    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

    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!

    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

    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!

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!

    Overall I'm impressed…read more Pros: -Everything we got was great. -The Thicky burger really was thick and very filling. It was priced at $16, which feels steep for a burger with no sides, but after eating it I'm not mad at that price. Meat patty was SO well seasoned. Probably the most seasoned meat patty I've ever had. Honestly I'm not 100% sure what else was in that burger but it was tasty and unique. Don't think I've had a similar burger elsewhere. The "thickles" (pickles) were sweeter than normal but I actually sort of liked that. -Brussel sprouts are as good as other reviewers say. -Jojos were super fluffy and soft on the outside with a crispy exterior -None of the food was overly oily, which surprised me a little. I expected the find a puddle of oil under the sprouts or for the jojos to seep oil in my to-go container but that wasn't the case at all -Service was super nice! Cons: -Only concern about this place is cleanliness/food safety. I'm not saying it's dirty, but it wasn't exactly clean either. I did see grease stains on the window peering into the kitchen, smudges on the fridge, chicken thigh sitting out (possibly about to be used?), cheese wheel out, number buzzer for our order was greasy, etc. Napkins on the outside were stained with oil. Neutral/Notes: -This place is located inside Future Primitive Brewery.

    First of all, this place is filthy. Absolutely gross dirty. Like, how has it not been shut down?…read moreNot to mention the guy with ungloved hands touching all of the food, and tapping on payment machines.

    This is another great example of a place with a high score but few reviews. There is truth in all…read morethe reviews I read, but here is my unfiltered feedback. The burger here was tasty and I think it's far better than Little Chicken up the road. That said, the tiny patty is way overpriced. It was $10 for cheeseburger and fries and I could have had the same thing at Dicks for about $7. There also was no water, you had to purchase drink and the prices were high 2.50 for a can, 3.50 for a bottle. Ask me, they should have a combo and a can would have come with what I purchased. The women could not have been nicer, but I'd never come back. I paid $11 for $6 worth of food. Again the burger was tasty, but I need 2 patties for that price.

    We ordered their cheesesteak, bacon and cheese burger, mozzarella sticks and ice-cream churro…read more Everything cost a little under $50.00 Their burger is solid, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheddar cheese, medium-rare burger with bacon. I asked for extra jalapeños for a little kick. Cheesesteak was decently seasoned with melted cheese. The bread was a bit chewy. Their churro ice-cream came with your ice-cream flavor of choice (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry). The lady at the front drizzled it with some chocolate syrup and whip cream to turn it into a sundae. Although their menu shows 0.50 for condiments, each order came with a side of their house dipping sauce and ranch. We were also given a bag of ketchup, hot sauce, bbq sauce packets at no extra cost. Overall was a good meal, not over-the-top amazing, but decent for the price.
