Great little burger place with a cozy little view and feel. Onion rings are fresh made beer battered. Nice suttle sweetness in the batter. Got the veggie burger and it was good. Nothing amazing about the food but it was a warm eatery with good food. read more

"Poutine that was not routine" My family and I won't be back to this restaurant. While the ambiance was nice, and the server was great, the food was meh. I had poutine and my husband had the poutine burger. Loving poutine I was excited to have some and specifically we went to this restaurant since they had good reviews on their poutine. The fries were fine as were the bacon bits. The cheese was not melted; it was in little chunks, which I *could* deal with, until I tried the gravy. The gravy was so salty I left with my lips hurting and my head was starting to hurt. Not surprisingly, my husband's poutine burger was also incredibly salty. I mentioned to the manager that there was WAY too much salt in the gravy, and she said she'd pass the message on, but if this was how they've been making their gravy all along, I can't imagine no one else has complained. That said, there was an entire wall full of whisky, so perhaps folks should stick to this, instead of going for their other offerings. read more

I was super surprised by Stack. I thought it would be your run of the mill overpriced burger joint, but I was surprised by how good the burger actually was. I got the banh mi burger and it was really good. Very fresh crispy veggies, perfectly cooked burger, yummy parm fries. My one complaint is that the pricing is a litttttle ridiculous for salads/side salads. My burger was already $19 and I can't remember the exact number but the waitress quoted me something like $5-7 extra to sub a salad for fries. It was definitely a number that wasn't worth it! That's my only complaint is that I wish they had a better small sub option available for a healthier side that wasn't overpriced. The salads themselves seemed really expensive too. A large salad is already $18 (small is $13) with no protein included and adding chicken to either size is a whopping extra $8. We are practically doubling the price just to add a cheap, basic protein. Didn't seem worth trying a pretty basic chop or taco salad for $21-25. Very overpriced. Not to compare apples to oranges here, but you can get a very high quality and fresh salad that is HUGE from Red Robin (the Avo-Cobb-O) for $15 total and it has far more protein and ingredients than the salads offered here. My boyfriend got the mushroom burger and really enjoyed it. The food was super good and we will definitely come back to try more burgers. read more

One of our favorite places to eat before a movie or even just on the weekends. They have an amazing Banh mi burger and the fries are delicious. Can't go wrong with the Buffalo calamari!! The manager Jen was so helpful and she was smiling and looked happy to be there. read more

Found hair in my burger patty meat! They grind their own meat so i don't think they use special health guidelines when doing this. Would not go back read more

Great burger, interesting calamari and love the whiskey flights. Ordered truffle mushroom burger that was very moist burger, good hint of truffle and mushrooms. The calamari, I expected it to be in round circular shapes but it was rectangular. However it was still good. We had whiskey flights and each was different. Definitely will come back again. A lot of outdoor seating with socially distanced tables. read more

Place looks great, great location, but... I didnt create a yelp account to leave a positive review obviously. The bartender was a rude lady more suited for some sort of parking enforcement role. The "tall" beer was maybe 10oz (maybe 12) which is about a $1 per ounce after tax. The $20 dollar burger tasted like nothing. This burger place is a great analogy for Tacoma being that it looks pretty but its got a bunch of liberal clownery bull×%×$ going on all over the place. The dude host was cool and helpful as most dudes are. Thank you for your time. read more

Absolutely love everything about this place. The atmosphere, the staff, and the FOOOD. PB&Jelly Burger is my favorite. Definitely worth the wait when they are busy. 10/10 service as well! read more

