My conclusion: overrated
Saturday, May 03, 2008
I've been living in Seattle for a couple of years now and have been looking forward to trying Red Mill Burgers -- I've heard a lot about it. Like a previous reviewer, I use In-N-Out as the benchmark when it comes to burgers. Today I tried it and thought the overall experience was just ok. There was a bit of a wait but that was understandable based on the line. I tried the Double Deluxe Burger and enjoyed the spicy chili powder-ish kick but overall, I thought the burger was just, er, run-of-the-mill -- no pun intended. Having said that, the fries were fantastic. Overall, its worth trying if you're new to the area and maybe worth a stop if you're in the vicinity, but Red Mill Burgers is not a place I will go out of my way to return to. In my opinion, Burgermaster and Fatburger are better alternatives in Seattle.
In response to the previous reviewer's nonsensical rant about Californians, all I have to say is: DUDE! I moved here from California too and last time I checked, every citizen was free to move where they please in this country. You need to face the fact that we are absolutely and without a shadow of a doubt cooler than you. We only moved here to leech off of the lower cost of living. Once we consume your resources and turn Seattle into another LA, we'll all move back to Cali - job well done. In-N-Out is the best and that's all there is to it.
Pros: good prices, good vibe
Cons: its hard to live up to the high expectations
