Yet another delicious Seattle burger experience! My boyfriend and I visited the new Reuben's taproom this past weekend and Burgerphenia was parked right out front. We needed some food to soak up some cold ones so we ordered two burgers and an order of fries to share. I ordered the Milan with Gorgonzola dolce, bacon, tomato, arugula and tarragon aioli on a brioche bun. Definitely a true gourmet burger with its upscale toppings, I especially loved the tarragon aioli. Yet the burger patty was still "down to earth": juicy, thick and crisp on the outside from a good sear on the flat top. So I would call it a gourmet burger with a down home feel. Nothing wrong with that! The fries we ordered were also pretty decent; herb fries on a crispy, hand-cut fry. My only complaint would be they could've benefited from just a tad more salt. read more

I loved this burger so much I felt compelled to review. I had the Vietnamese burger, which is a burger patty, arugula, and some fresh spicy partly pickled mix of culinary genius. Best food truck burger in Seattle hands down. It's in the top 3 burger I can remember having Seattle at all. This is a $9 burger, fries an extra $3. But this burger is in a class with an entree from an excellent mid priced restaurant where I wouldn't think twice about it being on the menu at $14 or $16. The fries were also excellent and very generous in portion size. The brother sister team that run the truck are also great proprietors. read more

i wasn't expecting to find a vegan burger option from a food truck....it was the best surprise of the night. done right and very tasty. truffle fries did not disappoint. read more

Solid, delicious food truck burgers and fries. If you're looking for greasy, divey burgers, this isn't the place. If you want a quality burger topped with arugula instead of lettuce, on toasted, buttered brioche instead of your average bun, this is it. And the fries! The herbed fries! Crispy, seasoned in fresh chopped rosemary, perfectly salted. Wow. Best fries I've had in a good, long while. $9 for a burger, $3.5 for a heaping plate of fries. Minus one star because the burger was maybe just a little overpriced. I highly recommend! read more

I work in Ballard, and each Friday (and sometimes bonus days of Wednesday & Thursday) a food truck parks in our loading bay and sets up shop for a couple of hours in the early to mid afternoon. Burgerphenia was here awhile ago when I tried them (2014?) and they've been back a few times since my visit, but I've only been a customer that one time. I ordered the Barcelona burger ($9.50) with a side of fries ($3.00). With lunch setting me back nearly $13.00, I was hoping for something pretty dang awesome. There is something to be said for a simple Dick's Drive In burger, but sometimes fancy-schmancy is the way to go. The wait time was pretty long - not sure if there was a lack of organization, too many orders, or what. I patiently waited for about 10-15 minutes, when my name/bag was finally called. The lady working in the truck (server) apologized but I was happy. I had to run an errand, as I realized I had lost my bank card, so I went up to the bank where I left it. Once I got that sorted out, I sat down to quickly eat my burger. I unwrapped the burger to find it was their "Pitch" burger. I am sure it would be good in its own right, but I really wanted the Barcelona. I re-wrapped the burger and went back to the food truck to wait in line and explain the mix up. I know I grabbed the right bag when my name was called because it was the only bag there, but I think they mixed up which burger went in which bag perhaps. Anyways, I had to wait for my replacement burger but they did so without an issue. I would give this place 5 stars, but I knocked a couple off for a couple reasons: 1) Their website claims "Burgerphenia is more than just Seattle's best burger, It's a revelation." I don't believe they serve Seattle's best. Sure, this is a subjective opinion but that's my feeling. 2) At $9.50, I was hoping/expecting something that truly leaned towards Seattle's best burger. A pricetag like that warrants something pretty spectacular and it wasn't anything memorable. I did like the unique flavors and accompaniments, though. Would I try Burgerphenia again? I can't say that I would. It isn't bad, but it isn't "the best" and with a pricetag of $8.50+ per burger, it makes me think twice about spending it on an okay burger. read more

Best burgers I've had in Bellevue. I'm so glad they came to my campus today. I loved the juiceness of the patties and the softness of the bun. I got the Milan and the flavors were fantastic. It was so good! Wait time was not long and customer service was awesome like everything else. read more

Went to their food truck for the first time. Thought it was super delicious. I got the drive-in burger & fries. Burger was good. Looked fresh. Im not exactly sure what it is, but the drive-in sauce was super tasty. Fries were a perfect crispy-ness. Would definitely eat there again! read more

We checked these guys out at Nine Yards brewery with our kids. I mention the kids because they're incredibly picky eaters. These were some of the best burgers of my life... And my son, gobbled his up incredibly fast - every last bite! My daughter finished hers as well, with no complaints (unheard of for a teenager). I loved that they made kid sized burgers for them too. Yum! Come back to Nine Yards soon!! read more

Incredible Milan burger, delicious, moist and strong cheese but right on the mark!

The Milan is one of the best burgers I have ever had. And the fries with herbs were delicious and huge.