I pass by this place every time I come to Point Ruston, and finally decided to give it a try. They have quite a good collection of beer and whiskey. Since I'm more of a beer person, I opted for the beer sampler, which had four small sample-size beers of your choice for about the same price as a pint of one. It was a really good choice if you wanna taste test a few of their varieties. For food, I really wanted to try their miso shishito peppers, because I am a huge shishito fan. It was a very good dish, and the price was reasonable since we went at Happy Hour, but a little bit salty. The miso made it too salty for my liking, but it was a good appetizer. I also got the fried buttermilk chicken sandwich, which was DELICIOUS. The chicken was fried just right, crispy and crunchy, when you bite into it the meat was still a bit steamy. My friend opted for a burger combo, which came with another soft drink of your choice, and fries with 3 different types of dipping sauces. The sauce with the almonds was really good, and puts ketchup to shame. Also highly recommend the waffle fries, they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and very large in size. Will definitely come back here again to try their other burgers and more of their alcoholic drinks! read more

I cannot find anything negative to say about this location, they were busy and were still reasonably consistent with the service, food and drinks. Had the burger of the month which was AMAZING! Bleu cheese & mushrooms "Yes Please" the Fried green tomatoes appetizers was great & the fried brussel sprouts - could not ask for a better amount of flavors and food. read more

Stack 571 Burger & Whiskey Bar - Love the bar & picture over the bar! - Burgers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

My favorite burger place in the county. I have been there twice in the past two weeks. My daughter knows me so well she gave me Stack 571 gift certificates for Christmas. (My favorite gift.) The service is friendly and the burgers are unique. If that wasn't enough, the choice of whisky is the stuff of dreams. read more

The service was really quick, but the food was such a disappointment. I ordered a mini stack, to go. First they forgot my fries, then they gave me a burger with holes in it. Could see the bread through it, and they meat that was there was charred black. Called them, and they said there was nothing they could do for us. read more

Ordered the 3 Pepper Bomb Fried Chicken Burger with Waffle Fries on the side, as well as an appetizer of shishido peppers. The fried chicken was juicy, crisp, and flavorful. Waffle fries were just the right amount and they offer 3 sauces to try out. Took about a 30 min wait for 4 of us since it was a nice sunny day today (definitely plan ahead depending on your group size). Definitely would come back as they offer great cocktails and beers! read more

This place is amazing! My husband and I were driving by and saw that this area of Ruston has been built up. We drove through once, and this burger bar caught my eye. We decided to stop by for lunch, and boy am I glad that we did!! We had to park in a parking garage, but that's totally fine because if you shop in the center, it gets validated. We walked inside and were immediately greeted by smiles. We were seated very quickly, and were given water. My husband ordered the 571 burger, I got the banh mi burger, we got our son the grilled cheese, and we also got the parmesan cheese fries. The banh mi burger was amazing, literally amazing. I can't stop thinking about how delicious it was. The burger patty was juicy and slathered with so much cilantro, carrots and cabbage while being topped with jalapenos. I never thought a banh mi burger could be so great! I also ordered a blueberry drink since it was happy hour, and it was very tasty! The 571 burger was delicious as well. They had a very savory sauce which definitely made the burger. The grilled cheese was okay, but I do think that it wasn't worth $7.00, but I know that for next time. The parmesan cheese fries were amazing!! I think it's garlic/parm fries. I had a feeling that it was going to be great because I love garlic and I love parmesan. I do plan on coming back when I'm craving a tasty home made burger, and if you like spicy, get the banh mi burger! read more

Had the PB&J burger with Parmesan truffle fries. Absolutely amazing! The service and atmosphere were great as well!

Triple pepper burger with chicken is amazing! The service was friendly and courteous. Especially Gabby! Attentive and helpful making sure we were happy. They literally have nearly 200 types of whisky and bourbon to try with flights. Big patio too! Really appreciate the eco friendly to go packaging as well! read more

The burgers were just OK. They looked better than what they tasted. Good portions but something was missing. My friend ordered the poutine fries and they ended up being really cold so we had to wave down our slow ass waiter to get a new order of the poutine fries. He also forgot to get my other beer 20 mins later. Our waiter never really came back to check on us at all through out the time we were there. Our food came slowly one by one. Don't get me wrong they do serve some unique style of burgers here but I know some other burger joints who deserve more attention than this place. read more

