We have been to Blazing Onion in Mill Creek 5+ times now, and every time has been excellent.
They have wide selection of burgers and I have never had one that dosent beat Red Robin (just down the road). (Blazing Onion has bottomless fries too)
The service is great, they have a full bar, and a nice selection of beers that a NW beer drinker will appreciate.
They also just added a Coke Freestyle machine (makes 100+ beverage varieties) which ups the cool factor. -

Went here with a friend about a month or so ago. I guess it is a bit of a bad sign that I had to use their website to look up the menu and remember what I actually ate here....
We ended up sitting in the bar when we arrived since most of the other tables were pretty busy. This meant that we had someone waiting on us, which was nice. It made the high prices seem a bit more reasonable (normally you walk up and order at the counter).
I went with the Bleu Burger with a turkey patty and regular fries. The burger itself was great - very delicious! I would definitely get it again. But the fries were really bland and I wish I'd picked sweet potato fries or a different side, but alas. I had a Sprite as well, but there was something wrong with it. I think the mixture was off - too much soda and not enough syrup.
Our waiter was generally friendly and checked in on us probably the right number of times.
Overall, I had a fine, but unmemorable lunch here. I would come back and probably have the same burger again, but I would likely try a different side. -

Been here once & I was happy to find out that they had chicken burgers available since I don't eat beef burgers.
The chicken burger was good.
The fries were a bit greasy but it is potatoes fried in oil.
They have a huuuuuuge selection of burgers to choose from on their menu.
It's like a copycat of Red Robin. But Red Robin you go into it expecting an average meal & service. I thought Blazing Onion would've at least topped RR. So much for expectations, oh well! -

I've been here once, so maybe I picked a bad day to try out this place. I've been recommended of this place by several people, so I was eager to try it out.
Boy, have been disappointed. The burgers we ordered were way too greasy, not much favor to them at all. The fries tasted soggy, and greasy, as if they've been sitting out for a while.
The service was distasteful. The time my party went there, the restaurant wasn't busy at all, however, we were ignored for a while before taking our order, never saying hi, or smiling. Unlike other restaurants where servers check on you from time to time, you have to put up a sign on your table to grab server's attention. I put up the sign because they didn't serve my beer. But when the server came, he just stood there instead of saying anything such as "how can I help you," or "yes?" It was subtle but very condescending. After I told him that he didn't serve my beer, he didn't even apologize or anything, came back with the beer, and placed it on the table and left without saying a single word. I might sound a bit anal, but these subtle gestures definitely , added up and my whole experience was quite bad. I don't expect a red carpet service, but as a family burger joint, I expect them to be at least friendly.
I'll probably never go back.Comment from David J. of Blazing Onion Burger Company 10/28/2011

Not great and not worth the price. Sometimes being "a little different" (like Blazing Onion) makes for a terrible dining experience for customers.

The particular Blazing Onion needs some work. The workers are nice, friendly and efficient and the food is great, but the place is always a dump. The tables are dirty, there's food and garbage on the floor and I never see anyone cleaning the entire time I'm there. I know the place is busy but there are employees wandering around when they should be cleaning. No one likes to sit at a dirty table or see food on the floor while they are trying to eat. Again, I LOVE the food at Blazing Onion but the Mill Creek location needs to step their game up big time.

Listen to what Jason says.
My friend (more of a team member from tennis) used to work here and quit for this following reason: apparently they had rats in the storage or something, but all they simply did was turn their back to it, as in "shutting the door".
I don't know what kind of business does this... But that's... shocking.
I also don't think their burgers are as good as Red Robins, and Red Robins is decent. I've been to Blazing Onion twice and the burgers seemed bland. It can get a bit pricey. I think the only highlight was the fries. Other than that... Won't ever return. -

