Shadowline Burgers & Brews — Restaurant in Sequim

Best Burger I’ve Ever Had! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

During our summer family vacation to the Olympic National Park, we stayed in the town of Sequim, WA, and let me tell you, stumbling upon Shadowline Burgers & Brews was one of the best food decisions we’ve ever made.

As a Texan and lifelong burger lover, I make it a point to try burgers across the country… and this one? Hands-down the BEST burger I’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned, expertly grilled smash burgers that are truly mouthwatering. My wife and 12-year-old daughter both got their own burgers, and they instantly agreed: magical is the only word for it.

A quick heads-up: the menu states that their “elevated” burgers, sandwiches, and salads don’t allow substitutions, but don’t let that scare you off! I was able to modify my non-elevated Bacon Double Cheeseburger without any issue. The staff was more than happy to accommodate my request.

You have to try their sweet potato fries, they’re crispy, flavorful, and honestly addictive. Even their chicken tenders blew us away… my younger daughter said they were the best she’s ever had, and she wasn’t wrong.

The service was top-notch, from the warm greeter at the door to the kind and attentive waitress. The restaurant was spotless, with a clean, comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere. Tons of seating, easy parking, and great accessibility for our daughter with disabilities… all huge wins.

As we were heading out of town the next day, we were crushed knowing we wouldn't get to eat there again… and then, surprise! We found their pop-up booth at the July 4th fireworks celebration and practically sprinted to order more burgers. The staff was just as kind, and I even got to meet one of the owners… he was genuine, down-to-earth and friendly.

If I lived in Sequim, I'd eat here every single day. This is not fast food — this is crafted food, and it's worth every second of the wait. Ignore the negative reviews from folks expecting a drive-thru experience — Shadowline is in a...

I live in town, been here multiple times, no more.

I just paid $18 for a patty melt that had more grease and cheese than patty. I am fully aware of a patty melt, I understand their “smash” aspect, once again…been here multiple times and I’m 50 years old. Always slow, even when empty. Soda, $4 and was watered down. It wasn’t a special soda, it was a house fountain cola.

Overpriced garbage, period.

You want it to be good, it just isn’t. Why?

Because they don’t understand that with food, being stingy makes your food suck. I’m not saying some big American over the top burger is needed. Just have some damn beef in it. I can not overstate the obscenely low amount of beef in this. And yes, I paid full price, would not accept a discount and tipped well.

We are just done with their BS, they think they are special and they could be if they understood that increasing profit by subtraction of costs can actually have the worst effect if the cuts come from the wrong place. It might even be extremely false weight advertisements on their menu, but I can not confirm that.

This wasn’t a bad experience, it’s just this place kinda sucked and now really sucks. And it could be so awesome.

BTW quit being pretentious, allow substitutions, it’s called service. You charge so much you should cook that bad boy tableside and have a damn bar with all the fixings. Now I know why they have a six patty burger. It seems crazy, six patties? Nah that’s MAYBE a triple burger. Maybe.

Don’t support places that gouge you, your only vote is your money. Also stop with the tables side checkout, the server putting the machine in your face asking for their tip is just cringy and degrading to all parties involved. Each time you put your servers in a weird place, especially if the customer wasn’t happy with the...

Wow, so many rules for a simple burger joint. Went there on a Sunday with a party of 4. It clearly had been busy earlier as there were multiple tables waiting to be cleaned. They told us 20ish minutes for a table, no biggie, we'll go to the bar. Hostess told us there is no standing allowed in the bar so as not to crowd the place. Walk into the bar and there's 3 stools open (but only 2 next to each other) and a 2 top table. Asked the bartender if we could just have the ladies sit and the guys stand behind their stools. She said no problem so we did that for 30 seconds (and it was not crowding anyone or blocking any walkway) when the hostess told the bartender that was not allowed. I said no problem, we can just get a drink and go wait on the giant gated patio. She said no, the patio was closed. I said then I guess we can get a drink and go wait back at the reception area, (which was shoulder to shoulder with people waiting and actually clogging walkways for the servers) and again the answer was no. So to be clear I said, you have 5 open seats in this bar and you won't sell us a drink, we can't get a drink to enjoy in the lobby while we wait for 20 minutes. She again said yes, sorry I just can't help you. Had it not been for the other couple we were with who really wanted to try the place I'd have walked out then. So we go outside and sit on the curb for 25 minutes because it was so crowded at the reception area. Food was decent, a bit pricey for what it is. Service was just ok. I get that staffing is short and we all need more patience, but such arbitrary and stupid rules just don't make any sense. I've never tried so hard to spend my money at an...
