I remember when this place first opened but never got a chance to really try it as my family frequented other burger places in Federal Way. My little brother wanted to buy my boyfriend a birthday meal since he was busy working and not able to do a full birthday celebration. I got the Hawaiian burger meal and catfish burger, my boyfriend got their grilled onions burger meal and grilled chicken burger, and my brother got their spicy chicken burger meal and a side order of their curly fries and onion rings. When we arrived, we were told for our fountain drinks for our meal that we could chose whatever we wanted from their fridge as their machine was broken. The food took a few more minutes than the estimated time but it was fine as they got everything correct and it gave me time to ask my brother what he wanted for his drink. The service here seemed friendly and professional as they were very good about informing us when we told them that we were picking up an order and to all those who came after us. The store seems small outside but they had quite a bit of seating and tables for those who wanted to dine in. The decor is retro and gives very much a classic diner vibe which I enjoy. The food here was very tasty! The fries, curly fries and onion rings were delicious and went well with the fry sauce they provide here. The burgers were cooked to perfection! My little brother really enjoyed their spicy chicken burger as being the perfect level of spiciness. I really loved the catfish burger too, it wasn't too thin or thick. Definitely going to have to frequent here whenever we're feeling for burgers or their other offerings! read more

Favorite local burger spot! Bacon cheeseburgers are always on point and if you order ahead you'll have to wait just a minute on the fries because they always want them to be as fresh as possible for you. Also really solid price for the quality! read more

Surprisingly decently good food. The grilled onion burger was amazing, fries were okay, and the cheese sticks.

I like lD the girl on which burgers were grilled but the patty was too well done for my taste. Had it not been for the patty that was same size as bun it would have been a noteworthy burger what with the condiments, lettuce, tomatoes and dill pickles. The crinkle fries were nice but not extra crusty as requested. My chocolate-banana malt was good and real bananas versus syrup were employed. The lone front-of house person was cheerful and attentive despite running from one end to the other. The inside still showed remnants of the Subway that was and not well kept. I doubt I'll return. read more

The one star is for the fries only. We ordered salmon and chip and cod and chips and they we very small and skimpy. I didn't know their mushroom and Swiss burger came with Lettuce, tomato and ketchup! What in the world! Bun was soggy from the tomato and ketchup and I even tried to salvage the meat patty but it was too salty! A big NO for me. I will not return and I won't miss it. Used to be good before covid hit. The restaurant needs a deep cleaning and the oil they were using was very dark. No thank you. read more

We were staying in the area and looking for somewhere close for dinner, so we decided to give Flame Burger a try since they were close by. The parking lot is very small and has maybe only 10 spots. I would imagine it's hard to find parking here but luckily someone was leaving right as we got there. There were a handful of people waiting for their orders when we walked in but we were helped quickly and we were able to find a table since there was limited seating being a smaller restaurant. We decided to order 2 burgers, a drink, and a curly fry. They cook your food to order and everything was hot and fresh. It didnt take very long for our food to come out and they delivered it to our table. The curly fries were crispy and so good. The burgers had a charbroiled flavor which was so good. The sourdough flavor was delicious and I love how they toasted the bread. The prices are reasonable here for what you get! We will definitely be coming back here next time we are in the area. Really great service and good quality burgers. read more

I've been meaning to visit Flame Burger for about 3 years. The problem is it's off the beaten path (Hwy 99) and is most of the way to Brown's Point. That always seemed like too much effort for a burger basket. I was wrong about it being too much effort. The burgers are freshly grilled, toppings are fresh and applied thoughfully. They have about a dozen burger variants, my wife had the grilled onion cheeseburger and I had the Cali-burger (avacado & bacon). Both were excellent, significantly better than the local chain-burgers and we both felt the had the edge over the fast casuals as well. As to the sides, we shared a large Fried Zucchini (served with ranch). They were plentiful and the fry was flawless. Service was great and the prices were surprisingly inexpensive. The only down side is there isn't a lot of seating and a burger basket this good should be eaten while hot. They're 25 minutes out of my way and I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Nice people, good service, fresh food, and the best shakes! This is a regular stop and glad they are there.

