|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 9/27/2023 | New York | 10 | 7 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 8.3125 | Excellent egg and bacon addon (best bacon on a burger ever); the american wagyu and bread were great! | |
1 | 7/27/2026 | NYC | 10 | 7 | 10 | 7 | 7 | 8.3125 | Bun was soft, supple, and not too much bread as to be filling like Au Cheval. The meat is so juicy and bleeds right onto the plate. The onions are even slightly caramelized onions. Iceberg lettuce and tomatoes available but they were plain. | |
2 | 7/26/2026 | NYC | 8 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 8.1875 | Perfect balance with the kimchi sauce, pickles, onions. The smash patties were also charred really well with a noticeable crust. Buns, while soft and fluffy, held it together well | |
3 | 9/1/2016 | Seattle | 10 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 8 | 7.9375 | Melted cheese was great, pickles were the perfect accent, meat and house sauce was good and very filling burger | |
3 | 9/1/2020 | Bay Area | 10 | 7 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 7.9375 | Excellent umami from the 50/50 wagyu mix. Niku is a legendary wagyu importer, and their burger is an excellent tease into what they can offer. | |
4 | 7/26/2026 | NYC | 8 | 7 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 7.8125 | Compared to 4Charles, it was a bit richer than i remember which hurt its overall balance. The difference is ‘wagyu’ so the other categories should be equivalent. | |
5 | 12/11/2022 | Bay Area | 8 | 7 | 6 | 9 | 8 | 7.625 | The burger was good, but the fried chicken sandwich was superior. Pickled onions, garlic aioli, and the juiciest fried chicken ever stand out | |
6 | 8/20/2022 | Barcelona | 7 | 8 | 6 | 9 | 8 | 7.5625 | While the meat was a little more rare (‘al punto’) than I would have liked, the classic Asado burger had great veggies (pickled red onion), sauce (chimichurri), dry aged beef, and mayo confit. Overall delicious! | |

8 | 4/1/2016 | Seattle | 9 | 8 | 8 | 5 | 7 | 7.5 | The meat A+ | |
9 | 7/1/2024 | New York | 7 | 8 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 7.1875 | Dry aged beef, special Emmy sauce, caramelized onion, pickle, pretzel bun Something with the sauce or onions made the flavor almost sweet. the dry aged meat blended into the background behind so many strong accompanying flavors from the cheese, sauce, onions, and pickles. | |
10 | 12/23/2022 | Bay Area | 9 | 7 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 7.125 | An excellent charcoal grilled burger. Vegetables were average but the house thousand island + mayo and meat combo are the highlights | |
11 | 11/6/2025 | Singapore | 8 | 8 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 7.0625 | - chicken is dark meat - batter is done well and crunchy - cheese melted on nicely - sauce is savory and well balanced - pineapple added sweetness - and the red cabbage choice was great texture | |
12 | 4/1/2016 | Bay Area | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | Great fresh taste, soul food for Californians | |
13 | 5/1/2016 | LA | 7 | 4 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 6.625 | Coleslaw on the burger - good. Pickles - bad. | |
14 | 4/1/2016 | Bay Area | 7 | 6 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 6.4375 | Great overall burger | |
15 | 9/30/2023 | New York | 7 | 7 | 10 | 3 | 5 | 6.4375 | Super soft potato bun, very similar to Shake Shack. No veggies hurts this burger but it’s an excellent any time of day eat. | |
16 | 3/9/22 | Atlanta | 5 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 6 | 6.3125 | ||
17 | 12/1/2017 | York | 10 | 8 | 8 | 1 | 3 | 6.25 | “purist” NY burger. Steakhouse patty, onion, bun. Meat+Cheese fantastic. Oozing. Bread held up well, tough exterior but soft inside. Great bread. Adding steak sauce made it better. | |
31 | 10/21/2024 | Bikini Bottom | 6 | 0 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 5.0625 | Short rib + penang curry special burger for the anniversary of the krabby patty | |
32 | 4/1/2016 | Seattle | 6 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 6.1875 | A better version of the average burger | |
33 | 4/1/2016 | Bay Area | 8 | 7 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 6.125 | Charcoal grilled, unique great flavor | |
