BIZNOTE: Burger Planet enters White Center orbit this Saturday

| West Seattle news | West Seattle restaurants | White Center

Thanks for the tip! Saturday is set as opening day for Burger Planet, going from food truck to bricks-and-mortar at 9614 14th SW in White Center, former home of Zippy’s Giant Burgers. After hearing about a note on the door announcing the date, we stopped by this evening and found owner Marco and chef Marco, who invited us in for a look:

The decor is “Star Wars”-themed, in keeping with the “planet” name. There are games, as there were in Zippy’s.

They’re planning to open 4-11 pm and promise “new menu items” in addition to what their truck has offered (you might remember it from a stint at the 30th/Roxbury gas station in 2017), along with local beer on tap.

Excellent. Now let’s get a Macrina Bakery for the Bartell’s space.

I miss the old zippys. Glad to see Burger Planet fill the spot. I will definitely take my kids there. May the force be with you Burger Planet.

Place looks great! Pls add impossible burger to the menu.

Bantha Burger September 28, 2023 (9:58 am)

Not sure if it will be impossible, but I did reach out to see if they were adding a veggie burger option to the menu, and they are.

  Great news!

I love burgers September 28, 2023 (8:57 am)

Zippys was AMAZING but THANK GOD that building got some much needed love at attention.

Good grief September 28, 2023 (10:59 am)

Looking at the prices I’ll be staying with dicks!

Steve September 29, 2023 (5:47 am)

IF that is real Wagyu beef, then those prices are actually amazing. And I mean nearly impossible (price) to find anywhere else. As in… they are not making a profit.

Zippy paid homage to Lou’s by recreating the King Lou. Maybe Planet could do similar. Might I suggest, Out of This World Cherry Coke with real cherry syrup just like Lou’s used to do.
