👍👍 This is “The Burger” place in Thurston county! Thick juicy burger patty, fresh veggies and soft bun. You know the burger is good when the juice is dipping down onto the fries. OMG the fries are so addicting. And if you are an onion ring nut, this is your new go to spot. People often mention burger, good, fries, great, fresh, burgers, delicious, onion, crispy, area,

    Everything about this place is amazing! Burgers were huge and packed with flavor. Side order of fries were massive, fresh, and crunchy. The philly cheese steak was one of the best I've had. It was loaded with cheese. The employees were all very friendly. Awesome outdoor seating area. I just can't say enough good things about it.

    The philly steak sandwich taste more like a teriyaki sandwich which I'm not a fan of. The burger was good. A Philly steak sandwich meal and two burger meals with a 15% tip cost us almost $65.00. I know not everyone wants to spend that much on a sandwich meal so I'm just putting it out there so you are aware on the price.

    First time taking the family there. People said they enjoyed it. Our cheese burgers were well cooked. Had a nice flavor, and the dipping sauce is delicious. Really enjoyed the crunchy fries. My turkey wrap was very big. It tasted nice. But it needed sauce. It was very dry. Our mozzarella sticks were not cooked enough. The cheese inside was solid, not melted at all. Personally, I feel they are extremely overpriced. We spent $64.00!!! Don't believe we will be back

    Philly Cheesesteak was pretty good. The sauce that is given (mayo with ketchup and brown sugar I think) was delicious. The fries are very crispy, the are breaded before deep fried. Overall a good experience but my stomach hurt afterwards but I think its because I ate all the delicious stuff I probably shouldn't have.

    Great tasting burger. I got the bacon cheeseburger and Jannadean got the California burger. I ❤️ their burgers. They have a great flavor. It's a big burger with generous fries. We had plenty of fries to take home. They warm up great in an air fryer. Service is great and they bring the food out to you with a smile. They have a big menu but I can't stray from the burger.

    One of the most solid and perfectly proportioned burgers I've had in a while. Perfectly charred and very fresh. Fries were fresh and crispy, could've used a little more seasoning but still very good! Awesome little spot and definitely a go to burger spot for when I'm in the area.

    What a delicious surprise! This is my first time eating here. I ordered a California burger and my wife ordered a jalapeno burger. I say without any exaggerations that this is the best burger ive had in all of puget sound. Compliments to the Oriental cook. We watched him work with such skill and diligence. Ive tried pretty much every top rated burger place in the area, and this one takes the trophy. The ingredients were super fresh and crisp. The meat was tender and high quality. These were not commercial frozen burger patties. They were definitely handmade patties. To conclude this review, These burgers are delightful! The french fries were also the best french fries ive tasted anywhere! Yes, you read that right. Best french fries ever! Ps. This is where I will go for all future burger cravings.

    Good was amazing. Battered fries were hot and super crisp. Onion rings were really good as well. Took the family and got there just after 5pm. We were the only ones there when we got there but before we were done placing our order there was a line out the door. Staff were very nice and greeted us as we entered. We got 4 meals that consisted of the jalapeño burger, mushroom and provolone burger, the California chicken wrap, and the 3 peice chicken strip basket. All 4 meals came with fries and drinks and we got a side of onion rings and jalapeño poppers. Total was $70.34 for everything. Wife and kids were only able to eat half their meal. Flavors were really good. Better than most burger places in town. Will definitely be going back! Highly recommend.

    Never disappoints, best burger in town, brioche buns, fresh veggies lettuce and onions. Superb fries crispy outside and onion rings. Beats 5 guys hands down. I hear the fish and chips are good but honestly, the burgers are so good I always get one. Value, better than red Robin. It's a burger shop, order at the counter, they have daily specials. Closed on Sundays, burgers are so good they deserve the day off.

    Be prepared to wait a bit for your food or stand in line during lunch/dinner rushes, but it’s worth it! Burgers are great, the Onion Rings are killer. Not much room for dine-in but that’s okay. Owners are friendly too and always smiling. IMO Eagan’s burgers are better, but RWB’s sides & appetizers are superior!

    Best burgers in town! We tried the hamburgers and it was great! Fries are nice, fresh, and crispy on the outside. Friendly people! Love supporting this local business whenever we’re in town.

    Great place. Everything always taste good. They have the good fries with flaky breading. Canned sodas as well as fountain. The drink cases had good choices all around. Posting a menu pic so you know what to order. I had the chicken strips

    First of all pretty clean place we came for the burger special (Tues bacon cheeseburger)sux it was 8.95 just for the burger not much of a special but we got that with the meal which brought it up to almost $13 so could be better however the bigger was great cooked perfect and tasty they do advertise leaf lettuce and Romain blend but there was only iceberg not a big deal but there is a sign boasting about the better lettuce so. But aside frome that burger was great maybe more bacon for the price and the fries were awesome crisp and a good portion could do with removing the random dont touch signs if you don't want people using or touching then get rid of it 😂 over all a good experience thank you for great food and sevice

    We were out for a drive and the sign Philly Cheese Steak! We were very excited. Had to go around d the block a couple of times to figure out how to get into the parking lot. It was worth the effort. excellent sandwich. With onion, meat, provolone cheese melted, gooey, yummy. The onion rings were Hugh and crispy. The onion rings were tender and fresh. Would come again.

