Good burgers & shakes. Fast and friendly service. Typical drive in style where you order via intercom and food comes out hot and ready quite quickly! Both the shake and burger scored high on my 10 year old son's rating system. read more

Wally's Drive-In - JR double cheese burger, ketchup only - American Near Me - Buckley, Washington

Love Wally's. A Buckley fixture and a treat everytime we take the kids. It's a drive-in with seating as well. Classic. Glad we live close by. The steady menu is always very consistent quality. The service is great, like you must be friendly to work there. The ambiance is drive-in with a slight touch of diner. The burgers remind me of a hybrid between Great State and Dick's Burgers. The shakes are uh-maz-ingggg. They also serve Dole whip, Whizzers (Blizzards), Sundaes, floats, and cones (including swirl! McDonald's doesnt even do that anymore). They also have fish, they make their own homemade chowder (yet to try), sandwiches, etc. My kids learned to like white fish by trying the fish here. Not my liking, but they enjoy it quite a bit. All the sides and extras are excellent. I wish the Mac and cheese bites were less zesty and more salty, but I'm a dreamer. Wally's has sold or is selling ownership, so I hope they remain the same general quality and taste they've had since I first started going here. Until quality, service, or something showstopping changes we'll continue to enjoy our meals there. Definitely recommend eating at Wally's. read more

Wally's Drive-In - Menu and specials - American Near Me - Buckley, Washington

Stopped at Wally's after a basketball tournament with three hungry teens. We pulled into two different drive in slots, but they were both out of order. We eventually just parked and went inside to order. Really cool old school atmosphere. I love driving up and ordering, then having the food brought to your car, disappointed no slots we tried were operational. Service was great inside where we eventually ordered. We tried two fried chicken sandwiches, a double cheeseburger, the BBLT, and the special- a Philly cheeseburger. All were delicious and cooked fresh. The fries stole the show- really good thick cut fries. Onion rings- not great. Overall really hit the spot after games. read more

I just moved to the area and was looking for a good burger joint, so I drove here and I really wanted to like it. I was excited because the pictures of the burgers look good. So I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a side of chili cheese fries. The chili cheese fries had three hairs....three, really? The french fries were good, but you can taste the oil and you can tell that other things were being fried in the same oil, so I got a sweet after taste. The burger taste was a combination of a McDonald's Big Mac and a charbroiled burger. Sad to say I won't be coming back because if I find 3 hairs in 1 dish, this makes me question how clean this place is not. read more

We stumbled upon this place on a drive one day and finally came back to try it. This is a drive-in style burger joint where you can park and order at the stall or go inside and eat there. Very old school and retro but also very cute. The staff brought the food out pretty quickly (within 15 minutes) which was 45 minutes before closing. All of the food was great, we would happily come back. 5/5 read more

Drove past this location, a billion and one times. Finally had the time and appetite to make my way to Wally's. I ordered the cheese burger with grilled onions and also the bacon cheeseburger with fries and taters. The burgers were soooo good but the fries were okay. They are beer battered. Not my favorite. The taters were good - who can go wrong with a tater tot. Service was okay. Ambiance was okay - definitely 1950s drive in. The vibe was not welcoming for us. read more

Very average food, nothing special but a fun experience using the drive in speaker & eating in the car w/the kids.

Wally fish in the drive-through you get enormous pieces of fish and so tender every time I go there they're the same exactly the same wonderful not fried too much. Not fried too little just perfectly done. read more

Was visiting Enumclaw/Buckley for the first time not too long ago, and I thought Wally's Drive-In would be a great place to check out since it fit the vibes of the adventure. My friend and I decided to dine in, so we both got some burgers and fries. I ordered the Wally Whopper which came with two patties, slices of American cheese and pieces of bacon, and some veggies between brioche buns. Ah man, the first few bites were SO GOOD. It tastes like how burgers should always be. But over time as I kept eating, I got a little tired of eating it. Maybe it was just too much for me, perhaps a single patty would have done me better. The fries were also great, thick cut and every bite was satisfying. Now THAT is something I can't get sick of. The house sauce with the fries also paired well together. Not the kind of burger place I would keep coming back to if it was near me, but if I am in the area I would consider revisiting. read more

Wally's Drive-In - American Near Me - Buckley, Washington

Let's start first with the atmosphere, love it. This is exactly the kind of old school diner that I love. They get bonus points for staying true to that vibe. Next we can talk about the excellent service the staff here provide, they are friendly and seem to really care about their customers. Unfortunately the food is where it fell short for me. The rodeo burger was great, cheese and saucy, just the way it should be. However, the fried chicken sandwich was bland, had no flavor... the breading needed seasoning for sure, and that bland chicken ruined the whole sandwich for me. The onion rings were better than average, as it didn't have the stringy stuff that makes you pull out the whole onion when you bite in, good for them on that... but again the batter was sorta bland. Lastly was Wally's sauce, let's talk about this for a minute.... I have a bone to pick with these places, everyone claiming to have their secret sauce... Normas, Big Tom's, Bob's, Frisko Freeze, Shake Shake Shake... I could go on.... ITS ALWAYS THE SAME SAUCE. Some variation of mayo, ketchup, mustard, and relish, Worcestershire, and garlic powder. Can we please come together and just make this known so they stop charging us extra for the secret sauce. Please, we don't get charged for ketchup, or mustard or mayo, it's not a secret, everybody has it... Ok rant over... Anyway go here, it's reasonably priced, friendly, cool vibe... Just don't get the bland breaded stuff. read more

