Nut allergy friendly: No issues with anything I ordered. Parking: Plenty in the strip-mall like lot. Time to Drinks: 8 Minutes Time to Order: 23 Minutes TL;DR Pros: Good portions and a decent burger / Cons: Very, very pricey! We arrived around 8:30 PM on a Thursday evening after hiking Mount Little Si and were promptly seated and served. I got a Rockstar burger, and paid to upgrade the normal fries to truffle fries. I got some sticker shock from the burger price at first, but they do include fries in the price so it's not as insane as it looks at first glance. I would say the truffle fries are definitely worth the upgrade, but only one person really has to do them - the portions are massive! We got a mix of sides to share. The onion rings (four to an order) are large and crispy. The tater tots were decent. I'd say the truffle fries are definitely worth an order if you are with a group. Definitely ends up a bit pricey at just under $60 for two drinks and a burger with the upgraded fries. I'd say if it were 20% cheaper or if they had options to order burgers without the sides to share one order of fries/tater it would be solid, but it is a bit pricey for what it is. read more

It's been years since visiting one of these locations, but since Burger Master down the street was such a hot mess, we ended up here to try to fulfill a burger craving. The menu hasn't changed in a long time, so I'm usually getting my incredibly messy (and expensive) Rockstar burger. While the burgers are large, the beef patties are just ok, essentially not memorable. The milkshake is not worth $9, and pass on the thick undercooked onion ring app. Honestly the fries are the most reliably good part of the meal. The economy is rough right now, but 2 burgers and fries, onion rings and a milkshake ended up being hella steep for the lower quality and it's hard to justify a return visit. read more

Our first experience was just that, an experience. The burgers are messy, Bring extra napkins, a bib, and maybe a backup shirt. I ordered the Tipsy Burger with bacon and pickles. Paying extra for bacon? Totally fair. Paying $2 for pickles? At that price I was expecting them to be hand-harvested by artisan cucumber whisperers. I upgraded to the onion rings because the menu promised brew-battered goodness. Plot twist: they were not brew battered. Instead, they showed up wearing a thick, under-seasoned bread coat that felt more like winter in Alaska than crispy onion rings. Sadly, they were the biggest disappointment of the meal. The burger itself was pretty good, but the bun kept stealing the spotlight and not in a good way. It had an odd flavor that I couldn't quite identify. Whatever it was, I wasn't a fan. The ranch definitely didn't taste homemade. If it was, somebody's grandma needs a new recipe. My dining partner ordered The Experience burger, and ironically, it was the best part of... the experience. He loved it. We did, however, disagree on the fries. He thought they were oversalted. I thought they were so under-seasoned and very bland. Somehow we were both disappointed for completely opposite reasons. One thing they absolutely deserve credit for is having a dedicated gluten-free fryer. That's a huge plus and something people with gluten sensitivities will definitely appreciate. Overall, I'd come back for another burger, but I'd skip the onion rings, pass on the ranch the bun, and probably bring my own pickles. read more

I think this place is honestly just okay. I've been to Tipsy Cow multiple times and I think the quality for the price has gone down significantly over the years. We like to take people here for a sit-down burger, but I honestly think we prefer chain restaurants at this price point. The service is good though and the vibes of the restaurant are good. I think it's a shame as I much prefer supporting local restaurants over chains when I can, but the burgers were just too dry and fell apart so easily. And, I think they could either trim down their menu or rotate more specials as I feel like the menu hasn't changed much. read more

We honsetly thought it would be just an ok burger bar; expectation wasn't that high; but to our surprise; the two burger we got was really good. The waitress that helped us was very responsive and nice. Sat in the patio area so did not get to inside. What we got: The Arsonist (4/5) Realy good burger and the heat from the peppers and the habanero was nicely done; this is a good burger. The All American Smash Burger (4/5) Another great burger as well. Nicely cook and seasoned. Onion rings (3/5) This was ok; not too bad but not too good either; its just ok Overall Based on what we got; its a good place to get burgers and some beers. read more

