    Bacon Double Smash
    Sabreena P.

    Great smash burgers! I ordered the spicy smash with comes with grilled sliced Jalepenos and Serrano (have an option to add habanero) also their fries are amazingly crispy and delicious. They offer some unique cereal flavored milkshakes, we tried the "Cookie Crisp" style. Service was quick. There's kiosks to order from when you walk in. They also have some beer/cider options. Definitely worth trying this place out!

    Discovered a new burger joint today! It's a nice and lovely ambiance as we walked into the establishment. Love the decor and paintings on the wall. We ended up getting a double smash burger with the signature classic sauce, aka secret sauce. The smash burger was alright. The fries batter was great and crispy and the garlic sauce with fries was delicious. Definitely enjoyed this place!

    Ok, so Secret Burger Kitchen is AMAZING! We stumbled upon this hidden gem, and WOW...SO YUMMY! Typical smash burger type thing, but like waaaaay better. The quality makes the flavor of the burger so good. Plus, what really makes Secret Burger so fun is the flavor injector. It's a giant shot of yummy goodness. The fries are perfectly fried and salted too. Service is great. You order off a kiosk, and the super friendly staff brings over your food in like 10 minutes or so. Place is packed and busy. Secret Burger is a keeper for sure!

    I got the basic smash burger with fries Meat was seasons super well, I wish the cheese was pre melted and that the onions were cooked into the patty (they were raw instead). Fries seasoned super well, I really liked them! Restaurant was clean, service was kind, he brought my food out really fast, checked in with me to see how o enjoyed it, and told me they have free refills on my pop. Music was great, some drake and OutKast. Parking sucked but I lucked out when someone pulled out right when I was coming out lol. I'll be back!

    My daughter found this place on Yelp when searching for burger places in the area and since we love smash burgers, this was an easy choice. You can order on kiosks up front and there is a man at the counter that can help you as well. We ordered some delicious pear ciders from him after ordering our food on the kiosk. One daughter got the hot honey smash burger, another got the spicy vegan burger and another in our party got the single with bacon and mushrooms. I chose the Double Smashburger. They came with delicious fries that are coated with batter before frying and are my favorite type. So good. They came with a choice of sauces. The burgers had an option for sauces in a syringe for application. This novelty was fun to use (remove the cap before using!). We each loved our burgers as they were cooked wonderfully and had the charred edges. I had grilled onions on mine which helped but they weren't the Oklahoma style where the onions are smashed into the burger but just laid on top. Still pretty good. We loved this food and had great service from the employee at the counter. I will return here one day for more deliciousness.

    Amazing burger and the fries were some of the best I've had in a long time. You walk in and order at the kiosk, which will prompt you to leave a tip. One friendly employee did walk my order to my table, but other than that there's really no service to tip for. This is fast food and you're mostly interacting with a computer. Serving the "large" side of sauce in a plastic syringe is an odd idea. Can't imagine who came up with this. They seem to really want to franchise and I think this will have to be reconsidered. Good vessel for sauce, but it's going to rub so many folks the wrong way.

    I love smash burgers so I definitely worked this into the itinerary when I was in town. I definitely recommend looking at the menu online ahead of time if it's your first visit because there are so many delicious options. You can order online, or via the kiosk in the restaurant. They offer a variety of smash burgers, chicken sandwiches, chopped cheese, and burger bowls - with plant-based options for each. They also have chicken wings/tenders, a variety of sauce options, milkshakes, and a few dessert options. On this initial visit my eyes were bigger than my stomach so I ordered the ECP B&W (Burger & Wings) Box w/Fries. This option lets you choose between a classic smash burger or chicken sandwich, 4 wings in your choice of flavor, fries, and a sauce syringe. I got the burger (no lettuce, no tomato, add grilled onion and grilled serranos), hot honey wings, fries, and garlic sauce. I did the ranch syringe and added a side of garlic sauce to try. That syringe is HUGE, it's more than enough. You can't do all drums or all flats for an extra charge, I do wish that was an option. As a pepper lover I appreciate that they offer jalapeño, habanero, and serranos as toppings. I got stuffed 75% into the burger and one wing in haha. My friend ordered the Impossible Attitude Adjusta Jerk Burger and she loved it. I'd love to see burger box options that allow you to choose a secret cravings or signature smash burger option, and I think having plant-based boxes would be cool too.

