Vern's Restaurant is a local favorite, considered by many to be Shelton’s home for quality casual dining. Vern's is only minutes from Olympia, WA, beautiful Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains.

Vern’s presents memorable, one-of-a-kind dining pleasure in a relaxed atmosphere. Our dishes are lovingly prepared, many from family recipes passed on from father to son.

Food prepared with passion. Indeed, passion is the standard at Vern’s, where we combine our love and art into your experience of unforgettable food.

Our food is, first and foremost, original and eclectic. For head chef and owner Treacy Kreger, that means a using a cream sauce in his mother’s recipe for chicken enchiladas. It means an original “Hunter” Meat Sauce between generous layers of lasagna noodles.

Many of Treacy’s creations have gone on to win regional awards: Wild Mushroom Soup, Pan-Seared Scallops and Clam Chowder, to name a few.

Ranging from Northwest to Asian, to French, Mediterranean, Mexican––Vern’s adapts the classic dishes from all over the world, taking them to unique and delicious directions.

When in season and whenever possible, we use locally grown fruits, vegetables, and spices in our food. Our shellfish comes from local tide flats, our yak is raised on a nearby farm.

We’ve been adding more light-cal and vegetarian selections to our menu. For vegans or customers with gluten intolerance, we have menu selections to suit your taste, as well as your diet.

Come for lunch or dinner. We’re set up to handle large parties on short notice. Vern’s is a dining experience you’re certain to remember.
