If I could give negative five stars I would. I ordered a single combo today for lunch and subbed my soft drink for a "large chocolate shake." I told them the order was to go and without any tomatoes or pickles. When I picked up my order they handed me a small child's Dixie cup full of chocolate milkshake. I thought it was a mistake. I asked the order taker: "this is a tall?" To which he replied "all we have is 12oz large cups. It's bigger wider than it is tall though." I don't care if it's wider than it is tall, you don't call a short fat person "Lebron James" now do you? My point exactly. Their service sucks, no large cups, not much on their menu, and they threw in pickles and tomatoes onto my Burger. Thanks for nothing douche! Won't be coming back or recommending this place read more

Great State Burger - That is a large? Are you joking? - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great burgers, great location. This is about as close to "In-N-Out" burgers as Seattle can get with a slightly higher price tag. The veggies are FRESH. The food tasted great and the menu is very short and simple. You can order a la carte or get a Combo that includes fries and a fountain drink. I love that the beef is grassfed, and they also offer a veggie patty.The crinkle fries were better than I expected. I got a vanilla shake but struggled to drink it through the skinny straw so I added another and that helped. I wish they would offer a lettuce wrap option. I will definitely come back! read more

Great State Burger - One double, one single, fries and a shake - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Disclaimer - Came here as I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Yelp Elite event here. I have to say, This place is pretty darn good! It isn't In-n-Out, but pretty darn close. My husband and I got the double combo with the works and a small chocolate shake. They were ready to serve the hungry crowd so the service I experienced was quite quick. I did not expect burgers to be great, so it defo exceeded my expectations. The staff was super nice, quick, and courteous. Everything in this place is compostable amd organic! How do you not love that business model in Seattle?! Design of the food holders are genius, fries don't topple over because it has a flat bottom design. Now, why haven't anyine else thought about that is beyond me. Price point for a burger is a little higher, but keep in mind of the location and the grass-fed beef...then it becomes not too bad. Ibdefo recommend this place to people and I would defo come back for a burger myself! YUM! read more

Overall a great burger and great fries but a little pricey. I got the double combo and the buns on the burger are fantastic. The burger itself is pretty good and a decent size and the accoutrements were great as well. The burger did get a little bit messy with the juice but it was okay because it was a tasty treat. Fries were good but nothing special. They do have a really cool cut for the fries that allows for good ketchup pickup but overall nothing special about them. Sodas are all Jones soda which is kind of cool. Overall good and I will be back but will probably skip the fries and drink. read more

Great State Burger - Double combo - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We frequently visit the UW campus and drive by this place all the time. We finally decided to stop by and try it out. It was okay (not great).... We tried a little bit of everything. I think the prices were a little high for the value. I had a lettuce bun cheeseburger; there was too much lettuce that over powered the small, thin hamburger patty. The fries were the stars of the show. They were pretty perfectly cooked and salted. If you decide to stop by, make sure you try the fries! read more

The burger here is OK, but for $7 it seems a bit overpriced. The combos aren't actually a deal like at most other places because it's the same price as buying all the items separately. This place is like a marginally better Dick's Drive Inn but three times as expensive. read more

Great State Burger - Two Single Combo with bacon - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I like the simplicity of the burger and the crisp meat edges. It's a cut above Burger King, McDonald's, Dick's, Kidd valley and burgermaster. Caliburger is better. Shake shack and in-n-out are superior in both seasoning and ingredient quality. I had high expectations based on the high price but a few things were off about the burger. The meat lacked seasoning, it almost had a sour taste. If the management is reading please reconsider this, I don't want to have to add salt to my burger. Shredded lettuce, not great and tomato to beef ratio was too low. Secret sauce just ok. The bun was warmed up a bit too much which made it crisp but I liked this concept. Jones soda drinks, I know it's popular to go micro but I prefer coke or pepsi products. I tried one fry, friend ordered them, good but needed some seasoning. Mini shake option is really cool, I will try next time. I will be back but some work to be done to become a cult hit like shake shack or in-n-out. read more

