Reviews Summary
Tommyknocker's Cornish Pasty is praised for its delicious and versatile menu, particularly its famous pasties and exceptional Mac & Cheese. The restaurant is lauded for its friendly staff and accommodating vegan options, though some diners have noted issues with service speed and pre-ordered gratuity. Despite minor critiques, it's a highly recommended spot for a hearty and satisfying meal.
"Every single plate that came out of the kitchen looked out of this world. I wanted to order the entire menu. We enjoyed the Washington Apple Salad, Potato Leek Soup, Tofu Gyros, and the Eggplant Lentil Lasagna. All dishes are unique, fun, and oober flavorful. The beers on tap are local and delicious. We enjoyed the Pilsner and Munk IPA (one of my favorite IPAs I’ve ever tasted) by Port Townsend Brewing. The entire staff is warm, inviting, and answered all our curiosities. If I lived here, I’d come back every Wednesday to try the Vegan Dish of the week. The interior is comfortable for any weather and every season. Highly recommend!!"

"Really great Sunday night dinner here. All the food was tasty, and I was pleasantly surprised at how big the pasties were. The salmon chowder was a hit with my kids. Would definitely eat here again."
Chris Rakunas
"This place is stupid good. FYI Most dishes are share portions. Bangers and Mac is amazing. Their salads are ginormous. Friendly staff and pretty quick in the kitchen. Very reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food served. The staff and the owner are awesome!!! You cannot go wrong here."

I’m vegetarian and gluten free, so it was awesome that they had both options readily available. The farmers soup was tomato bisque and it had great flavors!. My boyfriend had the Mac and cheese and he said it was better than Beecher’s Mac and cheese, so you know it’s pretty good!
