Frugal Burger, Cheddar Burger
Emily L.

Went for a late lunch Sunday at around 2:30 pm. It was pretty busy when we got there, at first there was no seating but we were able to get seats before our food came out. The lady working was super kind and attentive too. We got the cheddar burger and frugal burger with a large fry. The burgers were delicious and came out fast. The fries were salty and delicious and extra hot as they are made fresh which I love! We got a few fry sauces to dip it in and it was good too. We wanted to get the huckleberry shake but they didn't have it so we decided for a vanilla shake. They also had a seasonal orange flavor which looked good. The shake was super creamy and thick, I would use a spoon for it next time. This place is delicious and affordable, definitely a must try when in the area!

I (Oliver) got rear ended on the way here so hopefully that will be improved. I ran into some old friends from high school and it was crazy. Weird guy paid for my food so watch out for him. My Diet Coke came out instantly and there was wayyyy too much. You can't make this up. Guy took temperature of one fry. What a joke! The service was very good though. Fries were hot and the burger. Was crazy so tasty and yummy and my belly was satiated. By fry 30 I was already feeling the effects. Also one of my fries was shaped like a penis... not pleased. I (Oliver) ordered inside but they said drive thru. Nice young man held the door oOverall pretty good

Frugals, a delicious diner that holds 17 people just outside Gonzaga University district. Drove by this spot killing time before heading to Spokane airport and I had to stop. I mean; Frugals, that's my middle name after all . I entered this little gem and was immediately greeted by 3 staff members. We took a seat at the bar and looked at the wall menu. (Table top menu is out of date and pricing is inaccurate). We settled on 2 cheeseburger combos and an order of fried cheese curds. The burgers, fries, cokes and cheese curds came out with a quickness. The burger was hot, juicy, dripping with ketchup and mustard and delicious. The fries were piping hot and salted to perfection. The Coca Cola was ice cold and the cheese curds, well, those are simply amazing fried little chunks of gooey goodness. There are free refills in your fountain drinks, the diner is as clean as it could be. The staff is friendly and the cook is fast. This place has to be packed during the college school year. I will stop here again if ever in the Gonzaga area for sure. It's a can't miss delicious diner spot.

Stopped by and was not disappointed. Food was cooked right in front of me and seasoned. Service was great and fast, limited seating inside, but they also had spots to sit outside as well.

Stopped and got a cheddar burger just to try it. It was solid and I'll definitely come back here eventually to give it a go

Great food for a great price. The burgers are cheap but yummy. The inside has a cute little retro feel to it.

This place is excellent cheap college comfort food. However, it is not FAST food. It takes forever.

Great food at really awesome prices! The burger and fries were great! The cheese curds weren't the greatest though. I'll definitely be back!

I had a cheeseburger combo with fries and drink for ten dollars that were good quality. I will be back and I recommend you try them.

Been there twice. Both times, burgers are so dry. Fries and cheese curds are good. Not even worth the cheap price unfortunately.

My husband and I are newer to the Latah Valley and with easy, quick food options being more limited…read morewe decided to try Shelbys Burgers. Delicious! Service was great, didn't wait long at all, I got a cheeseburger which was not only HUGE but had the coveted crispy edges that smash burgers are known for. The bun was super soft (think Shake Shack) My husband had a burger with fried onions which they nailed - he's picky about his fried onions (!) the fries were HOT crispy and truly delicious. I went crazy and got a fruity pebbles shake to top it off which I HIGHLY recommend (it's like fruity pebbles cereal milk and ice cream had a baby - yum!) Oh and Idid I mention you can add Booze??? We were able to sit outside and enjoy, what a cute, fun place to grab a quick bite! You won't regret it! My husband went back a few days ago and got a grilled hot dog which he says was the best he's had in decades as well just fyi!

If you like smash burgers, then, this is the place for you!…read moreFriendly service. Really enjoyed visiting with them. Ordered the Oklahoma. Not just greasy, extremely greasy, if you like that. Tasty, but, over-the-top on the greasiness. And, I now know smash burgers aren't my thing. For the price, seems like a few fries or tots should come with it. For the burger & basket of tots (which was a generous amount), was over $21 without drinks. We had water. Only two bad things: 1) I walk with a cane & it slipped on the greasy floor by the cash register where you order. Maybe throw another rug down there? 2) There was no hand soap in the bathroom. One of the staff said they hadn't gotten their supply order in & they were out. a) What are you using to wash your hands in the kitchen? Dish soap maybe? Hopefully, something other than the hand sanitizer that was being offered to customers. b) THERE'S LITERALLY A YOKE'S ACROSS THE PARKING LOT!!!! Finally, it was very busy (glad to see that!), especially on the patio. I love supporting local businesses, but, this just isn't for me.