    The ultimate burger spot in the Olympia area. Nothing compares. Better than Five Guys, faster and cheaper. Delectable charbroiled burgers, with quality fresh toppings. Healthy size patty cooked perfectly. The battered fries are pretty amazing. Shakes are awesome here too.

  • 5/5 Steve F. 2 years ago on Google
    Burger was delicious, with thick patties. We watched the grill flame up as they made it, that's how you know it's delicious and not at all healthy. The fish was crispy on the outside, flaky and soft on the inside, with crispy French fries beneath. Generous portion sizes gave good value for the money. I'll be going back here.

  • 4/5 Travis G. 2 years ago on Google
    A little pricey for what we got, but what we got was still good. The fish was large for fish and chips. The fries are good. My folks liked their wrap and my turkey sandwich was yummy, but simple. Fountain drinks are Pepsi so that counts against them for my family:) they have a good selection of food.

  • 1/5 John B. 2 years ago on Google
    Well, I needed a place to eat for lunch and I decided to give this place a try. A co-worker recommended it and said it was good. It's was Not. The fries were cooked way to long, they were Crunchy, but not much else. The Hamburger was not good at all. The beef had no taste. The Hamburger had an odd overall taste, like grease that's been used to much. I could not finish it. I'm job is from the Kent area and the hamburger joints around that area are much much better. When my job has me working down here again, I'm not returning to this place.

  • 4/5 Joshua B. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was pretty good except the chunky, slightly browned iceberg lettuce that was used. The price point is typical for this type of local burger joint in our region. Figure on spending 15$/adult for a burger, fries, and a drink and about 11$ for the same for kids including tax. The fries are done right. The ketchup service is a total COVID copout; squeeze multiple packets into a cup yourself. It could be done better. The burger itself was well made with great ingredients (except that bad iceberg). I think I would go back, but I wouldn't stop looking either. We're new to the area.

    So I usually love red wagon but today is an exception. Restaurant is having ventilation issues making unpleasant to be inside. My onion rings are totally overcooked. The sandwich seems smaller than normal and there is missing order of fries. And also got a burger that is burnt on one side. Get it together please.

  • 4/5 Julie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great! It's a bit pricey but for special treat every now and then it's worth it. Everything was fresh, and hot. The fries and onion rings come in large baskets that are definitely enough for two or three. The shakes are so creamy and thick. This is the place to go if you want a good smash burger

  • 1/5 Chase M. 9 months ago on Google
    They changed how they cook everything I got the fries are completely different and ok but no where near what they were all of the vegetables are raw when they are supposed to be sautéed and the pineapple was just warmed not grilled at all and the burger was charred I used love this place it is so expensive for less then backyard bbq

  • 5/5 Mike S. 9 months ago on Google
    Noticed they were using an old Quizno's open/close sign, so I knew I was in for a ride - in a great way. No line, instant service. Prompt food delivery (I didn't have to go get my food at the counter) and while I was eating, there was a line that developed but it disappeared just as fast as it formed. "Atmosphere"? I know why I'm here - there was a big TV playing Diners, Drivers and dives that customers (or the staff) could take a gander at while I waited about 5 minutes for my food. Finally got my Bleu cheese and bacon burger and fries and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and not your standard Aramark restaurant faire. 1/3 lb advertised burger was on point. The bun was, to the shock of absolutely no one, fresh as hell. Fries were specifically not mass produced. I don't think they were in-house fresh, but it was a really good fry. Bid myself adieu and then later decided to write about it, which is where we are in the story. TL,Dr - it was really good. I'd definitely recommend for anyone looking for a superior sit-down burger ($20 for a meal) for not much more than jack-in-the-box prices ($15 for a meal).

    Had a burger once and then came back for a philly, both were amazing. Better than anything I've found in town. Prices are higher, but worth it. Parking... yeah that sucks, you have to come in from the west or enter from the south through the gas station and then good luck on finding a spot.

  • 5/5 derick f. 1 year ago on Google
    Really solid food all around If you want a good burger joint experience this is a great choice.

  • 5/5 Lisa L. 1 year ago on Google
    They are friendly, the food is always really good. You will wait a bit because this is not a fast food place. Every time I walk into their restaurant my mouth waters from the delicious smell of burgers grilling. Their fries are always fresh and hot and have a crispy outside that I love. The milk shakes are thick and full of flavor. They serve other foods besides just burgers too. I recommend you go to Red Wagon Burger if you've never been.

  • 5/5 Azurae C. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow....walked in on the hottest Saturday afternoon and found the place empty..but still blown away by how fast and friendly the service was. I ordered the daybreak burger and was blown away by the quality of beef and the absolute deliciousness I was experiencing. My husband enjoyed a turkey bacon ranch wrap. Ask for their fry sauce, it rivals in n outs!! I ate every last bite. Super tasty! 👌

  • 5/5 Jannadean W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great burgers, easy access, good prices. I got the bacon California burger, huge burger, took me 3 bites before I got to the actual beef patty! The patty was perfect, little pink. Good flavor, will order again! Great location not busy and support local.

  • 5/5 Matthew G. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious fast food! Worth trying the fish and chips! There is some outdoor seating but it's next to an intersection so not the best ambiance. Still great prices, friendly staff and delicious food!
