Burgermaster

I love Burger Master! It’s super clean, with friendly and welcoming staff that always make you feel at home. The service is quick, and the food is fresh and delicious every time. I also really appreciate the extra touches—like the lovely flower garden outside and the fun, seasonal painted glass windows. It gives the whole place such a cheerful and inviting vibe. A local gem I always look forward to visiting!

Stopped in for a quick breakfast bite. Got a breakfast burger, just a regular hamburger with an added egg and mayo and had grilled onions added w a side of hash browns - get it seasoned. Its a drive-in so you find an open spot and have your headlights on when you're ready but shut off your engine no need to idle. Depending on how busy it is once you place your order its typically 5 to 10min until its brought out to you.

I absolutely adore this place! We often do a family dinner here (with the dog!). The fact you get to eat in your car, while listening to old school classics, with quick service makes for a nice change from regular restaurants. We’ve had the mini burgermaster, onion rings, fudge shake, the fish and chips, fries and the fresh lemonade and liked all of it- it’s a comforting meal and we’re usually in and out in under 30 minutes.

Burgermaster is a great spot for a casual date night—just pull up, grab your food, and cue up a movie. The burgers are tasty, and the shakes hit the spot. The only downside? The fries could be crispier. Overall, it’s a solid choice, and I’d recommend checking it out!

Great burger! It was my first time eating here and was a great experience I had the Double Bacon master with grilled onions and it did not disappoint me.

I liked the burger ($9 in 2025). It’s like the superior version of 5Guys. Fries? Basic shoe string fry, solid. It won’t last 7 minutes (most fries of this size do not). The fish sandwich? Pretty dang good. They give 2 thick fried patties that fit side by side. It’s probably the second best fast food-like fish burger (sandwich). I have an unflattering picture but it’s still good and FILLING. I definitely enjoyed it (price $12). Pick up? Is a drive-in. Sure, I guess. Overall? Pretty good and worth a try. Borderline 5 star so I’ll have to come back.

Went yesterday to enjoy dinner with my husband I ordered a fish sandwich and he wanted to try the chicken sandwich. We asked for it cut in half WELL DONE EXTRA CRISPY so we can swap and try each others sandwiches. When we got the the food the fish sandwich was great and the chicken sandwich was not even COOKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. After looking in the middle we saw pink flesh of the chicken very disappointing with especially how expensive food is these days. We had to pull over shortly after because my husband started to feel very ill and was throwing up. We alerted the severs what happened and she told the cooks and they said there’s no way that it was undercooked she was really great and offered him another sandwich. But not sure if will be back serving undercooked chicken is not okay! Be careful and look through your food if you get the chicken option!

The burgermelt was amazing I added a couple of onion rings inside and 10/10. The fish sandwich wasn’t too bad though, but I wouldn’t order it again, lacked of flavor. Note: the burgermelt it’s huge, my husband helped with the last 1/4, maybe next time I ask for only one patty instead of 2

This place is so festive during the holidays! We went on a Saturday night and were able to get a spot no problem, and the staff were prompt. Food is what you would expect for a drive in, and it came out warm and with all the sauce you could want. It's a very clean, well taken care of drive in.

This place is usually busy around dinner time, and that's exactly when my family and I arrived. We ordered burgers, hot dogs, and shakes -- the food was delicious! But what truly stole the show were the shakes; they were absolutely amazing. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors! By the way our server Luis was very helpful during our first visit here. Will come back!

Bama was a great server and so much fun!! We had to order the burger milk on grilled sourdough with two orders of fries, but the real special treat? The incredible tartar sauce if you love, tartar sauce, you need to come here and make every excuse that you possibly can to dip whatever you order in that tartar sauce that is made here fresh. !! Our server was very, very good and a lot of fun and had no problems taking our order and getting everything set up but as the food is very high-quality, give it some time because quality takes a little bit but within 10 minutes you're going to have your food brought right up to your window either on a tray, or if it's really cold? In a bag, but once you take it out and start enjoying it, there will be no regrets at all as long as you make sure to order it with the tartar sauce lol... We are also huge fans of the onion rings

Random stop on our way to BC and they did not disappoint!! Grass fed beef, all made to order. Delicious!!! We ended up stopping again on the way home! The first time I opted for two minis to try the fish and a burger. They are not so mini!!! lol Still glad to try both. The way back I got the full double baconmaster and it was one of the best burgers. Just pull over and try it out.