The burgers here suffice in a pinch. I am seriously not a fan of American Cheese and since cheddar is not an option I reluctantly tried it, still not a fan. The crinkle fries are a good balance of crispy and soft on the inside but with a tad bit too much salt. I think the portion on a single was just right for a quick bite. Like that the service items are fully compostable. read more

They keep it simple and there's nothing wrong with that. Once you take a look at menu, it's narrowed down to a few choices. Their double is quite satisfying, the meat is cooked just right and flavorful. It's not pretentious, it's just a classic burger done nicely. Their fries were fresh and deliciously crispy; plus, the staff at this location were very friendly. read more

This place is a rip off. Nearly $40 for 2 people. Ordered 1 double, 1 single and combos with fries and a shake. Are you kidding me??? Food was average and will not be back. Save your money. Eat elsewhere read more

this is a solid burgo that keeps flair to a minimum and price to a median YAY IM A FAN -the burgers were so caloric that if set aflame billy joel wouldve written his song differently -the patties were stacked as if two wolves had climbed upon one another howling at a moon whose surface they yearned to touch -the french fries were ridged like the boundry lines on a lonely road designed to shake you awake in the dark of night (they also achieve the same purpsoe) COMPLAINT CORNER -the primenow menu was decidely minimalist with nary a milkshake to be found. this is primenow not an iPod get with it. if i wanted to drive a car to fetch a milkshake id re-live my own grandfather's brief life in the 1950s. -i felt cheated that the kids burger was not made from nor designed by goats but such is the state of advertising in america -the double left such a glob of excess cheese that i couldve made it into a controversial sculpture of andre the giant SUMMARY the observant shopper is left to wonder what "great state" we're meant to think of while we dine. the chow style makes me think california, but billy joel makes me think new york. either way it put me in the great state of mind to call my mother even when id rather text LESSON in school i earnt the nickname hungy boy dan but this afternoon i earnt the title sir and man read more

Great State Burger - each food item comes with its own tiny house unlike Seattle - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I really enjoy their burgers and hello crinkle fries!!!! Their burgers remind me of dicks in the simplicity but you get to customize unlike dicks. They also have a very simple menu nothing crazy but you can make your hamburger or veggie burger how you want with what options they do have which is nice! They have a jones soda machine!!! Which is pretty freakin amazing! They sadly only had two beers on tap which was ok since the ipa was really good! The restaurant looks kinda small with seating but surprisingly they can fit a good amount of people inside and on their patio! This place totally satisfied my burger craving!!! read more

Great State Burger - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I don't have a lot of time to write reviews, so when I actually take the time to write one it's because the service and/or products were exceptional OR were absolute garbage. My breakfast from the Great State Burgers 3rd Street, Seattle stand was so drenched in cooking oil that the breakfast sandwich slipped out of my hands! I had to take photos of the grease pool just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Not only was the food poorly prepared, it tasted - after I dusted off the dirt from dropping it - like bad cafeteria food. It absolutely had no flavor, other than cooking oil. Even the dirt on the sandwich had more flavor than the actual sandwich! So do yourselves a solid, NEVER order food from Great State Burger in downtown Seattle. I know I never will again. read more

Not much on the menu here. Just burgers and fries and not any options on those except you could add bacon or just get a veggie burger. I had a double combo for $15 which seemed high considering it was just a burger wrapped in paper with some crinkly fries. The burger reminded me of 5 guys but the fries were way worse. I would rather see some options for burger toppings and real hand cut fries. I don't see how these guys are going make it at these prices and and all the competition. Jones soda was a plus, but other that, this was just a below average burger place. read more

