in Tacoma. Today I had lunch with my daughter and our server Mario provided the best service and played the whole K Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack for us! We had the best lunch, thank you Mario & Dusty's!

Very good food, service and vibe were both wonderful for a lunch time snack, and I enjoyed the fact that they have NA beers. I also want to point out that they are VERY reasonably priced. The only down side I can think of is sides of dipping sauce cost a buck or two, BUT the dusty sauce is totally worth it.

I fw dusty's hard i came in w a big group and the service wasn't slow nor fast (they also had just opened and the place wasn't busy so thats prolly why) our server checked in w us multiple times they got all of our orders correct (like 8 people so purr) and food was highkey buss im glad they have vegan options everything was priced pretty fair the overall vibe of the place is nice too i like it shoutout to my king dusty because i will be back

Dusty's Hideaway is located in a cool Craftsman on the corner. I've been here four or five times now. I've only sat inside, and each time I've come it's been for food (not drinks). The tots are good (and plentiful), and the grilled cheese is pretty tasty, and my various friends have enjoyed their food. The thing that tends to pull down my rating most is that I've never really felt very welcomed there. We came once right around opening and it looked like the staff was annoyed at our presence. Other times I've been there, the service has been minimal. I saw someone call it "laid back" in one of the reviews, which is probably pretty accurate, but I just get the sense that having customers is annoying to the staff. It makes me feel like I should be really apologetic for asking for anything. I don't mind laid-back, but even a friendly greeting would go a long way here.

I never use the word "queer," but I feel it's really apt here. Just a super, super funky restaurant inside of a modified Craftsman home decorated with all of the gender identity flags. I was the first to arrive for the day and was greeted fairly promptly. He told me to sit anywhere and he'd bring the menus shortly. Other people started coming in very quickly after and service really slowed down. If I had to guess there was one person in the front and one in the kitchen. While slow, service was friendly. They had several seasonal drinks and I went with Santa's Slay, which was overall pretty a-okay. For food I got the Grit City Griller, which is veggie, with some tots and the entire reason I ended up at Dusty's in the first place: ranch dressing. Yes. As odd as it sounds, I heard the ranch dressing was really good and I came here mostly just to check out a condiment. Overall brunch was perfectly fine. The ranch was good. The tots were hot and crispy, and the burger was pretty good as well. I'd give this experience a 3.5 stars. This is one of those places I probably won't come to again on my own, but if someone suggested it I'd be down.

Such a wonderful and diverse neighborhood vibe and great food with lots of options (including vegan). It is nice portions and value! The cocktails are also well done and the staff friendly. A great sunny day spot with plenty of sitting.

Decent spot for a great sandwich, a cocktail and outside patio. It was casual, the sandwiches were delicious, service was friendly. Overall a great casual spot

Great food, great service, unique atmosphere. Also extremely reasonable prices. Will definitely be back soon

A friendly neighborhood burger joint with tasty unique menu options! My family and I have been in the works of coming here for a while. The place is mellow and has indoor and outdoor seating. Dusty's is a residence, most likely someone's previous home once upon a time, but it's spacious and the owners made it work! We ordered The Dusty's, which has bacon, egg over easy, grilled onions with American cheese, lettuce and tomato. Then, there was The Murf which is a double patty with grilled onions and mushrooms, cheddar, steak sauce, and horseradish mayo. Lastly, we ordered their BLAT (bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato). You can choose your side such as fries, a side salad, onion rings, or tots. Don't worry, if you're not a red meat eater, they also have chicken and salad options, which also look great. Service was average and laid back. Definitely a great business to support. You'll leave satisfied and stuffed!

Have not roamed this part of Tacoma for a while looking for a burger, have to say, spectacular!. Much better than my master provides me when left overs are available, so roaming into this place was a surprise!! Quaint older style house, with lots of windows to watch for stray cats and wounded birds while eating a delicious burger and fries. Will definitely come back to "Point"......time for a nap........5 barks for Dusty's!!!!

Food is very good. Everyone is nice. The bar is an issue. Drinks are priced at the top end. Slow drink service, we got our food before our margaritas. They tasted like lemon juice. We sent them back and never got new drinks. We had to ask for a refund on the drinks. 5 years ago this place was our go to Friday night hang. To bad, we won't be back anytime soon.

This is a house converted in to a locals bar hang out. Menu is bar food usual though there are some added options you not find at a bar. Parking is street parking only, no parking lot. Visited on Tuesday night, trivia night. Table options are both inside and outside. I sat outside, nice night, and enjoyed listening to the trivia questions. I ordered the 6 piece wings and grilled cheese + bacon. Sandwich came with options and I chose tater tots. Can't go wrong with tots. The wings were huge, and could only finish 3 of the 6. Grill bacon and cheese hit the spot. Service was great and friendly from entry to exit. Thank you Dusty's for an enjoyable evening.

