Time of experience: 4:45 Food ordered: two piece Fish n' chips Caramelized onion and Brie burger. Fish and chips: absolutely terrible overly drenched in oil! I would say undercooked, but I do like my fish a little well done however, it was just too raw in my opinion. The chips which I had to add my own salt and pepper to was the best part of the meal. Burger: solid, the onions were slightly cold but the combination was delicious. Burger was not cooked to temperature requested (one the undercooked side). I'm not picky, I'm sure they would have cooked it more if I had asked. Summary: We must have caught them on an off night. Everyone was friendly, the fries were solid, and the price was decent. We will have to give them a chance to redeem themselves. Ps. If your interested in a good drink and appetizer-- next door is great read more

We came here to try the fish & chips but didn't expect to be so delighted by the burger as well! If you love a crispy, fluffy batter, this is the place for you. We were impressed by how the fish stayed perfectly moist inside while delivering a satisfying crunch. We only got one piece for the fish and chips, but it was a hefty portion with a decent amount of fries. The pigfish burger seemed simple at first glance--just a classic burger on paper--but it had so many great layers: smoky bacon, a sturdy bun, a nice char, a well-seasoned patty, yummy cheese, and a delicious house aioli. Sometimes, a simple burger done right hits the spot best! We'll definitely be back--either to order these again or to try their rotating specials. read more

I enjoyed coming here! The neighborhood and shop itself are very cute. I ordered the spicy fish sandwich which came with fries but I upgraded to truffle fries. My boyfriend got the fish tacos and upgraded his salad to garlic Asiago fries. The batter on the fish was suuuuper light and crispy. I marveled at how something fried could taste so light! Servings were also generous. Would definitely come back. Not much seating though. Only 2 booths, I think 2-3 tables, and some window seating. Not great for large crowds. Probably a party of 4 or less. I overhear: one of the workers say they make their own tartar sauce so that was cool. My only complaint was that the fries were incredibly oily. When we moved the paper boat the fries came in, there was a little puddle of oil and the paper was soaked through. Also didn't think the spicy fish sandwich was spicy. read more

We ordered food for pick-up: fish and chips, grilled fish tacos, and a fish burger. The food was awful that we had to throw everything away, wasting $50 and leaving us hungry. The fish and chips were so greasy with no taste. Even the fries were not seasoned. The fish tacos were filled with cabbage and mayonnaise with barely any fish. It was disgusting - Not sure how they can call these fish tacos, they were slaw tacos. We hadn't been here for a while and the food quality has definitely declined. We're so disappointed that with all the choices in Burien, we chose to order from Pigfish. Never again! This establishment should be ashamed of the food quality they serve for the prices they charge. Pure garbage! Shameful!!! read more

Best fish and chips I have had in a long time! The outside was crispy but the fish was still flaky and moist. They service was excellent and the patio is a beautiful spot for a beer and fries. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience! read more

Tried this place via doordash for dinner one night. We got a fish sandwich, a classic burger, asiago garlic fries and onion rings. I was pleasantly surprised that the fish was still crispy and delicious after its 8 mile steam session in a takeout container. The burger was good and the onion rings were awesome. Fries were a bit cold but perked right up after a couple minutes in the air fryer. Will definitely order from here again. read more

This is your classic hidden gem! After picking up my wife from the airport in the evening with my teenage kids, I was hoping to find a spot, not too far away, where everyone could find something they liked. I was not disappointed! Two of us ordered burgers, My Son got the fish and chips, and my wife got the Baja fish tacos. Everybody thought the food was delicious, promptly served in a very friendly manner. These days is as rare to walk out of a restaurant with my family and have the bill be less than 100 bucks. I was incredibly and pleasantly surprised at how reasonable everything was. Everyone had plenty to eat, and only wished that this was a neighborhood restaurant that we could frequent more often. Highly recommended! read more

Great lil spot in downtown Burien. Cozy joint. Smiling staff. All plates done with care. Have fun!

