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.

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.

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

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.

Closed at 10:30 just so y'all know. Yelp hours aren't correct and it wasted my time late at night.

Some burgers. Everything was very tasty. The burger gals said burgers were juicy. Fish and chips were huge. We could've shared. People were friendly. Place was clean. Bathrooms were outside the building, and it was very clean for a burger joint. Apparently this place used to be a Herfys.

Ahhh. Well they don't have the turnovers but they do have the tile. We went there on our way to a concert at White River Amphitheater. This is one of the cleanest fast food type establishment I have been to, period. I had looked at the menu before we got there and had already decided on the Halibut and Chips. Well I was not disappointed. 3 nice size, nicely done pieces of fish. Batter was nothing too special though not too thick and nice and crispy. Fish was tender and moist! Crinkle frys were done a bit crispy and held the fry sauce nicely. The single cheese burger was better than most. Just sloppy enough to need to wipe your face but not greasy. The Deep Fried Mushrooms were ok. They were a bit greasy and lacked flavor. They tasted like, well Mushrooms!! All told it was a great experience and we will go back. The menu has a pretty good selection of food. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was a bit noisy for me but not a deal breaker!

Really nothing special about this place and to be honest the food and the quantity of food reminds me so much of Herfeys... so much I'm not sure who knocked who off... not trying to run back here for food but will I come back... perhaps

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.
