Reception

Aimee Rizzo of The Infatuation said, "206 Burger Company is the best burger spot that nobody's talking about. Not only are the classics excellent here, but the milkshakes are perfect (get the Oreo), the fries strike the ideal balance between crispy and floppy, and the special sauce is kind of smoky." [5] In 2018, she included the business in the website's 2018 overview of the best restaurants in First Hill. [9] She and Kayla Sager-Riley also included 206 Burger in a 2025 list of Seattle's thirteen best breakfast sandwiches. [10]
