YUMMM
Ash A.

Ambiance: Happening place on Cole street, lot of seating giving bar vibes Service: Very friendly staff and food came out decently quick Food: we tried the Calamari, onion rings, Thai salad, and burgers. Dessert was sizzling brownie with ice cream, YUMMM! The onion rings stood out, very tasty and crispy not too oily. Food was overall very nice.

Coconut curry muscles...EVERY TIME!!!!! Add a Mac & Jacks to make it complete. In and out in 45 minutes as it was before the dinner rush. Highly recommend the salmon salad too...it's my second favorite.

Stopped in over the weekend after hiking in Rainier. We wanted a place where we could sit down and order food/beer. It was pretty busy, but we had no trouble grabbing two seats at the bar. The interior is fairly standard bar decor and they had several TVs on. Our bartender was quick to get us drinks and menus and even offered a sample of one of the beers I was interested in. This was especially appreciated because she was definitely very busy. We both ordered burgers and while they weren't medium as requested (more medium-well/well done) the flavor was good. I'm much less worried about the burger being a bit over when the flavor and juiciness are still there. Bonus points for offering tater tots as a side option. Really happy with our experience and wouldn't hesitate to come again when we're in the area.

Once my friends and I arrived, it was a "seat yourself" type of place so we picked the first open table. It took about 5-8 minutes before being given menus. The server was pretty attentive and gave us enough time to look over the menu. The chicken caesar wrap is pretty underwhelming and the onion rings had barely any flavor. The clam chowder and chili was great though, made me regret not buying a big bowl of soup. Once the server came back around to ask if we need boxes, we only requested one but she persisted on giving us two, which I thought was a bit odd. Overall, the food that night was mediocre. Ambiance was nice, warm, and cozy.

Tonight I visited Rainier bar and Grill with my wife, the service was amazing Conner did a great job getting our drinks ordered and served quickly. Although it took about 30 minutes after ordering for us to get our food. The wait was well worth it, everything tasted great and was hot and fresh. One thing that was less than desirable was having to pay extra to get onion rings as a side(which is no issue) and only receiving two rings, which is a bummer because they were delicious. My burger was cooked exactly how I asked (some pink) and the fries were good. The drinks were definitely served with a heavy poor and very fast for any refills. The atmosphere is great, it's an old school PNW rustic bar that is inviting for the whole family. The show stopper was hands down the caramel brownie on the skillet, it was served with ice cream and piping hot caramel and was well worth the visit we absolutely recommend.

Best fish and chips in town. They knocked it out of the park on the onion rings. Nice old school bar with great service.

Holy smokes! If you are looking for a delicious burger, you have to try this place. They do smash…read moreburgers and they are delicious! You can have it in a bun or bowl. It's already become a favorite place and this was our first visit.

Buger Buds is a food truck that's typically parked right next to a brewery, offering plenty of…read moreseating for all. We visited for a weekday lunch and our order took about 5 minutes total. Proper Patty ($11) - This burger comes with two smash patties, both of which are heavily salted and somewhat crisped up - the pictures from other people make it seem like they cook long enough to get lacy caramelized edges, but it's not quite to that point. Instead, the burgers, while not moist and fatty, aren't dried out either, and give a great beefy flavor. The burger sauce adds some tangy sweetness, and some pickles on top adds even more sweetness, but a very fresh crunch. It's otherwise pretty standard with the lettuce and tomato. A solid smashburger. (4/5) Fries ($5) - These are fried enough to give a crust on the potatoes, but not enough for the fries to be come crisp. Still, they aren't floppy, so while not entirely crisp, these are still good for eating especially since the insides are nice and fluffy. They are salted a lot, which combined with the salty dip (we went with the Bud's Sauce), equals a parched mouth after eating. I think they actually use a lime salt or something as I can detect a bit of citrus flavor. The Bud's Sauce is a nice mayochup mixture with I think a bit of smokiness from paprika and some chopped onion. It's sweet, tangy, and salty. (4/5) Overall Burger Buds serves some nice classic smashburgers! It's great for a visit while in town for a quick and easy meal.

