I totally love the onion rings! Also the salmon burger. It's a fillet of salmon grilled and served on a bun with tartar lettuce and tomato. Also the customer service is nice. read more

Pepperdock Restaurant - The awesome onion rings - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Excellent place to eat and get ice cream. Can not speak any more highly of the staff and service. Also some eye candy at the yummy ice cream scoopers;) read more

Truly the BEST burgers on Alki Beach. The fries are great and if you order a combo you get a cheeseburger, fries and three onion rings. The onion rings are deep fried in something good, I honestly couldn't figure it out, but i liked it! The service is beyond medicore. I called one day to see what time they opened and all i got was, "what? what? We are open NOW!" slam! Doesn't matter too much though. I don't go there for service. It is a great place to people watch and the last time i went there i sat in the back part of the joint and there were balloons and banners exclaiming, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It wasn't my birthday but when i bit into my burger is sure felt like it! read more

Food is mediocre at best, greasy tables and chairs, dark decor, poor service, no kids menu. When I told the owner the ice cream had bad freezer burn he said , "what do you expect....this has been sitting here since last season". Well, I guess you gotta appreciate his honesty ;-) read more

Great ice cream on a hot summer day in a perfect location by the beach! I recommend any of the sorbets!

Stopped by after biking to get some grub! The ppl who work there are very friendly and I like that shit! Bad customer service can play a big role on how your food taste. I got a basic chickaaaan Sammie with some bacon bc bacon makes everything taste better but you already knew that. I also got fried mushrooms I think whatever it was it was good!!! Chill place on alki! read more

I'd say Pepperdock is A-Ok first and foremost because it's across the street from Alki Beach and everybody knows how important Location Location Location is. My aunts who owned a small restaurant for a long time would call this a "greazy spoon" and I call it a "burger dive" all in a heart-felt good way because greazy spoons and dives usually have soul. Getting a Pepperdock burger, fries, and malted shake on a nice spring and summer day is an indulgence that makes me smile. Often I stop in during warm days and get ice cream on a big ol' waffle cone. And these little pleasures are worth a lot. And an honest little neighborhood business is supported. So come on down to the beach and get a burger :) Just don't litter while you're down here. I really hate that. read more

Consistently great service from the whole staff. Here's a fine example: we went in on a slow Sunday and ask for the 5pc fish and chips. It comes out with six pieces. The owner explains that the fish were a little small that day so he threw in an extra. That's Pepperdock looking out for their customers. read more

Now run by a Korean family, this place has burgers that rival Red Mill, and the fries are some of the best in town. Years back this was quite a dump: bad burgers, dull employees, clear signs they had a rat problem. Now, very tasty burgers, super tasty fries, nice ice cream shakes, and no signs of rats. I do worry a little about the mayo bottles just sitting out all day (they need a little tray of ice to keep them cool), I also liked it better when they sold Husky deli ice cream. oh well. read more

Very nice staff and great location. If you want to avoid chains, this is a good spot. Several other burger places near by that are higher quality but higher priced. Burgers are decent but nothing special. read more

Pepperdock Restaurant - Double cheese. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Freshly battered fish with one of a kind seasonings, doesn't get much better. Being able to watch the ferries cross the sound as you enjoy ice cream and lunch isn't a bad thing either. read more

Was craving for a salmon burger and found that this place among all the seafood places on alki has them and it was only $10! Duke chowder house was selling salmon burgers for $24.90 (duh). Saw the chef take out a whole thick filet to drill and the end result was awesome for $10. They gave a side of fries and a lot of free tartar sauce. I dunked my salmon burger in the tartar sauce and it was tasty. The burger alone already had tartar sauce but they were generous to give more. Over at spuds they actually charge for tartar sauce and give very little. We also tried their fried mushrooms which was good but not something I was crazy about. Overall very small seating place and old but cheap good food. Can't wait to try their milkshakes and ice cream come summer! read more

Very disappointing experience: not clean! Came here for ice cream and the employee came off the register grabbed our cones without washing his hand or covering the cone. Then to put the ice cream on the cone used his fingers to take it out of the ice cream scoop. We paid and walked out and threw our ice cream in the trash. Disappointed with the cleanliness of the employees. Where's the health inspector? read more

Fantastic service and great food. Garden Burger and the sea food platter with chips were wish we would have gotten the onions rings.

The best with so much to choose from but I always get their flame Broiled burger with Home Style fries. Great owners too. An Alki staple. I need this in the long winters missing my charcoal grill read more

Went there on a recommendation. It is in a great locatio. Especially on a nice day. The food was good. Order the fish and chips. Make sure to save room for the ice cream ( the cotton candy flavor rocks! It's cool looking too) The only thing I was disappointed with was the onion rings. They are homemade and would think that would give them an edge up. NOT at all. Greasy! Stay away from the onion rings NOT everything else. Great food at good prices. Now that is rare. read more

This is the best fish and chips I have had in Seattle. It is in a more remote spot that my friend took me to because I "would probably never make it over there otherwise". He was right and boy was I glad he took me. Good little spot. We got some greasy grub and ice cream. It all hit the spot, and the prices were reasonable. Sorry Ivar's this place is better. read more

Wow they have a super cute cashier his name is nick u should hit him up. They have ice cream and a lot of different seafood too!

