Burgundian

When my friends and family come visit Seattle, the Burgundian is on the must-​visit list. It’s one of my all time favorite places in the city, especially for brunch.
The beer and whiskey list is impressive, and I’ve had some solid cocktails here. But what keeps me coming back is the benedict. Quite simply, Burgundian makes the best benedict I’ve ever had. Ever. Two eggs any style, pick your protein (ham, bacon, friend chicken…), served on a biscuit with a cream cheese hollandaise and potatoes on the side. Heaven.
I’ve tried a fair amount of the menu and never been disappointed. This is my go-​to for lazy brunch (available until 4pm all week long!), or a late night drink and bite to eat. Service is great, the vibe is perfectly relaxed and comfortable, and the food is incredible.

The Burgundian has a special place in my heart. For 6 months, I lived only 3 blocks away. I recently moved — this restaurant will be the #1 thing I miss most about Wallyhood.
Awesome beer selection. Obviously, as this joint is owned by the wonderful people who brought us Bottleworks. Speaking of wonderful people… I love the bartenders and waitstaff at The Burgundian. They are so friendly, and know their s%*& when it comes to booze n’ food.
Just OK wine selection — but I did try my first Malbec here, and it was fantastic.
Ugh, the food. THE FOOD. I have to say, the beer cheese-​drowned croque madame (with ham & tomato) is unreal. I’ve had it three times. Do not judge me. They even make a bacon-​infused waffle. I love the beet salad, I love the little lamb burger, I love the pretzel. I love everything.

Wouldn’t order the mimosa again, $ 10 and barely more than three shots or so. Good amount of beers on tap and bottle of Prosecco was decently priced.
Ordered the classic breakfast and added avocado, they were ‘out’ of the omelette with avocado which was my first choice.
Pretty expensive, but overall food quality was good! Homies ordered the chicken & waffles and loved them. Would come here again, but only just after payday.

I was craving chicken & waffles one morning, and after a quick google/​yelp research, burgundian came up as the place to go to for this dish. this review is only based on chicken & waffles, since i didn’t try anything else!
came here on a saturday morning and was quickly seated right away. unfortunately, it was right next to an extremely loud group of people — slight damper — but fortunately, we could see that their plates were emptying meaning they were leaving pretty soon.
service was good — no qualms about this!
so on to my chicken & waffles review. man i hope this isn’t the best chicken & waffles that seattle has to offer, because it was disappointing. the waffle, for some reason, had this strange sour kick to it and it really didn’t add any value to the waffle besides leaving a weird tart aftertaste. i’ve heard of people using sour cream to make their waffles fluffier, but my waffles weren’t particularly fluffy either. i would’ve preferred a traditional, thick Belgian waffle — crisp outer with fluffy innards. mine wasn’t dense per se, but it wasn’t fluffy either. i kid you not, but i think i’ve had better belgian waffles at those make-​it-​yourself waffle stations at continental breakfasts in 3 star hotels. if im paying $ 16 for chicken and waffles, i want a good waffle. onto the chicken — pros and cons about this. pros: the chicken itself was good — juicy, tender and not too greasy. flavor was good too — not too salty. con: the batter left much to be desired. it was crumbly and, for lack of a better description, a sad, skimpy coating. where’s that thick, crunchy, hearty batter that should be lovingly coated on my juicy chicken?! i won’t fault the restaurant for trying to add its own twist on this dish, but i didn’t care much for the bourbon maple syrup. good ol’ fashioned vermont maple syrup would’ve been my traditionalist preference. i pretty much only used the apple butter as my topping and would’ve probably enjoyed this more if my waffle weren’t tart! tart butter on my tart waffle = too much of one thing, and not enough balance in flavoring. finally, the gravy was decent (though a little lukewarm), but nothing mind-​blowing. nice to have as a dipping sauce for the chicken.
portion wise — this is definitely on the smaller side. i got maybe 3 – 4 small-​ish pieces of the fried chicken.
overall, if you can’t nail the stars of the dish — chicken and waffle — the added condiments aren’t really going to add much to the dish.
my search continues!

