Burger Addict Prime Steak Burgers — Restaurant in Renton

Burgers were pretty solid but Mac and cheese had way too much oil in it, you could hardly taste anything else. Their truffle Mac and cheese sounds great on paper sure, but no truffles can be found anywhere inside the dish. For what you pay, you for sure think that at least a few truffle shavings will be nicely shaved on top. Instead, it is just heaps of "truffle oil" drowning mediocre, oddly penne, bog standard Mac and cheese. Oil and cheese do not seem to mix well.

Overall the food is okay, but what really made me question going back was the abrasiveness and overall perplexing state of the employee that I interacted with that day. I called in my order no problem and he was friendly and all was good. I then go pickup my order and he says "here you go, burger and mac & cheese" and gives me total. I say "yep that's right, but also 1 more burger". He said "nope, just 1 burger and the Mac." Even though I for sure ordered 2 specific burgers, he insisted I was wrong and said he could make me the second burger but it would take a while. We went back and forth for a minute or two before I just decided this was stupid and just paid and left. I'm sitting in my car and say to myself, "wait, the total I just paid seems more along the lines of the 3 items I had originally ordered", so I check the bag and what do you know, both burgers and Mac are all there. I had to stop for a second and question what on earth was going on in the head of the guy that just checked me out. He was super agitated and extremely insistant that this bag of food only contained 1 burger and that I was wrong. So I just chalked it up to him having a bad day and moved on. Didn't want to go back inside and make a Mountain out of a mole hill. It was just curious and kind of funny how it all went down and all was fine the whole time while this guy was getting all worked up over something he, in reality, did correctly. This was one of those Twilight Zone moments that I still ponder from time to time. I digress.

Annnnnyways, final verdict, above average burgers with very odd customer service. I'll get over it and may even go back if I can naviagte their sketchy location (on basically the side of a highway). Took me 20 minutes to merge out of their lot. Sounds like more work than the burgers are worth with the combo of tricky location and odd customer service. I'm not sure I want to take on a life pondering twilight zone conundrum everytime I want a burger. Now I know where to go for both an out of mind cerebral experiance and a...

You Had Me At Aioli!

I don't know how the humble town of Renton became blessed to have Michelin Star Chef Marcus Olsen open up a burger joint, but I'm so glad we did. Having recently bought a house in Renton, I've driven by the hole-in-the-wall location of Burger Addict several times and finally stopped in this week. When I started reading the menu inside, I knew this was no ordinary burger joint.

Top sirloin steak from a local hormone and pesticide-free farm is freshly ground at this restaurant every single day. Everything is made fresh … from the fresh cut real-potato fries to the gelato shakes (he even uses my favorite baking chocolate Ghirardelli) to the insanely gooey delicious (and patented!) burger addict cheese. But time stood still for me when I saw the freshly made gourmet parsley aioli and garlic aioli. Clearly, this is no ordinary burger joint.

Your burger will take time to prepare, as all truly honest wholesome food does. So take a seat, relax and try not to have your mouth water while the incredibly delicious aromas of perfectly cooked meat invade your senses. I had a wonderful chat with Chef Marcus while I waited. A successful international chef who’s worked in London, Paris and New York, he has a true passion for perfectly prepared food with fresh ingredients from natural sustainable sources (yet none of the arrogance you may expect from such a renowned chef).

So how was my burger? Well, it was extremely hard not to touch it while I drove the car home. When I finally bit into it, my first thought was “Burger Bliss” … you can truly taste the sirloin steak … the cheese was divine … and that garlic aioli made my toes curl. This was no ordinary burger; it was a masterpiece. I always order burgers well done and to make a well done 10 ounce burger juicy is a true test. It was all that and more. Chef Marcus certainly has a winner here … and it couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

I will definitely be going back as I’ve yet to taste the freshly cut fries or the gelato milkshakes (freshly made gelato every day). I hope everyone takes the time to patronize this restaurant as we are oh-so-lucky to have a chef like this in our humble midst. Bravo to you and your crew, Chef Marcus! I wish you boundless success and am so thankful you’re...

Do not go there. i used to work there. I would not eat anything i did not prepare myself. Almost everything on the mnenu is a lie. Most of what you are paying for, you do not get. The owner, Marcus, doesnt pay taxes. He took out child support from my pay, and did not send it in. I almost went to jail for nonpaymet. That i did pay. On numerous occasions he told customers to get out and nevere come back, rather than giving them what they paid for.Beef trimmings from Cash n Carry. Not top sirloin. Not black Angus. Not GMO free. The Burger Addict Cheese is Monterey Jack from Cash n Carry in tukwilla - that cant be found anywhere else? Hundteds of places buy at cash n Carry. White onions, not Walla Walla. Usually Oregon or Washington potatoes. But I am from WA. So good. Beef is ground daily. With flies landing on it because the kitchen is so hot and disgustingly dirty. Black mold in kitchen. I was hospitalized because of black mold.There are no truffles. You are paying a whole lot for a drizzle of truffle oil. No truffle cheese for that horrendously expensive burger. All those burgers are severely underweight as there is no scale to check them. The chicken is not sous vide and is often weeks past due date along with the salad ingredients. The fake hollandaise has raw egg yolks a month old. That could really make you sick. The Vegan can be weeks old too. Not vegan. Fryer oil is black and a month old. The bun has eggs. There is almost nothing on the menu that is not a lie and taking advantage of consumers by someone who claims to be a chef. Listen to how much they talk. If the food is good, you don't have to convince people of it. You are paying for Top Sirloin when you get beef trimmings from Cash n Carry. That is what is left over from the nice cuts of beef you see in the store. It is not from Monroe, unless Monroe is a person who works at Cash n Carry. It is not 100% Angus. Ask Cash n Carry where it is from. You are quite likely to get sick ordering there. You are paying about twice what your burger is worth. It isn't even chuck roast. I know this. I...
