ram restaurant and brewery

we used to really like this place then they changed the menu and took off some of the better items

always great service and excellent food!

the pizzas are really good. my husband had regular crust & i had gluten free cauliflower crust. both were amazing. great choices or create your own. also love the barbicoa tacos too. the service is always excellent. we love amy, she's the best.

this place should be called dick’s last resort with how pleasant it is to be “served” by this staff. i’d rather attend the funeral of my first born son than dine in this establishment.

"dayna" was our server & she was unattentive & very rude. she shouldn't be in the service industry, as her miserable attitude is a blight to the ram, in fact any service-related industry. we spoke with a manager, noah. he listened, but was indifferent & offered no consolation. he vaguely apologized for dayna's behaviour, but didn't say he'd take any corrective action. i've been here myriad times & it's always been great; but it takes just one horrible visit, with zero accountability, to ruin the brand...

went here a few nights ago with my fiance. she got the steak and i get a sergeant pepper burger. ended up getting the worst food poisoning i've ever had in my life 😰😨🤮. violently ill and agonizing stomach pain galore. nearly was rushed to the er as i thought i was literally dying. called restaurant the next day, was promised a return phone call from manager about getting a refund for my tainted meal. no return phone call or even an apology. safe to say i will never eat here again and i would advise others to steer clear as well. do yourself a favor and eat at home or somewhere else. 🤮🤮🤮

go somewhere else on ruston way. seriously. horrible service. took over an hour to get our food. our server didn't refill our drinks. the bathroom wasn't clean. the only good thing is the view of the water.

compliment . to the chef. i was taking pictures outside of the incredible view when i saw a very beautiful chef from establishment outside on her break. ive never eaten at the ram didnt plan on it until i asked her what was good to eat. her passion for food made me hungry. she spoke very highly of the management as well as her accent from mississippi was very charming i knew if she was going to be cooking my food would have a little southern love in it. i believe her name was nicole i would just like to say thank you for introducing me to the buttface world!!

a sunny, sunday afternoon brought the crowds out to this popular tacoma spot, and after a short wait, i sat down to celebrate my survival with ram’s signature proud mary.

service sucks.. i am considering cutting my toe nails or scrubbing a toilet or two...the one thing i am not considering is going back to the ram in tacoma. i could talk about the food but then i would be lying, because the service was so piss poor on the front end that i felt that russian roulette with a derringer would be a safer endeavor. in the next few lines, i hope to demonstrate how the management at the ram successfully took “service” out of the phrase of “customer service”.
i have been a happy customer since 1992 when i used to go to the university district store almost weekly and enjoyed almost every moment. what a contrast to today! when we show up at the ram today, we meet at the front door where we stumble across a hostess in street clothes who is in the vestibule of the doorway. we were able to figure who she might be because she had a computer tablet in hand, i guess no one else has these. i am fairly certain that a game of tic-tac-toe was in full swing on said tablet because as people waited 10 to potentially 45 minutes, it was hard to fathom the seating system with half the restaurant empty. as one stewed in the waiting area, you were either treated to people bustling to and from the pisser, or looking at the backs of management working a status board representing mostly empty tables.
after about 20 minutes, we were sat in a beautiful table...psyche! and there we sat. watching a myriad of staff moving to and from delivering drinks, food, and talking with customers; my table has a board in it with 42 years of growth rings! after about 10 minutes of dawdling, i checked the side of the table for a telltale red “x” indicating that we had the plague, or if my three year old had crapped her pants. we continued to see others get service, but after about 5 minutes more, it became apparent that the only that would be accomplished was that we would witness the progression of our age.
in the end, we exited stage right and handed the manager our heavily pursued menus that might as well have been written in an obscure dialect of mongolian. we also gave her the bill from the previous customer and judging by the lack of tip, we were not alone in our service quality appreciation. we found another restaurant that not only had great food, but seemed to do something that the ram lost. care.
i have a suggestion for the management at the ram in tacoma. i like all of your great posters and “flair” (see office space, 1999) however, you should use your fantastic marketing talents to create a “for sale” sign. move over kenny rodger’s rosters and chi chi’s, the ram is going to join you. i’ll be back when it’s a fat burger or a red robin.

decent place. a friend of mine (also a foodie) and i, visited ram on 03-07-2013. after seeing so many mixed reviews, i decided we would try it out and see. the first thing i noticed was the amazing view of the waters of puget sound, at sunset. the hostess was kind, courteous, professional, and accommodating...i wish i asked her name for this review. our server (rae) was fabulous. she was personable and on her 'a' game. i was unsure of what beer i wanted, due to some of the reviews i have heard on their beer, so i asked for a taste. the bartender came from the bar to deliver the sample of their ipa and asked if i had any questions.
i ordered the "faburge burger" and my companion ordered the french dip sandwich. we also ordered the beer cheese and ham soup. for drinks, i ordered the ipa and my friend ordered the whipped baileys martini. i thought the burger and the french dip were decent. we both loved the beer cheese and ham soup. our coleslaw was well made. my friend loved her drink. i would call the ipa decent. overall, the food and drink, i would classify as quite decent and tasty. the service was superior. the ambiance and layout were great...and the view was awesome. i would definitely come here again and gladly spend my money.

my past.. maybe i made the wrong decision...

probably never going back. i have been there twice, and both times have been disappointed with both service and food. if it had been great food, and so so service, i would have been fine, probably gone back. but the food is terrible, had the "house made vegetarian burger" (as a life long vegetarian, i have had many different "burgers") and this was by far the worst i have ever had. service is always slow, and both servers i have encountered had no knowledge of the menu or drinks whatsoever. would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. pity they have to take up such a beautiful spot on the waterfront.

best burgers in town !!. this is always a favorite for university of puget sound students because of the bar/restaurant element ! it is always wonderful to go when it is warm enough to sit outside in the summers and of course they always have something that will interest you !! the tvs are playing a wide variety of sports and it is family oriented.

i went there with two co-workers expecting a seafood and steakhouse and what we got was a tgifriday's experience. this is the first time i have been disappointed by urban spoon.
