Clam strip basket. 8 were taken out but that is all that remained.
Jennifer H.

It has been a few years since I have been here. Came by for a clam strip basket, fish and chips, and 2 milkshakes. Almost $45. My daughter took 8 of the clamstrips and left me with what is in the photo. That was 7 strips of small substance and a bunch of fried dough bits. Totally not worth it for 15 tiny clam strips. I ordered 2 goops and tarter sauce and only got 1. The server was friendly and the shakes were good, but will probably go back to Herfys for these items since Eagans barely gave food for the price they charged. The fish was good. But they are lacking clams in the clam strip basket.

Made it back to Tumwater last Spring to try Eagans. Forgot to review, but was memorable enough to warrant another trip after I dropped the wife @ the Capitol. Big Tom Combo w/Onion Rings & tartar sauce. Pineapple Cream Soda in fountain machine was a great choice. Cool old-time interior; pinball machines, soda decor, and an old dial pay phone (151) 555-1492! Sorry, no pics. I was hungry.

Chili cheese fries with added onions.
Ciera B.

I upped a star this time because, this time our burgers were exactly right and hot, last time neither of our burgers were right. This time I got chili cheese fries and they were delicious and super hot! The only thing and I seriously love this place or else I wouldn't come back but consistently forgets some item from our order and this time they forgot our tots.

A bit pricey but they have well made burgers here. They also have an ac dining area and some old school arcade games. Their staff are really happy and nice. We picked up food to head to the creek but stopped in to use the restroom. We would definitely come back to dine in if we are craving a burger.

Big Tom's "Goop", a tasty concoction of mayo, mustard, and relish

As a Tumwater native growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, Eagan's Big Tom was the place where we went for burgers and fries when our parents talked us into doing some major house project - cleaning the carpets, painting the living room, or reseeding the lawn. Even at the time, my parents knew it wasn't the healthiest of meals to enjoy, but it was a local establishment, the food was always fresh and undeniably tasty, and a take-out meal from there was always a way to get us to lug furniture or paint a ceiling without complaint. Earlier today, in Tumwater for a dental appointment, I decided to indulge myself with a visit to their Tumwater location - my first in well over a decade. I was pleased to find that the burgers are just as fresh and tasty as ever - Thursday's special was the "Little Tom" with tots and a drink for $13, "little" meaning a half-pound of beef with a half-pound of tots, served with their famous gotta have it "Goop" sauce. It was everything I hoped it would be and everything I remembered that it was, which means that I'm very glad I don't live very close to this restaurant as, if I did, I would quickly weigh as much as your average living room sofa. If you're looking for a classic American hamburger with all the fat and grease and char that makes such things so delicious, then you cannot do better than a visit to Big Tom's. And be sure to order it with a side of Goop while you're at it, too. It ain't gourmet but, lord, it's damned tasty!

Who the hell hired these kids? Seriously?!? If you are the owner, and want this business to thrive... get rid of your lazy employees, who can barely annunciate proper English... and ENFORCE A DRESS CODE! I understand that it's a style... but the LAST thing I want to see before I eat, is some kids undergarments hanging freely out of their pants, that are HALFWAY off his ass! I have kids for Pete's sake! My children don't need to see that shit either!

I can only speak for service. They are always helpful. If you get their attention, they help you immediately. If there is a line in the drive-thru, they will get your order ready whole you wait.

We love burger joints like this. This was cute, staff was friendly. There is seating indoors and outdoors. Menu might be self explanatory for regulars but I had no idea. I told the lady what I wanted and she said which burger would match that. Overall, glad we checked out a local spot that has been there since the 40s

If you want a good old fashioned griddle-cooked burger in Tumwater, this is the place. Great onion rigs and a long list of shake flavors.

The food is ok, the workers are so rude and the prices are ridiculous expensive. I don't recommend this place. I think Wendy's is better.

