Scooter's, Seattle

With the almighty Zesto's throwing in the towel and slated for demolition sometime in 2001, Scooter's and Gordo's are left to battle it out for control of Ballard's burger business.

Not much more than a well-maintained shack, Scooter's isn't much of a destination, but their hefty burgers pack a punch of true burger quality. With all the expected combinations, and a couple of unique offerings, Scooter's puts to shame the chain restaurants' and, some would argue, Dick's comparatively bite-size burgers.

A respectable offering of fish and chips is also on the menu (it is Ballard), along with a variety of healthy-sized sandwiches and, of course, thick, fattening shakes.

There are five or six chairs inside, but the view of 24th and the QFC parking lot isn't much to keep you entertained, so this is really a pit-stop on the way home, to the Locks or to Golden Gardens just around the corner.
