If you're in the area, definitely try Ox Burger. Located where Ox Taurus used to be, it's a good place for a quick bite. We tried their Lao Burger and popcorn chicken with mango curry sauce during their HH (Tues-Sat 3-6 pm). The popcorn chicken was okay but the highlight for our meal was definitely the Lao Burger. Flavorful and juicy, the smash burger was delicious in my opinion. The two beef and pork patties weren't dry and the pork belly added a nice extra savory touch. I'd come back again for the Lao Burger. read more

I can finally see why the burger is worth the hype. I've heard so much about the Lao Burger and finally got to try it. I haven't been able to go to the other OG restaurant Taurus Ox. So it's nice to see that they have a more fast casual burger focused spot. It was really good the patties were very crisp and flavorful because it's a beef/pork mixture and the toppings paired well with the flavors-especially the cilantro. I had a burger craving and it met it. I wouldn't get the ox fries again because the portions were kind of small for the price. They also have a regular burger that's only $5.50 that was a good smash burger style. I would definitely come here again to satisfy any cravings for a burger. Just a note it's kind of hard to park around here. read more

Lao burger: Probably my favorite burger I've ever had This is what fusion food should be. Perfectly balanced and not trying so hard to make it fusion that the flavors don't even work. The quality was great every time. The fries are also delicious but you have to be careful since they're really hot on the inside. Wouldn't recommend their regular burger though, nothing special and can't skip out on their signature one :) read more

I've always thought the taurus ox burger was on of the best in the city and I love taking people who've never been to try it. So it worked out perfectly that we were in the area during happy hour when the burger's a dollar off! It's good as ever with so many amazing flavors packed between 2 buns. We also got the popcorn chicken which was alright but the burger was definitely still the star of the show read more

Best burgers in Seattle -- whether you go for the Lao Burger (fish sauce lovers, get this!), special of the day or a Deluxe (satisfies a classic burger craving), there's something for every burger lover here. The smash burgers are juicy and all the elements on each burger play an incredibly important part; these people know what they're doing! Every time I've come by everyone's been so nice & service has always been top notch. If it's super busy, seating can be a bit of a challenge but I've never had to wait more than 10-15 min for a good spot. The only thing that could use some improvement is their fries, just because I like more crunch on my fries but for those that like a softer fry, you'll probably love these as they were perfectly seasoned -- pay the extra $1 for their aioli, you won't regret it! read more

I highly recommend Ox Burger if you're looking for a good smash burger. They have one of the best smash burgers I have ever had. The smash burger has so much flavor; everything from the veggies to the bun helps balance out the greasy meaty smashed patty. We also tried popcorn chicken, which was okay because I felt it was a little too crispy. They have amazing happy hour deals for both smash burgers and their other menu items as well. read more

It's a small joint that feels like the right amount of hole in the wall and cozy. Rock music. Delicious smash burgers. Gluten free buns. Happy hour on their food and drink every day from 2-5pm. It's awesome! read more

I have to say, I was soooo disappointed by the happy hour offering at Ox Burger. I loved their sister restaurant Taurus Ox that was formerly in this space (wohoo, they upgraded their space and moved up north!) so we were very excited to give OB a try... but unfortunately the food was very underwhelming, and I got a really bad stomach bug about an hour later. I ordered: Ox Burger (2/5) Very disappointing. Don't be fooled by the $5 sounding like a good deal, because the large bun is about 4x as thick as the thin patty, making the ratio very off. I'd definitely recommend doing double patty for $3 to have a minimally satisfying dinner... But then at that point your order comes out to $8, and you could get about 2x the amount of food at that price from Chipotle. The burger quality itself was very heavy handed with mustard, which completely overpowered any patty flavor. Bun was not toasted -- looked and tasted like a Safeway bun. So don't be deceived by the happy hour prices because you want a good deal, because this turns out to be very expensive for what you pay for. Fries (4/5) This was the only thing I mostly enjoyed. Interesting seasoning with the slightest tajin flavor. If you like thicker French fries with medium crisp these are great. I'm team shoestring fries though, so thick fries are just alright. Popcorn chicken (1/5) Ok, it was bad. Super gamey flavor, contained the poorest cuts of chicken, and it was bone dry from being overcooked. The breading had that dry KFC texture except it was thick, but even the breast chunks lacked moisture. We were served a lot of the skinny thigh meat and cartilage. If you want juicy happy hour popcorn chicken, stay away from this and go to Tavern Law instead (one of the best imo) To top it off... my stomach is usually resilient and healthy (no allergies) but I definitely got a sore stomach about an hour later. Even though the service is fine, the quality of food left a very bad taste overall. :( read more