This was my first time here and I will go back. The fries come out hot and fresh, the sauce on the burger completes it. It reminds me of the sauce from in and out burger. The shake was one of the best I've had! I ordered the peanut butter shake and add chocolate. Very good! The service is great and they are friendly

In honor of National Cheeseburger Day I decided to roll back the clock and head to Burgermaster. First off the food. Good solid burger, top notch fast food fries, and an outstanding peanut butter/butterfinger milkshake. Just exactly what I wanted. What really made the experience 5 stars was the service. My server, Tomas, was efficient, friendly, and very helpful with a couple of key menu suggestions. I wanted to make sure no onions on my burger, and he alternately suggested adding pickles (which I generally load on a burger at home). When I ordered a peanut butter shake he suggested the addition of the crumbled butterfinger, which turned out to be spot on. Including the tip my meal came to $20, about par for the course for the Seattle area. I never understand how people can complain about the cost of a meal when each item has the price printed right on the menu.

Love the QR code ordering and payment! Every time I visit Seattle, I have to get my Burgermaster fix. Prices are astronomical, but the food never disappoints. Quick service from friendly staff. Upbeat atmosphere.

I've heard nothing but good things about Burgermaster but wasn't prepared for how pack the place would be on a Saturday afternoon. On our visit, there were no car ports to pull into so we parked in one of the available spaces and placed our order at the walk up counter. I had asked about ordering a burger in a lettuce wrap and while they don't offer it, I was told I could get it without the bun and they could add lettuce to the bottom. In fact, he said he would add extra lettuce to make it better. So I loved that customer service with the extra attention to detail. Our food was ready in about 12 minutes and was super hot and fresh. We decided to sit at the tables in the back. Ended up being perfect because the umbrellas helped keep us out of the sun (it was hot that day!). The seating area was clean and well kept. The fries are thin and slightly crispy. So good. The onion rings have a thick layer of breading and were not our favorite. But okay. The burgers were delicious. They were cooked to perfection and were still moist and juicy. The crab sandwich was decadent without being too rich and held up to all my expectations. Definitely will get again. Overall, we all enjoyed our food and cannot wait to come back.

Excellent burgers every time! Fresh ingredients, tasty shakes and fries. Zero complaints! I only wish I lived closer to one of their locations:)

Holy cow were these poor employee is so busy. The whole parking lot was full of cars. I had to wait to find a spot that wasn't even at the main ordering area. Line out the door, but they still stay professional and friendly. I got my food at a very reasonable time for how busy they were. Thanks guys.

I've driven by Burgermaster more times than I can count and can FINALLY say I've tried it. I read and heard a lot of positive things leading up to today and can finally say I agree and understand. It was busy on a holiday, but we were able to pull into a spot along the back of the restaurant and wait to order. It took maybe ~10 minutes between ordering and having our food brought to us. We got the bacon master, fish sandwich, fries, and a drink for about $34. Not the cheapest meal, but considering the convenience, value, and flavor, I'd come back! Both the burger and fish sandwich were delicious. They have some set toppings for both, but they also offer additional free toppings! (We didn't opt for anything additional and wanted to try as-is) I don't usually order fish sandwiches, but this one was SO good and had so much fish in it. It tasted fresh and wasn't overly oily or greasy either - same with the burger and fries. All in all, we were super impressed and loved the convenience and experience of ordering and eating in our car. We'll definitely be back!

