We walked in not really in the mood for pizza or seafood and honestly didn't expect much--but we were seriously impressed with the food. Even though they were busy, the young busser went above and beyond and really made the experience stand out. Great service goes a long way. Thanks again, man--we'll definitely be back! read more

The bahn mi burger is delicious! The rest are great too. Waffle fries with truffle parm is a great side. Staff is friendly! It's a 4.5 stars for me once they bring back the calamari. We tried the Nashville wings - they have a korean gochujang twist - it's kinda nasty. Was gonna take them to go because my wife at 1 and a half, i took a bite and left the box. read more

The food was okay. Hamburger meat was good but the bun was dry and sauce was bland. My burger was a blue cheese with bacon but the blue cheese was mostly absent. Too bad. The regular fries were over salted and the truffle fries were really not good. Seemed like flavored powder. I was disappointed. The shake was overly sweet. I only tasted the chocolate and peanut butter and banana. Of course, that is very tasty but overly sweet and the ice cream seemed not even to exist. Everything is expensive but that would be fine if the food was exceptional but that was just not the case. The service was very friendly and good. Kudos to the staff. The space is huge. It is attractive and the noise level is pretty good for the number of people in there. High ceilings help. One problem with the number of people though is there are only two unisex toilets available and my wait time was ten minutes. I may have gotten unlucky with my timing but it seems like two larger restrooms plus the single unisex bathrooms would be in order for over a hundred people. read more

Had a great experience! We went during the week so it wasn't as busy. Regardless, our service was excellent and our food was delicious. In my opinion the food prices are reasonable but the whiskey prices are a tad high. Very good whiskey though! The bar is mind blowing - I've never seen so many whiskeys in one place (or so high a ladder is needed to reach some). Stack is a great place to grab a burger before or after a movie or just walking around Point Ruston! Would recommend read more

We stopped in for dinner before our movie. At the door, I noticed a sign that advertised a free starter (with purchase of an entree) if you showed your movie tickets! It was only posted at the door, as far as I could see, so pay attention and read people!!! You gotta love a freebie! Pork Belly Sliders - thick pieces of pork belly, seasoned well. Nice cole slaw mix on top, kind of mimics the radish and carrots you would find on a traditional banh mi sandwich. Slider Sampler Combo - 571, Poutine and Banh Mi. A great deal if you want to try out more than one of their delicious options. Comes with a salad or fries and a shake or a beer. Best bang for your buck IMO. Burger Dip - decent size, yummy au jus! We subbed fries for onion rings and only got 3. Granted, they were pretty big, but that could be a downside for some people. Overall, it was a great spot to hit if you're in the mood for a good burger. Plenty of seating for families or just grab a spot up at the bar. I would definitely come back! read more

Good burgers, great appetizers, and boozy milkshakes- what more could you ask for? We had been wanting to try Stack 571 for a while now and it did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly as well. Highly recommend stopping in to Stacks the next time you're craving a good bite. read more

Stopped here for a quick dinner on a Thursday evening, it was decently busy but not packed. The food arrived much quicker than I expected it to and tasted great. I tried the Sea Dog (essentially a hotdog-style fish sandwich) which was fresh and piping hot. The sage margarita was refreshing in the summer weather. I'm sure this place gets packed on the weekends (it's right by the theater and parking garage), but it would make for a perfect pre/post-movie stop. read more

This place use to be a lot better. Sat in the bar before going to a movie next door. The bartender was doing everything while her co workers practically did nothing. Was sad to watch. Sliders were mid but the Gorgonzola waffle fries were delicious. Restaurant is pretty expensive for what it is but I guess that's what you get being on the waterfront. read more

My wife and I stopped in after a walk on Ruston point on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated immediately. We ordered a Burger Dip and a BLT Chop Chop to share. Each dish came with an extra plate, and the dip came with two dipping bowls. And no charge to split the meals! Excellent service, good venue, great food. read more

One of my favorite spots for happy hour in Tacoma! Standout dishes off the happy hour are the Gorgonzola Waffles Fries jacked up and the Cheese Burger Tacos. They also have lots of seating so we haven't had to wait for a table yet! They keep this place quite clean even though it's always busy when we come. Definitely try them out! read more

