I did not dine in, but service was great and fast. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. The best I have had anywhere around here. Super impressed.
Very quaint place great for family, lunch get together, or just by yourself. Staff are always polite and courtious. The food is fantastic and they offer neat local hand made craft and grassroots small business hand made products. The atmosphere and decor is great. Highly recomend!
The food is amazing and to die for! Literally everything we ordered was incredible. Salmon chowder, salad, Mac n cheese, tuna melt…. All of it! EVERYTHING! Must eat here more often!
Food here is incredible. Smoked salmon is easily the best I've ever had no doubt. The bratwurst was so tasty. And service is spot on. Will definitely recommend and return for sure. 🙂
Good lord this place is amazing. The portions are filling. We had the clam chowder, smoked salmon Mac n cheese, side salads and tuna melt. It’s so good it’s actually offensive. The staff is incredible and welcoming. You can tell they take genuine pride here.
My partner and I were driving through the area and wanted a snack. We shared the baked potato and the salmon chowder cup. So glad we did lovely people run this place with incredible food.
Salmon panini, lox and bagel, green salad all excellent. Awesome find in chehalis!! Super friendly
This locally owned restaurant rose above all of my expectations! We recently visited for the first time when my MIL & FIL came to visit. My fiancé and his mom and stepdad LOVE salmon, however I do not. All four of us were extremely pleased with our dinner choices (something for all). The very sweet owners (husband and wife) were great. The wife was our server and very friendly and the husband actually did the entire remodel of the place himself (it's a gorgeous, roomy space). I cannot recommend this local restaurant enough! (Photos show the salmon quiche with pickled onions and the Epic Baker).
Some seriously amazing food here, great flavor, beautifully crafted dishes, and a fair price. This pulled pork can hang with the best of them in Texas in my opinion.The servers were very welcoming and friendly, with a great atmosphere and cool gifts to shop after eating.Now I have to bring the family back to eat again!
What a great addition to downtown! My husband had tuna melt with smoked cheese on sourdough and I had smoked salmon quiche. Both were sooooo good! Garnishes included a big chunk of flavorful pickled onion. Each lunch came with a beautiful and delicious green salad which was much more than a typical house side salad. On this beautiful summer day, we grabbed the one table out front on the sidewalk in the shade and our little dog took a nap at our feet. The owner is delightful and cares about every detail. He took our order, delivered our food, checked on us and bussed our table. We hope someday he opens a second location in Longview, his hometown. It was definately worth the drive for us - we now have another reason to visit Centralia.
The smoked salmon panini here is seriously amazing!! The folks working there were super friendly as well. Definitely plan to return next time we’re in the area.
Fantastic food, with friendly staff and amazing owners. Got the pulled pork baked potato and it was the best potato I’ve ever had, the onion sauce is absolutely amazing and my new favorite sauce. Cute little place with lots of unique items as well
Love this place. The smoked BBQ sandwich was great. Upgraded my combo to the salmon chowder. Wow it hit the spot. Topped it off with some of his smoked salmon from the display case.... I'll be back for sure...m
Great food and awesome service! The salmon chowder is is amazing! This is a must stop.
Amazing little spot! Great atmosphere with locals in there selling amazing soaps and homemade goods… the service at the smokehouse was fast and friendly, with some amazing smoked fish and smoked cheeses… and their spread… on my goodness out of this world!! Can’t wait for my next visit!
Very nice experience! Great portions. Gluten free bagel available. I had the smokehouse baked potato. Fantastic!
We stopped into town on our way North and found this place. Great food and really friendly owners.
Lovely salmon panini, nice restaurant attentive waitstaff
If we could give more stars we would! Delicious food amazing service!
The smoked salmon clam chowder was incredible and everything else I had was very good, large portions. Also owner was very nice
Me and my husband had dinner here when we were visiting the area. They were very accommodating over a dietary restriction I have. The food was great and I especially liked the salmon jerky we got "to go". The atmosphere was quiet, laid back and the staff was friendly. We would definitely visit again if we're ever in the area.
Absolutely loved the salmon panini with the house salad! I didn’t get a dessert but they looked amazing and really complemented the shop. I’ll definitely be making this one of my regular stops!
I’ve eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. This husband and wife team are fabulous. He does most of the cooking while she does serving. I think it’s great how he’ll come around and talk to tables if he has time to make sure things are alright. The rest of the staff is also helpful and friendly. They are a wonderful addition to downtown Chehalis.
Fun laidback spot for a quiet lunch or a dinner celebration. A small group of friends stopped in for a birthday lunch midweek. We had a great time. The staff was great and the food was nice. It was fun to have some different items on the menu to choose from; salmon, smoked cheese, albacore tuna....
I had the salmon panini for the first time today. Oh my! The bread was a perfect buttery crunch for the excellent salmon
Wonderful food; personable service; and comfortable place for a delicious lunch and leisurely chat with friends! Owners are delightful. Can’t wait to visit again!
Loved every bite at our casual lunch at this new spot. An unexpected gem! Delicious pulled pork sandwich, smoked salmon chowder and smoked salmon panini! Side green salads were so fresh & healthy too. Owner Frank is on site and pride of ownership shines through. Service fast and friendly.
The best food ever!!! Highly recommend!!
I ordered the Salmon Chowder and it was amazing, I 100% recommend everyone to try it out, Great service and hospitality felt very welcomed from the moment I stepped in the door.
The food here is delicious and fresh. Great customer service. Very friendly owner who takes the time to check on us. Local artesian shop with gifts, snacks, and lots of other goodies. Shop local♡
The food was amazing and the staff was awesome! Definitely will be back and will be telling our family and friends about this place!

Best pulled pork sandwich ever. I’m a bit of a pulled pork connoisseur. I’ve even smoked my own. I can’t come close to the amazing flavor delivered by these guys. I’LL BE BACK!!!

I am from out of town and was meeting friends here for lunch. All of us were delighted with the food, service and atmosphere. I had the salmon chowder and it was delicious! My taste buds were very happy. The couple that own and operate this were very personable and you could tell that they are putting their heart and soul into this place.
Super cute refinished restaurant. Kid friendly. Paninis were delicious, and the smoked salmon chowder was out of this world!
My husband and I had lunch here for our anniversary. We were very impressed with the flavor of the food. We shared the Epic Potato.....DELIOUS!! I had a cup of chowder on the side. We ordered the Mac n Cheese to go for our daughter. She really enjoyed her dish as well. We will return soon and we encourage everyone to check this place out!! The coffee is excellent too, strong!!
