Wedgwood Broiler
Complete with carpeted floors, big fabric booths, and memento-lined brick walls, Wedgwood Broiler is the epitome of an old-school steakhouse. The place has been open since the 60s, and many of the waitresses seem to have been there just as long, but their sassy ways are all in good fun and make the end result -- unfussy egg and hash breakfasts and Swiss cheese-topped burgers -- well worth the wait.

The 14 Best Burger Joints in Seattle
Seemingly nothing ever changes at this North Seattle gem: not the unironic throwback carpet, not the sassy servers, not the menu full of relics like liver and onions, and definitely not the retro salad that comes with Cheez-it crackers and sliced, chopped salami. Okay, except that the pandemic finally inspired them to create a usable website. But the signature steaks stuck around, and that means so, too, did the burgers they grind in-house from the scraps, giving them the kind of big meaty flavor that seems to have otherwise gone out of fashion with leisure suits and pet rocks.