    Changing my 5 star review to a 1 star review due to inefficiency of staff. Ordered online to pick up on my lunch break from work. Arrived to store to pick it up only to find it had been served to a group of drunk kids. The order required a total remake and delayed my pickup by 20 minutes (I get a. 30 min break) The staff did apologize but said "they claimed your food" blaming the drunks-.....if only there were employees to double check these things? Sad to see them declining because I'm a huge fan. Maybe hire employees who care to work and not just hangout with the customers. This has happened to me before and several others. 1 star

    Maharaji Chicken wings with a big syringe of ranch!

    I'm sorry, Secret Burger. Truly, I am. I could not keep your secret. I had to tell so many people about you! I was in Seattle visiting family and decided to pick up lunch and wanted a burger. I didn't realize I'd stay and have a burger, chicken wings and a shake! I saw the menu and HAD to sample a bit of everything. Touch screen ordering. If you know what they have, super easy. First time, take your time. Can be a lot to decide what to get. We ordered 2 burgers, the Maharaji wings, some fries, a strawberry dream drip shake and a couple of sodas. Bruh! They were all amazing!! The wings were one of the best I've ever had. Plus, a syringe of dipping sauce definitely made for a memorable experience. The place itself, really clean. Well maintained. The workers cleaned tables during their downtime. Check in with people eating. Make sure everyone is good. Really cool. Got to speak with one of the owners. Had a good conversation about their business. If you come to Hawaii, you'll kill the burger game, no doubt! ...take the hint. A great place for great food! I will be back again. The secret is out!

    First off, I have to praise the team at SBK. So helpful and several od them stopped by multiple times to enquire about the food. Never experienced that in a fast food establishment! The restaurant was spotless, including the bathroom and water/cutlery station. Now the food. I've had smashbugers in California but not here, and I don't have a frame of reference when it comes to pounds (I'm a gram and kilos kinda person). So choosing between à 1/3 or 2/3 pound burger stumped me. So I decided to go with the "double double" or thé signature 2/3 burger with sautéed onions and pickles. In a word: delicious! Generous amount of pickles, balanced toppings, fluffy and flavorful bun, and juicy patties, no dried out hockey pucks here! The only complaint would be that the ratio of meat to bun is off. So much of the patty hangs off the bun that you have to nibble around it until you get to the bun. But the burger is very flavorful and extremely juicy (I probably used 4 napkins). Fries are also delish. Hot, crispy, soft interior and a great spice on the exterior. I went at lunch and still wasn't hungry at dinner time. Next time I'll try a single patty. Definitely worth a visit and fairly priced.

    I might be able to say that this is my favorite smash burger in Seattle! Ordering was super easy with self serve kiosks, and also plenty of staff to answer questions. Came with the perfect amount of sauce, and was nicely crispy patty. Plenty of seating inside and had some cool art around the restaurant!

    What a hidden gem and underrated burger spot in Seattle! I wish I knew about this place earlier because they have one of the biggest and best tasting smash burgers. I've tried. I love the flavors and even their fries are very good too! Very friendly service, I highly recommend and would come back!

    THE BEST SMASH BURGER! We were craving a burger and decided to give this place a try. We arrived and they have 3 digital machines to place your order. There was enough available seating. They brought out our food which I have never seen any burger place do. Normally they call your name or number. I got a burger with cheese and special sauce (signature smash with cheese). It was absolutely amazing. The sauce and patty were the star of the show. Very well seasoned. Husband and I agreed they should open one near us in the Bay Area. Would come back if visiting Seattle in the future.

