Creative burgers, good quality

by glittergalaxie

I saw this on the food network and knew that i had to try it. They have a nice menu, with lots of good burger choices. I got the one with roasted peppers on it, which were really very delicious. I opted not to go for the house made smokey mayonaise, which may be one of the reasons I thought it was lacking in flavor so its kind of my own fault. My boyfriend really enjoyed his bleu cheese burger. I felt that they used a high quality of food here, nice buns, fresh veggies etc. Some people complained about the parking but come on dude, its Seattle. Parking sucks everywhere. I had no problem parking anyways. I say eat here! Its tasty and cute!

• Pros: Fresh quality food
• Cons: Not as flavorful as hoped

Really a greasy spoon

by grampy

I am amazed at the good reviews of this greasy spoon.The meat is low grade,cooked on a flat grill in a kitchen that looks dirty.The burger comes out so greasy it is terrible.I don't understand what anyone sees that is good in this place.I would never return again

• Pros: none
• Cons: Greasy burgers ,terrible french fires and onion rings

Okay food. Very very bad parking.

by scicarus

So I got curious about all the fuss about this place and gave it a try. Burgers were okay not really great as many people seem to think. Parking lot was way too small for the size of the restaurant and the usual crowd they seem to expect. I really don't see any good reason for a restaurant to not have an adequate parking space other than trying to brag about the long lines of cars waiting to get in. I'm definitely not coming back.

• Pros: Okay burgers
• Cons: Very small parking

Food for cool people

by PasserOfJudgement

I was telling a friend how awful this place was and remembered this website so here I am. I used to eat at Red Mill a lot when I first bought a car and had a small income, but now that I'm older I realize how badly we were treated at the time. There has never been a restaurant of any variety that had more contempt for its customers. - credit cards not accepted - 'no cell phones' signs - long lines, long wait - very little seating - order was constantly recorded wrong - inconsistant quality. We finally stopped going there when on one occasion they messed up our order and the burgers came out very bland and we didn't want another meal ruined, but my later experiences have taught me that I gave that place way too many chances. If I had to guess at the root of the problem I'd say it's that they don't need the business, they hire based on looks and they are constantly busy. I've grown out of making burger joints a dining destination so I can't really name alternatives. I like Coastal Kitchen's burger.

We Keep Coming Back!

by hubriis

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.

Best...

by divinojustojuez

Really, the best burgers in Seattle eaten sometimes at the dirtiest tables in Seattle. Nobody keeps an eye on cleaning where guests are eating.

Great burgers, not that kid-friendly!

by mommaloveselvis

I found Red Mill on the list of best family-friendly restaurants. Strange, I did not see a kid meal on the menu nor a junior type burger: plain. I spent $4.35? on a half-eaten cheeseburger for a 5 year old-not to mention a $2 soda. Don't get me wrong, I love the food, but kids don't want to wait in long lines for a table to open up and parents shouldn't have to pay so much to feed little ones. The Verde burger is delicious!

• Pros: great burgers
• Cons: not a good value for feeding small kids

Awesome!

by iluvrain

Seriously the best burger I have ever eaten and the onion rings are even better. Be careful because the staff is a bit on edge, you WILL be yelled at for being on your cell phone, and you ARE expected tp tip (well worth it), there are no substitutions and you must pay in cash. But if you can put up with all of that you are in for a real treat.

One of the better places I've been

by moto246

I heard about this place through some friends so I thought I'd try it out. It was about 8:00 on a Friday night and it was pretty packed. We ordered our food and had to wait about 10 minutes. Seating inside was limited, so we had to go on one of the picnic tables just outside. I got special they had: the "triple burger". I must say it was pretty awesome. I had been eating D i c k s (citysearch detected this word as "inappropriate) and Red Robin for a while and this was a good change.

• Pros: Yum yum burgers, pretty inexpensive
• Cons: Slow service, limited seating

Best burger in Seatown!

by TheMemberName

The verde veggie burger is the best I have ever had. Maybe it's the sauce, maybe it's the toasted bun. I'm a vegetarian who used to frequent Red Mill with a non-vegetarian, and she always ordered the veggie burger here, claiming that it was actually better than the cow burgers. Delicious. The real milkshakes are good, too.

Unfortunately, this restaurant is cramped and it can be hard to find a seat, or even a place to stand while waiting; the line is routinely out the door; credit/debit cards are not accepted (there's an ATM, though); the hours are incompatible with late-night and Monday cravings; parking is a headache; it?s so noisy that people don?t always hear their names called when their orders are finally ready; and it gets so busy that the employees are often unable to answer to phone. I?m surprised the owners don?t extend the hours and open a drive-through, or a new location next to school (think how much money they could make off the munchies at Evergreen!). The employees seem to handle to crowds pretty well.

• Pros: Amazing veggie burger
• Cons: Unless you are lucky enough to score a seat, it's impossible to avoid being in everyone's way
