Previous visit was on 6/30/24. Time for an update with my recent takeout order on 3/20/26. Still enjoy the same the location adjacent to Main Street. I had not eaten yet, had only a mocha earlier, felt ravenous since it was already mid afternoon. So to make it worth the gas, toll, and time spent in traffic heading back west then north, I placed an order for two double cheeseburgers and one each of their chocolate and peanut butter milkshakes. On point, friendly customer service and efficient kitchen crew. Ambience - comfortably dated and clean. I was the only person there. But after using the restroom (note - very clean), there were at least five other people ordering or in line. Like mentioned before, the chocolate milkshake hit the spot driving back to Shoreline. After arriving at home, The Homie devoured his double cheeseburger and peanut butter milkshake. I added additional ketchup onto my burger and did the same. I'm sure it would have been superior eaten onsite. But retained its grilled, cheesy goodness with a one hour delay. Bellevue is lucky to have OG Broiler Bay! read more

Casual burger spot with an old school/local community vibe. Counter to order at the front and some tables in a room in the back. I got the cheeseburger, which was simple but classic. Nice char on the burger. Onion rings were tasty - freshly fried and had a super thin coating. read more

I really like the old school vibe of this place. Service was very friendly and down to earth, they even gave shake recommendations and answered menu questions. Food came out fast. I got the double cheeseburger this time and the patties are thick, very filling. We also got the black raspberry milkshake, which I thought was fantastic. Super creamy, a little fluffy, and not icy at all. Great prices considering Bellevue. Honestly, when I eat in Bellevue I oftentimes find the price does not justify the food and portion sizes. That is not the case here. read more

The first time I ever had broiler Bay hamburgers was at theirs shoreline location many years ago! This place tastes just as I had it then, i like their fries and fry sauce. It was pretty simple burger with minimal flavor on the meat/sauces. Go give it a try. read more

Wanted a bite to eat and ran into this place. Walking in it feels like an old school burger and fry joint. Menu on the wall in front of you and a guy waiting for you to figure out what you want. A tad bit of seating to eat in the back. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger w/fries & Strawberry Shake. Bacon Cheeseburger was ok.....Fries were good. They have a fry sauce that isn't bad. If you're in the area check it out. read more

- service (Kind staff, clean restaurant) - Flavor of the Burger (Nailed the patty and sauce) - Size of patty compared to the bun (Bun was way too large for the patty. It seemed like it was an oversized bun to give the appearance of a larger burger) Fries (Basically store bought frozen fries heated up in an air fryer. Also, very under-seasoned) Very disappointed because of the fries. It brought down the whole meal. For $4.99, they should definitely add to the meal, not act as a filler. read more

Got a lot more on this carryout visit, and as a whole, the group thought it was good. Stopped in about 5 minutes before scheduled opening (11am), and was the 2nd person. You order and pay (they accept credit card), then wait for your order (in my case, it was 15 minutes). That gave me time to collect condiments, etc. (they have a self serve soda machine). In the meanwhile, people kept coming in and everyone (except one) were nearby construction workers looking for a sit-down burger lunch. They use real fresh vegetables here for the burger (shredded lettuce, and nice looking tomato slices). I think the chicken sandwich is what took the most time. Cheeseburger ($6.69) - tasty beef, large toasted bun, fresh toppings. BBQ Chicken ($8.990 - same large size as burger, skinless non breaded chicken breast. Definitely filling. Phili Cheesesteak ($10.99) - it was OK. Good mix of ingredients, but unlike the burgers, had too little meat. Each bite was mostly bread and gooey cheese, would be good if you could double (or triple) the amount of meat. French fries ($4.99) - well fried steak sized fries, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Onion Rings ($4.99) - they are known for these and I can see why...though considering this should have been the first batch of the day, strangely most if it was badly fried (super greasy and very limp). A bit disappointing, though for the price, a good deal. I don't think they have an official website...the one that google routes you to, has prices that are very old (more than 50% less than actual). The prices now are what you would expect in this day and age. read more

