After our relatively quick excursion in Seattle, we decided to drive home instead of hopping on a ferry boat again.
One of the towns on the way is called Gig Harbor. It is an adorable little town known for its beautiful waterfront and its maritime museum; a lot of history lies within Gig Harbor.
Although we did not make it down to the waterfront on this drive, we located a little restaurant off WA-16; (this area is considered uptown Gig Harbor), Someplace to eat other than McDonald's or Taco Time.
Sunset Grill is a casual, family-friendly restaurant that serves breakfast all day long; it also comes with a fully loaded lounge and bar.
Their menu offers 50+ items, from individual sampler items to specialty dinners and a little bit of everything in between, burgers, breakfast, soups and salads, and so much more!
Today I had the Veggie Burger; it was a tough choice because the club sandwich and taco salad was also calling my name; Veggie Burger won. My side was a dish of fresh fruit; although those onion rings were so tempting, I behaved myself and stoled one of my hubby's =D
The burger was flavorful and tasted a little different than what I've had at other restaurants; I did find out it was a new veggie burger on the market that they were trying out; well, it was great! My burger had lettuce, onion, and tomato. My side of fruit was fresh and full of flavor. Overall I was happy with my meal.
My hubby had the Monte Cristo, which is something he has failed to find around our general area. He chose onion rings with his sandwich.
His Monte Cristo wasn't a typical deep-fried sandwich that he had always gotten in the past; it was two pieces of french toast with ham, turkey, swiss, and cheddar cheese. So he rated it as a good but not great sandwich, and his onion rings were tasty and actually had onion in them, store-bought or hand-made; I don't know, I know they were good =D
*So the highlight of this lunch was our server Virginia; shout out to Virginia.
She was genuinely warm, had a great personality, and was funny. It was a pleasure chatting with her! She checked on us; we felt the proper amount of times, not too few, not too many, overall what I would consider an exceptional server!*
Sunset Grill was a little dated, but what I saw looked clean. No odd smells, sticky tables, sticky menus, or dirty floors; the restroom was the same, a little on the dated side, but when I saw it, it appeared clean!
So, visit Sunset Grill if you find yourself in Gig Harbor and want a great casual meal.
Sunset Grill's location is in Harbor Plaza, 4926 Point Fosdick Dr, Gig Harbor, WA. Getting to the restaurant is a bit confusing. It sits in a complex among many other businesses; I can't even go into detail about all the little companies around that area. Rest assured, there was plenty of parking around!

This was our second visit to this restaurant. It was about 7 years ago when we stopped in for lunch. As we entered the restaurant I noticed that this was a very clean restaurant. I visited the restroom and it was clean, so we decided to stay. The staff greeted us with a pleasant smile and quickly seated us. The breakfast was outstanding and our waitress was always there to insure of our needs. This was a pleasant breakfast and we met one of our waitress from Ben Du, The Clubhouse restaurant in Tacoma. We willl be back because of the employees, service, and meals.
Thank you
My favorite pancake in the world since I was 5yrs old. When they get busy they don't have enough staff to handle it. You can tell the staff dose the best they possibly can but they are so frazzled their service goes down. I never complain about it cause I can see they are stressed to the max. They really need a dedicated front receptionist on Sundays and Saturday mornings to answer to go order calls and check people out.