Ordered a single combo: 1x grass fed beef, american cheese, lettuce, tomato, state sauce. AND fries, AND 16oz fountain drink = $10. I guess that is the price to pay for downtown Seattle fast food, and being on AMZN campus helps. That seemed super expensive to me, and not worth $10. I just don't see it. + (fast food? can this be a plus?! ok, grass fed patties I suppose) - wait time (lots of people at lunch rush/of course, all the amazon employees and people nearby dt Seattle) - $10 for a burger/fries/drinks?! - very limited seating (not the best for groups.. they only have one big table that fits 8 people inside a hidden room) - no parking, don't bother driving here!! Enough said. I would never come unless someone made me. Not one-star because the place looks nice and is at a very convenient location (nearby AMZN). read more

Great State Burger - Single combo: Burger+fries = $10 Drink was extra. - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

$17.95 for single burger add bacon and a 8oz chocolate malt. Good Burger, far from great. I hate crinkle fries! Everything was really salty. Shake was good. I wish they had hot sauce. This is my second trip and the single burger was definitely better than the double. I do like that that they use head to tail mentality with the beef. But I probably won't be back again. read more

Great State Burger - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have to say that this place disappointed me especially after someone told me that it was like the Seattle equivalent of Shake shack. The staff here was efficient but not the friendliest, and the music was playing pretty loudly making it hard to have a conversation. Waited a little while for my food to be ready despite the restaurant being pretty empty which was annoying but made me think that the food would be fresh and hot. The food was warm but it didn't seem like it was freshly made to the pint that it justified my waiting for 10 mins. My burger patty was pretty dry and I found myself dipping the burger in ketchup to make it go down a bit easier. Fries were ok but nothing to write home about. Portion size was good given the price but it just wasn't that tasty - to be honest, I would have rather had McDonald's, from a taste standpoint. Disappointing, likely would only eat at a Great State again in a pinch read more

The people complaining about this place probably didn't add the "top that burger" option with state sauce and onions. They ask if you want to Grilled or Raw but you can also ask for both! I did and it it adds more depth and flavor. I got a double patty and ended up major food coma. The patties are generous (more than cali burger) and meaty. The ambiance is casual but has a nicer more modern feel than most casual burger places. I would definitely recommend this place because they use grass fed patties, the onions are amazing, and the place is clean and nice. It's also not as greasy compared to other places (Cali burger & lil woodys). read more

I honestly hardly have anything to say about this place. I'm unenthused. IDK why, I thought I had heard great things about this place. I'd much rather walk into a Shake Shack, Steak n Shake or Fatburger than here. Burgers? Mediocre at best. Fries? Crinkle, which I'm not a huge fan of, not enough of them and kind of dry. Drinks? Some local soda brand (I just had water). Menu? Minimal. Staff? Hating their life. It reminds me of being inside one of those depressed, indie movies on Netflix. Instead of "Great State Burger", let's call this the "Meh Amazon Bu...rger?". I don't even eat at McDonald's, but would probably have thought that place was better than here. One thing it has going for it that I can tel is maybe the fact that they serve breakfast? IDK what I'm missing... read more

I live downtown and have come here during the week when it is slammed with amazon employees and on the weekend when it's much slower. On all accounts the staff here deserves 10 stars! They hustle and get food out pretty quick even when there are only a few employees working. They are very efficient and friendly. The food is delicious and simple! Ordering is easy and they use great quality products. I love the lettuce wrap burger! I am not a soda drinker, but my fiancé loves that they use Jones soda co. Skip the line down the street and save some money. This is the go to burger spot! read more

Skip this location and head to the international district one. Came on a Sunday when it was empty. Bread was stale and meat way way over cooked and rubbery. As a burger place, they couldn't get the basics right. Bad cook is one thing but stale bread means you don't care as a business. read more

I am a fan of Great State Burger. If I am staying downtown in Seattle I will always plan at least one meal here. The burgers are just the right size and I love me some crinkle fries. My only setback is for the cost of what you pay to add bacon it is not much worth it. Stick with just the burger. Jones Soda on tap too! read more

