I can't think of a reason to return.The signature Giddy Up burger isn't very good. Mine arrived undercooked and underseasoned with a handful (20?) of pickled jalapeños, two thin slices of criss-cross bacon, and some kind of sauce that maybe had some heat, but definitely lacked flavor.The friend cauliflower was just batterer an fried. The breading was forgettable. The strawberry milkshake was just a milkshake.There are better burgers for the money in Ballard, and Giddy Up didn't do anything particularly well. The staff was there, but not overly pleasant. A 20% tip and I bussed my own table...As I started - I can't name a good reason to return. There's just nothing that someone else in Ballard doesn't do better (flavor, atmosphere, service) or at least cheaper.

I have to agree with the other reviews. I think the burgers coming with a side would be better. We got 3 big cheese, 3 12oz milkshakes, 3 kids meals, 1 large drink, 1 large fry, 3 regular fry’s. Almost $130. For what you get I don’t think it was worth the price. Won’t be returning.

Great place to get a tasty burger. I enjoy them all so far. Fries are very good. Beers are $8, we skipped them last time. Big venue, I haven't had trouble finding a table ever.

Nice burger with reasonable price. The sweet potato fries is pretty decent, and cocktail comes with large portion.

I've been eyeing their burgers, and I finally got to try them last weekend. I went for the OMG burger with sweet potato fries, and it was definitely flavorful but somewhat average. I think it might be the Gruyère cheese that did it, but the burger turned out to be a tad greasy for my liking. As for the portion, I personally felt it was small for the price (close to $30), but paying high price for an average meal seems to be the norm in Seattle these days.

The burgers were very juicy and tasty. We could not even finish them because the portions are really generous. Lots of space in there.

I realize this is going to sound odd for having given them 3 stars, but I won't be going back. The burgers were good, and the onion rings crispy. But it's an average burger done well, and it's expensive. And when we asked for ranch sauce, it was 75.cents. It was $22 for a burger and fries and tip (for a place where you bus your table yourself.) It's just ridiculously expensive for what you get

Friendly service. A great choice if you're gluten-free. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer and gluten-free buns. And the Kraken game was on!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free buns. Dedicated gluten-free fryer!
This is one of my favorite burger places in Seattle. They have great burger options, deep fried veggies and plenty of tables.This is one of the places I can take my kids and they are happy, too. If you, like me, enjoy Chile peppers on your burger, you should try the one at giddy up, can't go wrong with that.

Good burgers, decent atmosphere, great place for a kids team party. Be sure to reserve tables in advance.
The burgers are good. But a meal here is expensive for what it is. The ice cream machine is sometimes broken. The staff is not especially helpful.

As a clean-eating ovovegetarian, appreciated that they have vegetarian and vegan options, but I would not recommend this restaurant. I ordered the hot greens and the white bean quinoa city slicker. It tastes good, not great. The white bean quinoa burger was meat textured, but fragmented with biting. The greens were extremely oily soaking through multiple napkins, not very flavorful worth $9. Also, they were not spicy, luckily they have Tabasco sauce and sriracha sauce available for you to add to your food. I requested an onion be added to my burger and got one sliver. I thought this place was overpriced, serving what I would consider a small fry, for almost $5. If you want a vegan burger, go to a vegan burger specialty spot.Interestingly, there are a lot of young children present, with their parents.They also have self serve ice cream with some toppings. No plant based options, though.
