19 Best American Restaurants in Burien

“We eat at Little Chicken Burger at least once a week. The food and shakes are fabulous. The Angus beef burgers are flavorful and juicy. The people that run it are so nice! My family totally recommends this place!“

“My daughter and her wife treated me to lunch here on Galentines Day. I highly recommend! The menu is a great mix of Mexican food, American food (I had a Denver omelette which was excellent), sandwiches and burgers and a great selection of sides. I highly recommend the baked brussels sprouts with bacon and a tasty glaze which we all shared. They serve beer and wine and a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages. Compliments to the chef! Wendy our server was super sweet and attentive. It's a small, clean place with a chill vibe. Give it a try....you won't be disappointed!“

“siempre atentos a los negocios hispanos en el área de burien wa.“

“This is one of the best places I have eaten period. I have never had 5 star cooking from a fancy chef like Bobby Flay or iron Chef Cat Cora. But I feel like if I did this should be the level of cooking I should get. The buttermilk biscuit and creole chicken with that honey and cream sauce was absolutely AMAZING.. Thank you for suck good food.“

“Great food, service and vibe! Will definitely be back“

“stopped in after getting off the airplane bc my dog is named Huckleberry. DELICIOUS food, and so many Huckleberry desserts! Will definitely rewritten next time I'm in town!“

“I've come to this place since I was 11 years old, the food is the same the place is the same. If you are looking for good food good price with little to no fuss this is the place for you. I especially liked that I went in and ordered my food separate. The guy taking my order changed my option to the meal making the whole thing $8.00 less. He did not have to do that, I would have paid for the food separately but he went out of his way to make it more affordable for me.
it makes me feel appreciated so I appreciate them.“

“Always great food we go there often for date night😋🤫“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“Got avocado toast with salmon and egg basically got everything It was good I would definitely come back Thank you“

“I got a burger, some fried, and a couple of Rainiers. I appreciated that even though it was a bar, and a sports bar at that, that the music wasn't too loud. The food was delicious though the burger was a tad smaller than id like, but it was juicy and cooked perfectly. My only real gripe is that I was meeting a large group and found that they only had one space setup to accommodate such a number, which was their square corner nook by the front door.“

“Our favorite neighborhood bar. The staff is excellent and Dan hosts great Monday Night Trivia. They have amazing bands on the regular. A+!“

“great bands on the weekends and fun Tuesday jam sessions“

“Great food and fast service! The waitress was wonderful! I had the grilled salmon. it was amazing!“

“the juicy Lucy is great. cold beer. great atmosphere“

“Taco Tueaday and their carnitas 🤤🤤❤“

“It was a late and chilly hour in February when we stepped into this place and were immediately welcomed by the warm 'pub-like' atmosphere and the friendly staff. Didn't get the chance to try the food but noticed their kitchen does stay open later than most restaurants in this area! Their beer was tasty and cold. We will definitely be back.“

“We came up to Seattle for a weekend and Shelly’s was the first place we ate at. It has a very home-y feel and the service was great and friendly. We had the pleasure of meeting Shelly and she was an absolute doll! Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make it back and eat there a second time, but I wish we would’ve! The food and service is amazing.“

“I went to Denny’s recently and honestly, I had such a great experience. From the moment I walked in, everything felt warm and welcoming. The place was super clean, bright, and cozy. Even the little garden area outside looked really nice and well kept, which gave the restaurant a friendly, homey touch before even going inside.

The staff was amazing! Everyone I met was kind, cheerful, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. The hostess greeted me with a big smile, and my server was super attentive the whole time — always checking to make sure I had everything I needed. My coffee cup was never empty, and even though the place got a bit busy, they still made sure everyone was taken care of. That kind of service makes a huge difference.

Now about the food — it was so good. I ordered the Build Your Own Grand Slam, and everything came out hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The pancakes were soft and fluffy, the bacon was crispy, and the eggs were exactly how I asked for them. You can really taste that classic Denny’s flavor that’s comforting and consistent no matter when you go. I also treated myself to a milkshake, and wow — it was thick, creamy, and full of flavor. Definitely one of the best milkshakes I’ve had in a while.

One thing I really appreciate about Denny’s is the overall atmosphere. It’s one of those places where you can just relax, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed. Whether you come in for breakfast, lunch, or a late-night snack, it always feels like a comfortable spot to hang out with friends or family.

Overall, I absolutely loved my visit. The combination of delicious food, friendly staff, and a clean, inviting environment made it a great experience from start to finish. You can tell the team here really cares about their customers and takes pride in what they do. I’ll definitely be coming back soon — and I highly recommend this Denny’s to anyone looking for good food and a good time!“
