White Center Pride Street Festival gave me a chance to try this place again after having it before in Bellevue. Honestly, I don't remember much from that visit, so if that's the case then the food probably wasn't memorable in any way. I will say, this visit most certainly changed that! As mentioned, this was during the White Center Pride Street Festival on a Saturday evening around 7pm. The last bit of DEFY wrestling wrapped up, so my foodie friend and I wanted to load up on some good food before calling it a day. It's located on the same strip of street as Lariat Bar, Puffy Pandy and a bunch of other eateries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is a bunch of tables that need some bad wiping down, and those elementary school chairs with the metal bolts on the seats that always shock me when I touch them - also needed to be wiped down but weren't. Needless to say, i felt really icky while I was eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The inside also shares space with Zeek's Pizza and what looked like a small supermarket full of drinks. Drinks and water are self-serve. Menu serves a ton of burgers and sandwiches along with sides and drinks, and you place your order up at the front. For this visit, I got their Link Up burger, which was their special of the week on the week of June 6. This comes with Italian sausage, a beef patty, pepperoncini (basically hot chili peppers), smoked gouda, chimichurri sauce and garlic aioli all in their buns. The spice from the pepperoncini gave this burger one of the best kicks I've had in a long time! That's not factoring in the slight spicy but savory taste from the sausages, and the already flavor-rich beef patty. Chimichurri sauce is tangy and a little earthy which made my mouth water after having multiple bites. For my next visit to Lil Woody's - be it this location or any of their other ones - I'm eyeing The Fig and the Pig or the Trotter, and probably grabbing a side of fries with it too! read more

Worst burgers in the Seattle area. How do you put Tillamook cheese and bacon on a burger and still make it taste like shit? Meat is too lean and burnt. Try harder guys. $40 for two gross burgers and onion rings. Sigh. read more

I happened to be in the White Center neighborhood and decided to try Lil Woody's. The Beer Star and the Zeek's pizza on either sides of Lil Woody's helps drive business. There were about 6 tables. We chose to dine-in. I got the Big Woody with the basket fries. My wife got the weekly special. Tasty, filling and most importantly delicious. The staff was super helpful and answered all of our questions despite the orders pouring in and them having to multi-task. I will definitely go again to try their other burgers. read more

This place is the tried & true best place for quick eats that won't make you feel ill afterwards! No grease, only delicious

This is my favorite Lil Woody's location because it's attached to the cider bar next door, which has a plethora of drink options. Being able to grab a burger and then walk two steps for a solid drink lineup makes this spot hard to beat. S/o Marcus too. I'm determined to make a Scope Screenings collab burger for charity happen here in 2026. The burger does exactly what it needs to do. Juicy patty, melted cheese, crispy bacon, fresh tomato and onion, and the bun holds everything together. Fries are thin, crispy, and always on point. No gimmicks, just consistency. This location stays in rotation for a reason.and I've been to like 3-4 different locations and it's all great every time never had any issues with customer service either ppl are always nice esp at the cap hill one. Some times takes a sec but I mean it's fresh what u want them to do lol read more

I am always happy to go to a burger place that offers chicken( I gave up beef a few years ago). The burgers we know, are always a hit... the chicken I tried for the first time and it was amazing! The bread was pillow soft and the chicken was tender and juicy. I was able to add bbq sauce and cheddar cheese and it was perfection. I topped it off with a coffee almond fudge milkshake: my favorite ice cream as a shake was just heavenly. I shared a few of my daughter's fries, yummy with the fry sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is really spacious and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A good time atmosphere for families and groups of friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great and fast. read more

We stopped by to get food to go. We ordered the Pendleton burger, shake fries, and a root beer float. Everything was delicious! I do wish they still had Salted Caramel option for the shake fries - that was *chef's kiss*. The service was good, our orders arrived quickly. read more

Lil Woody's - Inside - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Maybe this is a spot that is better to go in person. Or maybe the main (?) restaurant in Cap Hill is the way to go. We ordered delivery and in spite of this being one of the fastest deliveries we've ever gotten, all of the food was cold. Honestly I don't know how that was even possible. Did the delivery driver use an ice truck? We had a very unpleasant impression that this food was cold before it left the restaurant. The fries were stale and cold. The burger was smooshed, boring, and cold. Bright spot, the veggie burger was quite good - but also cold. read more

