    Great state Single Burger
    Jeremy L.

    Located in the mall, decided to try this place out. Not very impressed. Great state single burger (3): This was basically your standard fast food burger. Just moving here from SoCal, I guess I have a higher expectation of fast food burgers. This was good but nothing really spectacular or special. Size was fairly small as well. Fries were decent but overall underwhelming. I'd save the calories for a better burger.

    Giving two stars. Was the food good? Yes! Was one tiny little burger and tiny French fries worth $21 NO!! The two starts is for the flavor. The lack of anything more was the sheer volume of food for the price. My teen daughter and I shared a burger. $14 for the burger and $5 for fries. Next time I'll just swing by McDonald's wheee it tastes about the same and I'd get 12 times the food.

    Main counter and seating area

    Visited Great State Burger in Bellevue Square Mall. It's an easy place to find on the second floor near the center of the mall. No dedicated restrooms, and parking is shared with the mall as expected. The ordering experience wasn't the smoothest. The staffing seemed a bit light. Food was pretty good though, definitely the highlight of the visit. Seating is open right outside the restaurant, so it really depends on how busy the mall is. Not the fastest or most convenient, but solid if you're craving a burger mid-shopping. Efficient: No First-Time Friendliness: No Would I Return: No JY review

    Aw man Bellevue Great State Burger, more like bad state burger. If you're looking for a burger, I'd wait til you leave the mall for a better one. I came here on lunch break and having had Great State at a standalone location and found it pretty good, my expectations were set. It disappointed here. First off it seemed they were kind of disorganized. I approach the counter and the guy taking orders walks away without saying anything then the cook comes over and the order guy comes back, it just looked weird and was curious why the one guy didn't just say, be right with you. It's not like there was a big crowd. Just a weird interaction. The biggest problem was the burger itself, I decided to keep it simple with a cheeseburger. It didn't deliver, plain and simple. It looked like it was already made and seemed more evident since it came out so fast. The bun was dry as was the burger. The cheese was not melted, and it was not at all like the last time I had a Great State burger. Again, it wasn't even busy so I can't excuse them. They get an additional star because the shake was pretty good. Beyond that, I'd avoid this Great State, that does not live up to its name.

    We were waiting next door and thought it would be good to try this out. The burger is decent for what it is. The burger had a good texture and was made fresh. I think there was just something slightly off with the flavors, but it did its job of a quick snack before our meal.

    Located inside Lincoln Square South Tower next to other eateries, Nordstrom Rack and Cinemark Reserve movie theater dine-in 21+. It's a small order/pickup joint but ample seating shared with other restaurants; accepts cash/card; quality local ingredients; good burgers but on the small side yet surprisingly filling; excellent crinkle fries, not soggy; yummy shakes; fast/friendly service; safe/upscale Bellevue environment; free garage parking on weekends. Many reviews are negative because of the portions and price. As previously mentioned, the burgers are small, similar to Dick's but are made with much better quality ingredients. Bigger is not always better. The burger was juicy but not greasy. I didn't feel like I ate cheap fast food. I got a Great State Burger/fries/shake combo for $14.99+tax. It's not cheap but the quality & safe/upscale environment justified the price and seemed relatively reasonable for me considering how everything has gotten more expensive thanks to Bidenflation. A similar combo meal at McDonald's or Wendy's is almost or about the same price. I can imagine the rent is very high at Lincoln Square. Negative reviewers should stick with Dick's, White Castle, McD's, etc. and stay in Monroe or Tukwila. If you want a decent simple bite to eat after work or a casual spot for a date night at the movies, I recommend this place. Support your local small businesses & restaurants

    Ripped off!

    Burger was edible but just that. Way too small. Onion rings were overdone but get this...$7.00 and we got 5 onion rings...well done; no extra charge....don't, just don't!

Downtown Bellevue has an interesting set-up, with no McDonald's, Burger King, or Taco Bell within walking distance...there is a Wendy's though, so my wife and I decided to take a stroll to pick up a late lunch/early dinner. Ordered through the app. Even though I hadn't used it for a couple of years, it still offered some good deals, including a Dave's Single for $1 with other purchase, which is what I took advantage of. The app also allows you to customize by asking for eXTra toppings, which is what I did (pickle, onion, tomato, lettuce) for no charge. They use whole romaine lettuce instead of iceburg, which I hadn't noticed before. A Jr Vanilla Frosty ($1.79) was our dessert: quite small but creamy and delicious. I always get a small chili ($3.19) when at Wendys'...the large is only $1 more, but I've found the small is a better deal. The chili wasn't great this time, though: very runny with little flavor. My wife got a biggie bag (junior bacon cheeseburger, junior fries, small drink, and 4 piece nuggets (upgraded to spicy buffalo for extra dollar). They give you a ton of warm sauce topped on the 4 nuggets...need to eat it fast. A better deal is to get the normal nuggets and get the buffalo dipping sauce. They have a Coke free style machine, so can go wild with flavors with your drink. The restaurant was pretty clean, with a lot of sunny seating. The workers were rude: nobody was manning any of the walk-up lines, and multiple folks continuously ignored me as they walked past even though I made eye contact and gave a 'need help' nod while standing in the mobile pickup area. A simple 'Someone will be with you...' would have made a big difference.

If you're expecting traditional Chinese food, this isn't it -- and that's the point. Panda Express is Americanized Chinese with its own personality: sweeter, bolder, and undeniably satisfying. What I like: - Unique flavor profile: Dishes run sweeter than classic Chinese cuisine, but they're well-executed and flavorful in their own right. Orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp are crowd-pleasers for a reason. - Consistent quality: Across locations I've visited, the food tastes reliably the same -- comfortingly predictable when you want something quick and tasty. - Efficient service model: The assembly-line setup is a big win. You can customize your plate, watch it being prepared, and be out the door in minutes. Perfect for lunch breaks or grabbing dinner on the go. - Portion/value: Generous portions for the price, especially if you want a hearty meal without breaking the bank. What to keep in mind: If you want authentic regional Chinese dishes, look elsewhere. Panda Express is its own thing -- think familiar American flavors with an Asian-inspired twist. It leans sweet; if you prefer salty or spicy-forward dishes, ask for extra chili or try their spicier menu options. Bottom line: The Panda provides tasty, fast, and consistent food. Great for when you want a satisfying, quick meal with flavor that's distinctly Panda.

I love their lasagna, but it has spinach in it, which I'm intolerant to, so the first and last time I ordered lasagna at Beecher's was a pretty painful experience.

The mac & cheese is available in classic, meat ball & salmon and comes in 2 sizes , 8 oz and 16 oz. I wanted to try the meat ball but they were sold out. I got the salmon, happy dance before I took my first bite & the verdict: That was some good mac & cheese, this is what I call mac & cheese. I can't compare other mac & cheese to this. Its my first time trying mac & cheese with salmon and it was actually unique and so good, loved the flavors, the hint of lime, dill, cheese, penne pasta, smoky salmon, & sauce. Tip., there's no bread crumbs on mac & cheese but ask for the fresh croutons to add to your mac & cheese. **Remember stop by here instead of dealing with the lines at Pike's Place. This is the best impromptu, unplanned visit ever!
