    $16.50 worth of food? Nope.
    Todd L.

    Done with GSB. Prices are absurd for what you get. Over $60 for two burgers, two fries and three 12 oz shakes. Burgers are tiny and fries are nothing special. Shakes are decent. All around poor value.

    Compare the photo of what's offered for $15 and what's actually delivered. This is a cheap Trader Joe's plant based patty that's delivered

    My best half needed a bite to eat following a long day at Children's Hospital - just up the road. We've driven by this spot a number of times and finally had a chance to stop in. They've got a pretty simple menu with burgers ranging from single burgers to the boss burger (double beef, double cheese and bacon). My best half grabbed a pig laden great state burger wrapped in lettuce, with some Fries. The Fries were a surprise hit! Crinkle cut and with enough salt to get in the crinkles, but not so much that we were looking for drinks. They had a nice crunch and were a lovely side! The burger was solid as well, even with a lettuce bun! It's a quick in and out off 45th and just down the road from Seattle Childrens so it's great before or after an appointment. Well worth checking out and next time, we're excited for the Boss burger!

    I wanted to like Great State Burger, and by no means is it bad...it's just not great (get it?) The food in my opinion does not warrant the price tag. $20+ for a small-ish burger with bacon and onion added, plus fries and a shake. The burger itself was flavorful albeit messy. The crinkle fries were OK until they got cold. The shake...meh. I've had better, double in size, for the same price. I feel like for near the same dollar amount I could have been sitting in a decent restaurant. Would I eat it again? Perhaps.

    Burger patty. Unseasoned. Burnt. Just terrible.

    I hate writing reviews but when you spend 30 dollars for a burger, a fry (which was the only good item) and two beef patties I expect more. I've never been here but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. The food was bland, the special burger was an absolute joke for 13$. Buyer beware. It seems like there's a reason why Great State Burger keeps getting passed around to different owners.

    Boss Burger and Fries!
    Matt R.

    I visited the 45th St. location outside U Village. The service was friendly and fast. The food is made after you order. I had the boss burger, it was really good. I appreciate the freshness of the food. The fries, though frozen and unimaginative, were hot. I like the fact that you can grab your own ketchup and fry sauce. I'll just have to agree with the other reviewers that the price is high. $21 for a burger combo is steep especially considering it's a very common commodity. But good joint!

    My soda!

    Recently I made my first excursion to Great State Burger despite them having multiple locations it was up until just a few weeks ago where I finally made it to one. I got their single patty burger combo. Almost always it's too much for me to have more than one hamburger patty. In the combo what is also included is french fries and a drink. They have a lot of Jones Soda options at the soda fountain which I always like. Their Cola flavor is my favorite! It was fairly speedy in getting my burger which is always a plus despite being handed a handheld paging device there was only like two or three other customers here already eating but it's best to keep that system I imagine for when it does get busy. I enjoyed the hamburger, fries and atmosphere. A solid burger place overall.

    Single combo and double combo. Presentation was beautiful and burger was neatly constructed.

    This location if Great State Burger is awesome! I have been here quite a few times and the burgers were always perfectly cooked, and very neatly assembled. The fries here are also golden zigzag perfection! If I am craving a burger, this is where I want to go. I have been to other locations of GSB and they don't even compete with this location! The care that is put into each meal is much greater here, compared to the location at Bellevue Square. I have always had fast, friendly service. It is a little more expensive than other burger places, but the quality makes up for it. A single burger, a double burger and two fries was about $27. They also serve Jones Soda as fountain drinks! I will definitely keep coming here. I also recently discovered the convenient parking lot up the hill! This location is also right off the bus lines.

    This was 26$, didn't think it was worth it

    Solid burgers and fries, but their vanilla malt may be the best in the area. Would be 5 stars, but prices too high for what it is.

