    Reminds me of a simpler time. Good burgers, not over crowded. Also has Chinese food. My burger, fries and drink were 17.99 today-2025

    Their burgers are legit for this dive. Super tasty. Service a little slow but i went during lunch rush. Sicilian Burger is my favorite. Coworker said he inhaled his Aloha burger a said, "It didn't stand a chance. It was so good!" Portions are very reasonable for the price. I just deducted the star because I stood there for a good few minutes without acknowledgement.

    Last time I came here was about 30 years ago. I had a craving for nostalgia, so decided to see if it is as good as I remember. When you first walk in , you might be deterred by the outdated design, kinda sketchy, and think you might get ripped off. But it was a good surprise! We ordered a bacon cheeseburger, and man was it good! Not what expected. Definitely brought me back. Another good ol' Alaskan restaurant to try.

    Pineapple shake is not getting enough love. People are super nice. The front desk lady gently made fun of my Texas / North Carolina accent. Like Sling Blade, I just ordered fries (besides pineapple shake), but they're real nice.

    Ordered the Teriyaki Burger and it's mouth melting delicious.

    It's one of those very hidden places but should check it out I ordered the Teriyaki Burger and it's become my go to favorite.

    Broccoli beef.

    I like the kung pao chicken, it has more vegetables then chicken. The broccoli beef is ok, not bad but not something I'd order again. I watch two doordashers walk out on a Saturday evening around 6:30pm, I guess the tip wasn't enough for them to wait? I waited 15+ minutes from the time given to me, but that was ok. I am writing this review so I can remember that I have tried Burger Jim. I forget a place, if I don't like more then one dish. Maybe... I'll come back for a burger.

    Wow! I have not set foot in Burger Jim's since the 1990's. Seeing this place is like going back in time.

    I came down here for lunch after picking up the car for repairs to the front from a driver who backed into my car a few months back. Burger Jim's is a longtime establishment on the corner of 4th and Gambell in a sketchier part of the downtown area on the east side. There would be no reason to dine in this part of town, but since the collision center was just around the corner, this was the most convenient option. Burger Jim's bring back a lot of memories from my high school years in the mid-90's when they still had a location at the Transit Center on 6th Ave and G St. Surprisingly, the dining area at this location still looks like it's in the 90's today with its wood booths and interior design. I was greeted by the manager who seemed to be the only person in the front for the lunch rush while everyone was working in the kitchen preparing orders. I decided to order a familiar favorite that was listed as Today's Special: the Burger Jim (ham, bacon, American cheese, grilled onions, mushrooms, and jalapeno peppers). The special includes fries and the drink for $9.99. I took a seat at one of the window booths next to where I parked my car. I only waited for a few minutes before my order arrived. The burger was good, but not as good as some of the other burger establishments I reviewed. The bacon, cheese, mushrooms, and onions were a great complement while the ham was an unnecessary addition with little to no flavor. Fries were thick-cut which is good when it's hot off the fryer, but loses its crispiness as it cools down leaving the thin strands as the only ones with a crispy texture. The Transit Center location used to be my favorite place for a burger after class, but with the location long gone and different owners today, there are better options elsewhere.

    Great burgers, good Chinese food. Had a bunch of homeless people around the area inside and outside. But overall food was delicious!

    Some of the best ramen and Japanese dishes that I've ever had. (I've had a lot) This is a seven…read morestar restaurant, with the exception of one thing. The food was perfect. The service was on point. They have a massive whiskey bar downstairs. They have an excellent menu of craft cocktails. They also have excellent mocktails. I will critique their bourbon selection only because they have a number of bourbons that are 18+ years old that they're trying to sell for Scottish and Japanese prices which are based on reality. Bourbon is not any good out of the barrel past 12 to 14 years. Corn is not the same as grains. The sugar is degrade and get dark after 14 years in spite of some companies selling some of their older swill, trying to get rid of it as premium. They were very nice. I gave the bartenders and recommendations of things that actually are worth that kind of money in the bourbon world. There was plenty to find that was not expensive and quite excellent. The only negative? The Host stand at the top of the stairs needs people who have more pleasant personality. How you greet people in the restaurant is absolutely imperative. It sets the tone for the whole meal. The whole experience. They seem to think that their job is to shoot people off because the restaurant is booked, but they do it in a manner that will make sure people don't come back. It's a little too New York curt. Smiling,and some good grace, would not hurt either of them. When they tell you, it's time to be seated, engaging people and making eye contact would certainly also help them look a little more human as well. Do make reservations. Otherwise, the wait time can be very long. Outstanding food! Absolutely worth passing through the gargoyles at the front door

    The hostess stand staff is completely incompetent. I showed up with no reservation, expecting a…read morewait but they handled it horribly. First they said they were moving things around implying it would be a few minutes. 15 minutes later I went up and he said 5-10 minutes to wait. 15 minutes later still nothing and they tell me another 30-45 minutes and acted appalled that I had checked in. Not worth dealing with them so I left. Ambiance seemed great but ramen isn't worth rude staff so I left.

They've got a solid variety of Alaska brews on tap, way more than your average spot, so it's easy to try something new or stick with a favorite. Food is decent across the board, nothing overly fancy, but it hits the spot and pairs well with the beer. Think reliable bar food done right. Just make sure you dodge all the homeless when walking around downtown.

We started eating within 2-3 minutes of walking out the door, but it was practically inedible.The fish and fries were incredibly laden with oil; just heavy, greasy, and completely unseasoned. Ratio of breading to fish was 50/50, so you get a little gipped on the actual fish. Everything desperately needed salt at minimum. To make matters worse, they send it with their berry tartar sauce, which is an absolute crime in all 50 states. We specifically requested regular tartar sauce and were given plain mayonnaise instead. None of our other requested condiments, like ketchup, were supplied either. Service for the limited time I interacted with her, was average. She was easy going, but not particularly warm or engaging. While the portions were fine, $35 for a meal that we tossed out after 2-3 bites is incredibly frustrating. I hate wasting money and fresh seafood, but it was just that bad.
