Essentially the official sports bar of Husky football, it goes without saying that The Ram attracts its share of die-hard fans.
January 04, 2005

In Short
The Ram serves microbrews and a wide variety of American fare to university students and older sports fans seeking the kind of charisma only a youth-frequented place can provide. Burgers, fries and cable sports, but come game time, the bar can get just as raucous as the real thing. Ramburgers include Bourbon Black Jack, seasoned with pepper-jack cheese and Jack Daniel's Dijon mustard. The Sumo Burger comes topped with pineapple and teriyaki sauce.

Good hangout spot
May 04, 2009
(4.0 / 5 stars)

This is a nice, laid-back atmosphere to meet friends for happy hour or dinner. The bar area gets very loud and crowded during games, which makes it a fun atmosphere for the sports fan. Food is good. Love the Husky Burger - I always end up making two meals out of it!

All around great place to eat
December 22, 2008
(4.0 / 5 stars)

I go here when I visit my brother at the UW. They have great service, an awesome made on site rootbeer (beer and other drinks are excellent as well) and amazing food. Prices are moderate (but can be pricey if your a college student) and well worth what you get. The burgers are tasty and they have a bread pudding pudding to die for-warning- served in a large portion!! (or the chocolate cake!) 8) I've recommended this place to tons of friends and a few family members as well. I almost always end up taking food home with me-food portions are on the larger side, so order apps with that in mind!!!

Good food

I've eaten at the Ram several times. The atmoshpere is collegiate and the food is good. I typically have a salad or burger and have not been dissapointed yet. I ate there about a month ago and had one of the best waitresses ever. A great place to eat if your in U Village!

Nice atmosphere, horrible customer service
May 05, 2008
(1.0 / 5 stars)

I went there for lunch on a Friday and the greeter was very unprofessional; look, attitude and conversation wise, called corporate and the general manager to that store called me back on a Monday and seemed very rude. They were asking about my complaint and 100% was for the employee instead of wanting to take the time to listen to my experience. I felt more attacked then listened to. Food was ok but over priced. I would not recommend it to anyone and I will not ever eat there again.

Pros: lots of TVs... good for games
Cons: customer service was aweful

Average Food but Terrible Customer Service
February 20, 2008
(1.0 / 5 stars)

The resturaurant looked nice but my experience quickly went downhill when it took 10 mins for a waiter to even notice that we had been sitting there. I had to get our own menus. My food didn't come as I ordered it. While we were sitting there I kept seeing other customers going up to the waiters and asking for things like refills and the check. The food was mediocre and I would never reccommend it to anyone.

Pros: nice looking inside, parking
Cons: lazy service

Over priced for below average tasting food
December 22, 2007
(1.0 / 5 stars)

I really do not see what the hoopla is all about regarding this chain of restaurants. The food is below mediocre for the price they charge. Their lunch menu on the weekends has prices starting at $8.99 and that's for an appetizer!! My daughter ordered a teriyaki chicken sandwich, which was overdone (hard and tough) and my clam chowder tasted straight from a can. If you are desperate or just have money to burn and want to patronize a noisy place with unexciting tasting food, try this chain. Personally, I refuse to be a lemming.

Pros: None
Cons: Food, Prices

Good Beer! OK food and large crowds
October 28, 2007
(3.0 / 5 stars)

Sign up on their web site for the MVP Club, and get a coupon for a free hamburger plus the usual birthday dessert deal. The Blonde is very tasty, but the Buttface Amber Ale is the winner. There is good beer on tap at The Ram. This place can get packed in both the family style dining area and the large bar section; so beat the crowds and get on the waiting list early. The hamburgers are the way to go. They aren?t fantastic, but they are pretty darn good after a few beers. It?s simply medium quality American style food in a casual setting with good beer. If you enjoy beer then you definitely want to give The Ram a try.

Pros: Good Beer, Free U-Village Parking
Cons: Long wait list

Good beer, overpriced food
August 31, 2007
(3.0 / 5 stars)

Living close to U-Village, I have been to The Ram quite a few times. It has good beer and pretty good food, but the food is definitely overpriced. Another con is that it is pretty much always crowded. Their Thai Chicken salad is pretty good, but is also like $12 or $13.

Put you name in - then take care of your shopping
February 28, 2007
(3.0 / 5 stars)

This is definitely a fun place to go when you feel like celebrating. The Ram is infamous for their Mile High Mud Pie and if someone in your party manages to eat the whole thing themselves it?s free! The atmosphere is especially exciting on Husky game nights and packed with UW students and alumni. The Ram doesn't take reservations though, so make sure and come early to put your name in.

Pros: Can accommodate large parties
Cons: Long waits on weekends and game nights

Decent Beer, Terrible Food
February 05, 2007
(3.0 / 5 stars)

Their food is WAY too expensive for the amount you recieve. We ordered the appetizer sampler (it sounded big on the menu) and it wasnt. The beer was pretty good, the mixed drinks I had were OK. Overall, there is much better in the UDistrict for brewery/restaurants. Have eaten here a few times, wasnt impressed either time.

Pros: $1 beer specials
Cons: Food, Prices
