Luckily, Top Rung was at the top of the list. Top Rung is located in an industrial area in a quiet part of town. Food Top Rung had quite a few beers on tap and offered some pizza options that they made behind the bar. I went with the HDR Hazy Sabro-Tooth Tiger IPA. The beer was served in my favorite type of drinking glasses, which are shaped like beer cans. The beer itself was very cold and tasty. 5/5 Service The bar wasn't too busy, but the staff were still friendly and knowledgeable. I only ordered one drink due to time, but still inquired about buying a glass, which they were sadly out of. 4/5 Ambiance The bar has a fire department theme and is decorated as such. They have ample inside and outside seating and even some board games. Very good vibes. 5/5 Top Rung seems like a brewery on the rise. They have all the ingredients to be very successful. If you are in the area, check them out.

Comfy in a threadbare sort of way, we enjoyed a couple of fairly average burgers with fries as well as two tasty pints of beer, served by a friendly bartender who was kept very busy by an active clientele, at least half of whom were clearly regulars.

And, in a world of corporate-owned bars, it's nice to support a place that's still independent and has been around for decades.

My family of four, wife and two daughters, visited The RAM in Lacey today to celebrate Father's…read moreDay. We have been loyal customers of The RAM since 2019 and regularly visit the Lake Stevens and Marysville locations. We genuinely enjoy the food, atmosphere, and service, which makes this experience particularly disappointing. Upon arrival, we waited approximately 10 minutes to be seated, exactly as the host advised. We ordered drinks and an appetizer, both of which arrived within a reasonable timeframe. From the time we sat down until we received our drinks and appetizer was roughly 15 minutes. After that, however, the experience quickly deteriorated. It took another 15 minutes or more before our server returned to take our entrée orders. The server apologized for the delay, which we appreciated, but unfortunately the delays only became worse. We then waited approximately 45 additional minutes for our main entrées, nobody checked in on our table. By the time the food arrived, our patience had run out and what should have been a special Father's Day meal had become frustrating and exhausting. I immediately asked for the bill and boxes. To make matters worse, not all of our food was delivered at the same time. We continued waiting for our pizza, and when it finally arrived, the center was soggy, undercooked, and literally falling apart. At that point, we chose not to send it back because we simply wanted to leave and salvage what remained of our family's celebration. What was most frustrating was the lack of communication and leadership throughout the entire experience. When I asked why service had been so slow, our server explained that several employees had called out. While staffing shortages can happen and are understandable, the responsibility for managing those situations falls on leadership, not on the frontline staff. The restaurant did removed our appetizer from the bill and provided two burger vouchers, but that does not address the larger issue. Despite obvious service issues throughout the restaurant, no manager ever came to our table to explain the delays, apologize for the experience, or demonstrate any concern for my family who was being affected. The only acknowledgment we received was from our server even though she didn't check on us or give us updates on our food. The real failure here was not the staffing shortage itself--it was the management response to it. If leadership knew they were significantly understaffed, guests should have been informed before being seated or before placing orders. A simple announcement from the host explaining that food service was running substantially behind would have allowed customers to make an informed decision about whether to stay or dine elsewhere. Instead, my family was left waiting without information, while expectations remained unchanged. What made the situation even more confusing was watching a larger party seated after us receive their food, eat, and leave before our entrées were ever served. That only reinforced the perception that the restaurant was not effectively managing its operations during the shift or worse, our family was less important than other families seated there which would be heartbreaking if it were true. This is directed at the leadership team that failed to properly support an obviously understaffed staff and failed to communicate honestly with its customers. And making my family feel very less important than others. I have always enjoyed The RAM and hope this was an isolated incident. However, on one of the busiest dining days of the year, management's lack of preparation, communication, and customer care turned what should have been a memorable Father's Day celebration into a disappointing experience.

Stopped in for Sunday Brunch recently. I'll start with the…read morefood. Man was everything really tasty! I had the Birria Chilaquiles. I'm a sucker for a good chilaquiles, and i love me some birria. So seeing the two combined, I pretty much stopped reading the menu there. And man did it live up to my expectations. Great flavor, really delicious. My wife had the dragon fruit pancakes, she loved it. our granddaughter had the classic breakfast burrito with grilled chicken. I ended up finishing it off for her since it was much larger than she could eat. The chicken had a great flavor, really excellent breakfast burrito. So overall pretty much all of the food we tried was very good, no complaints at all. Now, let's talk about the part that took a couple stars off this one. We were literally the only people in there at the time. The rest of the place was empty. It took almost half an hour to get our drinks and get our order taken. Then it took another half an hour for that food to come out. And when the food did come out, only mine and my wife's arrived. our granddaughter's food was still being made. I understand that part of the order came out of the back kitchen, and then the breakfast burrito came out of the "taco truck" kitchen. That's fine, I get the concept. But if you can't coordinate the communication between the two kitchens so that food arrives at the same time, there's a serious problem. And the fact that it was the child's food that did not arrive was a bigger problem. The children's food should NEVER arrive last. I watched the staff stand there watching World Cup Soccer for a good twenty minutes while ignoring us as we waited for our food, so that was part of the problem. But the communication between the two kitchens is completely broken. The front kitchen did not start making the breakfast burrito until the two dishes that came out of the back kitchen had already arrived. So while our dishes made it to the table, they were cold by the time our granddaughter's burrito arrived, because it would be very rude to eat in front of her so we waited for her food before we started eating. Great flavor does not fix completely broken systems. This place needs to fix the communication issue between the front kitchen and the back kitchen so that orders arrive together and nobody is waiting on their food while others already have theirs.
