Chimacum Cafe

Dirty divey old-school diner. Pretty tasty burger which was delivered to the table very quickly. The waitresses may date back to the 1955 opening of the restaurant.

I like many others who have written reviews on here, have eaten here many many times. I considered the chimacum cafe the best place to eat in Jefferson county. I kind of consider it a family coffee shop. Not a typical big city restaurant where you have to dress up. It's just a place where us locals get together have a meal talk with friends and leave the table feeling so full that you can't move.

Of course there's times when the service isn't going to be that great for one reason or another. I've been there had great service when the place was packed and people were waiting to get in. I've had terrible service when the place was packed. I've had the best service ever when no one was in the restaurant. And sometimes the food has been so amazing and it was like going to your grandma's on a Sunday afternoon for dinner. Other times it was sort of like the discount from the freezer and you're just heating it up for me? But generally I would say the food is pretty good. I know the breakfast portions are ginormous. And the pie is so good. I don't know why it's being so maybe the business just wasn't there it took a big hit during the beginning of the pandemic and that's really sad because we love this place. And I hope that whoever gets it will continue the family style dining and keep it local keep it warm keep it friendly because we need that.

We've stopped in here before and I think it will be a regular place to get a meal when we go up on the peninsula. The food is good, old-fashioned comfort food. The portions are large. The pies are amazing.

The pies are delicious! Must stop here for a slice of pie and then get one to go! Food was good. Solid dinner style club sandwich and the BLT was double decker. Nice spot!

Doing take out only, it's important to get the order right. Arriving at home to find it wrong is disappointing. Have eaten here many times, but tonight it was wrong. Ordered 2 French dips w/ 1 salad +1 fries. No fries! And I know they offer cheese but I have never wanted it, came w swiss (I would have preferred cheddar or really no cheese). Everything was good, just didn't want the cheese.
