Love this quirky little place! Nice dive bar in the back where you can grab a slushy and watch a game :) I really loved the burger and chili fries, I think that's my jam here :) They have family sitting in the middle of the place and an awesome selection of pin ball machines (may be why I really like this place? :)) read more

A friend recommended Doug's Burgers in Bellingham and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the bacon burger and the jalapeño burger, and both were seriously some of the best burgers we've ever had. You can tell everything is fresh--the buns were homemade, the burgers are perfectly cooked, and the flavors just hit. The fries deserve their own moment--homemade, crispy, and so good we couldn't stop eating them. Service was just as great as the food. Andreas the bartender stood out--super friendly, welcoming, and constantly wiping down tables and chairs. You can tell he really cares about keeping the place clean and creating a good experience. Great food, great service, and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. read more

Finally tried Doug's Burgers. I did the classic with an extra patty. $10 for the classic and $4 more for the extra patty . And $4 for fries + $1 for dill ranch . Honestly it was a little dry and was missing something... especially for a $14 + burger. The service there was great, we ordered our food and sat in the bar and got a drink. Our bartender was really sweet and great. I'll definitely give it another try again, but definitely a little pricey for just a burger $$$ read more

Doug's Burgers - Classic Burger with 2 Pattie's and fries - Burgers Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

See all

The food is 3 stars the only thing that did bring it up to four was the fun games they have but the seating wasn't too comfortable so we didn't stay very long . The bill was $29 just for my order. Me and my boyfriend shared the classic burger and queso fries. The classic burger was mediocre for the price. Coming from I was expecting a little more tbh but it was still good. The fries were very cheesy and yummy I will say. The pickle dip was a bit bland to me with like a little whisper of Dill (I'm a pickle lover so I could be biased). Overall this is a great place to go if not to hungry and wanna split something otherwise I'd say it's too pricey for what it was. read more

Never been to the brick-and-mortar location, but the food truck that comes by Ferndale every week is AMAZING. I eat a TON of burgers, and Doug's is my favorite in this area by far. Simple, straightforward menu, patties are cooked and seasoned perfectly, and their house-made buns are outstanding. The fries are also excellent, especially dipped in their (also house-made) tartar sauce. Everything is prepared to order and comes out quickly. read more

BEST chili cheese fries that everyone should try! This restaurant is super solid. Any time I call in to place an order the employees are very nice and always very nice in person as well! You can tell they care about the quality of the food they are serving because a simple comfort food like chili cheese fries are very top quality here and very affordable:) read more

I was visiting Bellingham and looking for a local burger shop. Found Doug's on Yelp and read the great reviews. Arrived and parked ib their lot. Entered and ordered a combo. After seating, I noticed that they also have a full bar. Maybe next time when I have a driver. The burger was great, fresh bun, plenty of vegetables. I fries were hot, and crispy. I'll be returning during my next visit. As I was leaving I also noticed that Jeffrie's deli shared the same building and interior. So if your group is looking for something other than a burger there are deli sandwiches. read more

Stopped in a while back for some lunch. Got some single cheeseburgers a chicken sandwich and cheese fries. Ask were very good. Its the one of the only places I can remember where the bun is the thing that stood out the most. The actual burger was good but the buns are homeade and just are so soft and delicious. We didn't stay to eat there we took our stuff next door to Menace and watched an Arsenal game with our lunch. I would go back here for sure read more

Second time trying Doug's burgers. Service is quick. People seem to rave about this place but in two visits I'm not sure why. First time i had a burger. So-so. This time I had the chicken sandwich. Chicken was tough and overcooked. Chocolate shake was a bit better, not a lot of chocolate taste but at least it was real ice cream. Probably won't give it a third try. I miss Winn's in Fairhaven. read more

We had had a Doug's burger a year or so ago from their truck and we like it so we thought we would try their restaurant For $34 my wife and I each got a loaded burger and shared fries We were so disappointed. The patty was almost paper thin and overcooked It tasted OK but was way overpriced, for the price it should be a great burger and not paper thin The fries were plenty full and they were good but the bad burger ruined enjoying them I will not be going back, too many better burgers at a better price read more

Drove by so we thought we'd try it. It's edible. It's clean looking. But is it worth going back to? Not really. Edible food isn't necessarily good food but it didn't make us sick in any way tho it wasn't filling either. Fries were bland as bland could be. We had to eat food on the way home from eating food. The burger is bigger than the bun & both are bigger than the plate it's on which is odd. Soda cups are clearly from 1980s Pizza Hut & they use paper plates. Two kids could split a burger easily. Tho the staff didn't like really being asked questions. Seemed perturbed by basics and really seemed more used to people just coming in who are regulars who order eat and leave. They definitely didn't seem keen on new customers who may be confused. They did do the order correctly & mentioned they are going to open a deli next door soon. The parking lot is only in 1 direction & the handicap ramp is definitely really far to walk out to half way down the black & then back up. Bathrooms were clean. The giant rose bushes cover the sidewalk to the handicap ramp & the ramp itself. So if you're allergic to bees.... The stairs are like most in Bellingham pretty much built before laws about height were introduced. read more

