    Spicy fish burger--one of their signature dishes!
    Tom L.

    Return visit to the Pigfish Cafe is always a treat for me, whether I'm returning home from the airport, awaiting routine car maintenance, or in this case, both. So good to be welcomed by Mario, the owner. Food was out in a jiffy, and smells soooooo good! Can't wait to dig in!

    Fish but mostly breading, chewy and bland

    Bummed we keep striking out here. The first time we went was awesome, and the back patio was a nice addition especially for families; now we've ordered a handful of times over the last few years and it seems like unless it's a burger something is just off. If you like a ton of breading that's gummy and chewy fish then you'll like the fish and chips, also most of the fries are basically all skin now. Burgers and crispy chicken still seem decent. We added coleslaw this time and it was flavored with horseradish which was not listed on the menu picker. Bummed and will likely go less often.

    Cheeseburger and Avocado Bacon Ranch Burger

    I have been going here for about 3+yrs and the food just keeps getting better. The portion sizes are worth the price, quick service and the food is always freshly made. It's quiet but cozy and the it's in downtown Burien so you can stop by and see other shops while you are there. Highly recommend trying it out if your near:)

    our fish looked like a salmon
    Steven N.

    We came here to try the fish & chips but didn't expect to be so delighted by the burger as well! If you love a crispy, fluffy batter, this is the place for you. We were impressed by how the fish stayed perfectly moist inside while delivering a satisfying crunch. We only got one piece for the fish and chips, but it was a hefty portion with a decent amount of fries. The pigfish burger seemed simple at first glance--just a classic burger on paper--but it had so many great layers: smoky bacon, a sturdy bun, a nice char, a well-seasoned patty, yummy cheese, and a delicious house aioli. Sometimes, a simple burger done right hits the spot best! We'll definitely be back--either to order these again or to try their rotating specials.

    Spicy Fish Sandwich with truffle fries upgrade. Fish tacos with garlic Asiago fries upgrade in the back
    Kathy N.

    I enjoyed coming here! The neighborhood and shop itself are very cute. I ordered the spicy fish sandwich which came with fries but I upgraded to truffle fries. My boyfriend got the fish tacos and upgraded his salad to garlic Asiago fries. The batter on the fish was suuuuper light and crispy. I marveled at how something fried could taste so light! Servings were also generous. Would definitely come back. Not much seating though. Only 2 booths, I think 2-3 tables, and some window seating. Not great for large crowds. Probably a party of 4 or less. I overhear: one of the workers say they make their own tartar sauce so that was cool. My only complaint was that the fries were incredibly oily. When we moved the paper boat the fries came in, there was a little puddle of oil and the paper was soaked through. Also didn't think the spicy fish sandwich was spicy.

    Best fish and chips I have had in a long time! The outside was crispy but the fish was still flaky and moist. They service was excellent and the patio is a beautiful spot for a beer and fries. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

    Enjoyed this hidden gem in the heart of burien. Fo not pass up on their food, their atmosphere and their amazing customer service and a spot that says comfort, enjoy.

    Spicy Fish

    Stopped in on a Friday night for dinner, just before 6p and it wasn't busy. Counter staff was friendly and patient as we looked over the menu. We settled on the Spicy Fish Burger and kids cheese burger meal. Spicy Fish was a crispy beer battered filet with spicy mayo on a crisp salty pickles bed. Cheese burger was pretty standard but my son appreciated the pickles being left on the side. You can never go wrong with fresh cut fries.. they were salted to perfection. All in all I would return and try something else on the menu, since there were several other options that looked appealing like the pastrami on rye or pigfish burger or caramelized onion burger.. all paired with hand cut fries feels like a win!

    Philly cheesesteak and truffle fries
    Gabriele E.

    I can't believe this was my first time trying pigfish. I had the Philly cheesesteak on a GF bun. It was delicious. My main complaint is that it was a little spicy, and the fries were just ok. I ordered it to go so maybe it would be better if I sat and ate it fresh. Overall super delicious!