We were walking outside and smelled bacon! It definitely attracted us to go in. My husband really like the whiskey cocktail, sadly I forgot the name. But it's very Smokey!! And there's smoke inside when they bring it to him. Also It's very smooth. Other than that, the only thing I like is the tempura oyster mushrooms!!!! They have 3 different sauces and they have different flavors. I love that they asked do I have any allergies because one of the sauce can cause bad allergies. The wings were VERY DRY in my opinion, the meat kind of taste like a jerky and it's hard to chew. Not recommended! The chicken didn't taste fresh, and blend. Felt like they use the sauce to cover the non freshness of the chicken. The burger was okay, nothing surprising! read more

Their unique smells fill the air as you are walking up to the restaurant and the ambiance was invitingly friendly for all types of guests. The service received was friendly and professional. The food and drins were just as amazing: both burgers were juicy with tastes of quality ingredients and skilled cooking, and oud choice of beverages made for a great pairing. Highly recommend for all types of guests and occasions. read more

My fiancé and I walked in and it took a bit to be greeted from the jump. We were told to take a seat and that they will be right with us. Many workers were walking by while we were waiting to be seated, and not one looked our way. After 5-10 mins a group of three walked in behind us and they were immediately greeted and taken back to a table. After seeing this we both stood up and left. My first experience here and at this point I have no plans on going back. read more

Choose Stack 571 for an adult night out with my cousins! I loved the idea of the new burger sampler that was on the menu. They had a variety of burgers to choose from so having the option to order a sampler and choose 3 different burgers was an amazing opportunity. My favorite burger hands down was the Bahi Mi burger. We sat at the bar and the service provided from both bartenders was excellent and they were very personable and joining in our conversation about what bar we wanted to go after and helped with ideas. I enjoyed every moment at Stack 571 and happy we have this burger restaurant close to home! Thank you!! read more

This was a great place to enjoy a sunny afternoon. They validate parking which was such a great deal. The food was delicious: the burgers were cooked perfectly and the shakes were a big hit! We had driven up from Oregon and can't wait to return to try some of their amazing drinks! What a selection! The manager was super helpful in addressing my son's severe allergies too. read more

I love Happy hours, and Stack has a great one. Love their smothered fries, slider of the day. Trying fun flight specials each day. Service is always excellent. Remember to register your car if you are parked in the garage. Point Ruston has such a fun vibe. read more

We came here for the "Whiskey" in the name so no food review here but I can speak to the wonderful and vast collection of Bourbon available. A few of my favorites were in the rotation but was a fan of the Larceny Barrel Proof. I generally like Barrel Proof profiles but Larceny makes an excellent selection. Besides the Bourbon selection, the service was great too. I can always appreciate a server who pays attention to you without pestering you. We were very fortunate to have an overall good experience plus parking was validated so you can't be mad at that. I want to come back to try the food (besides the dessert I received for it being my birthday). If you're looking for a place that has a vast selection of Bourbon and you're in the area, I would definitely recommend swinging by and giving it a shot. read more

Oh man, this place had great burgers! Really liked the location and the atmosphere. The only negative thing was the poor welcome and slow service. But would visit again. read more

I was excited to eat here since I have seen it many times while walking Ruston Way. My friend and I went there on a beautiful spring Monday for lunch. There were tons of people out walking, riding bikes, playing with children since it was many kids' spring break. The patio was only half full so I asked for an outdoor table, I was told 30 minute wait. So, I opted for the first available. We had a table inside and it was a long time until a server took our order. The prices seemed expensive but it IS Ruston Way, so I thought the food and ambiance would be worth it. Over 50 minutes later after ordering our burgers came out and were mediocre. I had the bahn mi burger, it did have the bahn mi flavors but was lackluster. We were so hungry and ate these up quick! I expected at least good service. Maybe they were understaffed, I would think they would staff well a spring break day with the best weather all year...I won't be returning. read more

