Blazing Onion Burger Company

I occasionally go here with my family and have always been pleased with the food. Simple American fare that is done as expected. The menu has a couple pleasant surprises and my kids appreciate the added touch of putting Goldfish on the Macaroni and Cheese. However, most of time spent here is on Sunday’s during NFL season. The bar personnel are always pleasant and accommodating while the specials are usually interesting.
A good place that I will keep on visiting!

What a pain in the ass. No servers just an iPod that you order from. Overly complicated just so they can save money by not paying waitresses.

This is my «go to» place every time I visit Washington. Let me just say that I have been to TONS of burger places, so I am a huge critic when it comes to burgers. But Blazing Onion is, hands down, the best burger place I’ve ever been to. More specifically, the «Texas Heat» is the best. It’s a burger with pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, salsa, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and chipotle mayo on a jalapeño cheddar kaiser. I get that and ask to add bacon. It’s a pretty big burger packed with flavor and the perfect amount of spice. If you happen to have room for dessert, the salted caramel vanilla crunch cake is a great choice.

Got the classic cheese burger, it was well dressed with all the usual accompaniments, and was juicy and delicious. Also tried their onion rings… they were pretty good as well. Bobs sauce is okay, sorts like thousand island dressing.
I would recommend this place

The food is good but the service at this location needs some work. I’ve been here more than a few times with friends who insist on trying it and every time it has taken 30+ minutes to get drink orders taken and upwards of 90 minutes on my last visit for my food to come and have it be not what I ordered. The only reason for even a 2 Star rating is that the place is clean and obviously has some sort of district management affiliation that at least checks up on the appearance of the place.

Went here a while ago and it wasn’t that great. So, we tried one more time tonight and it was worse! We ordered the Ruben sandwich and it had more fat in the meat than meat. Ordered the ultimate grilled cheese. Usually when ultimate is in the title you think it’s gonna have a lot of cheese, but you couldn’t see the cheese, just top bread and bottom bread. The cheese was so dry it didn’t taste good either. Finally we ordered chili and asked to have it brought out before the meal. Well they didn’t, it came out with the meal and it was cold, and I mean cold! Not luke warm, cold and did not taste good. So, hey we tried once more and now we know not anymore. Bad food. The crew workers were nice and what not, but again the food not so much.

Mandy behind bar was amazing super friendly and personable food was great and the manager Elliot is super friendly too this place is a must

My family and I come here about once a week. The burgers are consistently delicious and so are the fries. My daughter is obsessed with the mac and cheese. Service is always very prompt when you put the sign up. Great place

A very full and busy Saturday night. Dining room is full, people are waiting-​we found space in the lounge. A table for 4, with room for food! The waitress is quick, friendly and keeps coming with more water or anything we have asked for. Had burgers, fish and chips and the salmon fillet sandwich… no one is leaving hungry! A nice experience for sure and the bottomless fries are nirvana!

Good food and gluten free options are available. They don’t have the best burgers in Gig Harbor, but they are good and they are consistently good. Gourmet burger shop packs a bigger bang for the buck, but the sports bar atmosphere at Blazing Onion is inviting and better for a night out with some friends to have some good food and a few beers.

Not a bad place to get a good delicious burger and fries. Good customer service. I like this place. Thumbs up! Would definitely recommend it to friends and family!

One of the top burger joints in the history of burger joints. Stopped in on recommendation and this place does not disappoint in burgers or beer. Great atmosphere and fun place, great for groups, families, and date nights.
Tried their Arrogant Bastard draft, really good .
The peanut curry burger was a combination of Thai and Burger, and if you love both, you’ll love this creation.
Definitely recommend the upgrade to their sweet potato fries (amazing) and have an order of their special dipping sauce for the fries, ketchup is so boring.

First time at a Blazing Onion. When we walked in we were greeted right away. We were not sure if we were supposed to order at the counter or if we could sit down, and he explained to us that we could go in the bar and sit down and have table service so that is what we did. I ordered the Buffalo burger and it was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. My husband enjoyed his meal too and was happy about the beer they have on tap.
Our server was nice, little forgetful, but it was a good experience for us, and when I’m craving a burger I’ll be back.

