Harmon Pac Ave

Met some friends here today (someone else chose) and I have to say this is a big place in an old building! It's probably a hoot when busy!

Service was excellent kinda as you would expect with 3 servers and three occupied tables. It was a lunch gathering and our server did an excellent job of keeping track of which couple ordered what. Personally, I prefer one check and split it evenly. But there are those who want it to the penny. And by golly, that's how we got it.

I had a couple of their own brews: a porter which was excellent and their blond ipa which was good but not remarkable.

Everyone agrees the meals were good, me too! But not remarkable, simply good pub food. Which was as it turned out was exactly what the six of us wanted.

I will return and hopefully the place is packed.

Out with the old, in with the new! Since changing chefs, Harmon has gone into a much better direction. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich which seems pricey until the food arrives and they basically give you an entire chicken. It was simple, classic, no frills, just a delicious and well-made sandwich.

Happy to see the Harmon return to form!

Waitress was friendly and accommodated providing a list of ingredients for my allergies. I have an autoimmune disease and the only thing I could order on the menu was a salad , with salmon. I wish the menu was a bit more extensive. I was in a big group and our food was delivered quickly. My salmon was tender, but the salad itself was boring. I wish it would have had asparagus or avocado on it.
Many of my friends ordered the salmon and grits- the sauce was bland, one friend had to send her salmon back it was too charred/grilled and another said theirs was dry.
The tater tots were the best we ever had.
Black bean burger was pretty good, has a good sauce.
Fish crust was light, maybe frozen? A bit greasy. Fries not hand cut or anything special.

The food was amazing everything was pretty good other than the customer service took a little bit to get back to us for orders at the time staff was low for the kitchen. Other than that the experience was amazing always love going to this place drinks are great. they have live performers on Thursdays I believe. 4 out of 5

I used to love this place back in the day, but I understand that it has new owners. They no longer brew their own beer and the food is greasy and unappetizing. My fried chicken sandwich had an unpleasant taste of burned flour (I had to peel off all the breading to eat it). The servers were all polite and hard-working but seemed all too used to customers complaining about the poor quality of food. This place needs some new management.

I popped in here for lunch and the service is amazing. Manager and the waitress were super nice. Such an amazing vibe and the building is beautiful. I had black bean burger and fries. I absolutely enjoyed the fries. The black bean burger was fine. It crumbled to pieces as soon as I put a knife in it. I also had a glass of sparkling which was delicious!! Good price, good people and good vibes.

Great place located in downtown Tacoma. Friendly and efficient service. Amazing craft burgers and dip sandwiches. Great beer selection. Clean and well spaced tables.

This place fell off sooo bad. Used to be one of my go-to spots. It's a damn shame. Came back for the first time in years to find they literally had none of the multiple menu items I used to order. Had me looking stupid in front of my family, nobody liked their food and the service was slow. It seems like the other reviewers caught wind of the menu changes too. New ownership maybe??

I miss old Harmon :(

Been here a handful of times. Solid brewery in a great location on Pac Ave in downtown tacoma.

Food is surprisingly good each time we go. I'm not sure why I expect the food to be worse, but we're always pleasantly surprised.

**Beer judge biased opinion** Beer here is solid. Not life-alteringly good, but it's pretty solid, with a decent range of styles on tap.

Absolute must visit for any out of towners, and is a semi-regular on our rotation. The food here is the real draw, beer is good but not the best in town.

I'm limited in my reviews because unless something stands out I'm happy to have just tried a new place.
However this place STOOD OUT and not in a good way. 3 of 3 beer tasters I couldn't bring myself to finish, the sweetness of an unfinished fermentation prevailed all three.
I tried the Greek Freak lamb burger @ $19 the basic bun was lacking and wrapped an intensely over spiced lamb patty. The excess of spices completely overpowered the flavor that should have accompanied the lamb.
Is there any Quality Control done front or back of house?

The server was pleasant and attentive but left hung out to dry by the establishments sub par food and drink.
