The Grub Hut was on my "to try" list and after coming up this way to Kingston to check out a few places on a recent trip Steve and I were excited to get. Steve got a chicken sandwich that was good. I got a hamburger with kimchi. It was excellent but I forgot the name of the burger. I saw a pork sandwich option on the menu that had kimchi but that wasn't the same thing... so just read the menu carefully if what I had sounds good. There are lots of options to pick from so take your time. We also split an order of French Fries which were great! For our sweet tooth we got an Amaretto Milkshake and it was excellent! We really enjoyed this one! It was non-alcoholic and we got this particular one because this was a flavor one doesn't usually associate with milkshake options. We are so glad that we got to try it! The Grub Hut is very, very popular or at least it was when we were there and there was a small line to place our order, very little room to sit and the wait time to get our food was about 25 minutes. We didn't think that was too bad and we thought it was "johnny on the spot" timing at work to tell us that at the time that the order was placed. And I suppose they have it down to an art and need to give out times like this as this restaurant is right by the ferry terminal and Kingston so I imagine a lot of people who are using the ferry need that kind of information to plan accordingly with their meals and arrival/departure times with the ferry. read more

Can't do any better on the Kitsap Peninsula! Grub Hut is a gem of a burger joint in the heart of Kingston, WA. The burgers are by far a step above the rest in this area! The service kicks butt and the staff rocks. Do yourself a favor and check out this groovy spot with a Hawaiian/tiki flair! I promise you will not be able to beat their meat! read more

Food amazing grub burger is the best burger.service amazing they were all so nice . Atmosphere nice booths and seats are comfy.

It's a no fuss burger joint, a bit old and crummy but just fine to grab a bite. Nothing much to say about it! Ambiance is very, very casual. Service is slow. read more

The Grub Hut - The vibes of the place are magical and dreamy - Burgers Near Me - Kingston, Washington

This place is aptly named. It doesn't lead you to believe you might experience more ambiance than you do. This place is suited to people who value good diner food more than atmosphere. Because the place is so small, it can feel cramped. It might help if the person behind the register gave a little more friendly greeting and maybe some help knowing where to stand or sit. It doesn't appear much effort has been put into creating ambiance. Signs are old, stained, or faded paper slapped up with icky edges of tape. Freshly printed would help. Double stick tape would help. Laminating would help. There are odd things tossed up here and there to try to provide barriers between the front and back but not quite achieving it. It almost felt like either more money needed invested into proper barrier or just take it down and create a family feel to the place. If you sit at the bar, you'll be looking at a stack of burger bun bags while you eat. They have a limited amount of space in their kitchen and they use it all! It also seemed like cleaning could have been better. The bar and condiments were a little tacky. I understand why this is happening. When there is that much frying going on in such a confined space without actual walls between the kitchen and dining room, the oil particles land everywhere. It would take more effort to maintain than a normal restaurant cleaning schedule. That said my review would probably be 3 stars except my onion rings were AMAZING!! They go down as some of the best onion rings I've ever had! The flavor in the Ruben burger was good but the bun ended up so soggy I had to peel off the bread and eat the rest with a fork. Probably partly my fault because I ate the onion rings first. I wouldn't order the Ruben burger again but I would try another. Portions were great for the $20 lunch I had. I wasn't disappointed with the food! read more

Decided to give this place a second chance after being completely underwhelmed the first time. Called in our order, drove 15 minutes to get there and they never even put our order in. They said it would be a little while so I told them no to worry about it. This place is really disappointing. read more

The burgers are awesome. My favorite is the Gojo. It's a little spicy, really good. I usually have either the soup or the veggie chili !! We share the fries from one order!! The shakes are wonderful too!! read more

Good food, service and ambience. Less fries and a bigger burger would've been my preference also delicious! Had the red relish burger.

