I'm updating my review after getting another pickup order from Otter, although, I always have intentions to go there. It has that small neighborhood feel that some other places in Eastlake have as well, and the community there is great. Anyway, I complained about my last order because the medium rare tasted a bit mushy and the lettuce was a bit more salad-ish and soft. This time i ordered the burger at medium and it made a big difference, also the lettuce was crisper as well. The bacon jam and braised onions are really flavorful, and the bun really adds to it as well - maybe an artisan potato bun. The sweet potato fries tasted fresh and flavorful. The food was ready for pickup promptly and the service, as always, was friendly. I was certain that I added a side sauce on the ordering page, but that wasn't reflected in the receipt, so I recommend double checking everything at the end. It's nice to have a reliable burger in the neighborhood. They also have other good food, I highly recommend the pork chile verde stew. I think the price is a little high on the burger and fries specifically, but cheaper than delivery - $8 less than my go-to delivery spot - and I was happy with the order. In the end I highly recommend giving Otter Bar and Burger a try! read more

Otter Bar And Burger - Build your own burger with bacon, charred onions and bacon jam. Side of fries. Was about $21. - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I gotta tell ya. Sometimes you just walk into a place and you instantly know it is your place. That is this place. I was instantly greeted by the husband-and-wife owners Jim and Lisa who were very engaging. The initial appearance is sports bar, but it is so much more than that as they pride themselves in being an all-inclusive establishment where there is something for everybody. While there are so many more types of food than what I ordered, I thought it was very unique that a generally American fare bar/restaurant would have Filipino Lumpia. To make a long story short I am well versed in this type of appetizer. Lisa knew the secret recipe as she was well versed as well. They were fantastic. I will 100% go back here and try the burgers and wings that they feature. Terrific experience. read more

Otter Bar And Burger - Pork Lumpia. Delicious. - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went here after a flight from Las Vegas and it's a cool little spot with some sports flags hanging all over the walls. The Bartender basically ran the joint but it was after 9 pm so they probably didn't need any servers. I got the Fish and Chips and the presentation was great, but I just wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor. It wasn't bad it just wasn't great, just slightly above average. Overall 3 Stars. read more

The food was good, not mind blowing, but definitely all tasty. The drinks were good but perhaps too sweet. The service was good and they had lots of games on the TVs. You can even bring your dog! Very chill ambiance and lots of folks were just hanging out and cheering for their team. read more

Was craving a burger/sandwich and found this spot after playing an hour of racquetball. Was not expecting much but the food was soooo good!!! The happy hour wings were literally fire! Cooked to perfection on the inside and crispy outside. The French dip was also very solid! 9/10! Would highly recommend esp since they have a big happy hour menu!! read more

Came for breakfast and the chicken fried steak. Was excited when it was on the menu and tried it a few weeks ago. Came back today and was sadly disappointed. Chicken fried steak was $20 on the menu and looked like this, and yes, it does taste like something you microwaved or got frozen. Being from the Deep South, we take our Chicken fried steak seriously and have made it a point to try known restaurants who offer it. This was not worth $20 not including tip and tax. Outdoor seating is near the waste and recycling with many standing or taking smoke breaks. The 25ft smoke ordnance for WA doesn't seem to be in effect here. Eastlake doesn't have a lot of options for breakfast and it wouldn't be worth a trek for this. Grand central is a few blocks away and Portage Bay is down the way with a nice, shaded outdoor seating area. Pros: Customer service is always lovely Cons: overpriced food for subpar quality with smoking being a part of the ambience read more

Good healthy sized burgers and sandwiches. The Otter Bar is a neighborhood sports bar that is dog friendly. My dog didn't want to leave. Good happy hour prices as well read more

I've ordered to-go several burgers and their nacho tots and have never regretted ordering here. Their food is always fresh and yummy, and a friendly staff member is always immediately available when I go in to pick it up. I'm not a bar person, but if I were to go into a place to watch a game or grab some bar food with a friend, the atmosphere here is classic bar style without the downsides. It's always clean and organized, without being sterile. I recommend Otter Bar for anyone in the mood for a quick bite of classic American food with a twist in the Eastlake area. read more

