Nisqually Bar & Grill

I'd give 2 stars for the food. Meatloaf sandwich was way too salty to eat. Lo-cal Grilled Chicken meal was tough as leather. Wait staff gets 4 stars for service. They comped the meals. Maybe they need to get a cook that can match the quality of the servers. Salad, tomato slices and beer...all good.

My husband, daughter & myself went last night for the first time ever as it's very close to home. However, it will be the last time we go there. Interesting atmosphere, with loads to look at on the walls and ceilings. The food was just ok, though my daughter said her sirloin steak was very good. But our server, who was also working as the bartender, was awful. From the first moment she walked over to our table, it was clear she had a chip on shoulder. I don't know her name as she never introduced herself. She was extremely curt and unfriendly throughout. She only said what was barely necessary, and not a word more to the point that the 3 of us were stunned by her demeanor. It's not like the place was super busy, and even if it had been, if she had been friendly and pleasant, I wouldn't even be leaving this negative review. When your food is just ok, your staff needs to be ON POINT to attract and keep customers coming back.nnThere was another woman who brought our food to the table, and she was so MUCH nicer in the short interaction we had. I have been a server before, my daughter is currently a server, and we like to go out and we tip well when service is good, and we tip exceptionally well when service is great. I know everyone has a bad night on occasion, but it NEVER should be reflected in your interactions with your customers. It pains me to leave bad reviews, especially in tougher economic times, but I wanted to share our experience. If it had been a good experience, we could have been repeat customers.

Very cool family friendly bar. So much nostalgia to look at while watching sports on one of many tvs. Our 8 year old son loved it all as well. Food and service is great too

The food was very disappointing, it used to be good but has gone down hill.. but the staff was great... friendly and very attentive...

Good atmosphere good food. Stopped in as a rest stop and grab a bite while on my travels and would recommend this place to others.
