    Me enjoying a Seahawks game after a delicious burger from Smokey's Char Broiled!!
    Lorin S.

    I've eaten burgers on that corner for many many years! Like when it was Arctic Circle way back early 1970's the The Dew Drive In and eventually Smokey's!! I stayed away for a spell because the burgers changed and became inconsistent and some burgers were just bad... But I decided to try them out again and WOW! What a terrific experience in delicious! The burgers taste great again!! I've eaten there 3 times in the last week!!! The cheese sticks are amazing the burgers are BURGERLICIOUS!!! Thanks for grabbing me back Smokey's! See you soon! Your BIG FAN, Big Lo! Seattle SuperFan!!

    Greasy and expensive. The fish sandwich was heavily breaded and gray in parts. The onion rings was so oily I couldn't taste the onion.

    The fish sandwich was heavily breaded and the fish was gray in parts. The onion rings were so greasy I couldn't taste the onion. Service was blah. No personality.

    Hamburger with everything. It may not be pretty, but it's GORGEOUS to the taste-buds.

    This is the type of tiny local business that I LIVE FOR. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. My visit order: - Shrimp & chips. - Hamburger with everything. - Banana shake. Took less than the 10 minute wait, they said, for my order to be ready. The food was HOT and FRESH! The shrimp was SPECTACULAR with cocktail sauce. The burger disappeared. Not sure where it went. It was just TOO DELICIOUS to exist outside my belly for long. The banana shake? THICK and heavenly. Bring a BOBA STRAW. Their straws WILL NOT WORK. Krinkle cut fries were meaty and perfectly salted. I'm not usually a fan of krinkle cut, but they were quite good! I need to re-visit to try their fish & chips, and chicken sandwich!

    Pieces of steel wool in my bacon cheeseburger today, 3/15/2024.

    I have been a customer for years, and today I picked pieces of steel wool out of my mouth while eating a bacon cheeseburger from Smokey's. That plus the health department rating this place as unclean is a wrap for me. If they decide to clean the place and the health department rates their cleanliness as great, then I will consider returning. Otherwise, there are plenty of other places to eat that take cleanliness seriously.

    Ordered today on a whim and I'm glad I did. I walked in to pick up my food and was immediately…read moregreeted by both a friendly staff member and a welcoming, clean space. There appeared to be kiosks for ordering (I had ordered online earlier) and ample seating for dining in or waiting. I didn't stray much past the counter as my order ready to go by the time I'd gotten there. I got the 1/3lb Cheeseburger and Fries. While the burger wasn't seasoned as well as I'd have liked, the toppings were all plentiful and fresh and the fries were some of the best I've had. The amount of food was not disappointing, either. Overall, I'd consider this a great place to be my new go-to and will be back soon.

    I heard about this place from friends. Nice little hole in the wall in Burien inside a strip mall…read more Nothing fancy here, but was looking forward to the burgers. They had many options including chicken and fish. The burgers are offered in 1/4 or 1/3 pound. For our first time here I decided on the basic cheeseburger. Looked great when we got it. Nice looking bun with very fresh vegetables. Thousand island ish is there special sauce. A bit more ketchup forward, but good. Overall the burger was fresh and delicious. Ate very bite. The fries were also very good with some light seasoning. You can order from a kiosk or the counter. The person who took our order was very nice and the food came out quickly. Overall this was a very good experience and we would come back again. Enjoy!

The fries were yummy and the onion rings were so good. It was just a few dollars more than fast food, but much better restaurant-quality. Worth it! We will be back again to try their other menu items! Recommend!

    Overall I'm impressed…read more Pros: -Everything we got was great. -The Thicky burger really was thick and very filling. It was priced at $16, which feels steep for a burger with no sides, but after eating it I'm not mad at that price. Meat patty was SO well seasoned. Probably the most seasoned meat patty I've ever had. Honestly I'm not 100% sure what else was in that burger but it was tasty and unique. Don't think I've had a similar burger elsewhere. The "thickles" (pickles) were sweeter than normal but I actually sort of liked that. -Brussel sprouts are as good as other reviewers say. -Jojos were super fluffy and soft on the outside with a crispy exterior -None of the food was overly oily, which surprised me a little. I expected the find a puddle of oil under the sprouts or for the jojos to seep oil in my to-go container but that wasn't the case at all -Service was super nice! Cons: -Only concern about this place is cleanliness/food safety. I'm not saying it's dirty, but it wasn't exactly clean either. I did see grease stains on the window peering into the kitchen, smudges on the fridge, chicken thigh sitting out (possibly about to be used?), cheese wheel out, number buzzer for our order was greasy, etc. Napkins on the outside were stained with oil. Neutral/Notes: -This place is located inside Future Primitive Brewery.

    First of all, this place is filthy. Absolutely gross dirty. Like, how has it not been shut down?…read moreNot to mention the guy with ungloved hands touching all of the food, and tapping on payment machines. I actually forced myself to taste one of the burgers I ordered and besides being fall apart messy, it was gross tasting. I threw away $80 worth of food my family bought and took them to McDonalds for an upgrade. Please call the health department and shut this place down.

    This is another great example of a place with a high score but few reviews. There is truth in all…read morethe reviews I read, but here is my unfiltered feedback. The burger here was tasty and I think it's far better than Little Chicken up the road. That said, the tiny patty is way overpriced. It was $10 for cheeseburger and fries and I could have had the same thing at Dicks for about $7. There also was no water, you had to purchase drink and the prices were high 2.50 for a can, 3.50 for a bottle. Ask me, they should have a combo and a can would have come with what I purchased. The women could not have been nicer, but I'd never come back. I paid $11 for $6 worth of food. Again the burger was tasty, but I need 2 patties for that price.

    We ordered their cheesesteak, bacon and cheese burger, mozzarella sticks and ice-cream churro…read more Everything cost a little under $50.00 Their burger is solid, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheddar cheese, medium-rare burger with bacon. I asked for extra jalapeños for a little kick. Cheesesteak was decently seasoned with melted cheese. The bread was a bit chewy. Their churro ice-cream came with your ice-cream flavor of choice (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry). The lady at the front drizzled it with some chocolate syrup and whip cream to turn it into a sundae. Although their menu shows 0.50 for condiments, each order came with a side of their house dipping sauce and ranch. We were also given a bag of ketchup, hot sauce, bbq sauce packets at no extra cost. Overall was a good meal, not over-the-top amazing, but decent for the price.