My rating Food 3 Service 3 Atmosphere 2.5 but there is an outdoor spot that might have made it nicer. I wanted to love this place. I was ready to love this place. I wanted it to be what Taurus Ox is but in a burger joint. The burger, which is the same that is at the main restaurant, is really good. But the rest was less impressive. We had the jalapeño poppers... not good. The sauce for them was a mango sauce. It was ok but a house made hot sauce made them a touch better. We also shared an order of the cheese fries. Again I was not a fan. I think I wanted more of what makes Taurus Ox so great. If the fríes had been covered in a curry instead of something resembling pimento cheese I would be all in. Also this place does not have the famous chili oil that Taurus Ox has. This is a travesty. The burger is so good that I might go back just for that and to try one of the other sandwiches. But most likely I would head to the main restaurant first. read more

Listen foodies and alike! The Lao burger lives up to the hype! You have the classic American smashed Pattie's with a surprisingly oriental flavor.... It was absolutely delicious. No this is not your teriyaki burger! You even had unique ingredients like elephant ear stem that you find in canh chua, a Vietnamese soup fish! Very interesting and delightfully delicious! The French fries were great as well, crispy chunky and delicious! A little bit salty so you may ask them to ease off on that, but at the core perfectly fried! Chicken sandwich was also delicious! I do feel it was basic, but in a very good way! Moist and crispy but nothing to take it over the top... just a solid high quality fresh chicken fried sandwich, truthfully you won't regret! Dunk it in your favorite sauce! They have a lot of our door seating so it was a nice ambiance to enjoy your burger under the sun! Service is standard. read more

I was really excited to try this place for the first time but the burger patties were just too salty and took away from the flavor.

The food was good we chose this place mainly because they have the impossible patty option, sausages were also good, was just a tad bit, disappointed that they didn't have ice cream option anymore when we got there there was a huge taped off 'X' over menu on all ice cream options, which was one of the big reasons we stopped here according to TikTok clips and Yelp pictures. They also no longer offered the ox fries, which was also another reason we stopped in. Other than the limited menu options, everything was good. read more

Ox Burger - Impossible deluxe fries, and regular deluxe date 9/5/24 - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Unassuming corner restaurant which creates a burger and a fish sandwich dreams are made of! I grew up with the Filet o Fish from the yellow arches. When it declined I stopped ordering. When the fish sandwich arrived it was a sight for sore eyes! The first bite...delicious beyond delicious. How was this possible?! Replica but way better! Now let's about the Lao burger. What is this delectable, flavor filled, multi textured, umami dream? First bite and it was "What?!" I had to check that there wasn't bleu cheese since I'm allergic, but the flavor profile of this burger is off the charts. Off the charts impressive and delectably craveable. We came back again for our last meal in Seattle to repeat the above choices. It was that good. We added the hand cut fries and those were wonderful as well. The food is wonderful, love the ambiance, love the music choices and love the ultra heavy front door!!! We will return! Keep up the work you do!! Magic is created in that lil kitchen!!! read more

I feel so lucky to live so close to this place. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Their cheeseburger is what In N Out wishes it was. Thick fries and seasoned perfectly I really can't ask for much else. The chefs are cool and servers are kind. I always do takeout but there's a small seating area if you wanna hang out there too. read more

It was our first time and the smashed burgers were tasty and juicy. We will definitely go back again.