I got a burger there that was good but the bun was really burnt so when the credit card survey they have on Square popped up on my receipt I told them that I had a problem. They quickly responded telling me they had a burner issue on their truck and that they would refund the burger and give me a new one next time. Got my new burger today and they kept their promise and gave me a new meal. Great customer service. Their burger prices are high but they use good ingredients. Will be $15 with burger and fries. Fries are awesome with a hint of Thai basil and huge, kind of dwarfs the burger. read more

The simple white trailer with the mod theme might not look like the best burger joint in town, but prepare to be surprised. My wife and I had the opportunity to try John's incredible food last night. She had the drive in burger and I had the Milano. Both burgers come out quickly, hot and juicy, and we were deeply impressed with both the quality of the ingredients and the combination of flavors. My burger had the perfect amount of Gorgonzola, onion fries, and a blend of other incredible fresh tasting sauces. Drive in burger was even better. Both burgers came with white truffle fries that were literally bursting with truffle flavor and paired perfectly with a citrus aioli. These burgers are transcendent. Go try them! read more

Good lord. That was the most fantastic burger I've had since I became a vegetarian. The Barcelona is truly mind blowing.

This place.. WTF. We had the pleasure of the food truck outside of Rubens and holy shit this place is on another level. The Milan burger is nuts, the Barcelona will make you feel like your in Spain with a beautiful woman's tits smothering your face. Do yourself a favor and get this shit in your mouth. read more

We absolutely love this place. We seek them out for their fries, but their burgers are amazing as well. Family owned/operated, and they really care about their service. I would whole heartedly support these guys and their great food. Keep it up! read more

Wow and wow! We've had the Saigon, the Barcelona, and the Milan--all creative takes on the burger. I've had many, many burgers in my life. Even the great ones were just taking the burger up a notch with some bacon or blue cheese or jalapeños. John has created something beyond 'up a notch'. The Saigon gives you a subtle Vietnam flavor profile, the Milan is a party of gorgonzola and bacon, and the Barcelona throws in crispy onion and marinated artichokes. We've enjoyed our burgers with a side of herb seasoned fries (enough for two) or garlic fries. In a city where a decent burger usually will run you $15, John and the folks at Burgerphenia are providing a public service. read more

Not happy with this food truck at all. First, they didn't have half the items listed on their on-line menu, nor did they have any of the soups that were on the menu on the truck. They were very disorganized. I was looking forward to the fish tacos, but since they didn't have fish, I had to settle for a burger. I got the Pitch. Several people at T-Mobile also got this burger. None of us got the bacon that was supposed to be on it, they were overloaded with mustard, were pink inside and were hardly warm when we got up to our desk. When you're paying $9 plus tax, you expect to get the bacon you paid for and a burger that will fill you up, and is edible (one coworker couldn't finish hers due to how pink it was). The burger was really no bigger than a Dick's burger. We could have gone across the street to Red Robin and gotten a bigger burger AND fries for the same price. This was kind of a rip off in my opinion, even if the bacon had been included. I do expect to pay a little more for a food truck, but this one is not really worth it when you're still hungry after a $10 burger. I tried a coworkers fries, and they were good, but she ordered the garlic and got the herb! Hope they can get it together! I give one star because the meat itself had good flavor and the fries were crispy. read more

My burger was cooked rare, almost to the point where it was all pink! Just barely a little cooked on the sides. The flavors were good, but I would have preferred they asked how I would like it cooked since I cannot eat it as rare as it was. I was unable to eat more than a couple bites because of it being so rare, so I basically wasted money (it wasn't cheap) for something I could not eat. I was very disappointed. Truffle fries are the only reason I'm giving a 3, because those were yummy! read more

Discovered this food truck outside of Reuben's Brews. I ordered "The Pitch" burger and it was absolutely delicious! My only qualm was that for $11 I would expect my burger to come with fries! Otherwise I'm happy and full :-) Really friendly, family run business, super fresh, unique, and delicious food! read more

No bad, but not great. The Gorgonzola really overpowered the rest of the flavors on the Milan and the Barcelona didn't have much flavor at all. What was most disappointing was the fries. Calling them herbed is more than generous and I'm fairly certain they came from a frozen bag read more

The best Seattle burger experience I have ever had! My friend and I went to the new Reuben's taproom this past weekend and Burgerphenia was parked right out front. We were just a tad to late and the truck was closed. The owner (Jon) noticed our disappointment, approached us and offered us a burger if we came back on Tuesday. True to his word, we showed up tonight and got two heaping Barcelona Burgers. They were out of this world!!! Not over cooked, incredible toppings, gourmet bun and only 9 bucks! He even went so far as to sit with us and have a beer. What an amazingly nice guy. The truck is family owned/operated and they whole heartedly care about their customers. Much love Burgerphenia, keep on keeping on! read more
