His royal burger majesty, King Charley's, is located directly off of Highway 9 outside of the town of Snohomish. It's pretty hard to miss if you put the address in your GPS. There is no onsite bathroom that I could locate, and no indoor dining. One side takes your order and you swing around to the other side to pick up your food. Large glass windows along both sides give you a good view of how this burger joint operates if you want to be a burger creep and take a peek while you wait.

While the castle has no indoor dining, you can't help but be impressed with the royal hunting grounds. There are numerous purple picnic tables scattered about the tourney field, should you wish to squire about with your bounty. 

By royal decree the menu at King Charley's is pretty straight forward. A variety of standard burgers, fried food, shakes, etc. The menu is posted on both sides and easy to read. Not wanting to sound like a complete peasant, I ordered the King Charley's Special.

Let's get down to it. The King Charley's Special is a double meat, double cheese, all the standard fixings burger. The meat was cooked on a flat top, standard bun (no seeds, lightly toasted), shredded iceberg lettuce, center slice of tomato, slivered white onions, about 4 ridged pickle chips, melted American cheese and a thousand island style burger sauce. Lets draw and quarter this bad boy and take a deeper look before we masticate. 

Here's a look at the King Charley's special from our Burger Eye View. The ingredients are very straight forward and cover the burger well, ensuring you will get a little of everything in most bites.

For the people's viewing pleasure, here's what you can expect when you publicly execute this burger. They drain off a lot of the grease when they put it all together, so it won't drip all over you or your lap. But it still is messy, so have your napkins near at hand.

With such a royal name, you might expect a majestic outcome. But not all fairy tales end on a happy note. The King Charley's Special gathered a total of 8 points from this burger jester. It was good, it will fill you up, and it beats most fast food burgers head to head. But it is rather generic with mostly basic components. On the plus side, King Charley's is located in a great spot, and if you find yourself traveling along Highway 9 you should swing on by and check it out for yourself.
