We have eaten here several times. The food is good and the prices are not bad. The service is also very good. I do find the place to be a little dark with their lighting. We do find the place a good place to go and will return. read more

Stopped into town for ice cream but ended up stumbling across this place and I'm so glad we did! It's the kind of classic, no-frills spot where you can grab a cold beer, catch a game, and dig into some seriously satisfying comfort food. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming. Every server we interacted with was smiling and genuinely friendly. It really added to the atmosphere. You can tell the staff enjoys working there, and that kind of energy is infectious. Now, the food: the burger was exactly what I crave when I think of a good, old-fashioned burger. Nothing over-complicated, just juicy, well-seasoned beef, melted cheese, and a toasted bun. It was cooked just right, with that perfect balance of savory and juicy. Simple, but executed beautifully. On the side? Two absolutely gigantic onion rings that were golden, crispy, and sweet. The batter had a light crunch without being greasy, and the onions inside were tender and flavorful. Basically onion ring perfection. The mozzarella sticks were another standout. Hot, gooey, and with a satisfying cheese pull that was honestly Instagram-worthy. Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside. Exactly how they should be. I wouldn't recommend the cocktails. They were trying too hard with a fancy mixology vibe that didn't quite land. But the beer? Cold, refreshing, and just right with the food and the atmosphere. Why go? If you're looking for a relaxed spot to hang out, enjoy a game, and eat some really solid comfort food, this place delivers. It's the kind of place you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. read more

Warning: This review is completely biased. I am a vegan, so this review won't be helpful to anyone who isn't a vegan. My friend loves this place, so I wanted to get lunch with her and check it out. I've been a vegetarian most of my life and a vegan for quite some time, so I'm used to picking through menus and finding something I can have. This menu was surprisingly challenging for me. The only items that were vegan as is were the fries (including garlic and sweet potato). I figured I'd be safe with customizing a salad. The only one that could be veganized was the Southwest Salad, but I had to get it without chicken, cheese, and dressing. That left lettuce, tomatoes, onions, black olives (which I don't like), and black beans, with no dressing. I asked for a lemon so I could squeeze it over my salad. There was no compensation for removing all those items. So I paid $20 for that salad. We sat at the end of the bar by the front window. Our server was busy and it was hard to get her attention, so we spent most of our meal unattended, which meant no refills on our drinks even though we were at the bar. This may be a great place for people who can have most of the menu as is and who come at a not-so-busy time; it just wasn't a win for me. read more

They have the best steak, it's not cheap, but I've had worst steak for much more. From Greenwater to Puyallup! Excellent service and the atmosphere is on point. Chefs kiss! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Was my first visit to Rainier Bar & Grill and definitely won't be my last. Stopped by for dinner and drinks before seeing a show at The Chalet Theater a few blocks away. Ponied up to the bar for the all the tables were occupied. Both bar tenders were happy, attentive and made our stay very enjoyable. I am a bit of a picky eater and they were more than accommodating to ensure I was satisfied with what I ordered. The fricken onion rings were absolutely over the top and some of the best onion rings I have ever experienced. I can't wait to go back and order a full side of them. Their prices were very fair and you won't leave feeling like you did not get your money's worth. The menu was vast and provided a variety of options regardless of your current appetite. Thank you again and look forward to another visit soon. read more

I have had the steak salad multiple times, and I used to enjoy it. Lately, the salad is made with a bunch of white Romain hearts for lettuce. I commented on this 2 visits ago since I really want my salad to look green and not white - for both taste and nutrition. The server said the salad is supposed to be a 50/50 mix of Romaine Lettuce and a spring mix. She suggested that I specifically ask for more spring mix next time. Last night, I specifically asked the server to make sure I got more Spring mix than Romaine. When my food finally came (about a half hour later), the salad was almost all white with Romaine hearts (basically garbage). Sorry, "I told the cook" was all I got from the server, and then my server disappeared for another 40 minutes. A completely different server finally noticed me looking around and offered to bring me my check. Once she brought me the check, the server finally showed up to thank me for coming in ... which seemed awkward after ignoring me for most of my visit. The last minute visit made me feel like the server wanted a good tip even though I couldn't even get a refill of my water. Anyways, I am done with the steak salad. I used to enjoy them here, but I'll go to the unnamed place across the street when I get the urge for another steak salad. read more