This place is kind of tucked away, I only found it because of Yelp! My parents and I walked in on a Saturday night around 6pm and there were a few other people inside waiting for their to-go orders. There were a few tables inside to sit at and our order took about 10mins to come out. The burger was good, but the bun was quite large, so it felt like a lot of bread. The onion rings and the milkshakes were my favorite part! We tried the rootbeer and the seasonal eggnog shakes and they were delicious. The portions of fries and onion rings were definitely sharing size and one order of each was plenty for the 3 of us. Will be back to try more!! read more

I hadn't been to Broiler Bay for at least 10 years, and seeing a lot of recent pub reminded me that I needed to get back. Perfectly executed charbroiled burger, fries, and a delicious black raspberry shake. Nothing fancy, just delicious. I plan on making another visit shortly, this time I'm going with a double to balance out the meat to bun ratio a bit. read more

I come here often and most of the time when I come in here I always get greeted right away from the employees and the burgers are very affordable and I got good deals as well too though most of the time I'll get a cheeseburgers or fries today I decided to get some fried zucchinis with ranch and the ranch is really delicious and when I go there, it's most packed so you know the food is delicious when it is packed. I will continue to come over here because the food is so delicious. read more

I can't believe I never wrote a review. I used to work in Bellevue and I have eaten at Broiler Bay many times. Any time I find myself back in Bellevue I make sure to get lunch here. A hole in the wall with amazing burgers. I always get the same things - a double bacon cheeseburger (no lettuce or tomatoes - add extra pickles) and a french fries. And they have delicious fry sauce. I then don't have to eat again until the next day (and I usually have to take home some of the fries) - it is so big. It reminds me of the late great Dave's Burgers in Lynnwood. Excellent! read more

Got a gift certificate to give, filled out by a friendly female server because she said the guys didn't have very good handwriting. Decided to order a couple of burgers since I heard they were so good. Didn't have to wait too long before my order was up. Took them home to eat: they were delicious! They were busy taking orders with guys waiting, orders by phone too. It's a hole in the wall off of 107th, but apparently there is seating behind the kitchen. You can see them broiling the burgers! The prices were great for what you get, especially in Bellevue! I would go again. read more

I've lived here 35 years and finally tried this place. What took me so long? The burger was well constructed, had a good sauce, and held together to the last bite. My burger loving other really liked it. I had a grilled chicken breast no bun, and that was good too! The fries were a generous portion and kinda crispy on the outside. Just thicker than I usually like fries. Loved all the sauce options. read more

Broiler Bay - Double Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I kinda felt duped by the photos with pricing on Yelp. On the page for this listing it shows various burgers at $4 - $5 price point. And other reviews that said you could a burger, fries and drink for $10 and under. This is definitely not true. My son got the bacon cheeseburger which was $8 and some change, onion rings which were $4.99 and a shake. The total for his meal was $21. Which is average market price but compared to what I saw on Yelp, it was vastly different. But even when we walked in and saw the different prices, because all the ratings were a 4&5 star, decided we would give it ago. First the burger patty is thin and is overwhelmed by such a big and thick bun. The toppings were fresh, the bacon fried crispy and delicious. Overall the burger was alright. 3/5. Nothing we'd come back for though. The onion rings were most definitely flowing out of the bag. They were hot and fresh and a little on the oily side. The batter was nice though. Crispy and not too thick just a little laden with oil. Service was good. It was an easy encounter, you walk in and order at the counter. They have a self service station for napkins, ketchup, the sauce they make, and some hot sauces. Plenty of seating inside. A few seats at a side counter and 4 tables in a back room. There is additional seating outside as well. 4/5 for cleanliness. Tables were cleaned when we sat down and they immediately cleaned tables when someone left. I definitely respect and appreciate this. Overall it's alright eats. read more