Amazing food! Their fries are the best thing ever! Fried to perfection. The staff is wonderful, polite, fast and friendly. You cannot beat their prices either. read more

Fav burger place in fed !! I always get the bacon cheeseburger meal w/milkshake! So yummy and fresh

Delicious and very affordable during this "inflated economy". Their jalapeño burger was very delicious (totally forgot to take a picture before eating). They even sell cougar mountain cookies and only $2!!!!!! This will be our spot when we are in Federal Way. read more

Fantastic burgers, great price, kind staff. Had five in our party, different burgers all around, and everyone loved it.

They have the best fries, great staff and orders done right! Love this place. Get the fry sauce!

Been coming here for 6 years now and even though it gets super hectic sometimes, my food is almost always perfect and the prices are fair. It's absolutely the best burger joint in Federal Way. I highly recommend the mushroom burger and onion rings! Order a milkshake, they're really good. And make sure you keep track of the daily specials, they have a great rotation and there's something for everyone. read more

The food here is great! My wife and I have had the bacon cheeseburger, mushroom burger and jalapeño burger and they have all been delicious. All the sides are awesome as well; the only thing I have to try are their milkshakes! The only annoying thing is it has been impossible to call in an order, the line is always busy. That's the only thing keeping this place from 5 stars. read more

This is a hidden diamond! After my brother told me about the family owned place and how good their food is, I definitely gave it a try and all I can say is, I am so impressed by the service we got. The place felt chill and the music was top notch. It smelled too good in there and the prices are incredible!! I wish thise place gets super big, much respect. Definitely returning :) read more

People that leave bad reviews dont know good burgers this place is THE BEST i seen that someone said the fries were good but they were to crusty HUH?! Go to McDonald's pal read more

They have an excellent selection of burgers and various fried sides here. The food is always good and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly too. The kids and I all enjoyed our meals. The restaurant itself is odd because it's still partially adorned with artifacts from its previous tenant (Quiznos), mixed with a menu board that is straight out of the eighties. But honestly, who cares. It's a burger place. And a good one at that. read more

First off you can't beat the price. McDonald's or Burger King will charge you more. Second the food is great, as long as you don't mind crinkle cut fries. Which I'm a fan of. Tarter was solid, fri sauce was great, zero complaints on the cheese burger. Highly recommend this place. Staff has always been great. read more

The service is awesome, everyone is nice and their tenders are good and they have the best fries. Not too salty and not too crunchy. They make them fresh read more

Flame Burger Plus Revisit (Aug 14, 2023 Lunch time. Last visit June 2022) This revisit occurred during one of the hottest days in 2023 in WA state. My daughter and I were looking for a burger place for lunch, and chose this place from previous experience of about 15 months. We also wanted to find a place with air conditioning to get out of the heat. Well, the air conditioning was not quite there as far as I can tell. The facility was loud due to the high speed venting fan sounds over the cooking space. I can't quite tell if the indoor air circulation was due to weak air conditioning, or simply due to the air being "pulled" through the high speed loud venting fans. We did not noticed the problem till we stepped out of the store after the meal, when we felt the cooler outside temperature while in the shaded area. This, however, did not distract much from the taste of the food, which was excellent. I have since raised the star rating of this place from my previous 4 star rating, to now a 5 star rating. This time around, the ice tea dispenser was not working. Right beside the cash register has the Specials listing with about 5 or more items. I may have missed the cheesesteak the previous time, or maybe this is a "new" item? I am a cheesesteak fan, and will always try out a cheesesteak if it is on the menu. Daughter had the same Bacon Cheeseburger as she did the previous time. She claimed the burger was just as good as before, the fries were fried well, and the Fried Zucchini sticks (new item ordered this time around.) were divine. The cheesesteak sandwich is different from others. It seems this place uses "Steak-umm" type thin sliced beef as the meat base, with added sauteed onions and green peppers, plus a slice of cheese added to it. The "torpedo" bread was grilled nicely (Bread tastes better processed this way when compared to simply toasting it. Perhaps it is because of some grease from the grilled meat sticking to it?). The only downside is that it did not have enough of the sauteed vegetables; other than that, I find that it is the best tasting cheesesteak I've ever had in WA state so far. The fries, fried zucchini, and the Pepsi products also complimented the meal excellently. The staff were pleasant (Not sure where the boss is.) and the "piped" background music provided a cool environment to the dine-in experience (partially drown out the loud air vent noise too.). Both of us enjoyed that meal thoroughly. Again, if you are in the area, make sure you make the effort to visit the place and try out the food. Enjoy and tell us your personal experience. Happy Eating !!!! P..S. Food prices did not increase from what I posted previously. YAY! read more

