Burger was pretty good, except it was a little small for the price. I liked the fries though, they were crispy and not too salty. Service was pretty quick. Really the only problem is that the amount of food doesn't feel justified for the price. read more

Expensive for what you get, ridiculously small portions, no bacon on my boss burger. What a ripoff!

Honestly save your money this burger isn't worth the amount of money you pay for it. It tastes the same as an average fast food burger, but is 2.5x the price. read more

Great State Burger - Burger - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great State Burger is a solid burger joint sandwiched between the Downtown, Belltown and South Lake Union neighborhoods. You'll immediately fall in love when you notice the nostalgic decor of the place, which gives it a family friendly vibe. The burgers are straight forward. You have the option of ordering a single, double, kid's, or veggie burger that can be upgraded to a meal. I have had both the single and double. The sizes of both burgers are reasonable but if you also want fries and a milkshake, I highly recommend sticking with a single. I was feeling stuffed when I ordered a double combo meal. The burgers are generally filled with cheese, house sauce, lettuce and tomatoes. You can add sauce, raw or grilled onions at an extra 50 cents each or all 3 for $1.50. Personally the sauce isn't the best "secret" sauce I've had on a burger (I think it needs something tangy to complete it) so I'd skip on ordering extra sauce. Do go for the grilled onions, it gives the burger that extra flavor. The fries are fine. Crinkled cut fries aren't my favorite fries but I do like that these do have a little crisp to them. Two things I do like about Great State: Refillable Jones Soda station & you can order milkshakes in an 8oz size. Makes me happy knowing I can have both a burger and milkshake in one sitting without going overboard. Clean, straight to the point and efficient service. I can see myself coming back to Great State when I'm in the area or for a family function. read more

This particular location does not know how to make a simple burger . I've always been a fan because the food is locally sourced and the fish sauce is something I really love . But with their prices being almost double for basic burger it's just no longer worth it. read more

I had the Great State Burger and it was just very mediocre. It's really not much different from a McDonald's or Dick's cheeseburger but is 2-3x the price. I was impressed by their fries bc crinkle cut fries are almost never actually crispy and these were but overall this place really isn't worth the price. read more

It was pricey and the food just isn't that good. We tried it while out in Seattle i personally wouldn't spend the money here again. Just wasn't for us. read more

Overall, I give Great State Burger a solid 3.5 star rating. I've been here twice: Once for a Yelp event and another separate occasion. In my opinion, the staff was super friendly, and it's a good alternative option if you work in that Amazon hub-bub area. Pros: -Friendly staff -Quick service and food made to order -Atmosphere is clean and simple, with a slight modern twist. -They serve beer! Cons: -Costs can be considered a bit high/pricey (even if it's considered cheap relative to the other restaurants around them) -Meat was a little dry on the two occasions I tried them out. read more

I agree with many of the reviews, this place is overpriced. I went all in on the Boss Burger and it was good, just not $13.00 good. My buddy had the cheeseburger and I would take a Dick's burger over it, every time. Service was fast, kiosk ordering. read more

Location: located next to Amazon HQ, Great State burger is easy to locate. Parking can be rough as there is only street parking. Note that Amazon's Day 1 building garage has free parking on weekday evenings (4pm onwards) and during all day on weekends, so that can be a parking option. Ambience: clean and spacious with plenty of seats. Seven booths that seat can seat four each, half a dozen tables, bar-type seating for five or six, and a few tables outside. Music. Clearly marked ordering and pick up areas. Service: friendly service. They keen the place clean. Self-serve soda from Jones soda machine (cane sugar cola, sugar free cola, root beer, lemon lime, ginger ale, green apple soda etc.). You'll get a buzzer which indicates when the food is ready. Food: tried the veggie combo and it was OK. The burger is smaller and simpler than I expected. Deep fried potato patty (it is crunchy but tastes a bit like oil), tomato, lettuce, onion (they ask raw or grilled onion), and sauce. Jones soda is good, but as it is cane sugar the cola tastes different than Coke or Pepsi. Fries were perfect. Value: $15 for the veggie combo does seem a bit much given the small burger, but it is prime real estate being right next to Amazon HQ. I might be back for the fries. read more