Wanted a quick bite before my flight. The prices were very reasonable compared to everywhere else. Service was really quick, the burgers Al were great and the cheese fries were better than expected. I like that they didn't add the cheese in too if the fries so they wouldn't get soggy. The food was very fresh, burger was cooked perfectly and was very soft. I noticed and really liked that the pickles were chopped up like the onions. It gives it a better bite unlike when the pickle is sliced and you bite into the burger and the whole pickle comes out. Would eat here again. read more

Slooooooooooooooooow service. Do not order the "grab and go" if you don't have 30 minutes to waste waiting... and then food is cold. Not worth the $28.00 for two burgers and one fry. read more

We visited the White Center location for an event, I had not known about this location. There was a taproom attached with tons of beverage options, the attached eatery and a small retail area with some fun stuff. We imbibed on some wine, cider & beer options. The staff was happy to give us tasters if we were undecided. We also grabbed burgers & fries, cause why not! The fries seemed like an endless supply, not a bad thing. I ordered a fish burger (a special at the time) and it was delicious. Friends we were with got the green chile burger, which was also a hit! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun spot to hang out, grab drinks and have casual dinner fare.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A friend of mine who lives in Japan asked me if I knew Li'l Woody's. Because the first Li'l Woody's store from Seattle opened in Tokyo Shibuya. I didn't know Li'l Woody's so I stopped by today w my hubby. We ordered 2 of Li'l Woody Burgers and Onion Rings. Big onion rings are good. Li'l Woody burgers are little greases but not bad. I will try different burgers or sandwiches next time. read more

Definitely tell them to cook the burger medium and pickles on the side with cheese & was grr8

To be honest, I didn't actually want to eat anything here because I try not to indulge in too heavy/oily food. That being said, my partner wanted a burger and the pizza (for me) would take too long. I got the morning woody and they got the lil woody. Burger was fine...but that egg sandwich was out of this world. Tomato, two eggs, bacon, cheese AND house sauce, so good. I genuinely couldn't believe how amazing it was, flavorful, just the right amount of salt. Service was fine, they said 5-10 minutes and I would say it was pretty spot on. House cut fries were solid, no salt, queso was good too (was a bit thick) but overall tasted good. read more

We are moving to this community and this is one grandbaby's favorite burger joints. So they took me there for my first time. Cute and welcoming environment. The gentleman that waited on us was, warm and accommodating. Great customer service from taking our order to helping us with to go products. The burgers were amazing, fresh homestyle and yummy big basket of fries. We will definitely make this a regular treat for my family. I see why they love it and wanted me to experience it.

The collab was going on for the week and there was a chance that it may sell out. I gave the restaurant a call before heading out to see if they still had it in stock. The gentleman that answered said there's two left and that he could reserve it for me if I wanted. I didn't even know that was an option so I definitely asked to have one saved. This person went above and beyond for us! When we arrived, I let him know my name and that I had reserved one. My husband got the regular lil woody burger. When we got the order, the croissant bun actually wasn't put on so it had to be redone. Not a big deal, they added the bun on. If I'm being honest I'm giving this 5 star review based on the service. I wish there was more honey aioli. I ended up dipping this in our fry sauce. The croissant bun was really good though! Definitely the best part. Btw, their onion rings were really good - not too greasy or heavy. read more

Lil Woody's - Special burger of the week. Collar with Pastry project. Croissant bun with fried chicken, aioli, honey jam - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great food, Phenomenal service. The menu is diverse. I really like the shakes and the staff is very kind.

Great for just a classic cheeseburger. Their milkshakes are also so amazing!! I ordered to go, so things were a little messy. I had a GF bun and it was ok, fell apart a lot. I ordered fries on the side and they didn't put any ketchup in my bag overall a tasty burger though! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself is the spot especially for people watching but it's also very popular in the area so at peak times, it is hard to get a seat especially if you wanna sit at the beer side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burgers are consistently good but to me aren't the very best. Fries are good with the queso dip. Sometimes they do have burger of the month which is also pretty good. read more

This was a long overdue review. If I had to marry a chicken sandwich it'd be this one. I like how the bun didn't get too soggy after a while because I take forever to eat. Although the fries were not my favorite, I'd just prefer dipping the sandwich into Ranch (yummy !) read more

Having gone a past few times since my past review - I'm comfortable upping my review to 5 stars despite some short falls. The service is superb, such friendly and helpful staff and they make it a joy to visit. The burgers hit the spot, and I applaud the continuous creativity and partnerships to explore new burgers. That being said, sometimes the execution on some of them leave a little to be desired. For example, the Fig and Pig had a scoop of fig jam and scoop of blue cheese not distributed evenly and proportions were off. The fries continue to be a weak point for Li'l Woodys and always turn into a greasy pile of flaccid potato strips. Although the onion rings are solid and worth noting. Overall - it's worth a visit. And the restaurant is certainly casual where you bus your own table. As a plus it's next to a beer store where you can bring your meal and enjoy a beer with it there. read more