Not good. Burger was kinda gross and "street fries" were really gross. Hamburger: Not sure if meat. Not recognizable. Thumb sized hole in top of bun (why serve this!?!). Basically a wafer thin see through piece of "meat"(?) Street fries. Had to try them. Didn't like them. Ewwwwe. The sauces were just odd and didn't taste like what they were supposed to be, but worse the fries were completely soggy and limp. Service was slow, but we were in no hurry. Nothing really to draw me back, the ambience? Burger joint. Used to be a Latino place(?), it's OK. There is a bar. Anyway I felt like heck all night long after that food. Meh. No. read more

Doug's Burgers - See the dent how it arrived. Made me suspicious. - Burgers Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Heard all about how yummy Doug's food truck burgers were and was excited to check out their new brick and mortar location in Bellingham. My husband and I went in on a weeknight. There was one table occupied and no one else in the restaurant or lobby. It took at least five full minutes to be acknowledged by the guy at the counter. He was back in the kitchen talking with the cook. No comment about keeping us waiting or anything related to service. The dude acted like he was irritated we disturbed him. We ordered the regular house burgers, asked for medium rare and were told medium was the least they could be prepared. No biggie. If all you do is burgers, they probably know what they're doing. Also ordered a side of fries. The burgers arrived and first impression was GROSS! First of all, the patties were cooked to the point of being black (not just charred) and crumbly on the edges. The bun was so greasy and literally looked wet on the outside, like it was sprayed with oil before serving. I thought maybe I should taste it before judging. Maybe looks are deceiving? No such luck! Our first impressions were correct. Absolutely gross! Greasy bun, driest burger ever, far beyond well-done. And to top that all off, the tomato was tasteless and hard but the crowning glory was the slimy, brown lettuce. Ewww! When I returned our inedible burgers to the "charming" guy at the front, he asked in a loud, accusatory voice, "what's wrong with them!?" I took the greasy bun off the top to display the overcooked burger and the slimy lettuce. He literally rolled his eyes and with a heavy sigh, said, "Fine, here's your refund!" So unprofessional. BTW, the fries were limp and greasy. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

First time in for a late lunch today. Counter in front for take out and a nice little bar in the back. Quite a few old school video machines around. Not a lot of customers at this time of day, bartender was very friendly and gave us the low down on the menu and the history of the food truck to restaurant transition. We had the spicy jalepeno burger and the fried chicken burger. First thing you notice is the bun, it reminded me of my mums homemade burger buns. Fluffy and pillowy but nice and thin so you're not eating a thick bready bun. Apparently they have them made by a bakery in town. Fresh not frozen beef, seared perfectly, thin but not too thin, craggy bits on the edges. Perfect. American cheese. Roasted jalepenos were bomb, and a decently thick layer. Great sliced pickle chips. It's been a while since I've had a burger as tasty as this, and not over the top with condiments. Fried chicken was crunchy outside, juicy inside. Really unassuming to look at but the ? lettuce slaw with honey mustard was really really good. Best ever fried chicken sandwich was uttered! This was a quick visit as we were in a rush, so no sides and no drinks, but we will def be back very soon! read more

Visited Doug's Burgers when we were in town visiting our daughter at WWU. My husband was on the hunt for a great burger. Doug's didn't disappoint. $9 for a cheeseburger seems very reasonable and the patty was fairly large. Great tasting. Also love that they have a bunch of pinball machines. Definitely recommend and would come back. read more

Amazing! The burgers were huge and perfect, the fries hot and salty and the sauces were so yummy! The ambiance could use a little help, better tables and chairs and some fun artwork. Overall very cool, no frills, good food for decent prices. This is my new burger place! read more

Best food truck burger. Maybe the best $10 burger anywhere. Had the "Doug". It was delish! The hand cut fries were awesome too. Guys got the burgers out fast. read more

It seems they weren't ready to scale to a full restaurant. We ordered online, and they said the order would be ready at 6:17p. It wasn't ready until 6:50p - a full 30 minutes later while we waited with our toddler and infant. We had high hopes the food would be outstanding; instead, I would have returned it and asked for our money back if we hadn't gotten it to go. The buns were average - not delicious, nothing special. The burgers were thin and dry. The fries were soggy. The lettuce was flimsy. We were so excited to try this place. Even if it had been kind of a gross-fast-food style burger - not fancy, but delicious - I'd have been impressed. But they were dry, tasteless, and just awful read more

Customer service sucks (they hide in the kitchen when you need help), the burger buns were soggy, the lettuce was stingy, and it was expensive. The place is dirty. I won't go back. read more

I have seen many Facebook videos about Doug's burgers. I was waiting for a chance to visit, I was not disappointed, the food was awesome. Big portions. The fries were some of the best I ever had. Service was fast and friendly. I was disappointed that I didn't have time to play pinball(but that's not Doug's fault). I like the idea that you can buy a roll of quarters when you order. I am looking forward to the next visit read more