Consistently great!
I have eaten here at least a dozen times in the past year and a half and everytime I get a great burger. I have tried many on the list but have settled in with the Wild Boar Burger as my favorite. Between my family and I we probably have tried every burger on the list and have never been disappointed. We have also tried the Fish and Chips and they were good enough, although this is a burger joint so I am not rating it by that. My youngest son and wife absolutely love the French Onion soup here.
I will warn that the burgers here are very juicy, I believe they do add a sauce to most of them. So be sure to wrap your burger in a napkin when eating it or you may make a mess.
I love the self serve layout, and ordering at the counter when you walk in which saves so much time. Once served the table service was fast when you put up the HELP sign. This small location is very cozy and the staff has always been prompt and friendly here.
The only thing to complain about is how full you are when you leave, and I try not to think about the calories I just ate.
If you want a GREAT burger, come here! -

Used to be a favorite spot of mine back when they served Ostrich burgers. But they still have great sweet potato fries.
Good burger alternative from the big chains and can be fun if you drop in while the Mill Creek Town Center is having a free concert as the outdoor seating for Blazing Onion is right near the concert area. -

We really like this location versus the new one at Alderwood Mall. Food is excellent every time, service is prompt and the place is clean. The only downfall for me is their chili, it has beans in it. Coming from Texas that's not chili that's goulash posing as chili.

After a long day at the Diving Expo, I decided to hop over to Mill Creek town center and try somewhere new...Blazing Onion Burger Company. I've driven by before and wondered...
I need not wonder any longer. I ordered their take on a french dip. It was lacking flavor. The seasonings were at a minimum. The fries were crispy on the well done side. Glancing at the other orders that came out, the well done fries are the standard.
The atmosphere is nice, warm and casual. Television screens peppered throughout the seating area. They do have a wait staff that takes care of you past the point of ordering at the register. There's a little red octagonal stop sign shaped card on the table that you place in the menu holder when you need your server.
My overall rating for the meal is "ok". Nothing spectacular that would make me order it again.
Am I in a hurry to venture back that way? Not so much. -

Burger places are weird - people love them or hate them.
I like this place and I'll be back. Fulton's beef (no antibiotics or hormones), a wide variety of choices, and yummy fries. The onion rings are GREAT, even cold right out of the fridge the following day.
I don't remember my first burger here, but I know that the boys I was with loved them. My first memorable trip I had the lamb burger and it exceeded my expectations. The burger itself was full of flavor and juicy - the tomatoes and spring greens fresh. So good that last night two out of the four of us ordered it.
Knowing that I can always get a burger, I ventured to try the Cuban Sandwich. It too was tasty - a healthy amount of shredded pork (much like carnitas actually) piled with ham and sliced pickles. It is served with this yummy chipotle sauce that was a step above spiced mayo. Overfilled on fries, (okay, fries & beer) I had to take half of it home. Just ate it. Even better the second day. Much like that aforementioned onion ring.
Bottom line - you can't go wrong here. If you're in the area, go already. Way quieter than Red Robin. AND a much shorter wait. And you get free fry refills too. -

I love good vegeburgers, but they are harder to find than you would think.Blazing Onion definitely stands out as one of the best vegetarian burgers that I have ever had at a restaurant. The patties were delicious the toppings were done excellent. The service was excellent. Though it was a little odd. Here they do this thing where you put up a sign and they say that someone will come serve you within 30-60 seconds. You pay for you food ahead of time, and they ask for the tip there. How do I know how much I want to tip, before I get service? I left a few dollars on the table when I left, with the sign up, so maybe that worked?
I also had sweet potato fries with aioli which was also delicious. I would definitely go back this restaurant, and it might just surpass red robin as the default place for me to go for vegeburgers. -

Great burgers. I had their lamb burger which had rosemary, oregano, feta, kalamata olives, etc. on ciabatta, and it was tremendously good. The french fries were very tasty - not greasy and a good potato flavor. The Virginian burger was loaded with ham and pepper bacon. The onion rings were really good too.
I much preferred their burgers to Five Guys, Teddy's, etc.
They have a nice beer selection as well (including my current fave, Manny's.)
The knock is unfortunately not their fault, but that of people who bring their kids and let them sit at a table *unsupervised* while they are standing in line to place their order. No, I'm not one of those "eww! children!" types, but I don't remember my parents taking us out to eat and letting me and my brothers sit at a table by ourselves for ten minutes screaming, then ignoring us while we continued to act out. Jerks. -

