Made it back to Tumwater last Spring to try Eagans. Forgot to review, but was memorable enough to warrant another trip after I dropped the wife @ the Capitol. Big Tom Combo w/Onion Rings & tartar sauce. Pineapple Cream Soda in fountain machine was a great choice. Cool old-time interior; pinball machines, soda decor, and an old dial pay phone (151) 555-1492! Sorry, no pics. I was hungry.

Chili cheese fries with added onions.

I upped a star this time because, this time our burgers were exactly right and hot, last time neither of our burgers were right. This time I got chili cheese fries and they were delicious and super hot! The only thing and I seriously love this place or else I wouldn't come back but consistently forgets some item from our order and this time they forgot our tots.

Big Tom's "Goop", a tasty concoction of mayo, mustard, and relish
Harlan Z.

As a Tumwater native growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, Eagan's Big Tom was the place where we went for burgers and fries when our parents talked us into doing some major house project - cleaning the carpets, painting the living room, or reseeding the lawn. Even at the time, my parents knew it wasn't the healthiest of meals to enjoy, but it was a local establishment, the food was always fresh and undeniably tasty, and a take-out meal from there was always a way to get us to lug furniture or paint a ceiling without complaint. Earlier today, in Tumwater for a dental appointment, I decided to indulge myself with a visit to their Tumwater location - my first in well over a decade. I was pleased to find that the burgers are just as fresh and tasty as ever - Thursday's special was the "Little Tom" with tots and a drink for $13, "little" meaning a half-pound of beef with a half-pound of tots, served with their famous gotta have it "Goop" sauce. It was everything I hoped it would be and everything I remembered that it was, which means that I'm very glad I don't live very close to this restaurant as, if I did, I would quickly weigh as much as your average living room sofa. If you're looking for a classic American hamburger with all the fat and grease and char that makes such things so delicious, then you cannot do better than a visit to Big Tom's. And be sure to order it with a side of Goop while you're at it, too. It ain't gourmet but, lord, it's damned tasty!

Clam strip basket. 8 were taken out but that is all that remained.

It has been a few years since I have been here. Came by for a clam strip basket, fish and chips, and 2 milkshakes. Almost $45. My daughter took 8 of the clamstrips and left me with what is in the photo. That was 7 strips of small substance and a bunch of fried dough bits. Totally not worth it for 15 tiny clam strips. I ordered 2 goops and tarter sauce and only got 1. The server was friendly and the shakes were good, but will probably go back to Herfys for these items since Eagans barely gave food for the price they charged. The fish was good. But they are lacking clams in the clam strip basket.

A bit pricey but they have well made burgers here. They also have an ac dining area and some old school arcade games. Their staff are really happy and nice. We picked up food to head to the creek but stopped in to use the restroom. We would definitely come back to dine in if we are craving a burger.

Who the hell hired these kids? Seriously?!? If you are the owner, and want this business to thrive... get rid of your lazy employees, who can barely annunciate proper English... and ENFORCE A DRESS CODE! I understand that it's a style... but the LAST thing I want to see before I eat, is some kids undergarments hanging freely out of their pants, that are HALFWAY off his ass! I have kids for Pete's sake! My children don't need to see that shit either!

I can only speak for service. They are always helpful. If you get their attention, they help you immediately. If there is a line in the drive-thru, they will get your order ready whole you wait.

If you want a good old fashioned griddle-cooked burger in Tumwater, this is the place. Great onion rigs and a long list of shake flavors.