Great State Burger - It's all about the crinkle... - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

100% better than Dicks or In n Out. Sorry not sorry. You get crispy fries and a wonderfully fresh tasting burger that is well seasoned with a toasted bun. You can get a single combo for under $15 so that's a bunch of fries, free refill, and an amazing burger. The patty is so juicy, tender, and flavorful. Only note is for soda it's only Jones soda but you can taste them all, root beer is a favorite. read more

We worked so hard circling around the block looking for parking. We finally get inside and it looks like a pretty cool place. A bit high priced for just a burger that doesn't come with fries or a drink, but we are starved so what the heck. Then, to our dismay the cook salted the burger patties so heavily we couldn't even eat them. What a lame lunch stop in Seattle. Parking meter ran up and still no lunch. read more

Good but average burger place. It's very cool how they make their own soda. I would recommend trying the fries with the Great State sauce if you like mayonnaise and ketchup. read more

Great State Burger - Single Combo with no tomato - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love the modern clean look of the place and the big wood door as you enter. Pretty straight forward and clearly marked when you walk in with signs overhead. I ordered the double combo and wasn't given a cup for my drink so I wondered over to the Jones Soda machine thinking cups may be over there. Not the case and came back to the counter to ask for a cup which was behind the counter. As I sat down to wait for my food I saw the same thing happen to multiple people. A note to the person working the register: If someone orders a combo hand them a cup! They shouldn't have to walk over to the drink machine and come back and ask. Breakdown of review: Food/Drink: 4 Environment: 4 Price: 3 (just under $15 total w/tax for a double combo...have had just as good for $10-12) Service: 2.5 (could have just been a new person working the register but when multiple people ask for a cup you should remember) Overall you can expect a solid burger and fries that is a bit overpriced. read more

Great State Burger - Long piece of hair at the bottom of my burger bag. Disgusting! - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love this spot limited hours due to Covid. Food always fresh and Customer service always Great

Checked out this burger place near Amazon. Spacious even on a weekday noon. Different burgers to choose, and I had single combo, which included the burger and fries and 16oz soda as well. The single burger was big enough for me, which had beef, tomatoes, onions and veggie. The fried were really good. And the lime soda was good too. read more

Looking at the reviews here and not sure why this place gets so much beef (haha, get it?). I could eat here every day for every meal for the rest of my life and not get sick of it. I'd recommend: - a double on a lettuce bun (the lettuce bun makes me feel healthier than I am, but the regular bun is toasted perfectly and buttery) - the fries are good if you're in the mood for carbs (the burger alone usually fills me up if I'm not too hungry so I skip these 99% of the time - and while I don't usually like strawberry shakes, the ones here actually taste like strawberries. Skip the malt add-on if you want to go gluten-free, but even if you don't care the malt didn't add anything for me. read more

Good burger and fries with reasonable prices. Their attitude toward sustainability is a big plus for me. The burger style is distinct from my other favorite burger places in town (e.g. Lil Woodys, 206 Burger Co) , I would come back here again. The bad news is that a Shake Shack is opening almost across the street from this place in a few months, and their style is very similar, and I prefer Shake Shack over this place... read more

Great State Burger - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pretty decent by any means. Reminds me a little bit of In-N-Out but not quite the same and a bit costlier Really love that they use a Jones Soda machine. The fries are very average (which is a little better than In-N-Out) and the burger is decent. The state sauce is like a more tangy special sauce. My thing is that it comes out to almost $15 for a double combo. I get that inflation kinda elevates the cost of things but a deluxe, fried and shake will still run you a lot less read more

This is a potential four star burger but I'm knocking stars for the bun, price, and limited seating. This place is packed with Amazonians during the lunch hour. Plan on taking this to go. $11 after tax for a single cheeseburger and fries. No extras like bacon. I know this is Seattle but this feels like a ripoff. The bun is way too dense and heavy. I like the fluffy. This one is like eating a piece of wonderbread. Crinkle-cut fries were spot on, with the exception of the $3 price tag. read more

