This is a harder review.
The service and atmosphere were great. No complaints. The food, as tested by the health department, was excellent.
But I have to say I was hoping for different than what I got.
The bacon was thin, the burgers way over sauced, and the bun didn't hold up to the burger it held. The flavor was good enough. The fries were perfectly cooked and reasonably seasoned. I liked the condiment table as a separate station a lot. The coconut cream pie was over sweet, but the crust was perfect.
It reminds me of a place that would have been THE spot to go in the 50s or 60s, and is now past it's prime, but still a viable option for the modern crowd.
So yeah, it was worth a stop for the experience. But not good enough for me to want to go back.
Great experience, and I especially want to express my delight and gratitude to the employee who packed my milkshakes. I asked for a bag to try to keep my milkshakes from melting on a commute, and was delighted to unpack them and find them with plastic cups and ice! So kind and above and beyond. Tried to call to thank you, but no answer. You made a positive difference in my day! 🥰
We had the BurgerMaster - their cheeseburger. It was actually pretty darn good! Onion rings were prettt good, but you don’t get a lot in an order. Choco milkshake was yummy. Overall this is a classic spot and it’s fairly reasonably priced.
Good taste very good. Diverse menu. But they got my groups order wrong. Not the most affordable fast food.
Burgermaster has MAJOR nostalgic appeal! Plastic trays and a look straight out of the 60's- it's great and it WORKS! The burgers are satisfying and filling. The fries are crispy. The shakes are thick and there's a lot of flavor options. I love coming here. The price is worth the treat to yourself.
Classic O.G. burger and fries. First bite was time travel back to childhood. Soft bun, beef patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and melty American cheese to tie it all together. Got the Mini Burgermaster (which was actually pretty big), small fries, and small Oreo shake. Devoured it all! Honor your inner child and eat here.
My favorite burger in town. Love the diner feel inside. Their gluten free bun is also pretty good. The fries are also so goooood! Nice and crispy and thin, you'll need to salt them a little extra if you like them salty. Yum!!
Staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and exactly as ordered. Food came out fast, hot, and fresh. They dont offer combo meals, so all items you want must be ordered separately. For fountain drinks, there are no free refills. Refills are 1 dollar. Inside does offer plenty of seating to enjoy your meal. But the inside is dated and showing its age and due for an update. The outside is kept clean and looks very nice.
Old fashioned burgers and shakes. The Mushroom Burgermaster combo was extraordinary. Plenty of mushroom pieces covered the surface of the patty. The banana shake is classic! Best shake I had in a long time. Exceptional experience.
Love it here! grab lunch here anytime I have appointments in the area, since it's so close to Seattle children's and the blood draw place. Great burgers and fries, good milkshakes. Wrapped cookies tasted a bit dry, probably too much flour. Great otherwise! love the aesthetic also
This is a place where variety is king. You can get just about anything in the Americana menu world, breakfast through dinner. None of it is sublime, but all of it is executed reliably. Variety that could please just about any group of any age, and all in a mid-century vibe...get it while it lasts. When this is gone, an entire genre of restaurant is gone from the landscape. Is this progress? If you've been in Seattle for a couple -few decades, and if you're around when its replacement takes its place, you decide!
Reminds me of going to a local Faire and eating a burger there. Basic but diverse menu with tons of options for customization. Coffee was delicious.
I will miss the U Village location! Used to have lunch with my dad there often, when we had the Volvo dealership on 55th.
Thank goodness the Bothell location is near me to satisfy the onion ring and baconmaster cravings!
One of the great all time traditional bugers left in America! Reliable, hot off the grill, always delicious, makes you want to come home again. And in this case, you can. I guess Seattle will always be home. And all it takes is one bite!
Great food burgers onion rings and pie are always excellent. Milkshakes are good. great service. Family friendly. A little expensive.
Got the regular burgermaster combo and fish and chips as well! Nice quality burgers and fries, everything seemed pretty fresh, and service was good too! Solid fast food burger joint in the u district for sure!
