The halibut and chips were great but tiny- only 2 small pieces for the $15 meal... Actually everything was really small portions- only about 6 rings in the order of onion rings. Otherwise pretty good. read more

Good food and friendly service! Convenient located, but with a very small parking area.

I'm so glad to have been recommended this place!! The Humdinger felt very homemade and delicious. I think it's a very unique mix of flavors and makes a good and juicy bite to eat. I would give 5 stars for the food! It's a bit odd how they expect us to know when our food is ready, because what if one can't hear them beat the window? I guess it's another unique factor that makes this place nostalgic for older people and unique. Place looks a little rundown on the outside, but the food makes up for it. Fry Sauce was a little overhyped though, but that's coming from a die hard ketchup fan. I love exploring and trying new food. I'm glad I gave this locally, and widely, praised little burger stop a try! read more

Food is always cold in the middle, they don't wear gloves when cooking, and smoke while cooking sometime!! my daughter told me she could see someone smoking while cooking on the grill. Disgusting. read more

No I will not be taking feedback on my 4 star rating. You either get it, or you don't. This place is a hidden gem whose prices will take you back 20+ years. There's absolutely nothing fancy about this place, but a good greasy burger and a perfect milkshake to wash it down. I've read a lot of reviews here talking about small portions, but what were you expecting when the item is $3 whole dollars? Buy two if you're that hungry, it surely won't hurt your wallet at these prices. And YES I will be stopping here whenever I roll through the area. read more

This place has a really good Burgers and French fries. The onion ring where a little plan. I use to stop a different place on the way home from the ocean. A friend had the fish sandwich. And said she liked it a lot better than the ones at the ocean. The filet hung out of bun on 3 sides read more

I've been going to the Hum Dinger from the time it was a Dairy Queen in the 1950's. Located on the Hoquiam River, I spent many an hour as a boy throwing rocks into the river from the Dinger's parking lot. Now I take photos of the shipyard across the way (a poor excuse to drive from Olympia for a milkshake). But back to the Hum Dinger. This is a classic American home town hamburger stand. No buzzers and bells - just good food. Milk shakes are dee - lish. Burgers done on an old iron grill the way they should be cooked. Sitting in your car, the staff bangs on the Hum Dinger's window to tell you your order is up, as it has been done for decades (how many of those pane windows have been broken over the years??) Places like this, that reflect an era and the local community are fading away in favor of chain places. Thank Goodness the Dinger still stands with a loyal following. read more

This place is the hook-up for basic burgers, fries and shakes. Getting in and out of the lot can be confusing due to construction but that is the fault of WSDOT, not Al's. Pay attention to the signage and you will be fine. read more

The fries and mushrooms are fantastic, the burgers are crazy thin and I do not find them enjoyable. But other than the burgers it's great. The shakes are just yummy and they have lots of options. read more

Last visit I ordered a Halawich sandwich and got a fish burger patty. We decided to try once more and I ordered 2 Halawich sandwiches and although I paid for it we got the fish patty again. It was so bad I couldn't finish it read more

Ever since certain employees left it's not the same! Phones never answered and food is always burnt. Sad days when you say these things about good ol humdinger... ‍ read more

Best burgers I've had in 2 years of living in Aberdeen and eating out a lot in my area.

Delicious old school style burger joint. Love their Halibut and Chips. There Coleslaw is fairly decent too. They have Pumpkin spice ice cream and milkshakes year round! Love their milkshakes. Good people that work there! Make sure to leave a tip. read more

Classic hometown goodness. We loved our halibut and chips. They really do make a great burger and onion rings.

Ate the deluxe cheese burger and onion rings. Both had their savory, unique flavor compared to the chain food restaurants. Loved the combination of sauces on the burger and the clean crunchiness of the onion rings! read more

This place is a family tradition. We stop every time on our way to the ocean. Everything is good here you can't go weong

Every time I'm in town, I must go to Al's Hum Dinger. Delicious food at a great price, it's a cute place that's on par with In n Out back in California. Highly, highly, highly recommended, I will always be coming back for the rest of my life. read more

I have fond memories of Humdinger and this was not a disappointment. Chocolate/marshmallow shake soooooo good! Just as I remembered. Great price for a value size shake, unbeatable. Shared this with my husband, only because it was so large, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten a drop. Also had the gizzards! Regular size was more than enough and reasonably priced! Comes with ranch sauce. read more

Hands down, best bacon burger in Grays Harbor, if not the entire state! The staff is amazing and all the food is awesome! This is a must stop if you're in Hoquiam, even if you're just passing thru on your way to the beaches. read more

Great food !!!! Everyone is sooo nice there and they always cook all the food super quickly . I definitely recommend this place !!! read more

Descent burger and great crinkle cut fries. Husband had a vanilla shake and loved it. It's small and gets pretty crowded at lunch and dinner times but better than Grizzly Den or Dairy Queen. read more

Cute little place to grab a bite. Reminded me of a shrimp shack on the east coast I love to go to. They have excellent shakes. Typical fried food. Fast service. Would go back if in the area again. read more

So hungry for a great burger and onion rings on the way to Forks. They have chicken and seafood dinner baskets. Hamburger you pay fries or onion rings on the side. No restrooms or indoor seating read more

If you happen to be driving through the town of Hoquiam and you feel even the TINIEST BIT hungry, do yourself a favor and stop at the Hum Dinger for a cheeseburger, onion rings (with special awesome sauce) and a shake. You won't be sorry you did. Two things to know if you do stop by: 1) you'll need a whole lot of napkins and 2) they pound on the plate glass window to let you know your order is ready. I didn't know that and nearly jumped out of my skin when the person banged the window right behind my head. I required another order of onion rings to calm myself down. Who am I kidding, I would have eaten the second order anyway! read more

