This place is everything that it should be and more, aside from my singular complaint being simply that they could use a little more space, because two people working and two people inside is about all that works without snuggling much too closely with strangers. The employees are friendly and always greet each customer and then come back around and take orders accordingly, and they're always willing and able to offer a recommendation or help with confirmation on sizes or detail is in question. They move efficiently to keep waiting to a minimum, but the food never suffers for speed, even when they're busy. The cheese curds are scrumptious, and the plethora of sauce options really take care of everyone, which is cool, and the sizes seem perfectly proportioned for a single diner versus a few sharing the side. I have yet to eat anything from here that wasn't well beyond my expectations in both flavor/quality and size, and while it's not the least expensive place in town, the ratio of cost to quantity seems to favor the customer every time, while still keeping with quality ingredients. The staff also seems happy to be there every time I've gone in, which is a shortly underrated but extremely important detail in food service, at least in my opinion. I would recommend Wauna Burger over and over again!!

Literally a hidden gem for the KP My family loves this place! It is a warm fulfilling burger for a family night. A wonderful club sandwitch for a hearty lunch. The ingredients are all “real” and anyone we have over and have it for the first time always exclaims “WOW this is GOOD” as they inhale their burger in .5 seconds. We love Wauna Burger and hope to have them around for years to come.

I’ve been here before, and each visit has delivered a consistently tasty experience. But this time, I ventured into uncharted territory: the monster bacon cheeseburger. And let me tell you, this isn’t just a burger, it’s an experience. At first glance, it’s deceptively simple, just meat, cheese, bacon, sauce, and a bun. But somehow, they elevate these classic ingredients into pure magic. Every bite hits all the right notes, savory, smoky, cheesy, leaving your taste buds doing a happy dance. It was so good, I found myself back just two days later for another round. I’ve sampled burgers from coast to coast, and this one may just top my list. The flavors are so intense, I wish I could devour two or three at once. But make no mistake, this beast of a burger will leave you both satisfied and stuffed! If you’re craving burger bliss, highly recommend this spot and their unforgettable monster bacon cheeseburger. You won’t regret it!

They catered my husband's 50th birthday party and everyone raved about the food. The wagyu beef sliders were delicious. I think the burger buns were croissant rolls because they were buttery and soft. Another hit was the red potato salad. Chris was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The prices were very reasonable as well. I can't recommend them enough. * I edited my review to add that Wauna Burger makes a lot of dishes for catering that are not on the menu. Chris worked with me to find the best options for my party. I really appreciated how flexible they were.

Amazing “off-the-beaten-path” restaurant. The burgers are phenomenal and paired with the tots and onion rings they were crispy and tasted great. Picture of the BLT because the bacon to tomato/lettuce ratio was outrageous!

Delicious and juicy burgers, crisp onion rings. will go back!! I got the cheese curds, onion rings, and regular cheeseburger. I’ve eaten all across the country and honestly, this is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Outdoor seating available.