The Mighty Broiler Bay! This is officially, out of all other establishments in Bellevue, the city's true hidden gem. Even many locals don't know about it as it is tucked rather anonymously into an aging mini mall on the southern part of downtown the likes of which most others have been bulldozed in recent years to make way for more vertical steel chapels to commerce. Thankfully, enough people seem to know the resounding reason the Bay continues to live on: they make the region's best burgers. Don't believe me? Look up a YT of John Howie's favorite places to eat and you'll find Seattle's favorite grilled of the meats speaking on lovingly about this joint. The burgers are not life changing but they are definitely good and for the price you can't beat them. Personally I'm partial to the patty melt as the number of places you can get this American beef n' onion classic seem to be diminishing but you can't really go wrong with any of the burgers. Onion rings here are super delicious too. Support this place because otherwise the great Seattle area is going to default to Dicks and that's a crime against humanity. read more

Me and my boyfriend just finished eating here and the food was so so good! I got a beacon burger and he got the bay burger and we were both blown away with our food! The service was absolutely amazing everyone was so so nice! I definitely recommend this nice burger spot! read more

Excellent and friendly staff and great burgers. I've wanted to come here for months, so once the weather was warm, I had to go! I see all the construction crews eating here, so I figured it must be good.... it's also the cheapest burger in Bellevue! My mushroom burger was thick and loaded with toppings and they have the best mozzarella sticks. The fries are large enough for 2 people, or 2 kids and 1 adult, which is what I did. They don't have any indoor seating, so either you eat at the few tables outside, or take it to-go. If you're in the area and want to spend only $10 on a burger, this is the place! read more

Broiler Bay - Mushroom burger and mozzarella sticks. - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The buns on the burgers falls apart when you take your first bite. I would not go back.

Salty soybean burger, if they would use 100% ground beef, and not salt the burger to hind the tast of the soybean, then it would be a goodr burger, not going back! read more

Dirty and run down with rude slow service. Nathaniel (shaved head goes by nate), got upset with my 5 year old for asking for more milk in his milk shake. I had spent $12 and added a 2$ tip already and Nate wanted to charge another $3 to add more milk. It would have been a $17 milk shake. Definately not worth that ... when my five year old got upset, Nate flicked him off as we drove away. Really really sad. The place will likely be leveled and be a skyscraper soon, and I think the owners are just riding it out with a staff that knows they will be laid off soon but can't find a job any where else. Sad dirty place. read more

Good food in a good price you get what you pay for. Quality burgers.. been going to this place for 20 years and the food is just like it was 20 years ago, very good. read more

One of the best burgers in Bellevue, everything on there menu is great , and has an old school vibe to the place too

How have I not heard of this place?? I ordered a simple hamburger with bacon. Came with shedded lettuce, sliced tomato, diced onion, and sauce. This reminded me of the best of classic Americana type independent burger stands. What fast food was before it became corporatized. The food was fresh, had flavor, the buns were toasted and soft. It tasted like it was out of the 50s! My goodness, I found a hidden gem. My new favorite. A definite must try! read more

Broiler Bay - Hamburger w/ extra veggies - Burgers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Sometimes you just need to fulfill the craving of a basic burger and this place is good enough. It's old school, with a menu that looks like it dates back to the 50's. The burger (quarter pound) itself was decently sized and filling. Although pretty greasy, their battered onion rings are a classic. The ambiance is nothing special at all inside. If anything it's very outdated and looks like it's covered in decades of grease, but that wasn't of any importance for my take out order. It's nice to have a different, local burger option besides the usual chain fast food places. read more

The service is nice but good service does not counter balance horrible food. Not sure who taught the cook but burgers should not be raw! Each side barely has a color change and it TASTE like a raw burger. Took 1 bite then spit it out after tasting a little off then looking down to see a pink patty read more

TLDR: no frills, all American charbroiled hamburger shop is a gem in the ritzy downtown Bellevue. A burger, fries or onion rings (definitely recommended), and a drink will be less than $10. Indoor and outdoor seating area. Broiler Bay is far better than Burgermaster or Kidd Valley for the traditional, all American hamburger and fries. It's a full hamburger. Not some smashburger like at Burbs or Shake Shack that'll leave you hungry. You'll leave quite full with a delicious hamburger and their onion rings. Definitely get the onion rings. Super crispy, not heavily battered, and not overly greasy. The onions are super crispy. The hamburger can be made with cheddar or Swiss cheese, and they have a boatload of fancier options that are a dollar or two more. Four tables inside, many more outside under the cover. Lots of parking in the small strip mall. read more

Quick and easy to order. Good simple burgers at a reasonable price. Parking is a bit tight.