Let state this one thing first! I have eaten at the Blazing Onion many times since it has opened and have had wonderful food and wonderful service. That being said, I hope that this review get seen by management there.
My wife and I went there last Sunday Nov 1^st at 11 am. We ordered our usual favorites and took our seats. The restaurant wasn’t very busy at all but it still took over 30 minutes to get our food. I finally went and asked when they would be coming. I was told that they were on the grill and that they were waiting for the cheese to melt on our burgers. They arrived at our table shortly after that.
Well I think maybe I shouldn’t have asked because when they got there the meat was under cooked, cool in the center, and because there were 3 pickles, and two large tomato’s piled on the burger, and the bacon that we ordered on it was COLD, it made them down right cold to eat. My wife asked from some tarter sauce for the fries and server said sure and then went off and forgot about it! Why the server had to run the register and tables escapes me too.
So my favorite place to eat had better improve their service and food preparation or they will lose the many dollars that we spend there. Appleby’s has good burger too!

A very nice, clean, and fun restaurant to eat. They have a large dining area with a detached bar area as well. Western motif and a real fireplace too!
I had the oriental chicken salad and it was a little while to come out, but the quality is amazing and the chicken seemed freshly grilled and was a nice sized breast that was tender and grilled over a nice fire and had grill marks on it too! The dressing was not overpowering and the lettuce and vegetables were nice, fresh, and crisp!
I highly recommend this place!

It’s true that your server has the capability of making your restaurant dining experience memorable or one you’d like to forget. Yesterday my wife and I had the pleasure of being served by Lindsay, one of THE best servers it’s ever been our pleasure to enjoy anywhere.
She knew her food, she was very friendly and very likeable, she attended to all details like making sure we had full drink glasses, flatware, and plenty of napkins. She’s obviously someone who loves her jobs and communicates it to her customers.
As for the food, my wife and I both choose chicken sandwiches. My wife had the Grilled Chicken Avocado and I had the Spicy Blackened Chicken (upon Lindsay’s recommendation), both served on ciabatta rolls. My wife liked her sandwich but her complaint was she wished there had been more tomato slices in it she really like tomato. Yes, she could have sent the sandwich back but that’s not how she is. The Spicy Blackened Chicken was great. Very nice heat level. But it was supposed to come with melted provolone cheese. It might have been there, I think I might remember seeing it but I sure didn’t taste it. I don’t think provolone is the right cheese for such a spicy sandwich.
The major problem with all Blazing Onion hot sandwiches – burgers and otherwise – is the way they fail to simply toast their bread inside and out. Every burger I’ve had has had the bottom bun disintegrate just from becoming overly soggy by all the wet stuff above it: meat, cheese, dressing, vegies, salsa. The untoasted, thin slice of bun or roll they pile everything on top of just can’t stand up to it all. This is a very common problem with restaurants, diners, and fast food joints.
The bottom ciabatta roll on my sandwich was gone long before the chicken and toppings were. Thank goodness Lindsay thought to provide us with extra napkins because I needed every one of them and STILL had to wash my hands after I finished my sandwich. That makes for a less-​than-​enjoyable dining experience.
As for the fries that came with the meal, I will say the Blazing Onion knows how to properly prepare fries. They were perfect in every way, which is more than I can see for many restaurants, diners, and fast food joints.
We’ve been to this Blazing Onion three times and, thanks to Lindsay and the overall delicious food, we will be back.

Love this spot! Great burgers! The Buffalo burger is my favorite but the wild boar burger and the Mediterranean Lamb Burger are also delicious. I always get the sweet potato fries as a side. Outstanding. Can be very crowded and a bit loud, but I just avoid it at those times so it’s all good!

Never again, bedlam. Most uncomfortable dining experience I’ve had, starting with parking, continuing with waiting at the one soda fountain to get my drink.
I should say that I prefer a traditional restaurant vs order at the front on the way in.
The burger I had (Home style ranch burger) was ok. The service staff was fine, though the unconventional method put me off.
Think pricey McDonalds environment with better food and no toys for the kids.
Best part was that we had already paid and didn’t have to wait for the check to leave.

Uptown is where they are located so parking is absolutely a BIG problem. However, they have a very interesting menu and the food quality is excellent. The portions are too large but that is hardly a crime. Service is very average. The buildout is pretty nice. It has a sports bar atmosphere but is fine for families.
For an upscale burger place in Gig Harbor, this is it!

After going to JoS A banks, went here as this is a place I wanted to try, since they have Coke products here (They do have the freestyle Coke machine, so thats a plus IMO) Went with a Beer, and that beer was so good! Went with a British Pale Ale and if I wasn’t driving I probably would of had a couple more!
The burger I had was there Buffalo Burger, and it was cooked perfectly, wife had the lamb burger and I did try that– not sure I would get it myself though, but it was decent– I love burger places that offer more then just your average Cow meat burgers.
There is lots of tvs here, so if you want to watch a sporting event, most likely they will have it on, with the volume up.
They only had Chocolate stuff for the deserts, and I dont care much for Chocolate so didn’t go for desert.
