Review from Diane C.
We visited Red Mill Burger's Magnolia location here in Seattle after seeing it featured months ago on Travel Channel's Man v. Food (MvF post coming soon)! This is definitely a must have burger experience in Seattle.
The burgers are classic and the onion rings are epic. I love the Bacon Deluxe Burger w/cheese...hold the lettuce. The red onions and pickle add the perfect crispness keeping the whole burger tasting super fresh. The cheese is melted perfectly against the meat. And the peppered bacon makes it a classic burger experience with a twist.
Close second: Bleu Cheese 'N Bacon Burger. It's creamy, meaty deliciousness.
I'd recommend Babe's Onion Rings over the fries, nothing against the fries, but the rings...the rings! They are so crunchy and savory, you seriously can hear the crunch from at least ten feet away! When your teeth crunch into this tasty side order, the entire onion doesn't come with it. I mean, check out my photos! Don't you wish you had one right now?! Bottom line: Seattle must! -

A real head-scratcher of an experience. I really, really wanted to love this place but left underwhelmed and disappointed, as did my mom.
I ordered a cheeseburger and fries, and she ordered a bacon deluxe cheeseburger and fries. We bit into our burgers, anticipating a burst of yummy flavors, and got ... basically nothing.
I thought maybe I was just imagining things, but each bite tasted the same. The bun seemed fresh and was nicely toasted, but something was off about the patty. It looked like something you'd get in a school cafeteria or a hospital. The meat was pale gray, with a chewy texture. I detected a very faint grilled flavor that was overwhelmed by a "frozen patty" taste. I thought Red Mill makes their patties fresh?
The lettuce was so limp and slimy that it might as well have been boiled; any attempts to bite pieces off resulted in the entire leaf sliding out, so I finally removed it from my burger. At one point, I actually looked inside the burger to make sure they had put the sauce on because I couldn't taste it. Yup. It was there. What the?
The fries were OK but underwhelming. They looked good but tasted stale, like they had been pulled from a freezer.
Later on, I asked my mom what she had thought of the food. Other than the bacon, which was quite good, her experience mirrored mine.
The environment was decent. Crowded, but we ate outside in our car so we could watch the sun set over the water, so it didn't bother us at all. Most of the staff were friendly, except for the girl who rolled her eyes when my mom asked for extra napkins.
I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll give this place another try. Maybe if someone else is buying. -

Quite overrated. The burgers are good and you can ask for them medium rare which is nice. The bacon is tasty (though crispy and cooked way ahead of time). And though they have a huge tower of bacon (cool to see) I really am not sure why anyone would want there bacon cooked hours ahead of time.
The kaiser bun option is nice as well and the onion rings, fries and shakes are all pretty good. The prices are a little expensive, I always get a double with rings and a shake and its like $16.
Overall decent and most people would think really good but if you are looking for the perfect burger place in Seattle, keep looking. -

Taking a journey to Red Mill reminds me of a National Geographic episode that I saw as a kid about a group of monkeys that migrates yearly to a remote place to eat a load of bananas...only to die of indigestion on the trip home. The Red Mill Deluxe with Bacon, shakes, and onion rings are so good that its sometimes tough to make it home from this place on your own two legs! Very delicious.

Their burgers are tasty. They have huge stacks of bacon on the grill. They make bacon look GOOOD. I can't say anything more than that, give it a try for yourself - I think you won't be disappointed.

Restaraunt/Location: Dining area is small. There are long lines after opening so I suggest coming during non-peak hours.
Red Mill Burger is connected to Starbucks, so if you see a Starbucks, the restaraunt is on the left.
Customer Service: The dude taking the order was friendly but don't bother giving your real name, they'll most likely get it wrong. My brother used Lance and they called for Lenny, I used Marlo and they called me Marco. The total wait time from order to pick up was 7 minutes. I suggest using a simple name so its easier to identify when your food is ready for pick up.
Food/quality: I ordered the Verde burger and onion rings.
-The Verde Burger was about average. Nothing really spectacular. The burger bun was warm and lightly toasted on the inside. The Anaheim peppers were mild; The peppers gave the burger a nice taste. Not hot or spicy as indicated by the signs hanging under the menu.
-The onion rings were amazing. Best onion rings I've tasted. The onion rings were crispy and sweet. I would come back just for the onion rings alone. -

