Outpost of a veteran local chain, founded in 1952, of drive-in burger, shake & french-fry joints.
"In the debate of Burgermaster vs. Dick’s, we’re shutting it down right now—Burgermaster’s 520 location wins. Yes, special sauce-y bacon cheeseburgers, panko-breaded onion rings, and skinny shoestring fries swirled around Ken’s ranch make our world go ‘round. But nothing quite compares to the Dungeness and swiss melt, a nutty-gooey paste of crab and cheese smashed between halves of griddled sourdough." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

Eating at a table is passé when you can eat dinner in your Prius instead. Food Rundown photo credit: Nate Watters Burgermaster Burgermaster's namesake is a local darling in its own right. It has everything you want, and nothing you don't. photo credit: Nate Watters Onion Rings Eat them plain, smash them in a side of ranch, put one on your burger—just order them. photo credit: Nate Watters Dungeness Crab Melt The real kingpin of Burgermaster is their Dungeness melt, in all of its crustacean-y, cheesy glory. Forget Taylor Shellfish or Ray’s—get the good Dungeness here in the comfort of your driver’s seat. photo credit: Nate Watters Mint Oreo Shake Yeah, it looks like a kale smoothie, but thank goodness it's not. While there are many combinations of milkshake possible, mint and Oreo are the winning duo." - Aimee Rizzo
"One of the Burgermaster chain locations known for being a favorite of the Gates family and once had a direct line to Microsoft." - Harry Cheadle
"Speaking of burgers, Burgermaster is an absolute classic, and for those who have been to other locations and are confused, the one in Bellevue is way better than the rest. Eating at this drive-in is simple—park your car, turn your lights on for service, order cheeseburgers, shoestring fries, a crab and swiss melt, and flawless panko-crusted onion rings, and have a nice dinner in your front seat. And don't forget an artificially flavored green mint shake blended with nearly an entire sleeve of Oreos. It’s Burgermaster’s greatest contribution to the world. Aside from the onion rings." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"I decided to bake brownie-bottom pumpkin bars and safely deliver them to 15 of my best friends the night before Thanksgiving. My delivery route slithered around Seattle from Mt. Baker to Fremont to Lynnwood to Issaquah, and the entire thing took five hours. What made it all worth it? The pit stop meal at Burgermaster in Bellevue, involving a tasty little cheeseburger, crunchy-crusted onion rings dunked in tangy housemade tartar, and a mint Oreo milkshake to wash it all down. Oh yeah, and reconnecting in person with loved ones for the first time in months, too. -AR" - carlo mantuano, aimee rizzo