Normally love these burgers, but your customer service is absolute garbage. Your automated system wasted a ton of our time. The total lack of a service number, working email, or any discernable semblance of customer care in the form of a useful website or phone app is atrocious. Address not found Your message wasn't delivered to hello@greatstateburger.com because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail. LEARN MORE This is now my second attempt at receiving customer service as your Laurelhurst location's listed email is as follows: greatstatelaurelhurst@eatseacreatures.com. This email got kicked back and now I am being further inconvenienced in my simple attempt to get my money back from food I bought and never received. Frank ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Frank Date: Mon, Jan 4, 2021 at 11:08 PM Subject: New Year's Order To: greatstatelaurelhurst@eatseacreatures.com To Whom It May Concern: We checked online to see if your Laurelhurst location was open on New Year's and were delighted to see that it was. We like your location better than Bellevue and drove up to get some of our favorite burgers. We ordered online, paid, and received text notifications that our "order was ready." We pulled up to your location and, to our dismay, not only was our order not ready, but the store was closed. That was not a "Great" experience. We're glad your employees got the day off, but it would have been "Great" if: 1.) Your website didn't advertise the store as "open" when it wasn't. 2.) Your website didn't allow us to place an order and pay in advance for food that wasn't available. 3.) Your (apparently) automated system didn't send us a confirmation text that our "order was ready" when, in-fact, the store wasn't even open. 4.) And/or if someone from the store had even bothered to follow up with me about the order that I never received. It's been three days with no contact. Anyway, that all sucked, but please just refund our money for the burgers. I look forward to receiving confirmation that the refund has been issued. Thank You, Frank read more

Great State Burger - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm happy to find a "fast food" burger place nearby. The burgers here are far from greasy and oily fast food burgers. I actually thought that these burgers reminded me of home (In N Out). I really enjoyed that the buns were slightly crisp on the outside and I like how everything from here is local and organic. I enjoy places like this because it makes a comforting food better for your body without lacking in flavor. As for the fries, I liked those too. The crinkle cut fries are fun and were perfectly crisp. Overall, I would say that Great State can be pricey for what it is, but if you're looking for a fast burger that's very good, then this is the place. I know that when I have my next burger craving, I'll be coming back here. read more

This review for our visit way before the pandemic started / covid existed. I wanted to come here solely because of their organic grass-fed beef burgers. It's a burger joint with burgers, fries, onion rings OH and they do have a breakfast menu, but we're here for the burgers though. We came, we ate, we enjoyed it. Would totally stop by again if we're ever in the neighborhood. Please open a few locations up north like in Edmonds! read more

I got the double burger combo. $16.50! burger was ok, good but nothing special. fries we over cooked and tasted like they had been sitting out too long. the price is too high for fast food. kinda like blue moon burger if u like that food. read more

If you know me by now I loveee my burgers. I ordered the single burger with a chocolate milkshake and fries. If you like "smashed" burgers then you will like this place. I actually prefer these type of burgers. If you like meat don't worry get two patties. The fries were delicious. The hamburgers were delicious, they were neatly assembled. The flavors of the meat could've been a little tastier, but over it was a great burger to me. The milkshake was perfect for me. i don't normally like to much because it will go to waste or I end of being really full. During lunch time this place is packed. I advise going after work and get your burger on. read more

Came here for a quick lunch on Friday. I had heard great things but never been since it's in Seattle. They have 3$ Rainier tall boys, which is awesome to sit out on the patio and drink. I got the double, no tomato of course. They make a really good burger. The patty has the little crispy edges I love so much. Not sure what their secret sauce is but it's really good, especially with the cheese and pickles. I didn't get any fries, but every order of them that walked by me made me wish I did! Definitely recommend checking this place out!! read more

Great State Burger - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's not a bad option for a quick bite but it's not great either. It's strictly between okay and good. What was really disappointing was the sodas they had. They were quite evidently subpar and just further lowered the experience. I hope they don't lose more customers to it. read more

Very unspectacular Berger,I was hoping for something more than a thrown together. Tasted okay but not for a specialty burger not so.

Really pains me to say it but Great State has fallen off ever since Sea Creatures took it over. The breakfast sammies, that used to be the BEST in Seattle, now are middling at best. They switched to wrapping them up, instead of the adorable little paper bags they used to come in, which has made the english muffins soggy from all the grease. They also recently changed the burgers, to add in different options and new buns, which makes no sense since they were amazing. This place went from a burger joint that compared favorably to In-N-Out to an expensive poorly executed Kid Valley. Renee, please fix this. read more

