    Great burgers. A bit on the smaller side but well loaded. Don't bother with the different salts, they'll just bounce off. just dip your fries or tots in a side of one of their delicious aioli sauces.

    Great place for having a burger experiment. Had the Chuck Norris which is definitely a burger that beats all other burgers in the world. Believe me. It's true.

    You can get enormous, super-customized burgers (pictured here is the Truffle Love), tater tots with a variety of seasoning blends, and amazingly delicious milkshakes. Read more

    It's a great little spot for burgers and the customer service has been good the 2 times I've been. I'm not much of a beer drinker but these were 1.25 and they were good. Burgers were good and filling.

    The “lab” serves about a dozen chocolate- and vanilla-based shakes, plus a handful of eccentric, boozy ones like the Cinnamon Toast Crunk spiked with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. Read more

    Get the James West - beef patty cooked with a cowboy steak rub, with Guajillo cream cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce and onion rings. 😵 add a fried egg - you won't regret it.

    The burgers and milkshakes are really good. There's almond joy, all the Neapolitan flavors, banana crime pie, different candy bar flavors, and Nutella milkshake are all good.

    Almond Joy. Weekly News, and with use of local Snoqualmie Ice Cream and homemade chocolate ganache, there's no question why shakes like Boston Crème Donut took home the prize. Read more

    I tend to do a make your own burger version, but the veggie patties are good. I also am a sucker for the peanut butter cup smoothie.

    Modestly named “Burger of the Gods,” this heavenly burger is a mix of freshly ground sirloin, prime rib, and rib eye, topped with sweet onions and sharp Gorgonzola sauce. Need we say more?

    Great place to hang out! Burgers are HUGE and I recommend sharing or taking half home. Request your shake to be in beaker to look SUPEEEER nerdy!

    The smokey burger is more bacon than patty and that is not a put down. Not only do they offer the best burgers, but they have tater tots! For adults. I love the place.

    Fantastic burgers in person but not via delivery. Try the one loaded with a couple different kinds of mushrooms.

    The Tribute to the Dicks Deluxe is pricier than the original, but also bigger, messier & comparatively loaded. I like the natural light at this location. It was what I wanted when I wanted it.

    I had Santa FeSlammer. It was good but I was epecting more after reading all the reviews. The meat was good, bun was nothing special, but the additional ingredients excess the taste of the meat.

    Awesome burgers, and an intriguingly off-beat menu. Definitely try a milkshake.

    Helps to wait for coupons or specials, but it's one of the best burgers in Seattle. Shakes are great too.

    The sweet potato fries with sweet chili mayo were excellent, but avoid the dork (duck and pork) and stick with the beef burgers.

    as a patron of the original location, i am disappointed-don't care for the upscale ambiance & while the burgers still taste pretty good, the price went up to $14 & the patties went from 1/2 to 1/4lb

    Sad! After hearing so many wonderful things, we took an adventure to see the new location. Small burgers (nothing like the pictures online) small shots, red robinesque decor. I could go on...

    We were told the happy hour menu is "in transition". She handed us the specials menu (same specials all day) and said that's the new happy hour. No deals to be found. Won't be coming back for happy hr
