When attempting to find The Best Burger in The Skagit Valley, you sometimes get to go to amazing places. Sometimes, you get to go to places that for whatever reason, turn your stomach. It really is a crap shoot.
When Kurt and I decided to go to Dad's, we both knew we were in for a treat. We had been there before and I had eaten their burger. I could still remember how I loved it. As we entered the diner, my mouth watered with anticipation, and my fingers itched to grab on to that burger and show it who's Daddy I was.
We sat down at the counter, our favorite place to sit at any establishment, and ordered. I got the Plain Jane Burger, and Kurt ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich. As we waited, I cast my eyes about the joint. The wall facing the counter was covered with pictures of Dads, including Darth Vader, (translated as dark father in German), a tip of the hat to the Star Wars franchise that I personally saw as a good omen.
Our food arrived and it looked quite delicious. My burger was flanked by some potato wedges that were obviously fried to perfection, and the burger itself sat open-faced, cheese meliting down around the sides of the burger, Kurt informed me that Dad's prepares all of its own meats, so when we asked where their beef was sourced, the response, "Kansas City" kinda baffled us both. After doing a little "research" via Google, I discovered that a place called Kansas city Steak Company is reknowned for its beef, and I can only assume that this is where Dad's procures it.
The vegetables left a little to be desired, as the burger only came with lettuce and pickles. But the bun was toasted to perfection and the burger itself was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The scores were as follows:

Yes, this burger fared well, mostly because of the flavor and the juiciness. There is nothing like well-seasoned ground beef and Dad's knows what they are doing on that score. Kurt added that he believed it to be a well-crafted burger, and that the general ambiance and service definitely added to the overall experience.
Dad's burger was pretty good overall. We would both definitely return.