Yay!!! Another outstanding place on the waterfront with happy hour every day of the week! Hip-hip-hurray! $6 high end tasting drinks?! Yes please! I recommend the Rustan Mule! I have determined that it's my favorite drink on all of rustan way (and that's saying a lot!) I'm very happy about this place because the food is so good... even plates for vegetarians! I actually tried their healthy burger and boy did it not disappoint! Also had the tempura green beans and parmesan truffle fries! The dipping sauces... so good! So delicious I didn't even touch the ketchup the entire meal. Great place to hang out with family and friends and have a great meal. I will warn you tho, you'll have cravings the very next day to go back! read more

Eh im not impressed. My SIL loved the fried brussel sproute though! Fried green toms were too breaded and a weird sauce, wedge salad was already cut up???, my salad was NOTHING special and pretty small for a dang dinner salad. The kid burger was more bun than burger, BUT it did come with a free ice cream! Im giving it 3 stars bc I didnt get a burger ams thats what theyre known for..... But eh I wouldnt come again. read more

Food was excellent, and the service was impressive. I have several food allergies, and my server was so accmodating by checking with the chef to makes sure my order met all my restrictions. The chef was extremely accommodating. Our experience was great. Thank you read more

I have always enjoyed this restaurant until tonight. They were out of the salmon at 4pm, the service was beyond horrible, and the music was loud head banging music that made you want to walk out the door, which was my husbands suggestion. My burger was over cooked and salty. Maybe they have new management/owner's...I'm not sure but it's really gone down hill. Won't go back again. read more

Really good French fries. The garlic Parmesan ones are incredible. Wish there were more sauces included for dipping. Greater flavor and variety dipping sauces would be great. Burgers seemed just average and not as noteworthy as the fries. An in person dining experience would show whether the drinks and food make up for the overall experience. read more

service: Felt like the place was understaffed and employees a bit flustered and short with customers, but chatty among themselves. took over 45 minutes to get my order. food: did not enjoy the burger unfortunately. mushrooms were deep fried and overly oily. waffle fries were mixed quality, some crispy some undercooked. side dipping sauce did not jive. greens were soggy from the oil. overall left me with a stomach ache and regrets. read more

Managed to find a table in the bar. It was cleaned for us pretty quickly and the server came to our table twice to tell us he'd be back soon. We were given water and two glasses, one of which was filthy. He took orders from a table that was seated well after us. Left after 10 minutes of waiting for actual service. read more

Stack 571 Burger & Whiskey Bar - Burgers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I visited for the first time yesterday. Jenny was our server. She did a great job and was pleasant, personable and professional. I had one of their burgers, the one with parmesan and breaded mushrooms. Forget the name but it was high-quality meat for sure. Very good. A little too much kale though, but that was easy to pull off. My biggest complaint were the regular fries. Mine came out cold and they were basically tasteless. I've had better fries elsewhere. Maybe the other fries are good. I don't know if I will be back. The Mojitos was just OK and for $15 I expected more. If you want a kick ass Coconut Mojito go to the Cheesecake Factory. The rest of the staff at this place were awesome and interactive with patrons other than the tables they were serving. I noticed random acts of kindness. Try this place and see what you think. There are a few appetizers I may go back and try. I see there is a location closer to me. read more

We were taking the car in for an annual, and we're test driving a new model. Our favorite sales guy said, you've got a couple of hours, go explore. Along our journey we drove by Stack 571. Our server Crystal was great. She helped us decide on which burgers we wanted to try. We ordered a Bahn Mi burger and a Triple Pepper with the veggie burger. First the veggie burger is great. Of the two buyers, the Bahn Mi was the exceptional flavor explosion. I would totally have the veggie Bahn Mi next time. The burger Bahn Mi was yummy, and a do over. The Pepper Jack was good, but after the Bahn Mi lost the flavor game. We had the simple plain waffle fries. They were really done perfectly. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. We will come back next time we need to bring the car into the shop. Thanks Stack 571 for a great lunch. read more