I will, in the interest of full disclosure, point out that i had a bit of a Yelp message exchange with the co-owner, who...actually, to his credit, corrected the stupid tiny chili bowl issue and made sure that everything combos correctly in the register. Also, the patties seem to have returned to full size and they'll cook them however you like. This is awesome.
In other words, it costs much closer to what it should. The food's still good, the staff is still awesome, and now you're properly stuffed for 13.50. Also, it was crazy busy the other night and they were handling the scene with aplomb; as a result, I will clear my objections in the previous review and boost this place to four stars of yummy burgerness.1 Previous Review: Show all »

This definitely no competitor to Red Robin. It is more like a fusion of a fast food restaurant and an Applebees with emphasis on the bar. The burgers can be bog and messy to eat. The meatloaf is not.a meatloaf but a ground steak without any of.the binders expected of a meatloaf. The service is without confidence and the staff was cloying.
This was not a great dining experience and I would not recommend anyone eat here. -

Loved the burger and appreciated the diverse beer selection! If you want a good burger, come here for sure. I wish the ambiance was more pub-like and less burgermaster, but can see why people favor the layout. If you want a full service experience, sit in the bar area.

In the beginning, meat was plentiful and my people were pleased.....
This kind of summarizes my feelings toward Blazing Onion. I appreciated the good burgers and fries they threw out when they first opened. But, over the last year or two, I feel the quality has definitely gone downhill. I feel like the patties used to be bigger, the everchanging menu adding new items, deleting other items, and the staff of mostly teens who are definitely not interested in customer service. I realize that a restaurant has to change and adapt to it's clientele, but the last two times we went in there, the "new menu items" had totally different things on them from the last time we were there. And after trying the "new" artichoke dip, I realize why. It kind of sucked. The dip itself didn't have much of a flavor besides the artichoke and cheese they used to blend. And the garlic that was used in it were big chopped chunks of raw garlic stirred in. I love garlic, but raw garlic can be very bitter if not cooked up at least a little. After a few bites, I had to stop for fear of it wreaking havoc on my stomach later.
So maybe the new menu rotates frequently because they just haven't found some good pinch hitters for those people who don't feel like ordering the burgers?
My go-to burger is the Bleu Burger with bacon which is pricey (you have to add the pepper bacon), but still a-ok, even after the slow decline in quality these last couple of years. The fish and chips are pretty standard, if overly greasy, fare.
We go to the Town Center a lot, so I'm sure we'll end up here at least once or twice a year while they remain in business. It sure would be nice though if they worked on the quality of their food.Comment from David J. of Blazing Onion Burger Company 10/28/2011

Okay, I flat out thought this place was tasty and awesome. I'm not sure the prices are really... on par for it not being a full-service restaurant, but the burgers are so good that I just don't care.
Sort of weird chain of events as far as ordering and stuff goes, and if you haven't been in before it seems really awkward. Order at the counter, pay, and seat yourself. They bring you your food, and you have a little marker thing that you put up if you want anything else. A little inconvenient because this means potentially running two transactions for the same place (not cost-effective for them, by the way, since the average retailer pays upwards of 35 cents per debit/credit transaction) However, as I said, the burgers are yummy. So yummy in fact that I'm craving one now. Juicy, and flavorful, fresh toppings. Yum!
Extra-awesome bonus: this place sort of drips with hot men during football season on weekend afternoons. You've been warned: you're welcome :)Comment from David J. of Blazing Onion Burger Company 5/11/2010

