Red Mill Burgers

Phinney Ridge, Seattle · Burgers · $$

Red Mill has taken Seattle Weekly's Best Burger title for ten consecutive years running a formula that never needed updating: charbroiled patties, melted cheese, and cornmeal-dusted onion rings - regulars call them Babe's Rings - fried to a peppery crunch. The Phinney Ridge original still runs it on fire-engine-red picnic tables, thick-cut bacon piled on by request, milkshakes churned the old way. It's the order-at-the-counter joint that outlasts every trend because it never chased one.
