South Sound's diverse cultural makeup and proximity to fresh seafood and local farms makes for some of the best dining in the Northwest. From Tacoma to Olympia, Puyallup to Gig Harbor, we can help you discover the freshest sushi, biggest hamburgers, best pad thai, juiciest flat iron steaks, the tastiest gourmet hot dogs and most inventive small plates.

This region offers a wealth of restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars. The Weekly Volcano staff has been noshing and sipping through this region longer than any media source in the area. We know where to eat. And we are on the scene to alert you when a menu changes, a happy hour starts and when a new treasure opens.
