    It was my first time ordering and coming to Vans burger. Ordered a chocolate milk shake, a burger and two order of fries. The burger was so big that I was able to share it with my daughter. Shake was in a small cup. Microphone is a bit old so you hard to speak a little louder and clear for them to capture your order. Please be nice to the people working here, the time I went it was super busy and someone behind me was being a bit rude to them. The lady at the window who takes the payment is also the same person who is taking down the orders. Highly recommended this burger spot!

    The service was good, the girl taking my order was friendly, and the burger was good. I ordered the Big Pete which tasted like a Big Mac from McDonald's. I heard this place makes a good burger and since I was around the area, I went and checked it out. Overall, it wasn't bad (above OK?). I was just expecting something more since a lot of people were raving about this place.

    I arrived just after 11 on a Friday morning and was quickly greeted and my order taken while I waited in line! I got a cheeseburger, onion rings, and a chocolate shake. Just as good as I always remember. Was greeted at the window. Everyone is always very friendly and welcoming. For those of you who frequent the sweet spot next-door, their newsletter announced that they will not be reopening.

    A juicy well-made Big Pete Double.

    I finally made it out to the renowned Van's Burger! Worth the wait... a cut above "fast food". They have very select hours of business and really make the wait worth it. I would place them far above any typical fast food burger place and even in the top of many dine-in options (they have a few picnic benches but are a drive through). I went big with a Big Pete Double (hold the onions and sauce... I am picky), a XL Chocolate Shake (secret menu item ;), some fries, a 1/4 Pound Corn Dog, and a Strawberry Shortcake (limited). The burger is fresh and has a good texture, juicy, and might believably be about 1/2lb for this burger. Not quite Gourmet level... but WAY above what most places deliver. A great burger you won't regret that's worth the wait and customer service that makes you feel welcome and valued from start to finish. They have a little time and take a little time to make a great experience.

We ordered the indian burger - vada pav (highly recommend & delicious), chicken rice bowl (tasty), chicken bombay roll (indian burrito with chicken - nice flavors and huge) along with their gun powder fries (amazing). While I liked all their dishes their chicken bombay roll had way too much rice but had good flavors. It was tasty just a little too much of rice imo. I reduced a star for 2 reasons - 1. This place isnt cheap 2. They change their food truck location which is okay but their online order via Uber Eats does not work. Atleast when I was trying for 2 days it said the food truck is not available while they actually were in operation. They would not answer their phone call and we had to locate their food truck to place our bulk order for a large group. Hence reduced the star. All in all I would order back from here but hope they figure out why Uber Eats or Postmates or delivery.com were unable to process any online order even when they were around changing locations in Olympia. Dont have the bandwidth to chase them on the streets of Olympia tbh.

Portions are large here so I brought some of the mac home and am looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow. My husband tried the dip sandwich with a side of the mashed potatoes and gravy and ate every last bit. He loved it. It's a very cute cafe on the corner with friendly staff. I witnessed a man in need come in and take advantage of the program they have where you can buy a meal for a hungry person to come in in the future and have a free meal. That's a lovely service to the community. So glad I was able to finally patronize this great vegan business! I'll try to come back soon!

Pros: Chill lounge/sitting area at the front corner with sofas, a low bar (accessibility friendly) and board games. Big tables to accommodate groups and various bar seating. Large brewery menu screens with large range and the food looked good. Tbh we came for brews so can't comment on food. The Wildman Beer brand was so-so. Some better than others! Cons: FOH staff interaction. Why we love pubs/breweries is because of the chill, friendly, conversational flow of FOH; their knowledge of the beers and/or cocktails, their passion for sharing it with new customers so they come back again and again ... this vibe fell short at Wildman. TL;DR Good for a basic group of people looking for a brewery experience in town with room for large groups. Not for those who are expecting an awesome brewery experience -- a la PDX, DEN, PHX, ATX or SEA.

But when I saw that they opened up a location in Olympia and Steve and I were going to Olympia for a show it made perfect sense to go to this new location. Downtown where our show was is super walkable and this brewery is right there. When we went in what escaped my attention at the Raymond location was that I was particularly impressed with their own mead selection. And the mead did not disappoint in the slightest. The first mead I had was their Oak Aged Classic Mead. Such fantastic balance in body and the oak flavor was truly impressive! I got another mead from the list, the Sneaky Bastard Meer. It's called meer I believe due to the five different kinds of hops they put into it. Great floral and honey flavored highlights! Our experience here was excellent! Steve enjoyed his drink selections as well! Definitely returning for more mead enjoyment!

The first time we ate a casual lunch here, ordered the veg soup with chicken dumplings and beet borscht, plus the two dessert cakes to go. The veg soup is a clear broth with small bits of veggies, mostly carrots and lots of onions. The dumplings were a decent portion, very uniform in size. Its good for a craving, but the borscht seemed more homemade and hearty; it was much more satisfying and filling, especially due to the very generous portion of soft beef cubes, and the beets were nice and chunky. The beef cubes were, like the chicken dumplings, also very uniformly sized, so no yukky bits. The cakes were both rich tasting yet had subtle flavors; had never tried them before. The second time we ate lunch here, ordered the same two main dishes; was counting on the borscht being as filling, but it was not, there were only a few chunks of beef, and the sour cream had gone off. Maybe will try again...