I had low expectations due to the other reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised (more like relieved). We came in on a Wednesday afternoon-- so they were slow despite for being happy hour. We were satisfied with our burgers and fries. Spent a little extra for Parmesan truffle waffle fries and it was worth it! The cocktails were just ok-- but the price was surprisingly less compared in Seattle/Bellevue. The food cost is definitely steep. It's about $20 per meal. I ordered from the combo sliders and I thought that was the best deal from all the menu. It was a great experience overall and I won't hesitate to try the franchise again. read more

We've been going here since they've opened. They have great service and servers, great bartenders. I am never absolutely wild about their food. Sometimes it's under seasoned. Sometimes bland. Sometimes certain things are overcooked. But we keep going back - it's incredibly convenient right next to the movie theater, and we get $100 gift cards for $80 at Costco. Their greek burger I've had a taste of, from a friend's burger and I am planning on trying that myself next time. read more

Service is good, I have eaten here 4 times, and the food is just ok. Hamburgers are basic. Fries are good, sausces are good. Son had the chicken sandwiche and was less than impressed he stated they just put bba sauce on the me a. Great for get to get hers and families. read more

What a lame place. I have walked by many times on my way to Wild fin and finally dropped in for happy hour. They offer a daily creative slider and I was curious about the Bahn mi version, so Monday was Bahn mi day. Upon ordering the sliders I was told they had no slider buns... lol that's the signature thing at HH, I was told I could order the full priced larger size, $21 or so. I just wanted HH to check this place out. I substituted the taco cheese burger, so greasy that oil was dripping off and pooling in my plate, when I got home I took some Lipitor... never again. I also ordered the crispy cauliflower and expected a roasted seasoned product, received a battered deep fried greasy presentation...more Lipitor needed. I also order a flight of Rye whiskeys, then was told that one of the specified whiskeys was unavailable to they just used something else. The wait staff was ambivalent to my presence and spent lots of time talking amongst themselves. I have no idea why anyone goes here. read more

Burgers joints shouldn't have an overwhelming smell of cleaning products, they should smell like burgers-especially when the open kitchen is literally at the front door. Managers shouldn't be visibly upset on the phone with an employee who is running late, they should be picking up the slack and running food. They shouldn't be telling customers there is a 30 minute wait TO SIT AT THE BAR THAT'S OPEN. I've heard the food is good and the whisky selection is pretty decent, but didn't get to try it because we didn't have 30 minutes to wait. Will update my review if I ever go back. read more

Great food and service. Convenient location adjacent to the theatres and shops on Ruston Way.

For starters- I was nervous to try this place based on the reviews.. and honestly I probably wouldn't have if I didn't have a gift card. HOWEVER I'm glad we gave it a shot. My margarita was sooo refreshing, my husband ordered the burger dip with truffle fries and loved it, I had the chop chop salad and it was delicious. My only critique is the bacon - it was funky fake stuff but other than that, our service was great and everything was yummy. read more

I've walked past this restaurant countless times but never stopped in, mostly because I'm not a big fan of hamburgers. However, I had friends visiting from out of town, and they were eager to try it--so we gave it a shot. Our server, Spencer was absolutely awesome. Despite being the only server on the floor and juggling several tables at once, he remained friendly, polite, and impressively attentive throughout our meal. His upbeat attitude and professionalism truly stood out and made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. The Burgers were great and cooked well. Even as someone who isn't typically excited about burger spots, I left pleasantly surprised. Great service can make all the difference--and in this case, it certainly did. read more

Went to dinner on a Tuesday night at around 8:00. Our party of 6 was able to walk in and get a table. They have a variety of burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, whiskey flights, beers, etc. We ordered 2 burgers, 2 sandwiches and I had a small salad. The service was just okay. She didn't come around too often to check on us. I asked her about parking and she told me to go to the iPad at the entrance for it. When we paid our bill and went to the IPad, we were supposed to check in on it with our license plate at the beginning of the meal, not at the end! The waitress could've told us that when I asked about it. I called her over to the iPad and she told us we were supposed to do it at the beginning of our meal and we might have a ticket on our car. She acted like it wasn't a big deal but who wants a ticket?! That brought this review down a couple stars. The food was good, my small salad was delicious but my girls had a hard time eating the sandwich as it was too large. She ended up taking it apart to eat. My husband enjoyed the whiskey flight and my daughter enjoyed her beer. The dining experience was good until the end when we did the parking check in thing. Luckily, we didn't have a ticket on our car. That would've been a big fat bummer but I feel like the anxiety was 100% avoidable if she told me about checking in when I asked her about it. read more

