    We stopped for our first Fatburger on a weekday afternoon. This is a traditional kinda burger, wings, sandwich joint with a few tables and booths. We had the standard Fatburger and it was good; dressed well and hot. Fries were ok, too. Soft drinks are Pepsi products. Service was fast and friendly. The place is definitely due for a refurbishment, tables might be bussed more effectively, and corners might profit from a deeper cleaning, but other than that it was a good burger experience.

    It says it on the tray "The last great hamburger stand". How true is that. A good 20 minutes to drive here I love the burgers and fat fries plus you can get onion rings. Shakes unimaginably good.

    "Fat burger"? More like "sad burger". Subpar, expensive, and nothing special. Place is a little dirty and rundown. The milkshake was okay and wasn't as amazing as people say it is (got the banana shake). The original burger doesn't even come with cheese so you have to pay extra. Total for everything was $25. That's just ridiculous. Rather go to five guys across the road.

    Plastic bag in burger

    I ordered food to go from Fatburger on Redmond Way and my burger had a piece of plastic bag in it.

    The quality of food here has gotten so bad over the last few month. Today was the worst it has ever been. We dined in, but somehow the onion rings were cold.. I also found this piece of plastic INSIDE my burger I discovered it after biting down on it :( unfortunately my family won't be eating here anymore.

    Amazing burger. I don't go very often to fast food places because I am scared of the quality, but yesterday Fatburger really surprised me, the patty was so tasty, and the vegetables had real flavor (what is so hard to find nowadays). Really cool place and the service was so kind btw!. Possibly the best quality burgers in the area.

    I ate their impossible burger and it was by far the best vegan burger I ate. Stuff was super friendly! I will be back very soon!

    great customer service! Food was delish and milkshake was the best I've ever had. Place was clean and food came out very quickly.

    This is a solid spot for getting huge, meaty burgers, and wings (?!) but that's about it. I have been to this Fatburger in the past - years ago - in search of finding a solid, fast-casual burger. This place definitely hits the mark for their burgers. I got the "large fatburger" - which is a single, 1/2lb burger. I can't imagine a person getting anything bigger - it's huge. I ordered online and they let you customize the burger. I got "The Works" - mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, relish, mustard. When i ordered, I thought "hmm... pickles and relish... interesting... but okay". It ended up being A LOT of pickle, but i didn't mind it! The patty was super thick and well cooked (just *barely* pink inside), which means it was juicy and delicious. It seemed well-seasoned and the toppings were all pretty fresh and bright. Fries - I got some skinny fries for the kids. They liked them, but I thought they were a bit underseasoned. Also, for take-out, they were super cold when we got home. Chili Fries - this was our reason for this particular visit. We'd done some research hunting for chili fries, and Fatburger popped up, so we wanted to give it a try. If this test worked out, maybe we could get chili cheeseburgers next time? But... the chili was just... meh. It was FINE, but lacked anything special about it. It probably just came from a can. It was a bit bland, maybe not salty enough. Not sure... I didn't finish mine - didn't seem worth the calories (and I was stuffed from the burger). Onion rings - their rings have the makings of some really good rings. We tried them as we were leaving in the car, and they were already slightly soggy. Sad face. The first one I got was pretty well seasoned, a good, thick onion with a bit of bite, but without stringing out of the covering. Pretty darn solid! But... then the subsequent rings were just plainly underseasoned. Disappointing. Wings - I saw that Fatburger had combined with Buffalo Express. I've never had Buffalo express, but my wife said people said the wings were pretty good... So, I ordered two 6-pieces (medium and carolina fire bbq) with blue cheese to try them (maybe it'd be a good wing destination?!) The wings were juicy and tender, thin breading, and not dry. Really, really good! The medium had a *really good* sauce that paired excellently with the blue cheese - as buffalo sauce does. The Carolina Fire BBQ wings were... confusing. When I ordered them on the site, I assumed they were ordered by spiciness - and these were second to last on the list (with "Scorchin" being the last, hottest one). So... maybe carolina referred to the carolina reaper pepper. But then it also said BBQ - so maybe it was a spicy carolina bbq sauce. Neither of these assumptions were true. The wings weren't very spicy - maybe a tiny bit hotter than the medium - and they weren't a carolina bbq sauce (carolina bbq sauce is identified by mustard and vinegar - this was more of a sweet, dark, classic bbq sauce). So... maybe it was just a normal BBQ with some carolina reaper powder to spice it up. That nit-picking aside, the wings were really good for what they were - medium-spicy, a bit sweet/tangy. Good and fun! So... will I ever be back to Fatburger? Unfortunately... probably not. Their burgers are actually a unique aspect - thick, meaty, juicy, huge... but I don't know that I ever want *just* a huge burger. I usually want more from the experience. Maybe if I'm in a super gluttonous mood for Burgers and Wings - and just skip the sides? haha.