We were in Olympia for a visit to The Evergreen State College and since we were in town, a stop at…read moreState & Central was mandatory. We've eaten here several times over the years, this was the first time we eat dinner here. Fam. Let me tell you, the very reasonable lunch size portions? They're significantly bigger on the dinner menu. Almost disturbingly so Being able to get a selection of interesting regional beers is always a draw, tonight was no exception. And the pretty good lunch menu is expanded for the dinner hour - as well as the portion sizes being expanded. I ordered the fish and chips, my partner ordered the bar steak (which was New York strip), and her daughter ordered the salmon burger with fries. Because it was a special, we also got a giant order of poutine. Despite being in almost at closing, the service was absolutely spectacular. We very nearly had the place to ourselves, so the overall vibe was very homey and welcoming. As noted, the portions were enormous. I opted to finish my fish at the expense of the chips. My partner wound up with a significant take home portion as did her daughter. Couldn't possibly have been happier about our decision to stop in. Since we seem to have a new Greener in the family, I'm sure that we will be in Olympia significantly more frequently. And frankly, I am pretty happy about that, just based on being able to stop in here on the regular again.

Besides having a scrumptious menu, the server at lunch today, Cayla, was amazing. She was…read moreattentive, professional and friendly! I had a turkey, bacon, cheese sandwich and fries. I asked her to box up half as I can never eat a whole one. The ambiance is awesome but be sure to wear your hearing aids if you need them. It's a small place and can get hard to hear when its crowded. Overall though, this place rocks!

Of co course, as fate would have it, my picky eaters order was wrong. Instead of getting the chicken strips they wanted they gave him fish and chips which he hates. Did not discover this until I was home. Service was quick and courteous. I asked for a double Boca, and they kept questioning the decision which is o.k. I guess, however I wish they would use impossible instead as it is better tasting. Bocca is so-so. My double with the gluten free bun was o.k. but small they charged an extra $4.35 for the bun and all I could taste was goop. The double bacon was good and fries were fantastic. Tots were alright. The worst part is their phones DO NOT WORK! NOR THEIR ONLINE ORDERING OR FACE BOOK MESSAGES. I have to literally will have to drive back to tell them their mistake.

The drive up…read morewas always on the funky side and we made it a tradition to stop here for lunch while on the way to the ocean beaches to run the dogs. The dogs eventually lost their enthusiasm for such a long car trip and so that kind of ended our frequent visits here. We used to go to a nearby park to eat our hamburgers and fries. But while we didn't go back for a quite a while Eastside Big Tom's changed quite a bit. They added seating on their premises which is under an open outside roof. And as you wander through this area it's loaded with dinosaur props! There are all sorts of dinosaurs hanging out here while you eat your burger and fries. They have a speaker on inside the open roof with snarling, growling and roaring in the style of what dinosaurs may do. Since they added seating they also added a walk up as well to place your orders in addition to the still existing drive up. Eastside Big Tom's has maintained their five star score just with the fact they made everything so much more funkier that it once was. My favorite things to order here is the cheeseburger, French Fries ( to share as it's a pretty big order) and a Dr. Pepper milkshake. Eastside Big Tom's has even thrown in more motivation to have us be more frequent customers again!

Lots of space as you walk in. This is an order at the counter establishment. Lots of seating for both smaller and larger parties. Several arcade games in the back and what looked to be a chalkboard for kids on the wall. Also looks like maybe a little stage area for live entertainment. Menus are on the table. Lots of items that sound good. We went with an original smash burger, fish sandwich, fries, and onion rings. They came to the table in a decent amount of time. Smash burger was good, no complaints. Fish burger was good as well, big piece of fish. Fries were hand cut, so can't really go wrong. Onion ring portion for price wasnt bad, but the rings themselves were just okay. I can appreciate that the beef used is grass fed and local, as well as the buns being housemade. This would be the exception for the entree prices. Sides are more reasonably priced. Drink prices on the higher side. Food was decent, might come back to try more of the menu. Just didnt really care for the ambiance..
