Absolutely NOT! This was THEE MOST DISGUSTING BURGER EVER! It was slimy, over priced and THE ORDER WAS WRONG and they did nothing to resolve the issue, even after asking us to come back to the store!! What was the purpose? NEVER WILL COME HERE AGAIN - save your money and get a burger from 5 guys down the street in Westwood!

We got the “pig & the fig” burger, the “smoked out”, and some fries. Food came out fairly quick, and the employees were also really sweet. The fries were good (kind of reminds me of Dick’s style fries) and the burgers were alright. Patties were a bit dry, kind of lacking in flavor. I see a lot of other reviews praising the burgers though, so it could’ve just been an off day. Because the value was so good (our meal was around $30, pretty hard to find nowadays), location is awesome to have a bite it, and nice employees, I’d definitely come back and give it another try.

Yummy Halal Burger with Fermented Hot Sauce Laura hooked me up with a basket of fries since I was unsure about getting a side or basket. I ate a little bit and donated the rest to the houseless Military Vets at the local center thanks to her, and the vet I gave them to had a hilarious shirt. The only salt we want is on our fries.

Seattle’s very own spot for fancy burger combos and a killer menu for other delicious foods. I happened to be close by on Memorial Day and took advantage of the free basic burger. Still delicious for a classic meal. The chicken sandwich is heavenly.

I've tried multiple times to order a Coca-cola float, but they won't sell it to me. Every time I ask the cashier they look at me like I was crazy and tell me that I can only purchase a root beer float. I know that you sell 4 different kinds of root beer, but I hate root beer. It smells like Jagermeister and poor decisions. Why do you have a sign that says, "Any soda, any scoop - Make it a float!" if you won't make it?!

Was craving a burger on my way home from work, so stopped here and arrived at about 1:45pm on a Sunday. I was impressed by the cleanliness and decor, and that it is in a shared space with other cool businesses. I ordered the Lil Woody and a can of Rainier, which came out to $10 and change. The Big Woody looked appealing but I wasn’t trying to spend too much. The only difference is bacon lettuce and tomato. I was the only one in the restaurant when ordering but still waited about 5 min for my burger which is fine. I wondered why I received a buzzer for when my food is ready but I later realised you can go sit and eat in Beer Star! Very cool. The Lil Woody was delicious! Perfectly cooked and the ingredients were quality. I appreciated that it just has ketchup and mayo as lubricant since sometimes the burger joint house sauces can be exhausting.

The service was cool, but the food is extraordinarily mediocre. Their fries are made in-house, and in my experience, that’s never a good thing. True to form on that one. They don’t use fresh patties, which is SACRILEGE when you’re only selling burgers. I don’t even use frozen patties at home. My biggest complaint is the terrible, terrible pickle relish they put on the burger. Absolutely no exaggeration when I say the relish ruins the burger. Who isn’t using dill pickles with a relish? When did we start putting relish on burgers? I never expect much from Lil Woodys which is probably why I’m never disappointed, but this last visit is enough for me to never come back. Seriously amazed that they’ve stayed in business this long and they have more than one location. It’s an absolute travesty. 😂

We stopped by to get food to go. We ordered the Pendleton burger, shake fries, and a root beer float. Everything was delicious! I do wish they still had Salted Caramel option for the shake fries - that was *chef's kiss*. The service was good, our orders arrived quickly.

Wanted a quick bite before my flight. The prices were very reasonable compared to everywhere else. Service was really quick, the burgers Al were great and the cheese fries were better than expected. I like that they didn't add the cheese in too if the fries so they wouldn't get soggy. The food was very fresh, burger was cooked perfectly and was very soft. I noticed and really liked that the pickles were chopped up like the onions. It gives it a better bite unlike when the pickle is sliced and you bite into the burger and the whole pickle comes out. Would eat here again.

I can trust that I'll be getting a delicious burger every time I go to Lil Woodys. They rarely last longer than 60 seconds once I open them up! Lil Woody's is great because you can order for take out or delivery if you're not feeling social.... Love it

Slooooooooooooooooow service. Do not order the "grab and go" if you don't have 30 minutes to waste waiting... and then food is cold. Not worth the $28.00 for two burgers and one fry.