Can't find anything wrong with their food or service or seating. I don't get why this place has lower rating.

Love this place. Refrequent often, dare I say weekly? The food has been always delicious, the services always lovely, and it's just a good funky place that relax and have a nice drink. The drinks are delicious, try the nai tai spritzer! And for the people that say it's not kid friendly, how about you don't bring your kid to a bar? It may be family appropriate but if you're worried about your kids hearing cuss words in the music that's played there, then I feel sorry for your child out in the world today. Go the the Ram if you want a true family friendly place. This place is a true Tacoma gem. Love it.

We arrived took forever to be sat. Then took 15 minutes to get a drink then at thirty minutes no food and meet with attitude when we asked to check on our order.

We were quite underwhelmed, they had plenty of outdoor seating available but not a lot of shade. It was a beautiful day so we embraced it. We were told to sit wherever was clean and waited about 15 minutes before someone came to take drink orders. I wasn't feeling a cocktail; however, the ones I saw come out looked pretty. The lemonade tasted kind of like when you were a kid and drank out of the hose, maybe the gun needed to be cleaned? We waited about 30 minutes for our food to come out. The pulled pork on the Jaw Day was dry, and when I say it was dry the honey saw and slaw did nothing to help it. The pro was that the tots were hot and crispy. We really wanted to like this place but it just didn't work for us. Maybe we'll try again, but we're kind of on the fence.

Well I am from Texas so today was a hot one to be sitting outside. I am pretty sure I brought the heat with me. Make no judgement this place was delicious despite the heat outside. I have never ever in my long legged life had such great onion rings. These topped any. The BLT was a huge hit with almost every one, it was the horseradish mayo that called us all. Tater tots were like the best. The jalapeño popper with the jam just called my name. Excellent beer and drink selection. I loved Sarah and Shae. So sweet and so willing to provide drink and menu tips. Shout Dusty's Hideaway. I want to say I was so dang happy and privileged to come here‍‍!

After a horrible experience at another restaurant, we came to Dusty's Hideway and it was definitely a way better vibe. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, and there's great food options and plenty of outdoor seatings. The girls working there checked on us often to make sure everything was okay and asked if we needed anything. Parking is difficult to find, so best spot would be street parking in the neighborhoods. First off, the portions were huge!! My friends also ordered burgers and they didn't finish their meal either because we were so full lol. I ordered the smokestack burger and really liked the onion rings with bbq sauce. Jalapeño stuffed cream cheese stacked on top, chefs kiss. Fries were great! It was half off wings Wednesday so we ordered half honey garlic and mango habanero. Honey garlic had a lot of honey with a slight sour tang, but not much garlic. I liked the mango habanero as it's not too spicy. I didn't realize until I saw my receipt but wished I was told fyi they do charge extra $2 per sauce.

I'm confused on why this place has such a low rating? Our group had a great experience! We had a party of 7 and the inside was full so we chose picnic table outside, it was a warm sunny day and there was an umbrella to provide shade which was perfect. We were promptly greeted and had our drink orders taken. Shirley temples for the kids and boozy slushies for the adults. Woooo they were BOOZY! We started with wings which were crispy, juicy, and flavorful! Our table went through 4 baskets! The hot honey chicken sandwich was delicious! Crispy, juicy, and flavorful just like the wings. The onion rings were ON POINT. My daughter said her burger was "yummy, good but not the best burger I've ever had". French fries and tots seemed to be be a hit with everyone. The only thing I would really complain about is that they only had plant based nuggets for the kids menu, no actual chicken. We ordered them for our 5 year old anyway because we have been able to sneak them past him before but these ones were super burnt! They were not brown at all they were black. He wouldn't even attempt them which was disappointing. Other than that, good experience and great atmosphere. Make sure you order the ranch, so yummy!

Lady that greeted my partner and I at the front was rude. Kitchen closed at 8:28 PM. All that was fine.. no problem there. I've been here a few times, so I know how the drinks are "supposed" to taste. Same lady that was rude made our drinks, and they were terrible. I will NOT be back. Crossing Dusty's hideaway off my to go to list. If you want bad drinks, and service, this is the place for you!

