Fantastic sliders, good location in Ballard by Fred Meyers and solid IPAs. The veggie burger is fantastic for being meat free. Highly recommend.

Pass!Pass!Pass! Told we couldn't get an entree on the menu. Our server argued with the cook why not we have all the items? The cook said because we lose money. We could hear them. Hey cook you're a dumbass. Our server went back again to bat for us came back and said oh he said he can make it. We said thanks but no thanks. Then this other server idk if she's the lead but she tried doggin the other chick out saying oh well she only works one day a week and that should've been taken off the menu. WELL BITCH.... the cook said he'd make it so wtaf r u even talking about??? I HOPE home chick that went to bat got all of our tip cuz it was meant for her and her alone. Bullshit don't waste your time.

In the heart of Ballard, this little brewpub has the perfect combination of good beer AND good food. I had an assortment of Po'boy and mahi-mahi sliders. They both come with a side of house tarter sauce which was better than any other sauce I've eaten. It's got a little spice and is mild on the tarter.Beers were good as well as the service. I think the best part was the homemade hot sauce.

Whenever I'm in Ballard, I stop here. Their beers are delicious, the customers are regulars, and their sliders with house mustard is amazing.

Do you love onion rings? Me too!The Jolly Roger offers up some of the best onion rings in Seattle, second only to the rings at the Wedgwood Broiler, in my opinion.Crispy, hot, and fully cooked inside, 9 huge donut-sized rings arrive at the table as an artfully stacked tower, a golden monument to deep-fried savory crunchiness.And this is a monument that you can take down quickly; just don't burn your tongue as you eat your way to the bottom.Other menu items are also tasty. The seafood (and burgers) are very good, and all three of us ordered a seasonal gerkensalat plate because we are all pickle freaks. We could have just shared one plate (except we didn't). I've been here five or six times since it opened, and it's always a solid choice.Good food, friendly service, cold beers and the second best onion rings in Seattle are waiting for you at the Jolly Roger in Ballard. Five stars!

Love this place! They have always been so good to us. The food is legit...some of the best Fish & Chips in town!Burgers and fries are great. The sliders offer a good variety too!!There are enough revolving taps that everyone is sure to find a fav. And the part that really makes it-the STAFF is so friendly and attentive. We are so glad they were open today. Perfect place to enjoy a Stanley Cup playoff game GO KRAKEN!!

We ate there last night. It was cosy and decorated for the holidays. The food is always excellent and at a good price. I love their burgers, fish and chips, and chili, if available. Check their own website (not a search engine) for the accurate kitchen hours. Disappointing if the kitchen has just closed and you're looking forward to their food! Only two blocks from Trader Joe's in Ballard. Excellent service. The menus posted here are out of date. it's easy to overlook because it's not beside the other breweries. Definitely worth it for a satisfying meal and friendly stop. Appears to be dog friendly although I didn't see that posted.

Happened upon this place while waiting to have a flat tire changed. Good burgers and beer! Onion rings were light and crispy, not just heavy batter. Chill ambiance.