Quaint corner hamburger and fish and chips place. 5 tables inside and 1 outside. Nice Ma and Pa service. Great small greasy burger joint. Little dirty but great dive bar slash gas station burger joint vibe. Try the shakes while you are there! read more

Bacon sourdough cheeseburger w/crinkle fries: The bread was perfectly toasted and the patty was well seasoned and full of flavor. Crinkle fries are my favorite. They were crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. Jalapeño cheeseburger w/crinkle fries: They use fresh jalapeños so it's actually spicy. All of the burgers are huge and taste fresh! Western bbq burger w/curly fries: Tangy and slightly sweet. It was packed with flavor and the curly fries complemented it well w/its slight saltiness. Onion rings: this was a small order but it actually came with a lot and the onion rings weren't small either! Had a nice crunch and wasn't overly breaded. Jalapeño poppers: omg these were so good. They melt in your mouth but still have a nice crispiness to them. Fresh food, great service, and large portions! Their menu is massive. I can't wait to come back and try some more things. read more

I ordered the Cheeseburger with Mushrooms and my Husband ordered the Sourdough Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries. All of it was really good. Anxious to try a different burger with a different side like Onion Rings or Zucchini. Maybe even a shake. I heard they are really popular. I don't think I could do the food and a shake at the same time. I'd have to make a separate visit for the shake. Then trying to decide what flavor? read more

I just brought my family here after a long day at work, and I'll tell you what I've never been so honored to be an American! The food was great. It's one of those spots that you know what you're getting and they over deliver the service was friendly and fast and they took the time to help the ladies pick a good burger! Lastly the ambiance was great it just feels like an honest family friendly establishment! Thank you to the team for delivering the comfort and burger I've been needing 10/10 read more

Damn. These are some good burgers. Cheap and super charbroiled taste. I put bacon on the mushroom Swiss. Flame burger is superfire, seriously. read more

Flame Burger Plus - Mushroom Swiss w/Bacon Burger &Onion Rings - Burgers Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

Really good food, the restaurant is always clean with good music playing, the customer series is hit or miss sometimes but I understand we all have bad days. If they don't hand you your food in the restaurant they'll bring it out to your car or where your standing AS SOON as it's done as long as they don't have a line. Personally I get the bacon Cheeseburger or the chicken strips they're my favorite. read more

Oooooohhhhhweeeeee! I was super happy with this meal. I was out in the area and wanted a burger super bad so i looked up some local eats and came across this joint. I got the cod and chips basket (super reasonably priced) and my husband got the mushroom Swiss and the western bbq burger. Everything was so so good. Especially the fish and the mushroom Swiss! The lady was very friendly despite being super busy. The fries were crispy yet still had tons of potato in them. The sauces were SO good. Make sure you try their fry sauce and the ranch. read more

You are doing yourself a disservice by not eating at Flame Burger + Great food lovingly made and it shows through the taste~ read more

Not a great place for us this time around. The burgers were burnt, the fries were just too greasy for our liking and our burgers didn't have the things we wanted on them. The chocolate shake was excellent, and I know there were a few new workers that day. So 3/5 stars just because this was the first visit, but I'm willing to try them again! read more

The burgers are amazing!!! Ive seen wait times up to 45 minute, but only because people realize how good they are and it is definitely worth the wait. I would definitely recommend coming here! read more

This place has become unreliable. Most times when we order during the week it's ok but Friday and Saturday are hit and miss. Today we ordered our usual 2 bacon cheese burgers, fries and onion rings. Fries seemed double fried and bottom of the bunch with all kinds of small leftover pieces. The onion rings were more like onion sticks and curls. Edible, crispy but low on quality. I think they make the burgers first and let them sit getting cold while they make the sides because the burgers are often cold. Today my burger buns were also old. Had to microwave our burgers and removed the lettuce that became wilted. We live 2 min away so the burgers shouldn't be cold. read more