Terrible service, the burgers are not bad, I give them that but the honest truth is the owner and his son are crooked thief's.
Here is my story.
My wife and I went in for our first meal at Blazin Onion and we are a huge fan of The Mill Creek Town Center. We eat at all of the restaurants and want them to stay in business. For our inaugural visit we were very exited to order a nice burger and shake. My wife left her BlackBerry sitting near the register left it on accident while we found a seat. Quickly noticing the BlackBerry was missing she remembered where she left it last and we asked a younger male who was working the front register if he noticed it. He said no and we thought that was weird because no other customers entered the store. I immediately became concerned that the younger male may be trying to steal the phone and asked to talk to his manager to see if someone else may have brought it to them. The manager said no and the younger male went to the restroom to hide. I decided to go in and talk with him and let him know that the BlackBerry was a corporate phone from the City of Seattle and a simple call could enable the device useless. I told him If he happens to know where it might be I would be very grateful and he took me to the back in his locker where he found it in his coat pocket. I didn't get an apology and that was fine but I followed up with a phone call to the owner and found out the younger male at the front counter was the owners son. When I explained what happened he said his son would never do that and didn't believe me. Being a father myself I told him I completely understand how he feel's but the fact of the matter was there was an issue that he as an owner of a business needs to address with an employee. He refused and I told him I would not eat at his restaurant again and would spread the message of this story to as many people as possible. He then told me that he didn't need my business and that my story will not affect one sale of his future business. Let's hope that is not the case. Try one of the more honest restaurants in the Mill Creek Town Center with business owners who care about the people who eat at their restaurant. My wife and I love Azul, Thai Rhapsody, The greek place ane the new spot with tapas Tablas. Central Market has a great beer selection too!!! -

Further investigation is required but I am more than willing to do this.
My husband and I both had their wild boar burgers. They were juicy and delicious. I was expecting a more gamey full flavor taste based on my past wild boar experiences but, you could tell that you weren't just eating beef. The burgers had yummy coleslaw and onion strips as garnish and their tartar sauce is good too.
We shared a picture of beer and it was served in a frosty picture with frosty glasses and was nice and cold.
We were pleasantly surprised.
The menu has many other options other than burgers and we will be back! I hope our experience is a good as the first time. -

Amanda Y. and I had a hankering for a big, juicy burger after petting the baby cows at The Farm's petting zoo earlier in the day. Just kidding, I'm sure our cravings were a coincidence. On our way back to the city, we took a detour into Mill Creek to grab a bite and we landed at Blazing Onion.
For an order at the counter, seat yourself kind of a joint, I thought the prices were a bit steep. My blazing onion burger and fries cost just under $9. The burger was tasty, but the fries could have used some seasoning or at least salt. Thankfully, their fry sauce managed to give them a little life. If you're not into beef, the menu seemed to have other options like turkey burgers or chicken.
I've found myself north of Shoreline twice in the two years that I've lived in Seattle, so it's doubtful that I'll be back. Nothing wowed me about the place, but then again, nothing truly disappointed me. -

Burgers, fries and onion rings OH MY!!!
Burgers and sandwiches along with a few fine items such as grilled salmon, fish and chips, they even have a few veggie items to choose from. But God almighty dem onion rings are da BOMB!!!
A different approach to seating in this place, you give the host your name and the number of peeps in your party and then you chill for a bit, if it's busy inside. Once your party's seating becomes available you are then asked to place your order with the counter help. A tad weird, but it works. We didn't have to wait very long and the location of this new-ish establishment in the Mill Creek's "Creekside Village", located just north of the Central Market, it is clean and there's a nice bakery to check out next door while you wait.
Basically you serve yourself here, but there are "servers" who will bring additional items at your request, and of course are more than willing to sell you something else IF you are still hungry.
I had the steak-dip, subbing the steak fries for onion rings. Thank God I did, man those rings of crunchy goodness were worth cold-cocking the kid at the booth next to us, so that I could steal his serving. I kid, I kiiiiddd....kid if you are reading this, sorry about the bruise, but it won't leave much of a mark.... A nice light beer-ish batter on the onion rings, no gritty cornmeal on them, I really liked them, can you tell??
Overall a solid meal, the fries were good as well, but you must get the onion rings, you've been warned.... -

