The Slip is a charming hamburger restaurant located at 80 Kirkland Ave, right by the waterfront in Kirkland, WA. This cozy spot is ideal for an after-work hangout, offering a delightful burger experience along with a well-curated selection of drinks. Many patrons rave about the inviting atmosphere, complemented by friendly service that makes you feel right at home.
One standout feature is the outdoor seating, which offers stunning views of the Seattle and Bellevue skylines. Customers, like Connie Berg, appreciate the delicious sweet potato fries, while others highlight the unique and tasty pickle margarita, showcasing the creativity in The Slip’s menu. The cozy yet slightly cramped setting adds to the charm, making each visit feel intimate.
Though the place can fill up quickly, especially on weekends, it maintains a lively vibe that encourages social gatherings, as experienced by Jeff Jared and Sudipta Dutta during their visits. The Slip’s commitment to great food, excellent service, and a picturesque location ensures it's a must-visit for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience.

Cozy little place for a quick burger and drink for after work hangout place. I liked my burger. The place is small so might fill up fast. We went on Friday around 6pm and it was empty but started filling up later. We will be back for sure maybe during the day as it's located on the waterfront and the view can be nice. They have a great location and outdoor space that they certainly should use(closed for winter)

Very nice place to visit. Service was amazing and the food was really great. Their patio needs a 10 star rating. Truly amazing place.

Had a very fun reunion with a group of friends who I used to work with, at Jay Jacob’s. We sat out on the deck! The food and service and view were all spectacular! I am a sweet potato fries snob, and they were off the chart! SO yummy! I also was intrigued by the pickle margarita, which was actually quite delicious!

Fun & great atmosphere with friendly staff. Located in the heart of downtown Kirkland near the Kirkland City Dock. Wonderful outdoor seating and from some patio tables you can see both the Seattle AND Bellevue skylines! Dogs welcome.

Great service and food. Slightly cramped but has a cozy feel. If you end up going you need to have the fries, they are incredible and I've never had any other fries nearly as good.

I had an eye opening experience eating the fries here. It was truly a must-go experience and I will 100% be coming back. Nice, cozy environment with extremely nice employees.

Staff incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive. Beautiful laid back atmosphere, with views of lake Washington from the deck. Food came quickly, was piping hot, and delicious. We enjoyed a burgerdilla and a slip burger with fries. Fries were particularly delicious. Would highly recommend for a delicious meal at reasonable prices.

I truly appreciate you listening to my experience with Grubhub. I absolutely know it’s not you. I love your food. I live in Kirkland and you’re one of my favorite places to go and grab a burger and you will continue to be. I just won’t use Grubhub again thank you for reaching out and talk to me. That meant a lot
