    An amazing Burger joint that should not be passed up. It is easy to miss this gem. Their burgers are fresh and consistent. Their sauce is spot on. You can get a double Patty with cheese under $7. Definitely a business that should be supported. There are more items on the menu that I need to try and I see in the reviews there is a Polish Burger. I have not tried their milkshakes yet. It is a little yellow building that is easy to pass. They are very friendly and are a family business.

    Solid burger drive-thru spot. Not fancy. Burgers are thin/small and nearly always overcooked. Buns are toasted. Crinkle fries are crispy. No onion rings available. Chicken strips are okay, nothing special. The chocolate shake was very chocolaty, more on the milky end of the thick-to-thin spectrum. Not the fastest drive thru, so keep patience, this isn't mcd's. Friendly staff. Overall a fine meal. A bit expensive for the quality.

    Stopped in today for the first time. Following recommendations from.other Yelpers I got the Hot Link burger (double), fries, Green River soda; daughter chose cheeseburger and a blackberry shake. Haven't had a Green River fountain drink since the days of the old Basket Case Drive-in in Skyway. Both burgers were terrific, krinkle fries crisp and tender, shake was good, Green river a bit mild-but it was a hot day and the ice was melting fast. They offer GR shakes and sundaes too! Will need to try that next time!

    I had the hot link burger. It was amazing. The taste was out of this space. The spice level was awesome. I had onion rings and they were good. The food is freshly made at this drive thru and worth the wait.

    Food is tasty, hot, fresh! Only drive thru available. Only tried the cheeseburger and fries. Will have to expand to try the fish & chips. Friendly staff. Fry sauce is interesting but good, they use relish. Definitely recommend, way better than your normal big chain hamburger place.

    Great state burger is good. Dick's is fine and cheap, but have ya heard of ma boi Zesto's? Sorry Seattle, but going to dicks now only seems worth going to if it is the middle of the night. This and Burbs burgers and the best cheap burgers in town. And they have krinkle cut fries. The burger is a classic style burger. Not big in any way, but decent sized. They have a great sized menu for a place like this. And places like this are slowly dying off. Gotta make sure they sustain bougie of todays food scenes. Also, grape soda. They know the way to my heart.

    Drove by on our way home when my husband spied Zesto's. We decided to take a chance and WOW, I am so glad we did. This place is not fancy, in fact other Yelpers were correct in saying that you might even drive by without thinking to stop. Trust me, it does look like it's closed but it's not, so stop! Menu was on poster board inside the sliding window. I placed our order: cheeseburger, hot link burger, small fries, and a marshmallow shake. She instructed us to drive up to the other sliding window and we waited for the food to cook. Our payment was taken and we drove over to Seward Park to enjoy our burgers by the water. His cheeseburger was simple and my hot link burger was delicious. I'd definitely return for one of those! The fries were a little overly salted but they were old school crispy crinkle so nostalgia was sated. He really loved the shake and was musing about the flavours offered: vanilla, chocolate, pineapple, strawberry, black sesame, caramel, butterscotch, and a variety of fresh fruits. If I could have enjoyed one, it would have been black sesame all the way. Zesto's is on our radar now and if we're craving some tasty fast food en route to Seward, we will definitely pitstop here.

    Good stuff. If you like old fashioned burgers and crinkle cut fries, this is the place. Cheap, no hassle, no frills. Odd hours though. Hot links burger: 4/5 I've never had a burger with hot links in it before but it was delicious flavor wise. The only thing I didn't like about it was the odd texture of eating a burger (soft and balanced well when you chew) and then there's the hot link's encasing which doesn't tear off well so it's like you get a big piece or none. It's not deal breaker, just an annoyance. Crinkle cut fries: 5/5 I love these cause they're old school. I grew up eating these all the time so it's nostalgia for me. Crispy outside and soft inside is the way I like my fries.

    Hot link burger with egg! The food here is actually really delicious.

    2 words. Do. It. This place has always seemed sketchy to me ever since I was a little girl. Never once have I ever stopped in until recently. And boy do I regret all of those years judging this place and searching for the perfect burger when it was right here two miles away from my home. It's a fast food place except the wait is actually kind of long. I don't mind though because the food is soooo good! Whatever you do, make sure you get the hot link burger. It's a regular burger with your regular toppings and condiments but man does that hot link make a difference. It's the best I've ever had. I love their fries too. Prices are super reasonable for the amount of food you get. So whatever you do, do it!!! Zesto will not disappoint.

