    If you're on your way north to Port Townsend, stop here for a single 16oz patty cheeseburger with the works. Classic tavern with beer & wine. Pool table, pulltabs, & darts. Has outdoor beer garden 1/2 covered.

    Chuck joined us for lunch, such a nice man! Thank you for hosting us!!

    We were in the area this week for a Bachelorette Party and stopped by to sit on the beautiful patio for lunch. The patio is lined with gorgeous flowers and bushes that are maintained by one of the owners Karen. Had a wonderful time, ate the awesome hamburgers and drank a few libations! Toward the end of our lunch, Karen's husband & owner Chuck came by and joined us! Wonderful to hear his stories of the past and learn about his commitment to his business and to the community. We can't wait to visit again. We will be back on that deck soon!! Would definitely recommend, great service, delicious food & mostly, wonderful hospitality!

    The grill. Or more accurately, the broiler. This is where your Valley Burger is made.

    James Brown might be the hardest working man in show business, but the bartenders here are the hardest working women in the tavern business. (I don't think I've ever seen a guy behind the bar.) That's because your bartender is also your cook. There is a grill and a microwave behind the bar and they are used to turn out everything on the menu. The "World Famous" Valley Burger is only somewhat world famous, because nearby Navy personnel who frequent the tavern travel around the world and tell others about it. You burger is a fresh 1/2-pound patty that is cooked broiler behind the bar. They flip it then pave it with jalapeños and add a mountain of onions on top. They add grated Tillamook cheddar, melt it and add a second layer or cheese and toast the bun. They add their own "secret sauce" (yep it's the standard orange sauce), stick a plastic knife in the top to hold everything together and serve it with a bag of Ruffles. The place is a little local tavern that seems mostly unchanged from the 50's or 60's. In the summer they have a BBQ outside in a large fenced area. Most of the beer taps are pretty pedestrian, but they do have a rotating amber on tap. Yep, always an amber beer of some sort. There is a ginormous wooded statue of John Wayne on the way in. Sort of a 'wooden cowboy.' I need to ask the story behind that some day.

    Terrible fish sandwich and slow service along with a cash only policy when you have no cash equals a terrible experience!

    Stopped here this evening while we were passing through town after hiking, Our waitress Betty was…read moreawesome! Nice and helpful! Service was also great. I got the Callie's Double burger - game farm - style which included mustard cooked patties. I swapped out the patties for vegan patties which was free. It was yummy. My husband got the burger with Mac and Cheese on the patties. It was good too. I ended up getting dessert, the peanut butter landslide and that was also pretty good. Hopefully I'll be able to come back here if I'm in this area again in the next couple of years.

    The burgers here are super good. Both my friend and I got agreed that it was JUST the burger though…read morethat's good. Fries and onion rings were lacking, and our service was NOT good. We came in, had about 6 other tables come in after us. These 6 tables got served waters first, got ordered first, got checked on, etc. we didn't get checked on a single time. We also very clearly were done with our food (napkins on empty plates, plates pushed to the middle), and even though we kept making eye contact with multiple of the servers, we didn't get our check for almost 45 minutes. All 6 of the tables that came in after us ALL left before we even got our check. It looked like there were three servers for about 15 tables, so there was no reason we should have been waiting that long or not get checked on at all.
