Pec AlvaradoMay 2, 2017Everything is great here. The service, the vegetarian burger, the beef burger, the fries, the ketchup, the music (New Order, Blondie, The Smiths). No freezing a/c, no coming out smelling of food.
Adam BurghDecember 31, 2014Short rib poutin is a-mazing. Happy Hour = half price for 2/3 the regular portion. Best HH deal is Original 8oz burger + fries for $11. They don't tell you the shake is also 8 oz, which at $8 = $1/oz!
Nicholas KolnikMay 5, 2019The signature burger is a steal on happy hour. Definitely upgrade to the parmesan garlic fries; the garlic is ample and frash. 🍔🍟
Kris AlvarezFebruary 6, 2015Definitely go for the 8oz Burger with Short Rib Poutine on the side. The green tea Nutella milkshake was amaZiiiing too but for how small it is, $8 is a bit much!
Alex LucilleJanuary 11, 2013Love the short rib Poutine! Also, the seasonal Octoberfest burger was really good while they had it, I hope they bring it back again next October
Eden EssMarch 6, 2017The food is worth the wait. If you need to wait too long, grab a drink at Optimism across the street. Definitely try the bacon appetizer. And get a side of the garlic aoili for your fries.- Hands down one of the best burgers in town. Loved the Madison (grass-fed). Get the short rib poutine too!
"If it aint broke, don't fix it!" Among their many menu changes recently: Their caesar salad now made with kale instead of romaine. Still love you, 8 Oz, but please stick with what's made you great!
Jack ReevesSeptember 28, 2019Good amount of non beef options. Lots of beer and booze to choose from. Small bar too with a couple tvs. Cool spot. Something for everybody.
Elif GumrukApril 2, 2015Their burgers are delicious, try the boar burger for a change. Don't opt for garlic fries though, they barely have any garlic. Because of the decorations, place can get very loud with big groups.- Kaitlin MartineauAugust 11, 2016I love spicy and the jalapeño jam went above and beyond to burn my taste buds! I couldn't quite taste the veggie burger because of it, but I'm sure it's tasty!
Matthew CMarch 23, 2016Call it Matthew's Burger- grass fed beef, gruyère, candied bacon, garlic tomato, peppercorn sauce, brioche bun. It's the best burger you'll ever eat.
I feel terrible that I don't know HIS name in particular, but the guy I'm thinking of is super friendly AND a great mixologist! Tell him what you're in the mood for, and then let him at it!
Kaede BalazsNovember 14, 2013Gourmet burgers, also... Rosemary tots! And great beer. My only tip is- go to there. Pricey but worth it.
Yas AbJune 23, 2016Short rib poutine was very overrated, however the burger was heavenly. Ordered mine with Gruyere, sriracha aioli, tomato, onion, and pickles. Perfect!
Julia ParkJuly 16, 2016Their 8oz burger is crazy good. Turkey burger is great if you want a healthier option. Awesome happy hour menu as well!
Leena AlRajhiFebruary 15, 2016So delicious!! their service also great.. I recommend the classic burger with lettuce and the chicken popcorn 👌🏻
Grass fed beef burgers with in house brioche buns. Recommend the signature 8oz. Happy hour pricing is great.
Roman BedinerOctober 19, 2016Olive burger is the best. Note - of you don't explicitly say the temp, they will cook it medium. You need to ask for medium - rare.
Justin McKissickSeptember 11, 2016Great fries, greater burgers, and the best shakes around. Get the Jackson!
Awesome burgers! Start with deviled eggs and candied bacon.
Gluten-free burger buns available! Oh, and the burgers are amazing too. Great gourmet menu with a superb cocktail selection.
Carl Lu YinDecember 30, 2015Amazing burger patty! The thick cut bacon is delicious. Get the 8oz burger for sure
Jeremiah WilhelmAugust 30, 2016Late night Happy Hour = 9pm+ = $13 bomb cheeseburger and fries (or garlic truffle fries +$1) + root beer on tap.
Landon LarsenOctober 4, 2015The 8oz burger is the best burger I've ever had and the poutine is to die for!
Kevin RosinbumApril 13, 2013Had the "Pike" this time around. Spicy sweet and savory. Awesome. Tip is order the grassfed beef. Worth It. Such good burgers.
- L TJanuary 27, 2015Surprisingly, the filet of fish is crispy and delicious if you are brave enough of venture off meat.
Best turkey burger I've ever had, topped with mustard greens and a horseradish mayo. I recommend this place to my foodie friends.
Chris CamargoFebruary 9, 2015The vanilla milkshake is a thing of beauty. Not too sweet and super easy to drink.
Ruxpin on the RoadMarch 12, 2012Oprah has added the Short Rib Grilled Cheese to her list of favorite things. On our list? Sliders, fo' sho. Oh, and gents should check out the bathroom.
Ilke KayaFebruary 2, 2013You're gonna wait an hour to eat those burgers after you order, but the 8 oz is the best burger I had in Seattle.
Ricardo HernandezApril 27, 2015Visited last week since a year of not been there. Patties are now smaller and duller on flavor. You can get better burgers for this price.

"This is the pinnacle experience from Starbucks. I recommend a nitro cold brew along with one of the fresh baked goods from Princi (Starbucks’ new bakery). Pricey but worth it - very busy on weekends"
