Blazing Onion Burger Company

My date and I dined at this place a few days earlier. The food was all right – nothing impressive. I’ve eaten at this place 2 – 3 times and I wouldn’t recommend this place. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Avocado. I requested no cheese and got sweet potato fries instead of regular fries. My sandwich came on a slim, long plate and it was difficult trying to eat it without spilling food or sauce while sitting on a narrow bench table on high stool chairs.
The chicken sandwich was dripping with the sauce and the avocado slices were sliding around; it was a big mess trying to eat it and I had sauce all over my fingers. I ended up having to pick up the food pieces off the plate with my fingers to eat. Not a very pleasant dining experience with it being a date. The sweet potato fries were very bland; I couldn’t even tell that they were made from sweet potato. I love sweet fries and this was probably one of the most bland, worst sweet fries I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Our server was nice and pleasant; we were just not impressed with the food itself. My date felt the same way and he said that he didn’t want to return back either.

We love to come here for lunch. We sit at the bar with our favorite bar tender Trevor. He makes our visits fun, is an excellent bar tender and is knowledgable about the menu and the company. Blazing Onion is very flexible about menu changes for me as a vegetarian. That is appreciated. Stop by and say hello to Trevor!

I went here to watch the Seahawks game one afternoon. I was met by a friendly greeter who told me that I could order at the front desk or just continue into the spacious bar and be served by the waitstaff. I chose the bar and sat in a chair from which I could see 5 different televisions! It was almost distracting not knowing which to focus upon! A good problem to have in a sports bar. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a burger and upgraded to the Sweet Potato fries. Both were very good and what you would expect at a nice sports bar. All in all, it was a very pleasant place to watch the game with good food and company.

«eh» is how I feel about this place. Drinks and food are overpriced. I’ve been here about a handful of times and it’s never really impressed me or made me excited to come back. Will I eat here again? Probably.

We have come to the Blazing onion a few times and never have been really impressed. The service ok at best and the burgers are average. To me my burger seemed to be over cooked. After reaching for a napkin, we notice I between the stack, there was a some black stuff on one of them. Don’t like the feeling of possibly getting napkins that could have been leftover from another table. Sorry Blazing Onion. We will not be back.

Food was good, once you get past the unconventional ordering at the door. We enjoyed all the burgers we ordered; the blazing onion burger, meatloaf burger, and Beast burgers (comes with Skittles). Wait staff is very nice and even offered us extra orders of fries, which my daughter and wife especially liked. We will definitely come back.

I like the waitresses in the bar. I have been here a few times now and they have always been really friendly. The food is great too. If you are a vegetarian this restaurant has a great black bean burger and all you can eat fries. Oh, and don’t forget desert;)

Great atmosphere and love the food.
Their spicy black bean burger is the best around.
Great service in the bar.

The ordering is awkward in this chain of restaurants. The food is just OK and the service was average. This isn’t my cuppa tea but is probably all right for a lot of people

For an order at the counter and seat yourself place this was pretty good.
Turkey burger– B+ lots of toppings and generous cheese. Not dry like many turkey burgers.
Veggie burger– C– like eating a bun full of rice pilaf.
Classic Burger– B+ like a typical chain burger
Kids pizza– A– large portion and fruit and veggie side dish choices

The Blazing Onion was good. The service was great, however it had a strong chain restaurant feel. It was like a Chili’s and sports bar had a baby, but with food that wasn’t OMG.
I had a chicken burger with onion rings… The plates were fancy, however too small for the burger, so condiments and part of the burger were falling off the plate.
I was driving through on my way to Vancouver and I was looking for something awesome and unique. I would go back and try something new, if I was driving through again. The people were extremely friendly and I loved that about the Blazing Onion.

A little surprised to see so many reviewers
Giving this restaurant a 3 star or less because
Of their ordering process. ?? A little different, but
So what! Great food, great service! One of my
And hubby’s favorite spots! Never had bad food
Or service and we’ve been a few handfuls of times.
Just went last night for early dinner happy hour .
Had grilled fish taco’s and chopped salad with
A glass of Riesling um Yum, again happy as ever.
If you get freaked out by ordering before you sit
Down sit in the lounge area where a server takes
Your order or go someplace else. Food & drinks well worth
Style of restaurant. I also find ambience very
Comfortable and cool, can sit inside or out. I recommend, go :) ps. Would have taken pic of
Food but too busy scarfing it down yum!

When we walked in we were a little surprised by the fact that you order up front and pay first (this makes it difficult to know how much to tip) then we sit down and in the booth behind me I hear the manager scolding one of the employees… I thought this was very unprofessional and feel like there are more appropriate places to do this
But when our food came it was delicious and didn’t take long to arrive… Left full and satisfied

The main oddity is their service model, and I’m not sure it works very well. I think the point of the service model is to reduce order errors and wait time. We’ve received food that wasn’t made as it was ordered and we’ve had more than one occassion where the wait time has been pretty long even though they weren’t busy.
You order at the lobby and receive a tile to put on your table so the server knows where to bring your food. Soda and water is self serve. Your food comes out mostly together if you’re in a large-​ish group (5 – 7 entrees). The servers asks if you want any sauces or condiments after bringing you your food which seems to reduce the effiency of the service model quite a bit. Especially if you’re the kind of person who likes to have your sauces/​condiments before you start eating your meal.
The food is decent. The portions are pretty large. The deserts are huge and they are priced accordingly. One desert can easily feed two people with a sweet tooth or four people who just like a moderate amount of sweets after their meal. If you actually enjoy sportsball while eating you’d probably like it here.

