    Beast burger
    Beny T.

    Went to grab some burgers. It's very good. Tried the beast burger and bison burger. Both were very good. The place was pretty packed. Ambience is standard pub like. Staff was pretty good too. I'd def visit this place for burgers and beer.

    Burger was really good! Probably one of the best ive had in a long time! Drinks are good too! Pretty cool place to just go and hang out. It passed my expectations.

    I was craving a burger and The Nison came to mind. Arrived during happy hour and enjoyed some onion rings with our burger and fries. We shared the burger, and there was plenty for two. Burger was cooked perfectly medium with a touch of pink. Hand cut fries were hot and delicious. Onion rings were freshly dipped and fried. We enjoyed the honey sriracha sauce. Service was quick even though the place was mostly full. Average noise level. TV's all around with sports playing. Nice place to go for a burger.

    This is it! This is the burger I've been looking for! The service was fantastic, we were seated fast and had our order in really quick. I ordered the forager burger. It was AMAZING! This may be the best burger I've had in Washington state! The beef was 100% prime rib and it was seasoned beautifully and cooked perfectly. The toppings were amazing! The bun was soft and fresh. The fries were a delightful golden brown and were nice and crispy. Great meal, great service! I can't wait to get back!

    The thing that really sets up the rating for this place was the service that we got. Our server was friendly and checked in the appropriate amount of time. The food was quick and HOT. In terms of the quality, I'm a Southern and the meat was definitely juicy but the flavor was just okay. It wasn't the best but it wasn't too bad. I think the fries and nachos ended up shining more than the brisket did as much as it pains me to say that. I think I had higher hopes and the flavor being a bit bland was a bit of a let down. I think the vibe here is great. It's definitely a fun "let's go grab drinks" and has a very country cabin feel with lots of sports playing. They had a decent selection of alcohol and I think makes for a great place to hang out with some friends late at night. I definitely think this place is worth checking out at least once since it's pretty hard to come by BBQ in WA!

    Burgers are great here. Cool old bar feel experience. Many drink options. Onion rings taste fresh and homemade. Come check this place out.

    Gotta give this some STARS and I will do my best to describe, as I was unable to take pictures…read more Came here to have a Roundtable with our Director, and he suggested this place as a midway point. Never even knew this area existed, but here we are. Started out with an Acid BlackBerry Cider, and it did not disappoint. This place is actually pretty big, with tons of seating and ambiance. After some chit chat, we ordered and I went with the Double Smash Burger and regular Fries. In the mighty and powerful words of Buford T. Justice... "SOMBITCH!!" Hands down the BEST Smash Burger I've had! Paired perfectly with dill pickle slices, that double American Cheese, grilled onions and whatever sauce or spread they had on it...warning... it's juicy and can get a little sloppy, but that makes a solid smash burger!!! That meal perfectly hit the spot! Could be a bit pricey on the menu, but anymore, what place isn't? Either way, you can expect some awesome grub that won't break the bank... especially if the Director is picking up the tab ;). The service was great, the conversation and team was in good form and cheer, and the meal was spot on. Hoping one day I get back out this way as an excuse to stop by again. Thanks for the experience and as always, enjoy and have a Smashing Ol' Time!

    Extensive menu, excellent service, but VERY LOUD. Although there is a pub feel there is something…read morefor everyone on this delicious menu, and we enjoyed the chicken wings in Szechuan sauce and the smash burger off the HH menu. Good portion sizes and tasty! Old fashioned cocktail was nice and strong, and lots of beers to choose from too. Couple of misses...something is up with the acoustics because there is a constant din that you have to yell over to be heard by your table mates. They automatically add 20% which I was fine with because service was great, but just a heads up. And prices seem high, like two meals and two drinks at HH prices was $70 before tip, you'd think it would be more of a bargain. But still, I wouldn't mind going back to try more of their menu.

    Excellent choice of beers here! Someone in the group not into beer? Say what? There are wine…read moreoptions as well as ciders and delicious sours! They have a nice little patio area where you can enjoy your beverage and you are allowed to bring food from neighboring restaurants! We enjoyed a couple of rose pours here before I spotted the guava hibiscus sour from Payette brewing in Boise! So much flavor and the right amount of sour. Just how I like it! Right now they are practicing social distancing and allowing only one person in the lobby at a time with a second register at the back for ordering once you've been seated out back. There are so many good options available in this tiny footprint of space right off the main drag in Bothell. I look forward to future visits to this neat spot!

    Came here for bonsai bar workshop, but got a drink so I had something by me at the table while I…read moreworked. I got a small glass of some rando cider, but I think that I got charged a higher peace than what was listed on the chalkboard menu that hangs up above the cashier table. Staff was welcoming, but idk...was not feeing comfortable here. Very tight, too. Only like three stools to sit at if you decide to stay at this bar. Very cold here, too. At least the bathroom was spacious...arguably more than it had to be because would be nice to have more floor area at the front so more customers could be seated. Not much else to say except that the bonsai bar workshop was a cute experience, but also very hard to hear them because the portable heaters would be running, but gave out no heat after 30 minutes. Soooo, what was the point? Hm...

    Would have been 5 but the bread pudding was horrible? More on that later…read more I came here tonight to escape the state of the Union bs. I was greeted by the most sweet waitress ever. I'm sorry I didn't get her name. I ordered a Rue Old Fashioned and it was perfectly blended and tasty. I wanted lite so ordered the Coronation salad and it was so good, just the right an out of chicken thighs grapes, cranberries and shaved almonds and the smooth curry dressing was so delicious. It was so perfect and I'll Definitely order it again. Then, I ordered the bread pudding to go. It came with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream with some caramel sauce. However, the bread pudding itself was close to in edible. It must have been made weeks ago and was so dry it almost required a jackhammer to break apart. I was so disappointed and ended up throwing most of it out. This place is less than a block away and I've never had a bad meal there and I highly recommend it. But recommend passing on the bread pudding unless you want something to throw at an ICE agent. 2/2822026 -amendment-I stopped here again for lunch. There were two occupied tables and the rest of the place was empty except for staff. A server came by and said "I'll be right back with you". I waited 15 minutes and not one showed up. I won't go back changing my rating to -1

    We first visited Kro Bar about six months ago, and since then we've been back nearly two dozen…read moretimes! The menu changes seasonally, and they host special events once or twice a month with unique fixed food and drink pairings-so there's always something new to try (and the events are a blast). A huge part of what keeps us coming back is the staff. The servers are friendly and attentive (and a lot of fun to chat with if it gets slow). And if you sit at the bar (highly recommend!), Cameron and Michael take it to another level. They're both talented, passionate and a lot of fun. They're always happy to make something off-menu or surprise us with bartender's choice. They've definitely turned us into cocktail snobs lol. And the food absolutely holds its own. We originally came for the cocktails on another bartender's recommendation, but we were blown away by how good everything has been. The ribeye is easily as good (or better than) steaks I've paid twice as much for elsewhere. The burger and fries are among the best around-and these days, one of the best deals anywhere if you go during happy hour. Similar can be said for everything else on the menu; we've had every appetizer, entree and side dish at least twice :P And since we're usually posted up at the bar, when there's a lull we sometimes get to chat w/ the kitchen, and it's clear they take real pride in what they do. It's just an awesome place with awesome people! :)
