Burnett's Pub

Burnett's Pub in Renton has carved out a solid spot for anyone on the hunt for well-executed wings and casual pub vibes. This isn’t the place to rush your meal—most locals will tell you that some of the best wings, especially the Fish Sauce Chicken Wings, take about 30 to 45 minutes to come out fresh and crispy, even if you get there right at opening. The wait tends to be longer on busier nights, which speaks to how popular this spot is, especially with wing enthusiasts.

The menu clearly leans into a wing-forward experience, offering a broad range of flavors from sweet chili and garlic pepper to salt and pepper, Cajun, and strong umami notes like the fish sauce variety. Beyond wings, there’s plenty of classic pub fare to round out the meal: everything from fried clam appetizers and quail to burgers and well-seasoned fries. The fried chicken wings and tenders stand out as something particularly satisfying and reliably crisp, often drawing people who come more for the food than the drinks.

Inside, the atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming. There's a steady crowd most evenings, with music that fits the laid-back yet upbeat mood of a local neighborhood pub. For those who appreciate a strong drink, the cocktails here get noticed for their potency, though some find the prices on the higher side. Still, the drinks seem to complement the hospitality and straightforward dining style.

If you’re visiting Burnett's Pub, early evenings—around or shortly after the 4 pm opening—are a practical window to avoid the peak weekend rush. This spot feels like a place where local regulars come for a satisfying chicken wing fix after work or to unwind with friends without a fuss. Whether you’re here with a group craving varied chicken wings or flying solo aiming to dig into some solid pub staples, Burnett’s manages to deliver a consistently fresh, flavorful experience grounded in simple, well-loved comfort food.
