Great food truck serving fusion indian food. I finally got to try Akashic after so many trips in…read moreOlympia. 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.

We ordered 2 Big Pete's Cheeseburgers, 2 orders of Frings (1/2 French fries with some Orion rings) and a chocolate milkshake. Burgers were cooked to perfection and everything tasted so fresh. The fries weren't bad but I also wasn't mind blown. The chocolate milkshake was delicious. It was perfectly thick, silky and had the perfect chocolaty taste. Driving up to the drive thru window we were greeted very nicely by their cashier. Very sweet and polite. Something this simple always adds to the experience. The line was long but moved pretty quickly, regardless it was worth the wait! We recommend this burger joint and will obviously be returning customers.

Love the flavor profiles of the arugula, aioli, w/ the layers of protein & veg. Best quality sandwich in town, hands down.

I grilled up some peppers and onions to go with the sweet Italian sausage, and that was really good as well. I will be getting my Thanksgiving bird from them. The owner Brian, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and even gave me some local recs. They have a good selection of cheeses and also some high quality dry goods as well. I came to get sandwiches, but I'll be back to stock up on much more. Super stoked I found this place.

You order and then pick up your food at the counter and seat yourself at this casual spot. The menu, it seems, has nothing bad. We had the tahini bowl, the arugula and beet salad, and the mac and cheese bowl with soy curls. The tahini bowl is the platonic ideal of a grain bowl and is so delicious and well balanced in its flavors that you don't even notice that it's really healthy for you. The mac and cheese bowl is more indulgent but still doesn't make you feel like a bowling ball. Their vegan cheese is impressively creamy. Our lunch buddies had the almost famous bowl and the big dad salad and loved their food. Probably most impressive of all were the desserts. Vegan dessert is difficult to do well, but their cheesecake and gochujang cookie were so good, they would beat out a lot of dairy-containing desserts.

I received no refund. I am on disability and this was to be the ONE time I could enjoy a bit of a splurge for food as it was to be a summer holiday treat. Worst $20 I have ever spent.

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!

They had one guy taking orders who seemed to be the owner and one guy working the grill. When I arrived there were already a few people waiting which isn't uncommon. I placed my order for, A double deluxe. Pretty straightforward. Double cheeseburger really. People continued to arrive as we all continued to wait. 40 minutes later I got my burger. Just finished it. Shockingly, it was quite good. Tasted like it always has so I was stoked. That being said, the service was problematic to say the least. Their cashier who I can only assume is the owner was bickering with the guy on the grill and publicly. They were arguing over workflow on what should be prioritized, what he needed, etc. They did this in front of us. There must have been at least six of us waiting inside and out. The lack of professionalism was disappointing. The food was still good but I don't think I'll go back. There are other places who make a good burger like Tom's, or Vans!

This is not a sit-down restaurant, but for a busy person like me, it was just what I needed. The food came out piping hot and in a jiffy.

I am on crutches right now, and since I had a short wait for the food, they kindly suggested that I wait in the car comfortably and brought my food and drink that I ordered right out to me. What awesome, top-tier service!
