Decent burgers overall. We ordered the Boss Burger and the Great State Burger, along with fries and onion rings. The Great State Burger was excellent, while the Boss Burger was good, though the bacon was a bit tough. The sauces were a highlight—especially the Korean BBQ and the aioli, which were my favorites. It’s a solid spot to try if you’re in the area or if you want food to bring into nearby bars.

Seen this burger joint around the city (waterfront and Tmobile Park) but hadn’t tried it. Was near the U-village area location and took a shot at grabbing some lunch. Overall can’t say im throughly impressed, but not really disappointed either. Pretty straight forward for a burger and onion rings – really nothing special that would get me to come back.
As others have mentioned pricing is a little steep considering the size of the burger, which probably wouldn’t be an “issue” if it was a really really good burger

Pretty expensive for small sloppy burgers. I don’t mind the price so much, but the burgers were tiny and sloppy. We got a lot of fries with just a single order and they were ok. Overall, I’d probably just go to Shake Shake at University Village instead. I was there recently and the burger was much more filling and was a bit cheaper. The burger in y pic was $14.50. We spent $37(including tip) for two burgers and one fry.

I visited the location at Laurelhurst near Seattle Childrens. Typically the food is excellent. Almost always my order comes out exactly as ordered online. Today, not so much. The customer service, presentation and the ability to read the order was highly lacking by the guy who looked like he walked out of Harry Potter. “Hagrid” needs to go back to school with the kids at Hogwarts. His magical abilities are either rusty or his wand is no longer working.
I asked for my fries to be extra crispy. They looked like they were cooked by Dobby. Half limp and half cooked. So I grabbed my kidlings, walked back inside and said my fries aren’t well done. He says, “they aren’t?!”. I showed him the limpy pasty and sad looking fries. He looked at me as if I stole his quaffle sneakily in Quidditch. No apology, or anything. Like I was a bother asking for my correct order. When I did get my fries…they were still not extra crispy and they were what normal fries were supposed to be like. I took my inadequate fries and l left in fear he may cast a spell upon my fries. Meanwhile my families burgers were cooling and waiting.
There were no other people other than one straggler here and there. I’m So glad I did not tip prior or after..it’s appalling you even ask..is this why my order was not correct? Who knows why “hagrid” was bla about doing his job. And why even ask for tips when all you are, are cooking a burger and fries where we as customers are cleaning up and walking in.
I’ll think twice about going in again if I see his hagrid face at the grill again. That guy should not be working in a restaurant or with people near a children’s hospital. Some of the families that come in, their kids are very specific with their food which is why the “extra crispy” is ordered by my family.
Enjoy my photo of our limpy, pasty krinkle taters swords.

Two cheeseburger a chocolate shake a fry and onion rings over $54. Are you kidding me? I should’ve went to Dick‘s a little bit of rough attitude, but that’s what I come to expect these days with service and then as they flip the screening over and wanted another 15% to 22% for a tip. I’d rather starve.

This is such a delicious local burger place! I absolutely loved the malt shake I got, the crinkle cut fries were perfect, and our burgers were delicious. All around a fantastic place to eat. There is plenty of outdoor seating and service was fast. It’s definitely worth a stop! I took a picture of their menu because it seems to have been updated recently, so check out my photos for their most recent menu (July 2021). I can’t wait to go back to try their breakfast sandwiches!

Never again- Never going back!
They have burgers that they didn’t know what ingredients were in. Plant-based or not. I asked all three employees and one of them said it was made of peas. I looked on the website and they kept pointing me to the piece of paper that had no information on the ingredients of the vegetarian burger. I told them as long as it wasn’t soy because I have a blood clotting disorder from estrogen foods such as soy.
This food USED TO BE flavorful and keep my family full. Now it all tastes like sand salt and oil and is garbage food. Thin as heck, hard, old dried out and processed. They weren’t always cheap crap ingredients when they first came to Seattle in Ravenna and Amazon campus. WHAT HAPPENED? QUALITY IS TRASH.
Every time I go back here the food is worse. I wasn’t the only one thinking this, my friends have had the same experience the last few years. First they stopped carrying Field Roast which was hearty chewy awesome and full of oats and mushrooms and whole grains. They used to have Tillamook cheese. Now it’s Sysco.
We were lied to that the burger was made of peas and instead was chock full of crap low quality chemicals ingredients. We’re talking soy, synthetic colorants such as fd&c blue #1 which causes cystic acne and birth defects , and fd&c yellow #4 linked to lowering sperm count and infertility.
The fries are hard discolored old overcooked and oily.
What happened to the real butter flaky fresh fries?
Both the burger buns were squashed thin and hard burnt a little. The cheese was still hard and cold not melted at all.
The vegetarian burger was cold and our order was made in about 2 minutes.
All three guys I think are new but also burnt out from the job. I can imagine how hard they work all day well the front counter guy was. The cook and other guy were standing around.
Great State owners should fix this or go to hell with their business. I hope they go visit their own sites and understand how bad the quality is and customer service is now. What a waste of time. My family was a huge fan the first 2 years they came to Seattle. We will never return.
The prices at Great State have gone up and the quality has gone down. We’re going to Dicks in the future! The only place in town where quality is still trusted ingredients and the prices are still fair. Over $40 for a soda 2 fries and 2 thin baby size burgers given to us dry and cold. How is that even possible?
Years ago I use I love this great state it’s my favorite I’ve been going there for years since they opened they do really fun events for families and movie nights. Veggie burger is my favorite because it’s full of veggies that are very burger-like.

Basic burger and a shroom&swiss, one fry and one soda- 50$
Small burgers w lettuce and pickle, no tomato.
Jones soda fountain but no carbonation in most of the sodas.
Food was fine, just way overpriced.

Note that the only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because of lack of seating. The interior is very small with only space for about 12 people max.
Delicious, grass-fed burgers for a reasonable price. The fries are also awesome! Perfectly crispy and flavorful. They also serve Jones soda and have a couple beers on tap. We will definitely be back.

Lots of improvement opportunities here.
First, the tables were dirty and sticky when we sat down to eat. This seemed odd considering they were not busy – we were the only customers and the two people working weren’t doing anything.
Second, the food was expensive. We ordered a great burger, cheeseburger, 2 fries, and 2 sodas – $50+ dollars. The burgers were small and absolutely no reason to be $10. Now, the burgers were good, fries were fresh but $6! They weren’t fresh cut or anything but a frozen type. Absolutely ridiculous pricing. The Jones soda – $4 for a 12oz cup. Again, I get the area is part of the UDistrict, but seriously, so many ways to cut costs here.
Third, just an overall disappointment of the service as it felt like the individuals didn’t want to be there.