We visited the White Center location for an event, I had not known about this location. There was a taproom attached with tons of beverage options, the attached eatery and a small retail area with some fun stuff. We imbibed on some wine, cider & beer options. The staff was happy to give us tasters if we were undecided. We also grabbed burgers & fries, cause why not! The fries seemed like an endless supply, not a bad thing. I ordered a fish burger (a special at the time) and it was delicious. Friends we were with got the green chile burger, which was also a hit! Fun spot to hang out, grab drinks and have casual dinner fare.

A friend of mine who lives in Japan asked me if I knew Li'l Woody's. Because the first Li'l Woody's store from Seattle opened in Tokyo Shibuya. I didn't know Li'l Woody's so I stopped by today w my hubby. We ordered 2 of Li'l Woody Burgers and Onion Rings. Big onion rings are good. Li'l Woody burgers are little greases but not bad. I will try different burgers or sandwiches next time.

The place itself is the spot especially for people watching but it's also very popular in the area so at peak times, it is hard to get a seat especially if you wanna sit at the beer side. The burgers are consistently good but to me aren't the very best. Fries are good with the queso dip. Sometimes they do have burger of the month which is also pretty good.

We are moving to this community and this is one grandbaby's favorite burger joints. So they took me there for my first time. Cute and welcoming environment. The gentleman that waited on us was, warm and accommodating. Great customer service from taking our order to helping us with to go products. The burgers were amazing, fresh homestyle and yummy big basket of fries. We will definitely make this a regular treat for my family. I see why they love it and wanted me to experience it.

This was a long overdue review. If I had to marry a chicken sandwich it'd be this one. I like how the bun didn't get too soggy after a while because I take forever to eat. Although the fries were not my favorite, I'd just prefer dipping the sandwich into Ranch (yummy !)

Good food, quick service and amazing atmosphere 10/10 would come back; The burgers always hit the spot and the milkshakes are great, parking is a bit obnoxious but you do what you gotta do for a nice juicy burger

We ordered a Big Woody and The Trotter for dinner while grabbing a drink at Beer Star. These burgers are not very good and mediocre at best. There is no seasoning on the hamburger patties and it just tastes awful. The hand cut fries were soggy. It's a no for me and I won't be back.

To be honest, I didn't actually want to eat anything here because I try not to indulge in too heavy/oily food. That being said, my partner wanted a burger and the pizza (for me) would take too long. I got the morning woody and they got the lil woody. Burger was fine...but that egg sandwich was out of this world. Tomato, two eggs, bacon, cheese AND house sauce, so good. I genuinely couldn't believe how amazing it was, flavorful, just the right amount of salt. Service was fine, they said 5-10 minutes and I would say it was pretty spot on. House cut fries were solid, no salt, queso was good too (was a bit thick) but overall tasted good.

Having gone a past few times since my past review - I'm comfortable upping my review to 5 stars despite some short falls. The service is superb, such friendly and helpful staff and they make it a joy to visit. The burgers hit the spot, and I applaud the continuous creativity and partnerships to explore new burgers. That being said, sometimes the execution on some of them leave a little to be desired. For example, the Fig and Pig had a scoop of fig jam and scoop of blue cheese not distributed evenly and proportions were off. The fries continue to be a weak point for Li'l Woodys and always turn into a greasy pile of flaccid potato strips. Although the onion rings are solid and worth noting. Overall - it's worth a visit. And the restaurant is certainly casual where you bus your own table. As a plus it's next to a beer store where you can bring your meal and enjoy a beer with it there.

The collab was going on for the week and there was a chance that it may sell out. I gave the restaurant a call before heading out to see if they still had it in stock. The gentleman that answered said there's two left and that he could reserve it for me if I wanted. I didn't even know that was an option so I definitely asked to have one saved. This person went above and beyond for us! When we arrived, I let him know my name and that I had reserved one. My husband got the regular lil woody burger. When we got the order, the croissant bun actually wasn't put on so it had to be redone. Not a big deal, they added the bun on. If I'm being honest I'm giving this 5 star review based on the service. I wish there was more honey aioli. I ended up dipping this in our fry sauce. The croissant bun was really good though! Definitely the best part. Btw, their onion rings were really good - not too greasy or heavy.

