Awesome restaurant, great cooks and a quick moving staff handling a lot at once (I wouldn't want to do it). Tip those dames, hard working gals! read more

The first time I went here was kind of disappointed because it was open and we were waiting outside until 30 minutes later someone tells me that they're not gonna open because they had an issue which a couple years later me and my husband decided to go and the food is phenomenal. I love like the diner vibe setting staff is friendly. I haven't been sent, but I love a good diner. read more

Burs is centrally located in Lakewood. The atmosphere is like a typical diner. The food is also like a typical diner. We ordered a ham & cheese omelet with mushrooms, side of toast, and a side of sausage. The food was plentiful. We did observe a cinnamon roll being delivered to another table and it was HUGE! Service was great and the value was good. There was no wait time for a table. Overall a good experience for breakfast. read more

My wife and I came here for late breakfast with brother and sisters. Although we grew up in Lakewood we had never been here. The interior is nice with lots of wall art and decorations. We sat in back room and it was as if the staff forgot about us. After about 15 minutes I had to go find someone to take our orders and bring us coffee. After another 10 to 15 minutes the waitress finally came to take our food orders.My wife ordered the large Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs, with glass of OJ and hot tea. I ordered the Monster Breakfast with English Muffin. While waiting for our food the waitress never came back to refill our coffees and I had to wave her down for more. When our breakfasts came the portions were big, and food was tasty. My issue was the lack of service from staff. I had to flag the waitress down every fifteen minutes or so for more coffee. I managed to get 3 refills in the hour and a half we were there, which is unacceptable, especially since i told her on the 2nd refill to keep the coffee coming. Food was good but the service was subpar. I doubt we will return. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! I was looking forward to their St. Patrick Day menu and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I ordered the Irish Pub Plate for $23... you be the judge if it was worth the price (see picture). NO "Shepard's Pie", NO "warn Irish soda bread". Instead I got breakfast potatoes and cold carrots!!! Again, you be the judge and take a look at the picture. read more

this is the 2nd time i ordered to go food from them and it was wrong. They claim it's not them it's me. I ordered a skillet with cheddar and the reciept shows cheddar and it also shows no cheese. I chose the specific cheese. Then the site adds no cheese when the reciept clearly states the cheese type. The mgr josh is a dumb fuck. He spent the conversation trying to blame that on me when the same thing happened before. I ordered a meal with no spinach and get home with spinach on it. Call and tell him and he says there's no spinach with that meal. It clearly states it on the menu. He again tries to claim it's not their fault. He needs to fix their online ordering portal. Not to mention the food is dry and wilted looking when it's to go. read more

Burs Restaurant - This is a $16 skillet? - Diners Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Old timers get better service than the new comer. Ordering.a sausage cheese omelet proved to be laughable. The waitress never once asked if we needed coffee refill, water or smiled once. So uncomfortable. Food was so salty. read more

Burs Restaurant - Pit Ham breakfast - Diners Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Really nice staff here with nostalgic decor and furniture. I enjoyed their 'broasted chicken' which is hand fried chicken with delicious potato wedges 'jojos'. Chicken was juicy and meaty with delicious seasoning. My son ordered a meat specialty omelette with a hot cocoa (comes heavy on whipped cream and sprinkles). My husband ordered a meat heavy breakfast item as well. We thought their portions were generous paired with delicious sauces and freezer jams. Sunday brunch anywhere is going to be busy, so we lucked out in having a table for 7 at the morning time we did. I would suggest calling ahead to find out times available for big parties, if possible. We will be back again! Still looking for a place that serves chicken and dumplings read more

Excellent little gem. I love places like this that have been around forever and don't need to go out of their way to impress you. This place is huge as well, there is an entire back dining area and bar. Service was great; greeted & seated right away. Got my lunch order in and food came out quick. I miss the down home diner food from back East; this place has it. Read through some of the previous reviews, and took a chance on this place, and so glad I did. People who dine out need to level set their expectations... otherwise they will constantly be disappointed. People in the restaurant business are some of the hardest working people I know, and they're human, just like us. Give everyone a little grace now and then. The food was good, the service and vibes were great. The portions were generous, and prices were reasonable. The place was clean, and there's plenty of parking. Can't ask for anything more. I have no complaints and will definitely be back. read more

Very disappointed in $18.00 french dip. One piece of fatty roast beef on bun. Should of sent it back, but was ravenous hungry. Complained to waitress. The manager came by and was a bit smug. He offered me 20% off. Which was only $3. Next time I would prefer more meat. But unfortunately there won't be a next time. Too many other restaurants to go to. Also, the waitress never came around to refill our waters. :( read more

I had a very good country fried steak. It's a very nice diner. Our server was Amy F and she was great. The booths are not fat friendly. Pass on the coffee though. read more

Burs Restaurant - CFS is very good. - Diners Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Nice little restaurant, the service was amazing the waitress made sure we were good and whenever she passed by us making her rounds checked on us. The food came out fast and was delicious and flavorful. The setting is calming and relaxing especially with the sun beaming through the windows. Definitely will be coming back soon. read more