Saturday lunch with friends - great food (loved the option of the Shake of the Month - Pumpkin!) and a fun pub environment. Would recommend! Would have given the experience 5 stars, but the customer service didn't stand up to out previous experiences. Our server was less attentive than others have been, was confused about what table ordered what food, seemed ready for us to leave (brought the check without asking if we would like anything else/dessert). Prior customer service was exemplary. read more

Really nice vibe as soon as you walk in. Just FYI, this is not your every day burger joint. Little spendy if it was. These burgers are seriously elevated. They have a peanut butter and jelly burger! Not going to lie, I had to be seriously coaxed/pushed into trying it. It was amazing! The Banh Mi burger that is my favorite so far. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED getting the flight of sliders first so you can try more flavors at once. Great whiskey drinks as well. Definitely worth a bit of a drive to try out read more

5 stars! Erika is an awesome bartender at Stack 571 and an enjoyable part of every visit. From the moment I walk in, she greets me with a genuine smile and warmth that instantly makes the place feel like home. She remembers my name, knows I'm an IPA guy, and often has my favorite on tap ready before I even sit down. She'll ask how my week is going, actually listen to the answer, and share a quick laugh or story that turns a regular happy hour into something I genuinely look forward to. What sets Erika apart is how thoughtful and attentive she is without ever hovering. She checks in just enough to make sure I'm taken care of--whether it's recommending a new brew I end up loving or making sure my food order is exactly right--then gives me space to relax. Every interaction feels personal, never rushed, and always kind. Stack 571 is lucky to have her. Erika doesn't just serve drinks; she creates the kind of welcoming, caring experience that keeps customers coming back. I can't say enough good things--she's a true asset and the main reason this spot is my go-to. If you're lucky enough to sit at her bar, you'll leave happier than when you arrived. Highly recommend! read more

Went here on a Wednesday night and was seated right away. The server explained the parking validation as it was our first time here and it was great as that is taken off the bill at the end. The bartender was our actual server since we sat at the bar. We ordered a whiskey sour and it was good. Started off with some loco moco fries and that was amazing! We both ordered the sliders combo as it comes with salad or fries, but we opted for salad and also a milkshake or beer. Which we got the beer. Sliders were great, especially the pb&j as it was an interesting combination. The inside of the restaurant was clean and I love how they have the chalk board with burger of the month. Overall experience was great! Will have to definitely come back again! read more

The food is good, very yummy, but the service on the other hand is not so great. No one welcomed us in or really checked on us during our meal. Nobody said thanks for coming in or have a good day on our way out either, and we passed the manager and 3 staff members. Drinks took 15 minutes to get to us even though there were only two other tables in the entire building. The food did come out fast which was a plus. Our sever got us what we needed but just wasn't very friendly. If I'm gonna spend $20 on a burger the least they can do is give us a smile. read more

Stopped in for our first time on a warm weekday afternoon. We had a group of 8 and were sat in 15 minutes. Food: We all ordered burgers. We had the 571 burger, PB&J burger, blue cheese burger, and even the kids burger. We tried them all and in summary they are not that great. They were just an overpriced standard hamburger. The burgers were even on the dry side and didn't have a ton of flavor. Fries are definitely on point though with a really tasty aioli sauce. Service: waiter was always around when you needed him but was also rude. Definitely could use some better customer service. Ambiance: Honestly I would have preferred to sit outside because it was super hot inside. They had these little fans blowing that just blew warm air at you. It's way too hot in there on a nice day. Summary: while looking for a great new place to try on Ruston Point... keep walking past 571 read more