This is a locally owned burger spot, but what is really special is all of the gourmet toppings and choices. There are veggie choices, salads, and gyros too! And of course shakes, onion rings, and fries. The day I was there, the place was packed with local families, sports teams, etc, and you can tell right away this is a local favorite spot. For good reason! The prices were so reasonable and the quality so good, I was really surprised. Staff super friendly too. Inside ambiance more like a fast food restaurant, and you order at the counter and bus your own tables. But there is an outdoor patio which is perfect on a good weather day. Rivals any of the best burger places I have tried. My only criticism - my bun wasn't toasted - next time I will ask for that / with a toasted bun it would have been a 5-star burger for sure! Will definitely bd going back, read more

best damn burgers at this price point. sometimes i walk on to the edmonds ferry just to go get one.

Can't go wrong with g with a big burger here. A small local burger place with lots of yummy food. Salads, burgers, shakes and fries. Been in Kingston for many years and still a good spot to stop. Not a lot of seating inside but they do have a small outdoor eating g area as well. You order at the counter and they deliver your food. Service is good. A bit slow at times but they can get quite busy. read more

I've need a customer since they opened 17 years ago, I don't live in the area anymore but try to come back at least once per season. Food has never disappointed me, they have so many options but I usually stick to the hangover helper or bacon cheese burger, the gojo and tissyfit are great too. Place has a beech tiki vibe which is a unique cool vibe and they saved the wood carvings that have been around for over 40 years. Staff is always friendly and nice, hope they are all doing well. Never been a bad experience. read more

The best place to stop for a burger or sandwich after getting off the ferry. Great food, good prices, and generous portions. Their French dip is the best. They are often busy but the service is pretty speedy and the staff is great. I highly recommend eating there, you won't be disappointed. read more

Hey Grub Hut, what happened to your French fries? I loved the previous unbreaded version. The fries today were heavily encrusted in some kind of breading. Found them virtually inedible. Sorry to leave a neg, GH has been a go to for me read more

Wife and I split a Gruben sandwich with fries. Sandwich was tasteless and brisket was dry as dry could be. Fries were cold except for a few below the sandwich. read more

We found 4-5 short hairs clumped together in a salad here a year or so ago and stopped patronizing as a result. It looked like beard hairs but who knows. It was disgusting, unforgiveable, and unforgettable. They have become a joke among our family and friends...but really if you think about it if they serve contaminated food like that who really knows what else is going on behind the kitchen wall. read more

When we arrived a bit before noon, there was no wait and we were able to place our order at the counter right away. By the time we sat down, there was quite a line! The few tables filled up quickly. Clearly, this is a popular location! There are lots of menu options, so be ready! Order at the counter, then find your seat. There are five solid children's menu options, guaranteed to help any child find something they'd like to eat. Burgers come with a mountain of fries- definitely more than one person can finish, so come hungry. Everything we ordered tasted good! My only slight complaints are that there is only one restroom, which can result in a wait. It was also very cold in there, but it was fairly clean. Also, since patrons are meant to bus their own tables, there is a chance that some things may remain a tad sticky. read more

How I heard of this place: Hungry, driving to the ferry, long lines, and a hankering for greasy, fried food. Yelp saved the day! Type of cuisine: Burgers, fries, shakes and all things American. Ambiance: A small shack-style exterior leads you into a funky, colorfully vibrant interior. The bar sits underneath a straw hut rooftop, windows look out onto the parking lot, where a Grub Hut food truck sits outside. Hanging flower baskets adorn the mini porch outside, and the dimness of the inside create a true diner-like experience. What I ordered: The Don't Be A Jerk Chicken Burger, Bacon Cheeseburger Poutine, and I Wish I Was A Gyro Burger. Not to mention the thick-enough-to-hold-upside-down shakes! What I loved: All of it. Hearty, filling, fun, and huge! We loved the flavors, the novelty of the items on the menu and the friendliness of the server. Why I loved it: It's wonderful to find a gem of a hole-in-the-wall shop. This diner is a place we dream of returning to, and hope to make it happen soon. Cost: Low to Average ($8-$10 per burger) read more

Cobb salad is loaded goodness! Soooo many other choices too. Good, quick, bit quirky as well. It's been slam packed and they keep the orders rolling on out. Something for everyone and you'll probably find a favorite. read more

