BLT (4): good thick cut bacon on toasted bread. Decent as well. You can add the works (all fixins) on anything. I'm glad I tried these other items but I'll probably stick with their burgermasters in the future. One detail I'll note during our last visit is their dine-in line management needs work. There were 2 lines forming without any coordination. One inside and one out the door. They need to have more clearly marked lines or some sort of management in place or you may potentially wait unnecessarily long. I still love the dining options though. Inside, in your car, or takeout/drive-thru. They even have warmed lockers to keep your food warm in secured lockers until you pick up. Nice new facilities! Overall, this has become one our favorite burger joints in the area. we'll definitely be back.

We stopped in her last month and tried Burgermaster for the first time…read more The parking was not ideal, the spots they did have were incredibly tight and there were too many people and not enough spaces so people were double parking along the curb. It almost deterred us from stopping here altogether. At one point, I said it wasn't worth it and we should just go somewhere else, but my husband eventually found a spot. I liked that they have a lot of outdoor seating. We bring our little dog everywhere with us so that it important. It was also later in the afternoon and the huge Burgermaster logo on the building did a great job of providing shade. There were a lot of bumps in the service portion of our visit. The staff we interacted with seemed young and inexperienced but I am guessing they are still working out the kinks. A gentleman sitting at the table next to us outside got very angry that they did not take his name down correctly and kept calling for someone else, so his meal was just sitting there getting cold until he went to check. I had my husband wait inside after that and it was a bit chaotic. They weren't incredibly busy or anything but they just all seemed to be learning at the same time. The staff did try joking with us to lighten the mood but it was a bit awkward. We ordered a double baconmaster with onion rings, a mushroom burger with fries and a Tom and Jerry shake. It was $45 before tip for 2 people which is kinda crazy for fast food but we had high hopes. The burgers were standard and totally average as were the onion rings. I would give them all 3/5 but I thought the fries were above average. They were cooked and seasoned well. The shake was delicious. 5/5 all day, but it was so small. We asked for large but were told there was only one size available. They are missing out by not offering larger sizes and it makes zero sense. If I had known they what I know now, I would have ordered two shakes and some fries. I might come back when they are more established, even though my experience was left plenty to be desires because I think there is definitely potential here.

The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!

The pizza comes with a drizzle of your choice of sauces. I chose pesto. It is a huge restaraunt with loads of good vibes from the artwork to the seating arrangements. Tall tables, booths, and a small outside area. The price is affordable as well. It may become my new after hair care tradition! SYOY!

I recently picked up from this Panda Express, and my experience was outstanding. Mina, the server, provided exceptional customer service. She was friendly, attentive, and ensured my order was perfect. Picked up an Orange Chicken bowl with Chow Mein. The food lived up to Panda Express's reputation - delicious and satisfying. The Orange Chicken had a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, and the chicken was cooked just right. Chow mein was equally good - soft and flavorful. The convenience of this Panda Express location is a significant plus. Parking was a breeze, making it easy to stop by for a quick meal. Despite a long line of customers waiting to order, the service was impressively quick. Mina and the team handled the rush efficiently, ensuring everyone was served promptly without compromising on the quality of service. I was super happy with my visit to this Panda Express. The seamless checkout process added to the pleasant experience, leaving me with no complaints. If you're looking for a quick, tasty meal with great service and convenient parking, I highly recommend stopping by this Panda Express location. The combination of great food, efficient service, and convenience makes it a top choice for a satisfying meal. read more

Bai Tong Thai Restaurant

Bai Tong's restaurants are very professionally run establishments, with beautiful decor and…read moreambiance and exceptionally gracious employees. I recently enjoyed a happy hour at the Redmond location, with an excellent dish of Pad Thai with a very dense sauce that most other Thai restaurants in the area would do well to emulate. This was followed by a full dinner at the Issaquah Highlands location. The selection and quality of food were on par with the best local Thai restaurants, and the hardbound menus with photos of all the offerings are a particularly nice touch. Another very nice and professional touch was that the waitress who took our order repeated the order so that we could confirm it was exactly right. If you like spicy food, don't hesitate to be aggressive with the spice numbers, or to ask for a side of hot sauce. I could easily have lived with more than the three out of five stars that I ordered, but now I know for next time. I am very enthusiastic about this enterprise and wish I could express my unqualified approval. Unfortunately, there was one thing that prevented me from giving five stars, and that is that most of the food was flat out cold. I do not know what the solution is, but it is an issue that we have not encountered at other Thai restaurants, so we know it can be managed. Perhaps it would be with less aggressive air conditioning, serving dishware that better retains the heat, or something else. It was exacerbated by the way everything we ordered was brought out pretty much all at once. This should not have happened. The entrees should not have been brought out until we were finished with the appetizers. They would have tasted so much better if they had been hot enough. I addressed this issue with one of the wait staff and was given some kind of explanation having to do with heat lamps in connection with the food needing to be all ready at once. This is not acceptable. I sincerely hope that the restaurant will address this issue. We took most of our food home for later consumption, and of course it won't be a problem when we can heat it at home ourselves, but it had me less enthusiastic than I wanted to be about returning for on site dining. In sum, very, very good, but it could have been excellent. Please watch the timing of serving sequences and ensure that the dishes are hot before they are brought to the table. I hope to be able to revise my review to give five stars next time!
