Well, I have a new fave. Great State Burger kicks to shit out of any other hamburger I've had in Seattle. I went to the one across the street from Varlamos in Laurelhurst.
Best Seattle area burger joint?

Nothing special.

Actually, I've been there once and thought it was good, if not overpriced.
When going for burgers, the choice is usually dictated by the Glovelets.
Red Mill seems to be their favorite, Rain City is next. Dicks is always in the rotation for a quick bite.
Uneeda is really good, but that is usually driven by the adults.
Little Big Burger is great, best fries.

I consider myself as good of burger as the next man. I thought it was fucking perfect in every way. Way better than any burger I've ever had at Red Mill or Rain City. Red Mill doesn't use iceberg lettuce which is a no go for me. Rain City is fine, but nothing special.

I agree on Great State. If you're down in Tacoma, hit Red Wagon Burgers in Westgate.
The Rusty Pelican has a great burger

I'll give Great State another shot.
Have you even Little Big Burgered yet? Greenlake and Wallingford locations. The fries!
Rain City Sounders Burger. Fucking delicious.
It's about the sides too.
Red Mill has the best onion rings, anywhere. Case closed.
At Rain City go with the Cajun tots and Rain City sauce.
As mentioned, the fries at Little Big Burger are orgasmic.

Fuck Shake Shack with a rusty conical cheese grater. Why? The second and last time I went there, the fries were room temp. I complained, got the attitudinal shrug, and another serving of fucking room temp fries. It's hard.

Red Mill is crap. Their thin, frozen patties look and taste like they're straight from the freezer isle.

Shake Shack has trash fries that might as well come out of the microwave. But best burger out there hands down.
Red Mill is the most overrated hamburger in the history of Seattle.

I have a rule with my food: It must contain food and be worth the hassle. Iceberg lettuce doesn't and isn't, so all it adds to a burger is heightened odds of making a mess. Spinach, avocado, sauteed mushrooms and/or onions are all acceptable options. Worth the inevitable feeling like you need to take a shower after eating because you're up to your elbows in burger gore.
Also, bun makes a huge difference. Gimme a garlic rosemary ciabatta toasted with butter to make it perfect.
Oh, and cut the hamburger 60/40 with mild sausage. Mmmmmmm.

I tried Great State and immediately wished I’d just gone to Dick’s and spent the $20 I saved on anything else. Overpriced and underwhelming. To be fair they had just opened, so maybe I should give them another chance next time I go to Burke Gilman Brewery.
JaK’s actually makes a pretty good burger.
Speaking of Varlamos, when was the last time anyone went there? I think it’s been like 25 years for me. But it was definitely the hot spot growing up.

I still love Varlamos. We take the fam there all the time. It was my first meal out as a college student at UW.