This is a review for Otter Bar and Burger four months ago during the Seattle Restaurant Month dining campaign (4/22/21, posted 8/22/21). Remains as 3 stars, but an added star for surviving the pandemic. The Homie and I decided their multi-part menu entrees piqued interest. Finding street parking and getting seated was easy enough, but placing our order took quite awhile. But once completed, our shakes, burgers, fries, salad, soup, and other components came from the kitchen shortly thereafter and made for a generous spread, with some boxed up. Great spot with varied menu, bar, indoor/outdoor seating. I just don't frequent the Eastlake neighborhood often enough to make it part of a favorite rotation. read more

I ordered from this place quite often because it's convenient (I live in the area) and the portions were worth the price. This time around, I ordered my usual Togo - the Mac and cheese and the wings. The Mac and cheese (mind you it's $14) came in a little side container and the container was only 3/4 full if that. I have previously ordered and received 2 containers in the past, but supposedly this is normal for their entree which is outrageous for $14. It's literally a side of Mac n cheese. Normally the wings are really great here and I would recommend. This time I received wings with feathers in them, which ultimately ruined my appetite. How do you not catch this at any point before serving to your customers? Truly disappointing, can no longer recommend this place. Update: Yes we may have spoke and you may have offered a refund to rectify the issue, however that doesn't change my experience which was still negative. And although this may be my first time ordering from your restaurant off of the Uber app itself, it's not my first time ordering from your restaurant. I literally live in the neighborhood and frequent every restaurant, bakery and coffee shop within a 1 mile radius. I don't appreciate the condescension nor the insinuation that I've never ordered from you guys before this when I have. It's just plain rude. I went ahead and uploaded the other photo which still shows exactly what I said, the container was 3/4 full. Which you yourself said you would have liked it to be a little fuller, yet you also said you checked the order before it went out. And I also want to point out it was more than just a single feather, it was at least 4-6, which had been tossed with the other wings and quite frankly unsanitary and disgusting. You can very clearly see that in the photo, so for you to downplay it doesn't make this any better. Not to mention the fact that it was sitting on top of all the other wings - so again, how do you not notice that even when boxing the order? I don't know about you, but I prefer to have my wings without feathers at all. read more

seattle trip day one and looking for food after long day of traveling. otter bar was an excellent choice for our first night, and truly a spot to go if you want good food. the server was incredible and made sure to help us in any way we needed. the place itself is super lively and colorful. very friendly to lgbtqia+. the food itself was delicious across the board. the otter tots are massive and fairly priced for the amount of food you get. my friends got the grilled chicken wrap and lamb burger to which they both enjoyed throughly. prices were teetering on pricey, but that's coming from someone who lives in nebraska. overall would recommend read more

This establishment was recommended to me by a local and I absolutely wanted to try it. Upon entering, the vibe was very chill which I loved. It was not crowded yet and I got to choose where I sat. So far so good! I decided to try the hibiscus margarita which was just beautifully presented and equally delicious! Very tasty and refreshing! So much so that I had two! Shhhh! Since I was having margaritas to drink, I opted to go the Mexican route and get the grilled chicken quesadilla. Yum! Perfection! I got to meet the owners Jim and Lisa and they were really fun to talk to! I love it when business owners are hands on and it's great to support local small businesses! They run a great place. Lots of drink options and food options. I get the feeling everything here is quite tasty! If in Seattle, drop by and tell them Cheryl sent you! You will be glad you did! read more

I love the wraps and the fish & chips here and it's a great option in the eastlake neighborhood! Service is great as well and nice to have the outdoor option. Only 4/5 stars because for $23 I think we should be getting more than 10-12 tator tots with the wrap. read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 5:30 pm and found that all tables were empty but the bar tops were full! Was looking for a sit down burger spot and this one came up. We got the Lisa's hot mess and the build your own burger - These burgers were delicious perfectly cooked and juicy! I loved the fries that came with the burgers they were large and fresh and I didn't find any small un-edible crispy bits. I would not have thought that peanut butter, bbq sauce, egg and bacon would go well together but they shockingly do! The service was fast and friendly and we were in and out within the hour :) I have been searching for a solid burger for a while and we cant wait to come back. read more

Called the other day for a takeout order. ETA was 15-20 minutes. It was ready when I got there. Ordered a ruben on a gluten free bun with fries. It was amazing!

