Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Bremerton (2024)

The 19th Hole Bar & Grill hosted a surprise birthday celebration in their private banquet room, which received high praise. The room was ideal for accommodating a family gathering of around 30 people. The buffet, featuring delectable prime rib and other dishes such as rolls, vegetables, and honey ham, was exceptional. The staff's attentiveness and the ease of setting up beforehand added to the memorable night.

The waitress was great at handling large orders and keeping everyone's orders in line. We had a great lunch meeting, we will definitely be back. It was great ambience and nice tall tables and comfortable chairs. Thank you!

21+ Only restaurant. Breakfast was a good experience. Self seating wasn't explicitly stated from what I saw, but I assumed correctly.The food was good. Great value. It is one of the most reasonably priced restaurants in the area for sure! There are plenty of televisions for entertainment and a nice view of the golf course that is adjacent.The bar was stocked, and the co*cktails/mimosas were creative and tasted great!

Held a surprise birthday for DH in their private banquet room and I cannot sing their praises enough. The room was perfect for our family and easily accommodated 30 of us. The prime rib buffet was amazing...ALL of the food was excellent from the rolls to the veggies to the honey ham and prime rib. The ease of setting up beforehand and the attentiveness to the staff made it such a memorable night for us. This is the perfect place to host a private event! Thank you Scott and company!

Scott was great to work with ahead of my husband’s birthday celebration. He asked for 5 pics to put on the TV too! Making the party personal. Communication was spot on and sent an email the day of saying they were ready for our group. The waitstaff (Erin) was excellent & always attentive to our needs. We expected 30-40 and had 50 or so. She handled it all with ease & efficiency!Great food and set up for so many of us. I would highly recommend 19th Hole for any event!

As a big guy I love that virtually everything on the menu fills you up, for a great price, and breakfasts are huge! While being so good it's hard to resist finishing it all and bringing some home for later. And the competence and kindness of the staff will keep bringing you back, whether you just want to get in and get your food and drink, or enjoy the good vibes they got you 😊

UPDATE - 6/20/23A few days ago, the family talked me into meeting them and some mutual friends at the 19th Hole again.Going allowed me to try something else; this time, a Taco Salad was on my radar.Of course, I had a choice of ground beef, chicken, or pulled pork; I ordered no sour cream and chicken as my protein.The salad was lovely visually, with fresh Romain, onions, tomatoes, cheese, olives, two salsas, and topped with tortilla strips.It was a nice size, everything appeared fresh, and the chicken, although mixed in reasonably well, seemed shredded and seasoned. I have encountered unseasoned meat on my taco salad, not with the 19th Hole, but with one or two other restaurants, and I am not a fan; at that point, you might as well call it a salad!That said, overall the salad was tasty, fresh, decent size, and seasoned meat -yay-Also, for an extra cost, you can have roasted jalapenos, guacamole, or avocado added.This visit was busy and extremely loud, last visit not so much; so come knowing there's always that possibility 😉----------------First, I had a hard time determining if I should rank this a three or four-star; three and a half probably would have sufficed had I had the option to do so due to how long it took us to get food. I opted for a four-star because, overall I felt they were better than a three-star.Yesterday, February 17, 2023, hubby and I joined some of my family and a friend at the 19th Hole for lunch.For anyone unfamiliar with the 19th Hole, it's a bar and grill and one of the oldest, dating back to 1939.Cruising the menu, I decided to have the Thai Lettuce Wraps, and hubby had three pieces of cod fish and chips.Although other family members had food, club sandwich, another thing of fish and chips, and clam chowder that was also ordered, I did not taste their food; therefore, I will only be writing this review on the Thai Lettuce Wraps and the Three piece fish and chips.First, the Thai Lettuce Wraps. There was plenty of food, and the flavors stood out. As I have had issues with other restaurants, filling the lettuce pieces with the Thai mixture took a lot of work, so I chopped the lettuce up and ate it like a salad! My only tiny quibble, a personal preference, is that it was a little bit on the salty side, again, my personal preference.Also, I had a small piece of my hubby's fish, which was a bit on the greasier side but had good flavor.My hubby obviously had the Cod fish and chips, coleslaw, and french fries. He agreed with me about the fish, which was a little greasier, but the taste was there, and the fries were typical french fries, nothing fancy, but not unpleasant in taste; the coleslaw was pretty decent tasting for restaurant coleslaw.The only grumble I had was it took some time to receive our food.Our server was friendly and periodically checked on us, but not to the point it would be considered a nuisance.I do wish, however, that she split our checks as I had requested, but overall I thought she was a good, friendly server.One fun thing that the 19th Hole offers their customers, aside from their main menu and breakfast menu (Saturday & Sunday), they also provide Steak night on Sundays and Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, Wings Wednesdays, Fish and Chips Fridays, and a Chico menu which consists of specialty pizzas! I have to mention their full bar, which offers premium liquors, beers, and wines.The 19th Hole appeared clean, with no sticky or dirty floors, menus, or tables.You can find the 19th Hole at 2171 Erlands Point Rd NW, off Chico Way, Bremerton, Washington. They are next to Kitsap Gold Clubhouse and Events, across from Shell Gas & mini mart and caddy corner to Hanks Grocery store.Once again, this is an incredible way to support a local small business while having some good food and fun times!*Always remember, be kind to ALL living things."

