I entered from the South and actually began going into the wrong way on the drive through lane. Frugals is a drive through only building and has two drive through lanes, each facing South. This speeds up service but is confusing for newbies like me as the "Do Not Enter" sign was only on one side. Maybe they should have one lane going each direction for convenience? The stand alone building is made of shiny aluminum and has that mid 20th century airplane look to it. It is actually pretty and stands out for the area it is in. Reading on their website, they have several other locations in Washington and even in Montana! I ordered the Cheeseburger combo (#3, on the menu, I think) which has fries and a drink. I was tempted by the great looking milkshake flavors offered but stuck with a Coke Zero instead. The bill was $10.40 including tax but before a tip. That really is nice and it fits the restaurant name - Frugal's! The short line moved quickly and my food was ready when I reached the window. The fries were hot and served with the ketchup/mayo fry sauce and were good. The burger was decent with a thin patty, lettuce and a relish type sauce in it (likely chopped pickle?). There were several large napkins included in the bag for messy in car eating people like me. I liked it for what it is: a quick and convenient cheap meal. I still like Dick's burgers and fries better but for the price and to support local, give Frugal's a try.

My office moved to Federal Way outside the Seattle area. Burger express has been around for 40…read moreyears, has won many local awards for burger of the year, and has a drive through. I normally have lunch here and the front desk person always remembers my order with a smile and the staff is eager to please the customers. The space still has the old style character from when it was first opened. During lunch, the place is always packed. Now, I don't eat beef and I always get the prime breast chicken with onion, pickles, cheddar cheese, grilled jalapeños , tomatoes , and mustard. Most burgers come with French fries that are wonderful and the bun is great. I had to stop eating the fries and the bun because I was falling asleep at work. Now the catch here is that most burger places that serve chicken tend to taste like chicken cooked with beef flavor - not at burger express. The chicken tastes like charbroiled chicken without the beef aftertaste. So now I have the chicken burger that looks like more of a salad. They always are accommodating and every time, produces a nice burger that I completely enjoy. That and a bag of potato chips is enough to be filling and keep me awake at work. Cheers to burger express. The only thing I wished they would consider is the option to have red onions. That would take this burger to the next level.

So this visit I got the strawberry milkshake with the shot of vodka, delicious; and we also ordered the Three pepper bomb hamburger, outstanding; we also got the buffalo calamari, which was again one of my favorites. But the problem came when we ordered the Nashville hot wings and the salmon sandwich. Both were lacking in flavor and presentation. One of the big issues with the salmon sandwich. The sandwich was served on thick cold bread, I couldn't barely taste the salmon and all the other ingredients on the sandwich (see photo). Wait. I take that back. You can also taste the billion tomatoes they had on the sandwich. I let the staff know the bread on my sandwich was not hot and ask them to toast the bread. Well, I got the sandwich back in five minutes and I don't know how they toasted the bread, but what they did made the sandwich a lot worse than it already was. I did not finish the sandwich at all. The Nashville, hot sauce was not great. The way the wings were served it looked like they brushed the sauce on the wings. Definitely, not my preference. I like my wings dipped and saucey. I probably shouldn't complain since the sauce wasn't that good. I'm actually advocating that they remove the salmon sandwich from the menu because if they can't do this well then they should just stick with burgers.

Both burgers were wrong: missing items, added onions (I'm allergic), no pickles or tomato. Food didn't match photos--bacon was crumbles, buns were stale and falling apart, wrong cheese. Two burgers cost $28. Ended up feeding it to the dog. Not recommended.

I really liked the bacon one more and my partner really preferred the pork shrimp one more so it worked out. Both were a 10/10!!! Crispy fresh fluffy bread. Not stale at all. And about $35 for both sandwiches and a can of Coke. Beware that crispy chicken will cut up the roof of your mouth though. It was worth every bite!! And they were so big that I could only eat half. Saved the other half for the next day and it was just as delicious. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town and it's not too late.

My favorites are the Thai chili shrimp & pork bao and their spicy torched shrimp & pork rice. Their portions are generous and they do not skimp on the meat. The only criticism I have is that the bao bun does start to fall apart getting soaked with the juices from the meat and sauces. Food is usually ready within 5-10 minutes. A very casual spot to grab a meal with ample amount of seating if you choose to dine in. There is some parking directly in front of the store but there is more towards the back. Definitely recommend this spot!

He got the spicy chicken teriyaki, and I decided (against my better judgment) to try something different and ordered the cheesesteak instead of one of their burgers--which I already know are really good. I should've just stuck with that. The cheesesteak was okay. The meat was tender and the flavor wasn't bad, but it was really dry. By the time I got home, I had to add my own condiments just to make it more enjoyable. It just felt like something was missing. My husband wasn't impressed with the teriyaki either. I didn't try it myself, but he said it wasn't the best he's had and probably wouldn't order it from here again. One highlight though--the peanut butter banana milkshake was delicious. Their milkshakes are definitely a win. Overall, I'd say this place is still worth it, but stick to the burgers--they're what they do best.