Can't speak to the food or the drinks but the service is excellent. One of my car tires blew and the other got a hole from construction debris on Eastlake. I was stressed and pulled over as soon as I could. The owner came out to help and changed one of the tires for me. Really nice guy. We need more people like him in the world. So if you need a tire change or just a general pick me up, head to Otter Bar! read more

You may have thought you were here for a burger and fries... Turns out you stayed for most of the night and met some new friends. Otter turns out to be one of the 'local' hangouts for the funky Eastlake neighborhood. The owners are here. They're friendly. The locals are here. They're friendly. The food is good... almost as good as the company. If that isn't enough, try the monthly Real Queens of Eastlake drag show, or trivia on Tuesdays. Huge back deck. Clean bathrooms. Dog friendly. Sports aware. Parking in back... eh' hem... You're welcome. read more

A group of 6 friends and I came to Otter Bar and Burger after Saturday morning kayaking around Lake Union. We were so hungry and in the mood for a juicy burger and fries. We came around 12:30pm and there were only a few people in the restaurant and one server. The menu is filled with beach shack vibes serving all different types of burgers, sandwiches and even fish tacos! Service was very slow. It took a while to get our orders in and for the food to come out. We also had to walk up the cashier to pay. Because there was only one server for the whole restaurant, paying took a while as well. Monterey Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries: I was a little disappointed with the chicken sandwich. For $13, the sandwich looked like something I could have made at home and didn't have much flavor to it. I love avocados on sandwiches, but I thought this one didn't make a difference. On the upside, the chicken was very juicy and cooked well. The sweet potato fries were not that crispy but had a strong sweet potato flavor. Sweet potato fries were also an extra $1.50 but compared to the regular fries, it was worth it. The regular fries were too plain and salty for my liking. I finished my meal still feeling a little hungry. Overall, lunch was alright at the Otter Bar and Burger. I would be interested to try some of their specials ($10 burger, fries and tall boys on Mondays) other time, but won't be back for a regular meal. read more

Ive been here a few times, good vibes. The food is okay, ive tried the nachos which were just okay, the cuban sandwich which was good but my go to is their Cheeseburger paired with their fries which are also super good w ranch to dip(good/homemade ranch). I did get a cucumber smash alcoholic drink one time and it was awful, tasted like simple syrup and smirnoff vodka... But overall I enjoy this place since it's close by and the servers are always welcoming and kind. read more

Otter Burger was fantastic! One of the best Gourmet burgers around. The ambiance is great, very warm, fun and welcoming. They also offer a pretty sweet patio in the back if you want to sit outside. The onion rings were perfect cooked, the breeding was delicious. The wings Sweet Thai sauce was very taste. The burgers are juicy and packed with flavor! You can have one of their pre made famous creations or you can build your own burger. They have so many cool options. You can get things as simple as Mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Or you can go crazy and add bacon or pineapple flavor jams, ghost pepper, and much more! They are very covid safe from what I've seen. Thanks for the great time Otter Burger. We will be back soon! - Colter read more

The place itself is decent - fairly standard bar, though cleaner than usual and nicer bathrooms, with a patio area. The owners were nice, but service was very slow. It took probably 30 mins for my burger to come out and it was hard to flag down wait staff. My burger was very standard, nothing special to write home about but tasted ok. The fries were pretty gnarly - half cooked. My friend had a Caesar salad and it was a pretty embarrassing representation of what that dish should have been. Our humus appetizer was a mixed bag - the humus itself was probably the most tasty dish we ordered but came with one small (very dried out) flatbread and some veggies. We didn't have enough things to dip into it to finish it. Overall, would come back for a gathering but would go elsewhere for food. Too many good places in the area to eat here unless in a pinch. read more

The name made it seem modern - the inside was not. No one to greet you had to go to the bar to pick up my online order. I may have ordered incorrectly got the onion rings which were ok - heavily breaded w a little onion and the veggie lumpia. Maybe I should have ordered the burger? Given I was taking it across town wasn't sure a burger would hold up. Not sure why there was Filipino food on the menu when it was NOT like the Filipino places I've been to in LA. Since I was in the area for a dr appt it was the closest place around - doubtful I will return read more

