Tried Herfy's for the first time after living in the area all my life (almost fifty years)! So happy we did. We've been looking for a new burger joint and this place doesn't disappoint. Staff is kind and the food is made fast! Been back several times in a month for their bacon cheeseburger which is super fresh and their crinkle fries which are like Ezell's - huge portions and not salted...just the way i like. Their shakes are amazing too - taste just like Dick's shakes. Their strawberry shakes have actual strawberry pieces in them - definitely my fav. Also, tried their fish and chips which were also very good as well. Glad we took a flyer on this place which is now part of our food rolodex. read more

Great for before or after the Flight Museum! Found Herfy's looking for something to eat before going to the flight museum and I was not disappointed by this burger joint. Once inside you can definitely tell Herfy's has been apart of the community with all of the local fliers up. While maintaining an older aesthetic. I would definitely go again, to get a burger. read more

Yes I said it 5 stars! It's been a bit since I have had lunch here. We'll it did not disappoint! I have worked in Gerogetown for over 40 years have seen em come and go. Have seen new owners mess things up. This place is still SOLID! It is clean the lady behind the counter was super friendly and eagerly waiting to help us. Today we just had a single cheese burger with bacon, sans the onions!! It was cooked and assembled to perfection. Bun was soft, meat was cooked perfectly for me (just a hint of pink), I know not for everyone! Bacon was done nicely as well. I asked if they still had their house made fry sauce and was told it's on the table. Then I was asked if we wanted it on the burger? What!!! Yea of course!! The crinkle frys were don just on the crisp side. They held the fry sauce nicely. Did I mention they have fry sauce?! Anyway give it a try if you are in the area. Oh and be sure to check out all of the posters on the wall. They are playbills of up and coming performances in the greater Seattle area. Nice touch! Someone once said "I'll be back"! read more

I stopped at Herfy's for the first time just now because I was out and about, and super hungry. The cod burger I got was fresh and delicious! Fried perfectly (not too much coating, but still crunchy) and the fish tasted fresh. I wish I had taken a picture, but it was really very good. Yum read more

Always friendly workers and good burgers. I can't complain about a true working persons burger joint. Have tried the fish and chips as well as milkshakes. They did not disappoint. No loud blaring music, the interior is a bit "worn," but that is also a bit of the charm too. read more

Unassuming casual burger joint with a less than savory ambience, but there's one guy taking care of everything, and he is quick! These fries are AWESOME! read more

Ordered Doordash today. Nothing to really write home about it. Got the bacon cheeseburger combo and the fries. My husband got a grilled cheese. I also got a chocolate shake which I thought they were going to put whipped cream on, but didn't. Overall, everything was okay but I don't think I'll order from them again. read more

Herfy's Burgers - #2 2. Double Cheeseburger Combo - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ok so herfys has always since I was a little kid been the go to spot for a burger and they were always so delicious with ones for above them which that was Dags burgers and there are no longer any place in the world any Dags burgers so this and Dicks are now the go to joint for the best burgers in town and also shakes as well. But I can't lie.. herfys when I was younger traded 100% better than they now do. Just not once that can lie. I'm sorry but even with that being said they are still great burgers right there underneath our one and only DICK'S BURGERS AND NOBODY CAN OUT DO THEM BUT THIS PLACE IS # 2 FOR YOU SO YES I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS.. read more

Moved to Seattle and haven't found a good burger like we have in California but this place did not disappoint me! I ordered the double cheeseburger add bacon with Onion rings. It came with a drink including one ranch as well. Paid less than 15 bucks for the meal which was awesome. The cashier was kind and rang up very quickly. I took my food to go but the dining room was clean and had AC. 10/10. read more

Stopped in for lunch and order the hot and spicy chicken sandwich with fries. honestly the sandwich was probably the worst item I have ever received from a restaurant the chicken was thin dried out and old as if it was cooked days before and reused. I cannot understand why this restaurant would serve something this poor. The french fries were hot and fresh read more

Disgusting. Pre cooked cheap skinny patties and a cheap bun. Am pm has better burgers than this

Used to b my go to place but not now,,,$48,,4 2 burgers and a med shake,,,ouch,,,won't b back,,

The cook and cashier were NOT wearing masks, the double cheeseburger was bland and overcooked, the bun was sticky, the fried mushrooms were nearly burned and smelled of very, very old fry oil. It's a shame, really. This burger place has fallen from grace; I visited often four or five years ago, but it has really dropped in quality. That said, the server was good and the food was quickly spit out...bad analogy, I know..especially in these times. read more

I had to leave a review! This burger joint is top notch! Everything about the burger was right! Outstanding flavor,very large menu with plenty of options. Extremely courteous staff. I will definitely make this my regular go to. Highly recommend it to you. read more

The Elderly man is super nice and friendly, food is delicious such a underrated spot.