I have three words to say for this place:
"BACON! BURGER! DOG!"
Yes, just like on the Cosby Show, you too can come down here and order the All-Star Burger, which has both hot dog and bacon on it. That alone gets a good review from me just for going there. My fiancee had the regular bacon burger and she said it tasted like the bun was toasted in butter. We also had the fried macaroni poppers (from the kid's menu). Everything was tasty, the weird service arrangement was fine since everyone was attentive and friendly. It's pretty pricey, but definitely one of a kind. -

This was our Nephew's place of choice so we made the trip out North on his behalf.
So you arrive to a wall menu and you place your orders at a register station and go pick your own seat. They do deliver your order to your table but there is a sign upon your table that you have to put in a holder should you need anything else or want to run a tab for another beer. Thus meaning if you want more of anything a second transaction will need to occur on your card of which to me ensures I'll not order anything else which is really their loss in the end.
With the service concept in mind, this really makes me question the prices, I mean $8.15 plus for a burger seems pretty steep for me when it's more of a serve yourself type restaurant. Granted the burgers are good, don't get me wrong, but I rate on an overall experience and to be with little service, the mark up here seems pretty darn high.
I had the turkey burger and I have to agree with the other reviews, this was a moist and tasty treat. I am a big fan of sweet potatoes so another plus to be able to add that to my order instead of plain ol' fries and they were good, moist in the center but crispy on the outside. However, to have to pay an additional $1.20 for them in addition to the already steep burger price will make sure I don't come back. The only bonus is that they did clear the table for us although I was expecting to have to bring my tray to the garbage can myself as this is the fast food-este feeling they portray intially with the register ordering.
I guess there comes a point when price matters over taste and in this case, I just can't stomach paying $9.39 for a burger, even though good, with little service to support it. I mean I realize this is what I pay at Red Robin but I don't have to order from a register there, instead I am seated, served on, don't have to suffer a second transaction just to order a second beer. Overall convenience and service is a factor here for me.Comment from David J. of Blazing Onion Burger Company 11/15/2009

So I 'm completely editing this review! I originally wrote that this was one of the best burger joints that I've been too, and it was until last night! I went there for a date night with the boyfriend, and I don't know if it was an off night or what but it was horrible. The first time I visited everything was perfect, the service, the food, everything was outstanding. But last night it was a 180!
When you walk in to this place you order right away then pick your seat. So my boyfriend ordered a beer and our burgers we took our seats, and we waited and waited for his beer to come, which it usually does before the food, and it never did. We had to ask for his beer. Then when our food came we were super stoked, I cut my burger in half and was about to dig in but it was super pink in the middle! Now I don't mind a little pink but this was crossing the line for sure.
When they had brought us our food we had asked for napkins, so we put up our little service alert thing and the guy came and I showed him my burger he offered to bring another one. So when we thought that things were back on track when my new fully cooked delicious burger came, I wolfed it down. But then quickly realized I had no where to wipe my hands because they STILL hadn't brought us any napkins.
The food was delicious as always! But the service was lacking big time, they didn't get any tip needless to say. Despite all this I would still go to this restaurant again, just maybe call ahead and find out what staff was working! -

Don't see that it's much different than ShakeNGo or Burger Joes taste wise; although the seating area is larger. It does serve beer (a plus), but if you want a second one, you have to pay all over again. The prices seem to be about $1.50 per burger high, especially for standing in line to order burgers.
The low light of the meal was the fact that my wife ordered her burger without any sauces and, of course, it arrived loaded with their famous burger sauce. When we were finally able to get the attention of a staff member (the place was about 50% full), he looked at my wife like she was crazy, but grudgingly agreed to take care of it. Taking care of it meant he walked into the kitchen, scraped the sauce off, and brought it back to the table, broken bun and all. Hey Einstein, the veggies on the burger were still coated, why don't ya wash them off in the men's room!!!!!!!!!
If you're going to charge those prices for that type of food, hire some staff that can spell S_E_R_V_I_C_E!

