    Sad cheeseburger and fries for $25
    Michael M.

    "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.

    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.

    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?]
    Mark T.

    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.

    Located in Redmond, WA, the Third Place is a full-service Korean restaurant with a full menu of…read moreKorean favorites, known for their Korean Fried Chicken (KFC). Our family took advantage of the chicken's ability to maintain their crispiness, even for carry-out. It was OK, though a little confusing. Once we settled on KFC for dinner, our hosts (daughter and son-in-law) suggested carryout from 'The Third Place', which was a little out of the way from where we were. It is the Third restaurant opened by the owner, all Seattle area locations known for her KFC (Shin Sung Korean restaurant with Underground Kitchen and the since closed Yeon's Chicken). The chicken was ordered beforehand, and because it is prepared fresh when ordered, it took a bit of time for the order to be complete. There is a limited amount of sauce choices, so we chose Honey Garlic ($23.99) and the classic Yangnyum ($23.99), both marked as Whole Chicken size. Also a side order of french fries ($7.99) completed the order. The fries were good: nice and hot, heavily battered potatoes, providing a nice amount of carbs to go with the fried chicken. The chicken came with pickled radish (chicken-mu) which for me is a must, and it was good. In terms of the chicken, they were all wings, which isn't what I expected: getting the breast and thigh pieces chopped into bite-size pieces, battered and sauced, is what makes it KFC, vs all wings which is more like a Buffalo wing restaurant. So we still got the expected 14 pieces, but they were all wings (flats and drums). I thought the sauces were fine (intentionally ordered mild), and the chicken did maintain a crunch (though not as shattering as the best we've had).

Although we didn't order any dishes that made use of the advanced tabletop, I still think it's so cool! Despite the tables also having a digital kiosk, I appreciated how they still handed us actual menus and manually took our order, both of which are becoming less common these days. Our group started with some hot tea and ordered three dishes which was the perfect amount to share. We loved each item and I enjoyed tasting the various banchan side dishes (included with most main menu items): broccoli, traditional kimchi, omelet, potato, salad and kimchi cucumbers. I can be picky about kimchi, but this one had an ideal balance between tartness, spice, slight sweetness and umami. Their kimchi cucumbers were also a hit as they were refreshing with a tantalizing heat. + SEAFOOD PANCAKE ($25): My first time having a seafood pancake and it won't be my last! It was hot right off the pan with a crispy golden exterior. The seafood included baby shrimp, baby octopus and calamari. It seemed like the portion of seafood was reasonable since I had some in almost every bite, however I don't recall seeing much shrimp... mostly calamari and octopus. They added a lot of green onion, which I personally liked as it gave the pancake an element of freshness. This came with a side of soy dipping sauce, but I enjoyed it as is. The portion size was generous for the three of us. + KIMCHI BEEF TOFU SOUP ($22): This soup was basically a comforting hug in a stone pot. It arrived at our table, still bubbling, with a small bowl of rice. While there wasn't a ton of beef in the soup, the pieces were lean and tender and there was enough to split between the three of us. I loved the smooth silky tofu, and the kimchi gave the soup a little tang. Adding a scoop of rice into my personal bowl and pouring the soup on top made for perfect bites as the grains absorbed the broth. We requested a medium spice level which was just right for me. + HOT POT BI-BIM-BAP w/ CHICKEN ($25): You can't go wrong with this dish! Carrots, radish, zucchini, bean sprouts, spinach and a raw egg topped the bed of rice along with our protein choice of chicken. We stirred in the egg immediately and I enjoyed all the fresh vegetables in the bowl. The chicken was delicious as well and seemed to have a slightly sweet marinade. The best part is the little bites of rice that crisped up against the side of the bowl, adding some toasty notes and texture. We forgot to drizzle on some of the red chili sauce provided with the dish, so I'll need to do that next time! The three of us had a terrific dinner here and the service is so kind. We were checked on three times, which surpassed my expectations. We came for an early dinner on Sunday, so it was relatively quiet, even shortly after 6:00P. Even if the restaurant was full, the tables are spaced comfortably apart and I noticed they even had a separate section that is walled off for a larger group. Parking is also easy, running right alongside the neighboring walking trail. Needless to say, I'll be back!
