"Stopped through here for some breakfast before going to explore. Service was fantastic and coffee was good. I ordered the chicken fried steak, while it wasn't BAD it definitely left something to be desired. The meat cutlet was definitely frozen not house made (not that they claimed it was) and the hash browns were undercooked. The "biscuit" reminded me more of a yeast roll than an actual biscuit and had raw flour CAKED on it. They nailed the eggs and my wife loved her omelet. There is definitely a lack of options in this area. So for a good filling meal, check them out."

"Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner as we were passing through town. Our waitress was great - very friendly and checked on us regularly. They have beautiful artwork throughout the restaurant, including the booth tables! Our food came out hot and fresh, and hit the spot after a long day of hiking."

- Liz

"This is a delightful place, and these people posting meh reviews must be unhappy in their own lives. Our waitress was lovely, and the (diner style) food was delicious. The biscuits are especially good! And the table art, mural, and long history of being family owned give it so much charm."

- Betsy A.

"Unique locally owned & operated family run restaurant. The food was good "home-cookin' " quality. We were there for breakfast. I really liked the atmosphere! Each wooden slab table-top had a hand-painted nature scene on it, then shellacked over. I was visiting with the waitress & she told me there were 3 different artists that painted the table designs through the 35+ years her family has owned & operated the restaurant. There is also a large hand-painted mural on the wall of the restaurant. If you find yourself in Forks, WA, stop at the In Place for a great meal!"