I can't believe this was my first time trying pigfish. I had the Philly cheesesteak on a GF bun. It was delicious. My main complaint is that it was a little spicy, and the fries were just ok. I ordered it to go so maybe it would be better if I sat and ate it fresh. Overall super delicious! read more

Stopped in on a Friday night for dinner, just before 6p and it wasn't busy. Counter staff was friendly and patient as we looked over the menu. We settled on the Spicy Fish Burger and kids cheese burger meal. Spicy Fish was a crispy beer battered filet with spicy mayo on a crisp salty pickles bed. Cheese burger was pretty standard but my son appreciated the pickles being left on the side. You can never go wrong with fresh cut fries.. they were salted to perfection. All in all I would return and try something else on the menu, since there were several other options that looked appealing like the pastrami on rye or pigfish burger or caramelized onion burger.. all paired with hand cut fries feels like a win! read more

About a year ago, I ate across the street at Classic Eats. Highly rated and reviewed restaurant. After having a really good breakfast there, we returned the following week for lunch At that point, I had a burger that was mediocre and quite honestly, far overpriced. I remember looking out the window and feeling like we should have tried Pigfish instead. We finally made it back for Pigfish and this was without a doubt one of the best burgers I've ever had. Well-seasoned, high-quality ingredients and a generous portion of fries. We left completely full and satisfied. My only issue was my burger was just meat and cheese. It didn't say anything about lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion, but I assumed it was all standard and included. If I return, I'll request it as that would have been next level. I've had Little Big Burger, Elliot Bay, Paul's Burger Joint, Smokey's and every other burger in Burien, this is the undisputed champ and possible contender to unseat the Kobe Burger at The Met. Not an area I get to often, but I will certainly be back. 100% worth every dime and I don't get a chance to say that often. read more

Very overrated, frozen fish and chips with batter falling off super greasy place is kind of grimy don't wanna touch the ketchup bottles, etc. small joint, friendly enough counter help but you could tell she knew things were going downhill. read more

A small local burger joint in Burien. Order at the counter & seat yourself. There are 2 tables inside & outdoor seating in the patio. The staff will bring your order to your table. Drinks are self-service. All burgers are cooked to order & come with fries. We got the classic burgers which were perfectly cooked to our liking & we loved the crispy cooked fries with the spicy sauce it came with! All in All, a good neighborhood burger joint! read more

The gruyre burger special was TO DIE FOR. Just a 5oz. burger, so simple but amazingly delicious and fresh, with a perfect bun, and lots of very crispy bacon. The fries are hot, crispy, plentiful, and their spicy aoili dipping sauce is on point. Everything I've had here is so good. Very reasonable prices, too. Love! read more

My family and I love Pig Fish! The best fish sandwich I've ever had, honestly and truly! And I don't really like fish sandwiches like that and to even crave them but Pig Fish Cafe has made the one for me! Consistently delicious, a pretty big cut of beer battered rock fish fried to fluffy perfection, light and not too heavy. Dressed with a little veg and their house made tartar sauce on a warm brioche bun! If a fish sandwich would be decadent in all the right ways this one is! They also have great fish n chips, tacos, varieties of burgers/sandwiches, meals for kiddos and specials. The restaurant is small but very welcoming! They have a counter at the entrance window with 4 seats, three 2-4 seater booths, and a little patio out back that has a back yard vibe. You pay up front and they bring your meal to you. Customer service is always good and helpful. Like I said the best fish sandwich everrrr (in my opinion) go try for yourself! read more

Pigfish is an amazing little spot in downtown Burien. I have had three different meals here now - fried fish tacos, California club, and avocado bacon cheeseburger - all were 10/10! The quality is amazing, and talk about satisfying. The owner is so kind and it's cool you can watch him fire up the grill and cook your meal right in front of you. This is our new spot, go try it as soon as you can! read more

My family and I were starving after our flight into Seattle. I was craving sandwiches and my son was craving fries, so we were pretty excited to find Pigfish nearby on the Yelp app. Unfortunately, we felt that the restaurant did not live up to our expectations. The food was decent but not 5 stars good. The Pigfish Burger had really good ingredients. There was a super fatty (and super delicious) beef patty that was covered in heavy mayo sauce. The first few bites were really tasty, but you really needed something to balance out the fat over time. The Hot Pastrami had barely any pastrami and a lot of mustard, so the mustard over-powered the actually pastrami. As for the fries, we upgraded to the truffle fries for one of our dishes. I think it could have been a real star but the fries themselves were not very crispy. They felt like they could have used another minute or two in the fryer. The truffle flavor itself was really well done; not overwhelming but obviously there. Again, just a little more crisp and it would have been really special. read more

A friend introduced me to this restaurant a few weeks ago- went back for lunch this week and i didnt dream it! Awesome food! Gluten free options, all i had to do is say grilled not battered. And hand cut fries! You know the difference when you can taste what you're eating potato not grease and salt- the sandwich did not disappoint- every bite was delicious and fresh- friendly service- actually asked about my allergies- gave suggestions and clear instructions how to order off their website when i have a short lunch. Love love this place! (Sorry no pics - will try next time but i couldn't wait to dig in!) read more

