Lil Woody’s named best Washington burger in 2024
Lil Woody’s was named the best burger in Washington by Reader’s Digest last year.
“Lil Woody’s works with local vendors to source the ingredients used at its Seattle locations, so you’ll get hand-cut fries made from Washington potatoes, handcrafted buns made in Tacoma, and beef from neighboring Oregon,” Reader’s Digest wrote. “The namesake burger is simple and delicious.”
The restaurant first opened in Capitol Hill in 2012, according to The Tacoma News Tribune.
Tacoma’s Lil Woody’s location will be in the former Harvester diner building, The Puget Sound Business Journal reported.
