    I've been wanting to try this place every time I visit my daughter. Breakfast is my favorite meal and this place did not disappoint me. The food portions are good and you get what you pay for. The food is very good. I ordered my go-to, the Two egg breakfast with two sausage patties (big), hash brown, toast. I also got one buttermilk pancake to share with my wife. Everything was great. Serving size is worth the price, plus I won't be eating lunch today because I'll be full all day. My son-in-law got the Tacoma breakfast, it was huge and looked good. He said it was very good and he also will not be eating lunch today. The service was great. The waitress was friendly and came to our table often to check on us. I definitely highly recommend this place.

    Had a co worker from lacey area telling us about this place...so my boss and I were near his way and decided to check it out. Glad we did...massive chicken fried steak ... Got the Mt. Tahoma and ate the whole plate...fresh made biscuits...3 eggs..hashbrowns...hot chocolate... I must say I am completely stuffed to the gills... Great service and smiles make it a very friendly place to visit indeed. The Cafe was very clean and respectful. If you're in the area you will find this place a great stop...I-5 is right next to it.. A good stop for incase of hunger before you walk it off at the wildlife refuge next door. I will be back... thank you for a awesome meal. Remember to support your local business for they are the backbone of your community. Update..... stopped in again today...same great food and great service.... a must stop for me when I work up that way!...

    This cafe is a hidden gem!💎Our family has been coming here for the last 6 years and it never gets old! In fact it’s the one pit stop we make on our way to Seaside. The cafe gives the authenticity of old school diner and the food, it’s absolutely amazing! If your looking for a home cooked classic all American breakfast, lunch is diner that makes you feel at home, then this is the place for you! I highly recommend you check this cafe out, you won’t regret it.😉

    First off they have reward system... After 7 visits, you get a free entree!!! The booths are... authentic... So they need some updating... But other than that, the place is perfect. Food is divine, amazing and friendly staff, while also being on the cheaper side of going out. Food was delicious. I got biscuits and gravy while my wife had the oatmeal and we both had water, which stayed filled. Delicious and will definitely come back!!!

    Nice classic style diner located right off the interstate. Enjoyed the food, everything was well cooked. Service was good and they put a canteen of coffee on our table. Could have been a little cleaner and one booth was repaired with duct tape. Otherwise the place was in good shape with a pleasant atmosphere

    Small diner showing wear and tear on seats. If you don’t let this deter you, you’ll be awarded with hot fresh delicious food!! Great service where they actually check on you, make sure everything is good, & consistent refills (a lot of places sadly don’t even refill). Their ingredients were so fresh and it was just an overall amazing experience.

    We stopped here for a brunch on our way to Washington coast and we loved the food. The biscuits and gravy and sourdough toast are out of the world and worth every penny. The food was hot, fresh, and served promptly. It’s right off I-5 and very conveniently located. We’d love to come back again.

    Nice little road side joint, easy in, easy out. The place was busy but the wait wasn't long. Service was exceptional. The food was good, the Louisiana dish was very flavorful.

    the chicken fried steak and eggs are simply amazing. The portion size is far bigger than you'd expect. The steak and eggs breakfast is incredible too.

    Love this place!! I take my family here all the time. The kids eat free, the food is good, place is clean, bathrooms are immaculate, which shows they care about their customers (not that we go to a restaurant for the bathroom). The service is GOLD! You can feed your whole family here quickly and without breaking the bank.

    The fish and chips were so good and served nice and hot! This place has a great old school diner feel to it. Good service and good food.

    We needed a breakfast spot closer to the freeway, outside of the Seattle traffic & MCC came up in Google with high reviews. It did not disappoint. The service was great. The food was delicious & the restrooms were clean. The only thing I'd improve on is the duct taped booth seating, but for a local hike grown spot I completely understand why it takes longer than normal for updates! Focusing on food & service will help keep them around for a long time!

    My family LOVED the food. Service was great, refills literally even before we were finished, that was amazing. There was a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it. Best food in the area!!

    Today's environment creates a challenge for restaurants looking to provide reliably great food. Medicine Creek achieves what so many can't seem to at present. The biscuits and gravy are above par in texture and flavor. The classic egg plate with the usual accompanying meat, potatoes and toast provide a prime breakfast. The staff are friendly and attentive. I'm glad I found this place for breakfast. If you care about good food, try this place.

    Generous portions, well prepared delicious food. The fish and chips were very good. The cornedbeef wasn't too salty or pickley. The sausage gravy is freaking incredible. Staff was really nice. They could definitely use some new upholstery on their benches, they're extremely warn through. Fixed easily enough. I will definitely go there again. Too bad I took pictures after I had been eating already. 😁

    I got the Tahoma breakfast. The gravy wasn't soupy or taste like paste. Had a good texture and taste. Biscuits was on point. The hash browns were cooked just right not to hard or burnt. Definitely was a lot of food. Had to save the rest for dinner.

    We came by for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. My girls had a lot of fun playing with the wikki stix before ordering, and that was definitely something unique that you don't find at other restaurants! They ordered the typical kids grilled cheese and chicken strips, and I was happy to see the large variety of fruit on the side. We shared a chocolate shake and it was huge and delicious. I had a breakfast sandwich and it was pretty ordinary but not bad. I think the ground and chairs could have been a little cleaner, but it was an overall good experience. We were presently surprised to find out the kids meals were free!

    2 weeks later, I’m back ! This time it was a green chili burger, delicious ! Good fries and, again, good service. First review….. This is a good travel stop. Very friendly service. I had Eggs Benedict, very good, liked the carafe of coffee left on the table. The problem was that the hash browns were served room temp and had to be replaced. Recommended.

    The food was decent - I got a beer battered fish sandwich with fries. Came here again and ordered the classic breakfast - it was HUGE. While most restaurants have made their portions smaller and made their prices higher this place have seemed to kept it the same. It was great to have a hearty breakfast meal. Hash browns were outstanding without being oily Fries were delicious and my fish sandwich was pretty good - but a little over fried for my taste..everything else was on point. Great attentive service and the place itself had a very homey feel. Overall me and my friend enjoyed our time here.

    A delicious fluffy omelet and great service was what I had at Medicine Creek Cafe. It's our happy place to go for breakfast, burgers, or a great taco salad, we've never been disappointed.

  • 4/5 Chad B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little local place for breakfast and lunch, no dinner. Portions are good size so you will get your money's worth. Atmosphere is local to because it's owned by the local native American tribe. Great little Diner to enjoy a meal. I enjoyed the Mount Rainer breakfast in my recent visit. Large portion, great meal!!

    We had a function with 14 people, they were very accommodating, great service. I had the cod and chips and being a Brit the fish was the closest I’ve had to English style over here.

  • 5/5 Susan H. 2 years ago on Google
    The first thing I want to mention is when you patronize this restaurant you support a native owned business. It was my first time there and I enjoyed a delicious taco salad that may just be the best I have ever had. A nice and quiet atmosphere with friendly and warm staff that was a pleasure to meet. Thank you for a great experience!

    Just found this gem of a Cafe. Had the Patty Melt with fries. Cheese was perfect, gooey but not dripping (I have beard concerns.) Fries crispy and not over-salted (wife stole half). She had Crispy Chicken Salad. Nice and fresh ingredients. Wait staff very friendly. Can't wait to go back and try the homemade corned beef hash breakfast.