Great for just a classic cheeseburger. Their milkshakes are also so amazing!! I ordered to go, so things were a little messy. I had a GF bun and it was ok, fell apart a lot. I ordered fries on the side and they didn't put any ketchup in my bag overall a tasty burger though!

I'm not usually in this neighborhood but was craving a burger so I chose Li'l Woodys. Ordered The fig and pig, side of fries, Dutch chocolate shake and some fry sauce. The Fig and Pig - ordered without mayo and added grilled onions. Bun didn't hold up well to moisture so it was a little "damp". The flavoring is what I was looking for - sweet & savory get me all the time. Dutch chocolate shake - worth the $6! Real chocolate flavoring, thick and creamy. This is what a milkshake should taste like! Fry sauce - mustard heavy with a little spice. Good sauce but won't pay for the extra cost. Fries - nope! Limp fries don't do it for me. I like my fries crispy and no skins.

This place has been a go to of mine for some time now and I will say it has yet to disappoint. The staple burgers are delicious and encompasses a wide variety of flavors to ensure there is a burger that every one will love, and with an ever changing special burger of the week you are guaranteed to leave satisfied. The sides are the perfect size for sharing and are made fresh to order. The ambiance is great and the staff have always been friendly. The parking can be a little difficult but for a burger this good in Seattle it's par for the course. I can't recommend Lil Woody's enough!

New fave local burger spot. Dethroned Zippys ever since they changed their buns. Food: I always build my own burger. I like that the burger is a good size, I don't feel hungry for more when I'm done. Also love that there's a lettuce wrap option when I'm being carb conscious. But more times than not I'll get bun which is actually one of my fave parts of this burger. I think it's brioche? It's just so tasty. Lastly I hate that you have to pay extra for sauce but that fry sauce is bomb. Atmosphere: hate the parking situation but once I'm inside I forget all about it. There's enough dine in chairs, is never crowded and is attached to a bar. Service: Seattle normal. Overall: this is where I go when I'm craving a burger in west Seattle.

Everything was good. My mom and I went today, for the first time...we each got a build your own burger... mostly because I always like to taste the actual patty before diving into the specialties. So, I got a classic burger with bacon, American cheese, grilled onions and pickles...all which were a dollar extra. Mom got a bacon burger with pepper jack, we shared a basket of hand-cut fries, onion rings and split a chocolate shake. The guy was very nice, he brought out our shakes in separate cups, and brought our food to us, even though we had a little pager. The fries are amazing, the onion rings are good, but the burger had both raw onions and the grilled onions that I requested...that could have been my fault but we both had to scrape those off. I guess when we built our own burgers, we assumed that what we ordered would be all that was in it. After all of that, I we finally dug in and it was good...a little salty for my taste and again, too many spices in the patty, but my mom really enjoyed it...that being said, my mom over spices her burgers too. All in all, it was a great experience and we will definitely go again, I will probably have the chicken sandwich next time, though.

This place in the past has been hot or miss for us but: the fries are always super crispy and delicious and they give you a ton of them. This week they have a special with fried chicken and sliced mango and it was soooooo good I can't even tell you. It's called the island something. Gotta keep supporting your local business in this post-pandemic world where food service employees are hard to come by. Keep showing up for them, like we have been, and you'll end up with some amazing food and service like we did today! Really appreciate all the hard work and dedication.

Great food, easy to step up and order. They're connected to Beer Star so it's easy to find a table, grab a beer and enjoy a meal. I had the Pyanggang fried chicken sandwich and it was DELISH. Would've taken pics if I could've put it down for 2 seconds but it was that good!

They have definitely downgraded the burger patty here. They are now the smallest patty I've ever seen. Would compare to a dicks burger in size but 3 times the cost. What happened woodys? You used to have big juicy delicious burgers???? Trash! I feel ripped off paying 24$ for a burger and onion rings and a drink. I even went back up to the counter and asked if this was a mistake? There is nothing about this burger that makes it a BIG WOODY. Only thing big was the heaps of lettuce. More a salad burger than anything. The old burger pics accurately represent what they used to sell. Now it's sooooo thin and tiny. 1 star won't be back unless they go back to what made them in the beginning.