CONFESSION I've gotten jaded. I can't believe I'm an American actually WANTING to review a burger joint and quintessentially American junk food. But I can't find any tidbits or niggles to lower the score to 4.9 stars instead of full marks and it's well-earned. The quality has shocked me into writing. PRELUDE While I waited- no line - just normal custom-cooking time I discover, I was watching a Korean 20-something food hostess devour 40-50 plates of sashimi and sushi from a conveyor belt at a fast-sushi place. I couldn't believe how much she gorges and with each dish saying (English subtitles beneath the Korean characters) "This tastes good, too!" Then she next visits a tuna pen by the ocean (Japan?) and they catch a 300 pounder and prepare it for her up on a misty hillside where she gorges on HUGE chunks of tuna that are so big they don't fit into her mouth until she chews some. They serve more and more; hundreds of pieces, and parts never seen in a restaurant, like the special chunk below the tuna's eye, and the navel, intestine fat, etc. Then they sear some chunks for her. Then they make poké bowls of some pieces. I marveled at her very average size and continuously smiley chewing. Her cheeks, like Louis Armstrong, bulge with the influx. Discriminating taste, no; shoveling in the flesh like a football lineman, stunningly so. Suddenly my food is ready and I'm in for a surprise. ARIA I had tourist sticker shock at $14.71 for a double cheeseburger and smallest ("Medium") fries. I was hungry when I entered yet, as it turned out, I couldn't finish my food. Thanks btw, Yelp! The burger patties were way bigger than expected (never seen wider) so the double was huge and soooo hot off the grill. And the piled-on fries shame the 5 Guys gimmick of spilling fries out of a small cup into your bag like you're getting a steal. I could NOT have had fresher, tastier, more neatly presented, fries, nor burger, had I done it myself - the oil was fresh and the fries perfectly light, yummy, and hot right out of the very clean fryer. The double cheeseburger was about thrice the size of a 'big' burger from McDgerKing-like places. It wasn't classic fast food speed but the food was top-notch cooking and not slow, just properly on time. Both fries and burger were perfect. Perfect. I can't believe I have to say it but they were. So Herfy's deserves Michelin acclaim in my book. I'll be back but sharing the food next time...so I can squeeze a milkshake in :). Wow do I want to take a crack at that when I have some space in me! read more

Double Cheeser and fries was what I ordered up for my first Herfy's experience. The burger was large and in charge. I had to do work to try and put this monster down. At the end I regretted the double beef patty as a beef hangover was setting in quickly. The crinkle cut french fries could not have been anymore perfectly cooked. I wanted to go back and give the fry cook a hug and good game butt slap. They were bomb! The menu has other choices versus just burgs, like fish and chips, phillies, milkshakes, and much more. Do yourself a favor and go getcha some crinkle cut fries and dip em in some good ole fry sauce! read more

Great burgers, enjoyed their burgers twice and both times it was really good. I think I found the best burger spot in town.

I love getting my fav burger, fries, and fry sauce as my guilty pleasure. Walked in today with my mask on to place my order "To Go". As fast as I walked in, I walked out. Staff was not wearing mask and neither were the two guests standing at the order counter. Just didn't feel safe or that they cared. So disappointed. I will go back, but not soon. read more

One of my favorite burger places in Seattle. Food is always high quality and you get a lot for your money.

Meat is dry I don't understand how a burger place can't cook burgers the fries have no patata in them just crunch, the milk shakes are the best part and it's only because they don't have to cook it. Used to be so good when I was a kid I don't know what happened but I wouldn't go hear if it was the last place to eat read more

Herfy's Burgers - Most dry burger I have ever had it's disgusting - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Herfy's use too be great! All were Charbroiled 1/3 pound patty burgers. Today every Herfy's is different, not the same at each restaurant. The one Charbroiled Herfy's in fife uses skinny patties and more lettuce than beef and now the Georgetown location is just straight fried griddle burger. Sprite was good and the bacon on the burger was good. read more

Disgusting. Made the mistake of getting fish & chips at a burger joint. Not sure what type of fish their frying up here, but it was slimy and looked like a bottom feeder fillet. Gray, definitely was never a white fish, cod, not even a nasty farm raised tilapia. As soon as I broke one open and saw it I was out $12 bucks. Fries were all I had for lunch this day. Oh well, the tarter sauce was good. If there is a corporate office or if the city grades restaurants in this part of town go investigate. Later. read more

Visited three times over a month period. Saw a large number of ants near the sofa machines all three times. Can't eat here anymore. Sad because I did like their food. read more

Great food and very good shakes. I've gone to this location for many years, since 2004. They have employee turnover but the food seems to stay the same. I've also been at multiple other location and they all are great. Can't say I've had a bad experience in all the years. read more

Food was excellent. However, I gave the place one star b/c as a woman approaching 50, I could tell that the man running the place did not give nearly as good service to me or other women as he did the men and that did not sit well with me. He greeted and double thanked all the men and the woman got nothing. read more