Really good burger. I first tried the Burgermaster, as you do, but found it too filling as I also want to enjoy their yummy shoestring fries. Their golden goodness one cannot pass up. The cup obviously fits in a car cup holder for your convenience. Lol I now order the Mini Burgermaster which suits me perfectly. My teens enjoy the Burgermelts. We still haven't worked our way through the menu yet, but plan on it as we enjoy the car door service which is quick. Food is consistent. And the bygone era of drive-ins is cool to carry on today at Burgermaster. Feels like a modern day Happy Days especially when all the teens show up and hangout. The shakes are thick with add-ins. The pumpkin shake was quite nice btw. This has quickly become a new haunt for us.

Great service and great food! Loved the pull up old school burger joint! It was decorated for Xmas so it was super cute! I ordered the fish burger it was perfection so juicy & warm with a side a tartar sauce just in case but didn't need it! My son got a kids meal burger came out great! My bf ordered the Burgermaster with all the fixins his was cold but still good.. fries and onion rights were cooked perfect! Honestly the vibe was great we put on a movie in the car and had dinner in the car!

We have lived in Bellevue for over ten years and just discovered Burgermaster a week ago and so impressed by the food here that we went again after our first visit last week. The children love the burgers which remind them of a better version of In N Out. The fish sandwich was amazing, lightly battered and not heavily laden with oil. The grilled chicken was good as well as fries and onion rings. Still a bit shocked at the quality of the food for the price! The service was amazing, the person who took our order and brought it along with his colleague was so cheery and seemed to genuinely take pride in his job. The food was warm and we chose to enjoy it in the car. I can understand why it was so packed on a Saturday night and looking forward to making this part of our rotation!

It is what it is straight up. It is a newfangled take on an old fashion idea of a drive-in minus the rollerskates my kid loves it, the meat seems to be higher quality than most drive-through's or fast food. Staff is genuinely nice and helpful. My daughter has a very specific order and they are able to accommodate. They also have little doggy burger menus, which I love.

A solid burger drive in spot! The burger was juicy and well cooked! I wish I could have tried different topping combinations on my burger. But that will be for the next trip! Service was efficient and fast, it wasn't too crowded when I showed up. Ordered from my car. So easy!

So glad I got to try burger master! This was a great burger, no gimmicks. I would go back next time I am in Seattle. I didn't get a pic of the fries but they were ample & fresh.

Burgermaster is a charming regional drive-in that I stop by probably once every two weeks. Not the cheapest option out there, but very solid value nonetheless (a burger will drop you around 7 bucks). I've been thoroughly impressed with the quality of everything I've tried here besides the hot dog in a hamburger bun, that one is odd not gonna lie. Ingredients are super fresh and the seafood options (Dungeness + Swiss Melt and the Fish Sandwich which comes with two fillets!) come with a super generous amount of protein. The shakes are delicious too, so far my favorite is the Fresh Banana, but making my way through all the different flavors. Logistically, this place can get pretty busy, especially on weekends. I've definitely seen lines of cars waiting for a drive-in spot to open up. There are some parking spots along the sides if you want to opt for take-out and walk up to the central kitchen to order. Overall, great PNW classic and 5 million times better than Dick's I hate that place.

Love how we can order food in the car and the server brings the food to the car. Burger always taste good and love their onion rings

My friend that lives close to here was so surprised I hadn't been here before that we immediately drove here for dinner. The whole experience of eating in the car at a drive-thru was super fun, it felt like a quintessential American experience. We got 2 regular burgers with all the fixins, a large fry, onion rings, and a vanilla and banana shake. Everything we ordered was solid, especially the shake! They used fresh banana in the shake so it had some yummy chunks in there. The service was pretty fast for ordering, but when we were done with the meal, I had my headlights on for around 10 mins and even flashed them on and off, but nobody came up to my car. There was clearly a worker that saw us our headlights on (which you are supposed to do for service), but no one ended up coming up to the car so I had to get out and bring the tray back to the workers instead. It's not a big deal, but it annoyed me because the whole purpose of these kind of drive-ins is that you don't have to get out of your car.

