Reviews for Van's Burger in Olympia, WA
Visited Van's Burgers for the first time a few days ago. I ordered a hand dipped corn dog which cost $6.00 (didn't come with... anything just the corn dog) oh and fry sauce ($0.50). I felt like that was pricey but really wanted to give this place a trybecause I drive by it every so often and see such a long line so I thought it must be good! When I ordered the corn dog, thatwas at The Sweet Spot (they have 2 lines for 2 different small shacks *best way to describe the set up* but same company). WhenI spoke with the lady at my window, she walked over to me because I was in the longer line to get to the Burger shack, I toldher this was my first time and she explained that 1 side of the menu can be ordered at The Sweet Spot (shakes, sundaes, cones,corn dog) but burgers, fries, fountain drinks, onion rings and hot dog can be ordered from the Burger side. She also mentionedthat whatever I ordered from The Sweet Spot I would be charged once (this was not mentioned but I noticed that they put alaminated magnetic number on the driver side door) they go prepare what you've ordered (from The Sweet Spot) and once it's donethey bring it to your car (the wait for the Burger side is LONG so by the time you near the ordering speaker for the Burgerside, they will usually have walked over your first order to your car window and removed the magnetic number from your car). AsI mentioned when I spoke to the first lady who took my order she explained to me how if you order from both The Sweet Spot andthe Burger side you will be charged twice. I was fine with that until I got home and really looked at my receipt ???? I want towarn those with using a debit or credit card, they charge a convenience fee of $0.50 on top of the tax.. so if you order fromboth shacks plan to pay that fee twice and tax twice. I was bummed to see that I paid nearly an extra $3.00 on top of what I hadagreed to order. If your on a budget, account for these fees or better yet only use cash when ordering Read more
First time here, we've always pass by this burger joint and never had the chance to stop. Today... we did and it was delicious!... We got the marionberry shake and it was soooo good. They also gave us a pup cup and a puppy patty for my dog. He enjoyed it verymuch! We also enjoyed our burgers, fries, onion rings but i didnt get to capture the food because i just needed to get thatfirst bite! Definitely coming back. The long drive thru line was worth it. The staff was very nice too! Read more
So dog friendly. Ur dog will get a treat if u say yes. Burgers r good and that berry lemonade is bomb.
This place isn't always open. When it is, it is worth the wait. Its the best burger (also cheaper) for the lacy/Olympia area.... Does have a small pasture of grass to be able to sit down. Wait for can be 15 to 40 minutes, depends. Burger tasted great and Iloved the onion rings better than the fries. Read more
The lines are long, and for good reason. The shakes and burgers are out of this world. Very filling. The burgers are crazy juicy... and are nicely complimented by the fix-ins. I wish I took a picture of the meal but I was too hungry to remember lol. Also, theladies here are so nice and very talkative while you wait for your meal. The talkativeness does not take away from their speed.Despite those long lines, you don?t wait for very long. Read more
One of the juiciest burgers I've had! Super delicious food with shakes and other sides. Wish they were open more but this place... is a must for any burger lover! Read more
Love Van's burgers. The down side, they are seasonal and only open a few days a week. Their milkshakes are amazing with real... fruit chunks. Corndogs are gigantic and taste homemade. Made/fried to order sooooo fresh and with crunchy coating and a veryjuicy beef sausage. Line forms quickly so you better get there as soon as they open. You can enjoy t h e goodies at home or parkright there with a green view of the farm. Burgers are available on the other shack and they are the best as well. But theyhave the longest line. Read more
It was our first time going and will definitely be back! We waited about 40 mins before being able to order sweet stop! They... handed out a newsletter to help make it seem like the waits less the newsletter talked about each employee so that's awesome tobe recognized. The milkshakes were super good. They gave our dogs pup cups and a free burger patty! The girls in the burgerstand were soo friendly and efficient. Who ever owns this place is doing something right. Read more
