Great State Burger

$ | South Lake Union

This modern twist on the classic American burger joint doubles as a love letter to the Pacific Northwest—and proof that fast food can be thoughtful. Organic, grass-fed beef is ground in-house, milkshakes are made with local ice cream, and the nostalgic crinkle-cut fries taste like a childhood memory done right. The taps pour regional sodas and craft beers, and the bright, welcoming space channels the efficiency of a fast-food spot without sacrificing flavor or integrity.