We had such an incredible meal at Uptown Grill! Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and…read morefull of flavor, and the service was exceptional. The beet salad with chicken was amazing. It had a beautiful mix of greens, beets, citrus, and nuts, with plenty of chicken. I loved the combination of flavors and textures... every bite had something delicious in it. This was definitely a salad worth getting excited about! We also had a rice bowl loaded with fresh vegetables, feta, and a creamy sauce. The cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions added so much freshness, and everything came together beautifully. Both dishes looked fantastic when they arrived and tasted every bit as good as they looked. We enjoyed beer and wine with our meal, which made for such a nice afternoon together. The exceptional service added to an already wonderful experience, and we left so happy with our visit. If you're looking for delicious food and great service, Uptown Grill is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

We dined here the other day for brunch. No wait time, and we got greeted immediately. My aunty…read moreordered a coffee, but we noticed there was a lipstick stain on it. The server apologized and quickly got us a new coffee! Accidents happen so we were just happy with the quick response to the issue. We ordered the chicken and waffles, Dungeness crab Benedict, and their classic sausage and eggs plate. Chicken and waffles were super good! Crispy chicken, and the waffle was nicely cooked. It also came with a piece of bacon which brought a good saltiness to the syrup. The Dungeness crab Benedict was also amazing! Instead of a crab cake patty, it was just Dungeness crab on top! Definitely prefer it this way because other restaurants tend to skimp on the crab when they do a patty version. The hollandaise sauce on top was nice and creamy and the eggs cooked perfectly. At the end of our meal, we did get the pie of the day. It's a rotating pie everyday. That day, the pie was a blackberry and peach pie. When the pie came out, it was well plated and the crust was flaky and hot. However, the blackberries were still a little frozen on the inside, so I don't think they allowed the pies to thaw out thoroughly before baking. In general, I would give this place a 4 out 5 stars just because service was good and the rest of the food was delicious. The restaurant itself is huge with lots of space for customers. They have a somewhat open kitchen concept, if you walk towards the bathroom you can see the cooks working hard in there. Cool environment and if you're looking for a place to have brunch and drinks I would recommend visiting.

However, both times we were here the food was great too and service was top notch, meaning kind, present, informative and patient with us "old folks". Grinders, wings, burgers or pizzas you will not go wrong. Final bonus is its proximity to I-5. We will be back.

Stopped in Tumwater on our way to Seattle and decided to get a to-go order at The Brick. Tried to…read moreplace an order online, but you can't after 8pm and it was 8:03pm. I ended up calling (twice - nobody answered the first time) and got an order over the phone. I headed down there and the first thing I noticed is that the building needs work. There is a tin roof siding kind of thing along the entire front of the restaurant. It is old. Paint coming off. Not a good sign. Went into the bar as I didn't realize there was a separate bar and restaurant. I didn't see any signs showing that. I was directed by a bartender to go to the other side to get my order. A very nice blonde girl was there and went to bagging my order getting my chowder and everything else which took 5 to 6 minutes. It was over $64 with the tip. Got back to my hotel room to try my french dip. Problem is, they forgot the dip - no au jus. It is just warm roast beef in a bun. No flavor. Nothing to it. I couldn't even finish a half of it. The tater tots were bad. Half were soggy. No seasoning. No flavor. Not worth eating. The pickle was good, but wrapped in a napkin kind of thing that made my hands messy trying to unwrap it to eat it. Next up was the clam chowder. It was yellow, so I assumed it was a corn chowder. It is neither. It smells like a ham chowder and tastes like a vegetable/potato soup. It is very watery and had big pieces of celery and other veggies. I have no idea what this is supposed to be, but it is not a clam chowder. Finally, I got chipotle wings. They appear to have been a dry rub. I had hoped they either would come with a chipotle sauce to dip them in or they would be sauced wings. They were neither. Being a dry rub, they had a hint of chipotle flavor, but basically tasted like bare wings. My wife got a pasta bread thing of some kind. She had 4 bites and that was it. $64 for about 10 total bites of food. I hate to waste that money and throw away so much food, but I'd be doing homeless people a disservice by giving it away. To recap, building is old looking. Forgot an important part of one of the dishes. Soggy, unseasoned tots. Watery, "clam" chowder that that is really a potato/veggie soup, wings with almost no flavor - may as well have just asked for bare, unseasoned wings. Wasted $64.
