I would recommend The Historic Mint for lunch. I had a delicious chicken burger with fries. The Service was outstanding. I enjoy going to a restaurant when the tables are kept clean. I would recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner.

This place has the most amazing Jambalaya ever. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly to everyone. I also recommend the fried pickles. They have lots of other great options as well. The place is clean and has that old school Saloon type of feeling to it that you would see in Western movies. Great great food.

Jambalaya best ever!!! 2 orders were made as part of a large group. We asked them to make it extra spicy. The chef did a great job! Portion size was good too! This was a busy night...service was great!

This is a great spot to stop by for a bite after a long day hiking in Mt Rainier. The staff are friendly and helpful to accommodate meals for vegetarian or vegan dietary restrictions. The interior is ~cool~ and rustic vibes. The only con is that it is a bit smoky in the restaurant, which can be difficult for people with asthma or sensitivity. It can a little bit hard of hearing or muffled sounds if you are seated in the very front. But nonetheless it is a great spot to visit and get together a group of 6+ people! Con: smoky in the restaurant, a little bit hard of hearing/muffled sounds

While The Mint Restaurant & Alehouse was founded in 1906 and re-opened in 2013, my first visit was today, Wednesday 2 August 2023, so I am a bit of a late comer as a 1990s-born Washingtonian. The street parking around the restaurant was 2 to 3 hour parking and I did not have trouble finding an open spot a couple streets away. A hostess greeted me at my entry and I was served by a friendly waitress. I got a table towards the front of the restaurant to myself, I was a solo diner. After first taking a seat with my back to the window, I repositioned myself choosing a stool facing the entrance of the restaurant. I enjoyed this view as I could see out the front window and watch what was going on in the town of Enumclaw from my field of view. Quiet music played in the background and did not overpower my audial experience. For my food and drink, I got water and the Mint's cheeseburger with fries. The cheeseburger came with a white cheddar cheese I enjoyed. None of the toppings, nor the patty nor the bun were too thick. The burger sauce (a smoky mayo) was subtle, but tastable. The fries were crisp with a warm and fluffy interior. I finished it all in one go and found I was not overly full.
