I've only tried 5 guys once.. literally disliked it.. not.. "I don't like this as much as another burger".. it was flavorless, soggy thin bun.. not that special toppings.

I threw it out.

But which place has the best shakes? The quality of the burger is probably third for me, after the shake and a great pile of onion rings.

I really liked the shakes at Red Mill Burgers

REDMILL!!! Five Guys gets a negative score just for the fact that they don't have milkshakes!!

I've never been to red mill... will have to check it out

 

[MisterNugNug]

IF y'all like burgers try 8oz in Capitol Hill. 1401 Broadway Seattle, WA 98122

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Hmm, I'll need to find a Red Mill. For Seattle-based places, I've had:

Kidd Valley - great rings, good shakes, good burgers
Dick's - okay fries, okay shakes, weak burgers
Li'l Woody's - okay rings and fries, don't think they have shakes, good burgers
8oz Burger Bar - alright fries, no shakes, great burgers, attractive bartender dudes

I'm down to try it again.. could have been an anomaly..

But a large part of their appeal is already covered by our numerous local chains that have been using fresh cut fries, never frozen patties, more exotic toppings, etc..

So I guess I Just don't get the excitement too. We live in a mecca for that type of food and some giant national chain isn't going to outdo our local ones on that aspect.

If you love the flavor I can't argue with that though.. but that wasn't really there for me personally. They smash their burger patties on the grill for one.. makes a pretty big difference.

I've already seen a 5 guys in a shopping centre nearby. Will remember to try it next time I go there.

i see what you're saying. i'd probably say lil woody's is my favorite burger spot around. amazing burgers imo. but i still eat big macs, cuz theyre delicious. and dicks is good too. there's a place for every burger in my life.

hahaha, i've not noticed that .. there used to be a server there who always wore a cowboy hat though, he cracked me up. o_o

Onion rings suck.

Onion rings suck.

nobody believes that.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Actually, I think the best I've had here was at Lucky Diner in Belltown: half-pound chorizo burger with sweet potato fries and a boozy milkshake. Hnnng.

Yeah I don't mind me a fake-salty burger either on occasion.. the simplicity of McDonalds cheeseburger is sometimes what I crave.

This is way more correctness than I usually expect from Macusers

Double derail combo

 

[jb1234]

Yeah I haven't seen anything related to Google Fiber in Seattle.

Any progress on the Comcast monopoly around here is great though.

Comcast keeps raising their prices on me. It's really starting to piss me off but of course, there's nothing I can do about it so I'll continue being their bitch...

 

[coldvein]

everytime there's an online burger debate, burger sales probably spike a little bit. we're playing right into their hands. i want a burger now.

Steelhead Diner's burger with poutine is pretty awewsome.

 

[luckyboyceo]

I dig Five Guys. Only eaten there twice but both times it was solid. It's awesome in a greasy puyallup fair food kind of way.

There are definitely better burgers in Seattle though. Red Mill and Uneeda in Fremont come to mind.

Hmm, I'll need to find a Red Mill. For Seattle-based places, I've had:

Dude, what?! You haven't been to Red Mill. I don't know what you're doing for dinner tonight but that's where you should go.

Queen Anne without a car probably makes it hard to get to one of the Red Mills.

 

[luckyboyceo]

The 15 or 18 bus will take you pretty close to two of them.

Regardless, I can sympathize having lived in Magnolia without a car for awhile. That was impossible.

 

[freenudemacusers]

So about this meet

Yeah, I can't see that being doable. Queen Anne, sure. Magnolia? Yikes.

Hey, I'm just waiting for everyone else to chime in.

There's a Red Mill in Interbay not that far from Magnolia. Bike it!

[White Man]

I take a hiatus from being a vegetarian for the duration of a Red Mill visit.

That would be something worth taking a day off for.

my preference is for the 5th. i'll go along with whatever is decided tho.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Capitol Hill area again? Seems like a pretty central location. I'm open to suggestions of course.

Once we figure the meet out more I'll make the thread.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

With work being the way it is and school starting back up that week, it's not likely I'll be able to make this one.

this is absolutely tragic news however. c'mon son!

Onion rings suck.

True story: I made a chow run for some soldiers in my office when we were deployed, and brought back burgers for the guys. This one sergeant got ticked off that I would dare include onions on his burger, claiming they were absolutely disgusting.

The next day I walk in on him chowing down on a big pile of onion rings. I confront him and he says, "These are onion rings, sir. EVERYONE loves onion rings."

In conclusion: you are wrong.

 

[D23]

got a blizzard warning on my phone.. lol

heard we'll b seeing some snow on monday night/tuesday

yeeeaaa

 

[nVidiot_Whore]

If it snows I'm taking my checkbook down the street and buying a second vehicle.

Bought my G37s the year before the all-wheel-drive G37x came out.. wish I'd waited a year.

 

[Evenball]

looking like it's gonna be bad around here in the Convergence Zone monday night. I'm glad I only live 1 block away from a safeway.

We might get some wet snow. Unless things change, Snowpocalypse this is not.

And yeah, I got the NWS blizzard alert, too. It's for the mountain passes.

 

[soco]

Onion rings > sweet potato fries

I might be able to join in, if i turn down my whore level.



I'm also surprised at the lack of really good burger places in the area. Red Mill is decent, but I haven't tried the shakes. Then again, I guess it depends on how much you want to spend on a burger.
