Shoreline, WA · Since the neighborhood loved it
Ugly on the outside. Perfect on the inside.
Quarter-pound patties, smashed to order. Buns toasted in butter. Fries cut fresh. A small family-run counter on Ballinger Way that takes burgers seriously and itself, not so much.

Why we call it ugly
A little spot.
A serious burger.
You'll miss us if you blink. We're tucked between a massage spa and a smoke shop on Ballinger Way. Four tables inside. Two people behind the counter. Most days, that's the cook and the cashier — and on a good day, that's family.
We don't dress our burgers up. The patty's smashed when you order it. The buns get butter and a flat-top. The Ugly Sauce gets a little kick. That's it. No filters, no garnish, no nonsense.
Ugly on the outside. Perfect on the inside.