Lindsey and Erin were great server (had great recommendations and was very attentive), fantastic pizza. We had the pizza of the month which was a take on the French dip. The seasoning was on point, you can really taste the Swiss cheese, came with au jus, and crust cracker crisp. Got it without fungus.

My review is for the 19th Hole Bar & Grill's private dining room (The Gathering Hole's) service, space, food, and drinks as the venue for Central Kitsap High School's Class of 2013's 10 Year Reunion. From the moment I first started coordinating with Scott remotely, I already had a feeling I would be typing this rave review for them!When it came to organizing this reunion, my fellow organizers and I struggled to find a decent location that both fit within our budget and could offer the experience we wanted to provide our attendees. Fortunately, a friend suggested the 19th Hole, and upon looking into their private dining room package it was perfect for our needs! This space is of phenomenal value and quality for its affordable cost: personable, painstakingly-maintained, and the service cannot be beat!- THE COMMUNICATION -Within just a couple hours of putting in my request, Scott got back to me with a confirmation of availability and services, as well as a thorough email and PDF covering everything the Gathering Hole had to offer our event. This helped our planning committee make the fast decision to move forward and book the space. Scott continued to be communicative and responsive over email for further questions, and he also followed up over phone as we got closer to the event to finalize the menu and set-up logistics.- THE SPACE -The dining room is the upper floor of the same building as Chico Pizza & Chicken. As soon as I walked in to set up prior to the event, I was blown away by how thoughtfully the team had already decorated it for us! Leading up to the day, I was pleasantly surprised to hear from Scott that they already planned to set out linens in our school colors (orange, black, and white.) I simply expected just three differently-colored tablecloths, but instead they put in a meticulous, personal designer touch and made not just the layout of the linens, but also the entire space welcoming and BEAUTIFUL. They changed the color of the accent lights to be orange, and along with the slideshow images we sent them beforehand, they created a custom welcome image for us as well! They also put on a looping fireplace video on a couple screens, which really added to the ambiance of the room. It felt cozy and classy, which is precisely the vibe we hoped for. There is also a faux green-wall with fairy lights on one side of the room, which provided a great backdrop for photos. The instant reaction from many of our guests when they arrived was gasps of delight at the atmosphere of the room. During the event itself, we were also lucky to have a lovely, warm evening that allowed us to hang out and have the shaded backyard to ourselves. The Gathering Hole had also set out a complimentary cornhole setup to entertain our attendees.- THE FOOD & DRINKS -Megan was our bartender for our cash bar that evening. She has a warm, friendly personality that really added to our event's good vibes, and was generally just super fun to hang out with! She prepared a menu of co*cktails for us that really elevated the event. She also cleaned up plates as the evening went on. For our catering option, we opted for the Chico Pizza & Chicken buffet. Along with a couple supplemental appetizers, it was easily enough to feed 30-some attendees with leftovers to take home. There were gluten-free pizzas available for our buffet, and Scott also replaced Chico's wings with 19th Hole's gluten-free chicken wings to accommodate dietary needs. The food stayed fresh, warm, and delicious throughout the event.All in all, the Gathering Hole is one of the best affordable places you can host this caliber of casual, intimate, but elevated events in Kitsap County. I cannot recommend them enough simply for the service and warmth they provided from the moment we first made contact.Scott -- thank you SO much for having us! You've done a fantastic job with this space already, and I'm so excited to see what it becomes as you make your dreams for it a reality.

I come here on rare occasions, usually with family. They don't really enjoy coming here since it's usually "too loud" but I've never noticed that being an issue. Sure, the ambient noise on the weekends can be a little above average, but it's a bar. Bars aren't necessarily meant to be quiet spaces anyway...I had a basket of chicken strips. I was in a little bit of a rush to eat as I had a court hearing to attend shortly after my meal. It took about 10 minutes to get my food, which I was very thrilled with! I'm used to waiting upwards of 20+ minutes for food to be served at most other places.Food received was great! I had no complaints.Service was top-notch, and the server was very polite and professional in appearance.I definitely will aim to make this one of my main go-to places in Kitsap!

First time here (we enjoyed brunch) and we'll go back to try lunch/dinner. I ordered the French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Coffee is complementary with breakfast and it was good. Food was tasty and the server was attentive without being intrusive. I like that each television was showing a different game (there were many screens to choose from) and they were labeled for the games on that screen. Definitely a nice touch!

Can not say enough about The 19 hole. We hosted a private party downstairs (around 75-100 people) and had the best service and food. Erin and Maddie were diligent, kept the drinks flowing, were personable and always present. The food was on time, hot and delicious! Highly recommend hosting your next party here!

Scott and his team are amazing! I celebrated my 64th birthday here last year and last month my daughter booked The Gathering Hole for her rehearsal dinner and family reunion the day after the wedding. It was so convenient and Sean our server is really great. The food is served on time and they have a variety to choose from! Give them a call and celebrate with them.
