This was recommended by a friend. As a foodie a lot of restaurants have been a miss for me in Tacoma so far. THIS IS NOT ONE of them! Amazing smash burgers to say the least. It was well cooked and had quality ingredients. The fries tasted fresh, I just wish they were a bit more generous considering the price. The atmosphere is perfect for after work meet ups, good place for conversation over drinks, and even a chill bar. It gives the feel of a rustic ski lodge.The bartender has a vibrant energy and is extremely welcoming/ accommodating. He recommended a drink based off of my likings. He was spot on. If everyone there had his energy the service would have been a 10/10, 8/10 is good still. Over all extremely impressed and would absolutely recommend!!

The resturaunt has now opened inside and saves the trip outdoors to the food truck. I had the Pastrami Smash Burger which is amazing. Service was quick and the environment is always enjoyable.

Brother, I just bit into to this Mushroom swiss burger and not trying to exaggerate but has to be the best mushroom swiss I have had in a while and that is my style of burger the freshness hits the lips and beard just a little harder… The pastrami fries are amazing ordered for pick up and does not come cold food was still piping hot when I got home. No photo because I did not put down…

This place has become one of my favorites. Great selection of local (pnw) beers, sours and ciders, delicious food, and friendly staff. They support veterans/military, educators and first responders which is super cool. I love sitting by the fireplace in the comfy chairs and couches. They host cool events -comedy and music- and super the community. Definitely a place to check out.

Nice taproom with an outdoor area that is dog friendly. The smash burgers were delicious and so was the fries.

Had lunch here while attending an event right outside over the weekend and this place was so good! Great atmosphere, clean and well organized restaurant, quality food and friendly staff. Since it was our first time here, the server who took helped us with our order so friendly and patient with us. You could tell she really enjoys her job and had a positive attitude the entire time. We appreciated the recommendations she provided and loved that the place does military/first responders discount. Our food took a little while to get to us, but considering how busy they were that day we weren't bothered. She brought out our meals, thanked us for being patient and asked if we needed anything; again, very kind and professional! Our meals were flavorful and nicely portioned, we both couldn't finish everything on our plates surprisingly. We'd love to return here in the future, definitely recommend this place!