    I had been to Communion before and was excited to finally take my husband. The menu had changed up…read morea little since my last time but everything was still really good so no complaints there. It is a small spot (sorta) so you kind of get in where you fit in. We ended up at the bar and honestly it worked out perfectly. Our bartender was friendly, engaging and just made us feel right at home. Another staff member came through at some point and was equally as kind. The service all around was great. Now let me talk about the food because that cabbage had no business being that good. I know that sounds random but it was my favorite thing and I did not see that coming. The mac and cheese was delicious, the fried chicken was really good, and my husband was all about the rice and black eyed peas (surprisingly). I also ordered a non alcoholic drink and even though I cannot remember the name it was really good too. The only minor thing was that one of the items, I think it was the hush puppies or cornbread, came out a little lukewarm. They mentioned it can be hard to keep that particular item hot, and flavor wise it was YUM so it was not a dealbreaker. Everything else comes out fresh as it's cooked so just know timing can vary by dish. It did get crowded toward the end and they politely let us know people were waiting outside. They handled it with so much grace it did not feel uncomfortable at all. I will definitely be back. Already curious about what will be on the menu next time.

    This was hands down my favorite meal of my weekend trip. I found this spot through TikTok, and it…read morecame highly recommended. We didn't have a reservation, but after about a 10-minute wait, we were lucky enough to snag two seats at the bar. From the moment we walked in, the vibe felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The seating seems intentionally designed to bring people together, and you could see it in the mix of large groups, couples, and even solo diners. Like the name, it had a "communal" energy that made the space feel alive and intimate. The hostess, bartenders, and our waitress were all phenomenal. They were attentive and easy to talk to. Also, the playlist was good. It really added to the overall experience. We started with the sweet potato hoe cakes, and they were absolutely amazing. I loved the texture. They were soft, pillowy, and balanced. They weren't too sweet, even with the honey butter. I wish I'd ordered more to go because I haven't stopped thinking about them. I'll have to try recreating them at home. For my entree, I ordered the stuffed trout, and this is where things really took off. It's a whole fried trout stuffed with a seafood dressing (shrimp, catfish and oysters), and it immediately caught my eye on the menu. I'm not used to eating whole fish, and I don't think I'd even had trout before, but this dish was mouthwateringly good. The fish was crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned. The béarnaise sauce really set it off. There were so many layers of flavor and texture, and everything just worked together perfectly. On top of that, the presentation was stunning. I posted it on my Instagram story and immediately had people asking where my food was as from. This meal was very memorable. I have zero notes. The ambiance, food, music, and service were all top-tier. Side note: There is a 5% "communal" surcharge added to every bill. The money is used to support staff benefits, the support staff, and the line cooks. This is separate from the gratuity. This surcharge is clearly explained on the menu, and I really love and appreciate the transparency and that they care about the employees. But yeah. Super good. We love a good meal and we damn near left there skipping.

While this is their Capitol Hill location, it's a little further out from the main area of CapHill. Washrooms (restroom for search keywords). Friendly service, but nothing over the top as they simply took orders and brought it fresh. They brought pickled radish out with the chicken which is standard, but the radish was very fresh, meaning they were harder, sharper in flavor, and not as flavorful as a result of not being pickled long enough. Starter Set - we opted for mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and fries. Would love to see sweet potato fries here (another spot in CapHill proper does offer them) but love this combo for variety. Crinkle cut fries were tasty, nothing special. Mozzarella sticks were nice but lacked a cheese pull. Onion rings were the star of the trio, crispy, sweet, and totally delicious. Soy Garlic Chicken - half orders are about 10 pieces and full orders come with around 20, sometimes more. Chicken was juicy, tender, and sauce was just right. Great flavor! Similar to the Shoreline location, while the wings are a decent size, I feel that many Korean fried chicken spots have larger wings. Still tasty, but feels less competitive in the heart of Seattle.
