I finally got to try Katsu Burger with my son earlier this week (weekday afternoon), and I can…read moreconfidently say it lived up to the hype! When I initially walked in, it wasn't too busy, but it filled up quickly while I was still figuring out how to order. They use a kiosk system where you choose dine-in or takeout, and it's nicr that each menu item had photos and ingredient descriptions so it made it way easier to decide, especially for our first visit. The space itself is small and quaint with a couple tables, but full of lovely art. There's lots of cute anime and Japanese-themed decor, including figurines, plushies, and artwork, giving the place such a cozy, cutesy aesthetic. I also noticed they might be hiring, based on the sign at the entrance. I came here because my cousin-in-law (who lives in upper Washington) mentioned the place, and I needed a redemption meal after being disappointed by another chicken spot recently. Katsu Burger definitely delivered! The burgers here aren't your typical American-style burgers. They don't taste as greasy and sub cabbage instead of lettuce, similar to garnish for a tonkatsu plate. And surprisingly, the photos on the kiosk actually match what you get (no false advertising here!). The employee behind the counter was super kind and helped guide us through the ordering process. I don't think they take cash so maybe that's why orders are placed through the kiosk. For food: My son ordered the Tokyo Tower burger as-is, and I tried the Umami Burger with light cabbage (not a huge fan of crunchy water veggies like lettuce/cabbage/etc.). Both were AMAZING. I have heard of tonkatsu but I had no idea what beef katsu was before this. Thought it was just a regular beef patty, but wow.. it was crispy, flavorful, and just overall delicious. We ordered takeout and didn't even get home for about 30 minutes, but the food was still warm enough to enjoy without reheating. Portion-wise, my burger was perfect: filling but manageable (i think i made the right choice with light cabbage). My son's Tokyo Tower was massive (almost too big for him to handle xD), but we both agreed everything tasted incredible. I was tempted to try a bento box, but I knew I wouldn't finish it if I was already ordering a katsu burger. Next time though! My son already has his eye on the enormous Mt. Fuji burger, so we'll definitely be back. Parking is decent, though it can get busy during the day since it's near a gym and other businesses. Overall, if you're in the Lacey area, you HAVE to try this Katsu Burger at least once. It looks like they have about 8 other locations too in the other towns so if you're not in Lacey, there still might be one nearby you. The burgers are absolutely the star of the show :) I'm already looking forward to our next visit!

We love Vans! Their…read moreshakes and onion rings are my personal favorite I'd eat 5 orders of onions rings on a solo mission, for science of course.... Burgers and fries are also excellent. I love that they will do an order of partial fries and onion rings so you get the best of both worlds. It's a lot of food for a good price and the people who work there are always awesome. 10/10 summer time favorite!!

*Our family lives near Big Toms so my review is really a comparison…read more I've always heard of Vans but never tried it until the other week. The food was fine, I liked their fry sauce, and on the day I went the line wasn't long. However I found the portions to be a bit small for the price and there was an error checking me out (which only I caught) where I had to be refunded and recharged. For how out of the way Vans is for our family I don't think we'll be frequent customers but I'm glad we got to try it.

It just isn't very good anymore…read more I just paid $23 for an extremely greasy and peppery burger that I had to throw away because it made me nauseous. I thought my side of onion rings would be good, but nope. They were either fried to a crisp or soft and squishy. Sadly, I won't be back.

The service was great and the food was served in a timely fashion. Definitely treat yourself and stop in for great food.

This is not a sit-down restaurant, but for a busy person like me, it was just what I needed. The food came out piping hot and in a jiffy. I got the garlic jalapeño dipping sauce instead of plain old tartar, which the kind gentleman behind the counter recommended, and now I 10/10 it too. I am on crutches right now, and since I had a short wait for the food, they kindly suggested that I wait in the car comfortably and brought my food and drink that I ordered right out to me. What awesome, top-tier service!

I've been a patron of Kozy's for several years now. I had heard there'd been a change in ownership…read moreand that it's not what it used to be. I went there on lunch today to find out for myself. They had one guy taking orders who seemed to be the owner and one guy working the grill. When I arrived there were already a few people waiting which isn't uncommon. I placed my order for, A double deluxe. Pretty straightforward. Double cheeseburger really. People continued to arrive as we all continued to wait. 40 minutes later I got my burger. Just finished it. Shockingly, it was quite good. Tasted like it always has so I was stoked. That being said, the service was problematic to say the least. Their cashier who I can only assume is the owner was bickering with the guy on the grill and publicly. They were arguing over workflow on what should be prioritized, what he needed, etc. They did this in front of us. There must have been at least six of us waiting inside and out. The lack of professionalism was disappointing. The food was still good but I don't think I'll go back. There are other places who make a good burger like Tom's, or Vans!

Truly some of the best food in Olympia!…read more We came here before hitting the road back home. We heard great things about their breakfast/brunch! AND it's until 2pm too that they serve it.

Everything came pretty fast so that was nice! Good place, lots of room to sit and they have a bar with a tv so good to watch anything like a game and hang out. My bf had a scramble of theirs (forgot the name!) but that was pretty good too! We loved it here and would love to try their lunch/dinner menu too!

My husband ordered an old school breakfast and said he enjoyed the taste of the chicken fried steak. I ordered the pa's plate. The breakfast gravy had an unpleasant off putting taste to me. Not sure if it was sage or possibly some other seasoning, but it was definitely packaged. I really tried, but couldn't even eat half of one half of a biscuit. The iced tea and the ice water were good. I know it's June, but the amount of flies buzzing around were nauseatingly gross. The bathroom could definitely use a deep clean as well. $45 for this Yelp adventure. We won't step foot in there again.