Burger was decent, fries were okay, and it took forever to be served. The cook had long unwashed hair that wasn't tied back, so he kept having to touch it while preparing food. GROSS!!! read more

Generally with a burger the bun, cheese, sauce, and toppings play supporting roles to the star of the show, the patty. With the Lao burger however, its greatness lies not its in its patty but its balance of flavors. The blend of beef, pork, and tomatoes provides an incredibly meaty flavor while the pickled onions and cilantro cut through the richness of the mayonnaise and cheese. To top everything off, the taro stem brings a uniquely satisfying crunch different from the typical burger lettuce. Imo, the burger is best eaten on a mild summer day, on the porch with a side of fries. :) read more

Ox Burger - Lao burger with French Fries - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Quick easy spot for a casual meal. I ended up here looking for a good solo meal. Lao burger was a great choice. Easy to grab a counter seat at the 4 seat bar (there's a few two tops and if you're lucky, a four top in this relatively small space). Burger had a lot of great, unique flavors, definitely a hefty greasy burger. I enjoyed it! Kinda want to come back to try my true love, their take on a fried chicken sandwich, but it seems really hard to justify ordering anything other than their their go to staple On a Tuesday 800, it was easy to find seating but this place was not empty and there would occasionally be a small line of people ordering to go. So looks to be a place with high fluctuation in crowdedness read more

Deluxe burger bomb. Fish sandwich flop. I didn't like the garlic aioli either... tasted weird with the lime or zest in there. The fries were great, love the seasoning ! But ketchup cost extra?? Saddd thankfully had some ketchup at home I would go back for the deluxe burger. -1 for the unwelcome feels coming in -1 for the fish. Batter was too thick and just tasted cardboardy wish I got the burger instead read more

Great happy hour burger spot! Surprised it wasn't busier. Pretty casual spot where you order at the counter, and they bring the food out to you. During happy hour a burger + fries is only 8 bucks.

Two stars are for the absolutely stellar fries. Crispy, well seasoned little nuggets of potato goodness. One star because my fiancé loved his burger. Not a fan of the burgers. Fiancé had the Lao burger (which I tried) and I had the deluxe burger. The deluxe burger was nothing to write home about - it was fine, but nothing special or unique. Their burger sauce is just mayo/mustard/ketchup - it needed a relish or something to bring it together. The Lao burger was an absolute no from me. It just tasted of lime leaves and nothing else, and the lime flavor completely overpowered everything on the burger. It was so out of balance that I struggled to finish my portion. The condiments are likewise so heavy handed on the lime that I didn't taste anything else. The garlic aioli should be renamed as lime aioli with garlic. Their signature sauce, the jaew bong mayo, tastes about the same, with the addition of a fishy note from their fish sauce. I ordered a side of regular mayo that they forgot (they also did not give us utensils even though I asked). I'm usually a big fan of fusion food but this felt incredibly forced and so heavy handed on the lime. Sad because I was very excited to try this place. read more

I love Taurus Ox, so I was really excited to try this spot! The restaurant itself is pretty small but there are a few indoor and outdoor tables. The service was quick and the staff was super friendly. We got some fries for the table and they were good but got super salty towards the bottom of the basket. I liked the Lao burger, especially the lemongrass and cilantro. I still like the burger from Taurus ox better because it's slightly different, but this is a great casual place for takeout! read more

Saw this place on TikTok and thought to try it. My girlfriend and I split the Deluxe Ox + Seasoned fries. Total was just over $19. It was enough for us to split but if you were really hungry you could've probably finished it on your own. (We're also 5'4/~130lbs). Your dad, brother, or hungry friend would probably be okay having this meal to themselves which makes it pretty expensive. Taste was great- the fries were a bit salty for my taste but we really liked the burger! read more

Got the Lao burger and the deluxe, both very juicy and flavorful burgers. Honestly have nothing bad to say about them.

