I love to go here, but it is almost always busy. On nice summer days you can’t even get in the door the line is so long. But, the line is so long because everyone agrees – Red Mill has awesome food.

It is cash or check only.

Best burgers in Seattle in my opinion. If you like charbroiled burgers this is the place to go. Milk shakes are pretty good too.

This burger joint is famous for their Verde Burger, made with fire roasted anaheim peppers.

I think people get excited about this place because compared to Muckdonalds it is off the chart. I don’t eat garbage food so I am comparing to regular food. It was a good burger, nice sauce, good portion size; it was adequate. That is where it stops though, I found no suggestion that the meat was local, grass-fed, or humanely raised (who cares right?), or that it wasn’t full of cow hormone. Also there was really nothing to commend it above a common burger, no exciting morsels to accompany it. The milkshake was kindof flawed in execution somehow so I ended up with a cup of chocolate chips at the bottom.

I enjoyed the place and the people were nice; go, eat, but don’t believe the hype.

Well my family and I decided to try Red Mill Burger for the first time this weekend. I was so disappointed. I went with high expectations. The place was hopping so that was a good sign but once I bit into my burger, it was all over. That was the only bite I could stomach. I’m more of a purest so the spiced mayo was a huge turnoff. The onion rings tasted like burnt oil. Maybe they were just having a bad day. I can say my family and I won’t be visiting again.

There’s a reason why Red Mill is bantered about whenever folks are discussing the best burgers in Seattle. Their burgers are consistently great, and that is the reason we keep coming back.