    Fish Sandwich
    Peka G.

    My family and I love Pig Fish! The best fish sandwich I've ever had, honestly and truly! And I don't really like fish sandwiches like that and to even crave them but Pig Fish Cafe has made the one for me! Consistently delicious, a pretty big cut of beer battered rock fish fried to fluffy perfection, light and not too heavy. Dressed with a little veg and their house made tartar sauce on a warm brioche bun! If a fish sandwich would be decadent in all the right ways this one is! They also have great fish n chips, tacos, varieties of burgers/sandwiches, meals for kiddos and specials. The restaurant is small but very welcoming! They have a counter at the entrance window with 4 seats, three 2-4 seater booths, and a little patio out back that has a back yard vibe. You pay up front and they bring your meal to you. Customer service is always good and helpful. Like I said the best fish sandwich everrrr (in my opinion) go try for yourself!

    My family and I were starving after our flight into Seattle. I was craving sandwiches and my son was craving fries, so we were pretty excited to find Pigfish nearby on the Yelp app. Unfortunately, we felt that the restaurant did not live up to our expectations. The food was decent but not 5 stars good. The Pigfish Burger had really good ingredients. There was a super fatty (and super delicious) beef patty that was covered in heavy mayo sauce. The first few bites were really tasty, but you really needed something to balance out the fat over time. The Hot Pastrami had barely any pastrami and a lot of mustard, so the mustard over-powered the actually pastrami. As for the fries, we upgraded to the truffle fries for one of our dishes. I think it could have been a real star but the fries themselves were not very crispy. They felt like they could have used another minute or two in the fryer. The truffle flavor itself was really well done; not overwhelming but obviously there. Again, just a little more crisp and it would have been really special.

The fish was delicious, and the breading stayed crisp, and wasn't oily at all. A+ Fries, lightly seasoned, and even the slaw was good with just a light sweetness. Don't skip this spot! Small in-store dining area, and not busy at all on a Friday afternoon.

    This place was good! Service was wonderful and kind. There's only 3 tables that seat 2 and 2…read morecounters that seat maybe 2-3 each. For food, I got the special, which I would recommend. It came with 2 pieces of cod, fries or coleslaw (I chose coleslaw. It does NOT come with raisins which I was very pleased about), tartar sauce, a drink, and 3 prawns. Prawns were my favorite part of the meal. Perfectly cooked. Coleslaw was pretty good, a little sweet, and helped cut all the oil. Cod and prawns were crunchy and not overly oily. My bf got the 3 piece cod which came with fries. The fries were dry, which means they were probably over fried. Clam chowder was pretty darn good. Mac n cheese was good but ultimately it reminded me of the mac n cheese I'd eat as a kid from frozen TV dinners, which made me nostalgic so not sure how to feel. Think I saw someone else say the pasta was overcooked. I wouldn't say it's overcooked but it's not al dente either. Tartar sauce is not free here! 79 cents each. I would recommend TWO containers for 1 order. I got 1 serving of tartar, which came with the special, and it was not enough for 2 piece cod + 3 prawns. We ordered another 1 serving of tartar for my bf and it was not enough for his 3 piece cod either. Overall my bf and I both separately came to the conclusion that it feels "homemade". Like stuff a family would make at home.

The decor is humorous and pirate themed. The sandwich shop is on the small side, so large groups would find it hard to sit together. One unisex restroom.

Fidel Cash Flow: A rich and savory combination of braised pork belly, sliced ham, swiss cheese, dill pickle chips, fresh cilantro, plain mayo, and a spicy brown mustard on a telera roll (4/5). Served with your choice of sides (hand cut fries, waffle fries, chipotle mac salad, & jalapeño slaw). The sandwich size was a bit smaller than expected but it did come with a side. The bread was so soft and good. I also wish it had a bit more meat to enjoy. Otherwise, still a good tasting sandwich. Come support your local business.
