Crockett's Public House - Maple Valley

When I ordered a wine flight (the menu only describes it as a red flight without specifying the types), the server placed it down and said, “I don’t know what each one is,” before walking away again. The service felt rushed and as though the server was annoyed we were there. I truly hope they can improve in the future because there are some excellent items on the menu.

On my last visit, I ordered the Public House Meatballs, which included mozzarella and garlic breadsticks alongside pork meatballs. Unfortunately, the next day I found myself suffering from a bad case of stomach flu. The last thing I consumed was that pork meatball dish, and we all know that pork needs to be cooked with care—undercook it, and it can be risky; overcook it, and it's tough. When I dined, the restaurant was only moderately busy, with maybe a dozen other patrons. If it had been peak hours and the meatballs were rushed, I could understand a slip in cooking. But since the restaurant was calm, I was surprised to find the meatballs undercooked. It’s possible that something else I ate that day contributed to my illness, but given that I only got sick later that evening and into the next day, I suspect the meatballs were the culprit. If you decide to eat here, I would recommend avoiding pork and chicken, as they might not be cooked thoroughly. However, I don’t think it’s highly likely that you’ll actually get food poisoning from ordering dishes like the Public House Meatballs, but paying $25 only to end up with food poisoning would certainly feel like a rip-off.

We enjoyed a delicious burger and had an excellent server. The atmosphere was quick and clean, and the restaurant is conveniently located on the way to Mount Rainier. It's definitely worth stopping in for a meal while traveling through. Parking was ample, considering the number of nearby businesses.

As Maple Valley locals, we love Crockett's! It's nice to walk in and the servers know us. Shawna always remembers what we want to drink. Our favorite dishes include the Thai Chicken Salad, the Green Chile Burger, and of course the meatballs!! Great atmosphere, service, and food. Weekend brunch selections are delicious!! This is one of our go-to places when we are meeting business colleagues or just to go as a family.

Crockets in Maple Valley, WA is great! The crab omelette, crab benedict, and French toast were all exceptional. The bacon was incredible! Highly recommended for a delicious and satisfying breakfast experience. Five stars!
