I can't say enough about a good burger place! I've been here a multitude of times, and never once have they ever failed me or my girl. Their food is awesome every time. One of the biggest benefits of this place is their staff: they are always happy! They always seem to have fun while they work. The burgers here are nice sized for the price. They have some smaller burgers and things for the lunchtime munchies, and some bigger ones for those of us (Myself included) who need a little more food in our meals. The fries are a perfect amount of crispy (My girls favorite) and soft ones (My fav). They have tons of menu items, so I am sure you'll find SOMETHING to suffice your inner fat kid. They even have ICE CREAM AND BAKED GOODS! (I know, right?!) And this place is a historic one for Tacoma. Been here for a loooong time. I highly, highly suggest a "Big Daddy" burger. Try these guys out. I'm sure they won't disappoint!

I liked it. It felt like the kinda burger place thats so kitch and campy that it seems like it's a scene from a Tarantino movie wgen ordering. I double dog dare ya to order the milk shake. The Bonanza is great two. The Chili dog is good, and they have the Hawaiin burger. No Big Kahuna, but they do have the Big Daddy Burger. I Will be here again . The girl at the window was friendly, and charismatic, saying, safe trails.

Went this evening to Burger Ranch. Staff was friendly and helpful, we went towards the end of the night so they were out of a lot of stuff. However the girl working kindly told us before we started looking and that was super helpful and awesome. I’m assuming the food must be good because they are out and so far I’ve heard this is normal. The food was pretty good! I got the mushroom burger, and it was really good! They have some awesome shakes!!! With quite a bit of flavors as well! We got the food to go because it was super cold in there. We will be going back.
