Cooks Tavern - Tacoma (WA)

5 /5 Teddy Randall: My husband, my friend, and I had a fantastic time. We lucked out with a minimal wait, but be prepared for a line out the door—this place is popular! I loved the Rasta Bowl, and we enjoyed mimosas with our meal.

5 /5 Michelle Strickler: We found our new favorite place. We’ve been here four times now. As it’s been mentioned in other reviews, they have their regular menu, but then they also have a special menu they change every 3 months. The first time we were here, it was a Brazilian theme. Everything was excellent! Their latest theme is New Orleans, LA. My 15 year old son is the true test. He loves everything he’s ordered. He even said it’s the best hot chocolate he’s ever had. For the latest menu, we have tried it all. All of it is sensational!! My husband loves the Cook’s Old Fashion to drink. I love their espresso martini. Last night we had the Bourbon Street Blackened Bird, Zephyr’s Ziti, Big Al’s Pork Tenderloin, and one of their staples, The Grilled Hanger Steak. If you’re looking for a new place to try, this is a great place! We always get wonderful service by the staff! Thank you!!

5 /5 LAURIE GRANVOLD: My husband and I had breakfast today, but have eaten here many times. Their food is always delicious and we enjoy trying something new especially when they have their specials. Currently they are featuring specials with Jamaican flavors. I did have their usual Breakfast Sandwich: fried eggs, bacon, sharp cheddar, caramelized onion jam and tomato on a telera roll. My husband ordered from their Jamaican special the Rasta Bowl: roasted sweet potatoes sautéed with red bell peppers, kale, onions, butter beans served over coconut rice with a pair of egged, cilantro and pickled red onions. They serve large quantities of food for a reasonable price. If you haven’t been there, it’s a must try!

4 /5 Mariela Sanchez: I love a brunch place that does the classic dishes with a twist, and this is that place. The eggs Benedict I ordered were called like Bawg eggs Benedict? They were layered with collard greens and like, a pulled pork and so good. My husbands breakfast came with a biscuit and that was great too and we liked how the portion sizes fit the prices. The menu seems to change because the pictures I saw online are slightly different from what we got. Like the ube pancakes were nowhere in the menu, but everything sounded and looked great! Only gave it 4 stars since after plates arrived, we werent checked on. We totally get it, our server was busy busting out all these fancy looking drinks. He was super nice and attentive before that though. We will definitely be back to try something else. And also, get the bignets. We didnt because of not being checked on after and we needed to leave but we saw everyone else getting a bag to go and we regret not having more time to try some.