We got take out from here and it was delicious! I wasn't the one who picked up the order so i'm not sure how service was but I didn't hear any complaints! I got the chicken tenders and onion rings with the spicy aioli. For the most part, my meal was delicious! However, I do wish the chicken tenders had a little more flavor to them, but I LOVED the panko crust and they didn't have any weird texture throughout them. read more

We found this cozy place and we were thrilled with our food! I had the Pigfish burger and my wife had the cheeseburger. Both were cooked perfectly medium, and came hot and juicy. The accompanying fries were fresh, hot, crispy and salted just right. Do not let the small size of this establishment fool you. The kitchen is right out in the open and we got a great feeling when you hear your burger on the grill. Thanks for a great burger and an incredibly pleasant surprise. We're not from Seattle, but if we were, we'd be back often read more

Read the reviews and came to check out the Pigfish. Helped that my normal stop (Burien Fish House) was closed on Mondays. Pigfish Cafe will now make it in the rotation when I come to Burien. Had an especially great spicy fish sandwich. The fish was fresh, plentiful and had an airy crispy beer batter that is as light as great tempura. The spice came in the sauce and was a nice touch and not overly spicy. They provided a separate container of sauce for fries or for the sandwich. I read reports of limp fries, but my fries were much better than that. They were crispy at the beginning, but did soften over time. No complaints though. Service was very pleasant and friendly. Got my food very quickly (less than 10 minutes) and it was freshly made! They have limited seating, so be aware that if you have a party of more than 2, there are only a couple of tables for you. Takeout is a fine option. Will be back for sure. Would like to try their Painted Hills beef burgers next. Highly recommended! Great local place read more

We tried this place after it first opened and had a review In the local paper. However I was not impressed. I had the fish and chips and there was a 1/4" layer of frying oil in the bottom of my container and fries were soggy and everything was super oily. Flavor of everything was Meh! Counter service was friendly ambiance was ok. Super small seating area. I gave it two stars. I've been back since and tried a different item and it was ok. Small seating area remains. I didn't have the problem with the oil this time around. So I've upped my review to 3 stars read more

They have great sandwiches here. A wonderful back deck to sit on when the weather is nice as well.

Cute, small, and cozy! Was going to order the cold cut Italian sandwich, but asked the two employees for their favorite sandwich and one of their suggestions was the hot pastrami on rye, so that it what I had and it was delicious! Lots of meat, mustard, cheese and toasted to perfection! The fry sauce was outstanding and fries were excellent. Moving to the fish tacos. Get the fish tacos! They are so good! The batter is sweet, put the hot sauce on them and it was a perfect pair! We sat outside, had an amazing lunch, great food and excellent customer service! read more

The staff was very friendly but the food was so greasy and really not what you'd expect from such a high review in Downtown Burien.

January 2026/2 PM. I went there to eat for the first time since the restaurant opened six years ago. I was very dissatisfied. I ordered the two piece, fish and chips and upgraded my fries to garlic aïoli Parmesan fries. At first bite, the fish was OK, but it was a little greasy on the bottom, the fries if they had garlic on them had very little because they had no garlic flavor. I paid $1.50 more for this upgrade of fries. Second of all the condiments bottles. The ketchup bottle was so gross and disgusting. I didn't even want to use the ketchup same for the mustard. I didn't use the mustard, but I checked the bottle and it was gross. The malt vinegar for the fish it wouldn't come out of the spout and I looked at it and it was clogged and then when I looked at the malt vinegar, there was all kinds of stuff floating in it. It was sickening. These people obviously don't care about their restaurant. We sat at the table by the window, which was very sticky. I'm sorry to say this. Because I was really anticipating a nice experience at the PigFish restaurant. This did not happen today. I will never go back again nor will I recommend this place. It was a waste of my money which I work hard for like anybody else. read more

What a pleasant unexpected discovery. Was picking up cookies at Treat sown the street we found parking and decided to grab lunch in the hood hadn't been to the part of Burien before. We looked at the menu outside and it sounded great they also had a number of specials posted. Sad got the fish and chips cane with coleslaw. I went with the fish tacos which came with a fresh green green salad lightly and perfectly dressed. What was perfect about this place is the fish was piping hot and perfectly cooked. Friendly and helpful staff. Short wait with indoor or outdoor seating. Seems like very neighborhood joint the staff seem to know many if the diners coming in or picking up orders. The rug said they were established in 2019 glad they were able to survive through covid. read more
