Seriously that great…read more This is the type of place your granddad told you about, stories long past of incredible food, a homey atmosphere, and just a good traditional place without the glitz and glamor of chain restaurants. I can envision a place like this in backwoods country away from civilization. What's more amazing is that it's in the middle of basically a city, retaining that old charm in a great way. Was told that hamburgers are pressed in house and can tell something different about them. Everything seems very high quality and also made from scratch much as they can. The whole place was fabulous. Fries don't come with salt, easy enough to add. Had bacon BBQ burger (saved bacon for cat), and seriously one is the best burgers have EVER had, ever. They even have a foot long hot dog, not on the menu. After so many recent duds am extremely happy that there still are great and affordable places to eat. You guys, and gals, ROCK!

Stopped in here after a nail appointment in Federal Way on a Sunday. My husband wanted teriyaki,…read moreand I really didn't feel like making multiple stops, so we gave this place a try. He got the spicy chicken teriyaki, and I decided (against my better judgment) to try something different and ordered the cheesesteak instead of one of their burgers--which I already know are really good. I should've just stuck with that. The cheesesteak was okay. The meat was tender and the flavor wasn't bad, but it was really dry. By the time I got home, I had to add my own condiments just to make it more enjoyable. It just felt like something was missing. My husband wasn't impressed with the teriyaki either. I didn't try it myself, but he said it wasn't the best he's had and probably wouldn't order it from here again. One highlight though--the peanut butter banana milkshake was delicious. Their milkshakes are definitely a win. Overall, I'd say this place is still worth it, but stick to the burgers--they're what they do best.

We're hungry. The place is in a small shopping center with plenty of parking spaces. We parked right in front. The restaurant is quite clean and nice. The lady server was extremely attentive and pleasant. Wagyu burger was recommended, so I ordered mine, I love onion rings and tater tots and this place made these so good and crispy, yes a little greasy of course. The IPA beer was excellent with my amazingly tender wagyu burger. It's 1/2 lb so my sister had to help me to finish it. The prices are amazingly inexpensive, well since we compare to the Bay Area LOL. The clam chowder and BLT that my sister and her husband had looked delicious too. It was a great dinner and next time I visit, I'll definitely come back for these tater tots, onion rings and the giant delicious Wagyu Burger.

The gouda was lost in the sweetness, a saltier cheese may be a better option. As for the burger patty, it was cooked perfectly and was clearly freshly ground. However, today it was missing salt and it really needed it with all of the onions. I'd definitely go back and try their bacon cheeseburger and the pies/desserts.

(I'm sorry…read moreif somebody doesn't like to say that) I and my husband missed our lunch and getting hungry, but just wanna have snack size eating. There are enough parking spaces close to here, and we saw people come and go, come and go. This place is only to go, menu is very simple, so after you order the meal served so quick. If you'd like to eat there, both side of the order counter, there is a counter space and you can eat there (no chair). And also there is a bathroom just side of the counter. I ordered Dick's special(one patty, lettuce, mayonnaise, chopped pickle) and my husband ordered Cheese burger plain(one patty, cheese, no condiments) and we both chose Coke. It was quick to ready our order. My husband was so happy for his plain cheese burger because he is picky -no need veggies and sauce for the burger that he said- It's not fancy burger but I like it! Just quick snack, not heavy and yummy!

My little brother wanted to buy my boyfriend a birthday meal since he was busy working and not able to do a full birthday celebration. I got the Hawaiian burger meal and catfish burger, my boyfriend got their grilled onions burger meal and grilled chicken burger, and my brother got their spicy chicken burger meal and a side order of their curly fries and onion rings. When we arrived, we were told for our fountain drinks for our meal that we could chose whatever we wanted from their fridge as their machine was broken. The food took a few more minutes than the estimated time but it was fine as they got everything correct and it gave me time to ask my brother what he wanted for his drink. The service here seemed friendly and professional as they were very good about informing us when we told them that we were picking up an order and to all those who came after us. The store seems small outside but they had quite a bit of seating and tables for those who wanted to dine in. The decor is retro and gives very much a classic diner vibe which I enjoy. The food here was very tasty! The fries, curly fries and onion rings were delicious and went well with the fry sauce they provide here. The burgers were cooked to perfection! My little brother really enjoyed their spicy chicken burger as being the perfect level of spiciness. I really loved the catfish burger too, it wasn't too thin or thick. Definitely going to have to frequent here whenever we're feeling for burgers or their other offerings!

Service is always great here and the servers seem seasoned and professional. They always follow up and come back when promised, and do so with a smile. Prices are great, considering the recent inflation in our country. We've tried the burgers and were very tasty with a good sized order of fries to accompany them. The pizza was just ok. Our latest visit was a Saturday afternoon, and while not at capacity, they were doing a fairly brisk business. A bit of confusion when the server dropped our bill off to us before we were finished. After a bit of follow up with her, we finally realized her shift was ending at 5 and wanted us to cash out. We did pose some resistance to this idea of closing our tab at first, as we were still playing pool and drinking, so she was slightly perturbed with us. A clearer communication of the fact would have avoided all of that. Still a fun place to hang out and I'm sure we'll be back.

Red Robin Review -- A Little Fishy!…read more I love coming to Red Robin, and every time I walk through the door, this restaurant makes me smile. The employees are always amazing, the service is wonderful, and the prices don't hurt your pocketbook too badly. The parking is great too! This time, though, I decided to try the fish and chips, and unfortunately, I wasn't very satisfied with the fish. It tasted like it was made from frozen pieces, and there really wasn't much fish there. I honestly felt like I could have gone to the grocery store, bought some fish, and fried it myself -- and probably had more fish on my plate. The fish was also very crispy -- not burnt, but almost to that point. I probably should have sent it back, but honestly, I didn't feel like getting another piece that might be the same way. Now, let me say something GOOD! The fries were great, and our waitress was wonderful. She kept our fries filled and always had a smile on her face. That kind of service makes a difference! And if you haven't tried their lemonades, you should! Try the strawberry lemonade -- it's delicious! And Red Robin, your burgers are GREAT, so I know you can do better with that fish! I will definitely be coming back because I love your restaurant, your employees, your burgers, and the overall experience. But Red Robin, please step it up with that fish! This Review Lady will be back -- just maybe ordering a burger next time!

If you are not into burgers there are lots of other options and they have a kids menu too. Prices have definitely increased recently, but with bottomless sides and special deals like the 9.99$ Big Yummmm Burger it still seems like a reasonable meal out. There is also happy hour available from 3-6 pm. Don't forget to sign up for the rewards program, although this is also not as strong as it used to be, but everyone loves a free birthday burger, available to be used the entire month of your birthday. This location has a big parking lot, is close to the freeway entrance and is walking distance from the light rail station. I've eaten here a few times and service is always helpful and friendly. It can be a little bit longer of a wait than some places, but just enjoy some extra fries and go with the flow. It seems like they may be a better dining option for a bigger party than some other places. Just be vocal about your need for more fries, extra sauce and drink refills. They also do a good job of keeping track of substitutions. There is so much good food in this area, but if you need a reliable place to add to your freeway stop offs, this may be your regular stop off.