One of my favorite comfort food places to go to. Almost can’t go wrong with anything you order, but their fries are amazing, great beer selection and cocktails. Chicken and waffles is seriously mouth watering. Really sweet brunch spot. Service has been hit or miss, once had probably top 5 waiters ever and then also one of the worst. Doesn’t matter when the food is this good though!

One of my favorite brunch spots in Seattle! You can’t go wrong with the chicken & waffles here or the biscuits & gravy with fried chicken.
The chicken & waffles comes with their amazing Bourbon maple syrup, sausage gravy, and apple sauce.

Found this place by way of Unilocal.Hubs and I were heading home after spending the night in Seattle, and we were hungry for brunch.
On the recommendation of my fellow Unilocalers, we decided to try this spot. Oh. My. Goodness.
First off, this is a 21 & up establishment, a bonus for us as we rarely get to go out to eat in non «family-​friendly» places these days.
Atmosphere was low key, comfortable, but nice. Staff friendly and recommended some tasty vittles.
The food was just plain good. Hubs had the chicken and waffles, AMAZIIIING. I’m not a big fried chicken fan, but good golly miss molly, this chicken could change my view.
I had the cornbeef hash and it was equally delicious. The chef has got a great touch with the seasoning and the whole menu looks intersting and fresh.
I’m looking forward to coming back here again, I can’t wait to try some other dishes.

This place is good. And you should go here.
I’ve been twice — once for dinner, once for Sunday brunch. The croque madame is heavenly (through the $ 2 for added heirloom tomatoes wasn’t worth it, in my opinion). For brunch I ordered eggs benedict (and stole some of the biscuits and gravy across from me). I definitely recommend ordering fried chicken as your ‘protein’ option. I don’t understand how it’s so moist inside but perfectly crispy (though just a tad too salty) on the outside. Chicken and waffles is next on my list.
I wish I was able to order dessert here — they look amazing, but I’m always way too full. Sigh.

If you’re here wondering what to get on the menu— you GoTTa get the chicken and waffles!!!
Reviews here says it all– bourbon maple syrup and the gravy is divine with sausage !
Other favorite pick are the bacon and Brussels sprouts.
The atmosphere is dim casual but cool and cozy

I so wanted to love the Burgundian. It is close to home, has lovely ambiance, and our service last night was impeccable. All the good aside, I have never had to salt a plate of food I paid so much for in my entire life. Well, other than yesterday.
It started out so well. I had gotten a gift certificate here for my birthday a few months ago, so on a rare kid-​free night we set off (the Burgundian is 21+ at all times, even during brunch). We chose the bacon and brussels and soft pretzel for apps, ordered a cider and a beer.
Our server was charming and attentive and the drinks and apps came out pretty quickly. My cider was awful– a Riebela, which was described as being from Spain and «weird.» I should have used that as a red flag and gone with something else– but it came and was flat and tasted of dill? Olive juice? Just completely repugnant. Luckily my boyfriend has an iron stomach, so we happily finished it and I ordered an Eden. Perfection.
The food was also okay, still. The Brussels sprouts and bacon were amazing– small bits of thick cut bacon that I almost believed was pork belly, the ratio of veggie to meat was perfect, they were cooked to perfection. It is also a big serving for $ 8. The $ 6 pretzel comes with beer cheese and is okay. I didn’t try the mustard because I don’t like it, but the cheese was very bland. The pretzel is soft and really good, but alone is pretty boring. It would have been better crusted with kosher salt, since the table salt they used was so sparse I could barely taste it in dense pieces of dough.
SO didn’t see anything on the big plates menu, so he got the sauteed greens and wings. I went with the sole. Would have really loved to know the sole was breaded. It came on a bed of brussels sprouts and fingerling potatoes, some micro greens scattered on top and a beautiful presentation of lemon slices. Thank goodness for that lemon, since there was hardly a trace of the brown butter it lists as the first thing after fish on the menu (brown butter, brussels sprouts, roasted fingerlings, lemon). The major upside to this dish is the amount of fish– I got two large, thin fillets. The potatoes were good, the brussels seemed undercooked and flavorless. I had to salt the entire plate and squeeze lemon all over it. Really underwhelming for a $ 20 dish.
The wings and greens were good. They were a small order– 4 – 5 wings with a Chinese fast food type flavor/​glaze and copious amounts of chili flakes. The greens are also really chili heavy, so keep that in mind when ordering. Luckily we enjoy spice. I felt like the small plates were not worth their price tags.
Overall I would definitely come back. The service is so friendly and frequent and there are strong points on the menu, I’d like to try more and see whether they outweigh the blah. The brunch menu looks great, and they serve items from it all day long! The outdoor seating is also really cute.