We ordered four ice cream cones and one milkshake, and it took over 30 minutes to receive our order. During that time, several customers who ordered after us received both their ice cream and their food before we did. When we asked why our order was taking so long and why others who ordered later were being served first, the only response we received was, "We're busy." There was no apology, no explanation, and no effort to make the situation right. Long wait times can happen, especially during busy periods, but good customer service makes all the difference. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and concern for our experience was disappointing. We'll be taking our business elsewhere in the future. read more

The food is great, a bit pricey yet worth it Service is very good. l really like the fact that they bring the food out to the car

Came back and I still stand by my original comments. Burgers were ok... not a fan of the fries. Service is good. read more

I found them to be really tasty burgers! I guess I prefer my burgers bare at a place like this. The only reason for 4 stars is because I wish the bread held up a little more! I really enjoyed the fries! The tots weren't bad but I'll leave those to taco time. It was fun to sit there and eat our burgers then head over to the other side of the street for ice cream. It was a really fun date night! Service was a lot faster than I realized! Everyone was super nice and polite. It was just a fun experience for sure! read more

Always good! Only stop by on the way to/from Mt Rainier so not too often. Real old-fashioned drive-in food & ambiance. Got the Wally Whopper, as listed, fries, and a Root Beer shake. (Almost) too much food! Actually saved some for when I got home to Newcastle. read more

Keep driving to either Enumclaw or Bonney Lake, I live in Buckley and have given this place numerous chances for our liking. Burgers are "mushy" with no flavor and extremely overpriced. Not what it once was when we first moved here 17 years ago read more

My family of four ate here after hiking at Mount Rainier National Park, and it hit the spot! The burgers are great, I highly recommend the milkshakes, and the atmosphere was great! It was an old-school vibe that made my parents nostalgic. My mom forgot her fish didn't come with fries, so she went inside and told us she had just forgotten to order them. A waitress came out with an order of fries because she felt bad. Great fries too! read more

What a fun, old fashioned burger place! You can drive up and order from a cute menu box. So cool to see this type of restaurant, as there are fewer and fewer these days! We both got the cheeseburger and onion rings. The burger was delicious and cooked well. The onion rings were the perfect amount of breading, crispy and delicious! The people that work there are kind, efficient, and friendly! The restaurant was so busy, they were all working so hard. Thank you for your hard work, delicious food, and fun experience! read more

Wally's Drive-In - Fun old timey menu box that you order from and they bring your food out! - American Near Me - Buckley, Washington

Prices are way too high. Food is subpar, service is poor, owners support January 6th and encourage white supremacist ideals. Also removed my previous comment. I'll keep reviewing, people need to know who they're supporting and the way they will be treated on the property as a POC. It's incredibly relevant to the experience YELP. If you remove any of my reviews again in regard to this establishment, I will report to FTC for further investigations on Yelps "due process" and transparency. read more

Burgers that ruin other burgers for you, fish and chips Poseidon would fight for, and ice cream worth the lactose gamble."

The food here is always great! They forgot our sauces but we have some at home so no problem. Really good place to eat!

Several rats were observed during DAYLIGHT in their parking lot. Inside of the establishment was trashy with many tables waiting to be bussed. Bathroom was in horrible condition, like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. Just your kind of place if you're a "patriot". read more

This place is like going back into the 1960's drive in and has lots of nostalgia where you can drive up and eat from the car. We were seeing how close we could get to to Mt. Rainier and you drive right by Wally's on the way. From the street view it's very inviting and stop by and seems like you're going "Back to the Future" by having a burger, coke and wrinkle fried potato's. read more

Amazing extra thick milk shakes that come in at least 10 flavors. The atmosphere takes me back to a time when your order was delivered on roller skates. read more

Outstanding service I recommend calling ahead super busy due to super good food I had the Wally whopper

Soggy burgers with way too much sauce in the middle, making it an average sloppy burger to satisfy your cravings. It is better than most fast food places though. We ordered a butterscotch shake, a chocolate shake, and jalapeño burgers: Butterscotch tastes like melted Wether's butterscotch candies. - 7/10. Chocolate tastes a lot like a melted Hershey's chocolate bar. - 5/10. My fiance didnt like it because it was way too sugary and sweet. The jalapeño burger was average. Regular lettuce and tomatoes, nothing special. Patty was cooked well done. Just way too much mayo, causing the dining experience to be messier than usual. - 7/10. Tater tots were crispy and squishy in the middle. Not an overall crisp taste. - 5/10 Overall, I will come back, but with a different menu item. There might be a less messier burger for me to enjoy. read more

Very nice folks! Yummy food! I got a cheeseburger and my friend got some special burger and they were both fantastic! The onion rings are amazing.

Food is good, service a little slow. But otherwise not too bad. Next time will have to try the restaurant in Des Moines

What an incredible experience! These a great sized burgers, extremely filling, hot and fresh. It has a very classic feel and is just a solid good tasting burger. The fries are absolutely fantastic!! Super addicting especially when paired with the Wally's sauce. I legit can't wait to go back. It was that good. If you're the kind of person that usually orders double burgers, think twice as the single is super filling. We will be back soon! Thanks Wally's team! read more
