    Forager
    Harshmeet S.

    Went for a Friday dinner this place has lots of parking around within couple of minutes walk. Had heard a lot of good reviews about their burgers. The place is a bit dark and has a lot of seatings. There was not a lot of wait time and we ordered cowboy and forager. I had the forager the burger was amazing and the meat was very well cooked. I tried the cowboy and the burger was better but both were really tasty. I did not care for the fries and it was an over fried. Will for sure try this place again.

    Solid pub grub. The Bison has a nice selection of draught beers (although the list is pared down compared to the Bine's, it's got something for everyone). We ordered the sea salt and vinegar version of the fried drumsticks to start - fun and high-protein; the price beats the wings hands down, too. For entrees we had burgers, which were scratch-made and cooked to order (living on the edge - I'm a medium/pink center person). The "Cowboy" was tasty; smoky and a little spicy. The fries were the one item that I wasn't totally wild about; they're the typical food service fries with the starchy coating. Not my favorite. This is an area in which the Bine excels over the Bison. That, and the air conditioning (Bine has it, Bison does not (there are fans and one dinky unit, but everyone is sweatttty in there on a hot day)). Both places are really good; you can't go wrong.

    I loved this place! My husband and me just ate here and we are speechless! We loved the food, the service and the drinks!

    Went to grab some burgers. It's very good. Tried the beast burger and bison burger. Both were very good. The place was pretty packed. Ambience is standard pub like. Staff was pretty good too. I'd def visit this place for burgers and beer.

    Burger was really good! Probably one of the best ive had in a long time! Drinks are good too! Pretty cool place to just go and hang out. It passed my expectations.

    I was craving a burger and The Nison came to mind. Arrived during happy hour and enjoyed some onion rings with our burger and fries. We shared the burger, and there was plenty for two. Burger was cooked perfectly medium with a touch of pink. Hand cut fries were hot and delicious. Onion rings were freshly dipped and fried. We enjoyed the honey sriracha sauce. Service was quick even though the place was mostly full. Average noise level. TV's all around with sports playing. Nice place to go for a burger.

    This is it! This is the burger I've been looking for! The service was fantastic, we were seated fast and had our order in really quick. I ordered the forager burger. It was AMAZING! This may be the best burger I've had in Washington state! The beef was 100% prime rib and it was seasoned beautifully and cooked perfectly. The toppings were amazing! The bun was soft and fresh. The fries were a delightful golden brown and were nice and crispy. Great meal, great service! I can't wait to get back!

    The thing that really sets up the rating for this place was the service that we got. Our server was friendly and checked in the appropriate amount of time. The food was quick and HOT. In terms of the quality, I'm a Southern and the meat was definitely juicy but the flavor was just okay. It wasn't the best but it wasn't too bad. I think the fries and nachos ended up shining more than the brisket did as much as it pains me to say that. I think I had higher hopes and the flavor being a bit bland was a bit of a let down. I think the vibe here is great. It's definitely a fun "let's go grab drinks" and has a very country cabin feel with lots of sports playing. They had a decent selection of alcohol and I think makes for a great place to hang out with some friends late at night. I definitely think this place is worth checking out at least once since it's pretty hard to come by BBQ in WA!

    Gotta give this some STARS and I will do my best to describe, as I was unable to take pictures…read more Came here to have a Roundtable with our Director, and he suggested this place as a midway point. Never even knew this area existed, but here we are. Started out with an Acid BlackBerry Cider, and it did not disappoint. This place is actually pretty big, with tons of seating and ambiance. After some chit chat, we ordered and I went with the Double Smash Burger and regular Fries. In the mighty and powerful words of Buford T. Justice... "SOMBITCH!!" Hands down the BEST Smash Burger I've had! Paired perfectly with dill pickle slices, that double American Cheese, grilled onions and whatever sauce or spread they had on it...warning... it's juicy and can get a little sloppy, but that makes a solid smash burger!!! That meal perfectly hit the spot! Could be a bit pricey on the menu, but anymore, what place isn't? Either way, you can expect some awesome grub that won't break the bank... especially if the Director is picking up the tab ;). The service was great, the conversation and team was in good form and cheer, and the meal was spot on. Hoping one day I get back out this way as an excuse to stop by again. Thanks for the experience and as always, enjoy and have a Smashing Ol' Time!

Good portion sizes and tasty! Old fashioned cocktail was nice and strong, and lots of beers to choose from too. Couple of misses...something is up with the acoustics because there is a constant din that you have to yell over to be heard by your table mates. They automatically add 20% which I was fine with because service was great, but just a heads up. And prices seem high, like two meals and two drinks at HH prices was $70 before tip, you'd think it would be more of a bargain. But still, I wouldn't mind going back to try more of their menu.

Their tap list rotates frequently, but they have a large selection which means there's usually something for everyone. My one wish is that you could sample before committing. My go-to order is a bacon grilled cheese, but I remove the smoky aioli & ask for a side of serrano pepper jelly to dip it in instead. But everything on their menu is good, including their specials which change maybe every few months or so. Most recently we came in last night around ~7:20p w/ a group of 9 & were quickly seated at the big picnic table. Despite closing at 9p, the server let us order a monster cookie right as the kitchen was closing & let us stay a bit longer to finish our drinks/meals while they were closing up, letting us know we didn't need to rush. It was appreciated & even with a big group toward end of the evening, drinks & food all came out fast.

All of which can be consumed on site. If you want to drink one of their canned beers on site, they charge $2 in addition to the price of the can.

I got a small glass of some rando cider, but I think that I got charged a higher peace than what was listed on the chalkboard menu that hangs up above the cashier table. Staff was welcoming, but idk...was not feeing comfortable here. Very tight, too. Only like three stools to sit at if you decide to stay at this bar. Very cold here, too. At least the bathroom was spacious...arguably more than it had to be because would be nice to have more floor area at the front so more customers could be seated. Not much else to say except that the bonsai bar workshop was a cute experience, but also very hard to hear them because the portable heaters would be running, but gave out no heat after 30 minutes. Soooo, what was the point? Hm...

Both were very large portions and perfectly delicious. We paired the salads with the Gougeres - light and flavorful. There was a comfortable vibe, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Something I'm seeing more and more of lately is gender-neutral rest rooms, including here. I find general-neutral rest rooms to be brighter, cleaner, and better maintained. I'm not sure why that is but it's an absolute pleasure every time I go to an establishment that has one.

They have a cover band on Wed and we are planning to go back next week for that. I really loved their fries. Fresh, crispy, and just the right amount of salt. Margaritas were so tasty! My friend ordered another one right before the end of happy hour but was only about 1/3 of the way through her current one and they waited until she was finished about 20 min later before they brought her next one and still gave happy hour pricing. Most of the time I have the experience that they just stack the drinks. Kept water replenished, too. Their bathrooms are light and bright and the sink is outside the rooms. I loved that the sink water was slightly warm. Always a huge plus for me as my hands are often cold. Would definitely go back here and anticipate doing so next week!
