The burgers are delicious, especially if you like smashed patties! Fries were good too -- you have to buy them separately, but there's enough for sharing.

One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Simple and delicious, nice and smashed with those yummy crispy bits on the edges. Fries were perfectly cooked and the jaew bong mayo had just the right amount of heat. Yum.

Burgers tasted great and fresh but fries could’ve been a bit better. Service was amazing and seating area had a nice vibe. Price was fair for the food and area, would definitely go again.

Visited with a colleague for a late lunch to take advantage of the happy hour menu beginning at 2pm. Tried 3 different varieties of the happy hour smash burgers and the old fashioned. It was all delicious. Service was friendly. Prices were reasonable. Parking was a bit more difficult but ultimately located street parking (paid) after looking for 10min. Would revisit again.

They told me burgers were just burgers. That meat and bread were finite things. They were wrong.
Because then I met him — Chef Ralph. The man, the myth, the culinary demigod behind Ox Burgers.
The first time I walked into Ox, the air was thick with something divine. Not just the scent of sizzling beef or the whisper of garlic in the aioli — no, it was the unmistakable presence of greatness. And at the heart of it stood Ralph. Calm. Focused. A spatula in one hand, destiny in the other.
When my order was called — a simple cheeseburger and fries — I felt the earth shift. The first bite? My soul left my body. The second? It came back just to weep.
Ralph doesn’t just cook. He composes symphonies of flavor, stories of heat and char and love. His sear technique? A masterclass in Maillard reaction romance. His buns? Pillow-soft poetry. Every condiment, every topping — placed with the care of a sculptor carving marble. Each burger he makes is not food, it’s an emotion.
I once saw a grown man cry at the counter after finishing his meal. Ralph walked over, patted him on the back, and whispered, “Next time try the Laos burger” The man nodded like he’d been given purpose again.
Chef Ralph isn’t just a chef. He’s a healer, a flavor prophet. A burger bard telling greasy tales that live in your memory long after the plate is empty.
Ox Burgers isn’t a restaurant. It’s a temple. And Ralph? He’s the high priest of the patty.

Great burger joint, the straightforward cheese burger is one of the best smash burgers I've had, and their other Korean inspired burgers are very good too. Definitely give them a try. They also have interesting sauces to try out.

Best burger in Seattle, fries are delicious and I always splurge for the chocolate chip cookie! Cant recommend enough!

Only had take-out. The Lao burger is good - love how they smash it. However, it was almost too salty for me to finish, and dripping with sauce. Less salt and sauce would improve it.

This was our first stop after landing in Seattle. We just happened to come across it, and I'm glad we did. The burgers were amazing (Lao and cheeseburger)! I ordered the chicken sandwich and had trouble finishing it because the chicken was so big. It still tasted great, though. The seating was a bit cramped, but all in all, I would recommend it!

One of the best hidden/secret gems that I debated gate keeping but this spot is just too good.
I love LOVE their burgers so much and they’re so generous with the size of the food. I like going for happy hour and getting a cold tall rainier while eating my smash burger. Seating is limited but you can sit outside if you’re a trooper or if we get some rare sunlight.
I like the vibes around this around bc it’s further away from the chaos of Broadway but still close enough for a mid length walk to the light rail.
The workers are really nice and offer good service, and seem like they get along well. It’s a tiny space inside but honestly an amazing spot to get a cozy smash burger ?
Omfg this place is so good! I could not recommend this place more. Especially if you’re looking for a memorable burger experience. The flavors are astounding. I don’t know what they do to this me but it’s probably illegal :-) I’ve had almost everything on the menu. I will say the chicken sandwich has a little too much breading, but otherwise perfect. I hope you guys open more locations.

Me and my wife were on vacation and we were looking for something local and delicious and I promise you it was this place! The food was amazing! The burger was fresh and tasty. The fish sandwich tasted like it was cooked fresh out of the sea. The music in the restaurant was a nice vibe for people who like music with some beat in it. And I will be posting this on other platforms because this place was GREAT.

The happy hour cheeseburger and fries!
Under $11 including tax *and* $2 tip!! And it's one of the best smash patties in the city.
The fries were seasoned perfectly and hot and very crispy. The burg was obviously perfect. It's a shame I would probably die of a heart attack if I ate it any more often.
Also, I appreciate all the compostable packaging. ✨
I also highly recommend the Lao burger, and I do think it's worth it, but the Happy Hour deal is great.

Good vegetarian burger, strong drinks, order one French fries for two people, it is so many.