Cashier was off in they're own world Did not give me my order charged me 4.99 for 6 small onion rings and when I realized my burger didn't have bacon on it I went back and they took my eaten burger and put bacon on it instead of making me another for wasting my time the burgers there are also quite small also the burger was supposed to come with fries didn't get ANY waste of time and not good enough to treat customers like that read more

For a greasy fast food restaurant Pepperdocks is pretty good. My kids are always happy and come away satisfied. They have been there for years so they must be doing something right. We went today for ice cream and kids were happy. read more

Kind of a hole in the wall, but good food and good service, right across from the beach and all Alki offers so it is a good place to go while taking a long walk .... read more

I have went to Pepperdock here and there for years, ever since I was in high school but when I went to eat there recently the burgers have definitely changed. I remember when I'd get the king bacon burger and it was nice thick strips of bacon that would hang out of the burger! Not thin broken up pieces of bacon. It's still a good burger, not as good as before but it's not bad. read more

I had my first Pepperdocks burger in 1977 after moving to Alki from New Orleans as a diver for a local tug boat company. Now living in the Portland area I will have to revisit this old friend the next time I get to Seattle. It was great then and looks like it has carried its reputation on for some time.

We discovered this place when looking for someplace fun and cheap on the beach for my birthday dinner. It was the perfect choice for how I wanted to celebrate--we had a great view of the sound (managed to snag a table in front of the window), the service was great, the prices were very reasonable, and the food was excellent! In fact, my partner said it was the best salmon burger they'd had since we moved to Seattle three years ago. So, I guess that's an endorsement for the salmon burger! There was a line when we got there around 7:45 on a Monday night so my guess is the place is always hopping. But it was worth the short wait. read more

Family owned great service as far as ordering food and asking lots of questions about the menu and our questions were answered by the chef. Older table and chairs this place could use a face lift. But food was great we ordered burgers and fries good prices-fish and chips were good too. read more

I don't know what her problem is, but this is my second time here. She always has an attitude with me. Like no matter how nice and civil I am with her she'll roll her eyes if I ask for sauce. Like really!! This is the last time I'll show my face here. Its crazy because she'll start out really nice but her customer service isn't authentic at all. read more

If I lived in Seattle, I would come here once a week and it's not necessarily because of the food. It's because it's right on the water and the most inviting setting around! Now, this is a good spot to visit on a sunny day and might be a little chilly on a cloudy one. It's a restaurant without many frills but the food is good! You order something such as fish and chips like me and then you take it and eat it by the water along the beach. It's entirely relaxing and enjoyable. The fish and chips were fried goodness and made for a perfect beachfront meal. If you're in the area, stop in for some food and enjoy it on a bench on the beach! read more

We stopped by to get ice-cream for the kids. It said $2.00 for each of the ice-creams they had chosen. We go to pay for them and the guy...the manager that is, rang one up for $3. When we asked him about that he said - "Oh he said we just changed the price on that!" We told him he needs to charge what it says. So he comes around the counter extremely angry (such good customer service, especially for a manager) and changes the price in front of us. We still tell him that he has to charge us what it said. He had our $5 in his hand, debating whether to give us back our dollar. So then he THROWS the dollar at us and we have to catch it! Is that ridiculous or what! He really didn't give a darn how he treated us and it didn't phase him that what he did was inappropriate and unethical. We asked who he was and he is the nephew of the owner, the lady, his aunt, who is usually cooking is the owner. So there really is no one to tell about this experience. We have been there several times for burgers and shakes, and it's decent. But good grief why should we return now after that uneccesary exchange? read more

I've been on a huge ice cream kick since visiting Seattle and they definitely hit the spot! Big portions and just so good!! The cashier was incredibly nice and friendly. On the beach with beautiful views! Definitely recommend. read more

A fellow Yelper invited me to lunch today. She recommended this place to eat, and I'm very glad she did. Coming from the South, I love nothing more than a good, greasy burger. This place hit the spot. It was packed with beachgoers getting ice cream, as it is conveniently located right across the street from Alki Beach. The mushroom cheeseburger is to die for, as was recommended to me. The malts are pretty good as well. If you're down on Alki getting some sun, or just out for a stroll, stop in here to grab a bite. You WONT be disappointed. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. It's the epitome of your typical greasy beach spot. They have a bunch of fried things, burgers, chicken sandwiches, fish and chips and a few other greasy fried items I can't remember but I don't go for that. I go for their ice cream it's the best down on the beach, always a line but well worth the wait when you're looking for an icy cold treat while hanging out on the beach. Grab a cone or get a shake than continue to walk down Alki it makes for a great evening trust me on this one. read more

