    Great State Veggie Burger
    Sara S.

    The person who took our order was awesome! She had such a great disposition and was so helpful. We got the Great State Veggie Burgers without cheese (vegans)and with caramelized onions, and they were pretty good. We got onions rings and fries, as well. It was super busy, but we managed to snag a hightop. We didn't have to wait too terribly long for our food. I wouldn't say this is the most amazing veggie burger I've ever had, but it was completely acceptable as a last stop before heading home.

    This was my first visit to Great State Burger. The location looked vibrant, and the food smelled good, so we thought we'd give it a try. The kid at the counter was very patient and helped us choose what to order. We ordered two great burgers and fries. I wanted my burger without cheese, but I received a cheeseburger anyway. Rather than complain, I just ate it. The food was okay. I liked the burger, but it was hard to tell whether or not it was actually good because all I tasted was the cheese. My sister prefers cheeseburgers, and she thought the burger was pretty decent. We both thought the fries were just ok. They definitely could have been better. They tasted a little weird to us but couldn't pinpoint what was off about them. Personally, I didn't care for the ketchup either. The Jones soda wasn't our favorite, but we liked the lemon lime and the berry lemonade. The cola flavored one was gross. We dined in and found the experience satisfactory. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. There were ample seating options despite it being around lunchtime. I'd eat at Great State again if given the opportunity.

    For a fast burger joint, this was satisfying. It's great that you can get a burger for under $10, but they are pretty small. The onion rings were pricy at $7, but they were amazing. Not too "oniony" and perfect crisp to them. Great location not too far from convention center and Amazon offices. Burgers and ingredients were fresh. Fast service and nice laid back casual ambiance. I would come back again and try the milkshakes. The state burger sauce was also great on my burger.

    2 burgers, 1 fry, 1 onion ring for $50.73. Are. You. Kidding. Me.? You're a fast food joint. I can get the same for less at El Guacho.

    I tried the seasonal burger and it was decent. My only comment would be that the patty was pretty dry. But I liked the interesting flavor combo. I tried some of my friends fries and they were great! I think I'd comeback if I were in a pinch.

    It's still a pretty average place. I ordered a burger and they forgot the tomato and lettuce, so it was very plain. The portions are still small as usual and I don't like how they charge an extra dollar for caramelized onions. I do like their milkshake though. I got their chocolate malt shake this time and it tasted like melted chocolate ice cream which I love.

    Extremely overpriced fast food. This place is a joke they make it look like in their advertisement you're going to get a really big juicy Quality burger instead you get something that's equivalent to the size of happy meal or Dick's hamburger. I can eat at a legitimate burger spot such as Red Robin kid Valley or decent restaurant and get a way bigger better burger for a better price! The workers were not friendly not attentive the food came out really slow. Two burgers one fries and one drink came to over $47! That is insane. They literally wanted $15 for a regular size milkshake. And they only have the basic milkshake flavors. The french fries taste exactly like elementary school french fries or hospital cafeteria. The fries are the regular frozen crinkle cut french fries you can buy at your grocery store. Never going back I would not recommend this restaurant whatsoever. The only good thing I have to say is that there is decent seating close by And they didn't charge me for ketchup.

    Easy, inexpensive meal for four. Burgers nowadays can be $20 easily and it's nice to get a tasty simple burger for 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of most places. Tasty fries- not too salty. The wait was short and tasty smaller burger and fries hit the spot. They also can provide lettuce buns if you cannot eat the buns- they don't have GF buns but the lettuce is a good option and don't charge extra for it like other businesses. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

    Fries!!!!

    Burgers and fries here are great, food is ready in minutes! They have kiosks by the entrance for customers to order, which make ordering a lot easier. I also like the atmosphere here with some arcade games that we can play while waiting for food.