Came here for a brunch. Parking lot full...this place seems to be pretty packed during breakfast/brunch times. Service was great. Food is mediocre. The home fries were hard. I do like coming here because it just seems like an old school place with with a relaxed ambiance, some homemade items, but food can be hit or miss. read more

Burs Restaurant - California Scramble (potatoes are hard ) - Diners Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

First visit today with a friend. We found a booth and the waitress was quick to assist us with drink & food order. We were both surprised at how soon it was brought to our table. We both ordered the House Club (she-fries, me-coleslaw) , and it was very good. It was a pretty full house when we got there and it was quite easy to hold a conversation. Even with the Vet (Steve) who sat across from us. Special thanks to the staff for allowing us to talk and take up our booth for 3.5 hours (!). There are future visits planned to try other options (mainly desserts). read more

I have come to Burs for years - however life has happened and have not been in a while - stopped in with a friend. The service was amazing restaurant was clean - but the food was beyond sub par- Burs is know for good food - that was not the case this week. Why would you serve a microwaved Ruben sandwich - won't be back if this is what the new standard is. read more

When we walked in, there was only three tables that were occupied. There were two servers and one busser. We asked for another set of silverware because there were three of us that we never got. When our food was delivered, the wrong items were given. An example of this was corn, beef, hash, and eggs with no eggs. Another person ordered the burger dip with a side salad, instead they got french fries. The third individual ordered a hamburger, but their meal was delivered 10 minutes after we got our meals. By the time I finally got my eggs, my meal was eaten. I asked for the eggs over medium, and they were delivered over hard. I would find it very difficult to recommend this place. read more

The food & service was great! The server checked in on our table multiple times & asked if I wanted whipped cream when he overheard me looking for help. I finished everything on my plate. I tried the Special Huckleberry French Toast (along with a side of hash browns) and it was all very good. If you like crispy hash browns, ask for them well done. read more

Burs Restaurant - Meat & Cheese Omlette with Hashbrowns and French Toast - Diners Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

We went there for the first time and both me & my husband ordered the bacon cheeseburger. It came with French fries which were really good and hot. My husband had coffee and he didn't need to put cream in it. I had a Coke. We brought home a piece of chocolate pie which looks delicious ( haven't ate it yet. We will definitely be back but are going to go for breakfast. read more

We went to Bur's for breakfast this past Saturday. It was the first timne we'd been to Bur's in more than a year. While our food was fine, the service and noise level were not. We were there at 7:30am. Country music was playing in the dining room and Mexican music was playing in the kitchen. From where we were sitting, we heard both simultaneously. The two servers spent the entire time we ate our breakfast standing at the kitchen window, talking about a customer they had both encountered in the preceding days, using language not necessarily appropriate in a family-friendly restaurant at 7:30am. We heard the whole conversation, as did the customers sitting at the counter. No one asked whether we wanted more coffee or water or anything else for our breakfast. Another diner, an older man, finally raised his hand and voice requesting a refill on his coffee to break up the servers' conversation. read more

Just arrived for late breakfast. I can hear the staff disgruntled as we walked in. No greeting. We asked where we could sit. No reply. We asked again and a waitress in a black top with shaved head said "You can take a seat anywhere but we're severely understaffed AND we're not going to get to you anytime soon." Okay. Got it. Loud and clear. We left and took our business elsewhere. Kind of sad. We considered Burs Restaurant one of our staple breakfast places... read more

Please hire some more staff. We spend more time waiting to spend money than we do enjoying your drinks, food and pull tabs.... The staff is slow and over worked. read more

This is the old school breakfast that I love! The eggs Benedict was a perfect diner version, lots of sauce/not mayonnaisey! The hash browns were crispy, but not too greasy. The service was fast and friendly. The sausage gravy tasted exactly how it should! No surprises or disappointments. read more

Only if you like good heavy comfort food! Not my particular dietary taste, but was tasty and came in large portions! I'd recommend it to someone who liked comfort food and lots of it!! read more

I liked this place for breakfast. It definitely was an old school diner. I had a California scramble. It was a decent portion. It had avocados and spinach and bacon. It was basically bacon bits in the scramble, I would have preferred actual pieces of bacon. Service was efficient and friendly. Overall, a decent breakfast spot. read more