The food is overpriced for what it is and it seems as though everything inside the establishment is constantly sticky. Its right on Alki beach, and yet the interior is so dark you almost forget it borders a bright and sunny local beach hotspot. I usually only go here once a year to see if things have improved, but after my meal i quickly remember why i only go once a year. read more

Such a fun place!! We had just hiked all day and were looking for an easy atmosphere with All American dining! This place doesn't disappoint! The salmon burger is awesome as is the regular burger and fries! They also have really delicious and unique ice cream flavors - and to top it off it is on the beach! read more

I really don't understand all the high reviews. It's not BAD food, mind you. I've been there twice, and the first time the burger didn't quite hit the spot, and the second time it was a smidge more satisfying. I love me a good mom and pop burger dive joint, so I've been to quite a few. This one, the burgers just don't have the sauce or flavor or whatever it is that makes a mom and pop burger place complete. It's kind of like eating a burger I made at home on my stove-top... It could be just a bit better. The price does make it worthwhile if you want a quick burger and are at Alki. I wouldn't ever make a special trip for it. The menu is basic. I feel like they could have a few specialty burgers to reel me in. I do think I may pop in at some point to try the deep fried mushrooms since that seems to be a thing. Had a shake there the first time... it was ok. Just like most shakes you can get at little ice cream shops like that. I would go to Husky Deli or Luna Park Cafe before here for a shake. Ambiance: I don't know where people are getting this "beach shack vibe" from. Yes, you can see Alki out the window. Views nice. Sat outside the second time, and liked the feel of sitting outside on a sunny day with Alki for the view. I'm wondering if some reviewers are overcome by the location and would not rave about the food if this were up on Delridge or something. Also, not a ton of seating. read more

this place HAS to be in the most perfect location. right smack in the middle of the strip, where all the people really hang out and socialize. Pepperdock is historical... it's been there for so long, everyone knows where and what it is. the food is delicious, the pricing is fair, and people watching is so much fun! read more

Not bad, just not exceptional. Long lines (one for each ice cream and main food), but that was to be expected on the weekend in sunny weather. Location just across the street from the beach. Food just wasn't really good. My wife and I split the fish and chips. It was okay but nothing special at all. read more

Lukewarm and mediocre meat. Other items clearly came from the frozen bulk aisle. Besides the location right next to the beach, I don't understand the allure of eating here at all (unless you get ice cream I suppose). The King Cheeseburger comes with fries and three onion rings. Aside from the patty and cheese, the burger also contains lettuce, tomato, some mayo, and diced white onion. Very simple. Simple is great if the patty carries the burger. It doesn't. In fact, the onion rings were the best part of the whole meal because they're the only things that were "fresh" and hot. The burger patty was tasteless, lukewarm, kind of freezer-burnt; the bread was stale; and the fries had clearly been sitting for a while. Additionally, the Pepper Dog is probably the least harmonious meal I've eaten all year. It's basically a hot dog with burger fixings. It comes with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickled jalapenos. Again, it probably would've been fine had the hot dog been grilled or subbed with polish sausage. Instead, it was a tasteless and textureless mess. I would've thrown it out if I wasn't hungry. There's no comparison to one of those hot dogs you can get from a stand in downtown Seattle or a Japon Dog. Save your $7 and order elsewhere. By the way, don't get more than one serving of sauce. They gave us 5 containers of ranch. Maybe just skip it altogether, because the ranch is Hidden Valley in bulk. Pepperdock staff, it doesn't take very long to make a batch of good housemade ranch and you don't have to give out as much! Disappointing food. Dick's, Fatburger, Five Guys, Sonic's, Red Robin, Loretta's, etc. or your own backyard BBQ will have better options. read more

I want to like Pepperdock. It seems to be a family run business and they seem earnest and nice and the service has been friendly. That being said, the burgers are greasy and bland and the fries are nothing to write home about. I got a hot dog here once that was pretty decent though and their milkshakes are good but there is much better tasting food to be had elsewhere. The restaurant itself seems kind of run down, not the quaint sort of run down either. read more

Super broiled burger stand. Great skins on fries. Fast friendly and a view across the street to the beach. What is not to love?

Why are there so many great reviews for this place? I had a cheese burger and it wasn't even average, it was so poor in quality I was only willing to eat about half. If I was forced to compare this burger to another I'd say it is slightly better than a Deluxe at Dick's, and I think Dick's is disturbingly bleak. The Pepperdock appears to me as a pure tourist destination. I strongly suggest to anyone planning on eating at Alki beach to bring their food with them. I'm assuming maybe the ice cream is why so many people like this place, but I didn't have the ice cream. read more