Oh man, if you like your milkshakes to be runny and artificial... this is the place for you! Not only do they completely skip the slight solidification needed in the makings of a quality shake, but they do so with this sly little smile that says, "Hey buddy. I accidentally milked the 'other' udder on a bull to make this delicacy. So enjoy!" And I say that because the vanilla shake that I received just the udder day (Get it? I replaced other with udder to sound funny!) tasted a bit... off. The crinkle fries are your basic freezer special and the meat on the hamburger looks like my Nana's varicose veins. I'm giving this location two stars because I loved my Nana and anytime that I'm reminded of her, I must give that place a +1. ** Pours out some milkshake. No... not for my homies, but just because it tastes funny. ** read more

I only had a shake, so my experience was a bit limited. However, there was a guy moaning as he ate his burger, so I am guessing they are pretty good. Chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry? NOT here! There are a TON of flavors. I had chocolate Oreo; I considered chocolate Oreo cherry- didn't get it, could have, and that's the point. The flavor selection is massively awesome, and that sets Herfy's apart from many faster food restaurants. The shake itself had a great consistency- it wasn't too thick or too runny. A good shake should take just a little bit of effort to get it through the straw, but not too much. Herfy's did this well. The only reason I can't do 5 stars is because I think it was just a little pricey, but it wasn't unreasonable. I am confident I will be enjoying another frosty treat, even if I don't moan while I consume it like Burger Guy. read more

Good burger joint. Burger was good - big portion, couldn't finish it. The fresh crinkle fries were delicious! Would go back but would get something other than the classic cheese burger. The lady behind the till was very nice - service was very fast. read more

This is a bit retro in name only. My family and I use to frequent this original local Seattle chain back in the 70's, does anyone remember their Wacky Pack? The original kid meal, back in the day.... These are popping up all over the greater Seattle area, I've visited the one in Lynnwood, WA about 3 times they have a ton of seating. The Georgetown location has a fair amount of seating and I have visited about 3-4 times. The GT one tends to be the better of the two locations I have been to. Mainly because they take care of their frying oil and do not mix frying the seafood in the same oil as the fries and onion rings. This is a big NO-NO!! Frying seafood in oil fryers flavors the oil and if you put french fries into that same oil, you get fishy flavored fries!! YUCK!!! Anyway, the Georgetown group either watches what oil fryer they are using for seafood or they change out their oil more frequently. Their fries are served up hot and fresh. I use their "secret" sauce to dip my fries, the sauce looks and tastes much like mayo and catchup.... YUMMY! The menu is huge, well varied I should say, from Teriyaki to burgers, and fried seafood. Stick with the burgers, i.e. chicken or beef, the Teriyaki is sickeningly sweet and the sauce is dumped on the same grilled chicken they use in the chicken burger, hence the Teriyaki is just sauce tossed over grilled chicken, IMO, not the proper way to do Teriyaki. I will say this the portions are nice sized for this dish. Order a burger combo meal, you get fries and a drink, better yet upgrade and order a milk shake!! The shakes are made with softserve ice cream and are to die for!! Plenty of milk shake choices, but I'll stick with the strawberry or chocolate, yummy!!! read more

You want a tasty cheeseburger, shake, and fries? Remember the name Herfy's and get acquainted with it real soon. Herfy's has a great menu that serves everything from burgers, to seafood, to teriyaki. The burgers are huge but you can get a smaller size like the ranch burger. All the years I've been going to this place I've only had a milkshake once and it brings the boys to the yard tenfold. Very tasty. There are a TON of flavors to chose from. Herfy's serves my most favorite fries on the planet: crinkle fries. And they are always good. No matter when I get them they come fresh, hot, and in abundance. There was a few months there when they were serving breakfast but that came to an end. They have a great "fry" sauce that I think is a mix of sauces with thousand island thrown in. Its a funky light orange color but its so good with the fabulous fries. Herfy's is a bit small so depending on when you go it can get packed. Definitely avoid it during lunch hour unless you are smart and call in your order. read more

Mistake on my part - I should've tried a burger since it's Herfy's... Came here for lunch and oddly, I wasn't craving a burger so I got the Hot wings and fries combo instead.... The crinkled cut fries - (my favorite) were good, of course... especially with the fry sauce (which I appreciate them much for having as an option).... The hot wings.... well, let's just say... they taste quite familiar.... like the foster farm chicken out of the bag... Now, don't get me wrong... those are pretty good... but when you order from elsewhere and they serve THAT to you... the way it tastes is completely altered. It's like going to a restaurant and ordering waffles and they bring you two pieces of Eggos. LOL. I guess I didn't expect Herfy's to be life-changing anyway... so I'm not THAT disappointed...I wouldn't mind going back and trying a burger though... read more

The best thing about this place is the shakes. If you are around 1st and Michigan, just head east a few blocks. I/ve had the burgers (Great), the fish and chips (Great), and a number of the shakes(Wonderful). The walls are lined with a number of interesting posters for different (Mostly theater) performances. The place is pretty clean (For a mom and pop shop) and the service has always been fast and friendly. read more