Burs Restaurant - California Scramble - Diners Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Sorry late post. First I was reading some of the comments and was actually surprised from many of the negative reviews. Especially one saying that they were racists towards Asians. I'm Asian, my wife is Asian and well hat makes my kids Asian. My family has been coming to this establishment for over 10 years and we have NEVER experienced any kind of racism nor seen it done to others, but discrediting the one person who posted that. So anyways, my wife and I woke up last Saturday morning which was January 27th, and I looked at her and said Burs?! and she excitedly jumped out the bed and got ready without a word. We are foodies and after all these years we decided to start review the restaurants we visit! It was packed that morning but were able to find one of the last open booths that sat right in front of the cash register. We were greeted right away and given our menus and was told who our waitress was and was given water and asked if we wanted coffee in which we did, I'm form NY so of course I did! The coffee is perfect for my liking a bit strong to many but perfect for me, I've had really strong coffee in the Army, lol! Not to long after our waitress showed up and took our order. Both my wife and I ordered the Lobster omelet, which is one of our favorites! I went with the side of home fries and she went with the side of hash browns. We also asked for a side of SOS sauce which is really tasty there! The meal also came with 2 humungous pancakes! While waiting my wife and I was commenting on the atmosphere that morning it was busy and lively, people were smiling and enjoying each others company. Which put us in a really good mood! Our food came out in a good time and it looked delicious! The lobster meat omelet came with a type of yellow thick hollandaise sauce. my home fries were just how I like them fried and a little crispy with a nice dark golden brown look. The pancakes were large and fluffy, I'm not really a pancake eater, but more of a waffle guy because I like the crispiness of the waffle, but Burs pancakes I will eat! We were asked and given a total of 2 refills after the initial cup off coffee is about right with the amount of time we were there. Everything was cooked they way I liked it and they have always did. Between my wife and I, we need 1 to go box. I didn't finish my omelet and my wife a little of everything. They brought us the bill when they brought us our box and took the payment from us from the booth, normally I would just walk up to the cash register and pay. Our visits there has always been good, which Is why I am surprised by a lot of the negative reviews! read more

Haven't been there in years, I want to thank the crew for excellent meal and service!

First time yesterday to go with my GF and the food/service was top tier too Most def go there for the food of course lol

was there on March 2. Sat in bar with my daughter. I had two cups of coffee with my meal and my daughter had a beer with her meal. I was charged $7.98 for two cups of lousy drip coffee. Maybe they think they can compete with Starbucks, NOT. Then, they now are charging a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card to pay your bill. way to go, good way to lose your customers. I won't bd back and I've shared this info with a group of women that had been going there occasionally for lunch, usually 10 to 15 of us. You just lost that business as well. This place won't be around much longer. read more

Was there with a group of 24 people and totally blown away by the excellent service! The food was delish and quick and hot, the place was comfortable and clean! Everyone was served quickly and efficiently! I look forward to going back! read more

I'm adding a second review in hopes of change. Burs is an iconic restaurant in Lakewood. I have been coming here for over 10 years. I know covid took it's toll on many establishments, some of which foreclosed. The service at Burs is outstanding. Sone of the friendliest staff I have ever met. The quality of the prepared food is horrible. I am sure they struggle with keeping qualified cooks - who they hired now are awful. Sadly, I won't return. I hope the owner realizes the value of qualified cooks and does whatever to employ them. read more

Hoo- ray!! Burs is back open!!!!!!!!!!! Went by today and saw a sign saying so plus a full parking lot. I hope to stop by tomorrow! read more

Been coming here all the time Now , cant help not to put a Great Review !! Best in town come in Down ...

so much drama. Used to be a happy fun place to be. Now you can't even sit in the bar without being trashed or accused of something you don't even know abou. If once ok but over and over again who needs it. It's simply about money now, the personality there is gone. half the servers there are wonderful the other half are a pain to be around. After 15 years I'm out. I want a good experience when I go out. Not here. read more

Met my brother for dinner at Burs last night. I had sliders & fries. He has Salisbury steak. We were both satisfied with the food. What was especially good last night was the service. Katie is new there and really gave us great service without seeming to 'hover'. read more

This place does a very good breakfast and the service e is usually spot on. Tonight we had the ground sirloin w/taters and Sysco/Food services of America canned mixed veg. And a chicken fried steak. The sirloin is actually very good. Not so much for the CFS. I will be going back to the ground sirloin! read more

Was a regular for years, this place has gone down hill. Food quality has gotten pretty bad and the service sucks if you even get any. You got a 50/50 chance of being served by someone that actually wants to be there. You'll feel it too. Won't be surprised if they go under in a year or two. read more

Servers were good. They don't know how to treat employees. Owner is prejudiced against Orientals. Food is mainly from Costco. Burgers are Costco burgers pre made and gravy added. Cheap stuff. Even waffles come out burnt. Don't eat there. Service is excellent but owners are crappy. read more

We have come here multiple times and enjoyed it. This time, though, our experience was bad enough that we will not be back. We host international students in our home and take them to restaurants so that they can interact with others and practice their English. We grabbed a table in the bar and pulled out our IDs. One student had a license and the other had his passport. The server "checked with a manager" to see if she could accept their IDs. When she came back, she said that she could not accept a non-US identification and she "CERTAINLY cannot accept a passport..." A passport requires more documentation to get than a license (no matter what country a person is from). I have worked in the restaurant industry and gone through liquor control licensing. I *know* that there is a guidebook that every bar is required to have on hand that references IDs from the US and countries around the world. We had to leave either because the employees at Burs have not gone through proper training or because they did not want to serve foreigners. Either way, our students felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. We will NOT be back. read more
