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.
The food was absolutely wonderful and very friendly service.Very nice place.
We stopped into town on our way North and found this place. Great food and really friendly owners.
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!
The best food ever!!! Highly recommend!!
Took my granddaughter there yesterday for lunch. The customer service was awesome, and I would highly recommend their baked potato with pulled pork, not to forget mentioning their smoked Mac n’ cheese. Sampled some smoked salmon spread offered to us from the owner, and found it to be delicious.I would definitely return there, and recommend it to everyone I know.
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♡
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.
The food was fresh and cooked to perfection
No matter what you think you're walking into, you'd be incorrect. The vision of the owner of this space had is impressive and the menu is both comfortable and unique
Lovely salmon panini, nice restaurant attentive waitstaff
incredible salmon chowder and mac & cheese. The service was perfectly nice. Will definitely return. Will recommend to all friends and family to come here. Great addition to Chehalis best smoked salmon I've ever had, and salmon chowder without a doubt.
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.
Danielle and staff are a delight. Lovely place, lovely food. Don’t leave without trying the chowder! 10/10 would recommend
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.
Super good food at a good price. Best smoke salmon I’ve had. Will definitely be coming back
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.
Excellent food and service! Will totally be back. Lots of cool handmade items to look at while you wait for your food. Great spot in downtown Chehalis.
Best smoked salmon mac and cheese! Will definitely be back for the legendary salmon chowder
Perfect service! The food is delicious! If you're a fan of chowder or Mac & Cheese, you'll definitely love it here! The place and perfectly clean and open. The boss and employees are open and friendly. Come here if you're in the Chehalis area!
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!
Amazing Amazing Amazing . Must try the smoked salmon Mac and Cheese! Great food and service. Every bite of lunch was great.
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....
Extremely friendly service and the food was amazing for lunch!
Incredibly tasty smoked fish. Full stop. The chowder was incredible, the sandwich was fighting for the number one spot - super inviting space as well, I'll have to go back and check out the artisan offerings!
Went there on a Friday early afternoon.The salmon smelled good. I was able to enjoy the smell before even tasting it. It tasted good, too - no fishy smell.The chowder was rich and not too salty. The ratio of salmon, potatoes (?), and soup was good - no obtrusive chunky feeling. Herbs added complexity to the taste in a good way.The salmon mac & cheese avoided a common issue encountered by certain bacon mac & cheese - the salmon and mac and cheese worked together instead of the salmon's stealing all the spotlight. The amount and types of cheese made the mac & cheese alone taste good, and the smoked salmon further added complexity of texture and flavor to the whole dish.The herby bread that came with the mac & cheese was surprisingly good.The salmon panini was good, but I haven't thought of how to describe the delicious spread.The seating was good. Good space between different tables, and nice street or store view (depending on the direction). The store was a relaxing place with clean interior and comfortable atmosphere to shop some interesting products, such as rather unusual kind of soap, tea, sauce, salad dressing, etc.The owners (?) and staff were friendly and sometimes identified our needs before we said anything.Those who like the smoked salmon and/or spread can buy some to take home, too.The experience was relaxing and great.
First time being here, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy with a lot of items to look at while I waited for my food. The salmon Mac n cheese was delicious, small serving perfect to fill you up. Service was very fast I was in and out less than 20 minutes and had enough time to eat and look around within the 20 minutes. Go here if you want friendly and fast service. I also like how enthusiastic the staff were about showing me around.
If we could give more stars we would! Delicious food amazing service!
Amazing! You have to try it all! Soooo good! Service, food, atmosphere, all amazing. Definitely recommend!
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).
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.
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.
Food is fabulous. Went with group of six people. Everyone loved their food. Especially the clam chowder, smoked salmon Mac&cheese, pulled pork, panini and salad. Everything has delicious smoked salmon on or in it. The place is bright and fresh and the owners are attentive and efficient. Oh yea, let’s not forget the homage carrot cake. I would give them 10 stars if I could.
Superb and delicious! Wonderful, friendly owners. I had the Salmon chowder with a Pulled Pork sandwhich. Chowder was creamy and rich with nice sized salmon chunks. The pork was ,tender, juicy and lean. Will be on my top places to dine list.
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!

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!!!
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. 🙂

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!!
