    Dry Deluxe Cheeseburger
    Anne C.

    This was by far the most disappointing meal I've had from a burger place in a long time. If you were expecting fast, please don't come here. It took 30 minutes AFTER they took our order to get our food with no communication as to why it was taking so long. We'd ordered a regular cheeseburger, a deluxe cheeseburger (no pickle) and a Big Tom. When we got home (approx. 10m later) we found that the burgers were overcooked (next to burnt) and the fries tasted as if they'd been baked or microwaved. I've had good burgers from them in the past so this is EXTREMELY disappointing. I can't speak as to why but the quality has definitely gone down hill.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 ended up calling (twice - nobody answered the first time) and got an order over the phone. I headed down there and the first thing I noticed is that the building needs work. There is a tin roof siding kind of thing along the entire front of the restaurant. It is old. Paint coming off. Not a good sign. Went into the bar as I didn't realize there was a separate bar and restaurant. I didn't see any signs showing that. I was directed by a bartender to go to the other side to get my order. A very nice blonde girl was there and went to bagging my order getting my chowder and everything else which took 5 to 6 minutes. It was over $64 with the tip. Got back to my hotel room to try my french dip. Problem is, they forgot the dip - no au jus. It is just warm roast beef in a bun. No flavor. Nothing to it. I couldn't even finish a half of it. The tater tots were bad. Half were soggy. No seasoning. No flavor. Not worth eating. The pickle was good, but wrapped in a napkin kind of thing that made my hands messy trying to unwrap it to eat it. Next up was the clam chowder. It was yellow, so I assumed it was a corn chowder. It is neither. It smells like a ham chowder and tastes like a vegetable/potato soup. It is very watery and had big pieces of celery and other veggies. I have no idea what this is supposed to be, but it is not a clam chowder. Finally, I got chipotle wings. They appear to have been a dry rub. I had hoped they either would come with a chipotle sauce to dip them in or they would be sauced wings. They were neither. Being a dry rub, they had a hint of chipotle flavor, but basically tasted like bare wings. My wife got a pasta bread thing of some kind. She had 4 bites and that was it. $64 for about 10 total bites of food. I hate to waste that money and throw away so much food, but I'd be doing homeless people a disservice by giving it away. To recap, building is old looking. Forgot an important part of one of the dishes. Soggy, unseasoned tots. Watery, "clam" chowder that that is really a potato/veggie soup, wings with almost no flavor - may as well have just asked for bare, unseasoned wings. Wasted $64.

The menu was limited. It is pub grub. Went with a smash burger fries and onion rings. Food came out and it looked great. The fries and onion rings were lukewarm warm to cold. I have been told many times that their smash burger is the best burger in Olympia. I don't see it. It's the 2nd time I have had it, the spices are stronger than expected. Edges of my patty were burnt, and it relies on the sauce to make up for taste. It's not a bad burger, but it isn't amazing either. My wife was not impressed at all, and told me she won't be needing to go back. For me, I won't be disappointed if I end up back at this place. But I also won't be making the choice to go back. Maybe for beers...
