Shari's Cafe and Pies - Olympia

Came here around 7:30pm on a Sunday for some sweets and coffee. I got the biscuits and gravy and they were fairly good, perfect amount of gravy for the biscuits. The stuffed hash browns were crunchy and good. The Marion berry pie was tart and delicious, we got it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.. YUM. The lemon meringue pie was fluffy and a great tang. The chocolate cream pie was so yummy, we dumped coffee on it just for the fun of it. Of course coffee was as good as any diner drip coffee but the waitress hooked it up with creamers. I use about 3 in mine and she refills the coffee when its low. The waitress was very friendly and directed us how to get the free slice of pie when we asked how.

The service was okay and the turkey club I got was ok. I was hoping for the house made ranch but it was bottled. Coffee was a little weak but the Marionberry pie was really good.

To all service members, if you are in a hurry, do not visit this restaurant. After waiting for 30 minutes, we had just placed our order and were informed that there were 3 tables ahead of us, resulting in another 30 minute wait for our food. Despite arriving at 10:20, our order was not taken until 10:45 and our food did not arrive until 10:55. The restaurant was not busy, yet our waitress was preoccupied with chatting and helping another waitress pack a pie. She was also quite rude whenever she did come to our table. The food was mediocre and the coffee was weak and watery. Additionally, they only provided one creamer per cup of coffee.

Went there at around 9pm on a Saturday night. A host greeted us and said we would be seated soon. About 10 minutes afterwards another waitress seated 2 groups that came in after us. Even though we had been waiting in line. Not sure if the waitresses were communicating with each other, busy, or that they just favored people they knew. Finally we were seated and ordered a slice of the cherry and apple pies, coffee, water. The water never came but the pies and coffee did. The pies were ordinary, the generic type you would find at a local grocery store. Not a lot of fruit, mostly jam. The environment feels like a trip back in time. 1960s music, brown vinyl couches, wooden chairs, old fashioned country designs. I really wanted to like this place since it seems popular around this area but the shortage of staff and an unspectacular product just tainted the experience. Anyways, expect to wait a while for a seat.

Nastiest place I have ever tried to come eat a meal at. I found a long blond hair in my food and when I told the manager Amanda she laughed about it and took the hair out and said it's fine it's clean Outside I seen a rat running from the side door!! Beware !! Do not come eat here! I will be reporting this to the department of health for this disgusting service !
