Good eats!

We love living downtown because it is so easy to just walk to dinner and have a drink without worry about driving. Here are some of my favorites!
This is the must-visit place of Gig Harbor. Watch boats sail in and out of the harbor. Seasonal specials and happy hours menu, along with a wide selection of entrees. Good selection of beers on tap, wine and cocktails. The walls are lined with fan travel photos in their Tides gear from all over the world.

Best burger in town, hands down. Every time I go, there is a line out the door, so be prepared. Grab a beer and enjoy the truffle fries!

Head downstairs to have a drink with some of the best views of the harbor and Mt Rainier, if it is out. I love to get a bowl of clams and sourdough.

This requires a car, but I love to go here, bowl, play in the arcade and/or have one of their delicious flatbreads with a drink. The menu is always changing and they usually offer at least one vegan option.

If you have time on a weekend and want to go farther abroad in your explorations, this place is a do not miss in the PNW. The farm offers a variety of local cuisine, pizza, shellfish, ice cream - all brought in by vendors - which creates a vibe of casual fun. Hang out by the picnic tables and listen to live music or play a game of corn hole in the yard with a glass of cider or kombucha. It is a magical place.
