Powerhouse Restaurant Brewery

Well after moving from spanaway, this place has always been on my radar from having their beer at rainier growlers up the hill. I was not disappointed, we decided on nothing but appetizers and because my fiance always talked good about the fire chicken, i was pleased to see a dish on the menu to have it as an appetizer. We got the calamari, breast of fire, the wings and pretzel. The wings were the ghost pepper pineapple and I would recommend the. The flavor was more on a BBQ sauce side but there's definitely ghost pepper in there, but I like spicy things and it wasn't too hot for me. The best part of the wings were they seemed to be hand cut so you could tell someone in the kitchen actually prepared them(to me at least) the fire breast came with the perfect amount of bread to dip and the sauce my fiance talked up didn't let me down. I wanted to drink it straight it was so good. Creamy and spice with very well all balanced flavors. And the calamari didn't disappoint either. It was all wrapped up with a very nice waiter Brandon, he was very nice and made it very welcoming and loved that we were doing all apps. The beer was good as well. I really enjoyed the hazy whats hop to love, got the Meeker and the hopporator and on untapped they were all above a 4 for me. I will definitely come back for the fire chicken and beer each time. The decor was really cool too as I do electrician work and seeing the old school meters were very nice.

We came in on a busier night to meet with family and were told that we would have a 20 minute wait, and would be called when our table was ready. After waiting in the cold for 30 minutes with no phone call it turned out that our table has been given away with no notice to us. We ended up just awkwardly standing and waiting in the entryway after finding this out since we (understandably) couldn’t sit at the bar with a minor in our group, and there’s no other waiting area. We finally got seated after an hour of waiting. We were understanding since it was a bit busy, but we were never apologized to and still had to ask for basic things like water, silverware, etc. throughout the night because it wasn’t being brought to the table. The food & beer is good and I really want to like this place but I’m not sure I’d come back or recommend this place again after this experience.

We haven't been here in years and our waitress Rheza B was an exceptional example of what a waitress should be. Was a perfect balance of attentive & relaxed. She really made our return one that will bring us back fir more! Good was fantastic as well, great job, kudos to the cooks as well! Reasonably priced & fun music playing in a unique atmosphere! Great experience overall.
