This place is a true hidden gem. It is tiny inside, maybe 10 tables. But don’t let it deceive you. The owner, staff, and food is absolutely top notch. The portions are huge (shareable size) and the flavors are amazing. We got the hash, lobster bomb, French toast, and the pancake because it all sounded to good to pass. I highly recommend this place to any and everyone. I promise you will go home with a happy full belly.

There's an excellent reason this tiny gem of a restaurant is featured in 100 Things to do in Tacoma Before You Die!! Absolutely incredible, locally-sourced food, with enormous portions served in an eclectic, homey atmosphere. Tibbett's is famous for their brunch Lobster Bomb, but we chose the mushroom omelet and salted caramel banana pancake - both were delicious! The chef comes out to speak to each guest, too, making you feel like family. Seating is by reservation only, so call ahead. Highly recommended!

If you like quirky finds, little hole in the walls, pleasant surprises, then this is it. The food is wonderful! Farm to table and you can taste the difference. Chef comes out to say hello and will tell you his story if you ask. The service is on point and friendly. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Quiche and was delightfully surprised. My husband ordered the Hash It Out, and really enjoyed it. Portions are big and we had some to take home.

This place is worth the drive from anywhere in Washington state. The owner gave are family a vip experience. It was probably the freshest restaurant food I have ever ate. It was an amazing experience. I did not know what to expect, but it was mind blowing how much passion the owner and staff had for their love for customers serving and the food. Small spot make a reservation but a rad spot. The quality and quantity for the price was amazing. Plus background music was on point. Well beyond my expectations. Must try in the 253!

First of all just call and make your reservation and go! Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Tibbitt’s this past weekend. You walk in that door and you’re instantly family. Shawn and his staff are quite amazing. They all take pride in what they do and it shows. Shawn spoke with every single customer and asked everyone’s name. I’ve never seen that before. But I loved it. He even took my husband and I back and showed us kitchen and spoke with us on such a personal level. I could go on for forever about the hospitality but let me get to the food. I had the lobster bomb. I love food. I would say I’m a self described foodie. I was not expecting that first bite to be that good. It made me dance. I could have cried it was so good. Food doesn’t make me cry
