The shrimp tacos were not great. However, their steak fries and burgers are SO delicious. I love the cowboy burger. The shoestring frowns are amazing and you HAVE to try their delicious aioli dipping sauce. The service is great every time. The ambience is amazing and the place is nice and clean. read more

Not enough room for a large group and food quality was low especially for the prices. Server was nice but slow.

We've been to Uptown Lounge a hand full of times so I was surprised to see that I hadn't reviewed them yet. Everything we've had has always been amazing! This time we got their fried pickles to start but didn't photograph them because we basically inhailed them! For our meals we got a baked potato and wings. The baked potato was the best I've ever had at a restaurant and I will absolutely get in again and again until they run out! While it is a bummer that it is 21+, we do love the atmosphere for date night when we get the opportunity. Our service has always been top notch with our food coming out quick and refills always being supplied. We can't wait to go back! read more

I haven't been to Yelm in years, and came by to visit family and introduce them to my partner. My Aunt and Uncle insisted on taking us to lunch here at Uptown Lounge, and who am I to argue? I got the smoked manhattan, which smelled and tasted amazing, and was quite the impressive looking experience. Pickle chips for an appetizer with truffle aioli were a great start. I went with the steak sandwich, tender meat on a fluffy perfectly grilled ciabatta roll and truffle fries as the side. SO GOOD! Absolutely delicious. My partner got a burger and steak fries and he was pretty happy with his selection as well. Beautiful decor, windows took advantage of the sunlight, excellent service from the moment we walked through the door. I'm sure we'll be back next time we're in town. read more

Came here with a group and just stuck to 2 apps and a drink (why not? My day was free) I think the waiter did his best getting through with everyone.) I ordered Coconut Shrimp, spinach dip, and a Mexican Mule to drink. Everything came out in good time and my drink was spicy and delicious! Next time I may try their numerous salads or sandwiches! read more

My friends and I try to dine here at least once every couple of months and we are never disappointed! Not only is the food amazing, our servers are always incredible and today was no exception. We've had Chase as our server a few times now and regardless of how busy it is, he's always happy, pleasant to talk to and prompt! They were clearly short staffed today and the manager, Wayne, was also working the floor and was also incredibly nice, prompt and pleasant! I always give this place a 5/5 but if I could rate it higher than that today, I would! Special shoutout to those 2 for keeping the atmosphere positive amongst the chaos. read more

They have fantastic mashed potatoes I usually get the fillet, not sure if they add liquid smoke or marinade their steaks, but I'm not crazy about the flavor. It's very tender, just can not get past whatever they are doing. read more

It looks like it has been about a year since my last review of Uptown Lounge so I thought I'd throw them another 5 stars because they have been consistently outstanding the last few trips in. I drive from Olympia into Yelm just to eat at Uptown. They have the best truffle fries around. It's crazy to me that I drive all that way for fries... but I do. Service is always impeccable and the ambiance always has a chill vibe. read more

We stopped in 30 minutes before our movie and specifically told the waiter we only had 30 minutes and would just be ordering two drinks. It seemed simple enough. Fifteen minutes later he finally takes our order. Five minutes after that, we finally saw the drinks being made and then sit on the counter . Five minutes after watching the drinks sit on the counter, as we were actively trying to wave someone down to tell them to forget it because we were running out of time, the waiter finally brought the drinks over. He dropped them off quickly and walked away without checking in. Since we no longer had time to drink them, we asked the manager if we could take them into the theater. He quickly said no, we could not and barely stated they were understaffed with hardly stopping. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the delay, and no attempt to make the situation right. He didn't seem surprised or concerned at all. We ended up leaving two untouched $20 drinks on the table and heading into our movie. A complete waste of 30 minutes and $45 (to include tax). Very disappointing experience. read more

Have to update my review after visiting several times. The food is always spot on (minus my medium rare burger coming out well done). My only reason for taking off a star is the service is super hit and miss. The last two times we have come here our server has been pretty bad. If this place could just zero in on their customer service, it would be 5 stars all day long. read more

Uptown Lounge - Black and Blu Burger 4/5 stars - Lounges Near Me - Yelm, Washington

The cheesy bacon cowboy was amazing!! Shalee was our server and she was very nice, attentive and funny. 11/10 experience I do recommend!!