We got there and it turned out to be happy hour which was a pleasant surprise. The burger and fries deal for 8 bucks is a good deal along with a buck off for draft. The burger itself was fairly underwhelming with flavors/toppings and size. The fries were good and their ox hot sauce seemed like a light cholula sauce. read more

I'm not the biggest burger fan around, but when I saw a Laotian burger spot opened up in Cap Hill, I had to give it a shot, so my girlfriend and I gave these guys a visit towards the end of their afternoon happy hour on a Friday. We placed our order before taking a seat at one of the few tables outside. We ordered the Ox Burger with fries and a Lao Burger. We also got a side of their sambal agave mustard sauce. Within 10 minutes of ordering, one of the staff delivered our food right to our outside table. We both eagerly took our first bites of each of the burgers, and our eyes immediately widened. Upon my first bite of that Lao Burger, I knew it was one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. The double smash patties that use a beef and pork combination provided an umani unlike any I've had in a burger before, then you get acidity from the provolone jaew tomato and pickled red onion. And instead of your traditional greens that you'd see on burgers, you get a bunch of cilantro to give you the needed freshness and slight crunch. The Ox Burger was also very impressive - it seemed like an upgraded version of your traditional fast food cheeseburgers. They use the same patty as in the Lao Burger, but only one instead of two. Then the slight smokiness from the grilled onions, acidity from the ketchup, and the melty umaniness from the American cheese brings the whole burger together to create this unique Laotian rendition of the American cheeseburger. The fries that came with the Ox Burger were extremely crispy, and it really felt like a complete meal with them. They were just a touch overseasoned, but I didn't mind. Their sambal agave mustard (their take on honey mustard) gave us an option if we wanted to add a slight heat to our burgers. Pricing-wise, because we went during happy hour, we paid ~$25 for our meal, which I feel is reasonable given the quality. If you go during normal hours, it may feel a slight bit pricey compared to other burger spots around. But how often are you going to see a Laotian burger anywhere, let alone a well-executed one? The atmosphere is very casual. You order at the register then choose where you want to sit. There's some small tables inside and what looked like bar seating, and there are also some outdoor tables. None of the tables were massive so I wouldn't recommend coming here in group larger than 4. This place is on the edge of Cap Hill as it turns into Central District. There's tons of street parking around, and it honestly isn't too far of a walk from the central part of Cap Hill. I'm torn because I want them to grow and expand, but don't want the news getting out about this place so it gets crowded. I guess be sure to try them before that time comes, because news will get out eventually. read more

These burgers are absolutely bomb. I've tried both the Lao Burger and the Ox deluxe. Both have a thick well cooked patty and high quality ingredients. If you're in the mood for a classic burger the Ox definitely checks that box, but the Laos burger is super unique. The sauce, fried pork, and pickled veggies all work fantastically with each other to create a really unique meal. Service has been great every time I've been there, though it's just counter service where they bring the meal out. Ambience is a hit for me, the outdoor patio is beautiful and comfortable. If you make it here when it's drizzling the sound of rain on the roof feels like quintessential Seattle. About 1/3 of the time though, the local homeless population will approach me while eating outside here. All my interactions have been positive, but worth noting regardless. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! read more

Great service, great food. The happy hour was a really good deal and the people were friendly and fast with service.

APIHM #7: I have never been to Taurus Ox nor have I been to Ox burger so I cannot speak on the service or ambiance (yet) but earlier this week, my boyfriends mom picked up dinner for us from here. I got the Lao Burger and by the time it got to us it was slightly cold but it was still SO good! I'm not sure if I was super hungry or if it was just super good (Both answers are correct haha!), but i devoured it in minutes! I have never had a burger with these kinds of flavors and I think that is why it stands out to me-- cured pork belly, taro stem, pickled red onion, cilantro and more. I cant wait to go back, for myself, and try more things of their menu.. or maybe the same burger because it was just so good!! read more

It was good but not the best. Small space. I got the deluxe burger with bacon. Next time, I'll try the Laos burger..

Ox Burger is perfect got a single patty for 6$ Side of fries big enough for two, a little bit to much salt but good cut of fries. Garlic aioli & burger sauce for dipping preferred the garlic aioli & hot sauce for dipping but burger does goes great with the burger itself. Ambiance is overall pretty clean, it is a smaller place with awkward parking due to all the construction. Quick & friendly service. Definitely coming back read more

Great burgers - wish they had a gluten free bun option. Don't know why they don't... If they did, I give them 5 stars.

good food but not a lot of seating :( had to end up eating with friends in the car which wasn't ideal

This place is awesome. Super great service, and one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The patty got crispy on the edges, perfect proportions, super flavorful. The ox fries were also a stand out with great sauces on them. Definitely will be back! read more