The burgers are decent here. The menu is a bit limited, but they have all the basics of a burger place. They're known for their quality ingredients and with that comes with a higher price. I thought that the burger was pretty good, but the bun was a bit dry/dense. The crinkle cut fries were nice and crispy. They have Jones soda as well as milkshakes for drinks. You can also get a small cup for water. At the back of the store you can get your drinks & condiments. Utensils are located at the pick up station. The place is pretty spacious. There are a number of booth seats, tables and even outdoor seating. There's even a room off to the side with a large meeting table. However, it becomes pretty packed during the lunch rush. I like that they give you a pager that buzzes you to pick up your order, so you don't have to listen for your name. It also looks like you can place your order online to skip the line! It's very clean inside. The service was friendly and relatively quick, even during the lunch rush. They also have a gender neutral bathroom. read more

Another Yelp find! Based on your reviews we walked about a 1/2 mile to get a burger. Thank you. Delicious hamburgers and awesome fries! Jones soda on tap. Clean and open. Plug ins at every table so I could charge my phone. I just enjoyed this burger joint. I will return in April, and I will eat here again! read more

I truly believe that great state burger is under appreciated.. I love how easy it is to order and how simple the burgers are. I really appreciate how they offer a veggie option too. The buns taste like a potato type bun and everything that goes inside is so simple and good. The fries here are personally my favorite type of simple krinkle cut fries. They are always crunchy and have a very nice aroma to them. I really really like their fry sauce and how all the materials they use is recyclable. Never had a bad experience here will continue to come back. :) read more

I really enjoyed the burger I had here. It tasted great. Since they only have a single, double and veggie, they better do a good burger. I will definitely go back for another. I ordered the pickles on the side and they were simply ok. The fries are good but not stellar. The design of the restaurant is way to simple. It's not bland but not memorable either. If you want steaks to cook at home, they sell them. I saw one for $16 so I hope it's good but I'm not buying it. They keep the kitchen clean. I watched they moving things around to clean behind the equipment. read more

Not that great of a burger. The patty itself was really small compared to the size of the bun so it was a lot of bites of just bread. Fries were good and crispy. Save your money though and go to shake shack that's just down the street. Same price but much better quality of a burger. read more

A bit spendy but the ingredients are quality and the burgers and fries are really good, shakes as well. Similar to shake shack but Great State is better. read more

I am not a big burger fan but Great State lures me on the regular. I can really only rate their veggie burger which I think is divine with its crispy exterior. The place is clean and bright, the staff at the South Lake Union location is great and keeps a positive vibe even when it is mobbed with Amazonians. The areas of improvement are: (1) orders sometimes take super long (but they also have crazy high demand) and (2) the soda/water balance is inconsistent. I'd say that one out of every four visits the rootbeer is too watered down. Overall, I dig this place for a simple yum work place lunch. Thanks SLU Great State! read more

First of all, everyone putting a bad review is trippin. 2nd of all the $10 was worth it. The fries, the burger, the service everything was just DELICIOUS. We visited from California in Jan 2017 and they were playing the weekends entire brand new album. Now when we hear the weekend we automatically think about this place and our trip. State burger is a huge part of our memories of Seattle. You should def. go here if your visiting Seattle. Shoutout to the cooks in the back! read more

Great State Burger - Freaking Amazing - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ordered a single burger with a chocolate malt milkshake. The bun was pretty good, with a crispy buttery crust, but the burger patty itself was pretty flavorless and probably what you'd expect out of any other fast food chain. The American cheese in the burger was also not too great, and I ended up taking most of it out as it left a bit of an unpleasant texture and taste in my mouth. Definitely should have asked for no lettuce as I'm not a fan of the flavor of iceberg lettuce (which is weird to say because it doesn't really have that much flavor, but it's that combo of no flavor with water and crunch that just rubs me the wrong way?). The malt milkshake was literally like trying to drink froyo out of a straw, it was so thick I could barely manage a few sips before I was done trying to drink any more. Brought it home but honestly not sure if I'll be able to finish that thing. But it was definitely a good milkshake! I think Oreo is a flavor of milkshake that I will never tire of and which will always trump any other flavor for me though, and sadly they didn't have that as an option. read more

I eat one burger a year!! 2016 was the Big Mac because of a craving. 2017 I ate Out and About burger which is surprisingly bomb. 2018 was In and Out burger in California. 2019 I found Great State Burger on Instagram @_kevionte by the way, but yeah I found this beautiful spot and fell in love. The burger was so good I wanted another, but I'm a one burger yearly guy. Until next time Great State Burger read more

