Spicy Fish Sandwich with truffle fries upgrade. Fish tacos with garlic Asiago fries upgrade in the back
Kathy N.

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.

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!

Enjoyed this hidden gem in the heart of burien. Fo not pass up on their food, their atmosphere and their amazing customer service and a spot that says comfort, enjoy.

Philly cheesesteak and truffle fries
Gabriele E.

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!

Spicy Fish

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!

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!

Fish Sandwich
Peka G.

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!

Pigfish burger

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.

Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger
Cara B.

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!

Burgers were so juicy, music was on point, service was great, and the best gluten free bun I've had. 10/10 would go again.

The customer service was great, the young man was very helpful. The store was clean and quiet. We found a table right away, no wait. I ordered the Chicken and fries with white clam chowder. My cousin ordered the Salmon and fries with red clam chowder. The drinks are whatever you choose, you just pay for cup size. My chicken was good but I enjoyed the chowder more. My cousin said her food was good but her red chowder tasted too much like tomato. I decided to ask for a Senior Citizen application and I noticed another young lady came on shift, she looked right at me and ignored me and then proceeded to go in the back. I decided to wait at the front counter for the application just to see how long I would wait. One of the Cooks acknowledged my presence and gave me a application. I went to the car to fill it out and when I came back to turn it in I was happy to see the young gentleman that helped us earlier, he greeted me with a smile and politely took the application. I will patronize Ivars again, just not that location

This was my second time going to Salty Blue. On my first visit I had their fried seafood combo,…read morewhich included fried fish that was not cod. In my previous review I admitted that it wasn't my favorite kind of fried fish. This time I ordered fried shrimp with the optional salad. Six large shrimp with a large salad. Wonderful. I'm originally from New Orleans so good fried shrimp makes me feel happy. The inside can be a bit loud. An Asian woman sitting near us gave my friend a dirty look because he was talking loudly so I could hear him! We moved outside for a beer and more conversation and this is where we will eat next time. I have to add how personable the staff and owners are. They stopped by our table several times and we enjoyed conversations. We definitely will include Salty Blue in our lunch rotation in the future. My friend enjoyed his fish and chips.

Was honestly leaning toward a full 5 stars after this visit, but since I've only eaten here once so…read morefar I'll hold that final judgment until I make it back again which I absolutely will soon. The fish burger was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh tasting, and one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you immediately know someone in the kitchen actually cares. Easily one of the better fish sandwiches I've had around Seattle recently. The chowder was the only thing that held me back slightly. For my personal taste it was a bit more watery than I typically prefer, as I usually lean toward a thicker richer chowder. That said, the flavor itself was excellent and honestly overcame most of that initial thought after a few bites. What truly stood out though was the service. Absolutely fantastic people here. Genuine, attentive, welcoming, and the kind of staff that makes a place memorable beyond just the food. That level of attentiveness and care honestly feels rare nowadays and they deserve full marks for hospitality alone. Overall this place left a very strong impression on me. Great seafood, quality ingredients, and a spot I'm genuinely looking forward to revisiting soon. I can already tell this may end up becoming a regular stop for me after another visit or two.

There appeared to be kiosks for ordering (I had ordered online earlier) and ample seating for dining in or waiting. I didn't stray much past the counter as my order ready to go by the time I'd gotten there. I got the 1/3lb Cheeseburger and Fries. While the burger wasn't seasoned as well as I'd have liked, the toppings were all plentiful and fresh and the fries were some of the best I've had. The amount of food was not disappointing, either. Overall, I'd consider this a great place to be my new go-to and will be back soon.

They had many options including chicken and fish. The burgers are offered in 1/4 or 1/3 pound. For our first time here I decided on the basic cheeseburger. Looked great when we got it.

The fries were also very good with some light seasoning. You can order from a kiosk or the counter. The person who took our order was very nice and the food came out quickly. Overall this was a very good experience and we would come back again. Enjoy!

Period. No notes. I've been here a couple of times now, and everything I've had has been memorable, which is not something I say lightly about sandwiches- a category that can betray you! The Ragnar's Club is a stellar concoction of herb roasted chicken breast, bacon, cheese, and apple jalapeño slaw. It's a delicious mess. The kind where things are happening all at once and every single thing is a good idea. Absolutely outstanding. On my most recent visit, I had the Fidel Cashflow, which features some of the most tender, perfectly seasoned pork belly I've had on a sandwich. It's like an Uber Cubano--familiar, comforting, but leveled up with serious execution. Two visits, two excellent sandwiches, which now has me fully convinced that everything on the menu is as good as it looks. I trust them. I would let them choose my sandwich destiny. Service is super friendly. You order at the counter, but you're met with genuine smiles and a helpful, welcoming attitude that makes you feel like you made a very good life choice. Parking isn't the easiest, but you'll figure it out. The space itself is tiny, with just a few tables, so while you can eat there, a lot of people seem to grab it to go--presumably to eat it somewhere quiet and reflect on how good it was. Sandwich shops are a dime a dozen. Really good ones are a special find. This is a really good one. Destination-worthy