We had a mixed experience during our visit but in the end it all worked out. Plenty of parking in…read moretheir private dirt and gravel lot. During our visit it was 'seat yourself' and a waitress came right over with menus and took our drink order. As it was early, we ordered coffee and water. Coffee is good and hot. Cream on table with salt, pepper, hot sauce and ketchup. Our beverages were brought over by another staff member, Paula, who told us our waitress would be right with us. Except she wasn't. After ten minutes I was worried. After 20 minutes I was getting concerned. Our waitress showed up shortly there after and we placed our order. Paula came around a few times refilling coffees, clearing tables and bringing checks. I wandered into their bakery area while waiting for our food, took photos, read the info there and then out to the historic bar area to check it out. You can order cakes and cheese cakes from their bakery as well as take a slice to-go, or enjoy a slice in house. Our waitress saw me there on her way into the kitchen and asked if I needed something. "No, just looking". OK then. We think our waitress was working both the kitchen and the dining room which is why she was often out of sight. So two staff in FOH with one of them helping BOH. That's a lot. She brought our food when ready plus a selectiin of jams for our english muffin. We asked for silverware which she promotly brought. The marionberry jam, a hybrid blackberry from Oregon, is excellent. The food is quite good. Corned beef hash is without a doubt made fresh. Big pieces of shredded beef with potatoes and lots of fresh spices. This hash has a zing to it. We both ordered the small portion of their corned beef so it came with one egg (instead of two) and we chose english muffin (instead of toast) and got half each (vs. a whole each). With a side of their potatoes, which were also good and plentiful, we had enough left overs for breakfast the next day. Which we also enjoyed. All told, we were in and out in one hour. Food was very good. We always had coffee. We thought our waitress was unfriendly, but she's just super busy. So five stars for holding down the dining rooms with two staff members and serving tasty, well prepared food. Paula processed our card payment. Forgot to check out the restrooms. I think they are in the last dining area (where a big business meeting of some company was going on at the time) behind the bar room.

They also easily accommodated a table change due the air conditioner blowing directly on me. I ordered an omelette with sausage, spinach and cheese. Comes with toast and hash browns. Everything was excellent. Also picked up a few chocolate chip cookies on my way out that were equally as good.

The Historic Mint Restaurant & Alehouse - The peanut sauce for the vermicelli bowl

Solid 3.5 overall…read more We like this place but I probably ordered the wrong thing on the menu - the vermicelli bowl with peanut sauce and the nuac Cham sauce. While the salmon BLT and grilled turkey sandwiches were fine, the bowl was not. The nuac Cham sauce had no fish sauce or taste and the peanut sauce did not taste like peanut sauce and was super thick. It was a bit weird with pickles at the bottom. Normally, the dish has jalapeño and the cucumbers are cut in strips v. Slices. The noodles seemed overcooked. The Portions are decent. We give the sandwiches 4 stars but the bowl is a 3 for taste. Everything else is good- service, average noise. Street parking but fairly easy to find a spot close by.

This is my first time at this restaurant and it was a delight. Our server was fantastic. She had…read moregreat recommendations and she did not steer us wrong. The poutine is what we started with, the fries were piping hot, the gravy was rich and delicious, and did I mention there was bacon jam in there? Since we had the poutine as an appetizer, we opted to get salads instead of the side fries for our burgers and sandwiches. I have to admit this is one of the most impressive side salads I've ever had. The greens were so fresh! On special they had their homemade clam chowder which checked all the boxes, it had a great balance of meat to potato to herb. I will be dreaming about this for the rest of my life. If you see it on special you need to get it. My group ordered the mushroom burger, the the bacon jamburger, and the French dip which we split three ways. And when I tell you we fought over keeping our own. I am not lying. The burgers were juicy, the toppings were generous and well balanced. The French dip had roast beef that just melted in your mouth. For the first time. I don't think I needed the au jus. One of my party ordered the truffle gnocchi with wild mushrooms. I don't know how, but it was somehow light, not too rich, and the gnocchi soft pillows had the perfect fluffy texture. We did have to take most of our food home because the portions were generous. And somehow the gnocchi reheated. Well. I'm going to call that a miracle. All in all, if you're anywhere near Enumclaw you need to go here. We made the trip from Puyallup because my dad could not stop raving about the poutine. Next time I'm in town. I will be back!
