My go-to place for burgers in the Seattle area! Double tavern burger and Irish nachos are my favorite items on the menu, the fish and chips are good too. They have a wide selection of beers on tap. Outdoor seating area is a great place to hangout when the weather is nice outside although it may be a bit cramped inside since there's not that much indoor seating. Staff are very strict about ID'ing customers since they need to be at least 21 and up so make sure to bring your physical ID or you get kicked out. Big TVs for sports would be a great addition to this dive bar but that would ruin the ambiance of the place.

Seems like a place favored by locals -- not us, we were just looking for a good hamburger after visiting the Museum of Flight. That said, if it were closer to where we were staying or we had more time we would be back. It deserves its reputation for quality burgers, and the fries are not to be missed. Friendly vibe.

If you want to know what Seattle was like before Amazon, this is the bar for you. No frills, cheap drinks, nice patio area, and one of the best burgers you will ever have for under $5. You deserve to go here at least once.

Worst interaction I've ever had with a server. Charlene told us to sit outside with our SERVICE animals. She was extremely rude from start to finish.

We heard about this place from our family, who live in South Park. I wasn't sure it was going to be as good as they said. But I was wrong! Excellent classic fresh burgers. Big enough to share. The fries were perfect. A simple fun place with good, inexpensive food. What more does one need or want?

Great atmosphere, and an exceptional old school cheese burger. I didn't know that anyone in Seattle made a burger this good.

Came here for a recent trip to Seattle after seeing it listed at #4 of Thrillists best burgers in America. The place is definition of no frills hole in the wall and took about 20 mins to get to from downtown Seattle.
Upon arrival, the workers didn’t seem too excited for tourists and were little less than attentive considering only one other table seated. Now on to the burger, it definitely was great, however, I can’t imagine listing it as one of best in the country. Whoever created list must’ve picked a random obscure point on map and set out to identify the best burger in the selected area.

Loretta's Tavern Burger is frequently chosen as the best in Seattle. I don't know if it's the best burger in Seattle, but it is certainly the best burger at a dive bar in Seattle. In addition they have a terrific Pork Tenderloin sandwich, one that will make you think you're in Iowa where these sandwiches are King. The chili and chili fries at Loretta's are outstanding. On weekends they serve a great dive bar breakfast, including excellent corned beef hash, and SOS.

My wife and I stopped by Loretta's on a Saturday afternoon. We had heard about this place but had never been. Glad we went. The place is, as expected, a bit of a dive bar. Has both inside and outside seating, but was a bit cold to sit outside. We ordered cheese burgers and fries. The food came very quickly and both the burgers and fries were good. The folks working there were very friendly. Has a good selection of beers, both local traditional favorites (e.g., Rainier tall cans for $3) as well as a other beers for the beer connoisseur. Will go again when we are in area.
