"Say that you want a birthday burger, but would like to strive for something better than a drive-thru moment. Head to Big Max instead. At this Queen Anne spot, there are cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, fries, and shakes—only the burgers are served on brioche, the fries are coated in fancy herb dust, the nuggets are housemade, and the shakes can contain booze. The counter service operation means a come-and-go atmosphere for your perpetually late friends, and when it's nice out, there are fun pink picnic tables on the patio." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
