The Burger (7 of 10): In our quest, we have noticed that burgers tend to fall into "thick" and "thin." Thick burgers show off the meat, while thin burgers tend to accentuate the greens and whatnot that top the patty. The Ram's Smoky Cheddar Bacon Burger falls neatly between the two. The patty is not hugely thick, but thick enough that it's satisfying to the carnivore. The lettuce, tomato, onion toppings are okay, but pedestrian.
Sides (7 of 10): Most of us prefer fries that are thick enough to be crunchy outside and soft inside. The Ram's fries are like that, and well made. A few fries in the order were "cajun"-style; we weren't sure if that was intentional or not.
Other Stuff (7 of 10): The Ram has a big menu, and many of the other dishes are quite good. French Dip and Chop Salad recommended. And the beers are good, with the usual silly names.
Ambiance (7 of 10): A big, sports-bar type room. Can be noisy, but generally very pleasant. Finding the restaurant in the back corner of the U Village shopping center can be fun.
Service (7 of 10): Good, although our server may have been new. But we got our orders taken quickly, and he returned to ask how everything was.
Overall (7 of 10): Maybe not the best burger in town, but a reliably good meal. One of our cadre tells us that the Ram in Tacoma is better, so that will probably be on our quest soon.

New Ram Restaurant & Brewery going in at the Northgate Mall in what looks like a free-standing structure. Not sure of opening date, was still under construction mid-Sept 2007. Northgate Mall is undergoing a facade change that may give it a bit more character down the road.
This is great info to know.
