Ballard Brothers Seafood And Burgers

Had a very good, though somewhat confusing, first experience here.

Food was really good, and ready fast. The bacon burger was delicious: well prepared, good bacon, zesty spread. Fries were amazing, that double fried and seasoned kind. Got a cup of clam chowder (or maybe they gave me a bowl on accident, it seemed big!) which tasted a lot better than it looked (watery). And a delicious chocolate shake, which was just a little too thick.

Though I counted 5 staff that popped up at various points throughout the visit (a manager type, an owner type that randomly popped in and poked around and several kitchen and counter staff) it felt deserted in there almost the whole time I was there. Maybe its the gigantic menu that separates the dining area from the staff area. It seemed like the staff may not be able to see each other either - took a minute or so for someone to spot me, look around for someone else to help me and then end up helping me themselves. Whatever, small gripe, just one of those things that stood out.

The ambiance was nice as well, they played 80s rock on the speakers, they had a local soda company at the fountain (but for us big brand fans, they had those in a nearby cooler). I had the place to myself most of the time I was there, save for a period where a man on the phone came in. He spoke the whole time he was there, and he was selling things, felt like I was listening to a commercial over the music. It was a slow hour.

I'd long disregarded that little red building in Ballard, but now that I've been, I'll definitely come here again.

The fish and chips was outstanding. . That onion rings were killer good hot. . I didn't care for the sauce on the Hawaiian burger. But it was good. Otherwise.

The food and drinks are good. The staff is great. Worth checking out! I've brought multiple friends here, and never heard a negative word from any of them! It's a fun neighborhood spot, hidden away for awesome people to find!

I've had their black bean burger, BOMB!!!
I've had their tacos, my husband ordered for me while I was in the bathroom and he forgot to say no onions, they fixed it for me. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
And I've had their fish and chips which is so so so bomb and so worth the price!!
And finally their margaritas are great and strong! Perfect for me! This place is so far from home but I travel there from time to time because I like them so much