We just love coming here-- great burgers and second of all, you support local businesses. My favorite thing has to be the three different types of vegetarian options. How many places do you know has these many options? I love the fact that they make the patty themselves. In a world where businesses are constantly taking shortcuts to save costs, here's a local joint that actually puts thought into what they serve you. We love both El Bandito and Black Magic but I have tried their other offerings like The Mother Clucker with the veggie patty. Their fries, tater tots, onion rings-- all great. read more

Food was good but the service was so poor it ruined the experience. The server was "slammed" and manager sat there on her phone. "Slammed" but still had time to sit and talk to some other customers which I assumed were friends. I understand being busy and not having time to check on customers, but waiting 20+ minutes for the bill and struggling to get anyone's attention is ridiculous. I will not be recommending this spot to anyone. I wish tipping culture wasn't a thing, otherwise I wouldn't have tipped. For such expensive food, I'd hope the service would be at least decent. read more

Not bad. Burgers were good, but messy. We got the Zeus and the Rockstar. The Rockstar had these fried bacon pieces on it that were, off. They were a little too thickly fried, and they didn't stay out on the burger. I always like to try out a places onion rings. These are the type that are comically huge, and a bit over fried. Not the 'sand paper rip up your mouth' type, but it's on its way there. You get 4 in place of your fries, and they are huge. I would not recommend subbing your fries for these. My husband got sweet potato fries and those were great! So I can only imagine how good their normal fries were. Drinks were good too. I got the Born and Raised and my husband got a few of their featured ciders. All were good and well made. We got wings and curds as apps and both were good. All and all this was a good meal, but nothing I need to write home about. But yes, a solid burger joint that fully supports the PNW, so that's cool. read more

**Pros:** Amazing burger spot with a great variety of burger options. I loved their house sauce with the fries, and the cheese curds were excellent too. **Cons:** The craft beer wasn't cold enough for my taste; it was only on the warmer side. The service was just okay, and we felt like we were being treated like just another customer rather than receiving the kind of attention you'd expect at a proper restaurant. I'd definitely go back for the burger, but I probably wouldn't order beer there again. read more

Very good burgers, fries, and service! I love the variety of burgers they have-the one with Brie is amazing . Will definitely be back.

Ordered the Brewmaster (closest I could find to a BBQ bacon burger), subbed onion rings for fries and a shake. The burger was good. Maybe not my favorite bbq burger but good. I was surprised at only 5 onion rings in place of fries but they were a decent size and I was full at the end but someone with a bigger appetite might not be happy. The best part was the bananas foster shake. I'm a big fan of the table side bananas foster dessert at the Metropolitan Grill in Seattle and this shake was an excellent treat. I felt like I was at the Met every time I took a sip. The bartender was my server and was friendly and attentive without being annoying. Happy with the service. Definitely a good place to go for burgers. Don't skip the shake! read more

We were in town, and my brother loves this place. We came for lunch and had great service and great food. We had an order of onion rings, and they were big and crunchy - you had to cut them with a steak knife! We also tried an order of little corndogs, and they were delightful! They were crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, just how a corndog should be. We then each had burgers, and they were big and cooked to perfection. I had a burger with blue cheese, and my brother had the special, which included cheese, bacon, and, I think, an egg. I will for sure be coming back. read more

Tipsy Cow Burger Bar - Burgers Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

Just a total burger joint. What they offer is burgers, 1/3 pound (?) patty, with few "unique" toppings. It's good, not too hefty, but adequate. But, I am not really fond of anything other than the "Arsonist". They do offer chicken and seafood sandwiches too. The lack of type of toppings I like just do not lead me to their offerings. Sorry! I must say, the burger is cooked well, to your request. Tastes OK too, but bit on the pricy range. read more

Food wasn't bad and the menu was fun, but it was unnecessarily expensive. We placed a to-go order at the hostess stand and probably wouldn't do that again. read more