Dusty's Hideaway is this cute, craftsman style house redone to be a restaurant, that sits on a corner lot in Tacoma. It's decorated with different colors and colored lights. While I've never eaten there in person, my family and I have placed online orders and done a pick up. I will say that I've had food here a few times before and it was good and the portions are large. I've had a burger from here, a salad and fries. The rest of my family has had mostly burgers and just yesterday (Mother's Day), they all had burgers again, with two of my family having the phatty melt. They loved their meals for the most part. I opted for another item that I had not tried before called the Cali Club. This is a fried chicken thigh, avocado, arugula, pico de gallo and mama's mayo on a brioche bun. I'm centering on this item because this was quite possibly, the most unpalatable sandwich that I have ever had. Let me talk about the star of the show for this sandwich, the chicken. Yes people there is such a thing as overcooking a piece of breaded chicken and it was here in full force. The chicken was almost chicken jerky. It was breaded to a dark, dark brown and so overcooked that myself and others in my group (I made others try it to get their opinion) had a really hard time chewing this. It was leather status. The avocado was fresh, the arugula was you know arugula. There was no pico de gallo in place. Some of our party complained about over cooked fries also. This sandwich was 19.50 and a complete waste. I did not give this rating any lower than a 3 star simply because I know that this place can produce good food, I've had it before. Maybe it was an off day, maybe it was a busy day but and I stress this point...someone knew what they were sending out from the kitchen and saw how bad it looked and they still sent it out. We were a party of six, so do the math because most of the sandwiches and burgers are right around the same price. It's not a cheap meal. This time, I was truly disappointed and you know it was Mother's Day and I'm thinking to myself I deserved a good meal. Didn't happy. Total bummer.

Well had a good burger at Dusty's. I basically had a mushroom Swiss burger with two patties and onion rings. It was nice. I think having the second Patty was a mistake on my part. More isn't always better. It was almost too much ground beef at that point, but that's on me. Everything was seasoned. Well, good flavor. The service was exceptional And they actually gave me an additional cider for free, when they had an extra one poured. They were very friendly, thoughtful. We also ordered the chicken wings. If you like sauced up wings you will definitely enjoy these. They're decent sized, again. Good flavor. I can't remember what the sauce was but I think it was a mango something or other. I enjoyed the atmosphere that is located in a house. They're pro lgbtq which was nice. It feels friendly, and inviting to any and all. If you're cruising through Tacoma, I certainly recommend these folks.

It was way overpriced and all the drinks had grapefruit juice in it for why? I will say that the fried cauliflower is on point in definitely a must order.

Long time consumer, first time reviewer. Dusty's is a spectacular restaurant! The fact they are located in an old house in a beautiful part of town is automatically a plus. Their outside patio is pretty, calming, and refreshing. Everyone who works there (at least who I have interacted with) has always been friendly, helpful, and accommodating! I went last night and knew exactly what I wanted! Once you go a few times you familiarize yourself with their menu cause it isn't too big and they have amazing, memorable, and delicious dishes! If you want to relax in the sun and have a good meal, Dusty's Hideaway is a must go! P.S. in the summer they have corn hole (for sure) and some propane fire pits (I think?) in their patio area.

BLACK PEOPLE! They are RACIST! Both of those woman needs more training. Me and my husband come here often, and probably still will, this visit we brought our nephews and my mother. We followed in a WHITE family of 3 and We sat down at a picnic table right behind them. There is a sign on the table that says sit tight someone will be with you soon. We weren't trippin, we sat down, and waited for our server while my mother was parking her car. When the server came out, she was very nice to the other family, bought them water, menus, told them about their specials. Then she came over to us, and the first thing she said was "you have to come inside and check in." I apologized I said I had the kids, I wasn't sure. She tried to take our order, we told her we didn't have menus, but I'd take a water and the boys whatever juice. She said the water is upfront and I can get it myself. I was shocked, I walked to both water stations, both empty. I walked inside and I said hey both water stations are empty. She cuts me off and said give her a minute. I go back to the table, my family of 5 wait 10mins for someone to come back by with maybe water or something. I see the server go to that other table to check on them. My husband goes hey can we have some service. The server says she didn't think we needed service and she assumed we were going to just leave. I was so upset, we just had to go.... Horrible service to already overpriced underwhelming food. We come for the ambience.

My husband and I came there for lunch and it was our first time ever there. I must say that it is delicious and friendly. Very polite, and great service. Amazing food! I would highly recommend!! 5 stars all around.$

Can always count of Dusty's to have the best wings and cocktails! It's a staple in Tacoma, always offering great service and a cute casual aesthetic perfect for any occasion! With ample outdoor seating, if you're ever looking for a place to go on a sunny day, this is the place!!

