Also: has Rounds made it up there yet? Much better fast-food-chain actual-decent-burger concept.
That said, yay.
.. But I'm fly at Fatburger when I'm way out west.
Your post reminds me of that old Simpsons episode...
"Dude are you being ironic?"
"I don't even know anymore."
Lighten up.
@11, if you say that about Dick's you're not native. Stfu. I think I'll walk over and get a deluxe with shake.
Burgermaster is infinitely better tasting than either but the atmosphere doesn't suit everyone. I prefer dicks (the drive-in) to most of these type places. Life is a series of trade-offs, throwing whatever weight you have, or think you have, behind the least objectionable choices.
Was that sufficiently nuanced? I prefer Goldy's opinion.
1 Red Mill
2 Dicks
3 BurgerMaster
4 Kidd Valley
5 Five Guys
6 Wendy's
7 In n Out
8 Carls Jr
9 Burger King
10 Jack in the Box
11 Dairy Queen
12 anything else
13 McDonalds
Otherwise, Shake Shack.
Every one of my Seattle friends that came down to visit while I was living in L.A. totally agreed that Dick absolutely sucks compared to In-N-Out upon having both experiences.
SO, # 18...have you ever even HAD an In-N-Out burger? Best cheap burger on the planet hands down. By the way, their fries are also hand cut on the premises like Dicks NOTHING except the shakes and the ice in your drink has EVER been frozen, every thing is made to order, oh, can you order cheese fries at Dicks? Can you get your patties grilled in mustard? ...well peruse the "hidden menu" In-N-Out blows Dick's into the trash can in comparison yet at the same price point.
that said, IMO, Fatburger is better than the revered in-n-out. You can get a fried egg on your fatburger if you want to wave the middle finger at heart disease.
If I want a chain burger I'll to to McDonalds first then Burger King then Wendys.
I heard Seattle might get a Chick Fil A

Not as good as Carls jr, but they win for customization.
FYI, thee best onion ring in town is at the Jolly Roger. HANDS DOWN! Real onions. And a damn good choice of sliders.
The fact that it is pretty damn sad that "onion rings made from real onions" is a powerful selling point, reflects more on us as consumers than it does negatively on Fatburger, and this point makes me sad, too.
Lastly, there are all sorts of classes of burgers and burger joints; the fact that 5 Guys trys to be one type while only having processed cheese, puts them in the "too stupid to live" classification, even though they do many things well.
Now if Zippy's in White Center wanted to open a second location on Alki, our burger dreams would come true.
@22, They're in the Frozen Food section at the local chain supermarkets.
I tried a Fatburger at the bite of seattle a few years ago---it struck me as a tastier Wendy's burger. Bring it on to Alki. Hopefully the service will be faster than Zippy's.
seattle would do a lot more for the planet by banning beef consumption
we're fucked...
lowest price. Macs, In-N-Out, Dicks, etc.
Mid range: Fatburger, Five Guys etc
High Priced...the gourmet burger joints.
Seems like perhaps we're comparing Volkswagens to Mercedes here?