After much Yelp searching we finally decided on the Otter. We were craving a burger/fish and this place had both. We were a bit suspicious as it wasn't super busy on a Saturday night, but we gave it a go. And now I want to let everyone know to come here and help this business gain some momentum. The food was delicious!! Coconut prawns had us begging for more. Mac and cheese is one of my favorites...so I'm very particular, and it was up to par here! Very good quality. My only hinderance with this spot is the "vibe" I guess you could say. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE OTTERS! Buuttt for a dinner/bar environment it is slightly childish. The muriel on the wall makes you feel a tad bit like you can't let loose and enjoy beers and a football game. I think otters can be done in a cool, fun, unique way...but they've just kinda missed the mark for me. Food wise though...I would definitely recommend. read more

Great burger. Nice sports bar with a college vibe. I do recommend going here for game day and good food. 8 out of 10.

Great happy hour with a cool vibe. Each night hosts different things from trivia to drag shows to ..... well just call before you go or visit their website. I recommend their Steak Street Tacos. However, the price on the menu ($4) is not the price when you get billed ($6) so please fix that if anyone from the staff sees this review and be aware of that if you choose the street yacos for happy hour.

I love the Otter Bar And Burger!! I've been here several times. Delicious food, excellent host in Lisa, the owner, and I love the bar/restaurant feel. I love the patio, the indoor bar, and restaurant areas as I've been to all. I've helped host a party here, been here with friends for drinks and painting, came to the brunch with the ladies (drag queens), and ate with friends and their children. It's a great neighborhood joint where anyone can enjoy. It's also a great place to get food to go. They have all kinds of beer choices and a full bar and the ambience feels like 'Cheers' and you're always welcome!! Highly recommended!! read more

10/10. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. Overall a great atmosphere and amazing happy hours!

I have tried so many times since they opened to give this place a chance, and every single time I am met with worse food and even worse service than before. I don't know how they are still in business. When you initially walk in, the first thing you notice is how few patrons there are. Okay fine, not every place is going to be full all the time. But believe me, I have tried both on Friday nights and Saturday nights. It's a ghost town. Then, for being a bar, I've seen an actual bartender I think twice. Whoever is around (?) seems to be the one responsible for drinks, and I have seen this system of theirs fail miserably each time I visited because either the server is doing everything or the bartender refuses to acknowledge anyone not sitting at the bar. The couple of times there WAS a bartender, she could NOT be bothered to leave her post to help me when I had stood waiting at the counter for ten minutes -- I am not exaggerating. At one point, one of the times I actually asked her if she could take my to-go order and she flat out said no and that someone would be there to help me. That didn't happen for several more minutes. I just left. I have had to just leave more than once. One thing to note about what makes this establishment one of the most unprofessionally run businesses I have ever seen is how the back of house or cooks and servers are ALWAYS yelling at each other, complaining loudly, or speaking poorly about customers. I have personally witnessed them calling customers stupid or declaring the customers were wrong about whatever, directly in front of other customers. They are all always angry or have the worst attitudes I've witnessed in this type of setting. I wish this was an exaggeration, but again, it's happened every single visit without fail. The last visit is what made me never want to go back. I walked in, to an almost empty dining room, but I did see a server at the counter so I had some hope. I asked him for two milkshakes, which he had to ask me to remind him twice. He was so distracted by whatever he was angry about that he couldn't remember what I just ordered. He never rung it up. Instead, I watched him close out 7 tabs, without ever looking at me once to let me know it would be a minute. He proceeded to have a heated discussion with a cook, who also came out to complain directly in front of me, and still never gave me a heads up as to what was going on. After 15 minutes of watching everyone lose their minds, he started my milkshakes but was visibly extremely annoyed by it. They were the worst milkshakes I've ever had. I watched him basically throw the cups when he started, because I was very clearly inconveniencing him to a point where all his professionalism simply disappeared. I get they are understaffed, as I can see that, but I am not a punching bag. I am a paying customer. They should staff more appropriately instead of keep people on that hate their job, which ultimately will make them lose more business. The service is the worst in Seattle. The food is extremely inconsistent. The atmosphere is chaotic and stressful even when there are so few people to serve. I cannot explain how truly horrible Otter is because words just don't describe my immeasurable disappointment with what was supposed to an awesome local spot. I have given it way too many chances. It never got better, it got worse. In this climate ESPECIALLY, that is just unacceptable. Don't waste your money here. read more