I am a vegan, but I try not to be high maintenance. I ordered a salad and asked for it without bacon. When it came out it had bacon on it, but the gentleman who brought it out, who was not our server, was very polite about getting me a new one. When I took a bite I thought I tasted bacon. I had a feeling they just picked it off before I even took a bite, and 4 bites in I saw actual bacon. I don't like to waste food either but if you're trying to save some by picking off the meat, make sure you get it all. Thank god I'm not vegan for religious reasons. Our server handled the situation professionally and with grace and the item was taken off our bill as is right. However, I no longer can trust eating here. read more

Delicious food with great service! Would recommend!! The buffalo calamari was by far my favorite. The burger was also great and cooked to my liking. read more

Darn. I love the food here (unlike other reviews, we've found the food to be consistently good). What we like: the "boozy shake" with berries and vodka or bananas and rum; the garlic-parmesan fries; deep-fried mushrooms; truffled mushroom burger. The last two times we've visited, though, the service was *really* bad. We realize that the pandemic has shifted the workforce around but this type of service merits its own mention. When we visited in May, I asked for the mushroom burger but asked for the Beyond Burger patty (because it's vegetarian and still tastes amazing). A few bites in I noticed that it was actually beef. If you're vegetarian or vegan (or have allergies) you know how important it is to get a food order right. So, I told a server about it and she said curtly, "that server is really new so we're trying to go easy on him." Then she walked away. The manager ended up apologizing and giving us a gift card. Fine. We waited a few months then tried them again the other night. We told the server that we had a movie to get to. About 30 minutes after ordering, our orders didn't come. My (kind) husband then politely asked the server again and said we now had only 15 more minutes. The server came back and said, "one more minute." OK, we can eat fast. But 13 minutes passed and we now had two minutes to get to the movie. So, we paid for our drinks and left, with no apologies, no nothing from anyone. So, we get the shift in workforce and definitely feel empathetic. The food is tasty. But they need to work on their service because it's some of the worst we've ever had. read more

Stopped here before seeing a movie on Ruston Way Tacoma Waterfront. Prime location. Have a variety of cocktails and whiskeys available. Service was okay. Staff not really knowledgable of menu. Ordered a medium rare burger and came to us welldone. Server told us the cook was new. The Romesco sauce made everything taste wonderful. Had to ask for thirds on the sauce. The Parmesan fries were really good and the drinks were strong. The drinks also made the burgers taste better! read more

Friendly server from the get-go. Water carafes of repurposed whiskey bottles are chilled and neat, however small. Oh well. The fries--we got plain--perfectly fried. Like to-die-for crispy...but unsalted???--nevermind, the dipping sauces (house, romesco, BBQ) make you forget that. Then: I got the burger of the month on gluten free--terrific bun-- (black and bleu, with mushroom and blackening spice supposedly) and he the highly recommended fat sow. All I could taste was black pepper from the blackening spice. I ate two bites of the patty. The other nibbles from my burger were ok, though I never discerned bleu cheese. His was spot on delicious porky awesome, but he didn't eat much and took it to go since I only could eat the condiments from mine. Graham easily removed my burger from the bill (so quick I hope it's just cause he's good, not cause this happens often). We will return and try again -- reasonably priced for what you (should) get, and great staff. read more

We got the Kids Mini Stack 571 Burger, fried chicken sandwich, Pepper Bomb Burger (all with waffle fries), and the PB&J burger with parmesan truffle fries. The rootbeer is a draft rootbeer which was delicious. All the burgers and sandwiches were killer. Not one complaint. My wife had the pepper burger, and said that it was the absolute best burger she's had in a very long time. The kids finished both of their burgers and sandwiches, which tells me that they were delicious as well. The PB&J tastes just as it sounds. Delicious! Sweet, salty, peanut buttery. It's a MUST if you're adventurous. The parmesan truffle fries were amazing as well. I had a hard time finishing a full order of them, but they were delicious, none the less. Both the kids meals come with sundaes, and that made the kids day in the hot summer sun. Our server was fantastic and very helpful and polite. In fact all the staff there at the Ruston point location were absolutely amazing to deal with. Highly recommend checking them out. Worth the wait if there's one. read more