Any place that has a visible stack of fried bacon sitting next to the grill ready to jump on a delicious burger must be doing something right. The burgers at Red Mill are downright mouth-watering, their special "Mill sauce" has a good amount of kick and the menu is classic with a few unique inventions (I love the Verde Burger!). Their milkshakes are also pretty amazing, although by the time you add one to a burger and fries you've easily surpassed $10 (note: they only accept cash). I don't love the fries (the thick cut just isn't my style), but the burgers are so good I keep coming back.
Red Mill is one of my favorite burger places in Seattle, the only reason it only gets 4 stars is the inevitably long line and limited seating. But there's definitely a reason for the line! They do also have a nice picnic table outside if you can snag it. -

Great burger. So-so environment. We got in at the last minute, so unfortunately the place was in a hurry to close up.
The 4 stars are strictly for the food. -

Verde Burger w/extra Mill sauce + Onion rings w/tartar sauce = AMAZING!
Came here from California after seeing it on Man vs. Wild. We tried the bacon deluxe as well, but didn't think it was all that great. That verde burger is amazing. Beef, pepper jack cheese, roasted anaheim peppers, and a kaiser roll are what make this burger great.
The onion rings are fantastic. They are lightly battered, but seasoned well. The mark of a great onion ring is one where the onion doesn't fall out when you bite into it. -

I DO NOT eat burgers, I DO NOT like burgers, but I will eat Red Mill Burgers' burgers with enthusiasm! My mother first attempted to feed me other "fast food" burgers when I was 3 years old - I would not touch them. Red Mill Burgers is the first "fast food" burger I have ever eaten. They are the only "fast food" burgers I will eat. I recommend the BBQ burger. And don't forget a shake - peanut butter is my favorite :-)

The burgers here are AMAZING! I'm normally not a huge burger fan and never go out of my way to eat them. However, I was dragged here by my boyfriend one night and it was an unforgettable experience.
I got a deluxe cheeseburger and it was SO moist and juicy, and the sauce is SO good! I ended up scarfing down the entire burger, and then having a craving for burgers again the next day. The onion rings were good too... crispy, and full of flavor. This place lives up to its hype. I always thought all burgers tasted the same, but that was before I experienced Red Mill. If you haven't tried it yet, now is the time! -

Hands down, my favorite burger place in WA! Even when I think about their burgers, I get all excited...
Excellent ratio of distributing the meat with the lettuce and all the other condiments and ingredients. Crisp bacon in the burger and the fact that the burger was moist and not dry is a plus! Onion rings were great although I think I've had some that tasted similar somewhere..
Joyful experience every time I go there. they have lived up to alot of people's expectations and I am one of the very pleased customers. Amen -

First off, crowded as hell! And it's so small. I saw this place on the food network and the boyfriend and I went here after going to the zoo. I was pretty excited as it's got a pretty good reputation (it was on TV for god's sakes!).
I was so excited for the red onion jam burger (caramelized onions, mmm!) and honestly I was not impressed. I wanted a hint of onion on there but it was slathered with them and made it slimy and just too much. Too much of a good thing is definitely possible and it was realized in this burger. My bf wasn't into his burger either! Just wasn't a great eating experience, unfortunately.
The only thing I was impressed with was the HUGE pile of bacon that was being made and waiting to be put onto burgers.
Probably won't be back, sorry Red mill! -

Very small place with not very much seating. It can get crowded very quickly. Cash or check only. The burgers are pretty good. I got the deluxe with cheese. The real reason I come here are for the ONION RINGS. That's a definite must. I want to try the milkshakes next time. They also offer chicken & veggie burgers.
Like I said.. ONION RINGS -

Winner of best burger in Seattle 10 years in a row. Walking in, you'll see posters with huge piles of bacon and the grill, with a mountain of bacon. The menu is mostly burgers, plus chicken sandwiches, shakes, and sides. They make their own Mill Sauce - mayo with a light smoky flavor.
The décor has a retro diner meets carnival feel and they have menus from the original Red Mill from the 1930s. Though the room is small, the noise level is through the roof. I don't know how it could be that noisy.
* Verde burger ($5.80): Fire roasted anaheim peppers, jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, Mill sauce, flame broiled burger on a pillowy, soft, big Kaiser bun. The veggies were fresh and the sauce tasty. However, the burger was well done. It wasn't juicy at all. I wonder if you can specify how well done you want the burger?
Onions rings seemed to be more popular than fries. The fries were thick cut, lightly crispy, and underseasoned.
They have their own parking lot. Cash only.Listed in: Space Needle City, Diners and greasy spoons

