By's

For the past 15 years, in an effort to make 'gourmet' burgers, they've started making GIANT burgers that look great on insta, but you can't actually fit in your mouth (and I have a giant mouth). Well, this joint bucks that trend. Thank goodness.

Best burger in Seattle and it's not even close fries are great, the lady at the counter is super nice. Only qualm is that there not open later.

This place is a throwback to good old times! Last time I was there was in the mid 80s and the food is just as wonderful with hearty portions as I remember it back then, the fish and chips was carefully prepared with tartar sauce and coleslaw and ketchup for the fries and flavorful Homestyle fries with the skin on, there is many menu options and everything is to Delight, the staff is exceptionally friendly and inviting, the hamburgers are out of this world good! Unlike what you find in this day and age, it's amazing that this Gem of a restaurant has survived the test of time and for a good reason, thanks for still being there for us BY'S and see you again soon for good old-fashioned service and food.

So I was by about 2 weeks ago and got my Lou's Special(named after Lou Dapas, famed South-End Burger impresario-there was a time when every local burger joint had a 'Lou' burger in deference), so today I was in the area and found myself being drawn to By's for their famous Fish & Chips! Had a nice chat with the hostess; she has been there EVERY TIME I have stopped in over the last 21 years. Ordered the 2 piece Cod & chips plus a jumbo tarter-as a WA native I love tartar sauce with fries, too! Food came out quickly and was devoured just as quickly, so much so I forgot to take any photos. Fresh, crispy coating, just the right amount of grease to be satisfying. Generous amount of fries. Daughter up @ WWU, otherwise i would have gotten her a shake-her fave is blackberry. She'll be back down for Christmas soon & i'll.make up.for it then!

By's serves the best fish and chips I've ever had. The fish is breaded with a light crust of panko, not batter, so it's light with a bit of a crunch. Never greasy, never burnt. They put the same excellent fish in the fish sandwich, which I also recommend highly. Be careful, though, the fish is served very hot. The fries are good as well. The lady who runs the place is friendly and efficient.Admittedly, the neighborhood is unpleasant with a view of a waste management facility, but the food at this old-school drive-in will make you forget that. Give this place a try!

Amazing, if your missing zippys, go hereThey got my order right, and the fries were nice and salty, the fry sauce there is amazing, I recommend.

The greatest fish sandwich since totem house fish and chips. Not greasy and very tasty first here the owners are very friendly and courteous definitely will be returning soon.

Old style diner. I can imagine all the dock workers would come here for coffee and good hot meals. It's been here for 70 years. Quality burger, great fish sandwich, milkshake was on our order. $31. Not cheap but worthy. In the heart of SoDo.

Places like this that are local are so rare which is why it's important that we continue to support them. Their burgers are good but the patties are very thin so get a double if you like more meat. My favorite thing here is the fried zucchini, just wish it came with ranch that didn't cost .83 cents for a small thing. The teriyaki chicken sandwich is also very good, as are the fish and chips. Prices have gone up but they are still fair for the quality you get.

Best Fish Sandwich in Seattle. Milkshakes are hand made, favorite is the chocolate peanut butter. They are locally owned and support all the working people in the area, so support Bys.
