Grizzly Den
Grizzly Den at 300 W Emerson Ave, Hoquiam, WA 98550, United States, is the kind of place that feels like home the moment you step through the door. A quick call to +1 360-537-9840 will get you set up with takeout, but sitting down here is where the real experience happens. The wooden interiors, friendly staff, and steady flow of locals make it clear that this is more than just a restaurant—it’s a gathering spot for the community.
The menu is a mix of hearty American comfort food and homestyle breakfasts that keep people coming back. Pancakes are fluffy and served in portions that can easily feed two, while the burgers are stacked high with fresh toppings and juicy patties. On my visit, I ordered their country-fried steak, which came out crispy on the outside and tender inside, smothered in rich gravy. A friend swore by the biscuits and gravy, and after tasting a bite, I understood why it’s one of the most talked-about items in local reviews. For those craving lighter options, the salads are fresh, and the sandwiches are generous without being overwhelming.
What makes this location stand out is consistency. Many diners can hit or miss with portion sizes or preparation, but here the flavors remain dependable across multiple visits. Experts on American diner culture often highlight that true value comes from not just the food, but the atmosphere. This spot delivers both: affordable meals, friendly service, and a setting that feels genuine. The trust is built not just by the food but by the steady loyalty of repeat customers who often recommend it as their go-to spot in Hoquiam.
From personal experience, Grizzly Den doesn’t try to reinvent dining—it sticks to the classics, done right. Whether you’re starting your morning with a hearty breakfast, stopping by for lunch, or ending the day with comfort food, this restaurant makes you feel like you’re part of the neighborhood.

I had the cheeseburger with everything & garlic fries. They don't have any combo meals the prices were a bit expensive and the portions made up for it. I didn't try the milkshakes I wasn't really in the mood my friend did and he said it was good. My buddy got the cheeseburger, fries (fresh) you can see them cutting the potatoes and a shake total cost I believe was $26. I just got the cheeseburger and we shared the fries (large portion & tasty) my cheese burger with all the trimmings was $12+change. It was a good burger hand pressed. Honestly, I couldn't see myself eating there regularly. Maybe once or twice a month maybe... It's not close to where I live and it was both our first time my buddy said he always passes by it and has always wanted to try it, so we did. If you're in the area I would give it a go. The staff was nice and helpful... The inside was clean, a small dining area though. All in all the burgers were good, the price was kinda on the high side, portions were bigger than other places. All in all a good experience ...
This place is AMAZING! I’ve seen it on my drive out to Ocean Shores and every time I think to myself, “I need to go there” and I finally did today. It did not disappoint! The burgers are phenomenal!! The fries…perfect! My kids loved the hot dogs and nuggets as well!! Their ice cream is so good and nice treat after the food. The staff there is so nice. I met the owners’ daughter and she was so kind and the cook was so nice and made sure our order was correct and fresh. It is 10/10 there and a place I will 100% be going back to
This is an awesome awesome place. It has a family environment. It's in a good scenic area away from the city. The service is amazing these people are very friendly helpful. Check on your food afterwards a tentative. The stores clean in the boots are very comfortable. I recommend eating here if you go by and you don't go there you're missing out.
This place is fantastic. There's burger was great but the bacon was even better. Definitely get bacon on whatever you're ordering. They also had fresh strawberry shakes which was a special so don't expect it to always be there. It was also great.
This is one of the best burgers I've ever had! They're always busy, but friendly and efficient. Their milkshakes are made from scratch (mine has fresh bananas in it). Yum!