Great State Burger - Roof Top @ Great State Burger - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wow! Quite surprised by this burger. This destroys Cali Burger. Might be one of the best burgers I've had in my 7 years of living away from In N Out. My wife and I felt like this burger tasted familiar. And my wife having the magical taste buds she does hit it right on the head when she said it tasted like a burger from Del Taco. And this is a GOOD thing. We love the burgers from there when we were younger. Which is weird that a Mexican place would have good burgers but they do. And this was a better version of that. I dropped a star for their lackluster fries and price though. I appreciate the crinkle cut fries but the frozen ones from the store are better than these. No seasoning at all. And $37 for 2 double burgers, 1 kids burger, 3 fries and a tiny drink? Are you kidding me!? I think I figured out where all of Amazon's money is going. Into some odd biodome's across the street for Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin to make another movie in and burgers at this place. It was pretty damn good though. Just not worth going to often. read more

Overall a great burger and great fries but a little pricey. I got the double combo and the buns on the burger are fantastic. The burger itself is pretty good and a decent size and the accoutrements were great as well. The burger did get a little bit messy with the juice but it was okay because it was a tasty treat. Fries were good but nothing special. They do have a really cool cut for the fries that allows for good ketchup pickup but overall nothing special about them. Sodas are all Jones soda which is kind of cool. Overall good and I will be back but will probably skip the fries and drink. read more

Great State Burger - Double combo - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The burger here is OK, but for $7 it seems a bit overpriced. The combos aren't actually a deal like at most other places because it's the same price as buying all the items separately. This place is like a marginally better Dick's Drive Inn but three times as expensive. read more

We frequently visit the UW campus and drive by this place all the time. We finally decided to stop by and try it out. It was okay (not great).... We tried a little bit of everything. I think the prices were a little high for the value. I had a lettuce bun cheeseburger; there was too much lettuce that over powered the small, thin hamburger patty. The fries were the stars of the show. They were pretty perfectly cooked and salted. If you decide to stop by, make sure you try the fries! read more

This burger joint was okay. 3.5 stars. Not the greatest, but it hit the spot. I was walking around all day sunday checking out apartments and had an hour or so break in between appointments. Didn't want to go too far out of the way so this was one of the few places that was open in the immediate area at the time and I really didn't feel like grabbing McDonald's. First thing I noticed when I took a bite was that it was very salty. Tasted like someone totally spaced out and threw a ton of salt on the patty. After a few more bites my taste buds adjusted to the surprise and enjoyed the "flavorful" burger. The fries were perfect - crispy, crunchy, not soggy and not too salty. I might be a little biased since they're crinkle cut. Love the simple menu. Love the bright, clean, spacious decor. Extra points for using all compostable packaging and having a decent sized outside seating area. But since this is a burger joint, I'm putting a lot of weight on the burger and it was not quite 4 stars unfortunately. I'd still choose to eat here again if my options were either this or McDonald's though. read more

The burgers here suffice in a pinch. I am seriously not a fan of American Cheese and since cheddar is not an option I reluctantly tried it, still not a fan. The crinkle fries are a good balance of crispy and soft on the inside but with a tad bit too much salt. I think the portion on a single was just right for a quick bite. Like that the service items are fully compostable. read more

Wow! Finally a nice "less expensive" burger restaurant in this area! Usually you have to either pick McDonald's or like a $25 burger at one of the restaurants around.

Burger is tasty - "fresh" I only spent like $6! Love it! read more

They keep it simple and there's nothing wrong with that. Once you take a look at menu, it's narrowed down to a few choices.

this is a solid burgo that keeps flair to a minimum and price to a median YAY IM A FAN -the burgers were so caloric that if set aflame billy joel wouldve written his song differently -the patties were stacked as if two wolves had climbed upon one another howling at a moon whose surface they yearned to touch -the french fries were ridged like the boundry lines on a lonely road designed to shake you awake in the dark of night (they also achieve the same purpsoe) COMPLAINT CORNER -the primenow menu was decidely minimalist with nary a milkshake to be found. this is primenow not an iPod get with it. if i wanted to drive a car to fetch a milkshake id re-live my own grandfather's brief life in the 1950s. -i felt cheated that the kids burger was not made from nor designed by goats but such is the state of advertising in america -the double left such a glob of excess cheese that i couldve made it into a controversial sculpture of andre the giant SUMMARY the observant shopper is left to wonder what "great state" we're meant to think of while we dine. the chow style makes me think california, but billy joel makes me think new york. either way it put me in the great state of mind to call my mother even when id rather text LESSON in school i earnt the nickname hungy boy dan but this afternoon i earnt the title sir and man read more
