Burger Hut — Restaurant in Seattle

I wanted to give this place a try so I stopped in to check out the menu. It seemed as if things were decently priced, and as I has already eaten I wanted something lighter, so I ordered some fries.

This establishment requires you to spend at least $5 to run a credit payment, so I ordered both fries and some onion rings since they seemed fairly priced. My bill should have come to $5.25.

However, the charge was more than $7. When I asked the person who took my order, he said that the menu board was old, and those were the old prices. So... some false advertising upfront. Then the employee added, "I am not the owner. Those are the old prices."

So I am waiting for my $8 snack since I tipped a dollar to not be rude, and the receipt I received from them said that I should be getting seasoned fries. However, there was barely a hint of salt on these perfectly cooked fries... let alone absolutely zero seasoning. A sore disappointment.

I could have spent those same $8 across the street on Aladdin Char Burger's wings and fries for $10 and the quality would have been 5☆.

The onion rings were cooked in darker oil than the fries and at a lower temperature, causing them to have a dark color and hold onto more oil. They also became chewy very quickly as they cooled, which was really unfortunate.

The atmosphere is so dreary and run down. Cracked and dirty floor tiles adorn the floors, covered by a non-slip kitchen mat. An old 90's era cash register sits defunct right next to the grill, which sits at a 30° angle. The decor looks like it hasn't been updated since the '80s, though a sign on the outside and the inside of this establishment says, "Grand Opening December."

All-in-all, the owner needs to assess their business practices and clean up the place. Correct pricing would be a start (and not just the black sharpie corrections already on the menu board). I am honestly surprised that they have a "GOOD" health safety rating...

Little edit: (strawberry milkshake tasted sour almost like raspberry and had skin of some fruit that tasted like cherry..?)

I've yet to try the milkshakes or anything that's unique to the place, so take this with a grain of salt. There are a few pros to point out immediately though - they're open relatively late with few other restaurants on the Ave and they're very close to campus. Experience was fairly average.

I'll definitely compliment the prices here, they're fairly low for burgers in the area and lower than your typical high end chain. I need to come back to try more specialized options that make this place unique and more of the Indian burger style, something I've yet to try. Because of these factors, I'm sure there'll be a change in my opinion after, but for now I'm judging solely based on the fast food burger experience.

I stopped by after night practice as they were one of the few spots still open. Was a bit overwhelmed by the many choices and wanted more protein so opted for a triple deluxe burger. Snagged onion rings as well since why not. The triple deluxe is essentially three patties and three cheese, literally what you expect. Tasted like most other burgers, so no complaints there. All burgers come with lettuce, tomato, onions, ketchup, and mayo alongside their differences. Burger is somewhere around $7 or $8, didn't see a price listed and don't remember exactly. It's one of the more expensive burgers which makes sense as it is 3 patties, the others range from $5 to $6 so that's fairly cheap.

Onion rings disappointed me at first as I got 8.5 small onion rings, but then I remembered the price point being $3. Honestly, not the worst. While small, the price isn't absurd so value wasn't bad, I'd opt for other sides though (curly fries and mozzarella sticks catch...

When I walked into this place I felt like I was in a cartoon. It was around 10/11pm at night and the place was packed with people speaking languages I couldn’t understand (presumably Hindi from the few words I could pick up)

This is not a place I would pick to walk into had I just passed it on the street but I was recommended it by a good friend of mine that swears by their Tikka Masala Chicken Sandwich. I finally had the chance to go in and after being pushed around a bit I finally got to the counter to order.

The guy at the counter asks me “what do you want” and I ask for two chicken masala burgers and he asks me how spicy I want it? I ask back “what kind of scale is there? Just make it so spicy that I regret being born” the guy raises his eyebrow and presumably writes something down. “Are you sure? It’s pretty spicy.” After looking me down once or twice. Keep in mind I’m white. Like recovering Make-A-Wish kid white. And this is the most prejudiced thing I have experienced and it was hilarious. I said “yeah I’ve heard that before make it spicy”

So we finally get the burger and I try it out. The thing is not spicy at all! Either he just gave me the “medium” or their spice is very weak! Next time I’m going to have to have my Pakistani friend order for me, but the chicken masala was pretty damn good. The rest of the ingredients I could tell were purchased at a cosco; kraft cheese and the cheap burger patties. But it all worked well together and if I was drunk the meal woulda been 10/10 (especially so if...