Ever since this spot opened up, I've been wanting to go but everytime I think about a burger, I get a lil bit worried about that uncomfortable, bloated, heavy feeling after eating a burger. So one morning, after an hour long cardio i said, it'll be okay, let's get that burger! So, I got there a quarter after they've opened. Immediately noticed that the restaurant was clean and staff were at the register ready to take your order. After glancing up at their menu for a quick minute, I asked for the Lil' Woody and their onion rings. My usual go-to are fries but the server informed me their fries arent crispy. I'm definitely not a fan of soft fries! After ordering, I went to the self-serve soda machine. It was nice that there were so many options, unlike the old-school ones with just 5 sodas and a water. I decided to go with the Minute Maid pink lemonade, it was a nice change from the usual fizzy sodas. After about 5 minutes or so, my buzzer started going off. I walked over to the counter and got my tray of food. I took my 1st bite of the burger and was shocked! It wasnt the usual grease dripping burger I thought it would be. I had to unwrap the paper, so I can take a better look at it. Sure enough, the buns were still soft and fluffy; not soaked with fatty oil! I was immediately a fan! Now, on to the onion rings. I picked one up and it was still HOT! I took a bite and perfection! I hate it when the onion gets pulled out when you bite into it, but the onion rings here did not have that problem. One bite and the onion on each side of the bite, bit right off! Also, the ring itself was super crispy! Loved every bite. After eating the full meal, I didnt feel crappy at all as I would at some other burger joint. It was a much cleaner burger than most I've had. I was so happy with it, I actually came back a month later and this time, server told me that they can double fry the fries so it'll not be so "limp"! Haha.. so, I tried it this time and it was alright. It wasnt crispy the way I like it but it wasn't "limp", for sure! Overall, I really enjoyed their food here. I'd recommend coming here and giving it a shot, especially, if you're like me and just want a simple and not so heavy burger.

I ordered the Fig burger with a few add ons. It was exactly the taste experience I was looking for! There was a perfectly balanced spicy and sweet combo. The patty itself was cooked well. Solid bun, though having had other buns before, I wish it were crispier. I ordered with a side of fries and the fries took my review down a star. Too thin, didn't retain their heat or shape. Not a good crunch. I baked and seasoned myself. Good value. Good pricing.

Good selection of specialty burgers. The regular lil woody burger is also a good choice. I recently tried the smoked out burger. It was delicious, with the Chipotle Mayo. However, the onion was not sliced it was a large chunk, like the onion was just sliced in half, and the whole half was on my burger. If there were sweet Pickles on the burger, it would have been excellent. We've had the fig and the pig burger, it's pretty good. It's definitely a specialty burger. We also have tried the pendleton. It's a typical burger w/ an onion ring, bbq sauce and cheese. It's pretty good. We are never really disappointed with the burgers. However, the malts lack the malt flavor for us. Overall, I'd recommend their burgers and fries are pretty decent. We share a basket between the two of us.

Excellent burgers and I recently discovered they have a decent selection of beers on tap....I've had the fig burger, the "fig and the pig" and it was very unique. Today I had "the trotter"...a wonderful burger! They are very generous with fries and they have excellent service.

This is my first time getting Li'l Woody's. I ordered Chef Kenji Lopez-Alt's K2FC. I was super excited to try their burgers/sandwiches with the special event that they're hosting. It was probably the worst fried chicken sandwich I've ever had in the Seattle area. The chicken was super greasy, slightly burnt, and lacks flavor. I see the sauce but can't really taste it. The more I bite, the more disappointed I get. The French fries were absolutely terrible as well as it was super soggy and limp as well as lacking seasoning. Extremely disappointed for the entire experience and probably won't return in the future.

Ordered my food for pickup & it was ready before I got there. *extra star for that lol Or maybe that really factors into the real score bc my food got cold quick. I ordered the Pendleton and was a lil disappointed that the onion ring didn't hold up. I ended up just eating regular onion & bbq w/a cheeseburger. Fries were ok, again maybe they'd taste better if they were still warm? They actually taste pretty similar to Dick's fries but Woody's give's you more, so that's a plus I guess. I'll try dining in next time. I wanna try the shake & chicken sandwich.