The restaurant itself leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm not asking too much. I believe the owner said he was trying to revamp the place. I hope that the area comes alive in the future years, that should help. Here's the issue though, this is the slowest spot ever. I've waited 30 minutes for fries - FRIES. I don't mind waiting for food, but it should remain reasonable. There were only two or three people working, and one man did tell us this, but I need to be honest - this was on Super Bowl Sunday. No one was able to get anyone a beer from the tap for 40 minutes, the food took forever and it appeared that online orders were being prioritized (which makes sense, you make as you get orders coming in, but that puts your in person customers in an odd and sometimes frustrating position). To be honest, I probably wouldn't have minded as much if I just had some fries to snack on. I didn't mind as much this one time because I was just happy to find a place to watch the Super Bowl Half Time show, but other days, it's a little hard to look past. I wish this business the best, I live too close to not hope for its improvement! Looking forward to updating my review. At the end of the day, if you're hungry, it's late, this is your spot.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

I didn't expect much out of these, but they were surprisingly good. The rice is cooked perfectly, sticky and tender, yet each grain is distinctive and almost bouncy, giving great mouthfeel. The musubi seems to be dipped in a small amount of soy sauce, although not enough to cover the entire rice surface. The additional sodium isn't really needed in the first place due to the salty and meaty kick the spam on top gives the handheld snack. It's a classic combination for a good reason! (4/5) For the Food Walk special, they only give a small scoop of mac salad. I'm sure the normal side portion for $5.94 is much larger. The salad is unspectacular but solid. It's a little sweet, a bit peppery, and certainly very creamy. There's a bit of julienned carrot included that isn't particularly crunchy, being soaked in the mayo sauce. The macaroni itself isn't mushy or overcooked, so it still has some texture. (4/5) I don't usually expect much out of food court restaurants, but Aloha Plates definitely surprised me with their quality. It seems like a solid option for Hawaiian.

Perhaps the Lao Burger served there wasn't as juicy and succulent, with perfectly crisp smashed patties as I recalled? Or perhaps Taurus Ox just serves a completely inferior version. I revisited for a Friday late dinner to reach the bottom of things. This was at around 8PM and the place was surprisingly busy, with a fully running kitchen and almost all seats taken. It's a pretty small restaurant to begin with, but since the food comes fast, people don't typically stay too long. By the time our food arrived, a table had cleared up for us. Lao Burger ($18) - This Lao Burger is just as good as my first visit. Absolutely perfectly fried smash patties, completely with lacy, crispy edges that provide texture and an intense caramelized meaty flavor. I've already described the burger in detail in my previous review - what I can say on this visit is that the burger is basically identical, indicating that Ox Burger is consistent with cook and construction. The burger as a whole has the perfect moisture level with plenty of unique funky, umami-full flavors that make each bite a delight. As with my previous review, two things come to mind that detract just a tiny bit from my full enjoyment. Firstly, the burger as a whole is a bit salty for my tastes, necessitating several trips to refill my cup of water Secondly, the piece of sliced pork belly included is kind of vestigial. It seems to be only there to add additional salt, because neither the flavor nor texture are very apparent while eating. (5/5) Deluxe ($15) - This burger is somehow way messier than the Lao to eat. Upon lifting it up, a mess of watery mustard/mayo mix drips onto the plate. I think it might be from the extra moisture in the tomatoes and lettuce. And yet, somehow the bun isn't soggy at all. This burger is otherwise excellent, combing the same picture perfect smash patties as in the Lao, with the classic fixings - American cheese, bacon, pickles, and plenty of veggie mix. (5/5) I'm glad I gave the Lao Burger another chance. It's now one of my favorite burgers in the city. I'll definitely be coming back to Ox Burger for more.

It is pretty small inside, but they've got a great little wooden patio with picnic tables and shade. We opted to sit out here, despite being pestered by wasps. The food was great for all adults involved. Portions of fries are generous and delicious, and come with fancy sauces (none of which appealed to me, but were appreciated by my family). The burgers are really inventive, so we all wanted to try the Lao. It's delicious. I did balk at $18 for just the burger, which is a smash patty (less beef) and I took the cheese, Mayo, and cilantro off. Eighteen dollars! No side, no drink. I might just be living in the past I guess It's really hard to order for kids here, imo. Even my non-picky kid was not about it and the toddler wouldn't try it. Thank goodness for fries, eh? They've got gluten free buns for no upcharge.
