We visited this new Burb’s with weary expectations since we loved the “old” one so much, and wow, this place is great! The bar it’s located in was up our alley so we already started off strong. The new owner greeted us and walked us through the menu and told us about the new battered fry recipe – so delicious! The perfect crisp, great seasonings and just great texture compared to the original shoe string fries. The burger itself was as delicious as we remembered it to be. We’re so happy to know it’s back!

Ordered a chicken sandwich and fries to go.
The fries were less than half cooked and extremely pale.
The chicken was inedible, literally. I couldn’t bite through it. I peeled off the breading and it had fake grill marks on it. It was so tough and woody I couldn’t pull it apart with my hands. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life.
Totally baffling experience.

I used their online order and apparently accidentally ordered to the wrong location. When I asked for my order they looked at it and informed me 🙁 they called the other location verified the order and made me my food without making me reorder/pay great service! Thank you

Showed up to try the new Burb’s burgers. Left feeling nauseated due to all the cigarette smoke. They’ve got a sign on the patio saying “no smoking” but it’s obviously just a bad joke. Unfortunately the food is not as good as it used to be. Almost there! But not quite right.

As a regular of the old Burbs, I am disappointed. I ordered a chicken sandwich, burger and fries. The old chicken sandwich was probably one of the best I’ve ever tasted, but the new one is very uninspiring. They switched chicken thigh to chicken breast which is much drier, and they also removed the spicy rub. The breading also seems less flavorful, and the texture isn’t as good. The burger was pretty dry, not a whole lot there. And for the fries, they give a very small quantity. The old Burbs used to give you a huge amount of fries which was one of the best parts. I miss the old Burbs and am really hoping the recipes can return to their former glory.

Like many reviews say they were great for $6 but in the last 4 weeks (since Dec 24) prices have moved up $3 making Dicks the better option again. I also think in this same price increase time frame they changed their buns and possibly their meat, it isn’t the same. The frequent changing of names “old” “new” just “burbs” make reviews hard to track for what prices are and what you’re getting. Even in the bar the printed menus were $1 cheaper than when you order and online it showed $1 cheaper than the menu – lots of inconsistency like the burgers have had recently.

Burbs has unfortunately fallen from grace with the relaunch, at least at this early point in time. The fried chicken sandwich was the best I’d ever had, and the fries were like McDonalds but higher quality and you got a ton! The chicken sandwich is now sub-par, and the fries are good, but they are fried differently and you definitely don’t get as many. The chicken meat itself was also weird, not good quality. Good value for money still, but disappointing:(

Can’t go wrong with either of these 2 items. I’ll eventually try the other items on the menu, but it’s hard to pass up on these 2, even if it’s to try another tasty dish.

I considered Old Burbs the best burger in Seattle and would eat there several times a month (okay lets be real, it was once a week). When I heard they were reopening as New Burbs I was ecstastic and raced right down opening day. I’ve eaten there a few times now in hopes that it would get better with time, but alas it never does.
You can tell the new owner wants to excell, however he keeps changing things that puts New Burbs further and further away from the glory of Old Burbs.
New Burbs doesn’t have the same crispy, charred smash patties that Old Burbs did. They have little to no Maillard reaction which, let’s be real, differentiates good burgers from mid burgers. The new owner also just upped the patties to 4oz which, imo, is too much meat for a truly crispy, lacey, scrumptious smash patty. Additionally the burger are now dripping in sauce which sounds like a good idea in theory, but really it just makes it difficult to eat.
As far as fries, you used to get an abundance of delectable golden shoe strings at Old Burbs that was always enough for me and my partner to share. Now we each need to order our own, which wouldn’t be an issue if they were just as good… but they are limp, colorless and slightly starchy from being under cooked. LEAVE THEM IN THE FRYER FOR A ANOTHER MINUTE OR TWO DANG IT.
I really want this place to succeed, but I feel like in order to do that thet need to leave other things off the menu that don’t belong there and focus on making a limited menu as good as it used to be. I wouldn’t even blink twice at the price changes if the quality was the same as Old Burbs. As the saying goes… if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Is it something I would eat after a few drinks at a bar? Sure. Is it something I would go out of my way for when I am craving a burger? Eh…