I've always sought a replacement for the evil Red Robin empire, and now I have found it, and so close to home with no wait!
My favorite thing about Blazing Onion is that you walk up, order and pay. You get a number, sit down wherever you want, inside or outside, and wait for your food. You tip if you want, I always want to....
My favorite burger is the BBQ one with a seriously large chicken booby instead of beef arse, I mean hamburger. (OK, so I am not a big fan of red meat.) Their turkey burger is good, too. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their onion rings and fries with tartar sauce. Definitely try the fresh, not frozen onion rings.
Menu selection is amazingly huge, plenty of deserts to choose from, and not stupid mud pie (Red Robin), here you get cheesecake, piles of brownie and other stuff, cake, and did I mention the shakes are perfectly wonderful? Thick, but you can still suck em through a straw.
Eat here, enjoy, know you will be full, if not stuffed, but know it will be good and two people could do this with a shake for around $25 or less. Yummy! -

Ok this place is either you love it or you hate it. I can see that eating thier food. It is not for everyone. But if you like a little bit of spice and something a little different than the norm, get up to the bar, get yourself a beer and put both elbows out so you can get up in that burger. They have some crazy, crazy burgers on the menu. I went with the all american. Its a heart stopper let me tell ya but and the thing is a monster but wow good. Not the best burger I have had in the world but damn good. The fries were interesting as well. Kind of have a spice to them. At first I was kind of taken back thinking what the heck is this? Spicy fries but you start eating them and you then you can't stop. I left this place full. I couldn't eat here every day or I would be huge like the burgers!

Yum! This is my once-a-month indulgence - they have a very unique list of burgers. You can even make the burgers more evil - like go from 1/3 lb to 1 lb burgers AND add thick peppered bacon strips! My favorites are the Blue (cheese) Burger and the Wisconsin Butter Burger.
For sides - OH! You can substitute the fresh-cut fries for beer battered onion rings and/or sweet potato fries. Even better - wash it all down with a microbrew. Then, if you're still not full, you can have a Reese's Peanut Butter Pie or banana split. Do it all while watching the Mariners or Seahawks!
Now you can probably see why I only go there once a week - I need about that much time to clear my arteries.
I give it 4 stars because I got slightly thrown off with the way you place your order. I'm used to it now but not everyone likes it. -

What a surprise!!
Though I usually prefer to have a waiter, a menu, etc., the Blazing Onion did a great job. There was plenty to choose from--all sorts of burgers and sandwiches, so there's something for everyone (even a few options for vegetarians!).
The burgers were delicious! What could possibly be wrong with a burger on a toasted ciabatta bun with bacon, blue cheese, and garlic sauce? Nothing! Well, except for the fact that the burger was so big there was no way I could eat it all.
I like that the Blazing Onion gives you options. You can substitute your fries for onion rings or sweet potato fries, if you wish. I recommend the onion rings--they're beer battered, crispy, and tasty.
It's also nice that the Blazing Onion has a liquor license so you can wash down your meal with a beer or glass of wine.
It's not a fancy restaurant, but the food was really good and the people there were nice. It sure beats other burger joints (I'm talking to YOU, Red Robin!). Worthy of a repeat visit.Listed in: My hood

Two Questions:
1. Who's the mensa that came up with the name "blazing onion"?
2. What in sam blazes was I doing in Mill Creek, Washington?
First, the name (thankfully) sounds worse than the food. In fact, one of the better burgers i've had. Delicious char on the patty. Flavorful, decent size (could be bigger), with a shit load of condiments, garnishes, and zippideee do daaahhss..... Oh yeah... shit aint cheap.
Second, was actually in Everett visiting distant relatives....why they chose to live so close to sasquatch, i will never know. But the "town", if you can call it, is quaint, quiet, and situated in a nice brand spankin new plaza with shops and restaurants.
Anyhow, back to the food. Beer is ICE COLD. Chili, fries, pickles, and probably sesame seeds are all extra charges....hell, thats how they make a $5 dolla burgah into $14 PLUS..... Slick! Very typical sports bar fare food, which everything is DEEP FRIED....
If you sit outside on the patio, hopefully its not too cold...it was brisk but very nice when i was there. They even had some contemporary jazz in the background....
Would definitely get a Blazing Onion Burger again..... -