From the name, Burgermaster sounded like one of those gourmet, fast casual burger places that have become really popular in the past 20 years (e.g. Five Guys, Shake Shack, Hopdoddy). It's not...it was founded in 1952 in Seattle and with its 5 locations, serves up great burgers as a true drive-in. I never experienced one while growing up, and only started to know more about it once Sonic began a big expansion. The whole experience is meant to start and finish inside your car. There is no intercom system here...instead once you pull into an open slot, a car hop will come by the drivers side to take your order. It's a focused menu: besides the burgers, there is chicken, fish, turkey, even real Dungeness crab as the proteins. We ended up going classic with 4 burgers (3 burger masters of quarter pound fresh beef $7.50, and a kid burger plus cheese $5). You can customize and many of the toppings are free (pickles, lettuce, onions, jalapenos). Fries come in a cup ($3.50) and are shoestring. You get one free dipping sauce for each fry....we got the boom-boom (mayo with a bit of chili). The food was soon delivered to your car soon after. Everything was good, definitely better if you eat it fresh at the drive-in, but still pretty good at home.

tl;dr - good burgers, great service, fun drive-in experience My usual order is the Burgermaster with pickles, onions, and jalapeños added. It always tastes fresh and not greasy. The fries have been a bit inconsistent for me, but when they are crispy I really enjoy them. They remind me of McDonald's fries in terms of the size, shape, and flavor profile. The service is great here. I love driving up and having my order taken from the car. The staff is always really friendly and helpful.

Service: It took us longer than 35 minutes to receive our food. First, we had our lights turned on and no one came to serve us (one of us went to the toilet and confirmed we did in fact have them on). After a good 15 minutes and servers serving all other cars except us, we used the QR code to place a takeout order. After more time passes, a server finally comes over to check in on us, explaining there was a change in servers and that we used the doordash QR code, which is slower for service ( it's the QR code at the top of the menu, with no instruction not to use this one. No idea why they'd put a code they didn't want people using in the first place). Ambiance: Unique experience of cars lining up and being served. This is good for people that like to eat in their cars. Food: Fries: limp and chewy tasting. Onion ring: Heavily battered stingy pieces of onion, quite greasy. As the plant based person, ordered the garden burger. Honestly, it tastes like an oatmeal puck. While I love oatmeal, I don't particularly like oats inside a burger. After eating everything felt like my body needed a lot of fresh veggies. Even waiting extra long while hungry didn't make this any tastier unfortunately.

First, I just want to say that I love Burgermaster but their service needs improvement tbh. There were only 3 of us in the line inside for takeout and it took them more than 10 minutes to get the first guy's order. They do have really good burgers though but holy cow I was shocked when I only saw 5 (five) pieces of onion rings for $5.

Took my children here for lunch after the zoo. Aahhhhhmazing! We had crab grilled cheese, fried chicken sandwich, onion rings, fries, milkshakes! We left full! Prices are great! Staff is so friendly! We will be back again and again. Oh yeah and get their tarter sauce it's delish

Totally obsessed with the chicken crispy master. They hit all the major points- mayo, pickles, solid bun, and delicious chicken with American cheese. I always order a side of pickles. Clearly a big pickle fan! I typically order for pickup so I can't speak for the dine-in experience but the food itself is always 10/10

We ordered Burger master with grilled onions yum Plain grilled chicken for Doggo (cut up) smelled good! Double bacon burger master yum!!! Onion rings a crisp large fresh rings Fries - crispy just as I ordered Peanut butter milkshake!!! Easiest my one of the best I have ever had- creamy delicious peanut butter mixed throughout!!!!! This place was Packed- but always check for spaces to Park in back. Service was fast they showed up the minute we pulled in and ordering was fast and easy! Food was delicious old school drive in delicious! Fresh hot food excellent flavors great customization options! Definitely see why this place draws a crowd but it's fast friendly and fresh!

I just moved back to the area and it's hadn't had Burgermaster in over 15 years. Let me tell you? It's just as good as I remember! The burgermaster was great! I especially love the soft bun and let me recommend the jalapeños and grilled onions. The burger was slightly under seasoned for my liking but overall a good burger. The crab melt was a bit underwhelming and slightly one note but not terrible. Not sure I'd get it again but it's definitely something different for the non beef eaters. The fries had good texture but slightly under seasoned. Overall, a good dining experience and will return to try their shakes!