I'll start by saying the food was very good! We go to the Rainier multiple times a year. This time we sat at the bar. The bartender was not quick to greet or ask us for our drink order. When she did finally ask, the G&T ordered had flat tonic. We let her know, she made another saying she used tonic from a bottle. Same thing, it was flat. What bartender makes a G&T and can't tell the tonic is flat?? She then proceeded to ignore us the rest of the time all the while spending 15min chatting with her friends. We had to ask another server for assistance after having asked and been ignored multiple times. We asked for a manager and was told the bartender is the manager. Next time we walk in and see that bartender, we'll walk right back out. There are a lot more restaurants out there who know how to treat their clients. read more

I had the pleasure of being served by Amanda today. She was polite, made great drinks, and gave great service. The food was so delicious. I had the Cesar wrap, along with garlic fries (highly recommed). We went to celebrate a birthday. Great for any gathering. I will most definitely be going back. I've been going here for years now. Great burgers!! read more

The food was not just bad but it was gross terrible food that wasn't even edible. Over priced and disgusting

Great downtown restaurant and bar. Friendly and attentive staff. Food is tasty with good portions and lots of options. Enjoyed the atmosphere and cold beer. Will be back! read more

Nice outside area with fire where you can relax and drink beer! Pizza looked good but we did not eat there!

Terrible establishment with unprofessional workers. Employees speak/gossip negatively about bad tips, guest, and coworkers. Maybe the tips wouldn't be so bad if they spent more time attending to their tables and less time talking smack on the floor read more

For a place we used to really enjoy, we almost always skip it when we are in town. Food quality has declined significantly and hasn't been good in a while. I really enjoyed getting food poisoning from the seared Ahi salad. read more

We've enjoyed our time here in previous visits but the lack of reservation system and inaccurate wait times makes getting in the door too much of a headache for the quality of food. Its an easy thing to give customers the convinience of not loitering around outside for an hour to get a table. At least get better at estimating wait times and text folks so they can walk around and enjoy Enumclaw instead of being tethered outside for an indeterminate amount of time. read more

I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with tater tots and a cup of chowder. The knife was so dull I couldn't cut the burger in half. This is a massive amount of food. I was looking forward to the tater tots but they were so over done that that they were inedible. I don't know who needs to eat this massive of a burger! For what this costs it should be supreme. I prefer a burger patty that is smaller myself. The chowder was ok not wonderful. Probably my last visit. Been coming for years so step up your game. read more

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

Looked for a burger and brew stop for lunch last Monday after snow camping up over Tacoma Pass. Found this little gem and really enjoyed it. Pain in the butt to find parking at times but a few drives around the block we nabbed a couple spots up front. From the moment we walked in the service was stellar. Vee seated us and got drinks rolling, Rita served us after that. All the food was great. The turkey dip, my bacon bleu burger, my other buddies western/bbq something burger excellent potions, good cook and seasoning. The side salad was excellent. Blue cheese with crumbles as well. Fries and tots were great. Beer selection decent. It's a little dark in there and the menus are hard to read for us 50+ year old dudes, but minor issue. The best part on this was the amazing service we received from both ladies. We especially love how friendly, witty and attentive Rita was. Just perfect service all around. I enjoyed watching all the servers and bar tenders working together and having fun with the customers. I will be back here every time I'm coming through Enumclaw. Three thumbs, way up! read more

This place is a wonderful gem! My husband and I have been here a handful of times and each time we have a great time! The food is very yummy (BBQ onion ring burger, fish and chips, Rainier, BLT.. are some of the items we have tried). Our favorite is the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream served in a hot skillet. We drive an hour just to get the brownie for special occasions LOL. Service is always fast and servers are friendly. This place gets busy in the evenings and weekends, but nice and slow earlier in the day and weekdays (like everywhere else). I highly recommend stopping by next time you're in Enumclaw! read more