I'm not usually in this neighborhood but was craving a burger so I chose Li'l Woodys. Ordered The fig and pig, side of fries, Dutch chocolate shake and some fry sauce. The Fig and Pig - ordered without mayo and added grilled onions. Bun didn't hold up well to moisture so it was a little "damp". The flavoring is what I was looking for - sweet & savory get me all the time. Dutch chocolate shake - worth the $6! Real chocolate flavoring, thick and creamy. This is what a milkshake should taste like! Fry sauce - mustard heavy with a little spice. Good sauce but won't pay for the extra cost. Fries - nope! Limp fries don't do it for me. I like my fries crispy and no skins. read more

We ordered a Big Woody and The Trotter for dinner while grabbing a drink at Beer Star. These burgers are not very good and mediocre at best. There is no seasoning on the hamburger patties and it just tastes awful. The hand cut fries were soggy. It's a no for me and I won't be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good food, quick service and amazing atmosphere 10/10 would come back;[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burgers always hit the spot and the milkshakes are great, parking is a bit obnoxious but you do what you gotta do for a nice juicy burger read more

New fave local burger spot. Dethroned Zippys ever since they changed their buns. Food: I always build my own burger. I like that the burger is a good size, I don't feel hungry for more when I'm done. Also love that there's a lettuce wrap option when I'm being carb conscious. But more times than not I'll get bun which is actually one of my fave parts of this burger. I think it's brioche? It's just so tasty. Lastly I hate that you have to pay extra for sauce but that fry sauce is bomb. Atmosphere: hate the parking situation but once I'm inside I forget all about it. There's enough dine in chairs, is never crowded and is attached to a bar. Service: Seattle normal. Overall: this is where I go when I'm craving a burger in west Seattle. read more

Ever since this spot opened up, I've been wanting to go but everytime I think about a burger, I get a lil bit worried about that uncomfortable, bloated, heavy feeling after eating a burger. So one morning, after an hour long cardio i said, it'll be okay, let's get that burger! So, I got there a quarter after they've opened. Immediately noticed that the restaurant was clean and staff were at the register ready to take your order. After glancing up at their menu for a quick minute, I asked for the Lil' Woody and their onion rings. My usual go-to are fries but the server informed me their fries arent crispy. I'm definitely not a fan of soft fries! After ordering, I went to the self-serve soda machine. It was nice that there were so many options, unlike the old-school ones with just 5 sodas and a water. I decided to go with the Minute Maid pink lemonade, it was a nice change from the usual fizzy sodas. After about 5 minutes or so, my buzzer started going off. I walked over to the counter and got my tray of food. I took my 1st bite of the burger and was shocked! It wasnt the usual grease dripping burger I thought it would be. I had to unwrap the paper, so I can take a better look at it. Sure enough, the buns were still soft and fluffy; not soaked with fatty oil! I was immediately a fan! Now, on to the onion rings. I picked one up and it was still HOT! I took a bite and perfection! I hate it when the onion gets pulled out when you bite into it, but the onion rings here did not have that problem. One bite and the onion on each side of the bite, bit right off! Also, the ring itself was super crispy! Loved every bite. After eating the full meal, I didnt feel crappy at all as I would at some other burger joint. It was a much cleaner burger than most I've had. I was so happy with it, I actually came back a month later and this time, server told me that they can double fry the fries so it'll not be so "limp"! Haha.. so, I tried it this time and it was alright. It wasnt crispy the way I like it but it wasn't "limp", for sure! Overall, I really enjoyed their food here. I'd recommend coming here and giving it a shot, especially, if you're like me and just want a simple and not so heavy burger. read more

This place in the past has been hot or miss for us but: the fries are always super crispy and delicious and they give you a ton of them. This week they have a special with fried chicken and sliced mango and it was soooooo good I can't even tell you. It's called the island something. Gotta keep supporting your local business in this post-pandemic world where food service employees are hard to come by. Keep showing up for them, like we have been, and you'll end up with some amazing food and service like we did today! Really appreciate all the hard work and dedication. read more

Lil Woody's - Island burger with fried chicken and fresh sliced mango. Amazing!!!!! - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