Been here now for power hour and bunch and can heartily recommend it on all fronts. Gastropubs took a strong hold in Portland, but somehow never seemed to spread as well in Seattle, so it’s great to find a gem like this in my city and not far from home. Parking is a pain since it’s in Tangletown, but is worth a little stroll to enjoy this place.
I loved the spicy chicken wings and could have made a meal of them. The tuna tartine was a little underflavored by comparison but would have been a good small bite on another day. Their bar is *well* stocked and the list is staggering. Wine lovers may be disappointed as this is the only weak spot on the drink list, but somehow you’ll work it out with the dizzying other options at your fingertips.
Brunch delivered the best eggs bennie we have had in Seattle in a donkey’s age. That ALONE would bring us back with thin sliced, flavorful ham, a perfectly fresh and bright hollandaise, poached to perfection eggs, all on top of a little croissant-​like bread that is hard to describe.
The place is very busy, but never felt noisy. We could talk at normal voice levels no matter how packed and bustling the place was, which is a welcome trait of this cozy place. The décor itself is standard gastropub with wood booths, dark/​black painted ceilings and chairs, which is fine with me. Pretty light fixtures, though, and the carved wood bar is stunning.
Will be back again and again, I am certain!

Omg holy shite better than all the chicken and waffles in Williamsburg.
Def the lightest fluffiest waffle that exists in all the lands. And packs a crispy crunch.
And love Mauri. She made it all the sweeter.

This is a great restaurant in the Tanglewood neighborhood. We came for happy hour, which has a great menu with better beers. The beer list is very, very good with a long list of crafts. There will be a beer you haven’t tried before, as well as ones you love. I ended up trying different IPAs from California and Colorado, and my boyfriend had some different European Belgians.
For food we ordered the happy hour chicken and waffle and mussels and baguette. The chicken and waffle was really good, so I recommend ordering the dinner portion instead of the happy hour as you will want to keep eating it, especially with the country gravy or apple-​vanilla jam that it comes with. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, but was just a tad heavy on the breading for my liking. The waffle was light and fluffy. The mussels were also good, but not as much as the chicken and waffle. It came in a heavier white broth sauce with chunks of ham and a side of baguette slices.
There is plenty of street parking nearby, and our server was very friendly and had great recommendations for beer. I’ll be back to try more menu items, and especially for the beers.

Bruh. Seriously. I mean, fried chicken & waffles is nowadays a thing (as opposed to having to either search out Roscoe’s or the like) and can even be found at IHOP of all places. So having a take on fried chicken & waffles that stands out over everyone else’s is obviously the thing to do.
Burgundian’s take on chicken & waffles definitely stands out in that crowded field. Moist, tender chicken pieces and that maple bacon syrup — good times. The gravy it comes with too — wow. The wife did their fried chicken Benedict — good times there as well. Definitely worth a brunch stop if you’re in the neighborhood.
Wait times weren’t horrible, although we came by on a Friday so naturally things should be a little easier than the weekend. Service was fantastic and quick as well.

