Looking for the best burger in Tacoma? While the focus of this site is on helping people find the right neighborhood for them in Tacoma, we love to be a resource for more. Recently a client who moved to Tacoma from Arkansas asked me where to get the best burger in Tacoma- and I was stumped! I’m a vegetarian, so I went to Instagram and polled 3,000 Tacomans for their expertise. We got tons of responses, and these are their favorite burgers in Tacoma:
Burger Seoul
A favorite of carnivores across Tacoma, no fewer than 3 vegetarians said that Burger Seoul was the thing they missed most after going veggie.
