Funny thing is, Maple Valley has become semi affluent over the past decade, and I never would have expected this to be the attitude, but I assure you, I stood out like a bruised thumb here. Service was really slow and for a while, I thought I was being ignored. The only person I saw working walked by me about 3-4 times before saying a word and asking me what I was drinking. I had already seen what I assumed was the menu on Yelp via photos, and short or a very small price increase from 2022, it was spot on. I ordered my food and it was prepared fairly quick, the cook slapped the bell, and the server grabbed it in about a minute, but my meal was barely warm., I had a burger dip and the burger and au jus were both room temp. The fries were golden, but also room temp and not crisp. It was disappointing, because you could tell the food was better than you would expect, but nothing it great at room temp. My drink went unfilled, and it was at least 15 minutes after I finished eating that I was handed the check. The server was so busy being social with regulars, I didn't get the attention I needed. For me, a meal is 30-40 from entry to exit, I was here almost 90 minutes to give you an idea of how slow the service was, It wasn't busy, the server was just not doing her job and the longer I sat, the less welcome I felt. Honestly, I've had warmer reception in Enumclaw and that is a city notorious for refusing diversity. Whoever owns this place needs to be more involved and if you invested some money into updating the décor and focusing on a better atmosphere, you could attract a crowd, as of now, you get 2 stars despite what I see as 4-star potential.

I remember sitting in the back of my parents car as a child driving by this place, and seeing the sign in the window that said "live piranha". They still have piranha. This is one of Washington's best dive bars. The service is always good. The drinks are always strong and served at a fair price. The food is outstanding and also reasonably priced. Come by and try your luck at some pool tabs or come in for the prime rib, special. Taco Tuesday's is really good! Play some golden tee golf and listen to some great tunes or just chat it up with the locals. This place oozes personality!

Been back several more times since my last review (we even got an apple crumble pie from here for…read moreThanksgiving), so time for an update. I don't know if it's just been getting accustomed to the new kitchen or if there have been recipe/technique tweaks, but the pies have improved--from crusts to fillings. Crusts are flaky and crumbly when appropriate. Fillings are well balanced and flavorful. Much better looking slices as well. So glad to see this noticeable growth and improvement. Hope to be able to give five stars at some point in the future.

The bartender doesn't just remember your drink order--they can recite your entire ancestral lineage while mixing it. And one server, I kid you not, once arm-wrestled a grizzly bear just to protect a customer's last french fry. But the real revolution happened when a veteran waitress (who definitely used to be in witness protection) casually mentioned her souped-up Toro TimeMaster to a regular. Like a match dropped in a pool of premium unleaded, the lawnmower customization scene EXPLODED. Now the back parking lot looks like Fast & Furious meets Home Depot. You've got flame-painted John Deeres doing wheelies between tables, and chrome-plated Husqvarnas sporting underglow LEDs that would make Xzibit weep tears of joy. Every Thursday night, the sound of modified 6.5 HP engines drowns out the jukebox as the "Mow Money, Mow Problems" crew shows off their latest grass-cutting masterpieces. Last week, someone installed a turbocharger on a push mower--sure, it only cuts three blades of grass before launching into low orbit, but that's the kind of innovation that makes America great. The Red Dog Saloon didn't just create a restaurant; they birthed a movement. Now you can't scroll through TikTok without seeing some influencer's "Lawn & Order: Special Mowing Unit" build going viral. And it all started because the staff here believes in encouraging their customers' most questionable hobbies with unbridled enthusiasm. Five stars. Would let them transform my riding mower into a grass-destroying dragon again.

We found this place by yelping burgers near by. The name on the receipt Ash was our waitress and she was extremely friendly. We told her we keep her busy with water and she was kind enough to bring us an ice water pitcher for the table and fill up our water bottles before we left. Food was very good. The place had plenty of dart boards and pool tables and sport memorabilia. Outside a sandy place to play volleyball. Fun music good vibes.

Salty, gooey and Smokey. It was absolutely lovely. The serving size was hefty. And I absolutely love the fries at this spot. They remind me of Dairy Queen fries. Wayyyyy better than other bars and fast food joints. The only thing that kinda surprised me was that a single basket of fries was $10.50! I thought that was pricey compared to the entrees.

They have a permanent on-site food truck, Burger Buds". I wasn't hungry so I didn't try that, but the burgers looked very good. Interior and the covered deck were very clean and nice. Looks like they have a cornhole tournament every month, and trivia on Tuesday's and they have frequent brewers nights. 5 TV screens to watch sports.