Sat after being seated - watching 3 servers pass by numerous times full well knowing we were ready to order. We were there to celebrate so being ignored really brought down the celebratory mood. Ended up leaving so we could actually have dinner tonight. Worst experience. read more

I want to give good review of food, but first visit wasn't great. Went on Sat afternoon. Ordered French onion soup that my husband said was salty. Then I ordered fish n chips and my husband tuna melt. My fish n chips were way salty and not meaty but rather flaky (I think from over frying) as well as my husband's dish was salty and a little smelly. A nice young man, I am assuming is the manager, asked how are food was and we were honest. He offered to try something else but we said no it's OK. They comped us the entrees. Becky our waitress was great. read more

This spot is such a great idea, dinner and a movie! This place has my favorite bar setup, comfy chairs and padded bar around your legs. I love that idea. The food and drinks continue to rotate which is fun. The staff is attentive and I believe it is a location to dress up or for comfort. I really enjoy this spot a lot. read more

The service all around I feel is very very sincere. I feel like I'm being treated like part of the family when I go in. And if there's ever even a small mistake because it doesn't seem like they make many but if there is, they go above and beyond to make it right. read more

Our server was great and service was fast. Food was delicious and came out quick, hot, and as we ordered it. Pretty cool bar with some neat drinks ( we did not partake) but they looked awesome. I'd love to come again. read more

Uptown Lounge hands down has nailed every aspect into a Classy, Chic, Casual Environment and Fabulous Tasting Foods and Drinks. I also love that it's connected to the movie theater so if you want to do dinner and a movie, it's convenient to do so. It wasn't crowded when we went but I can see it getting that way especially on the weekend so I recommend going early or during the week. Their presentation and service is amazing and yet very personable. Our bartenders were on point with a great attitude and upbeat spirit. As well as being knowledgeable about the menu choices, it really made our first time visit to Uptown one of many to come! Definitely will be coming back. I will recommend Uptown for any occasion or just a casual spot to experience. read more

Good people and the food and drinks was to died for If you in town then you will have to visit this place not stipulations like you have to use 100 characters to leave a review what up with that ? I see why people stop leaving reviews. If I can't use a couple of words to describe you then there's really nothing to say read more

I have dined at the Uptown Lounge several times and the food is generally very good, and the service reasonable. i Hope tonight's meal is not indic of new management or inexperienced cooks. I ordered the steak Cesar salad. It comes with crostini and a cheddar crisp with a balsamic glaze. My sister ordered the chicken BLT-A which comes with fries. The wait was incredibly long: over 45 minutes. The lounge was not busy, with about 4 other tables. We were not offered the table popcorn , which at the time didn't concern me because I was looking forward to the salad. our server never checked on us for drinks or to let us know the status of the order. When we finally flagged her down for some popcorn ( we were really hungry at that point), and she brought it out after a short delay, immediately followed by another server with our meals. Though my steak bites looked a little dull (and I felt them because they actually looked cool), the first bite was tasty, if room temperature. I bit into a crostini and it was cold and stale-obviously reheated. I asked my sister how her fries were and she said lukewarm, NOT crispy. As the meal progressed, the fries became staler and my crostini fought back with each bite. The meat had obviously been microwaved, or sat under lights for a VERY long time before cooling again before serving. The server stopped by to ask how the food was and I said "this has been sitting for a long time." She was flustered and said " But it was the salad I was waiting on", which I suppose meant mine was cooked just before being brought out. Not even close to being true. I finished the meat portion and began feeling nauseous so I stopped eating the salad. I considered how long this salad had actually been sitting at room temps, and decided not to temp fate. I declined having a new salad made as we were dining just before our movie. The movie saved an otherwise awful experience. I would caution prospective diners to insist on freshly-made food items and not wait longer than 15 minutes for delivery. read more

