Dax’s Bar & Grill

I have an idea… how about the bartender NOT turn down the volume on the songs she doesn’t like that the customers have paid for? Every friggin song she didn’t like she turned the volume down, and turned it back up for songs she and her friends liked and/​or purchased. I think I might purchase and play some fucked up song, via the Internet when I’m not there, over and over and over just to prove a point. Leave the volume at one setting for everyone’s song purchases. Maybe I don’t like YOUR music!

Bartenders provide great service but have seen the owner be a complete dick to them… Sucks for them that he’s so rude because they do a great job.

Two stars because the bartender was horrible. The woman refused the serve my friend, who was dead sober, because he wanted to pay cash. What??? This made absolutely no sense to me. The line was basically out the door because the service was sooooo slow.
I rated an extra star because the karaōke dj is awesome! I sang Radiohead and played the guitar.
This place has the potential to be a rock star bar. Replace the bartender immediately.

The bartender took 8 min to ask what we wanted to drink and another 10 to bring them out. The bartender was also the cook. The burger had no taste and the panini was over cooked and the the pasta salad was sitting in some kind of soup or water. Overall I would not come back here and will tell all to do the same.

The bartender decided that after her boyfriend who I was with ordered drinks and I didn’t want it that I didn’t need served. She made up an excuse by saying I cursed a lot but I beg to differ. Her Ignorance and lack of professionalism is the reason I will turn all of my friends away from this dive bar with a terrible bartender. I’ve already contacted the better business bureau on the company’s in violation.

great food, great kind fast service, tons of beer to choose from, good drinks.

My boyfriend and I were deciding where to get a burger and I remembered my trusted Unilocal reviews saying Dax’s was the place to go. I had passed by several times too afraid to go inside for fear it would be a dumpy local dive bar, but I was pleasantly surprised! The place has the cutest patio that I never saw due to the direction I always drove down Lee. It was about 6:30pm on a Saturday evening and there were a few people at the bar. The music was pumping and the furniture was nice. We enjoyed THE WORKS burger and a bacon cheeseburger with fries and potato salad as sides. OMG the works is the way to go. It was so big I could barely fit it in my mouth, but I made it work ;) This is definitely not the burger to eat if you want to look cute or are on a first date, but DAMN if you aren’t afraid, try it! I could see us making this a usual spot as I noticed they had Jenga out, two pool tables, and what looked like a space for live music. Thank you Dax’s for blowing my mind!

This is your regular, run of the mill dive bar. I love it. They had a band playing when we stopped in, a pretty good one at that. The service was good – waitresses always checking in, which is nice, especially on a busy night. We will stop in again and hopefully there will be another rockin band :)

Dax’s *used* to be a great place for lunch. they had a great, simple cheeseburger and fries special; made well and very fulfilling. Now, however, all specials are gone and the food preparation is very slapdash. I ordered a grilled ham, advertised as «½ lb of ham on a toasted bun». What I received was a hamburger bun with about 5 thin slices of ham. Fish-​n-​chips were 4 little pieces of breaded cod, but was mostly breading.
Sadly, this has been crossed of the places I recommend for lunch.

Ummm got a burger to go, think it was called ‘pig burger’ ¹⁄₃ burger with ham and cheese and let me tell you it is the shiznitz! Grubbin fries too. Good plc for lunch or dinner!

We never went to DAX Bar & Grill because I had no idea if it was safe to visit with my wife. My son was down from EWU for Hydro weekend and he and I went there for a beer and burger… no problem… it’s a typical old town Richland Bar with the locals playing a lot of pull-​tab games. and throwing the losing tickets on the floor… it’s dark inside with black walls & ceiling. has a small corner stage and dance floor, with ~twenty round tables with four (tall) chair set-​ups… food was typical mid-​west-​bar fare and was average… the bartender loves to make noise throwing away the empty beer bottles … and that was cool … I will be back with my wife next time.

Good bands no cover charge
Great service what more can you ask for?
Oh and the burgers are fantastic!

I really was expecting a lot more from what I read about Dax’s. It’s really just another local bar. The burger was nothing really special and I didn’t find a lot of character to the bar either. The waitress kinda scared me a little but I did like the tall bar stools at the tables.

Scary.
You can go in.
You can be lurked after by some guy drunk in middle of day.
You can drive by and see that those who pose outside on a weekend night look scary. Many motorcycles. Many hanging outside.
Music a bit loud– I like music, but I need a level of safety and class. ** UPDATE Got a mean compliment stating I am the type not wanted. well, be at peace. down a star.

After seeing a couple of burger-​raving reviews of this joint, I had to make an appearance. I originally planned to call in and take out my burger, but as I arrived at the bar in the early evening, I decided to stay.
There were a few people here – all at the bar. The super nice bartender (who I later found out was also the cook), welcomed me in and I told her, «I think I’ll stay a while. Can I have an Alaskan?»
I grabbed a table, watched the b-​ball playoff game, and listened/​watched the early-​evening bar crowd.
I of course went with a burger. When they said they made their own chips, I had to order those as well. So yeah, the draft brew and the meal were the perfect remedy to end the day. And yeah, I have to second Joe & William’s 5-​star ravings and say that my burger was pretty durn good! And to top it off, if you’re going to frequent this place more, use the «Burger Card» they hand out – to get a free meal later.
Take a gander of the photo I snapped of my meal, and just watch the slobber molecules roll down your face.
So, I would say this is a pretty nice bar (not as divey as a dive). I saw a stage inside, and I’ve seen crowds here on the weekend, so their must be some live music on the weekends.
I liked how the bartender greeted a new customer, «What can I get ya that you don’t really want, darlin’?» That’s just plain perfection. Solid 4 – 4.5.

Think of this as the long version of William B. s review. In short, Dax’s has the best burger in town.
I have no idea what they do to make such great burgers. They have a slightly seasoned flavor and are always cooked perfectly. Home made potatos chips are another plus. The big bonus is that the burgers are cheap!
Service is great and there’s plenty to watch on TV. They have a nice, comfortable atmosphere.

Dax’s is pretty small. But what they lack in space they make up for in the company they keep, the great live music they book and wonderful bar food. If you want good seating on the live music days later in the evening, come early! The service is pretty good and every quite friendly. This is a great place to chill and mingle

We moved here after we’d exhausted our desire to stay at Three Margaritas. It happened to be singles night (bring your own guitar!) and the music (live) was really, really loud. The prices were pretty reasonable, though you should note that it *is* the kind of establishment that serves PBR forties and if you order a water it shows up in a bottle for some reason.
If it hadn’t been so loud, it would have been a pretty decent place to hang around on a Thursday night. The waitresses were both pretty cool… maybe I don’t go to the right places, but I hadn’t seen anyone in TriCities with so many tattoos or piercings before. They had just refinished the outside of the building, so everyone was forced to use the backdoor and catch a whiff of Thompson’s waterseal every so often. The bathrooms are also pretty filthy.
