The burger was super good, I got the seasonal hot chicken one and it was so delicious (i love saucy burger), like actually hit. The cheese curds are really good too. Honestly everything we got was perfect. The drive-thru is easy and quick, the staff is friendly. Definitely a place I'd go back to. read more

I've been in a burger mood recently and Yelped that category while in Auburn on Saturday. Frugal's came up with good reviews and at the right price so that's where I went. 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. read more

10/10 recommend. Easy to order. I had a regular cheeseburger w/ fries & their fry sauce, will def be getting it again. Customer service was nice & quick! read more

Fast and friendly service every time. The #1is my go to order. I'm sure the other menu items are good as well, but I haven't felt the need to explore the menu. #1 is close to perfection and only $8.95. read more

Fun drive thru. Lines were long but they know what they are doing and it was quick. Great cheeseburger, well toasted bun. So happy we checked this place out! read more

The cheese curds are 10/10 fresh and so good. Burgers are also really good, very fresh. Fries are ehh not my fav. Staff are really nice. Sometimes the wait is pretty long, but it's a drive thru only and small, so I get it, they're making stuff to order which is good. read more

Pretty standard burger. Its not the kind of place you'd want to go out of your way for but if you're nearby and craving a burger it's worth a stop. Prices are reasonable as well. 8.95 for a base burger, fries and regular a regular drink. read more

Food is amazing. People working are incredibly nice. We will definitely be returning here to eat again

Oh my God, you're slinging burgers how hard can it be for me to get one warm/hot cheeseburger versus room temp into my hands in a drive-through?!??!? No lines either,,,lol I know I know first world problem read more

If you're craving burgers, this is the place for you! Yummy perfect portions, and cheap (thus their name) It's only a "drive through" but on both sides so, yes, our orders were quickly handed to us - great service! The place is lit up like a diner; but, no seating - it's a drive through read more

Went for the first time and it was good, will go again. The drive through was quick, appreciate that.

Good prices for a hot delicious hamburger and good skinny fries w special sauce. Fast friendly service.

Amazing burgers , quick, friendly service . I forgot that I ordered fries and they proactively put fry sauce. They have interesting burgers of the month and up to trying them. The best part (besides these guys being so friendly ) is that they spoil dogos ! I'll keep the amount of bacon exchanged confidential but my dog loves it too! They do things the right way , so many places don't . read more

Elegant environment, perfect table service. Food is as you expect, pretty, but not totally unique. Their coat hanging situation leaves a little to be desired. Pricey, but given the environment, I can understand why. read more

I've driven past Frugal's countless times and there was always a line of cars. Today was the day I stopped to see what the fuss was about. We waited in line and we were able to order our food. Some places the employee can't hear you or you can't hear them. Not the case here. We got their basic burger and some fries. I didn't know what to expect so I was cautious and set the bar low. However, the burger was actually pretty good and the fries had the right amount of salt on them. The employees are friendly and they seem to have a lot of fun. They seemed to have a lot of people working hard in there! I think I'll swing by there again next time I'm craving a burger. read more

Since I've moved to WA from Cali, it's hard to find a great burger the kind we get from hamburger stands. Haven't found one yet that doesn't cost $20. When I came here I got my moneys worth, they were kind of skimpy on their fries, their shakes aren't all that that people rave about. My bacon cheese burger though hit the spot. My daughter had the mushroom burger she was disappointed she said it was very dry and they only gave her 5 mushrooms. This place is the overall affordable place for a burger and a charbroiled burger at that. read more

In short: A classically-styled retro burger shack with good food, great prices, and no dining room. In long: I think there are a couple of these; this one's just off the main drag in Auburn. They have one side of a parking lot shared with a couple of big warehouse type businesses. No dining room! You can drive through either side of the shack, which is not really a shack in the well-built sense: it's pretty (covered with chrome for that Jetsons look), it's new construction, and clearly designed to be exactly what it is. You can drive through on the right, or on the left if you have a passenger to work with the window. The usual big menu signs with speakers for ordering. Menu's short--burgers, fries, shakes, pop isn't listed but it's there. The 1/4-lb cheeseburger to me was like a Big Mac that tasted especially good. Just one patty, and it didn't have that middle bun, but sesame seeds on top, and lots of that pinkish fry sauce in the flavor. It's been years since I've had a Big Mac, but this seemed reminiscent of it, in a good way. The fries were very similar in size and shape to McDonald's fries, except not cooked quite so toasty well-done. Good flavor, very consistent texture. I was out the door with that stuff and an iced tea for under $10, which is decent pricing these days. You can add a tip to that, which I did. The kids were super nice on the mic and quick at the window. I drove a long way to try this spot on the recommendation of an old HS buddy, and it was worth it. I don't know how often I'll make it back through Auburn but this place will stick in my head if I'm hungry next time I'm in town. read more