Pros: The food and service Cons: A vit hard to get to Would you drive through an hour plus in rush hour traffic for a burger and onion rings? Because we sure did and it was totally worth it. This place is like an old school burger shop. Not a huge menu but big enough. The burgers are awesome. We also got lots of sides and all were good but the onion rings were maybe the best I've ever had. The staff was cool too. Counter ordering and then seat yourself. There are some old school decorations. read more

Stopped by to grab a quick dinner, and was pleasantly surprised. The place itself is a bit small, with a few tables of indoor seating, but shares several outdoor tables with neighboring storefronts. Wait time from order to receipt of food was also quite quick. Mushroom Swiss Burger: Very filling burger for $7. There are plenty of nicely grilled mushrooms. The burger was flavorful, and the amount of vegetables just enough. I'll be coming back whenever I have another craving for a quick burger. read more

Best Burger in Bellevue? Definitely arguable! This place is awesome! It is a classic flame-broiled burger spot. Made to order. Limited menu. Keeping it simple to master what they offer. Its a classic vibe that reminds me of some of the burger spots from my small town as a kid. Everything I have ordered has been nothing but tasty. Do yourself a favor. First time you go, just get a cheeseburger. Once that wins you over, then try some of their other tasty options. The cheeseburger though, is king. add some bacon, add some jalapenos, despite not needing it, just for fun! Its a dang tasty burger the classic way. Sides are great. Fries are large portions, onion rings are tasty, and fried zucchini is fun. You can get a shake if you need. The condiment station has fry sauce, which, being from Idaho, is a big plus! Come here and try a burger with fries. Get the fry sauce. Enjoy. If you feel like mixing it up after that, try the philly, or some of their other burger options. The classic should be enough to win you over. Staff is always friendly and fast. The cook is a BOSS. killin it on the grill, still able to make some banter. Able to handle a dozen+ burgers at once and all of them come out cooked perfectly! Cheers! read more

Broiler Bay has been recommended to me by some friends that mentioned it as a place for big and delicious burgers, and as someone that enjoys a good delicious hefty burger, I wanted to give this place a try! We went on a Wednesday around 12:30pm, ordered and seated after about 10 minutes. I got the Big Bay Burger and some onion rings, and wow, the Big Bay burger is hefty! This burger is mostly their take on the McDonald's Big Mac as it is layered in the same fashion with their version of the Big Mac sauce. This is a delicious burger that is pretty much at least double in size to it's inspiration and much tastier - it will definitely cure you of your hunger if you try this burger! The onion rings are scrumptious as well, the battered crust is nice and crispy, and goes great with their house sauce. Overall, I paid about $16 for everything you see here, which I think is a decent price considering it is in the middle of the city. I would definitely like revisit Broiler Bay whenever I'm in the mood for a good filling burger with some nice and greasy sides - feel free to stop by and give this place a try if you are feeling the same! read more

It's interesting how I've had this bookmarked for years when I lived within walking distance of Broiler Bay and only came here after I moved out to Seattle. I was craving burgers and decided to make a lunch stop here on a Friday afternoon. It's located in downtown Bellevue and there is a small parking lot. It's a no-frills burger spot that has an old school feel with the classic menu rather than a menu using something like TVs. You can call in for an order if you'd like but the orders come out pretty quickly. They currently don't have any indoor seating but there are some tables outside. I ordered the double cheeseburger ($7.99) and an order of french fries ($4.99). The burger was juicy and the burger patties were very peppery. Also, I liked that the bottom bun is toasted on both sides and that the toppings are actually on the bottom so they don't fall out. It's the little things that count! The french fries are crispy and they give a lot of them. Overall this felt like an old school meal with old school flavors without all the crazing toppings and burger options. The portions were great for the price and I was stuffed after my meal. Broiler Bay is a solid burger spot for a good deal! read more

A craving for onion rings drove my first visit. How could I have lived in the area and missed this long standing gem of all American burger, fry, chicken/fish baskets, corn dogs and milk shakes.
