The Black Duck is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant and bar in Issaquah. I can vouch for the…read moremushroom burger and the duck pizza, as well as some of the whiskey cocktails. The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!

Wonderful experience. Great service and super friendly…read more The food was amazing. Had the fish and chips for the first time. They were Really good! The beer selection and cocktail choice is awesome. Loved the stock manhattan cocktail. My wife enjoyed the Snap Dragon cocktail, nice use of tequila on this drink. Kinda busy for a Friday night, but got a table right away. Nice buzz in the place, mild rumble to the room.

Finally tried other menu items…read more Fish sandwich (4): decent. Basically 2 of their fish n chips fillets on a bun with tartar sauce. Fish was good. BLT (4): good thick cut bacon on toasted bread. Decent as well. You can add the works (all fixins) on anything. I'm glad I tried these other items but I'll probably stick with their burgermasters in the future. One detail I'll note during our last visit is their dine-in line management needs work. There were 2 lines forming without any coordination. One inside and one out the door. They need to have more clearly marked lines or some sort of management in place or you may potentially wait unnecessarily long. I still love the dining options though. Inside, in your car, or takeout/drive-thru. They even have warmed lockers to keep your food warm in secured lockers until you pick up. Nice new facilities! Overall, this has become one our favorite burger joints in the area. we'll definitely be back.

We stopped in her last month and tried Burgermaster for the first time…read more The parking was not ideal, the spots they did have were incredibly tight and there were too many people and not enough spaces so people were double parking along the curb. It almost deterred us from stopping here altogether. At one point, I said it wasn't worth it and we should just go somewhere else, but my husband eventually found a spot. I liked that they have a lot of outdoor seating. We bring our little dog everywhere with us so that it important. It was also later in the afternoon and the huge Burgermaster logo on the building did a great job of providing shade. There were a lot of bumps in the service portion of our visit. The staff we interacted with seemed young and inexperienced but I am guessing they are still working out the kinks. A gentleman sitting at the table next to us outside got very angry that they did not take his name down correctly and kept calling for someone else, so his meal was just sitting there getting cold until he went to check. I had my husband wait inside after that and it was a bit chaotic. They weren't incredibly busy or anything but they just all seemed to be learning at the same time. The staff did try joking with us to lighten the mood but it was a bit awkward. We ordered a double baconmaster with onion rings, a mushroom burger with fries and a Tom and Jerry shake. It was $45 before tip for 2 people which is kinda crazy for fast food but we had high hopes. The burgers were standard and totally average as were the onion rings. I would give them all 3/5 but I thought the fries were above average. They were cooked and seasoned well. The shake was delicious. 5/5 all day, but it was so small. We asked for large but were told there was only one size available. They are missing out by not offering larger sizes and it makes zero sense. If I had known they what I know now, I would have ordered two shakes and some fries. I might come back when they are more established, even though my experience was left plenty to be desires because I think there is definitely potential here.

Nut allergy friendly: No issues with anything I ordered…read more Parking: Plenty in the strip-mall like lot. Time to Drinks: 8 Minutes Time to Order: 23 Minutes TL;DR Pros: Good portions and a decent burger / Cons: Very, very pricey! We arrived around 8:30 PM on a Thursday evening after hiking Mount Little Si and were promptly seated and served. I got a Rockstar burger, and paid to upgrade the normal fries to truffle fries. I got some sticker shock from the burger price at first, but they do include fries in the price so it's not as insane as it looks at first glance. I would say the truffle fries are definitely worth the upgrade, but only one person really has to do them - the portions are massive! We got a mix of sides to share. The onion rings (four to an order) are large and crispy. The tater tots were decent. I'd say the truffle fries are definitely worth an order if you are with a group. Definitely ends up a bit pricey at just under $60 for two drinks and a burger with the upgraded fries. I'd say if it were 20% cheaper or if they had options to order burgers without the sides to share one order of fries/tater it would be solid, but it is a bit pricey for what it is.

It's been years since visiting one of these locations, but since Burger Master down the street was…read moresuch a hot mess, we ended up here to try to fulfill a burger craving. The menu hasn't changed in a long time, so I'm usually getting my incredibly messy (and expensive) Rockstar burger. While the burgers are large, the beef patties are just ok, essentially not memorable. The milkshake is not worth $9, and pass on the thick undercooked onion ring app. Honestly the fries are the most reliably good part of the meal. The economy is rough right now, but 2 burgers and fries, onion rings and a milkshake ended up being hella steep for the lower quality and it's hard to justify a return visit.

For that kind of money you deserve better food. It was so loud everyone was yelling so they could be heard. BRING BACK SIZZLERS.

The service was fast and the cashier was friendly. The place was ok , there were only a couple people in there . Being right after lunch.

No issues and the staff seemed friendly. Execution is as expected. There were a couple times that I felt they could have done better. Primarily packaging and adding napkins. Fries all over the bag is okay, but better if they placed it in there right side up. Food has been solid. I have a few go-tos. Default of course is their double-char. I also like their teriyaki char. Haven't really ventured outside of those 2 since I like them so much. I always seem to get their onion rings as well. Really crispy. Overall, this Habit is good and in a good location for me.

Sadly they were out of their corn chowder by 6:30. My friend happily scarfed down her entire porkchop, which she was impressed to have done as they're quite large chops! I was not 100 percent sold on their interpretation of bread pudding but that was more a personal style preference than a bad item. Our server was great - friendly and checked in on us but not so much as to interrupt conversation. It's a fairly large restaurant and was bustling on a Saturday night. I will say if you have an important conversation to have, probably not the right place as it's quite noisy, especially if you're near the kitchen. Or ask to move to the patio, if the weather is good! If you want a busy place with a community feeling, this is perfect.

The house made ketchup they are so proud of is very sweet. So if you really don't like sweet with your fries be warned. So decided to try them for dinner. I had the zucchini lasagna. Yikes. Lets call it dry cheese lasagna with a sliver or 2 of zucchini. Was really expecting a more veggie type dish. Not what I got. Also the arugula and pickled red onion salad was super bland. My hubby tried the halibut dish at 42$. He had an overcooked piece of fish and a side of basic potatoes and broccoli. So sorry to say that this place....as cute as it is and a nice as they are is off our list.
