17 Best Burger Restaurants near Kalama

“I grew up in Kalama & this place is always great, the only thing I ever change is getting less sauce on the burger. We LOVE the fish & chips, my kid is 10 & will often choose the fish over a bacon cheeseburger that's how good it is & that's both the cod & halibut, I've had it dozens of times & it's never ever tasted fishy of less than fresh, incredible tartar sauce. They still use soft serve in their milkshakes yet they are never milky, always nice & thick. Their onion rings are also incredible. I've seen some rude comments about the staff being teenagers, I've never ever had an interaction that was less than super friendly, respectful & professional a lot nicer than I've gotten from plenty of rude adults. It's been a tradition for a long time to hire kids from the local area & it gives them a chance to work around their school schedule & learn real responsibility so there's no need to say anything regarding the workers age, if someone is rude then say that who cares if they happen to be a teenager.“

“My family have drove up to the PNW to fish since I was a young lad, today, I’m 52 years young. In all of the countless trips throughout the years, not once was Burgerville not included on our itinerary. Whether it was fishing expeditions or shopping the outlets or heading to visit Seattle of Canada, Burgerville has always been a “must stop no matter what,” for as long as I’ve been around. It doesn’t matter what type of business you own or work for, it’s not about the products, services or pricing. Business is about people. After all, people make all of those decisions I just mentioned. We all know people are not without flaws (excluding Donald Duck ); no person or business is above reproach, (accept Donald Duck thought he was). Having said that, did we receive a perfect order every single time we stopped at this location, no. However, Burgerville has always owned it and made it right, with a cut above to make up for inconvenience. Don’t misunderstand me, the food is fantastic but this component is why we always come back. Mistakes are not meant to define you or an organization, they are meant to guide the individual and the organization. Almost two full months ago my brother and I were on our way up to Canada for our anual fishing trip and we couldn’t wait to hit woodland Burgerville for them Walla Walla onion rings, burger, and a shake. I pulled right out and hit the freeway as we were already a half day behind. I opened my bag of awesomeness only to discover our onion rings were very cold, greasy, and placid, very disappointing. Nevertheless, my brother called them and told them what we received and the manager asked us to come back so they can replace our order but we were already far gone and a half day behind. With that, the manger took our names and told us to stop by on our way back, and they would make it right. Tonight, on my way back home, again, almost 2 months later, I called. Unfortunately, the manager wasn’t able to recall the instance and could not find the notes with our name pinned up in the office like we were told. Nevertheless, he took my word for it and made it right! How about that, giving the customer the benefit of the doubt, I don’t know, nor am I aware of any restaurant organizations that do or would do that. We love ya Woodland BV!“

“Walking into NIPS feels like stepping back into the 1950s or ‘60s. Every time I’m there, I half expect to see Fonzie leaning against the counter or Richie Cunningham sitting in a booth. It has that classic diner atmosphere that’s getting harder and harder to find.

The food is exactly what you’d hope for from a true mom-and-pop burger joint—great burgers, crispy fries, and delicious shakes. It’s simple, authentic comfort food served in a place that feels like a piece of Americana.

If you’re looking for a meal with a side of nostalgia, NIPS is definitely worth a visit.“

“Burgerville truly feels like a hidden little treasure. There’s something special about a place that stays rooted in quality and authenticity, and Burgerville does just that.

The burgers were absolutely amazing—the grass-fed patty was full of flavor, and you can really taste the difference. Paired with the rich Tillamook cheese, everything came together so well. It felt comforting, almost like a homemade meal, but elevated in the best way.

There’s a warm, homey feeling here that makes you want to come back. I sincerely hope they continue to grow and succeed, while keeping that authentic flavor and care that makes them stand out.

Strongly recommend making a stop—you won’t regret it. 🍔“

“When we walked in everything was so clean I thought they were shutting down the day but the grill was hot because they made us a delicious double cheeseburger to-order and the fries were fresh and crispy on the outside, soft inside! Excellent service! A nice surprise to find in a gas station“

“Just enjoyed our first meal at Indy Way Diner. Our son recommended it, and we're glad we went there. Clean, great food, and our server Layna was an absolute SWEETHEART. 🥰 Highly recommend! We'll definitely be back.“

“Great place that keeps up with the times! They offer both domestic and local beer options, and they continue to update and experiment with their food menu. Have been coming here since they opened and have always enjoyed it. Highly recommend!“

“the cashier was extremely patient with an elderly customer who was clearly challenged by the menu. she helped him figure out exactly what he wanted and assisted him with his credit card purchase too - all the while, smiling! when it was my turn, she greeted me with enthusiasm and didn't mind a little chit chat. I was pleased with my Beyond burger as well. nice job!“

“Fresh, hot yummy burger and waffle fries with cheerful friendly staff. Our puppy loved his treat too. Thank you!“

“Had a bowl of chili today. it was some of the best I have had.“

“Colby’s Burger and Fries is so stinking good! 🤤 I ordered the onion burger 🍔, and it was absolutely delicious....juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly (My husband said the same about his burger!) . I also tried the shake of the month, the Grasshopper, and wow… it was so thick and creamy. Honestly, 100x better than the Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s! We also had to try the new seasoned fries, and they did not disappoint...perfectly crispy, super flavorful.If you haven’t tried them yet, you definitely should!!! Everytime has been delicious! 🍔🍟 ♥️“

“10/10 first time experience🥳 Employees are super nice, coffee is perfect, I got a breakfast bagel that was amazing and prices are reasonable! Would absolutely recommend!“

“Almost everything you could ask for here. Id recommend the squid salad and the shrimp soup, but that's not for everyone haha. Best Thai food in town1“

“This has to be hands down the cleanst BK I have ever been in. It was absolutely spotless in the dining area, soda machine and bathrooms. Very friendly staff and the girl taking our order saved us money by bundling our food as a 2 for $7. The people in the back were jokomg around with each other and seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. The Whopper Jr and Chicken sandwich were as fresh as you can get at a BK. Will be back the next time through Kelso.“

“We travel to find a Del Taco. So far, not a single one across the U.S. has ever disappointed us food and flavor wise. Like everything these days, prices have increased, but its worth the $ for the occasional treat. I would rather eat Del Taco then eat at a five star restaurant sometimes. 😋 Enjoy the Chicken tacos, half pound green, bean burritos, the combo burritos and their French fries 🍟! Omg! Always perfect and inexpensive. Their Carne is great and the spicy jack quesodilla (can't spell it. Lol) with or without chicken, is awesome too.“
