    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.

    Average run of the mill burger place. Nothing special. You can make the same thing at home but price was decent.

    The burger I got was an underachieving whopper.Small patty and thrown together by an amateur. Will not go there again.

I was surprised that the rest of the world (aka the people walking by on the sidewalk) disappeared while we had good conversation and great food. Dinner included a burger w/ sweet potato fries (fries were kinda bland, I think needed just a tiny bit more salt). Friends had grilled cheese sandwich and tator tots (also too bland), fish tacos, Caesar salad. All great except where noted.

We ordered the cheese curds along with the spicy dry rub wings. The cheese curds were delicious, and all of the dipping sauces were excellent, but for me, the real star of the show was the dry rub wings. They were perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and had just the right amount of spice. I also ordered the BBB Signature Cocktail without the whiskey, and it was refreshing and delicious. Our server was upbeat, fun, and incredibly sweet. In fact, every staff member we interacted with was genuinely kind and welcoming. The atmosphere felt like a true neighborhood pub, with plenty of TVs for watching the game and lots of regulars who clearly feel at home there. The guests seated in front of us were chatting with our waitress like old friends, which really added to the warm, community feel of the place. If you're looking for a laid-back neighborhood bar with great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely worth a visit

    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.

    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.

    The last time that I came here was in 2015. I gave this 3 stars. For this review, if I had to…read moreselect a title it would be "disappointment". My husband and I were visiting the Burien Farmer's Market and decided to stop in for lunch here. The day before our area experienced a heat wave. Apparently this effected this place of business. There were fans going everywhere, no a/c in place; I was hesitant to enter and I should have gone with my instincts. It wasn't awful so that we couldn't stand it, so we stayed. We had a very friendly waitress, wish I could remember her name but she was very good. I ordered a peach tea and my husband ordered a cider, I believe it was pineapple and another fruit based. I ordered the Ahi Taco Wrap and my husband ordered the Luna Fish and Chips. My husband's drink arrived with an apology from another server as she poured the wrong drink for him. He was gracious and took it anyway. Out come our plates. I tasted my husbands fish and found it seriously lacking in flavor; nothing great here. Now let's get to my Ahi wrap; I had serious issues with this.This includes tuna, avocado, cilantro lime coleslaw with chipotle aioli and lime on the side. House made chips and salsa were included. The wrap was hugely disappointing. The ratio of tuna to coleslaw was seriously off. 90 percent of this wrap was coleslaw. The chips weren't fresh and the salsa was just ok, had a sweet type of base, which I don't like in my salsa. The lime included was stale and I couldn't get a drop out of this. The chipotle was so so. The coleslaw had no distinctive cilantro lime flavor. This dish was entirely disappointing and priced at 19.95. Never again. My husband's dish had two pieces of fish and was priced at 18.50. So after the cost of the drinks, the meal was over 60. Shame on us for a few things: 1. For not looking closely at the prices 2. And for most importantly, for simply not grabbing a decently priced hot dog at the farmers market. I'm positive this would have been better and a better deal. We will not be back to this place. The only reason I gave this a one star was for the waitress and the peach tea. Seriously.
