The gouda was lost in the sweetness, a saltier cheese may be a better option. As for the burger patty, it was cooked perfectly and was clearly freshly ground. However, today it was missing salt and it really needed it with all of the onions. I'd definitely go back and try their bacon cheeseburger and the pies/desserts.

I saw that they have hwachaeji for a limited time so I was motivated to stop by. My boyfriend, little brother, our two dogs and I got to the location around 6ish and we saw they had a couple outdoor benches. We also saw they have a pick up window which I thought was pretty neat. My boyfriend and I decided to go inside to order while my little brother and our dogs waited for us outside. They have a lot of seating inside, a well-maintained bathroom, a water station, a spot to open bottled drinks and more. You order through a kiosk as my boyfriend and I stood at the ordering spot and they seemed too busy to notice us. Once we placed our order, we saw how efficient the workers were at getting orders made. They were quite busy when we arrived and even afterwards as there was people coming in to order or pick up orders. We ordered the Saeuji, Seoul Burger, Bulgogiger, Biscoff Shake, Hwachaeji, Fanta, garlic French fries, and french fries. The food and drinks were all so good, but we all agreed that the Saeuji was the best of the three. The Biscoff Shake was refreshing and smooth and I really enjoyed the modern twist on hwachaeji.

Great flavors, friendly people, and good vibes. A solid 4 stars from me!

The atmosphere was very relaxed and the food was just amazing. All three of us had the sourdough and mushroom burger, and it was sooooo good. It was juicy, flavorful, cheese-y, just everything you could want. I got a side salad instead of fries, I couldn't believe how huge it was, very fresh and had lots of veggies, even black olives, and also crispy onions. My friend ordered onion rings and fries for the table. The onion rings were very crispy and delicious, the fries were standard, but good. Service here was so great. The woman who seemed to be a manager or owner was so friendly and kind. The other employees were also very polite and nice. I wish they had a Spanky burger here in Portland.

First off, I'd just like to say that the location is kind of a nightmare. The drive-thru setup is…read morepretty confusing. It's a really tiny little trailer, so I understand they're working with limited space, but having cars loop around in what feels like a figure-eight can be chaotic. People get impatient, start honking, and it's easy to accidentally cut someone off without realizing it. They're just burgers, people--everyone needs to relax a little! That said, despite how busy it was, the line moved surprisingly fast. I ordered a double cheeseburger with everything, a side of onion rings, and a black raspberry shake. The shake was fantastic--definitely a highlight of the meal. The burger was also really good: flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. The only disappointment was the onion rings. They were incredibly greasy--so much so that they actually upset my stomach. I'm not sure if that's typical, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Next time I'd give the fries a try instead. One thing that really stood out was the pricing. It's refreshing to find a place that still offers fair prices when it feels like everything else costs an arm and a leg these days. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The burger and shake were worth it, and as long as I skip the onion rings, I think it'll be a solid meal.

COCKROACHES ! There were Cockroaches on the TABLES. There were also cockroaches on the counter behind the registers. The waitress thought I didn't see but I did. It was under the coffee machine. Apparently she's told the manager but he hasn't done anything about it. Not to mention the cook used her bare hands to touch the food after touching her germ covered phone. She stuck her fingers IN MY BURGER to pull out a tomato because she made a mistake of putting tomatoes when I specifically asked for none. Also one of the old waitresses use to be a close friend of mine and told me their supervisor/ manager, a man, has been sexually harassing the females there by kissing them when they don't want to be or saying nasty comments regarding how sex must feel good on their period or how he likes the position they're squatting in. She also told me one of the females there has access to the security cameras because her boyfriend works for the Business. Apparently she watches the other employees without permission and uses this against them. This restaurant is disgusting and there are so many things wrong with this place. Plus they use FLOOR CLEANERS and WINDEX to clean the TABLES! Oh and THE SALADS HAD MOLD ON THEM that's how old the were. Also, one of the waitresses, a heavier set Hispanic women was giving out GREY milkshakes. I think her name started with an M. You could tell no one had cleaned the machines because it was GREY rather than white. I'm speaking up because I know the women who work there are afraid of losing their jobs if they do. Don't go here. Rate: ZERO! read more

We LOVE this place! Sure, it took some time for our burgers and fries to be ready, but me and my friend both agree, Burger Broiler is the BEST! We are Burger Hunter Dew and Burger Hunter Zack, we had the Combo #2, recommended to us by the owner. Two patties of freshly ground beef with two slices of cheese, freshly grilled onions, thousand isle dressing, lettuce, and tomatoes, all in between two buns! I tried making it myself, but it does NOT taste just as good as theirs! And also, their fries are hand made! Fresh right when ordered! I can already tell there will be some stiff competition in the race to find the best burger in Tacoma! We recommend going there! The Combo #2 burger might just be what we are looking for! But there are many burgers in Tacoma, and we haven't tried them all...yet. http://www.facebook.com/BurgerHunterDew http://www.facebook.com/BurgerHunterZack read more

Okay so im new at yelp but i decided to give it a try since yesica convinced me. Yesterday was my first time trying burger broiler and i have to say WOW . The restaurant is really clean which is always a great thing to see when entering a restaurant not only that but the costumer service from her , she was so kind and talkative unlike other places where its just a how are you doing and thats it. She helped me narrow my options down. And i have to say the food is amazing. Burger was so delicious, the fries were so fresh and they gave me this fry sauce that was so good and i had a strawberry shake which was the icing on the cake to my first burger broiler experience. Everything was just great! I will definitely be coming back. read more

Ever since they opened, I've placed my order over the phone and then a friend and I would go pick up. I'd drive around the block while he ran in and picked up the order because there are never any open parking spaces. Tonight called to place my usual order and was told by a very rude woman on the phone that "You have to pay before you order, lady." I asked her to repeat what she said because there was a lot of background noise which made it hard to understand her. She said, "Lady, you have to pay before we take your order. Sorry, lady, that's how it is." Not sure when they changed their policy, but I will now take my business elsewhere, especially since there is never any available parking. read more

I have been going to Burger Broiler since it first opened and there has been nothing but improvements since then. Fresh burgers and great atmosphere makes this burger joint better than most i have been to. I do have a few issues with how the burgers are made. Too much lettuce kills the flavor of the burger patty. I like crunch but i also want flavor. I do like the rewards program as well where 100 points is a free meal. It adds to the experience knowing what you are working for. Sure, every point equals $1.00 but being rewarded for returning to the restaurant makes the overall experience nice. Fresh food, nice people and a clean environment makes this a must visit for anyone! read more

I don't get to go out for Greek very often because I have picky little eaters. Today I found myself childless so I wanted to get my Greek eat on. Sooooooooo yummy!!! We had the Cheese Saganaki appetizer. It's toasty melted cheese served with flatbread. The added lemon elevated the cheesiness to a whole different level. I could totally get fat on that. It was the perfect starter! My friend and I split the Greek Combo for Two. This meal can easily feed 3 people. It's a packed plate and an excellent choice for anyone who wants a little bit of everything. Every bite was lovely!! Delicious food, friendly service and cute setting. I'll be back for more! read more

I recently had the opportunity to try a burger that, while decent in flavor, left me with mixed feelings regarding its overall value. Priced on the higher side, the burger was somewhat smaller than expected, which may not satisfy those with a hearty appetite. The seasoning and ingredients were commendable, offering a pleasant taste experience, but the portion size did not align with the price point. Overall, while the burger delivers on quality, the cost-to-size ratio may deter some diners. A more generous portion could elevate the experience to match the premium pricing. read more