The quality has slipped here. Used to love, love, love it. Bow I have had 2 disappointing visits in a row. It will be awhile before I return. :-( read more

Overall good food, good customer service. The veggies were fresh and the beef was flavorful and juicy. Where the Great State Burger lacks is within its portion sizes and it's price point compared to similar restaurants. I was disappointed when I shelled out an extra $2.50 for bacon that was almost nonexistent and unnoticeable flavor wise. I would not recommend this establishment to other college students. South Lake Union Tech Bro's and Gal's come on down. read more

Overall, food was delicious and it had a cool ambiance. Menu was very limited, but that definitely was okay with me, as far as I'm concerned everyone should just do one or two items and do them right. Great State Burger definitely did burgers right. Fries were delicious too, super crisp and perfectly salty. Great food and a cool place! read more

Ok...let's try this again. My review got flagged/deleted for mentioning I had the chance to eat here during an event but the others didn't?! HmpH. My boyfriend and I both ordered the double, with the exception of mine being bun-less (yes, you can do that here!). Meat is grass-fed and the quality of the patty definitely shows for it when you take a bite. The burger itself was perfectly seasoned even without the special sauce. I'm a big fan of "soggy fries" so the crinkle cut aren't within my preference, but if they are I think they're better than Shake Shack's version. Drip them in the vanilla milkshake and you'll be happy :). They had Jones Soda on tap which was cool. I don't drink soda regularly but this was cool if you are. The space is very modern, the employees were awesome and always made sure we had what we needed and the urgency was quick too! We waited less than 7 minutes for our food! I didn't even have enough time to grab ketchup. read more

Great State Burger - Two doubles, one with a lettuce wrap, both with grilled onions. - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

If you don't mind paying $16 for a fast-food double burger, fries and a drink, this is the place for you. With that said, this place kind of reminded me of Shake Shack. Unlike my first time at Shake Shack in Vegas, I wasn't underwhelmed. The burger was actually decent. They offer you grilled and/or raw onions which I liked. Normally I'd go both, but because I was on a lunch break, I decided to just go grilled. The crinkle cut fries were weak though and their fry sauce was just ok. I ended using ketchup. The service was fairly quick considering it was lunchtime and the place was clean. Overall I thought the place was ok for the price point. You can get better gourmet burgers at many kid the restaurants im the downtown Seattle area. read more

Great State Burger - Double with fries and soda - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This location is very big and open with ample amounts of seating. Great for big groups. I really love how they toast their bun which adds a nice crunch to your burger. Other than that, there's nothing too special about the burgers. It has all the basic fixings (bun, meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese). The fries are crinkle cut and the times I've had them have been delicious. They're crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. It really depends on whether you get a fresh batch or a baych that's been sitting out though. State sauce is more of a tangy sauce if you're into that. Personally, I prefer it and it tastes great with fries. You can add bacon for an extra fee and it looks to be thick-cut strips. A star was docked at how weirdly thick the milkshakes, so it makes it almost impossible to drink with straws unless you let it melt a bit. Beware that the small milkshake cups are really small! I think their medium milkshake cup is a normal restaurants' small. Bonus points for having a Jones Soda machine because it's different that your basic soda options. I recommend this place if you're near the Amazon Spheres, looking for a good crinkle cut fries (which you don't find often at burger places), or a place with lots of seatings for friends and family. read more

Not your typical fast food burger place! Really good food, simple, and cooked the way you order it! Small menu but really good. Veggie burger was moist and flavorful with a nice crisp on the edges!!! Mmmm! Hubby said regular burger was good too. Crinkle fries were good. Just wish there was a 1/2 or smaller order of fries...too much for me! Oh and they have Jones soda!!! Yummy! If you're near one of their locations stop by, you won't be disappointed! read more