Da Burger place is Da BOMB!!!!!! So I get a link emailed to me about this place and after reviewing the photos I said I'm game. FRANK jumps into the BMW and cruises out to White Center for an afternoon delight. Ok it's a nice shared joint with another restaurant & tap house serving brew. You have a wall of choices and equal as many options for additional condiments to be added to your master piece. Also several refrigerators packed with specialty sodas and beer on tap. Also I'm a huge fan of MANNYS Beer and the have that on tap ( praise the lord ). Now I decided to order the CAP HILL Fried Chicken Sandwich. Wow, the perfect chicken sandwich with exploding flavors from its southern friend chicken batter used to create there signature flavor. Lil Woodys manage to cook the chicken to perfection They sliced the chicken thinner than most sandwiches which added a crispy texture to it and created very moist, salty piece of meat which was exploding of flavors. Frank added to the chicken & the bun some bacon & cheese ( I recommend doing ) to enhance and bring out more flavor. Fries & onion rings must be added to round out your meal and there darn good one that are thin and crispy with salt. The burgers are also amazing and seasoned very flavorful. You biggest issue with burger to figuring out which configuration you desire. If your craving a burger you'll find this place well worth the adventure. It gave FRANK a woody so I'll be back.

I ordered takeout takeout spending $60 on dinner. 5 minutes down the road, realized there were no onion rings in the bag. Headed back to get my rings, given a buzzer to wait. Waited 10 mins, still no onion rings. Meanwhile, 2 other orders pass with onion rings on their trays. While I waited for them to fix the error my families food got cold and soggy. I checked in after the 2nd onion ring order passed and was offered a refund. Really terrible way to make something right. Didn't wait for a refund (waste of additional time), just left. In retrospect should have brought the entire order back in for a refund. Kids normally love their burgers and wouldn't eat their burger (even warmed up). Reheated fries and burgers (especially when you have to remove lettuce and tomatoes) are disappointing to say the least. This was absolutely our worst Woody's experience. Avoid takeout...

I've been eyeing the fig and the pig burger for months now and finally got a chance to try it after a really rough day. My friend and I came here after a memorial because we hadn't eaten all day and knew it would be best to consume something before the rest of the evening. Didn't really know what to expect with the burger, it sounds really good and I wasn't trying to hype myself up too much but it was a pretty tasty burger. Was not greasy as I was expecting and flavors were all there without being too overwhelming or salty. I didn't get any fries because i had read they weren't crispy fries but i did steal some of my friends and they're not too bad. The girls working were really nice and service was fairly quick for how busy they were. I'll definitely have to come back again to try something else because ever since I had them two weeks ago I've been craving a burger more often and that's rather strange for me haha.

Solid 3.5 stars.. I've been eyeing this place since it first opened, but never ventured to come here because I always end up at zippy's (2 streets over) when I'm craving a burger. I caved in today and needed to try it for once! For starters, they let me phone in my order prior to coming! (Thank you for that!) I literally work 2 minutes away and sometimes don't want to order then wait for another 10 minutes which cuts into my lunch time. The guy on the phone - super nice! Didn't hesitate when I asked and trusted me enough that I wouldn't bail. (Damn you zippy's, you gave me trouble before about phone orders, that you're "too busy" and having to pay up front first.. I won't forget that you a-hole) Anyway, super impressed with the inside. Spacious and plenty of tables, also has a pizza joint connected and then whenever beer star is open, can bring food & beer into each other's establishment (how cool is that?!). Glad we ordered ahead because there was a few people in front of us when we got there. Food came right out as we were paying, yay! I opted for the 'smoked out' burger and added my egg (of course). The burger was bigger than I expected, pretty good but it did not leave me in a food coma like I was hoping. (Usually occurs when the food hits the spot lmao). The egg and all the sauce/condiments did no justice in complimenting each other. Also ordered a basket of fries to share and that was plentiful. I suggest probably ordering a side of fries since they give so much & you save yourself a buck! Fries were nothing fancy, thin and soggy.. kind of like dick's fries a bit. Overall, zippy's burgers over lil woody's imo..

I love little woody's, but their prices, ooh wee! We left paying $40 for two burgers, onion rings and shakes. It's not THAT good. For that reason, I don't eat hear often. If you feel you must try the hype, I do recommend trying at least once, but you can find tastiest food for less. You are left with a feeling of "I have to finish this", shoving every piece of food down and slurping up the thick shake to avoid throwing any of the $40 burger meal away.