A perfectly acceptable though hardly outstanding lunch with perfectly acceptable though hardly outstanding or overly friendly service deserves a perfectly acceptable though hardly extensive tip. Apparently, the folks who run Dusty's disagree - at least based on the defaults listed at the bottom of the bill. I don't think I've ever tipped *any* server 25 or 30 percent of my bill for *any* level of service, let alone for the just average service that I received here. And, without telling us in advance, we were charged $4 for four small cups of ranch dressing. Sneaky way to pad the bill, folks. As you can see, I rewarded my server more than adequately - but this bit of self-serving assumption doesn't mean that I'll be rushing back into Dusty's door anytime soon. There are frankly better burgers to be had elsewhere, along with far better service.

Comfortable, cozy little food spot with drink options. Could use more propane heaters on patio... it's cold! Good food, good vibe, and open to all!

I ordered through Doordash and screwed up and reviewed before I actually saw my burger. I paid 50 bucks total including the tip. I ordered a burger with tater tots, and a side with tots and onion rings. The tots and onion rings were awesome. The burger was gross. I requested no grilled onions, fresh instead, plus tomato, mayo, and cheese, but instead got a dry, yucky grilled onion burger with no tomato, cheese or fresh onions. I have no desire to eat this at all. I live close so I am going to bring them back their nasty burger tomorrow. YUCK!

Dusty's is literally as good as everyone says, just try it out. You'll get hooked. Everything I've ordered has been delicious and the sauces are amazing. So many choices, it's great!

Funky fun vibes Outdoor seating Bar food type menu Kids allowed! Popcorn chicken was not great, dry The rest of the food was yummy Burger, fries, tots, grilled cheese

I really don't like leaving this one star because I've been to Dusty's several times and never had a bad experience until now. I sat at the small bar by myself for AT LEAST 10 minutes and was never acknowledged and I had at 3 people walk right past me and said nothing....not acceptable

Such a fun little place! It has a quirky and relaxing atmosphere. The food is delicious!

Very nice little place with a cool atmosphere. Burger was really good!! Highly recommend!

First thing when I walked up I saw it was in a cute renovated old style home with fairy lights. The inside was lit with warm lighting and pictures in old frames to continue with the homey vibes. The service was excellent; they gave us our menus and let us pick our seat as soon as we walked in. They took our orders and checked on us very frequently as well. I ordered Peach Me I'm Dreaming and they delivered it to me in a timely manner. The drink tasted so spectacular I had to order another one! For food I ordered the cheeseburger nachos with beyond meat. I'm a new vegetarian and I don't normally like how fake meat tastes but when I ate my food I never would've known that it wasn't real meat! I loved absolutely everything about this place and I'll be coming back very frequently!!

Food is pretty good, not must-have but not bad by any means. Service was very friendly. The vibe is the best part, nice comfy old house with a neighborhood feel.

We stopped in to Dusty's this past weekend for the second time. We first went when they first opened and it was a little chaotic, but rightfully so. This time was much more pleasant. It was also midday and mellow. I loved the vegetarian options. I got the big salad, which had all kinds of good stuff on it. They also have a vegan burger, a veggie sandwich, a veggie wrap, or you can make your own and use any type of vessel you'd like. My significant other had the club sandwich on Texas toast. The bread was just thick bread. Not what one might think of when they think of Texas toast, so he was pleased. It came with fries or tater tots. He opted for tater tots. Oh my goodness. What a huge sandwich! The salad that I got was big, but that sandwich! Holy smokes! Both of us enjoyed our food and our service was really good. I imagine we will be returning very shortly with our daughter, who will also appreciate the vegetarian options.

I just had the most bizzare experience. What happened to this place and do the owners ever check on it. I sit at the bar and notice a guy standing inches from the tv sucking on the bones from his wings. Then his whole tray of sauce goes flying. He grabs a eag and wipes the floor under his bar top then leaves the rag on the counter. His is licking his hands and wiping them on his pants. Then he delivers my food and i see he works here. He is rambling on and talking to himself. Wft is he on? Please tell me he is simply challenged and not tripping out on something. I ate my food with a fork and left Wtf guys?

Server? AMAZING. The rest? No. When you wait so long and the. The food that comes is cold? Sadly not ok.

The food here is REALLY good. We had wings, a burger, fries and a few beers. I would HIGHLY recommend the burgers... something about the burger was REALLY DELICIOUS. The wings were fine- nothing I would get again. They have a full bar as well, and a good selection of local beers on tap. They also have some weird margarita drink that you also add another drink to that a lot of people were getting... not sure what it was? The staff was really nice, and the setting is adorable. The ONLY reason we are giving Dustys a 3 star is because we literally waited almost 45 minutes just to get our beers. It was insane. We were there for close to two hours for some burgers and beers.... that is just silly. It was not busy and so I am not sure what the heck happened... We plan to come back next time we are in the mood for burgers, and hopefully the wait wont be as long.