April 12, 2018 Came here again (can't remember how many times so far) and it did not disappoint. Perfectly classic bacon cheese burger with fries (the piping hot golden spuds.) Still highly recommended! August 2019 Back again. Did not disappoint and it never has. There have been different cooks a couple of times and each one gets it the same and exactly right. Strayed from bacon cheeseburger and went with the Western Burger. It's the cheese burger but with onion rings in it and bbq. Recommended. It was not slathered with too much bbq but just the right amount. Gonna get it again. read more

When flame cooking burgers using 1/4 lbs patties you really have to be on your game and stay on the grill. My burger had fresh vegetable toppings but the foundation was over cooked and dried out. The fries for whatever reason lacked consistency in color and taste. Some fries were spot on while others were crispy and oily. read more

Aboustely AMAZING!! This if definitely my new place to go for burgers , shakes and a little extra ! Me and my husband recently moved to the Federal Way area and wanted to check out some hole in the wall spots. It so happens my husband does door dash a lot and ended up here one night, so the next day he wanted to bring me so we both could try it, and boy I wasn't disappointed! When you first walk in you smell all the amazing patties sizzling away on grill and friendly faces welcome you in. There menu was really creative from cheeseburgers to salmon burgers even fish and chips and grilled cheeses. You can definitely go crazy , mix and match and add more to your order. Also even the shakes are pretty rad from coconut , green tea to mint and the classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate. It's funny because this place had my dream sandwich sourdough cheeseburger which I ordered with fries and a green tea shake. My husband ordered the double jalapeño cheeseburger with a normal soft drink. Ended up spending $29 which isn't too bad for everything. So we waited a couple minutes and our DELICIOUS amazing smelling mouth watering food finally came. FOR what you pay you definitely get ALOT. There serving is huge. So my first impressions of my sourdough burger was GREAT it wasn't greasy, packed with condiments and the patty was juicy and huge. Let me tell you the first bite was magical , packed with flavor and ingredients. THE FRIES GUYS THE FRIES are really good! Crinkle cut , freshly made and hot! I love the crunch you get and you MUST GET there house sauce which you can get a ton by the other sauces they serve by the fouutain drinks. Tasted creamy and good. My husband eats ALOT usually a burger doesn't fill him but his double jalapeño burger made him so full, and satisfied tons of jalapeños and flavor! The burger itself was huge as well. So now on to the MILKSHAKE not only was I Impressed that they had pretty different flavors such as coconut and green tea, but THEY don't skip out on the flavor. I ordered the green tea milkshake so CREAMY and not overwhelming strong with green tea flavor , BUT for a couple extra cents you could add extra flavor for any shake you want , I thought that was pretty cool. I really recommended coming to this spot. It's fast, delicious & worth the prices. The servers are friendly and very caring. Lots of options, myst read more

Came here for the first time after driving around randomly, looking for food. Looked at the menu, seems like quite an extensive menu. I stood there looking for a while, and no one tried to rush me, they just stood waiting patiently. When I was ready to order, I walked to the front and a friendly dude with a gentle voice greeted me, and his manner reminded me of the character of Jason from "The Good Place". I ordered a Jalapeno for myself and a BBQ burger for my wife. After that, we sat down. There was a set of orders before us, so there was a wait, but we were finished eating at about 40 minutes after initally ordering, end to end, so not too shabby. The food was great; the crinkle fries were nice and crispy, and the burgers had grilled onions and well blended flavors. The jalapenos on my burger were slightly cooked, which took the edge off and made them quite flavorful. We ordered shakes with our meals, and they were thick, but still thin enough that you could drink them with a straw without your cheeks getting sore. A few observations and suggestions: - the food safety rating was Excellent, but there was a lot of visible dirt, on the floors and tables. It didn't bother me that much, I just found it odd. - There didn't appear to be any condiments accessible, but I didn't want to bother the staff to ask. I thought the fries could use a bit more salt, just my preference. having accessible condiments would be nice. all in all, good place for burgers, I saw some other things like fish and chips and philly cheese that looked like it would be good. Next time! read more

Good size custom jalapeno and grilled onion burger, fries with secret sauce and real large chocolate shake.

The prices that you see online is completely different when you get in the store the halibut says $20 for six pieces when you get in there is $40. The manager is so uncut service friendly. It's ridiculous. I would never ever go again and will not refer anyone to go. read more