We've driven through/past Enumclaw many times, but this is the first time we were actually in the "downtown" area. There are so many restaurants/pubs and wine bars it was hard to choose which one to have lunch at. We chose this one at random...and it was an "almost" great choice. We were here around 12:30 on a Tuesday, the place was busy but not packed. We sat down and a young person gave us menus and took our drink orders, returned with them right away and then we waited......it appeared that there were two servers and one bus person (the one that took our drink orders) both of the servers walked past us several times until we stopped one and asked if we could order. She immediately apologized and said she and the other server split/swap tables and thought the other server was taking care of us. I appreciate this system as it allows each server a fair share of tables, but you need to have a very clear communication system to be certain things like this don't happen. These days my Hubby and I often split meals, which is what we told the server, and we got the French dip with sweet potato fries and also a side of garlic fries. The server asked us if we wanted any sauces with our order, we got the tarter and the garlic/pepper mayo, both house made and so good! The garlic/pepper mayo had just the right amount of pepper. The garlic fries came out first and they were amazing!!! Hot, fresh and they top them with an herb garlic which has so much more flavor than just garlic. We got the sandwich with Swiss cheese and sautéed onions. They put the sandwich on two plates which is always appreciated. The sandwich was just okay; the bun was supposed to be toasted but just felt/seemed stale. The cheese wasn't melted and the onions were stacked in the center. The meat had a decent flavor, nothing spectacular, but there was plenty of it. The au jus was okay, again nothing special. Despite the initial server mix up, ours was attentive and friendly. We liked the look and feel of this place, their drink menu looked interesting and reasonably priced. We both agreed that we should come back one evening and check it out. read more

A group of 10 went yesterday around 12:30pm. Unfortunately their large table was taken and had a long wait. But they had two tables that seated 6 right next to each other. We did girls at one table and guys and the other. It worked out quite nicely! Our waitress was Becca. She was fantastic. Not one water cup or soda cup or juice cup was empty even one time!! This is one of the first things I look for in a good server. She was also super personable and despite having to server 10 people at two tables acted like it was just a small group of 4 she was serving. Service 10/10 To the food... We had a lot of things food wise. Bacon cheeseburgers with garlic fries. (If you haven't had their garlic fries. Please do. It's a bit extra bit so worth the extra cost) 9/10 Prawns and chips. I want to say these were delicious. But unfortunately they were just ok. They should smell like coconut since they're coconut prawns but they had a bit of used frying oil smell instead which I struggled to get past and only ate a few of them. Again the fries were delicous (and didn't have the smell) 5/10 Fish and chips. I was told they were delicous and would order again. 9/10 pulled pork sandwich. Friend said it was good. But didn't give me a rating. We were all so busy chatting and talking and then eating I didn't even get a pic. BUT I will for sure return. This is a gem in enumclaw. read more

Great bartenders. Welcoming friendly and excellent service. Ordered the ahi tuna. Was cooked perfectly. Seared with a. Ice sesame crust. They gave me wasabi but didn't serve it with any soy. Has to ask for that. I highly recommend visiting. The place was active but not too loud. It made for a great setting read more

I'm just going to leave this here for educational purposes. The manager decided not to serve me after she saw my ID said "not for real ID purposes". Meaning I won't be able to use my my ID to fly in the airport starting in may 2025. After hiking the Burroughs all I wanted was to be able to enjoy a draft Rainer. Unfortunately due to her not willing to listen to me, the customer service lacked. I will not be returning. The food was decent though. I wouldn't put that down. Although if the service isn't up to par I cant support an establishment. It's also wild to me because this is the same ID I use to fly for my job, to do my taxes, buy alcohol, and everything else you need an ID for identification purposes. read more

Rainier Bar & Grill - REAL ID - Bars Near Me - Enumclaw, Washington

Food: ordered the Chicken Caesar (regular size) and daily special shrimp po boy. Food wasn't bad but nothing special. The po boy could have used more flavors, but the salad was as expected. We weren't aware the garlic fries or ranch was extra cost, and next time, we wouldn't order the garlic fries - too garlic for our tastes! Location: good location with TVs and spacious seating. Due to COVID, they have seating both inside and outside under some tents - but if outside, you need to walk in the store to order your food "take out" and carry it yourself Service: best part of the experience was our server Sylvia! She was attentive, and when they didn't have enough cider for a full pint - she did her best to navigate the situation (and we didn't get charged for the half pint, which was nice of her!) read more