I also love using the kiosk, who doesn't enjoy ordering from pictures and minimizing human interaction? That said, I still prefer takeout or the drive-thru over eating inside. Unfortunately, there were a few uncomfortable moments with people asking for food or making remarks toward women, and that happened inside the restaurant, not outside. And a solid awkward moment where he stand there and watches me eat. Demon Huntrix Meal This meal comes with two sauces. The Hunter Sauce is a sweet chili sauce that's more tangy than spicy. The Demon Sauce is a mustard based sauce with purple coloring. Both sauces were kind of mid to me, nothing terrible, but a little bland with just a slight mustard kick. The Ramyeon McShaker Fries were actually my favorite part. They really do taste like instant ramen seasoning, with a light garlic and cheesy flavor. I enjoyed these a lot. The 10-piece Chicken McNuggets were crispy as usual, always a reliable classic. Big Arch The Big Arch is basically like a bigger Big Mac, but the sauce tastes more tangy and creamy. It's definitely worth trying at least once before it disappears from the menu. Overall, some fun limited-time items to check out, especially if you're curious about the flavors. The fries were the standout for me!

And I think maybe since then they have stepped their game up. Upon going in it was very clean. I was greeted by the workers and wasn't waiting for long. Everybody was super nice and smiled and never at any point did I feel uncomfortable there or like I wasn't welcome. After receiving the food, my son's first compliment was on the fries that he got from KFC. He said they were delicious to him and nice and warm. I went to fill my drink and upon taste in it it tasted kind of watery, so I went to speak with the lady at the front and told her I thought it might be low. She politely went and checked and came back and told me she thought that I was correct and went right away and changed it for me. There was no hesitation and she did it with a smile. And as soon as she was done, she gave me the thumbs up and all was good to go. When I received my food from the Taco Bell, it was nice and hot and you can tell that it was made fresh. So perhaps in the past they had some poor guidelines that they went by, but something has clearly changed since down, and I am extremely happy with my experience here. I would definitely return. And I would recommend this place where as there's a couple of these branches that I definitely would not. But this is not one of them. I'm very happy with my experience.

    Being a foodie, it's hard not to compare a recent meal here with all the changes that's happened…read moresince I've eaten at any location a long time ago... I decided on a whim one day to get some food here to change up my usual rhythm of getting a Vietnamese sandwich, so I got here on a Saturday for some lunch to take out. This particular location hasn't had too much of a structural change since I've passed by here when I used to eat at the now-closed Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant. If anything, it still smells heavily of fried oil inside, and tables and chairs here give a regular fast-food vibe. You order what you want through one of two kiosks near the front, and you can pay by cash at the front counter; otherwise you pay for most meals by card. Food took maybe about 10 minutes to come out, and I was actually kinda excited to have McDonald's again after a really long time of not having it. Then came the food, and wow I got things to say: - I got two large French fries, and wow have portion sizes shrunk considerably! I remember they used to be in red-colored cardboard cartons but now they're in paper bags that are much smaller than before. The fries weren't even oversalted like they were back then (though that technically shouldn't be a bad thing). - The same goes for the 20 chicken nuggets I got; they came in two small paper bags holding 10 nuggets each. But quality for these hasn't changed much, and were still all right. - My biggest disappointment was the spicy deluxe McCrispy burger. The condiments (like tomatoes and lettuce) were all right, though the patty could have been crisper. The buns were too soft for me, and I'm pretty sure I heard my burger "fart" while I was clenching onto it... it was the hot sauce that was oozing from the burger. Overall very low quality burger that doesn't have much going for it. Most things here are actually all right and would warrant a 3-star rating from me on a normal basis. But what really caused my rating to be 2 stars instead was that my stomach felt quite uncomfortable after eating everything, and I did realize I felt a little germaphobic just going inside the restaurant. Not that that's an abnormal thing given many locations I've been to are also like this. Of course, "What'd you expect from fast food???" is what I would be asked here, but it's good to give some places a try - with some exceptions like this place, of course.

You order at the window on North side of the shop and pickup at the window on the South side of the shop. There used to be limited indoor seating but that is no more.

They double wrap the sandwich in foil and butcher paper and if you include the paper bag it comes in, you have a triple wrapped mound of yumminess! The steak is chopped finely and the Wiz is oozing all over the sandwich. They cook it to order so it is piping hot when you open it and it smells wonderful. The bun surrounds the contents pretty well but as with this type of sandwich it can get messy quickly. Definitely use caution. Always a crowd here and everyone looks happy with anticipation of the arrival of their coveted cheesesteak (especially me!). Give this place a try and you won't be sorry.

Every bite was super cheesy and meaty. It was absolutely delicious. I could only eat half of it and save the other half for the next day.