(These notes were taken from my 2009 experience...how I didn't rate it on Yelp until now is beyond me)
I ordered the Verde Burger (which has fire-roasted Anaheim peppers, jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and Mill sauce) and some of Babe's onion rings.
The onion rings were very good. They were crunchy and flavorful, not greasy.
I liked the burger here. The Anaheim pepper was not spicy for me, but it did give a different flavor dimension. The Kaiser bun is a wonderful choice, giving off a combination of crusty, chewy, and crumbly experiences. Finally, the Mill Sauce brings everything together.
There is a reason why Red Mill Burgers is so popular. It may be considered fast food to a lot of people, but man, they do burgers, fries, and onion rings damn well. The Travel Channel picked a heck of a place to highlight on Man v. Food, and I'm glad I got to experience some of Red Mill's finest offerings.Listed in: Man v. Food Places

The food was pretty good, but I don't know if it was worth the trek and the wait. The food is very fresh and they work as fast as they can to serve the dozens of people who come through the door. There's less than 10 tables though, so it's probably a better idea to get the food to go.
I had the grilled onion garden burger with the herb mayo. That was tasty, but I thought the onion rings I ordered were too salty for my taste. My friend ordered the bacon deluxe burger but said that the Red Mill sauce wasn't doing it for him--too intense. I saw this place on Food Network, so I thought if I was visiting Seattle it was worth the shot to try and go. I wasn't wow-ed but I also wasn't disappointed. -

I was advised to eat here by my boss at work and he proved that, the boss is always right. Although cash only, and a little bit of a wait when there's a lot of people, it was worth it! The burger was just heaven, I just had the original Red Mill Burger with nothing fancy, just the sauce, lettuce, tomatoe, BOOM!!!

Had seen Red Mill Burgers on Food TV shows saying how good it was, so decided to give them a try. My wife and I were quite disappointed over all. The burgers were OK, but the onion rings & fries had apparently been cooked in old oil used to fry fish? Tasted like fish ring and fries-YUK! My wife commented that the bacon used was very good, but outside of that, not good. Also there was little room for customers to be seated. Cannot recommend Red Mill, Five Guys knocks them out of the park!

Tried this place after all the hype. Couple problems IMO. They only take cash or checks(seriously). Bun on my burger was just ok. Nothing that blew me away... ive had much better/fresher. Fries, good stuff. Deluxe w/cheese was good, but didnt blow my mind.. would i drive again or just hit Dicks( closer to I5)...dicks wins.
Place is to small also.
Good stuff but didnt give me the wow factor to come back. -

Positive: Peppered Bacon on ANYTHING. Yumm!
Bacon pile. 'Nuff said.
Saw this on Food Network and just HAD to come.
Located right next to Starbucks, this super casual little corner burger joint is great! With outdoor seating to boot, their burgers make a great lunch on a sunny day. We ordered the Bacon Deluxe with Peppered Bacon and Grilled Onions, a Peanut Chocolate Shake, and Onion Rings with Ranch. The service was super fast. And they even cut the burger we were sharing without us asking.
The Shake was so delicious. My friend wanted me to quot him in this Yelp review. "I want to go swimming in this shake." With chunks of peanuts, thick, chocolate, it was a delicious blend for the warm weather. =)
The onion ring batter also had a nice heat/spice to it. Everything is spicy and peppery here! -

Came here for the first time with a new friend of mine to see what all the hype was about and I have to say, it lived up to the hype!
I had the cheeseburger and it was delicious! The ingredients looked and tasted so fresh and it just looked like a piece of art. Most places seem to slop a burger together and then smash it in whatever wrapper they serve it in but not here. At Red Mill Burgers it seems like the people who make the food actually enjoy it and care about its presentation (+4 stars!)
I wasn't a huge fan of the fries, McDonald's still has the best in my opinion, but they weren't bad, just a little thicker than I like.
I'll definitely be back, probably with some friends, and next time I want to try the onion rings. -

*CASH ONLY!!!
I need to go back ASAP and try the onion rings and milkshakes! Yesterday I just had the Verde burger and tried my friend's Red Mill Deluxe burger.
I loved the Red Mill sauce but was slightly disappointed that the burger looked so neat. Nothing spilling over or dripping. Is it weird that I want a messy burger experience?
Surprisingly no line, quick service and a good burger for the right price. The bun was fresh, the meat was cooked well and the chilis were not too spicy but added good flavor.
I'll be back! -

After some of the hype I've read about Red Mill Burgers, it really didn't put me over the edge. I had a Blue Cheese burger and a shake, all I can say is that it was SOLID. I wasn't blown away. Great burger joint with outstanding diner decor, but nothing really that I couldn't have just made at home.
Enjoy, but don't get your hopes up. -

Such an amazing place to go! After a defeat on the soccer pitch, we headed to the Red Mill and all was right with the world! Especially when my little player witnessed the bacon stack! He perked right up, and enjoyed lunch, leaving his grumpy mood behind! Thanks Red Mill!