Recently stopped in to Dusty's Hideaway for date night and loved it! Such a cute spot. I will say, I've passed it several times before and each time there were a few people sitting outside, but when we came on a Friday night, it was PACKED. Every outdoor spot was taken and for some reason the lower area where the cornhole and everything is, was sectioned off. Would've liked to sit down there but I'm sure they had their reasons! We ended up finding a spot in the bar which worked out great. Of course, we had checked out the menu before coming so we already knew what we were getting: Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich. There's rave reviews about the sandwich all over Yelp and my best friend also suggested it, so we had to try it. The Buffalo Cauliflower Bites were good, but didn't blow my mind. I'd probably get them again, that said. The ranch they're served with is a dill ranch and it was so good! The sandwich was also tasty, but I could've done with a little more heat and a little less honey. Beer choices are limited, I was surprised that they didn't have Bodhi given that Georgetown is local and overall a favorite amongst Washingtonians. They did have E9 (brewery located in Tacoma) available, so we went with one of their IPAs and it was good. Overall, my favorite thing about this place is the atmosphere/feel. It's an old house in Tacoma turned restaurant, and it just feels so homey and like everybody there is a friend! I'm sure we'll definitely return for another date night before the summer is over.

I had the Sam Elliot sandwich, which was very tasty! I was with a large party and service was great! Server was friendly and was not worried about us being a large group or taking our time. It's definitely not "fine dining" but a fun time! Next time I'm hoping the outdoor seating is available.

The person that sat us was clearly ready to go home not very friendly at all, our main server was great grilled cheese tots were good pulled pork sandwich unfortunately very dry

Such a great lunch outside! Smokehouse burger and hot honey chicken sandwich were amazing!! Great service!! And yummy slushy drinks! Definitely coming back and telling friends

This time we did not have any food. Friendly neighborhood place with great service. Great selection. Have non-alcoholic beverages too. Love the desert these.

Advertised as family friendly. Brought our 10 year old son and sat outside. Music absolutely inappropriate (N words, swearing, NSFW). Order was wrong and missing items. Food was terrible. We were there before happy hour and no one came to take our order until in ended. Never checked on once we got our food. We dine out frequently and are always looking for local places to support. We will not be back here again.

Loved it here ! Asked someone local where they liked to eat & they suggested this place (atmosphere, food, & drinks are amazing). Described it as a old house converted into a restaurant, dinning inside & outside in the yard. It was exactly that. Super cute. We decided to hangout in the yard. Picnic tables/lawn chairs & tables scattered around, string lights over head, corn hole in one corner, & umbrellas for shade. There was a good amount of people hanging out & more arriving as the evening went on. Great to hear people laughing & having a good time. Food was AMAZING!! Dusty Burger with (egg over easy) got my boyfriend hooked on burgers with eggs over easy & eggs over easy in general (we eat them on the weekends for breakfast). The food portions are definitely not skimped out on !! Burgers were nice big & juicy. All with their own unique combination. We ended up taking our leftovers home and enjoyed them later!

This review happened during the COVID-19 pandemic and is for in-person dining. This is a pretty casual dive bar that serves a variety of appetizers, burgers, and sandwiches. Bartenders are sweet and receptive when you first walk in and I was able to grab a seat in the back. Tables are socially distanced. I didn't see a hand sanitizer near the entrance though. Masks are required for entry. They also have an outdoor patio and yard with more seating outside! Drinks were good, particularly the Peanut Butter Jelly Time! I wouldn't call this a place to get fancy cocktails but what they do have is decent. I got the Dolly sandwich. Very well made sandwich with a runny egg yolk - IMO all sandwiches need to have a runny egg! The tots were very nicely fried but oversalted. The bartender was very attentive with our drinks and food. Everything came out quickly and as ordered. They had A Knight's Tale playing on their TV which was awesome. This place is great for a casual hang out!

Dusty's is awesome! Very charming relaxing wooden interior, with killer outside seating when the weather permits. The food is consistently stellar, not a single thing we have ordered has not been great. With all of that said, something has happened to the chickaronnes. They used to be seasoned with something incredible--the last two times we ordered them the seasoning has been absent from the dish and the magic is no longer there. Please contact the previous chef, compare notes, and get them back on track. We are regulars, although we won't be ordering the chickaronnes anymore...grrr

Santa fe wrap was perfect! Waitress was prompt and checked in frequently. The vibe of the restaurant was eclectic and definitely had a personality of its own! All in all fantastic