Best burgers!! They will customise. Good flavour and fresh. The fries are also excellent. read more

I went back For my second try. This time I had the spicy burger and queso fries. The burger was good, but had too many jalapeños on it for my taste. Had to take some of them off. The queso fries were good. Definitely will go back the next time. I'm in Bellingham. read more

Doug's Burgers - Spicy burger and queso fries - Burgers Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Ordered ahead online and got our order quickly after. Food was great tried the fried chicken sandwich and Doug burger. Sauce was awesome and the flavor was there for sure! Also can't beat the $1 sodas. We'll definitely be back! read more

As a burger enthusiast, I had high hopes for this place, especially given the awards they've won--but I was seriously disappointed. I understand the concept of the menu: simple, limited items, and affordable. However, the execution fell short. I ordered both the plain burger and the spicy burger. The plain burger was dry, overly salted, and tough to eat after the first bite. The spicy burger wasn't spicy at all--the jalapeños weren't grilled, the sauce was bland, and the pickles didn't complement the burger. I'm willing to give this place one more shot and try the chopped cheese. Hopefully, it's better than what I had this time. read more

Dougs is the best. We come here every chance we get. Even for our 25th anniversary dinner. The burgers are amazing. The fries are cooked perfectly and have just the right amount of salt. If you haven't tried the chopped cheese fries...do it! You won't regret it. So wonderful! We love Doug's. read more

We paid way too much to be so sorely disappointed. The burger was dry and thin while the bun was enormous and equally as dry. The fries and chicken strips tasted like they haven't changed their fryer oil in a long time. It cost us $58 for two burgers, fries and a chicken strips basket for our son. The atmosphere was fun and the servers were nice, but we won't be returning. For this price and vibe you should just go to the filling station or fiamma burger and actually enjoy your meal. read more

I really want to like a new burger place. First, a great bun, live a fluffy and solid Brioche style bun, I give them kudos. The bun to burger was too much bun...they use Romaine instead of a pile of or managed pull of much more crispy iceberg. The tomatoes were non existent, 2 big, at least one fat beefsteak is proper for this bun. The bun was soggy, this style of bun must be a bit crisped before adding all. Lastly, good fries, great flavor, a tad too much salt, Do Not over salt, if anything under salt. I'll hope to get back there w this type of structure, but to have soggy lettuce, dark green ends of lettuce does not serve any burger well. My 2 cents, I'll hope they see this, they are very close to one of the best burgers in town. read more

food is bomb! fries are a little too salty for my liking but they are still tasty! the burger is great! and the server was nice! great atmosphere i love the arcade machine games!!! plus the stickers are epic! you guys gotta release more! read more

First I love spicy so I ordered the spicy burger. It was like the took a can of jalapeno and just dumped it on top of the slightly overcooked burger. The bun was wet and gross. My kid got a regular burger and ended up with an upset stomach shortly after. We will not be returning. Oh and the fries were nothing extra either. read more

I love this new(ish) spot! As someone who is gluten free, I needed a replacement for Boomers since they've gone downhill (and their gf buns are not great). Flavors were great, prices were reasonable, only waited maybe 5 minutes for our burger and the person who took our order was so nice! I highly recommend doug's :) read more

I hate writing bad reviews but I gave them a chance to right the wrong. Ordered 2 burgers and fries to pick up. Once we got home we realized we did not get the extra bacon on either($3.00 each) nor did we get the extra burger sauces ( $2.00 each) . I sent email to them but no response. Gotta pay attention to details!! Missing items and no responses to emails is not that. $10. Out of pocket for nothing. OK burgers and those giving me my bag of food were very nice but not enough to come back to spend an extra 10 bills. Sorry. read more

I have come here several times with various family members and we have had a great experience every time. The food is delicious, always seasoned well and very tasty! The street fries are very unique, not my personal preference but my husband LOVES them! Definitely worth trying! They also have fun arcade games in their lobby seating and bar area which is a really fun touch, especially if you come with kids. Definitely highly recommend especially for the prices! Very reasonable and always yummy! read more

Fast, Cheap and Delicious! I've been loving grabbing burgers to go from Doug's and looking forward to checking out their newly remolded Bar! read more

Such a cool place. The burgers, we got the classic, with regular fries, was sooooo good. We will definitely be coming back.

Love that the order is made fresh. The burgers and fries never disappoint. The restaurant could use a tv or two and I'm not a fan of bussing my own table, maybe I'm old school but I don't work there. read more

Best burgers ever! Service is quick, food freshly made. It's a great burger joint! 4 - 10 stars

Best burger we've ever had. Fries great, ranch somehow also makes everything better. Plain and simple, it's an amazing joint

Terrible service and terrible food. Rude on the phone to me. Avoid this place. I tried calling them to explain my concern and got hung up on. 09/14/24 read more

Best BLT I've ever had, truly. And their classic cheeseburger is my favorite! Love the fries too. They make it easy to order to-go or get food delivered. The overall vibe inside is welcoming, all the workers are super nice and helpful. read more