The hamburgers are good! Unique, taste great. Service is on point. Never any problems when I stop by for something quick. Woudl recommend trying it out if you've never been

The burgers were ok, a bit bsic. It took a very long time before my order was made correctly. I had to wait over 30 minutes, which I thought was a bit crazy. According to the other reviews, I'm not the only one. The pricing was ok, the food was again, basic. I like dthe fries.

I do frequent this establishment once in a while if I crave a burger. However recently, when paying, I noticed their tipping option on their machine is in descending order of 25 to 20 to 18. This seems intentional to bait people into mistakenly choosing a large tip when unintended. I have not seen any other place do this. My wife accidentally chose the highest tip and it was so fast that it was irreversible. Diners beware

Classic American burger! Dining in your car make it feel like the 70's (guess will be a liability issue if they served on roller skates) :-)

I've been in a burger hole since leaving my beloved in n out behind in San Diego but SHEEEEEEEESH this place HITS. I've had both the burger master and the double burger master. I think the entirety of the sandwich (buns lettuce sauce tomatoes) are really solid which I like to see, the ingredients feel fresh and the bread is mad soft. The meat and cheese is also really good, not dry, mixes well with the sauces texturally, and I feel like it supports the double patty well. Both are good, you don't have to worry about the double being too meaty or the sandwich part not being good enough for the single. It's lit The Dungeness melt is so good. More places ought to offer grilled cheeses especially late at night, what better drink food is there? Just kidding you can't beat tacos (if u disagree w me come to the border and see) the crab mixes super well w it too. Their fries are rly good and they come in a cup which is super convenient for eating on the car Bit pricy so not exactly same niche as in n out but if im feelin a burger, im coming to the master 9 times outta 10.

This is how fast food should be done. Not only is it delicious, you can relax in your car while eating/ordering. And bonus: If you're an idiot like me and listen to the radio for a half hour while eating, they'll even help jump your car! Apparently this is pretty common.

Literally just decided to try this place randomly driving by one day. It's so cool the idea of just pulling in and they bring it to you. I enjoyed the whole experience and the food was great! I also got a vanilla milkshake that was super good! It's kinda spendy, but I guess these are the days where a burger fries and a milkshake is $22 sadly. The female server was very nice and attentive. They were playing old 50's style music. The only thing I didn't like was the price, and the annoying rambunctious kids in the car next to me that kept trying to get out of their vehicle and their dad kept threatening to leave if they don't get back in. That's not burgermasters fault of course. So glad I dont have kids. Oh yeah, their tartar sauce is super good!!

I lived in Redmond from 2002-2017 and I would go to Burgermaster occasionally and it was "fine", a decent burger and fries, better than fast food chains. Until I discovered the Dungeness crab melt. Oh em gee. This sandwich gives me LIFE. It's my standard order, but unfortunately now I live 1500 miles away so I only get to order it when I visit once a year or so. Just had it again this weekend. It is absolutely worth the $15 and is filling and delightful. Fries were thin and crispy, Coke was fizzy and cold. The perfect meal and my first stop from the airport. If you like tuna melts, TRY THIS. The parking lot was busy, but service was quick and efficient, and my order was correct. I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Still the best tartar sauce I've ever had. I don't care for their ranch (it's just ken's) but the tartar is immaculate. We've been stuck home with a new puppy, so this was our "outing" until he gets his shots. Put some good music on and enjoyed eating here on a Friday night before the crowds. Staff is great and friendly. Though nobe of the cars seem to follow the arrows in the parking lot, so watch out around corners!

Came here on a weekday around 1:00. It was busy, but not crowded. I wouldn't choose to come back unless someone else really wanted to. My husband liked it a lot more than I did. Pros: -friendly service -fresh ingredients -a good amount of choices on the menu Cons: -service was pretty slow -flavor was very plain

Me being a burger person !! Definitely recommend this spot!!! I got the burger master! Definitely hit the spot! Great service and fresh food!

