What People Are Saying About XXX Rootbeer
Featured Review

The Scene – As the last remaining outpost of this beloved '50s-era chain, XXX almost feels like sacred ground--or at least a treasure-filled time capsule. A vintage muscle-car theme runs through every aspect of the decor, from the antique-glass nitrous dispensers lining the classic Coke machine to the touches of chrome and hundreds of auto photos decorating the bright, bustling dining room. Servers are consistently good-natured and helpful, but can get overwhelmed by the crowds. – – The Food – All that nostalgic charm wouldn't matter if the grill fell short, but the…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Saturday nights attract muscle-car fetishists who proudly park their vehicles where everyone can admire them.
- Where to Sit:
- Unless you're with a large group, consider grabbing a seat at the counter, marvel at the original menus overhead and chat with the locals.

Went there today to see the Convertible car show, decided to have a burger and Root Beer. The burger was VERY good, the Root Beer was some of the best I have ever had and I drink Root Beer on a regular basis. The service and friendliness of the Waiters & Waitresses was by FAR the BEST Service I have EVER received!!!!! I will be tellimg my friends about the Triple X Root Beer in Issaquah. Thanks everyone for a GREAT afternoon.

First of all I had to rate one star, that was the least I could rate this place. If I could I would rate them minus a million stars! Second, I had to join to even be able to leave a rating, and I had to jump through a bunch of hoops, I did so for others.
I took my client here, as it is located next to Virginia Mason, she had a apt there. So I thought she might like it , as it is Vintage from the 50's.
At first the (I believe manager, might be the owner to, not sure) was very friendly and welcoming.
We sat down, and dedcided to split a Philly Steak and cheese sandwich that comes with fries. It was almost $12.00, also a rootbeer float to split it, as suspected it was very big. Price $6.50 roughly.
I was watching them as they made it, after it was all made, the guy poured it into another cup, all of it sloshing together, and it all mixing together and going everywhere. I asked if he planned to serve it to us that way, as nicely as possible, yet perplexed. I asked if they could just fill two cups up halfway??? Which you would have thought was , my asking to have my car waxed and detailed, at first I was told they do not do that?
So they did, yet I was made to feel badly.
Then our food came, in two baskets, it was not very good, the rootbeer float was amazing, best rootbeer I have ever had and creamy and smooth soft serve ice cream was great.
The bill came and the sandwich was $14.00 plus, I asked why and was flatly told it is becasue WE SPLIT THE ORDER/SANDWICH??? I said well next time we would just split it ourselfs and not request they do so (thus the extra basket used and a piece of wax paper. I was told to my amazement that there is and would be a $2.00 charge even if they did not split it and we split it ourselfs??? Be like going to Mcdonalds, getting a burger and giving your friend half, and them saying "that will be $2.00 more dollars! I was told flatly IT IS ON THE MENU!!! Over and over. I paid the bill and vowed to NEVER EVER GO THERE AGAIN!!! So for one Philly sandwich a few fries and one rootbeer float it was $24.00. As we were paying, I overheard a customer questioning a charge, and being told "IT IS RIGHT ON THE MENU" He then said, well that is a good way to get people not to return, and the guy flatly said, "well that is your choice". Maybe for a rootbeer float, but me personally I will never return.
Best Root Beer Float Ever

I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat burgers (or fried food) but I do love old cars. This place is fun to come to on the weekends when you want to do something different. The car clubs that show up here are really top notch. And don't forget to get a root beer float. They have the best root beer here that you will ever taste.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. I'd rate this place with NEGATIVE stars given the option. The food was truly awful and the prices are downright offensive given the quality. The food is not worth half the prices they charge, and they nickel and dime you (or rather $3.00 extra charge you) for EVERYTHING. McDonalds is MUCH cheaper and FAR, FAR better, and I'm no great fan of McDonalds mind you.
Ridiculous.
Best I can say given the classic car nostalgia theme is highway robbery.
Once was more than enough. Don't make the same mistake I made. Stay away.
I'm at a loss to accurately describe how horrible this place is.
- Pros: None
- Cons: HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE
