Verdict: Our expert take on 206 Burger
Food (7 out of 10)
mentioned by 96% of the guests
It seems the culinary journey here is quite the mixed bag, with a solid 7 for food quality, though customer satisfaction sits at a more moderate 68%. Based on 150 comments, with 102 positive remarks, many diners rave about the fantastic veggie burgers and gluten-free options, praising the juicy, tasty burgers, crispy fries, and delicious hand-spun shakes. Specific items like the Seahawks and Kraken burgers, along with the quality of ingredients and sauces, frequently earn high praise.
However, the remaining 39 critical comments highlight some areas for improvement. Some found the burgers to be of mid-quality with unthought flavor combinations, while others were disappointed by disintegrating buns or milkshakes described as having fake syrup flavors. There were also reports of bland, dry grilled chicken, cold fries, and generally inconsistent food quality.

- serviceMy experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially concerning their accommodation for dietary restrictions. They were super accommodating for gluten sensitivity, even offering to grill my veggie burger instead of deep-frying it. The veggie burger itself was interesting, with a cornmeal-based flavor that I enjoyed.

- affordableSuper affordable
- affordable vegetarian lunch optionAfter trying ALL OF THEM, I can confidently say that 206 has Capitol Hill's BEST veggie burger. They mentioned it's family-made in-house, which adds to the incredible value of this GREAT affordable vegetarian lunch option. The lunch special is awesome, but even the to-go dinner pricing after work is terrific for this area.
- burger meal dealbest burger meal deal on Cap Hill for $11.99
- cheeseburger and fries dealThe atmosphere felt like an airport restaurant decorated by AI with a "Seattle sports" theme. However, they did have a decent deal on the cheeseburger and fries, which I wish I had opted for. On a positive note, the onion rings were good.
- great pricesThe staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, which made for a pleasant visit. I was impressed by the great prices and lunch specials. The food not only tasted delicious but also looked delicious.

Frequently criticized
- priceThe service was also average; the staff was friendly but not particularly attentive. Overall, I felt like I could have gotten a better burger and overall experience elsewhere for the price. 206 Burger Company is a decent option if you're in the area and looking for a quick bite, but don't expect anything extraordinary.
- overpricedI think a bit overpriced
- value for moneyThe predominant flavor was just that – extremely mediocre. For nearly three times the price of a Dick's burger, the quality was about half as good. I learned my lesson; next time, I'll just go to Dick's.
If youre looking for specific deals like the lunch special or burger meal, youll likely find great value here. However, be mindful that some regular menu items might feel a bit pricey for what you get. It's worth trying for those affordable options, but manage expectations for overall value.
How are the prices at 206 Burger?
You’re looking at roughly 19 per person – reported by 47 diners. That puts it in the $11–$20 category. For a Hamburger Restaurant, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
Most diners stick to the $11–$20 range, showing a clear preference for that mid-tier pricing. While a few go for cheaper bites, a fair number also choose options in the $21–$30 bracket, suggesting there are some slightly more premium choices available too.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 47 reviews.
See how this restaurant’s value stacks up against similar spots in Seattle.
We think the pricing feels quite fair for a Hamburger Restaurant, especially considering the variety that seems to be on offer. It hits that sweet spot for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

Disappointing Broadway Location Experience
I used to adore 206 Burger, especially their thick burger patties (cooked medium well) and soft baked tater tots at the Madison location. However, my experience at the Broadway location was disappointing. The burger patties were smoothed and overcooked, the bacon was way overcooked and too crispy, and the tater tots were also overcooked and too crispy.
I specifically requested that the tater tots not be overcooked and be golden and soft, but my request was ignored. The bacon was like potato chips, too overcooked and crunchy. The only redeeming factor was the Malted chocolate shake.
As a cook myself, I believe burgers should be thick and juicy, bacon should be juicy and flavorful, and food in general should not be overcooked.

Good food, but poor service and high price
I returned to this restaurant after years, having previously frequented the First Hill location. My experience this time was mixed. On the positive side, the food was good.
However, the price was very high. Ordering was done via an iPad, and I struggled to find an employee for assistance. I didn't see a single staff member until my food arrived, and the only sound I heard upon arrival was the dishwasher.
It seemed like there was only one employee handling everything, which felt crazy. I recall when I used to visit the 206 burger on Madison, there was always a person to take orders and interact with customers.