They have definitely downgraded the burger patty here. They are now the smallest patty I've ever seen. Would compare to a dicks burger in size but 3 times the cost. What happened woodys? You used to have big juicy delicious burgers???? Trash! I feel ripped off paying 24$ for a burger and onion rings and a drink. I even went back up to the counter and asked if this was a mistake? There is nothing about this burger that makes it a BIG WOODY. Only thing big was the heaps of lettuce. More a salad burger than anything. The old burger pics accurately represent what they used to sell. Now it's sooooo thin and tiny. 1 star won't be back unless they go back to what made them in the beginning. read more

Me and my wife love coming here.... Never been disappointed by the food or the service. My go to is the Cap Hill Fried Chicken sandwich. Hand cut fries and real milk shakes. This isn't cheap fast food, this is real food! I love coming here! read more

Ambience was cool. Service was slow. She was new at the register. But she gave us free fries. Food was GREAT!!

I ordered the Fig burger with a few add ons. It was exactly the taste experience I was looking for! There was a perfectly balanced spicy and sweet combo. The patty itself was cooked well. Solid bun, though having had other buns before, I wish it were crispier. I ordered with a side of fries and the fries took my review down a star. Too thin, didn't retain their heat or shape. Not a good crunch. I baked and seasoned myself. Good value. Good pricing. read more

This place has been a go to of mine for some time now and I will say it has yet to disappoint. The staple burgers are delicious and encompasses a wide variety of flavors to ensure there is a burger that every one will love, and with an ever changing special burger of the week you are guaranteed to leave satisfied. The sides are the perfect size for sharing and are made fresh to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is great and the staff have always been friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parking can be a little difficult but for a burger this good in Seattle it's par for the course. I can't recommend Lil Woody's enough! read more

Great food, easy to step up and order. They're connected to Beer Star so it's easy to find a table, grab a beer and enjoy a meal. I had the Pyanggang fried chicken sandwich and it was DELISH. Would've taken pics if I could've put it down for 2 seconds but it was that good! read more

This is my first time getting Li'l Woody's. I ordered Chef Kenji Lopez-Alt's K2FC. I was super excited to try their burgers/sandwiches with the special event that they're hosting. It was probably the worst fried chicken sandwich I've ever had in the Seattle area. The chicken was super greasy, slightly burnt, and lacks flavor. I see the sauce but can't really taste it. The more I bite, the more disappointed I get. The French fries were absolutely terrible as well as it was super soggy and limp as well as lacking seasoning. Extremely disappointed for the entire experience and probably won't return in the future. read more

Good selection of specialty burgers. The regular lil woody burger is also a good choice. I recently tried the smoked out burger. It was delicious, with the Chipotle Mayo. However, the onion was not sliced it was a large chunk, like the onion was just sliced in half, and the whole half was on my burger. If there were sweet Pickles on the burger, it would have been excellent. We've had the fig and the pig burger, it's pretty good. It's definitely a specialty burger. We also have tried the pendleton. It's a typical burger w/ an onion ring, bbq sauce and cheese. It's pretty good. We are never really disappointed with the burgers. However, the malts lack the malt flavor for us. Overall, I'd recommend their burgers and fries are pretty decent. We share a basket between the two of us. read more

Everything was good. My mom and I went today, for the first time...we each got a build your own burger... mostly because I always like to taste the actual patty before diving into the specialties. So, I got a classic burger with bacon, American cheese, grilled onions and pickles...all which were a dollar extra. Mom got a bacon burger with pepper jack, we shared a basket of hand-cut fries, onion rings and split a chocolate shake. The guy was very nice, he brought out our shakes in separate cups, and brought our food to us, even though we had a little pager. The fries are amazing, the onion rings are good, but the burger had both raw onions and the grilled onions that I requested...that could have been my fault but we both had to scrape those off. I guess when we built our own burgers, we assumed that what we ordered would be all that was in it. After all of that, I we finally dug in and it was good...a little salty for my taste and again, too many spices in the patty, but my mom really enjoyed it...that being said, my mom over spices her burgers too. All in all, it was a great experience and we will definitely go again, I will probably have the chicken sandwich next time, though. read more

Buzzers don't work. Food sat on counter and got cold. Fries were undercooked. 1 of 4 diners at the restaurant at the time.

Excellent burgers and I recently discovered they have a decent selection of beers on tap....I've had the fig burger, the "fig and the pig" and it was very unique. Today I had "the trotter"...a wonderful burger! They are very generous with fries and they have excellent service. read more
