Where to Eat the Best Burgers in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"While there’s a “deluxe” cheeseburger that the menu says is “restaurant-style,” Loretta’s Northwesterner is a bar, and you want the Tavern. This classic burger, possibly the city’s best, shows off simplicity done well: beef with a nice char, pickles, onions chopped small, American cheese, and special sauce that’s heavy on the mayo — all on an unobtrusive, squishy bun. (You can find the same burger at sibling restaurant Star Brass Works, but the fries are considerably better at Loretta’s.) Vibe check: Loretta’s could be called a dive, but it’s not a scary or dirty kind of dive, just a classic Georgetown spot." - Jay Friedman
