Bacon Swiss Burger and fries
Charlyn I.

Oh yeah!! Drove from Sea Tac to visit family and wanted something quick to eat. Heard this burger drive thru was pretty good. All 6 of us were happy with our orders! I only took one pic but it was delicious and the fries good with the sauce. Would definitely go back again on our next visit!

Milkshake, Large, Huckleberry

We were told Frugals was a must visit when in Port Angeles and we decided to drop by for our last meal before leaving. This location is drive through only. We actually drove past it several times on our trip. On the first night, there was a line of cars out all the way down 101. We decided to go for lunch instead since we didn't want to wait. This was a bit after noon and the line was way more manageable. Double Cheeseburger ($7.48) - They start with a fluffy sesame bun, then pile on the sauces (mayo, mustard, ketchup), diced onion, pickles, shredded lettuce, and finally two burger patties with cheese. The toppings are all on the bottom, which make the first flavor to hit the tongue a sweet, salty, sour, and creamy punch. There is a decent amount of lettuce and onion and only three small pickle chips that help add some additional crunch and acidity, but there aren't really enough to cover every bite. The burger patties are solid fast food/drive-in type patties. They have a decent char taste and are easy to eat, although there's not really any char texture, and instead the burgers are the same texture throughout. Overall, a good burger, as expected of this type of establishment. (4/5) Cheddar Cheese Curds ($3.95) - These are decent curds. They are fried to a good crisp. They're salty, cheesy, and have a good cheese curd chew. The breading has small rocky pieces of raised breading embedded throughout. Pretty standard fried curds. Unfortunately they don't really give a lot for the price - only like 10 or so curds. (4/5) Milkshake, Large, Huckleberry ($4.95) - This milkshake has nice smooth consistency throughout. There aren't any thicker or thinner spots in particular, so it's a nice drink from start to finish. Very drinkable, not horribly oversweet, and with a good huckleberry flavor. I mean, it's a milkshake. Even an average milkshake is good! (4/5) Frugals is a pretty typical drive through/in burger place. They don't knock anything out of the park, but serve good classic burgers, milkshakes, and sides.

Unfortunately this evening I got half way through my food and found a short black, very visible hair

Ordered a mushroom Swiss burger, got halfway through and was unfortunately met with a short black, very visible hair in the middle of my food. Do not reccomend this establishment. For the record I have red hair.

We did not get pictures on this stop, we were too excited to eat after our day in the park and on the road. We stopped here because we wanted something quick and we thought the burgers would be the star of the show, but honestly they were kind of mid, instead it was the cheese curds that were the best! This is a drive thru only restaurant, and the service wasn't great but they were super busy...so I attribute it to that.

Cheeseburger with extra pickles

An absolute gem!! My family and I stopped here after a nice hike at hurricane ridge and man did Frugals hit the spot! We each grabbed a burger and fries with a milkshake, and it was epic! It was a classic and fresh burger - you could tell it was great quality. The milkshakes and fries were bangers and we couldn't get enough! Don't be spooked by the long lines in the drive through, the service moves pretty quickly and they're super friendly as well. The ambiance was that of a classic burger diner joint from way back when, so it was giving nostalgia vibes! Overall, a banger - I want to go back!

Cheese curds $4
Joyce T.

It's not frugal per se, burgers with $6-7 each is pricey. There's no dining in, all drive through, the lines were long but they moved fast. We had bacon cheeseburger $6.80, mushroom swiss burger $6.50 and cheese curds $4, the portions were decent except the cheese curds which was tiny pack. The beef patties were a bit dry but overall it tasted good.

Frugal burger is always a must when passing through Port Angeles. It is a drive thru, no indoor seating. They have great shakes and fries too!

Samantha G.

Everything you want a burger to be! The fries and milkshakes were perfection. Not too sweet but perfectly complimentary to the meal. For under $30, two people can have a fantastic dinner; and take it to the scenic sit spot of your choice since this joint is DINE IN ONLY. Eat here you won't be disappointed!

Do they offer lettuce wrapped burgers for gluten sensitivity?

I don't think they do, but there are better places in town that can.

Wendy's - New Spicy Chicken Sandwich (spicier and crispier)

I haven't had too many things from Wendy's, but their chili cheese fries are pretty good when you…read morehave a craving for chili cheese fries and Firehouse isn't open. I wound up at Wendy's getting chili cheese fries because Firehouse was closed on a Saturday night (WTH?) and I hadn't eaten anything all day and wanted chili cheese fries. Wendy's is the only place that was open and so I went. I was skeptical at first, but I gotta say. It's pretty good stuff. Staff was friendly to boot! It's $3.00 for a little tray and enough to satisfy your craving for junky food for sure. I've tried some other Wendy's offerings and they are just okay. The chili cheese fries are definitely a deal.

We thought we'd give Wendy's a chance even though their reviews on Yelp were only a 2 star. Well…read morethe other reviewers were spot on! I don't know if they are short staffed or what! The staff member behind the counter appeared to be the "Shift Manager" because he was yelling at the whole staff ! 1. The Ketchup Containers were both bone dry. 2. Every table was dirty. 3. Both Bathrooms were filthy! We decided as soon as we ate the food we had ordered and paid for we would go across the street and see if their bathrooms were clean and we were happy to find them clean enough to use. We won't be going back to that Wendy's. While I was trying to use a Wendy's bathroom my husband overheard a customer say to the manager how healthy the bathroom was that they used.

Out here from the East Coast. Hiking around for a week or so. We decided to look for a dedicated…read morehamburger joint. Firehouse came up with consistently good reviews, and what I noticed more than anything was the owner, Trevor, was individually feeling many responses; good or bad. This impressed me so we decided to grab some burgers. The young man taking our orders was manning the Lane outside the very small outlet. He was thorough, he knew his business, and he was polite with a great sense of humor. My partner had the bacon bleu burger and I had the aftershock smash. Like a scene out of When Harry Met Sally, we had all sorts of specific requests: no onions on this, Swiss instead of cheddar, whatever. The kiddo took this all in stride, unlike the professional he was repeated our order back to us without having made one mistake. By the way-it was all quite good. Burgers were good. Fries were good. The only offhand request would have been allowing me to try the speciality lemonade as part of my combo-we would have paid the up charge. As for as I'm concerned, if you're in the area and you want a burger, try them out. They have tons of choices and the smash options are solid. Thanks.

My 7yo wanted a burger, so I looked on Yelp. One thing I noticed was that the "Firehouse" Yelp…read morerepresentative responded to negative reviews. That means something to some of us. When we arrived, my son noticed that the order-taker "looked pretty young." I was able to tell him that this place was family-owned because of Yelp, so "maybe he is the owner's son. If so, that's pretty cool. I loved that we could order with three cars in front of us and, by the time we got to the window, we only had to wait a couple minutes for our two custom burgers. The 7yo told me his burger was "really good!" And I really liked the flavor of my Firehouse burger. We loved that there was a choice between regular fries and the waffle variety. Next time, and there will be a next time, I want to try the onion rings. I played it safe this time, but since I'll be back, that's a route I will take.
