great family business
Christine M.

lots of parking able to eat outside has inside seating has gluten-free burger buns has options for lots of milkshakes. Great ambience inside and out service is quick. Food was good. would come coming from Portland to Seattle. Exit 30.

Sad order of onion rings
Jen B.

Don't do it- $9.72 for sad cheese burgers, $4 for even worse onion rings. ( see picture) plus they ask for customers to TIP!! Give me a break- do better! Get rid of tipping option for ordering a cheeseburger, don't screw up on simple orders, get better quality meat for your burgers, there's your tip.

"1/4lb deluxe" with cheese....
Kevin J.

I really wanted to like this place. I've driven by The Burger Bar in Kalama countless times over the years, and finally decided to stop in on my way home from Mount Hood. Sadly, I left disappointed. The burger patties were thin, gray, and completely unseasoned, like they forgot flavor was part of the recipe. I paid $9 for a basic cheeseburger that didn't even come with fries. At that price point, I could've gotten a full 3-piece chicken strip basket with fries somewhere else. It makes no sense to charge $8-$9 for a "quarter pound deluxe" when the patty is barely there, bland, and honestly felt like an afterthought. This was one of those meals where you eat it and immediately wish you'd gone somewhere else. The staff was nice, they could probably clean the tables in the dining room, a little bit better but other than that.. I'm all for supporting local spots, but the quality has to match the price. Unfortunately, this didn't come close.

We haven't had a good burger in a while! We were driving from Federal Way, Washington and the wife had to use the bathroom. So I stopped at a gas station, but noticed this burger spot as I passed it. Chris hadn't eaten yet, so I figured we'd try their burgers. The place was full as well as the parking lot. I parked on the street. All we wanted was a cheeseburger each. We ordered their Classic Deluxe Cheeseburgers with crinkle fries. The cheeseburgers were excellent. The flavor reminded me of old school burgers from my youth. They had great flavor! The fries were kind of limp and needed to fry longer. I like my fries crispy. I almost docked them for that, but my review are on their burgers. There is a reason this place is packed with customers. If you're in the area passing through and are a bit hungry, this place is worth a pit stop!

We have driven past the Burger Bar numerous times, heading to and from Portland, for years, all the time saying "We really want to try this place one day". Well. One day came along! After dropping our daughter off at PDX, my husband and I agreed that a burger and fries sounded like a nice meal to get before the final 1.5 hour drive home. We swung into the Burger Bar and were struck by how decent the prices were. We both opted for the 1/4 lb burger, mine with onion rings and husband with fries. He also ordered a chocolate milkshake. The waitstaff was friendly and hustling! It was busy and those kids kept up, all with smiles on their faces. The dining area is seat yourself with wide chairs and tables. It's not huge, but a decent size and we didn't have any trouble finding a table. Our food was delivered to the table quickly. Hot and yummy! The onion rings were excellent. Crispy and golden. The burger was tasty. The meat was a thin patty, and didn't look hand patted, more like a thin, frozen pre-made patty. That kind of disappointed me, but, to their credit, it was tasty. Honestly, a very respectable greasy spoon kind of burger. Exactly what we were in the mood for! The crinkle cut fries were fried to a perfect golden crisp as well. And, the chocolate shake rounded the meal off nicely! The menu is large with some great options to try, so my husband and I agreed we'll definitely be back to do just that! Next time you're driving past Kalama, consider swinging into the Burger Bar and giving them a try!

Solid classic burger. Staff was nice and eager to answer any questions. Everything was clean and inviting. We got a delicious pumpkin shake, crinkle cut frys and 1/4 burger with cheese.
