Mediocre Burger; Good Onion Rings This place is a bit spendy for what you get. Its also one of those Bus Your Own Tables places which is quickly becoming a thing. Its a nice space, but Im starting to miss old fashioned restaurants with awesome servers. The "Classic" burger is decently priced at $5; but then you have to pay for whatever you require to tart it up, bringing it right back to the $8-10 range. If you get that, I would probably ask to sub mayo for the "special sauce", which mostly tastes like weird horseradish mustard sauce. The meat is okay (seemed to have about an 80:20 meat-to-fat ratio, judging from the amount of droppings), but could seriously benefit from a more consistent seasoning (or from having garlic and herbs tossed into the mixture, prior to salting and grilling). It was simply too plain in my opinion. And plain beef - regardless of toppings - makes for a sad burger. The bun was pretty standard (a bit too soggy) and the amount of veggies was lacking. Nobody wants strings of lettuce; give us a crispy leaf of iceberg, please. Thankfully, it was all fresh. The onion rings were more in line with what I was expecting. They were battered with a tasty bear batter and fried to perfection. They dont come out of a bag and the portion is more fair than say Blue Moon Burgers. The only issues were a lack of salt and with the bottom ring collecting all of the drained fry oil. The staff seemed friendly and the space is nice and clean with plenty of seats. Overall, Id say skip it if you know how to make a good burger, or if you were hoping to discover the next great burger joint. Dicks (11PM-2AM; not so much during the day) makes a better classic American griddle burger and is much cheaper. If you want a better spendy burger, Coastline in West Seattle is always decent (they even bake their own buns); Lunchbox Lab offers better combinations than most burger joints in the city, though its much pricier.

There are few things as satisfying to me personally than a solidly constructed hamburger. Its one of the most american foods I can think of, and is the foundation of what I consider to be a great meal. That having been said, Uneeda Burger doesnt mess around when it comes to their burgers. They have a terrific selection of meats (hamburger, elk, venison, etc) in addition to some pretty legit vegetarian options as well. These burgers are also going to do an amazing job filling you up. Each one is packed with a pretty solidly sized patty in addition to whatever condiments they manage to squeeze in as well. The last visit I made here, they somehow misplaced my order and I ended up waiting an extra 10-15 minutes after the rest of my table had been served. Upon alerting a server to the problem, the had my burger for me within minutes and even went so far as to comp the entire meal free of charge. You cant beat the service + quality combination here and Id highly recommend stopping in.

uneeda burger is a great place to get a burger and drink in the Seattle summer! I went here last weekend, and got the standard burger with cheese and a fried egg. The food was delicious, and I regretted not getting fries with it. One thing that uneeda burger does well is having a range of burgers from a non-pretentious $5 standard hamburger up to $10+ specialty burgers like Elk-burgers and burgers with high quality mean. The outside terrace is great in the sun. Its filled with picnic benches, without feeling crowded, and works well for catching up with friends. The location is also great - its a short walk from the Zoo and woodland park, or down the hill to Fremont and the ship canal. The only downside is that in the back of your mind when youre here youll kick yourself a little that you didnt go to Paseos across the street, but one you get your burger that should go away :)

I cant recommend this restaurant unfortunately. First I ordered the #4 BBQ burger, a chocolate shake, and fries. Over $20 for that.... However I am ok with a high price if I get something amazing. That was not the case here. The chocolate shake tasted like vanilla. Oddly I expect a chocolate shake to taste of chocolate. The BBQ sauce on the burger tastes like cayenne pepper mixed with ketchup. I tried scraping it off, but finally gave up, and bought a plain standard cheeseburger. That one came out burn on the outside, undercooked in the middle, and greasy. It also was missing the toppings I ordered. The fries didnt taste bad, but the tiny bit I got made me wish I had ordered 3 so I could have a decent meal. The $25 I dropped trying this place was a mistake I will not repeat. I could have had a nice steak dinner for that price.

The first time I drove by this place, I read "uneeda burger ?" Well, as a matter of fact I think I do! This is my burger place. I understand that this used to be "uneeda auto care"...they still have bits of it hanging around, like the auto worked name patches. They kept the roll up garage doors, which makes it airy and like a picnic. Casual, easygoing fun spot. Families, dogs (in the outside area), kids... Nobody is on their freaking computer!! Everyone is talking and eating delicious food. Great basic burgers, and lots of variations. I get the basic burger which is fantastic. Counter service, like a deli. Casual, fun, and you can tip a buck or 2, instead of 5. Friendly, no BS workers. BEER! And also BEER! Indoor / outdoor seating on PICNIC TABLES. LOVE IT! This is the place, baby.

I also dont see the hype of this place. We walked in and it was pretty quiet. There was a couple people ahead of us but it took too long to take our order and get our food. The people in front of us was deciding what beer to get and the cashier was giving them samples. Good customer service for them but sucks for us. Since this is a order at the counter place, please take my order and move along. Anyways, the burger was tasty and onion rings were not to oily. Prices were average to above average at about $7 for just the burger. Overall, it was okay for me but not memorable enough to want to come back. 3.5 stars since they have parking. Im sure others will beg to differ.

This is a great burger joint. Its usually pretty crowded but has good prices for burgers made with quality ingredients. The fried cheese curds are delicious,but skip the garlic cheese fries,they arent the liquid gold smothered food of your dreams, just fried swimming in a pool of garlic olive oil with barely melted Parmesan on top. They also have grilled cheese, a nice selection of beer, salads, and these old fashioned milkshakes that taste like they came straight out of a cow. Seriously the freshest tasting milkshakes I have ever had. This place is a good for families or groups of friends. Orders come up promptly but the food can get a little greasy.

I absolutely adored the deep fried cheese curds! Highly recommended! I had the madame burger, well done... it was good but fairly dry. My eggs yolk was all in the plate and not on the burger but cant be helped. My company had the pulled pork sandwich and the bbq smash. They loved them. Also ordered the onion rings (very good considering I dont like onion rings in general) and sweet potato fries (nothing special). Had the delicous garlic aioli sauce and forgot my breath mints. Woops! Employees were super nice and helpful! Would recommend this place.
