Was Katie Schmidt at Notch 8 a mag?
I highly recommend the Philly burger and Nick's amazing pizza. The burger had excellent flavor and was juicy, while the pizza crust was thin and crispy. The service was quick and friendly. View all feedback.

What Suretha Kemp dislikes about Notch 8:
Was one of my favorite places when it opened it was the place we would bring out of town guests to visit for meals! The last couple times extremely disappointing, horrible service, and the food was not at all what it used to be! Hoping for improvement! View all feedback.

The burger was tasty! I liked that the entrance had a sign explaining what to do, so there was no confusion about the etiquette. I placed my order at the counter after a few minutes of looking at the menu. The staff member was friendly and directed me to where I could get water, ensuring that I could ask for help if needed. My burger was ready in about 15 minutes, and it was delicious. I had no complaints and left the restaurant feeling satisfied and glad that I stopped by.

This is the 2nd time we've eaten here. Both times everything was excellent. Great selection of food items. We've had the chicken bacon ranch pizza and the Philly cheese burger. The burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. This place could definitely hold up to any of Guy Fieri's Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins. It was truly that good. The atmosphere takes you back in time. It is located in a historic Northern Pacific rail yard. They're just getting off the ground and renovating the complex. The history there is incredible. They're doing a great job. Truly worth going to, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy.
