Lakeside Grill At Tapps Island
Explore Lakeside Grill At Tapps Island
If you’re looking for a relaxed lakeside dining spot with memorable scenery, Lakeside Grill At Tapps Island offers a setting that’s hard to match. Nestled right along the water, this restaurant combines casual comfort with some of the most striking views in the area-on clear days, you can take in sweeping sights of Lake Tapps and even the majestic Mount Rainier in the distance. The atmosphere leans easygoing and welcoming, making it a popular stop for people spending time by the lake who want to unwind with a meal afterward.
Inside, the space has a laid-back charm, with large openings that connect the dining area to the outdoors. There’s also a deck area that’s been improved with an awning, so guests can enjoy the fresh air without worrying about the harsh sun. While parts of the interior could use a bit of updating, the overall vibe remains pleasant, especially when paired with the natural beauty surrounding the restaurant. The staff here tend to be friendly and accommodating, contributing to a warm, approachable experience even during busier times.
As for the food, the menu focuses on approachable, satisfying dishes at reasonable prices. While the offerings are fairly simple, there’s an emphasis on delivering solid quality, and there have been efforts to refine the menu to focus more on well-executed favorites rather than a wide variety. It’s the kind of place where the meal complements the experience rather than overshadowing it-good food enjoyed in a great setting.
What really stands out, though, is the combination of lakefront ambiance, mountain views, and a relaxed dining environment. Whether you’re stopping by after a day outdoors or just looking for a scenic place to eat, this spot creates a memorable backdrop for a casual meal.

We had a great time. The service staff were awesome, they accommodated are wishes, and needs. The fireplace added to the ambience and atmosphere. They changed the table clothes to white to help create the mood for our event. Our evening was intimate and we enjoyed the food and drinks. Thank you staff at Lakeside Grill. I can’t wait to visit you guys again.

I actually went here for the view. That's it. We got a nice table facing mount rainier while I enjoyed a chilled beer watching the sunset. They have a large outdoor seating and almost all tables boast a nice view. Pretty great spot. The service was pretty good and about 8pm on Sunday it was not too crowded. I took the new York strip which came with mashed potatoes, seasonal veggies and gravy. My wife got the chicken with mushrooms and mashed potatoes from the entree. The chicken tasted great but was a bit over cooked. My steak was well cooked and I really liked it.

We made reservations and were told the patio was first come first serve usually so when I showed up I wasn’t expecting to have a patio seat. But we got lucky! This is my new favorite place. Beautiful view, friendly/attentive staff and fantastic food and drinks! Seems like a cool place to visit more often :) My kids were able to go off and play at the play ground during our visit. Seriously, What a great view!!!!

We enjoyed dinner here last weekend. The view is beautiful! Great service and delicious food. I highly recommend the salmon with risotto.

This place has a beautiful view of Mt. Rainier over the golf course and lake. The waitresses were very attentive and pleasant even though it was a busy evening. The food was really good, I had the meatloaf, my date had the elk burger, we both commented on how good it tasted. All and all it was a very pleasant experience, and we didn't really pay any more than what you'd pay at a decent grill without the view. Will definitely be recommending this place to people.

Beautiful mountain view. Food was decent price and quality. The server was good, but scarce. Atmosphere was good... The room with the roll up door could use some sound absorbers. The deck now has an awning, so no more blistering sun.

The restaurant needs a face-lift. The staff is wonderful. The food is fairly good. They are apparently changing the menu to have a few less choices, but focus on quality. I'm looking forward to that. The view is the best you'll find of Mt Rainier. On a clear day you will have a spectacular view of the lake, the pool, the mountain and some beautiful houses on the adjacent island. It doesn't get any better than that!
