Nuttys junkyard Grill in
Arlington (WA)

I was told about this place via a co worker. Says he used to go here 2-3 times a week when he was working close. So I decided why not and glad I did. Food was amazing, and the onion rings are probably top three in my book. Burgers are a smash style and are seasoned to perfection, juicy too. As I was sitting and waiting for my food I was combing through the other reviews of this place and notice alot where abouts the wait time. Guess what its not fast food yall, its hand made. You want fast go to Mcy'Ds. The only thing that is kinda a bother is the parking, there is none, had to park across the street but oh well. So keep that in mind when you visit

The Burgers from Nutty's are why we drive for food!!! Well crafted from the choice of beef (Double R Ranch), down to how they cooked and prepared 'em -- these burgers kicked our hometown favorites patooty! Leisurely 2-hour, Sunday drive for a choice burger. Worth it. ✨️

Overall the place is good. I want to specifically review this experience today. We came in at 12:10 we quickly ordered two chicken clubs with minor modifications no tomato, no cheese and a side of fries with a drink. Two sandwich sandwiches, butter, chicken with a side of fries and a drink. We have now been sitting here for 25 minutes and I had to go and ask when our food was going to be ready and they had it on the next ticket. Mind you we got here right before the lunch rush we ordered before everybody else and we saw somebody walk right in front of us that was behind us in line that came in after us with two boxes of food. That is absolutely ridiculous. I’m not trying to tell anybody how fast they need to go but when people are standing around moving like ants and we have people getting their orders faster behind us and it’s because you guys aren’t flowing correctly or working together correctly that’s absolutely. I will be choosing many other burger places because of this experience now my whole idea of nuts and how good the restaurant is has been diminished by this experience. Get some better staff You’re killing a great restaurant.

Thus place is fantastic! If you to be surrounded by car memorabilia while eating delicious food, this is the place to be!

This place is wonderful, the food is great and I would most definitely be back here again.

Had a very good experience here. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and served hot. Staff was polite and attentive. Ambience was nice and comfortable. Worth the price. Recommended!

Lots of Hype, honestly? Wasn’t impressed. Very greasy, mushrooms and onions on burger tasted burnt, soggy old lettuce. Onion rings were probably the best thing they have to offer but were also overcooked. Tasted like they don’t change there oil out. $50 for 3 burgers, rings, fries, way better options out there for less $…

We found this little gem in Arlington while visiting my son. The atmosphere is funky, the service is spot on and the food is great and reasonably priced! My son and his girlfriend had never been...I think they found their burger joint! Unfortunately I didn't get many photos because my phone died!

Being there for the first time was amazing. The onion rings were top notch. The burgers were fire. Fries were a little too fried, but still tasty! Atmosphere was total family vibes and it was dope.

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere. Great spot to dine in and grab a bite to eat. Service is a little slow when they get busy.

My boyfriend and I’s first time there our total was 42 dollars we ordered two burgers and two milkshakes… okay so we expected fries to be included at that price but when we get our food there was no fries, my chicken was pink in the middle and his burger patty was thin while also charging 4 extra dollars for another patty on top of that. The barbecue sauce was extremely sour and the mustard/ketchup was expired. I’m sad to say I expected it to be better due to what I’ve heard but I was very disappointed and couldn’t even finish my chicken sandwich because it was way too pink in the middle. The shakes were amazing though.

I have eaten here many times over the years and have always loved the food until a visit about a month ago. I always rave about this place, and had friends in town from out of state who were excited to try it. We ordered lunch for 4 people, including burgers, fish and chips, fries and onion rings. All of the food was burnt and tasted horrible. Fries and onion rings were burnt, fish and chips burnt, even the burger buns were burnt on the outside (which I don't even understand how that happens.). It was embarrassing to have to throw food away and disappoint my friends visiting. I don't know how anyone working in the food industry couldn't recognize the burnt smell, or why food would ever be served like this. Like I said, I have had dozens of great meals here.....but I don't think I will be back after this experience.

Visited from another state and saw this gem on our search. We're car people, so it was an immediate yes. The decor, building, and atmosphere - 5 stars. Very well done. Menu names brought a giggle or two as well. Absolutely loved that the garage doors were open to enjoy the beautiful Fall weather. Burgers were very messy. Delicious, but messy. The meat had a wonderful taste. We had fries and onion rings and they were delicious. More did than we could eat. Don't forget the milkshake, it's a must! The service lacks care. Maybe the girl taking and delivering orders was having a bad day, but she didn't smile once our entire visit. We tried to joke, smile, and lighten the mood, but she was not having it. She treated the next few customers the exact same way and they were very nice as well. I wish I would have gotten her name to bring it to their attention. Hopefully that was a one off situation. Otherwise, a good choice to eat.

Went there 10/8/25 after reading the reviews on fish and chips. Ordered 3 orders of fish and chip, three milkshakes and onion rings. This came to $100, the worst meal I have ever had. The onion rings were just burnt old grease and the fish and chips were saturated with burnt grease, soggy and greasy fries. The milkshakes were not bad. But if I hadn't paid before I received the meal I would have refused to pay. This was a birthday dinner for my wife and I don't know how they stay in business.

