New Burbs Burgers Ballard — Restaurant in Seattle

I considered Old Burbs the best burger in Seattle and would eat there several times a month (okay lets be real, it was once a week). When I heard they were reopening as New Burbs I was ecstastic and raced right down opening day. I've eaten there a few times now in hopes that it would get better with time, but alas it never does.

You can tell the new owner wants to excell, however he keeps changing things that puts New Burbs further and further away from the glory of Old Burbs.

New Burbs doesn't have the same crispy, charred smash patties that Old Burbs did. They have little to no Maillard reaction which, let's be real, differentiates good burgers from mid burgers. The new owner also just upped the patties to 4oz which, imo, is too much meat for a truly crispy, lacey, scrumptious smash patty. Additionally the burger are now dripping in sauce which sounds like a good idea in theory, but really it just makes it difficult to eat.

As far as fries, you used to get an abundance of delectable golden shoe strings at Old Burbs that was always enough for me and my partner to share. Now we each need to order our own, which wouldn't be an issue if they were just as good... but they are limp, colorless and slightly starchy from being under cooked. LEAVE THEM IN THE FRYER FOR A ANOTHER MINUTE OR TWO DANG IT.

I really want this place to succeed, but I feel like in order to do that thet need to leave other things off the menu that don't belong there and focus on making a limited menu as good as it used to be. I wouldn't even blink twice at the price changes if the quality was the same as Old Burbs. As the saying goes... if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Is it something I would eat after a few drinks at a bar? Sure. Is it something I would go out of my way for when I am craving a...

I came to Burbs Burgers hearing new management had taken over. I was intrigued to figure out how this new management would treat this beloved establishment. But to my despair, Burbs had fumbled their gleaming chance to come back bigger and better and instead delivered me a dreary burger and uninteresting fries. What once was a high value restaurant, has since underdelivered even to its low price in value. This affordable burger restaurant will only run you a little over 10 dollars for a burger and fries, but I would hardly say it’s worth your dollar. In an age of value meals at fast food restaurants, the only reason you would consider a similarly dull meal from burbs for a couple more dollars, is to find refuge from the ultra-processed ingredients of the...