I/​we walked into the restaurant only to be asked if we’d been there before. When we said no the hostess gave us a pair of menus and told us that we place our order here (lobby) or if we were 21+ (which we are) we could go into the bar and be served there. I guess I wasn’t (mentally) prepared for Burger King or McDonald’s style of ordering. I was wanting «restaurant style» service.
I/​we opted to not give it a try and walked out.

Blazing onion hit the mark tonight, great food, friendly staff, ease of ordering, and a clean restaurant. Most folks don’t like the ordering system but frankly I love it, it’s different makes them stand out. and if u want a server their a button push away, having a server check up on me is nice, but sometimes I just want to be left alone with my family. .they get that. .and no pressure to tip, that’s the cool part. .I will be going back!

I have a rough limit to how much I’m willing to pay for a burger. Generally, any burger that’s more than $ 15 is not worth it. So when I happen to be really hungry and order one of their bigger burgers, but even that falls short of expectations, then it’s safe to assume everything else in the restaurant is unnecessarily overpriced.
«The Beast» is a burger that cost me roughly $ 18 after tax and tip. There was a side of fries to accompany the tall burger of bacon and onion rings. I’m not even sure whether that’s any consolation because it just serves as a reminder that I’m paying all this for basically a ton of junk food for lunch. Somebody please remind these people that burgers aren’t that complicated; their prices should be adjusted accordingly.

What do you do after the Hawks win? Get a burger of course. I have not been to this location before but have been to other Blazing onions in the past.
Service was top notch. You order up front which is a little weird but whatever. They come and check on you often and are super pleasant.
Food is pretty tasty. I had the Mac and cheese which is made in house and pretty good. Burgers here are huge and unlimited fry’s can’t be beat.
I also had a chocolate/​banana shake. So good. Real Banana’s and real ice cream. Super thick and good.
I will be coming back here just based on the service I received.

One of my favorite franchises! This was the first blazing onion I have ever tried, like all blazing onions this establishment is clean and tastefully decorated. The staff is friendly and the service is great! Just to add blazing onion is one of the few burger joints that offer alternative meat for there burgers.

Service:
Like all first times, it was a bit awkward; but mainly because you order like you’re at a fast food joint and then sit down and get waited on like you’re at a restaurant. And getting serviced is quite nice…
The waiting staff is very helpful and friendly. It was comforting to see the waiters and waitresses with smile on their faces as they walked around. Happy servers make happy customers.
Our waiter was very helpful (he suggested which dipping sauces paired well with different appetizers: onion petals go nicely with the Sriracha sauce) and very attentive; just an overall nice person. He made our experience a happy one.
Food:
If you like to indulge in gluttonous behavior, then you’re in for a stomach-​bursting treat. There are just so many wonderful-​sounding/​wonderful-​looking items on the menu to choose from…
We began our fatting with bacon-​wrapped jalapeño poppers. They came with this tangy dipping sauce (and plated with lettuce… which also tastes great in the dipping sauce). They had a great kick to them but nothing too overwhelming in the spicy department. They tasted great. I enjoyed sucking out the creamy sauce that was stuffed inside the jalapenos. Mmmmm.
One of the cool «endless» options you can choose is subbing your endless fries with onion rings, onion petals, etc. and then getting the endless fries. I chose the onion rings. Crispy and sharable. They also dip well (the dipping sauces are complimentary).
I went with the Texas heat burger. The bun that they slather this hamburger and all its drippy toppings onto is sensational. The meat was juicy; the sauces were juicy, it was a finger-​slurp-​fest.
Oh, and I had 1 basket of the endless fries. Not very many, but that’s a good thing; you don’t have to worry about wasting fries. I scored a few sweet potato fries in my basket: D WINNING!
Then there came dessert. My hubby was a bit more practical than I was. He wasn’t sure that we could finish their mondo mud pie. My eyes called bullshit on my stomach, and I was really ready to go for the whole pie… but we asked if we could get half of the pie (which we got and devoured… SO. MUCH. YUM). We took the other half to go (we got a small separate container filled with fudge topping). Our waiter was super awesome and put an extra bag of ice in our to-​go bag so that the ice cream wouldn’t melt. My hubby’s only issue with the pie was that there wasn’t enough cookie crust. I was very satisfied with the ice cream ratio of the cake.
Our to-​go mud pie made it through the night in a hotel fridge and we had it for breakfast (because why not?)
Thank you, Blazing Onion, for being so awesome. Be very proud of the waiting staff that you have, because they ARE truly the heroes of our dining experience: D