The Case of the Missing Pig The clouds had stopped sometime before dinner, but the disappointment rolled in right on schedule. I found myself at The Tipsy Cow in Issaquah, one of my usual spots. The kind of place that has earned the benefit of the doubt. Fast service. Good people. Burgers big enough to make tomorrow's lunch somebody else's problem. Tonight's suspect was the Grande Pig. The menu read like a confession to excess: adobo pork, grilled pineapple, guacamole, caramelized onions, romaine, chipotle mayo, ciabatta bun. Every word promised bad decisions and a happy ending. The first bite was fantastic. The second bite was fantastic. The third bite was fantastic. There was just one problem. There was no pig. I kept chewing, searching the sandwich like a detective turning over a crime scene. Pineapple? Found it. Guacamole? Plenty. Chipotle mayo? Leaving fingerprints everywhere. The pork, however, remained at large. Eventually I located it. A thin strip hiding deep in the sandwich. Less "Grande Pig" and more "Pig of Interest." It was sliced so thin I briefly wondered if I'd found evidence or just a witness statement. And that's what makes this case so strange. This sandwich was delicious. Absolutely delicious. The flavors worked together like a well-rehearsed heist crew. Sweet, smoky, creamy, tangy. Every bite was excellent. But at $19, I wasn't paying for a pork-themed scavenger hunt. If you're going to name the sandwich Grande Pig, the pig should not require a search warrant. The real crime isn't that the sandwich tasted bad. The real crime is that it tasted so good while simultaneously making me feel like I'd been pickpocketed. I'll be back. The Tipsy Cow has built up too much goodwill over the years to lose me over one sandwich. But next time I'm sticking with the Rockstar Burger. It never makes promises it can't keep. It shows up. It does the job. It leaves no unanswered questions. As for the Grande Pig? The flavors were innocent. The value was guilty. Case closed. ‍ Verdict: An outstanding sandwich starring a missing pork person. 9/10 for flavor. 4/10 for value. read more

We've been to several of their locations but it was our first time to the Issaquah spot. I really enjoyed the interior layout and all the big screen TVs with ample seating. Now on to the food which is all about the burgers and the wide variety with clever names! I went with the Tipsy Burger that came with a seven ounce Wagyu patty with cheese all the veggie fixings and tipsy sauce. I added on the thick cut bacon which runs you a few extra bucks. We also had two of the Arsonist burgers with the same size patty but jacked up with pepper jack cheese, fire roasted jalapeños, harissa pepper aioli and roasted habaneros (optional) and with all the kick it wasn't overly spicy hot. We had the original fries and also upgraded with the truffle fries. Our server was great and she tended to needs. Overall a good experience although expect to pay about $22-$25 per burger with fries depending on the add-ons. They also had a huge selections of cocktails, mocktails, shakes and beers but we didn't give them a try. read more

Pretty decent burger place. Has some unique types of burger and sooo many options. The portions are decently sized. I got the winemaker which I loved. The Brie was good and it had white truffle aioli. It was super flavorful. It was good just a bit heavy but still delicious. We got the berry milkshake too and added the berry vodka into it. It was soo good as well! There are options to sub out certain things like the fries can be changed to onion rings. The mother Clucker was good too but not my favorite. It was nice and crunchy though. The onion rings had a lot of batter so the outside was thick and it was pretty crunchy. I didn't like the thick batter very much. Overall the food was good and it came out fast. We didn't go at a busy hour so there were few people in it. There's a lot of seating and outside seating as well. The interior is pretty casual, nothing fancy. read more

I was around the area and was craving for a juicy burger so decided to try this place out. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted immediately by the host. I love how the restaurant is divided into two sides which made it very spacious. Our server greeted us and gave us our menu. The menu had a lot of interesting burgers ranging from chicken to fish. I decided to try the Experience burger which had Portobello mushroom, tomato, lettuce, white cheddar and Chèvre (goat cheese). My partner got the original tipsy burger which had the basics with Beecher's cheddar cheese. Overall, I thought the Portobello mushroom burger was good but I should have asked for no goat cheese since it was too overpowering. The burger was cooked perfectly and very juicy. I sampled the tipsy burger and thought it tasted better than mine. I should have gotten the classic but oh well, it was my fault. We also tried one of their banana foster milkshakes and thought it was delicious. For $9, I wish they give you more and in a bigger cup. Just a heads up that this place is not cheap. You're looking at about $20 per burger. I'm giving this place 4 stars just because our server was awesome. read more