Great burger and fries. We had a Shroomer burger and fries. Both were delicious. I love crispy fries and they did not disappoint. This was our first time here. The menu has so many options that it was tough to decide which burger to try but I was very happy with my choice. We'll definitely be back. read more

Good food and they accommodated me with a few special requests (medical requirements limit my choices) . always friendly staff and, i enjoyed the reggae influenced music. I thought the prices were reasonable. read more

After a disappointing experience at place recommended while on the peninsula, we found Grub Hut on Google and were quite surprised with the vast menu. The pleasant employee recommended which burgers and sides to choose which were fantastic. Large portions, great sides - especially the potatoe salad, and cooked perfect. Great place to visit if getting on, or headed off the ferry. read more

Great place to stop before or after the Kingston ferry! It's less than 5 minutes away and the food is a TON better than any other option close to or on the ferry!

Can't wait to go back and try other menu items! read more

The Grub Hut - Burgers Near Me - Kingston, Washington

Burgers are great, fries generous and a well rounded menu. My only complaint is that the Philly Steak sandwich needs to have the beef shaved thinner. As it stands, the slices are too thick and rubbery and difficult to negotiate on every bite. Dave, please thin down the slices! read more

Our family who all reside in this area of the state all hyped about this place. We decided to stop in and order up. A waste of money. Burgers were slapped together, flavors were average (we ordered four different ones, none of the boxes were marked - which made for a fun guessing game). The most upsetting part was every single additional items we had ordered: french fries, onion rings, mini corn dogs and chicken strips were BURNT TO A SCORCH!!!! Black. Disgusting. Honestly, I should have refused the food and demanded our money back, but at the time we thought that was what everyone was raving about? We will never go back. As a business owner, you should always be aware of the product you are supplying. 1 Star all-around. Happy to share this review! read more

Great little hole on the wall we stumbled upon after leaving the Edmonds-Kingston ferry. We didn't want to wait until PA so we stopped at this little place and it delivered! I got the special which was a Cajun burger with bacon and a cream cheese spread - it was as good as it sounds. We lucked out finding this place! read more

I love this place! Fast, friendly service. Generous portions of meat on the sandwiches, and conveniently located near the ferry dock. My only complaint is that they don't offer chips with the sandwiches; just fries or coleslaw or potato salad. And, a word of caution: If you're getting a sandwich to go, they can be incredibly messy to eat. Lots of juices dripping around. Make sure you're not actually driving while trying to eat. read more

Guurrrrrlllll, This place is fire. Don't regularly come this way, but needed to take the ferry and we were starving. We just needed to grab whatever and move on and I can't tell you how happy I am that we found this place. Its a hole-in-the-wall gem. We loved it so much we had to hit it again on our way back, and now we're having to invent reasons to use the ferry just to come here. The vibe is eclectic, cute, and casual. The service is so great!! Every person we met was VERY friendly. Molly helped us on our second visit, like I said she was great. She gave us good reqs and was just generally sweet. The thing that brought me here to write this review though were those M********** ONION RINGS!!! Crack. They're crack. Soooo good. Truly the best I've ever had in my life. The batter is slightly sweet but not oppressively so and the onions are super tender they actually break where you bite them without pulling out of the casing or having it all flake off like in many other places. I suggest getting the chipotle sauce or garlic aioli to dip them in. Idk what happened to some of these other reviewers, but if they didn't like them, they should give it another try. The bacon cheeseburger was pretty standard. I'll be honest the Philly cheesesteak wasn't my cup of tea, very mushroom forward. BUT the hangover helper burger is baller. Probably my favorite thing after the onion rings. The fries are also very good, thin and crispy. I got the cheesecake shake. It was really good, nice and thick. Then I asked Molly for her req and she busted out with "I usually mix a berry flavor with the cheesecake, or the caramel cheesecake " Molly is out here mixing flavors. Doing the lords work. Needless to say I got the caramel cheesecake, it was delish. And I love this place. read more

I thought it was alright. I got the special of the day maybe I should get something more of a staple?

Great burgers and nice hot crispy fries. Couldn't be happier. What more could one ask for. This will be our go to burger spot from now on. read more