⭐☆☆☆☆ (1 star) I was very disappointed with our visit to Nutty’s Grill. One of my family members has specific food restrictions, and the restaurant could not accommodate her at all. What made it worse was the lack of professionalism — we overheard staff telling someone to pretend to be the manager before he came over to talk to us. The cashier even mentioned our food request to another customer in line as if taunting us. It was uncomfortable and disrespectful. I truly expected better treatment and understanding from a restaurant that serves the public.

I had been looking forward to trying this place for a while, but my experience left me pretty disappointed. I ordered the chicken burger, and unfortunately it was bland and underwhelming. It tasted like someone just slapped something together in 2 minutes, rather than something made with care. The fries were okay when dipped in the house sauce, so that part wasn’t terrible. For the drink, I specifically asked whether it was made with real berries only. The staff confirmed “yes.” But what arrived was more like a milk-berry shake thick, milky, and with no distinct berry flavor. What made it worse: I’m lactose intolerant, so drinking that was uncomfortable (and adding insult to injury, it wasn’t what I expected) The venue itself is nice, pleasant ambiance, reasonably clean, but that’s unfortunately the only redeeming quality. Overall, it was not a good experience. They should have at least refunded the drink, since it was nothing like what I asked for or expected.

Delicious burgers in a fun environment. Pretty large portions, too. Stopped by on the way back to Seattle from a hike, and the milkshakes were exactly what we needed!

Tastier than a smoked muskrat. I got the Shelby Bleu and it was delicious. My wife enjoyed the Smoke out. The memorabilia is amazing and the staff is fantastic. We stopped here while in town for my father in laws celebration of life and this was a fantastic place to take our minds off of things for a bit.

As part of our bicycle trip we found this great burger joint just past Arlington. There we a number of other cyclists parked here. We split a 1/2 pound “Dual” burger and a side of onion rings. Both were finely prepared. The onion rings were probably the best we had ever had. The atmosphere was really cool. Everything was so clean. We really enjoyed eating at the outside picnic tables. Highly recommend!!

This spot has such a unique and lively vibe! I went for lunch with a friend to explore it, and the atmosphere was fantastic, with plenty of interesting decor and details throughout the restaurant. Parking was a bit of a headache, limited and chaotic but despite the crowd, we managed to snag a seat. The food? Absolutely incredible! Staff were really kind and welcoming too. Pricing was reasonable!

It's worth the wait! The lines often long to order, but the burgers are juicy and delicious, and the onion rings are off the chart! The atmosphere is so fun, even the one bathroom is decked out! I had the Trunk Junk. You gotta be hungry for a burger this big and full of flavor! OMG! My wife had the Shelby Blue. She usually offers me a bite for my review. She was not sharing this tasty burger! She said it was absolutely delicious! My granddaughter had the Small Block. I asked her what she thought, and her response was, "Awesome, delicious, flavorful!" My wife and I shared the onion rings. Hands down, these are the best I believe I have ever had. Great crunchy rings and perfect amount of onion to ring ratio! I had a few of my granddaughters fries. They make them fresh in house, the boxes off potatoes line the wall towards the bathroom. I wished I had a second stomach, I would have eaten more. Only one suggestion, have a wash station to wash hands after, so you don't have to wait for the one bathroom. It's off the beaten path, but clearly, people are finding it. So delicious! The handmade shakes are so thick and flavorful. I had orangescicle, my wife had raspberry, and my granddaughter had oreo. We all agreed, these were true ice cream shakes. OMG good!

I had a buddy recommend this place and we decided to give it a shot today. The burger was big, flavorful, and tasty. The fries were really good home style and a good amount. The onion rings were really good as well and a good amount as well. The Strawberry Oreo shake I had was delicious and an actual milkshake. I will be coming back often as it brings back nostalgic memories of old school burger joints. I can’t wait to try the fish n chips and BLT as well.

Very interesting place to experience after visiting Granite Falls and Big Four Ice Cave. The food we ordered seems a bit dry. Burgers are huge but not as juicy as desired. Milkshake is thick and highly recommended.

Very busy, but worth the wait. Dual Quad was an amazing burger. Strawberry shake was perfect. Espresso shake was the best we’ve ever had. Although some reviews of the onions are not great, they are amazing. They are beer batter, so there is breading and a perfect golden brown color. Fries and ranch were so good! Overall 5/5 for everything. Depending on the day it’s not going to be the fastest, but as their sign says, it is not fast food.

Had a very pleasant experience overall. Food is awesome and delicious. Dining area is an open unique and space. Service and servers are pleasant to converse with. Ordering food was easy with a telling menu of what you're ordering. One small issue is that they have a bee problem there. Just a heads-up, if you have allergies towards bee stings.

A hidden gem! Fantastic burger place! The decor made my visit particularly memorable. We visited during the lunch hour on a weekday and there were plenty of places to sit down and we didn't even have to wait in line. The bleu cheese burger was excellent; the cheese was plentiful and I could taste it in every bite. The onion rings were thick and tasty especially with the house special sauce. I can't wait to go again!

Awesome little place, wonderful burgers! We are new to the area and saw this place on the way home. Good size menu, really tasty burgers and chicken, and the best onion rings - the batter is light and crispy and the onions are nice big slices! The Milkshake was hands-down the best I've had in a long time with really true tasting caramel. We will be back!
