Sun + Kirkland waterfront + The Slip = Perfection

by tcdarrow , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

There's not much in the way of hip decor at Kirkland institution The Slip. IIn fact, you should know that most tables and chairs are actually of the plastic variety. But walk outside onto the water-facing deck and you'll see why this popular spot is packed on sunny weekend days.

I would go with burgers over anything else on the not-so-fussy menu. There are plenty of ways to make your plain burger a bit more exciting (think grilled red onions, Colack cheese, guac...) If you're looking for something a bit more original, try the Kirkland Shrimp Burger. And the kids' menus is fantastic.

• Pros: Waterfront view, yummy casual faire
• Cons: Decor, can be crowded

Excellent Hamburgers in the heart of Kirkland

by heater4 at Citysearch

First of all, I need to state that I am sorry for those people who have had a bad experience at the Slip. Stay home and cook yourself so you have good experiences and we have less wait for a nice juicy hamburger.

I moved her 6 years ago and from the first time to the last time that I ate at the Slip, it has been excellent!!! :) Great service, friendly waiters/waitress, excellent beer and drinks and the most tasty burgers in the state of Washington. I have to say that I fell in love with this place from my first experience. The spinach dip as an appitzer is amazing! Then move on to one of their tasty burgers and enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Washington. Nothing beats the slip!! You never know tell you try it yourself!!! Life takes paitence and those who are will enjoy this place. Check it out for yourself!

• Pros: Everything here is worth it!!

Raw chicken

by SnakePliskin at Citysearch

The two times I've eaten there my chicken sandwich was raw in the middle. Get me once, shame on you, get me twice, shame on me. I'll never eat there again.

Good burgers and beer; perfect for the casual diner.

So I read all the reviews from other folks, and felt compelled to counteract some of the negative posts. While the service isn't great, and if you're older than say 35 you might feel a little ancient (as I did), the food was frickin' awesome. I'd been told that the hamburgers were the best in Seattle and though I've only been here a year I'd say it's the best I've had. I had TheSpecial, which was darn tasty. I was diggin' the Hale's beer selection too; good IPA's and Pale Ales. The young thing managing the seating was very friendly to us, put us on the list for outdoor seating and called our cell phone when a table became available, no problem. I think if you come in with a bad attitude you're going to get it right back at you. I and my party of 2 others had a great experience, and I'll definitely be back.

• Pros: Yummy burgers and beer.
• Cons: Cheapo seating, only ok service.

Awesome menu and the staff is exceptional with a gr8 outdoor deck in the summer!

by jusdoingr8 at Citysearch

It has to be one of the best places to eat in Kirkland for the money along with a gr8 outdoor deck! The prices for what you get are affordable along with a very nice staff and just purrs with awesome energy on a summer day or eve!

Yes, they can be a bit slow in service but just flag down one of the many servers to remedy that small problem!

It's always pretty packed for so many reasons so disregard those negative reviews and try it at least once for yourself and you will find a nice surprise nestled in downtown Kirkland with views of Lake Wa!

• Pros: Food, Loacation, friendly staff
• Cons: Service sometimes not alwayz a bit slow.