I used to live close by this place and at times I found myself here 2-3 times a week.... This was the first time I had been in a while but I remember why I came here so often. Service was excellent and burgers are top notch, this is the place to go! And whoever decided to put jalapeños in the baconmaster is beyond genius. Hit the spot and had me feeling content and satisfied- which few places are able to do. Old school drive up and park. Leave headlights on for service which comes quick and servers were very friendly. Asked for extra crispy fries and they actually came with EXTRA CRISPY FRIES!! I know it's a simple thing, but I love actually getting what I asked for. Fries where great Onion rings where great Bacon Maseter was incredible. Got it with fresh onions and scratched the tomatoes. The included jalapeños set it over the top 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

The food was pretty good but I didn't realize it wasn't a sit-down restaurant before arriving. It was fine because there was outdoor seating. However, I felt uncomfortable because one of the employees started watching me almost the entire time I ate there. The other employees were pretty friendly though.

When I a yougin' I went to school with a girl who's last name was Burgermaster. Wonder if there is any affiliation? If so she lucky, because this is a darn good burger. Reminiscent of old timey burger spots where you order to a crew member who may or may not come out on skates to bus your order right to your car. Same case here sans the skates though (probably a worker comp accident waiting to happen). When your food comes it's on a car tray attachment just like in the Flintstones except it doesn't flip your car (that I know of) So let's get to the burger. The double bacon burgermaster was ordered up with fries and a shake. The burger was excellent. Usual fixins' lettuce, tomato but the 'sauce' which often seems non existent is good here. It has a tanginess to it. Doesn't hold together the best with the double, I give it a pass as it was very good otherwise. The fries were very good, lightly salted, no ketchup needed. Shake was great. Plenty of cookie crumbles and not too thick, though you can use a spoon. Kid size, is plenty big enough. So a Double, shake and small fries will run you about $20. Definitely a quality burger though. So somewhere in the middle as far as value but I for sure Will go again.

Burger was good and I didn't have to wait for pickup. Would've given 5 stars but the app asks for tip ahead of time which IMO should never be the case. Don't want to give no tip cause you never know if that'll affect the quality of your burger.

Another Burgermaster visit was needed. Visited on a Saturday evening and it was super busy, had a couple people in their cars waiting for a spot. However, people only waited about 3 minutes or gave up and tried some place else. When I visited, I ordered via their site as I did not have a spot up front. I picked the option for them to bring my food up to my car, but I received a text saying my food was ready. I waited about 10 minutes and still no food. So I went up to the cash register and just got my food in no time. Fries were SUPER dry. Burger still tastes the same as I remembered though. Overall, at busy times like this, if you want your food immediately and are hangry, just go up to the register and get your food. I still will come back.

Only giving 2 star due to great service that they gave me. Cons: Crab melt tasted funny at first, ended up vomiting a couple hours later. Food was very pricy too.

I really love their Gardenburger! It's such a nice change from all the other places who only offer Impossible or Beyond veggie patties as their vegetarian option. Those are great, but I'm getting tired of them. I also enjoy not having to get out of my car, and I like the old-timey, retro feel of it all. Not to mention, the service has always been great!

I grew up in Seattle so Burgermaster was part of my childhood. We now often stop at the Bellevue location after nearby doctor appointments. We had our last meal there today as it seems to have lost some "soul" at this location with a server that wore a face of utter misery and used as few words as possible to take our order. It may not be the best job but maybe fake it a little. The burgers have lost some luster also with buns that become soggy very quickly and the burger is then disintegrating in your hand.

What's not to like about a BurgerMaster burger. My favorite burger of the "fast food" variety. If you don't mind eating in your car, the carhop service is classic. We also discovered their picnic area on the northeast corner of their property on a recent visit with our grandkids. Fabulous option when there are little fingers and French fries. BurgerMaster is a mainstay!

What can we say yummy . The good if good, hot and enjoyable. Orders are accurate most of the time. Friendly servers.. however.. TIP should be at end for us. Esp with more than one server.
