5 Must-Try Burgers in Everett: A Local Burger Crawl Roundup
By Live in Everett Staff | June 2025
Everett isn’t just about Boeing, breweries, and that beautiful waterfront—we’ve also got some seriously good burgers. Whether you’re all about old-school charm, wild flavor combos, or greasy late-night sliders, there’s something in town for every burger lover.
Grab your napkins (and maybe some friends), and let’s dig into Everett’s top five burger spots!
1. Nick’s Jr Burgers & Gyros
5821 Evergreen Way
Mon–Sat 10:30 AM–8:30 PM | Sun 11:00 AM–8:30 PM
If Everett had a burger royalty, Nick’s would be king. This no-frills spot delivers one of the most buzzed-about burgers in town: the peanut-butter bacon burger. Sounds odd, tastes amazing. It’s salty, savory, and so satisfying. Big portions, fast service, and a cult following.
2. Mikie’s
4532 Evergreen Way
Mon–Sat 10:30 AM–9:00 PM | Sun 10:30 AM–8:30 PM
Just up the street from Nick’s, Mikie’s feels like a blast from the past—complete with vinyl booths and checkerboard floors. The burgers here are messy, drippy, and nostalgic in the best way. Go big with the Grampa Triple, and definitely snag a shake or float on the side.
3. Ray’s Drive-In
1401 Broadway
Tue–Sat 11:00 AM–8:00 PM | Closed Sun & Mon
A local legend since 1962, Ray’s is the definition of a classic drive-in. Pull up, order at the window, and bite into a burger that feels straight out of your grandparents’ heyday. Add crinkle-cut fries and a root beer float, and you’ve officially time-traveled.
4. Billie On Gourmet Burgers & Fish Chips
7405 Hardeson Rd, Suite C
Mon–Thu 10:00 AM–8:00 PM | Sat 10:00 AM–5:00 PM | Closed Fri & Sun
Looking for something outside the usual lettuce-and-tomato formula? Billie On brings the creativity with Korean bulgogi, pineapple Hawaiian, and over 20 burger combinations to choose from. Bonus points for crispy fries and fast service. It’s a bit of a hidden gem, but totally worth the detour.
5. Soundview Bar & Grill (21+)
1116 Hewitt Ave
Daily 11:00 AM–2:00 AM
Everett’s late-night MVP. Soundview is a dive bar in all the right ways—dim lights, cold beer, pool tables, and locals favorite bacon cheeseburger! Come for the burgers, stay for the vibes. It’s grungy, it’s real, and it’s pure Everett.
Burger Crawl Itinerary:
Want to try them all in one day? Here’s a suggested crawl route:
1. Start at Nick’s Jr for a peanut-buttery punch
2. Walk or drive to Mikie’s for retro diner charm
3. Head north to Ray’s Drive-In for nostalgia on a tray
4. Drive to Billie On Gourmet for bold, global flavors
5. End the night at Soundview—because sliders at midnight just make sense
