Ya'll Yelp friends, I have to share with you on this very unique business, you can dine on a real…read moreoriginal vintage railroad, pretty cool ya?! Mount Rainier Railroad Dining, the railroad is built in 1922, purchased in Portland Oregon, by founder Robert Thurston. I got to meet and chat with the grandson, he was the only wait staff I saw that day that ran the front. It seems they are short staff, maybe that is the reason for the low ratings. We enjoyed ourselves before getting a table, looking around the railroad, checking out the front of shop, reading about all the history and checking out the gift shop. Pretty nostalgic, love the decor and it was a learning experience! The menu features a variety of American classics, such as steaks, seafood, pasta, and check out the daily specials! Try their specialties, the world famous Hobo Stew, consist of smoked beef, potatoes carrots, and cabbage in a sourdough bread loaf. We enjoyed our visit to Mount Rainier Railroad Dining and can't wait to visit again our our next adventures/visit to PNW. Check it out after you do the railroad train tour, or just come visit this part of town and make time for this. I know pricey but let's support local out here at Elbe!

We had received some frozen mozzarella sticks, she profusely apologized and then comped us for them. All with a cheerful attitude and great smile I had their fish and chips and was immediately sold with the first bite! Savory, tasty, and crispy! What more do ya want?! Tartar sauce was also great and I'm not normally a fan! My fam had burgers and a Caesar salad with grilled chicken, it was all delicious! I know I'm gushing but I can see why this is a well reviewed place. Give them a try, worth it. Happy eating, - Fj

We ordered apple juice ,coffee, the Cruiser Country Benedict, Cruiser Scrambler and a half order of biscuits and gravy. The portions were big, so I shared the scrambler with my 1.5yr and 5yr old. It was the perfect portion for all 3 of us. My husband enjoyed his country Benedict and we were given fresh homemade jam for our toast. Everything was delicious and the service was great as well.

Whatever they fry their fries and tots in is delicious! The fries were soft on the insane and a little crunchy on the outside. Some of the best fries I've had.

So take what you will from that. 10/10 I would recommend coming here after a day on the mountain. Ps-the Cosmic Crisp cider was DELICIOUS! Comes in a can.

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.

First off if you walk away hungry then it's your own damn fault…read more Went here with my parents after a visit to Northwest Trek. My parents got burgers, mom had to take half of it home and dad finished his burger but had to take the fries. Said the fries were some of the better fries they have had. I, myself, ordered the classic supreme pizza and damn there was a lot on that pie. Plenty of sauce and the toppings were actually put on before the cheese. So it's like the cheese was used to seal over the toppings and I loved it. I usually judge a pizza by how much clean up there is after eating and I was cleaning after every bite. It's the typical pub or dive bar setting, the atmosphere step down was it felt a little cramped and the jukebox was defaulting to heavy metal and hard rock which wasn't quite enjoyable. Definitely if you are in Eatonville or on your way to Mt Rainier you would not be wasting time or money visiting this place. Service was fantastic. The place really filled up after we entered and she was doing it all by herself out front. Bravo!!!

First, the girl who helped me was incredibly kind, helpful, and just effortlessly welcoming (also--stunning, which matched the whole vibe of the place). The food? Genuinely top tier. The mushroom Alfredo was hands down the best I've had in my life. I've actually tried recreating it since I got home and... humbling experience. Not even close. The macarons were perfect, the stump cake is ideal if you want dessert without it being overly sweet, and the cheese Danish tasted way more authentic than the usual overly sugary versions (definitely not your typical Starbucks situation). Everything was hearty, filling, and just really, really good. One of those places you randomly stop at and then think about later like... wait, why was that so good? Would absolutely go back.