34 | 6/28/26 | SF | 7 | 8 | 6 | 3 | 6 | 6.0625 | ||
35 | 4/1/2016 | Bay Area | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | Customization, one of my earliest ‘fav burgers’ in high school | |
36 | 4/1/2016 | Seattle | 6 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 8 | 6 | Nice hole in the wall by UW, great sauce | |
37 | 8/1/2016 | Seattle | 5 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 5.9375 | Toasted buns and really well melted cheese. Overall good, if they made their meat better it would be a real treat | |

39 | 7/1/2020 | Bay Area | 7 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5.6875 | ||
40 | 12/1/2016 | Tokyo | 6 | 8 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5.625 | Very fresh burger, veggies were overpowering at times, size of tomato did not fit bun. Cheddar Cheese melted very well. Meat high quality. Mysterious sauce was watery and added an indiscernable taste that reminded of mayo. Bread was crispy and toasted. Weak bun did not hold burger together well | |
41 | 4/1/2016 | Seattle | 7 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 6 | 5.3125 | The "Hangover" with bacon, fries, etc. Tasty. | |
42 | 7/1/2016 | Banff | 6 | 6 | 6 | 4 | 4 | 5.25 | Bread is supple, yellowish like cornbread? Very soft. | |
43 | 7/1/2016 | Bangkok | 4 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 4 | 5.125 | Really interesting black bun burger, i think it's charcoal smoked. The beef tastes differently from meat in the US and its different from Clark's so I'm not sure if it's charcoal but it is a little smoky. Sort of like theres something mixed in with the beef. Maybe just pepper? Some spice. The cheese is unimpressive, decidedly average. They put a waffle fry in the burger, it went well. Just barely taste it. Pickles and grilled onions and perhaps a single tomato were also included, but the flavor didn't overpower any other part of the burger. Well mixed. | |
44 | 4/1/2016 | Seattle | 6 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 6 | 5.0625 | Interesting burger combinations, just not my style | |
45 | 4/19/2026 | San Francisco | 6 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 6 | 5.0625 | Cost extra to add tomato?? And the bun was cold. But, the sauce was yummy | |
46 | 4/1/2016 | USA | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | The "AVERAGE" burger. All 5's. | |
47 | 5/1/2016 | LA | 6 | 4 | 7 | 4 | 3 | 4.875 | Arugula in the burger was too strong | |
48 | 1/25/2022 | Bay Area | 6 | 5 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 4.6875 | Typical/average burger. Raw lettuce isn’t good IMO but the bread was soft. | |
49 | 4/1/2016 | Seattle | 5 | 5 | 4 | 6 | 3 | 4.625 | In n Out knockoff… its okay but more expensive | |
50 | 12/1/2016 | San Francisco | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4.1875 | Buns toasted a little too black, kind of crunchy. Red onions not so good. | |
51 | 12/1/2016 | Seattle | 4 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4.1875 | Southwestern Burger - Meat dry, bun was overwhelming, avocado was good, kind of lukewarm when it came out | |
52 | 4/1/2016 | London | 4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3.8125 | Not very tasty for "London's best burger" | |
53 | 11/22/2025 | Miami / Cruise | 4 | 1 | 6 | 3 | 5 | 3.8125 | ||
54 | 4/1/2016 | Seattle | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 3.625 | Unmemorable… should try again | |
55 | 4/1/2016 | Seattle | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Novel "umami" flavor, but not amazing | |
56 | 5/1/2016 | Seattle | 3 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2.4375 | Only eat if starving in airport and haven't had lunch yet | |
57 | 7/1/2016 | Busan | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2.1875 | Typical fast food brand cheeseburger. Slightly better than McDonalds due to its special sauce which is a little more generous than mcd's is with their big Mac sauce. Still the vegetables and sauce overpower the meat and cheese in a negative way. Every ingredient seems heated up so it's not fresh and not desirable except in the "I have to catch my train" mindset, which is incidentally what we're in. | |
58 | 4/1/2016 | Earth | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1.1875 | So bad… but so good.. |