There really is only one thing to get here: chicken & waffles. It’s the first item on the «large plates» menu and you can stop reading there.
We got the chicken & waffles w/​o eggs or bacon (16 $) and the steamed mussels (18 $). Boy, the 2 sauces and gravy that came with the waffles were spectacular! The apple butter was so delectable and NOT overly sweet, while the bourbon syrup melted in your mouth ever so slowly. Gravy was nice as well, but paled in comparison to the other two amazing things. The portion size is a little small and expensive though for just ONE waffle and 4 pieces of fried chicken. Our chicken also came a little overdone. Mussels were decent, but some of them weren’t cooked fully and gave that overwhelming seafoody smell. The broth was hearty since it was the typical butter and cream. Kind of made me wish there was something else interesting about the broth since the waffles were so impressive.
Service was very attentive, especially our water cups being filled after I’d barely even got it down an inch. There seems to be a guy who just walks around with a pitcher filling water… seems like a chill job? Anywho, would definitely return again for those waffles! Doesn’t get any more perfect than these.

There’s only one reason we went to The Burgundian – to try their chicken and waffles! We’re so glad we went on Thursday night when this signature dish is $ 5 off. That makes it $ 11 instead of $ 16.
The verdict? Decent to good. Portion size of the chicken was smallish and a bit overcooked. Waffle was good and crispy. Syrup was actually TOO boozy. I could hardly use it. Funny thing is the sausage gravy may have been the best part of the whole dish. All in all, it hit the spot but did not wow me in any way.
So if you’re hankering for chicken and waffles and can’t get down to Rainier, go here on a Thursday night. I definitely would not pay $ 16 for this dish, but at $ 11, it’s not bad for eating close to Green Lake.

Pretzel w/​beer cheese was my FAVORITE especially since I was having withdrawals from my recent Munich trip! I would come here just for that alone. Other than that the fried chicken and waffles were very good as well! It’s currently tied with Restaurant Roux in my book ;) great portion of chicken and the waffle was very fluffy my favorite waffle so far. the lil lamb burger was also delicious. No complaints with that one. The polenta fries were ok. New concept so I had to try it but I think I still prefer good ol’ pomme frites! The only thing I didn’t like was the apple crisp dessert. My friend and I didn’t finish it. Me not finishing a dessert says A LOT. Other than that I like this place and I will be coming back! Great ambiance as well.

The hype around their fried chicken and waffles is partly valid in my books. While I can live without their fried chicken most days (I’ve had better elsewhere), the bacon in the waffle is simply brilliant. I will never ever complain about that.
Papas con Chorizo is alright, I guess. I don’t remember much about it.
Bloody Mary is far too basic for my liking. I like mine nicely spruced up and with a good kick, and theirs is just really plain. I still drank all of it, psh.
Service — good. No issues.
I’m just now realizing how truly unenthused I am about this restaurant all in all, even though I don’t have any passionately negative feelings about it. It was really just okay.
Eh, I’ll try it again, why not.

It was my first time having Burgundian yesterday. I decided to take my brother and sister here for a late lunch since we all woke up pretty late. I have been hearing a lot of good things about their chicken and waffle so I had to come here and see for myself.
We walked in and was seated immediately. We all ordered the chicken and waffle to see how good it was. I got a side of eggs and my brother got a side of bacon. The portion came out really big. The chicken and waffle was really good! I love the sausage gravy that came with the dish as well. I didn’t finish my plate but my siblings did and they thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Service was really quick but it was also pretty empty beside the patrons at the bar. My first impression of Burgundian was really good so I’ll definitely be coming back to try out other dishes.

You should definitely give this place a shot. There are some menu staples that are always a good call.
The chicken and waffles is a totally comfort food, and the poutine is the same way. The melted cheese curds on the poutine make all the difference.
They have a regularly rotating craft beer menu and can make any drink you please. Sometimes the house made bar ingredients aren’t really the best though. Stick with the beer and cider menu, and try your drink of choice to see if the craft ingredients are fitting in and if not, stick with a beer or single ingredient drink.
Take a group of friends for dinner and you’ll have a good time for sure.
