Country Burger

Restaurant impossible please help!We came through the drive thru thinking it would be quick and boy we were wrong. The drive thru can only hold about one car before the other is in the street. This is a danger and problem that we witnessed first hand. There car behind us got yelled at by someone screaming, "Get out of the road assholes!" We went up, and the person helping us was super friendly, but told us we would need to wait due to milkshakes being super popular right at that moment.

Hungry for a burger, decided to take a little drive and check out Country Burger. I did the drive thru ordering, which they have set up pretty well. Everything is made to order, and have two spaces specific to drive thru to wait however it was pretty busy this day. I parked in front and was told it would be longer than normal which was okay for me. I had the bacon and blu burger. The burger patty is hearty and was not greasy. The bacon was thick and well done. I like my bacon crispy and it was that, not that floppy stuff. The blu cheese was not overpowering. If anything, it could have used a little more. All that plus the lettuce and tomato made this a filling meal. Added on the waffle fries which appeared to be fresh cut. They were cooked to the right amount of crunch. They offer a dipping sauce and I chose the house made tartar. I have to check out the fish and chips next time just to have the tartar again!Also had a blackberry shake. Fresh fruit and a good thickness, although the heat in the car melted it while waiting for the rest of the food so I had it quickly. If you are going to take-out, there are two lakes nearby. Along Lake Ki there is parking alongside the road. If you can find a spot you can watch while people kayak.

Country Burger is a good burger joint, run by a young, creative, hard-working crew. The store is pretty clean (which, as you know, is a big deal for this old kitchen manager) and the food is well-prepared. Hot stuff is hot, lettuce, onion and tomato are cold and crisp, the bread is not stale. They have a few decent beers on tap, and PBR and Coors too, for the rest of you who want what leaves your body to more closely resemble what went in, in color and flavor.The usual punches that family joints pull are pulled here; their cash cow is the massive tourist/vacationer crowd that hits Lake Goodwin and Lake Ki when the temperature exceeds 60 degrees. That means nothing is too flavorful, and the chili fries are as spicy as...eh, my similes tend to offend, so let's just say the chili cheese fries are more of a meaty Velveeta poutine, really. Everything on the regular menu is mostly safe and approachable, except for the ever-changing specials board. A three-star joint that could be four, with some minor changes.So why one star? Simple: an employee keeps a dog tied up outside in the yard, by the outside tables. This dog seems very lonely and sad on his short (maybe four-foot) rope, with no comfort, toys or shelter. He deserves better. He needs a bath, for starters. He needs something to do besides bark at customers. He wants a happier, cleaner, gentler place to be. To the dog owner: He's been a good dog, waiting for you all day in the dirt with nothing soft to lay on, no escape from rain or sun and maybe three positions he can put his body in without strangling himself. The one time you came out to tell him to be quiet, I was stupefied...he actually wagged his tail to see you! God that's sad.Your treatment of that poor old beast ruined my meal, my entire experience there. You could have served me aged filet with foi gras and mushrooms, fiddle heads with morels, fresh peas and thyme in a light wine and caper sauce, and potatoes Anna, with cardamom ice with almond twuile for desert... and I would have given you the same damned one star review. Fix that, please. It's not on him; it's on you.I leave you this curse, Burger Bonehead, whoever you are: if you blame or punish your dog for this in any way, nothing you do for the remainder of your so-called life will ever, ever, ever succeed. Ever. You will die unfulfilled and neglected, like your pet. If this angers you, congratulations: you ARE cursed. But, if this instead motivates you to take better care of gentle, innocent souls like your pooch that depend on you for their every happiness, then no worries: no curse. Have fun with that.Recommended? Maybe...as soon as they quit bringing their pets to work and neglecting them publicly.

Tasty food (I had a cheeseburger & fries, but mostly enjoyed my wife's seasoned waffle fries), and really personable service. The food seems to be prepared to order, so it's fresh and hot. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to eat here, but it's great when you're going to be out that way

Country Burger appears closed. If you call, they aren't answering the phone and recording directs you to a website that will not allow you to order food.Thank you

Country Burger has improved immensely.The quality of the food has greatly improved.Service is very fast and friendly.I'm happy to say,"It is my go to burger place again".

Cool little country drive in. Stopped for lunch after some fishing. Wife and I had burgers, fries, rings and sodas. The line was to the street, which isn't hard here but moved quickly. We ordered and made lots of requests and each request was noted and delivered. The person taking our order even went to the trouble of re-ringing our order making our order two combo meals instead of the ala cart order we placed. The food came out hot and fresh. We sat in the back patio area as the indoor area was closed. Nice outdoor seating. The fries were good, the onion rings were really good and the burgers were decent. The quality of the burger and toppings was fine, however the hamburger patty had a char flavor that was a bit too strong.

I would have given them 5 stars, but they changed the fries and the normally delicious chicken sandwich was 2 chicken strips, good, but not the same. I'm being easy on them because rumor has it, they are in the process of obtaining new management. The root beer shake was yummy and the gentlemen who took order and the other who brought the food were so kind and sweet. Hope they get to continue working here if rumors are true. Most importantly, please bring back the crispy battered fries, not a fan of the skinny crinkles. Btw I've been coming to this restaurant for at least 30 years so I hope it will be able to remain open.

I've been waiting 2 years to try this out!!! Ever since I moved in to the area. They temporarily closed during the pandemic and The Baked Cafe (from Camano Island) took it over. Ingredients are SO good. The quality is great. I got tots and tried the mushroom bacon Swiss cheeseburger. It is a little greasy but I think it was great for the vibes of a good American burger. Service was great. Everyone who worked there was so excited to be there. Right now they have limited hours 4-8pm but I've been mainly getting updates from their Instagram on all things new. Great way to kick off the summer!

My husband and I tried the new Country Burger tonight. It was amazing. Fresh bread and great ground chuck. The flavors were great. We ordered ahead and picked up to bring home. Order was ready and hot. We will definitely be back.