It's nice to see someone actually concerned about their business.
I think the serve yourself idea was great. No waiting for a check you can go as you please. I think the idea of putting your own mustard and stuff on your burger is great because you know how much you want, some places just glob it on.
The burgers are great, and I am very picky with my beef. So picky that hamburgers, and ribs are about the only beef I will eat. I ordered the Bacon Cheese Burger. The prices are about the same as Red Robin. I liked that they use a real piece of lettuce instead of the lump of shredded stuff or as I call it a mini salad. I think the patties could have been a bit bigger, I like a big meaty hamburger.
Edit: I came back a second time to see what a busy hour would be like. It was actually pretty good, earning this another star. I am the type that will hide earplugs under my hair at noisy places, this was at a good noise level. -

Decent burgers, but rather pricey. The pros would be that they do great chicken and turkey burgers, the sweet potato fries and onion rings are top notch, and the service is generally quick.
the cons are that the burgers are always on the greasy side without being flavorful enough to warrant it, the place feels like a glorified fast food chain, and the layout makes navigating through it when it's crowded a pain in the ass.
If you're in the area and are craving a burger, Blazing Onion will hit the spot. But not a place you'd go out of your way for. -

After trying a couple other burger places with ground chuck, I tried the Blazing Onion burger (not my choice but coworker ordering thought Bacon Burger was Onion Burger - when I asked for Onion Rings instead of fries)
This time I went for 2 patties - at least he got that part and the onion rings right.
Needless to say, after 2 patties, grilled onions and onion rings I am finally full.
The burger was cooked well done, a plus for me! It was still juicy, and in spite of no bacon, was good. If you like grilled onions on your burger - the Blazing Onion Burger is for you . . . now if it only had BACON on it!Listed in: Cheeseburgers In Paradise

Went there with one of my roommates today, and I'm still burping up their delicious sweet potato fries...
This is the 2nd time I've been here, the first time I don't really remember it much, but I know I ordered a cheeseburger...so plain of me. This time I decided to kick it up a notch and I got the Mediterranean Greek burger.
So good. So very, very good.
Feta, red onions, pepperoncinis, olive tapenade (I know, just trust me), garlic mayo, on a ciabatta. Dude, so tasty. The olive tapenade wasn't over powering at all, but paired so nicely with the feta. Oh, and it usually comes with sun-dried tomatoes but I asked for it off. I also splurged and upgraded to sweet potato fries, so very worth the $1whatever extra. So for my 'burger', fries, and a small soda it was around $12-13 bucks. I couldn't even finish my burger or all my fries, I was stuffed full. I think it was well worth all my hard-earned monies.
My roommate got the Buffalo burger, it was good but way too messy (saucy) for my taste. They do have good craft beers on tap, that made my day. They had Arrogant B*stard, Manny's, Stone, Mac n Jack's and a few others.
Parking was fine for us, there's the Blazing Onion lot, but we came from the Town Center and parked on the back main street. -

Great service right off the bat - warm, fun, knowledgable. We ordered a few burgers to taste what they had and found all three to be okay: small patties, sturdy and flavorful buns, and lacked seasoning. The onion rings were good. Atmosphere and service keep this place on my return-to list.

This place has a TON of burger options. SO many its actually hard to decide. Well, not really for me, since I am such a picky eater, and end up changing everything on a burger anyways. But for a normal person it would be hard. The first time I went there I tried their mushroom swiss burger, it was ok but not that great. The 2nd time, I had the bacon cheeseburger, it was good. The last time I went there though, I got the bacon cheeseburger, on ciabatta with chipotle mayo, and half french fries and half sweet potato fries. It was delicious.
The place has a lot of options to meet everyone's needs, and the prices are reasonable as well.
Plus, as I have mentioned before... I love Mill Creek town center. Its nice to eat in their outside seating when the weather is nice. Great place for a burger