Cheap Simple Classic cheeseburgers. I got try to the grilled chicken sandwich as well and I would stick to the classic hamburgers instead. Great spot! read more

Dropped by around 9pm for a late dinner. Your employee's were definitely BUTT HURT to cook my two burgers and fries. Very bad attitude and the order was wrong. I'm telling you this with the hope you might care enough to fix the problems. Second straight time there has been an issue. 2 Stikes with one to go !!! read more

Just had the seattle smash burger for a late lunch. Enjoyed the double patties, bacon, cheese and some jalapeños! Who knew a few peppers could enhance the cheese flavor?! It was just $9.95 and more than I could eat. My husband is more of a regular for the Halibut sandwich, but this was my first smash burger! New favorite!!! read more

Always love this place, but tonight it was NOT cooked to order, and or food was COLD! Puyallup frugsl is much better! So disappointed in not in this area often so with that i don't think I try this Frugal for quite some time. read more

OOOHH SHIT! This place is amazing! Today I was craving beef and originally thought of Korean bbq but my bf really love burgers. To meet in the middle I told him I want a burger place that will give me a lot of beef. And we stumble upon here. The MONSTER BURGER! It's not on the menu from what I saw but I saw ppl taken a pic and reviewed it. And zayyymn! I got to say it comes with 4 patties lettuce and Mayo. I added slice tomato but I kind of wish cheese came with it cause it might make it look better. The patties were juicy and I was satisfied. I like their fries too. Very simple, much better than fives guys or even dicks. If you are looking for a fatass meat heavy burger. Come here and get the monster burger. read more

Frugals - Monster burger - Fast Food Near Me - Auburn, Washington

TLDR/ Food: Nostalgic and Delicious Service: Quick and efficient Price: Decent Best burgers in Auburn. Seriously. The shakes are good, and are made with care. The burgers are cooked to order and made how you like them. The fries come out piping hot and they won't make it home intact if you start eating them on the way - they are that addictive. They have fried cheese curds people, and they taste glorious. Their tarter and fry sauces are worth the up charge and the fish sandwich they offer never disappoints. Honestly, I have never been unhappy after a meal at Frugals. If you want a burger that is the way you wished all the BBQ burgers you had as a kid tasted, then this is your spot. Come for the fries, or the milkshakes but keep coming back for the consistency and quality. A white bag filled with YUM! read more

Frugals is a nice quick stop if you're in the mood for burgers but want a burger that tastes homemade and not like your typical fast food burger. The restaurant itself looks like one of the many small drive thru coffee shops that are scattered all around Washington which is very convenient because you can order your food from the drive up windows on either side of the small shop. They have typical burger joint food like burgers, shakes, fries, etc. I was disappointed that they didn't have onion rings at this location like they do at the one in Parkland. I ordered the 1/2 lb. double cheeseburger. It was a little messy but the flavor was there. The service was fast and friendly. I would visit this place again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Friday December 6; 1:30pm I was traveling through the area and stopped here for lunch based on the four-star Yelp review. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, fries, fry sauce, and a chocolate shake. The fry bag was a little short, the fries were barely warm, obviously they had been sitting around too long; the fry sauce was good. The bacon cheeseburger had; meat patty, cheese, bacon, lettuce, pickles, onions, mustard, ketchup, and mayo. The whole sandwich was barely warm, the cheese was not melting at all, the meat patty appears to have been sitting around before serving. It was like everything I got was left over from the lunch rush. The milkshake was typical of what comes out of a soft serve machine. Overall this was a terrible meal. read more

One of the most frustrating things a business can do is not keep the hours they have posted. I experienced this tonight at Frugals. I was in the area, but not close to the restaurant. I drove out of my way only to find out that they had closed early. The staff cleaning said that they are normal closing time is 11 parentheses as posted on the Internet parentheses but they decided to close at 10 this night. Always a bad omen for the future of a restaurant... read more

I upgraded from 4 stars to 5 because recently the manager had contacted me and took the time to correct the free fries mistake. I have couples for two large fries and a Frugals sticker. I am going to put that on my truck for sure! This is how you run a great restaurant. read more

Voted best in the Northwest says the sign. Well it's definitely good, tastes homemade and not greasy. We went to try it and the service is decent. I think I expected wow and it was just ok. For just ok I'll make it myself. Not worth waiting in long line and getting it cold won't be back. But I tried it. read more

Frugals is the fast food best burger place on the west coast. Nothing beats the fresh hamburgers and fries. Not only is the food amazing but the service is just as good. They even give love to my dog. If you want to be full and leave with a smile, Frugals is the place for you. Get a seasonal shake while you're there too! read more

Not much has changed (except prices almost doubling within 10 years), which is a good thing during these trying times. Stopped in while doing some shopping at Walgreens next door for a BLT and fries-always good, and decided to update my price photo since they do not offer online ordering or a viewable menu of any kind. read more
