Big things are happening at Ounces in North Delridge (3809 Delridge Way SW), to celebrate the fall season and to keep customers well-fed and in good spirits.

We stopped by for a Friday visit and were first greeted by Jeremy Vrablik (photo above, with gourd-topped beverage and all), who welcomed us to the new onsite pumpkin patch that Ounces is operating this year in partnership with him and co-proprietor Jill Moore of Cascadia Produce and Cascadia Fresh Market at 5444 Delridge Way SW (see our Cascadia update from last month).

Vrablik said this is the first year for the patch, which aims to provide a fun local option for Ounces customers and families to get a seasonal experience that’s close-to-home:

The patch will be open when Ounces is open, through next Saturday (October 26) (closed on Monday), and visitors can pick out their favorite pumpkins for sale and also take photos in the “hay bale photo booth:”

Kids and dogs are welcome, and admission is free. All pumpkins onsite are for sale, and Vrablik said that pumpkin prices are likely to be decreasing this weekend. Vrablik added that there are plans to expand the patch next year, and to perhaps look at other seasonal-themed partnership ideas.

As you’ll notice in the top-left of the photo above, behind the pumpkin patch there is another new addition to the Ounces area: smash-burger vendor Burbs Burgers, which as we reported last month has relaunched and expanded into West Seattle, and it’s now open for business in the portion of the property where food trucks had previously set up:

West Seattleite Bersain Gutierrez is the new owner of Burbs, and told us that business has been solid since they opened as part of Ounces’ Oktoberfest event earlier this month, and said that they plan to be open on same days/times that Ounces is open (6 days per week).

Gutierrez said their most popular signature items are the “Special B” smash burger on a pretzel bun, and the “Burbs Dog” loaded hot dog:

As for Ounces itself, the taproom and patio remain the centerpiece of the area:

And employees like Travis are ready to pour a great beverage on-tap:

Ounces also has a special event coming up next Saturday Oct 26: Beer Garden Trick-or-Treating for the kids from 2-5pm. That will also be the last day of operation for the pumpkin patch. Vrablik added that the patch’s hay bales will be up for grabs starting on Sunday Oct. 27, for anyone who would like them for their garden etc.

Business hours for Ounces are:

Mon: Closed
Tues: 4-9pm
Wed: 4-9pm
Thu: 4-9pm
Fri: 3-10pm
Sat: 2-9pm
Sun: 12-7pm

Great article on two wonderful businesses. Thank you for the reporting!

Happy for the partnership between all of these small businesses, but I’m disappointed that the rotating food trucks were replaced with a permanent establishment with no vegetarian options aside from fries. It would be great to see veggie patty and salad options added to the menu!

I was hurting on the veg thing, too. They do have a veggie patty that is pretty tasty, but also they need to work on keeping enough around. They were out for 3 days in a row.

Sorry, comment time is over.