I came here with my family as they boosted how great the burgers were at the Kirkland location. The staff was great, friendly and attentive, but the burgers fell short for me. Maybe because I was expecting a big juicy burger and it didn't meet my expectations. It's a little pricey. There's a nice open space for you to dine in at. The best thing is that you can ask to buy the cow plush. That was probably the best thing my daughter got from here. read more

Office lunch today is from Tipsy Cow, my order was rockstar. I wanted to try egg on a burger and deep fried maple bacon. I asked for med rare, it was cooked medium rare. It was little cold and fries were not crispy anymore. I got stuck in a meeting. It was messy and big. The bun was moist. There was no sauce on the burger, not sure what happened to sauce. I did get the Moo Sauce for the fries. Unless i misunderstood reading the description, I thought it would come with sauce. Without it, it was plain, down to 3 stars. Moo sauce was thousand island with a kick. It was pricy. May be it would been different if I dine in. read more

But I did, and have been sick with diarrhea, with blood, bad stomach cramps, and low grade fever, body aches, and just feeling crappy! I will never eat at Tipsy Cow in Issaquah again! I will bbq my own burgers from now on! Awful experience, what is sad, I believe my whole family got sick! We are all sick to our stomachs! What a way to start your week! Clean up Issaquah Tipsy Cow! There is reason your restaurant is not rated by Washington state excellent only good, and honestly with this food poisoning it should be BAD!!! read more

Birthday burger! Decided on the tipsy burger. And it was delicious. Perfectly cooked. Just the right amount of pink inside. A soft brioche style bun. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes and I chose the white cheddar cheese. A messy burger for sure, and so yummy. The fried pickles hit the spot as an appetizer. Just the right dill and tempura coating. The service was a bit spicy when we asked to be moved to a larger table. But then the service smoothed out. Super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The truffle fries were good too. Almost too rich. I had one sweet potato fry off a friend's plate. Next time I'm ordering those. Substantial beers, wine, and cocktails. Looking forward to going back. SYOY. read more

After our first experience, we had to try Tipsy Cow again. This time on a Friday night, 7:00. We were seated quickly and the server was friendly. Ordered the NW Salad and the Pulled Pork Sandwich. The fresh salad greens were tender and crisp. The pork was spicy good with fried pickles to offset the spiciness. Shout out to our attentive server, Cierra, who was attentive and fun. So glad we returned to try Tipsy Cow again. Enjoy! read more

Service was awful. Server and the manager were rude. Food was not good very disappointing

The burgers were good the fries were great. I'm not sure whom the source them from, but that's tasty. Cheese sauce on the "jacked up" fries is a big miss for me though. Not creamy, or warm. It was clumpy and without the heat jalapeños would suggest. My mistake, won't order that again. I did order my burger without the tomato and that really helped the burger not dissolve in my hands. Lesson learned? Maybe. Until next time. read more

I'll pay for Tipsy Cow over Red Robin from now on. The options are more up my alley and I always get my boozy shake and fries satisfaction.

Tipsy Cow is the RR our kids deserve with less fuss and really good food. I've never ever met a rude staff member at any Tipsy Cow location as well which speaks highly to their training and management teams! read more

We went on a Friday night and asked if there was happy hour and got seated at the bar. The server said she wasn't sure but once we were taken to the bar, the waiter didn't mention anything about it, so we assumed there's no happy hour..? We ordered a Sticky Icky Whiskey Wings and a Winemaker (7oz custom ground beef patty, triple cream brie, alfalfa sprouts, caramelized onion, white truffle aioli) burger. Both were pretty tasty. The flavor on the wings was nice and unique, although I wish the flavor was also in the meat itself. The chicken was still juicy which was nice. The Winemaker burger was really good, especially with how well all those other toppings came together. The burger overall was on the greasy side though, so that was a bit unfortunate. The fries were also nice and crispy, not too oily. read more