I ordered a chicken burger & specified the CHICKEN part because there is also a sign there that says to. I just went for take-out since it was packed. I got home to find out my burger was a beef burger instead of the chicken burger I ordered. I wasn't very pleased since I was very hungry & I even specified about that CHICKEN part, grrrr.
I haven't been back since.
The burgers aren't anything special anyways. -

In terms of taste, it was on par with the other reviews on here, quite tasty. The reason it got 3 stars from me is because this place only accepted cash and recommended customers to get cash from the nearest ATM in a bar with a surcharge of $4. Plus I'm not a fan of expensive burgers; paying $13 for a burger, fries, and med coke seems a bit harsh on the pocket book. But it definitely beats mcdonalds or Dick's burgers by a landslide, so I would recommend.

My only complaint is that it's cash only!! These burgers are beyond amazing - they are juicy, fresh, and flavorful. I always get a burger with bacon and cheese, and it is never too greasy or cold. We've also tried the verde burger, which has a great zing to it.
We often like to get fries or onion rings, which are always crispy but not burned. However, because of how big the burgers are, we stopped getting them unless we are starving.
Overall, I would eat here any day, all day, if I could have these burgers. -

Red Mill Burger is tasty.
Plain cheeseburger - not so great.
French Fries are yummy.
Crowded spot especially on Saturdays. -

The Verde Burger (with Anaheim Peppers) is tasty, but the bun leaves a lot to be desired. The onion rings on the other hand are the best I've ever had. The batter is beyond amazing.
While Red Mill is thoroughly enjoyable, it wasn't the best burger I've ever had. -

Mixed feelings on this one.
Delicious: Blue Cheese Burger - just yum! Fries - fresh and crispy. The truffle mint shake...OMG tastes exactly like an Andes mint in shake form! So good!
Mediocre: Red Mill Chicken Sandwich - A little too much mayo, but good flavor (yeah..yeah..not a burger, but I didn't feel like a burger at the moment!) & onion rings - too much batter, but good-sized piece of onion
Not so delicious: Chile verde burger - bland, if you add salt it helps.
Prices are definitely reasonable (~$5 a burger). -

I'm a huge burger fan so I had to check this place out! It's really out of the way for me, but what an excellent treat! The restaurant is incredibly small and was super crowded when I went (with the line out the door!). But man, their burgers are tasty! And so many choices! Also, the price is right. You get a lot of food for your money! Love it. I'd definitely go back all the time if it wasn't so far away from me!

Verde Burger is so good! Thank you Man v. Food for highlighting this restaurant. It looked so good on the show, I made a bee-line for it as soon as I landed at the airport (props to the Garmin for getting me there).
I didn't remember anything about CASH ONLY from the show, so I had to forsake the onion rings due to low cash flow.
I'll bring cash next time to get the rings and a T-Shirt... I can't wait for my next trip to Seattle so I can eat here again. -

I honestly have to say the burgers are just a little bit better then average. Sorry to crush all the dreams of the few people that haven't eaten here yet. That said, the onion rings are a must order. Just the right amount of spice, and the batter isn't heavy. Milkshakes are really flavorful and thick, and are the only beverage option if you're going to stop in and enjoy a burger. Check the daily special, it was Mushroom Swiss the day I came in. Prices are very affordable. Burgers are a little on the small side, so if you're really hungry, a double with onion rings and a shake is the only way to go.

Decided to try Red Mill out after seeing it on Man vs Food. The episode really talked up two areas, the block of bacon and the onion rings. I decided to go for a bacon burger which was definitely no mistake. The burger was huge and delicious. The onion rings actually disappointed though. Might be because I am not a huge onion ring guy in the first place. I guess I prefer onion rings that have thick pieces of onion in them, this way you can take a bite with out the whole onion going. Next time I will definitely go for the fries.

I am not one to go on and on about what place has the best burger. If it is good, it is good. However, this place was pretty mediocre.
I had the chile verde burger with jack cheese and onion rings. The burger itself was bland but it was really big. There was no beefy juiciness to the thing.
The onion rings looked awesome, but really just ended up being a lot of breading. It was crunchy though.
