Scooter's Burgers

Awesome Philly cheesesteak! Ample parking. Not really a sit down. But great for take out.

Second burger spot on my unofficial burger tour - Scooters. To get straight to it. The burger and the fries delivered.Let's start with the Double, bacon cheeseburger. If they have something like this. I have to get it. The burger was loaded with the usual suspects - lettuce, pickle, tomato all on a seeded bun which is a nice touch. The patties seemed to be a bit larger than the usual size or perhaps because it was doubled. The charbroiled flavor was definitely there, and the toppings did there thing. All present in each bite. I found the "sauce", sometimes "secret sauce" which as many of these burgers' spots tout - is a sort of mayo-based sauce. It was kind of liquidy, compared to say Lil Woody's from my first tour. So, I had to fall back on ketchup from home. I ordered a cup of "Scooter sauce for the fries". One among about 8 or so different sauces you can get for an additional 0.35 per cup. I wasn't impressed with this either - it is again a mayo-based sauce with relish in it. I found it to be too mayo-ie.The fries were great. Nice sized, and very crispy. A small order will do.Beyond the food which is pretty good with some eh regarding the sauces, the place is similar to 'Dicks' in its present form. You walk up order, take out and eat. Staff was friendly enough. They'll call your number when it's ready. There are some tables with benches, but I took mine to go. Prices are a bit on the higher side. for example, $3+ and up starting for a small drink. The actual place has an old school look, but beyond that isn't much to look at.So, the verdict is its pretty good. Definitely worth trying if you're into a good ol' burger. I'd go back to see if despite some nips, it still shines through.

Doesn't look like much when you walk by, but this burger spot is not to be missed when in Ballard! They even have some awards for best burger in seattle back in the day. Well, its great that its so close by to me! They have some picnic tables outside in the parking lot but it definitely has a grab and go kind of vibe. Even the inside isn't much to look at.However, the staff are very friendly! They are happy to answer any questions about the food. I ended up trying the guacamole burger. It was perfectly cooked and moist inside and comes with some special chipotle mayo sauce too. I also really liked the fries here! They are perfectly crispy!Looking forward to another visit here one day!

Kid burger, kids cheese burger, and fried mushrooms for $28. FYI Scooters, if your going to charge $7 for fried mushrooms you better make sure to give me ranch with them. I got our order home and there was NO ranch. Also, don't let the plethora of milkshake flavors fool you. 90% of them are vanilla ice cream with flavored syrup. Such a bummer. It wasn't the best place in the neighborhood, but it's close by and convenient. Probably won't got back. Another one bites the dust.

Frozen burger patties thrown on the grill. Bun's stale and smashed and toasted into a squashed bun. Fries are nothing to speak about and the fry sauce is nothing to write home about. Fry sauce is mayo, banquet relish, and catsup. I liked the self-service kiosk, but the lobby is dirty and the exterior of the building overhand is damaged. The outdoor seating picnic tables are broken and wrapped in duct tape.The smell of the exhaust of the hood system smelled of rancid oil. Completely ruined my appetite.

Dearest Scooters - I used to love you because you were legit and authentic and knew who you were. I'm not sure if you have a new owner or are experiencing a major life transition but dang, what happened? The employee vibe I get when I walk in is fear and I'm made to feel like I'm an inconvenience. Maybe I am?Your quality seems to have gone down and your prices have gone up, please help me make sense of this. I know times are tough, but a $14.50 bacon burger should be fresh. I know your patties are frozen and not a lot of care is taken when preparing food.My last three orders were incomplete and I can't take it anymore. If I pay for extra bacon, please include it in my order. If I ask for no sauce on my sons burger, please make sure not to put sauce on it. What happens is, he won't eat it and I'm out $ and now have a cranky kid. It's happens 3 times!!!I want to like you and maybe be friends again, but for now, until you change, I'm out.

Well I dunno if anyone ever accused Scooter's of being fast food, but they'd be wrong. They always seem to take forever...this time I waited nearly 30 minutes for a bacon cheeseburger with three people ahead of me. At least the food is fresh when you get it though. Here are my pro tips: their bacon isn't worth it for me, I stick with a straight cheeseburger now. Get onion rings or fried mushrooms (with tartar sauce) - their fries are very meh. Get a milkshake - they're quite good. I hate to say it, but as much as I want to support the local guy, I like Five Guys' burgers and fries better. Scooters still makes a pretty good burger though, and has some mouth-watering fry alternatives, with equally good shakes. Worth a visit, just be prepared to sit tight while your food cooks.

Poor guy taking orders was super overwhelmed and there was no line. His coworker kindly stepped in to assist. Cheeseburger meal and it was solid. What you would expect definitely. Won't be back but got my itch scratched for that summertime burger.

$17 for a cheeseburger and a handful of fries. Beef is uncooked no mustard no ketchup just mayo.Fries were good

Their fries is no longer the best fries in seattle.. no longer worth $8. As the other reviews mentioned, they might change the owner or major transition? We are not sure but it is really sad. Please bring back the best fries in town :(
