Big T's Diner

I went here for the Superbowl. had their All-I-Could-Eat Hot Wings. So they had several flavors: Mild Buffalo, Hot Buffalo, Teriyaki, Burbon, BBQ, Thai, Sweat Hot, Blow your Brains out Hot, Hell Hot...  I tried Buffalo Hot, Burbon, Teriyaki and Sweat Hot. My Favorite was the Sweat Hot.

My wife, Aunt and I had a Wing-Off...  My wife had 1, Aunt had 34 and I had 41... So I guess I like them. They were good, and they were local. These were Real Wings too, the ones with bones in em.

On with the Burgers. So, they have burgers, and some more burgers, and just a tad bit more burgers to choose from. They also have Sammiches. Haven't tried them yet. I also hear they make a mean breakfast.

They make there own Jalapeno Buns. I went with a burger that had pepper jack, jalapenos and some meat. I can't believe how big it was.

The second time I got the skamania burger. Ham, Egg, Bacon, Burger and some green stuff. Too big to fit in mouth, had to remove green stuff. You can get tators, french fries, or onion rings for your side.

Been in a couple of times.

First time was for breakfast, I had the French Toast...made with pumpkin spice bread!!  Very rich, and didn't end up being my cup of tea really, but I totally appreciate outside-the-box thinking on menus.

Super Bowl Sunday, they had an all-you-can-eat wing special for $10.  I don't eat wings (meat on the bone creeps me out, post-vegetarian-stress-disorder) but the Hubby does so of course we go!  They had about 8 different sauces to choose from, and the ones I tasted (using a fry as a buffer) were pretty dang good.  Hubby was in wing heaven, and they seemed a bit taken aback that he managed to go through about 3.5 baskets (like 35 wings)...guys, don't throw out an all-you-can-eat challenge if you're not ready for the challengers, am I right??  Hubby didn't eat anything else and there's not a whole lot of meat on a wing, it takes a bunch to fill up the Hubby!

I had the classic cheeseburger, and it was delicious.  Cooked perfectly, bun toasted, toppings fresh.  It comes with just mayo and I found it didn't need any additional condiments, which hardly ever happens.  Fries were crisp and perfect to my liking.

The atmosphere is, well, bad.  The booth seats are ripped, the service shelf place is right in the front/middle of the restaurant, it's badly in need of a make-over.  Get over it though.  The friendly service and family feel will make up for it.  There's two tv's in the front section, and windows everywhere for you to soak up the beautiful Gorge views, so just stop looking at the stupid ripped seats, ok?!

Bonus -- they serve their water in GIANT glasses.  Finally, a place that gets it!!  I wasn't constantly running out of water, and that was very...refreshing.

We just moved to town and with Big T's being within walking distance, my husband and I thought we would have a Sunday morning breakfast out.Unfortunately, I can not review the food here as we were left at our table (with only 2 other tables of patrons) for 20 minutes while the waitstaff ignored us and the cooks looked directly at us (we had that "can we get some help?" posture) with only backs turned towards us. Our waitress was too busy chatting to the other waitress on shift to take our order. On our way out the door, our waitress did not even recognize us and said "thank you, have a nice day!". I guess I502 is really affecting their staff already.
It is too bad that Big T's did not give us the courteous service they seem to give so many reviewers here. No matter how close Big T's is to our new home, we will not go back due to the lack of customer service alone.