Good food. Easy to make reservations. Noisy though. Liked the boozy shake. Great sweet potato fries

To quickly summarize: We had great customer service. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and not super crowded on arrival but customers steadily came in during in our dinner. So it never was too loud and we were able to have a nice meal with decent conversation. The cheese curds came out popping hot and were a solid 3.5/5. Cheesy, crunchy and slightly salty with a nice chew you expect from curds. The poutine was solid. The gravy was well seasoned. But the egg didn't really add anything to it. 3/5 The wings were cooked well but probably our least favorite. Just didn't really do anything for us 2.5/5 My son's burger was big and juicy and he devoured it. He gave it a 4/5. The jacked up fries 4/5. The cheese sauce was delicious and we all loved it. Preferred this over the poutine. Hands down. They obviously do fries well here too. Crispy on the outside but light and fresh. I would definitely come back and I would order a burger for myself instead of wings and definitely order the jacked up fries. read more

I used to enjoy coming to Tipsy Cow, but unfortunately the quality of both food and service has noticeably declined. Orders have been mixed up more than once, and what's more concerning is that they've dismissed clearly stated allergy restrictions--which is not only careless but potentially dangerous. Really disappointed by the lack of attention to detail and overall drop in standards. Hoping they turn things around, but for now, I won't be coming back read more

I was so excited to give this place a try. The menu looked delish. But that's where it stopped. I came today with a friend for lunch. Our serve was Rashelle. We saw her exactly twice. When she took our order. And then dropped off the wrong order for both of us. Service 1/5 I ordered the wings with habanero sauce and my friend order wings with sweet bbq sauce our waitress brought our food out 20 minutes later. Said what it was and set them down. One bite in and she was like. Wow this is spicy and one bite of mine and I was like this is just brown sugar in a chicken wing. (Did I mention I have to watch how much sugar I consume each meal) We flagged down the hostess and asked her what the flavors were and she said that our orders have been delivered incorrectly. She said they'd remake them (it had by then been 40 minutes since we arrived) we just swapped plates and continued our conversation. The wings (since I had both) were very overcooked to the point of being hard. It felt like they'd been fried at opening and then tossed in some hot bbq to hear them up. 1/5 (both flavors) The truffle fries. These were pretty good. Not sure if they were worth $11 but they were good. 4/5 then at 12:50 (again where is our waitress) we flagged down the hostess and asked for the bill so we could split the check and pay. By the time she brought it to me my friend had to leave to get back to her office on time. I asked to speak to a manager. The gal disappeared for a moment and then said ok sure. Just a few minutes. You can pay while you wait. Mackenzie the manager came over and apologized for what happened and gave me two $10 coupons to be used on another visit. Ya. No. I won't be back. You lost a potential customer. My total bill was $44 for food I didn't order. (and yes I paid the full bill) read more

What's the purpose of a waitlist if you don't manage table seating? You end up pissing off the patron when you arrive on time to be told it's a 30 min wait because there are no large tables. Why are there a party of 2 at a booth meant for more. I attribute it to improper and inexperienced staff...lack of training is obvious because I saw one large table open. This use to be my go-to burger joint. Quality of meat, conditments and were always spot-on. My only complaint is the choice of bun. Manner make-it a man...bun make-it the burger.

We had high expectations with this place. There were so many downfalls I don't know where to begin. 1. Long lines and I was expecting that we can do a quick order to go...nope. waited 20 minutes for 2 kids burgers and 2 shakes. They said we could sit in the dining area. 2. When we got our order - they completely forgot the fries that came with it for both orders. $12 for an overpriced kids burger and 4 dinky orange slices. The shakes were just average. 3. It also looked like they just threw in 4 slices of oranges haphazardly. And the juice from the orange soaked into the burger so it was gross. We forgot to ask for tomatoes and lettuce. Come on! That should be the default to have it in the first place. They should put the fruit in a cup. I felt like the employees didn't really care about how their food was being prepared or the people who ate it. Without a doubt, we will NEVER be back. read more