Most of the tine they're great. This time.... not so much. When I pay $28 for a pizza to be delivered, I expect consistency. I called them and they delivered me one like the first photo, hence 4 1/2 stars and not 1. Thank you! read more

We were seated outside and our server did ask if we were ready to order shortly after we arrived. We were not quite ready, so she took our drink order and said she'd return. 30 minutes later! The food and drinks were delicious. We shared the best coconut prawns, tenderloin medallions and loaded potato skins and each opted for the huckleberry mule - perfection. When she checked in on us, we ordered a second drink and she assured us it would be "much faster this time" since the crowd had died down (it was not that busy when we arrived). The table next to ours had a very attentive server, we were forgotten. About 40 mins later this time, she obviously forgot our drinks, but used the "we are so busy excuse" and then just said, "I will just cancel those." We said no, we'd still like the drinks we ordered. Not so great service, excellent food. 5 stars for the food and ambiance. read more

The food is always excellent. I have food sensitivities and am always taken care of by the waitstaff. I was there recently and they had a piano player there who was just so kind and even took a request or two. It was great fun to try to guess the song and which movie or show it came from. This is the perfect place to go on a date night where you can get a tasty drink. Fabulous food and dessert, and then walk over to the movie theater read more

Pros: fries were good. jalapeño popper burger was ok, not bad. Nothing like the picture advertised. Cons: burger bowl/guacamole was horrible-advertised as Fresh guacamole, fresh jalapeño, fresh tortilla strips, melted pepper jack cheese, mayo, lettuce, and red onion. All it had was a patty with cheese, on bagged-lettuce. read more

"Uptown Lounge" Interesting name since it's in Yelm buuut I get they wanted it to sound fancier than it is. When you walk in - it smells like popcorn. If you like popcorn great, if not it can be a turn off. Well it's in the movie theater hellloooo what did you expect?! When I went recently there were lots of kids going to the movies but it's easy to ignore that noise when you're tipsy. The food is decent. I had the filet mignon it was juicyyy & flavorful. I liked it a lot. My friend has fish & chips, she was pretty disappointed as it wasn't very flavorful. Again this is a restaurant in a movie theater we knew better than to expect a 5 or 4 star meal LOL. The burgers are overpriced at $16 each. They're also nothing special - you might as well go to McDonalds. Most items on the menu are overpriced. The service was good. The food came fairly quick. They definitely get busy. This is for sure the fanciest restaurant in Yelm... And it smells like popcorn because it's in the movie theater. Let that sink in... If you want a romantic night out, or to celebrate a special event I highly recommend driving to Tacoma or Seattle, hell even Bellevue to at least have that experience. read more

It's connected to the theatre so you can always catch a movie after too. read more

The food is soooooo good & so are their cocktails !! Have been satisfied both times we came here !

To be honest... if a zero rating was possible, I would have picked that. I sat on my decision to place this review for a little over a week and in the end... I just had to get it out of my system. What was meant to be a convenient to-go order (in and out) ended up taking way too much time on the evening of a day when all I wanted was a good meal and relax at home. Called the order in and was told there would be about a 20 minute wait... so I timed my arrival and walked through the door about 18 minutes later. As expected, I was told the order was about 2 minutes from being ready... so, I paid and waited. I forgot to include that the moment I walked through the door... one of the wait team had a very obvious and annoyed look at their watch... made me feel right at home and welcome! Now, at regular 3-5 minute intervals, I was told that it would only be a couple more minutes... or that they were still working on my order, which was finally handed to me after about 15 minutes after paying and tipping. Thought I'd just shake it off and drive home to enjoy my meal... but that was not the end of it. The one star goes to the fries... they were well cooked and seasoned. However, the Classic Cheeseburger was stodgy, overcooked and pretty much lacking flavor. I expected it to be somewhat soggy, due to pick-up and drive time... but the rest of the experience failed compensate for that aspect. So here it is... and I have been to Uptown Lounge several times in the past without disappointment, but no stand-out experiences... this one killed it for me and can not imagine a scenario that will see me try again! read more