Really bad fries and bland specials. The fries were greasy. The potatoes were the wrong type to make fries. The flabby, thin fries were at times burnt tasting. I got the chicken special because the person behind the counter said the chicken was the best and suggested the special. The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy (or at least looked it). I couldn't taste the fried chicken. The cheese felt like it was there but couldn't tell you what it was. The bun was greasy but no other characteristics come to mind. The words disappointing aren't strong enough to explain how I feel about this food at this location.

I've had writers block the last month for whatever reason (breaking up with the significant other, general alcohol abuse, and malaise. what you going to do?). Its why I haven't blessed ya'll with that cooked crack like my prolific run earlier this year (two ROTD, and adoration of thousands, you're welcome). I haven't come up with a banger of an idea to start a review with so here we are...can I get a ghost writer like Drake does? Or is that frowned upon on Yelp? Let your boy know. Is Li'l Woody's considered a Seattle/PNW staple/icon? I know they have a few establishments around the city, and I initially went to their Ballard location a couple of years ago. Not having been to one since, I was pleasantly surprised when they popped up in White Center in my beloved Beer Star. I really love that they are connected to the tap house. Its convenient to walk a few feet, order, and go back to your brew. They give you those pager squares, so you don't have to sit around and wait for your order. I had a pager pager in the late 90's, and tragically only a few people would hit me up cause I was kind a loser. Well, not much has changed, but why delve into my life's shortcomings...Jesus, can I get a double IPA over here Beer Star? I've eaten here about a half dozen times, and its always been excellent. Their burgers are always cooked well (not well done), buns chewy (good texture), and they use quality ingredients. They also have sandwiches, various fries, and onion rings. They have an order of fries where they give you a shake as a dipping sauce. I was little leery the first time I ordered it, but its the old sweet, and savory for the win. They're literally called, "crack," and just like Pookie in New Jack City you too might be fiendin' after a few hits. I love the burgers here, and being in the same building as my favorite tap house is a big plus. Welcome to White Center Lil Woody's! Now, time to get back into my writing trap, break out the pyrex, and get to cooking up more of these reviews for the culture! Salute people!

"Big woody" burger was very small. Fried chicken was soggy. French fries were soggy and oily. Cheese sauce was excellent. $6 milkshake was 12oz. Don't eat here. Herfeys is better

We ordered while we were at Beer Star. It took less than 15 mins for it to be ready. I got the pickled fig blue cheese bacon burger and added pickled jalapeños. It was pretty tasty but I was craving more of a blue cheese flavor. My husband was excited to see a NM Green Chile burger on the menu. But as we read more - we realized it wasn't 100% true for us New Mexicans. Queso doesn't belong on a NM Green Chile burger. Instead, we did a "build your own" and made a true New Mexican Green Chile burger - Cheddar or American cheese, whole Hatch Green Chile (we prefer it medium spice level :), mayo, lettuce and tomato - sliced onion optional. We ordered a basket of fries with the chipotle mayo (with a hint of lemon) and the fry sauce. Both sauces were really good. It could be because our food was bagged up - but I prefer my fries a little more crispy - but they were fresh, salted well, and a lot. We will give it another try when we are in the area. We are just happy to see whole Hatch Green Chiles on the menu.

They have hamburgers. And the burgers are quite good. Also they have fries and onion rings. Those are also good. In conclusion: milkshakes.

Even though my experience at beer star wasn't great, Lil Woodys was a real nice treat. I think that it's a great idea to have a burger place attached to a pub that doesn't provide food. They benefit off of each other. The waitress and cashier was extremely friendly. Compared to the level of customer service at beer star, she was nice and patient while waiting for me to figure out what to order. I ordered a lil woody burger and a side of fries. I believe it came out to $11 or around there. They give you a buzzer which I thought was helpful so that you can walk around and not just wait for it to be finished. When I got the food, it was great. I had munched on my friends queso fries earlier that night and the regular fries was just as good. They were crispy and salty at the same time. You could tell they were hand cut because they were different sizes and the skin was still on some of them. The burger itself was a good size for the price and the patty was moist. I also appreciated they used tillamook cheese which is my favorite local brand since I went to School in Oregon. Highly recommend to go here or to any of the other ones!

Fabulous roast beef sandwich. Caramelized onions, provolone...what's no to love! Fries were fresh, so don't expect crispy. They were tasty, think baked potatoe taste.
