Broiler Bay, Shoreline

Broiler Bay is a self-proclaimed mom 'n' pop burger shop serving up juicy charbroiled patties that Seattle Magazine considers to be among the Best 5 Burgers Under $5. Unlike many other burger joints that dress up their meat with unusual accouterments and bright red lipstick, this eatery outfits its burgers with simple, distinctly American garnishes, such as chili, bacon, and swiss cheese. For a complete meal, add a shake or malt blended with hard ice cream, and a side order such as the hand-made onion rings, called "tender, flavor-packed bangles" by a writer for Seattle Weekly. For the early risers, Broiler Bay recently opened Fresh Press, a coffee & espresso bar and are now open all day.