    Subpar fish Sammy

    Tonight was our fatty meal of the week (no pun intended) and Fatburger was just the place. Food is cheap so we didn't expect much, to be honest. The burgers are super fat as the name implies, so unless you're Julia Roberts you most likely won't be able to fit the entire thing in your mouth for an even bite. Hubby really liked his Swiss mushroom burger, and my fish sandwich was subpar. Fish tasted fresh out of the freezer and it was mostly one big blob of mayo. For real, every bite left my hands covered in mayonnaise. So gross. It tasted alright though. The fries were delicious. They were just plain skinny fries but they were salted just enough and there was a good mixture of crunchy and mushy ones. The Oreos and cream milkshake (I told you this was our fatty night... don't judge us) was good, not amazing. It did taste like real ice cream and ice blended together. What I liked most about it was that it wasn't cloyingly sweet. Bottom line- food is alright, not spectacular. It works when you want a fatty fix on the cheap.

    Mushroom Swiss Burger [where's the Swiss?]

    We went to check out the Impossible Burger - it was possible!! We also got a regular burger and an order of hot wings because it's also a combination store much like the KFC-TacoBell portmanteau stores we've seen around town. I support this idea because it makes for a much larger menu. Back to the Impossible Burger - it's less dense than beef, and a very well seasoned "burger". It's almost like a creation you'd get at an ethnic restaurant; but I can't quite put my finger on what gives it the unique flavor. But I was commenting to my dining partner that the Impossible Burger is great because now vegans and vegetarians can actually have some fun in their lives by venturing to fun places that sell hamburgers. I had the large Mushroom Swiss burger - which had no swiss for some reason. Strange. Call me old fashioned but it would also have been nice to have been asked how well-done I wanted it cooked. It came nearly well-done. But for what it was, it was juicy and delicious. Fatburger did not skimp on mushrooms either! Yum. Finally we had a 10-pc order of boneless wings with the Red Hot Ranch sauce. They were a bit overpowering in terms of vinegariness if that's a word. They weren't too spicy, just too saucy? Again, the vinegar flavor of that sauce was really a bit much. Also, it came with one short piece of celery and one short carrot. Come on now - with a order of 10 wings they could have a BIT more celery! Fatburger was OK and I would gladly bring my sad vegan and vegetarian friends there.

    My husband brought me here for lunch today. My first time. He ordered a king burger for me. Add an American cheese which I love on my burger. I got onion rings, he got fries with his. The burger came in it looks pretty impressive. Half pound burger with the fixings. Mine had shredded lettuce tomato onion pickles mayonnaise and a little mustard. My first bite was mostly lettuce and bun. My opinion was way too much shredded lettuce on the sandwich. Un- proportionate to the meat and bun. The taste was pretty good. Wasn't fantastic but worthy of a try. My burger fell completely apart while I was eating it. My husband used his paper wrap the whole time. Maybe I should've taken a clue from him. The onion rings were really good. The hit of the party. Crispy and they did not come apart when you took a bite. Fries are OK. Could haveYou could get the thick or thin. We got thin. All in all it was OK. With all the burger places around, probably would not go back. Update-Dec. 19tH I came here today,Because the owner so graciously gave me a burger when I returned to update my review. I got the same as last time, except I tried the sweet potatoes French fries this time. King burger, add cheese & bacon. This is a Huge burger. Nicely cooked, good patty. The works. Lettuce tomato onion pickles mayo easy mustard. Nice soft buns. All in all a very good burger. The sweet potato fries were a bit over cooked, but a few were good. The service here is outstanding. Very friendly and helpful. I really like how they bring your food to you vie a card w your number on it. Nice touch. Thank you Fatburger for lunch.

I got the combo - Hawaiian chicken + karaage requesting extra salad instead of rice, as well as a half order of loco moco. It's nice that there is half order as a lot of Hawaiian restaurants tend to be full orders so it is incredibly hard to try a variety of options if you're solo or in a small group. The Hawaiian chicken and karaage both are juicy and delicious. It's great that the combo is the same price as the standard individual options so I got to try more variety without paying extra. I looked at the reviews and opted to remove the rice and get extra salad which was a good move - their chop chop salad is very delicious with a nice balance of dressing, cheese, and ham. I still had some rice from the loco moco, which was sufficient for me. The loco moco is good - I wished the patty was a bit less tough but the gravy and egg make up for it. Overall, great value and great food. I'd be a regular if I didn't live so far from Kirkland (1 hr drive for food can be challenging in busy schedules)

I noticed that most of the ladies who take the order, push for addons/fixin's, while the males listen to the order quietly. For example, my usual order is double baconmaster no lettuce no tomatoes. When I order with a male, he listens, takes the order and I pay, no drama. When a lady takes the order, she usually interrupts me at the "double baconmaster " and asks if I want onions pickles and whatever. So I have to say no, and say "no lettuce no tomatoes". She then asks again to confirm about onions and pickles etc. NOOOOOO I don't want anything more, just listen to what I want!!! Today in particular, this new lady that I never interacted with, did the same thing and made it very difficult and unpleasant. I wish the servers stopped being pushy and learned to just listen.