    tl;dr the juicy Caribbean pork sandwiches at this revived Seattle mini-chain live up to the…read morelegendary hype Un Bien is arguably Seattle's most popular sandwich joint, and its dramatic history begins with Cuban chef Lorenzo Lorenzo and his initial shop, Paseo. Lorenzo opened Paseo in 1994, where his popular Cuban roast pork sandwiches were regarded as among the best in the country. After years of local expansion, Paseo abruptly filed for bankruptcy in 2014. The brand was subsequently bought out by a local entrepreneur, but the sale did not include Paseo's secret recipes (the reboot attempted to reverse engineer the sandwiches with varying success). So, in 2015, Lorenzo's sons revived Paseo under a new name, Un Bien, armed with their father's original recipes. Nowadays, Un Bien is generally regarded as superior to Paseo, and you can grab their Caribbean sandos at one of the three locations across Seattle. You can't miss the pastel pink-and-teal palette of the original shack on an otherwise drab block of Ballard. As you approach the wooden window, you are greeted by the aroma of sauteed meats and veggies. Communal laquered wood benches are lined up underneath a covered pergola. Fifties hits ring respectfully around the kitchen. My partner and I visited for late weekday lunch, and we ordered immediately. We opted to focus on the signature pork shoulder, so we split the #1 Caribbean Roast and #2 The Press. Across both sandwiches, we were impressed by the tender pork, rich onions, lemon-forward aioli, and marinade-soaked baguette. The standard roast pork sandwich added on pickled jalapenos and crisp romaine, culminating in a dynamic flavor that accentuated the meat. Meanwhile, The Press featured tart banana peppers, smoked ham, and melty Swiss, amping up the sweet and savory flavors alike; we agreed that this extra-messy sandwich just edged out the standard version. Our order took just minutes to be prepared, and the bill just topped $30. Despite the fanfare, I still found myself surprised by just how satisfying Un Bien's sandwiches turned out to be. Across all the food I ate in Seattle, only these pork sandwiches would be worth a return visit, even if I had to venture out of my way.

    Messy, pricey, totally overrated…read more My family and I visited Un Bien and arrived approximately 45 minutes before closing. We ordered promptly, but were told we would only have about 10 minutes to use the seating area before it closed. When we asked for clarification because the restaurant was advertised as being open until 9:00 PM, staff confirmed they were open until then but said the seating area would close earlier anyway. After receiving our food, we were told not to sit down and were asked to leave the seating area altogether. The interaction felt abrupt and discourteous, especially given that we had arrived well before closing and had purchased food with the expectation that we could eat on-site. The food itself was average, but the poor customer service and inconsistent messaging about seating left a much stronger impression than the meal. There are other better places. Skip.

The restaurant itself leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm not asking too much. I believe the owner said he was trying to revamp the place. I hope that the area comes alive in the future years, that should help. Here's the issue though, this is the slowest spot ever. I've waited 30 minutes for fries - FRIES. I don't mind waiting for food, but it should remain reasonable. There were only two or three people working, and one man did tell us this, but I need to be honest - this was on Super Bowl Sunday. No one was able to get anyone a beer from the tap for 40 minutes, the food took forever and it appeared that online orders were being prioritized (which makes sense, you make as you get orders coming in, but that puts your in person customers in an odd and sometimes frustrating position). To be honest, I probably wouldn't have minded as much if I just had some fries to snack on. I didn't mind as much this one time because I was just happy to find a place to watch the Super Bowl Half Time show, but other days, it's a little hard to look past. I wish this business the best, I live too close to not hope for its improvement! Looking forward to updating my review. At the end of the day, if you're hungry, it's late, this is your spot.

Instead, I received two containers of mac and cheese that were honestly not even edible to us and did not receive the fries I paid for. I have attached photos showing exactly what was delivered. What makes this even more frustrating is that there is apparently no way to contact the restaurant directly. If there's an issue with your order, you're routed to a generic feedback form that offers no immediate assistance, no customer service, and no real way to resolve the problem. I didn't want a survey. I wanted the food I actually ordered. It's incredibly disappointing that they can make a mistake with an order and then create a system where customers have no practical way to reach someone who can fix it. If my order is wrong, I should be able to contact the restaurant and have the issue corrected, not be sent into an online black hole and hope someone reads a form days later. Mistakes happen. What turns a mistake into a terrible customer experience is when there is no accountability and no way to get help. I ordered fries. I got mac and cheese. There was no way to contact the restaurant to make it right. That's not acceptable. Would not recommend ordering from this location unless you're prepared to accept whatever shows up at your door with no ability to reach anyone if something goes wrong!!