Friendly fast service, good burgers and fries, good fry sauce, chicken and coleslaw. Good milkshakes - we tried hot fudge and marshmallow. We would stop again on our way to the beach! read more

It is a good stop for food on the way from Lake Quinault to Olympia. Haliwish which is Halibut fish sandwiches is great. Just add en extra dollar over the regular fish sandwich which looks like those from McDonald. The softserve is also recommended. You can order and then wait in your car. No, They didn't deliver to you in your car, but they will bang their wall to let you know when your order is ready. read more

I thought it was a little over-rated. Best part to my meal was the onion rings - battered, not breaded. Burger was average at best. Real, but average. I guess I'll vote with my feet. I have 4 more lunches and 4 dinners to eat while in Hoquiam. None of them will be a return trip. read more

Every time we drive through Aberdeen my husband and I stop here! Their food always hits the spot, I just wish they sold their amazing fry sauce. read more

Tried all the burgers now and I love them all. It's simple and perfect! Toasted bun, and condiment amount all fit so well together. Fries are always crispy and the onion rings are amazing read more

Used to have great food about 10 years ago but quality of burgers/size of patties have gone way down.... Go to grizzly den instead.

Great place! Stopped here on my way back from the beach. Had the halliburger (halibut) and a chocolate peanut butter shake, both were great. Nothjbg fancy, just solid, quality roadside diner food. They also have a dog menu and the outside seating is dog friendly, so I enjoyed a beautiful summer afternoon eating outside with my dog. I was really impressed with the service here. Genuinely friendly, helpful staff. Will definitely stop by again when I'm on my way to Quinault or the beach. read more

So good! We cannot drive by without stopping when we are in the area! Best burger and fries around!

This is a solid place to stop to get a decent burger, fries, and shake. The workers are friendly and fast and seem to understand the importance of quick service. Prices are pretty good. Food is pretty decent. Nothing to write home to mom about but a solid choice if you are making your way through the area. Skip the hailbut sandwich. Two VERY small pieces of fish on a bun. read more

Good thing they are delicious because those burgers are a hot mess. We always get the same thing double bacon cheeseburgers, a large onion ring, a pumpkin shake, and a rootbeer shake. And it is always amazing, except how they pack their burgers. They are always smashed on one side and look mangled as hell, that is the only that is keeping me from giving them 5 stars. read more

I should start this by saying I only had fries and only because I wanted to know what "fry sauce" was. The waitress told me fry sauce is a proprietary blend of ketchup, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and Tabasco sauce. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't amazing either. I can definitely see coming back for the fries someday, though I think the style of business would be better suited to a more oceanfront location as it would have appeal to walk up diners. There is not a ton of parking for a drive up diner, the ordering counter is in this tiny windowed corridor that maybe 8 people can fit in uncomfortably, and there's no place to stand outside to wait for your food. This means that if you're a walk up diner and it's raining, you're pretty much awkwardly in everyone's way. The only complaint I have is that the simple order of fries took almost 15 minutes. They were exceedingly freshly made, but I'm not sure it's worth the wait. read more

Al's Hum Dinger - Ordering area. - Burgers Near Me - Hoquiam, Washington

This use to be the best burger in town. I haven't been in years so we went there a couple nights ago. Service was great, still knock on the window when your order is done. Crinkle fries were fresh and hot. Coffee shake was delicious! The burger buns weren't toasted like before and if they were, very light and almost soggy. The meat patty was so thin I couldn't taste the beef. The sauce was okay, but very heavy on the mustard. It was edible, but it just wasn't like I remembered to be. read more

Love these burgers!! Always fresh, hot fries and awesome milk shakes! Friendly staff! Great place to stop on your way to Ocean Shores.

The lady behind the plexiglass shield wouldn't take my order until I put on my mask, which was in the car. Fine. When I go back 15 seconds later with my mask on she is no longer at the window to take my order. I look in the back where they are cooking the burgers and at least two of the people back there are NOT wearing masks. So I have to wear a mask to order food, but they don't have to wear masks to prepare the food??? There has been a different bunch in there for the last couple of months, maybe it changed ownership. The burgers were still good the last time we went there (a week ago), but this time I just left after the mask/no mask thing. We probably won't go back. read more

Classic drive-in style burger joint. It's small and can easily be missed. You walk in one of the side doors and order at one of two small counters. Large signs display the limited menu. The secret is that this restaurant is so good that it doesn't need anything more on its menu! There is no inside seating (feel free to wait in your car for your order) but there are a few picnic tables outside for those who'd like to eat while looking upon the sunken (and sinking) boats on the river! But, we're all here for the food! My husband agreed with me that these are some of the best burgers we've ever had. The fries are always hot & crispy. The onion rings are so delicious that I could just sit and eat them all day. The milkshakes are thick and creamy. I've only had the chocolate shake because when you find perfection, why change it up? This is one of those "hole-in-the-wall" places that you almost don't want to tell people about because you want to keep it all to yourself! read more

Stopped by here on our way north. Have passed it several times before and thought we need to try it. So glad we stopped! This is a real old fashioned kind of hamburger! Loved it and the crinkle fries!! Yummy! Hubby got a shake and I had to take a sip! Made me regret not ordering one myself! Next time! We'll definitely be back! read more
