Seattle is known for great food, but when it comes to burgers, Camp West in West Seattle consistently stands out. By focusing on exceptional ingredients, local sourcing, and precise execution, we’ve earned a reputation for serving what many guests consider the best burger and smash burger in West Seattle, and one of the best in all of Seattle.
Local Bread from Grand Central Bakery
Every great burger starts with the bun. At Camp West, we proudly use locally baked bread from Grand Central Bakery, a Seattle institution known for its craftsmanship and quality. The bun is soft yet sturdy, lightly toasted to support the burger without overpowering it.
Organic Certified Angus Beef, Hand-Molded In-House
Our burgers begin with organic, Certified Angus Beef, a standard recognized nationwide for superior flavor and consistency. You can learn more about what defines this quality at the official Certified Angus Beef® brand.
Each patty is hand-molded in-house, never frozen, then grilled to perfection. Our smash burger is pressed directly onto the grill, creating crispy edges and deep, savory flavor that burger lovers across Seattle seek out.
Fresh, Local Vegetables
We top every burger with fresh, locally sourced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce, adding crunch, balance, and brightness. These simple, high-quality ingredients elevate the burger without distracting from the beef.
Pickles for Balance
Our pickles bring the acidity and crunch that a great burger needs, cutting through the richness of the meat and cheese and tying the entire bite together.
House-Made Savory Sauce
Our house-made savory sauce is what many guests remember most. Made in-house, it’s rich, balanced, and intentionally crafted to complement, not overpower, the burger.
Classic Deli American Cheese
We finish each burger with high-quality deli American cheese, melted perfectly over the patty. Creamy, nostalgic, and unmistakably classic, it’s the ideal match for both our burger and smash burger.
