Other than the bad area they are located in this place is a pretty good spot to eat from and they have breakfast good and dinner good so you can't complain with that and when all other hamburger joints are closed other than mc Donald's they are the ones that area still open. 24 hour burger joint, I recommend you go and check it out.. Say I referred you. Lol.l ok l. read more

Bland. No flavor the meat was dry like the meat was cooked ahead of time considering how fast it came out it was defiantly not cooked to ordered it was assembled to order. The lettuce was brown and questionable, and the fries were warm not hot obviously sitting under a heat lamp. I wish I would have noticed that they only had a "Okay" health report. My stomach is upset I feel like I want puke. read more

I was craving a burger but I hadn't been here since 2015 so I decided to see if they'd resolved the cluster*** that used to pass for service. The food was still mediocre at best - flaccid, soggy fries with sauce That packed more of a 'gentle nudge' than a 'kick'of spice. They don't seem to have a burger that comes with tomato and no option to add so I guess they just don't offer tomato, which for me is essential for a good burger. I got a dub C. It was ok. I ordered online which required me to choose a temperature (doneness) I may as well have not selected anything because it came out well done (I ordered med rare) and I will assume all burgers come out well done for some reason . They were on point with pickles tho. Everything else was unremarkable. I arrived right when the app said my food would be ready (roughly ten minutes after placing my order online) I had to wait another five more minutes which wasn't terrible. However they need to ask the creepy dudes on their phones who stand right by the window whose orders aren't nearly ready to move out the way because it's uncomfortable to get to the window with them standing there. The workers themselves were friendly though. They serve soft serve, not ice cream. Don't expect hand-dipped ice cream. They don't do it. They're still playing the same terrible music (thankfully not as loudly as before). I was grateful I could escape it in my car. I think if you don't come here with high expectations you'll be fine. It's not the mess it was ten years ago, but it's still not someplace I want to return. The prices were pretty reasonable. Cheaper than McDonald's but the food is real. Definitely order ahead for best results. And bring your own tomatoes? lol also I watched several cars doink off the parking barriers. Careful not to damage your car when pulling in. read more

Food is good but the service is terrible late night when there's only 2 workers, the lady that's always their don't event tell you to wait she's soo busy that she just ignores you read more

What better way to get burgers during a pandemic than through an outdoor walk-up window? Thanks to previous reviewers, I ordered the Dub-C burger and was NOT disappointed. To my delight, the burger was juicy and saucy without being greasy. Also, they're very generous with the pickles and I LOVE pickles. The sauce is similar to thousand island but with a subtle spiciness to it. I also very much enjoyed the corn dog bites dipped in cheese sauce. The fries were not as crispy as I prefer, but a few minutes in the air fryer made them better. Next time, I'm skipping the fries. Lastly, the watermelon shake advertised on the board was what got our attention. We ordered it and found that we couldn't handle how sweet it was! But it definitely tastes like watermelon. read more

Boss Drive-In - Wear your mask to order at the walk-up window. - Fast Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Extremely reasonable prices and decent food! I decided to order delivery and came across Boss Drive In. The first thing that stood out to me was the fried Oreos! As a Texan, I'm quite obsessed with basically anything fried, and fried Oreos especially are my true weakness. I ended up ordering those and a tub of fries with the Boss home style sauce. I will say, I wasn't expecting much from the fries, but I was really surprised at how HUGE the tub actually was! I'm really glad I didn't order a burger too, because there was no way I could've eaten it all. The sauce was really flavorful, and it almost reminded me of Raising Cane's. The Oreos were divine - they were soft on the outside and crispy on the inside, and they even came with a dipping sauce of choice! I normally just had them without a sauce, and so the double chocolate dip sealed the deal. I'm so glad to have found this spot and will absolutely come by in person next time! read more

I want to like this place. I've tried to like this place. I've been here maybe 10-15 times since living in west Seattle. Every time I go here, something gets fucked up. The order gets "lost" (great job order kiosk), something gets left out of the bag, or you wait 30 minutes for a severely mediocre burger with an insane amount of raw onions (why?????) and cold fries. I'm calling it. This place is a no for me. read more

Make the ramp accessible (not as steep), or have a moving walkway installed on the ramps.

As always the food is great, prepared to order and claims never frozen meat. Produce is fresh as well with a nice crunch from the sweet pickles and lettuce. They are quick and friendly, although always check your order before you leave. Ambiance is nice, with music playing, and as you can see in the photo, they have blue awnings they can roll out when it's raining. You can eat in your car or take it home, there isn't really seating. There are some cement blocks about three feet high that separate the parking and ordering windows that people sit and lean on, but you'd probably not want to eat there. Pro tip: it you get fried Oreos, eat them on the way home. They don't travel well, but they are delicious either way really. read more

This place has just as many 1-star reviews as it does 5. That alone should tell you that consistency isn't their forte. I was hesitant to try them, but you never know unless you try. As always, I checked the website before I rolled out. I ended up having a heavy lunch, so I knew I wouldn't go overboard here I had the double cheeseburger $6 and Fries $3, somehow that came out to 11. I gave the cashier $21, but for some reason, I got $9 back. I waited for my dollar, but he walked away. Rather than argue, I just stepped aside. That said, when I got my order, the fries were spilling over, so I just considered my dollar a welcome donation. The burger was good, better than any fast-food burger, yes, even Dicks, that said, the burger was a bit dry. The description advised the burger had Boss Sauce, but mine didn't. Fries come with a sauce, no one asked me about sauce, so I asked for Boss sauce when I got my order. Boss sauce was extremely tasty, but it was thin, when I dipped my fries, it dripped all over the place. Dipping sauce shouldn't drip it should be thick enough to hold its bubble. Everyone here was nice, but not the most competent people. Had I not been overcharged, and my burger not been dry, this would have been 4 stars easy. I have no idea who owns this place, but if they had better management to increase consistency and ensure top shelf service, this would not only be a hot spot, it would have multiple locations. This is out of the way for me, so based on my experience, I doubt I'd return, but that is unfortunate, because again, this place has the potential to be Seattle's #1 fast food burger. You call yourself a Boss, but you are taking a loss! read more

How does an order take longer than it should but is also served cold? Boss has figured it out! They have chosen to accept online orders but then don't staff accordingly. I saw one human working and he was clearly overwhelmed. My walk-up order sat there getting cold while the employee was busy assembling orders for Grubhub, DoorDash, etc. Was he also cooking everything? They have recently installed a kiosk where you place your own order (no human at the register like old times) and then it asks for a tip. To whom? I didn't interact with a single person. Even the delivery drivers were frustrated that they couldn't get anyone's attention. I asked for the receipt that I instructed the kiosk to print out (seeing something about a hidden surcharge in other reviews), but all I was given was the ticket that printed up on the kitchen line. At least I could confirm the order time. Yep, way too long. And it was cold! I hope the owner sees this: Do better, please. This neighborhood and community deserve it. Have more people working that also understand and enjoy customer service. I'll spare you the review about another order taking way too long and not a single employee bothered to piece together that the bag sitting in the window belonged to the guy outside that had been waiting forever (cold food that time, too). read more

Solid burger in the Seattle area. Great value! If you're really hungry, I'd recommend ordering either the Heavy Hitter burger, or if you're craving chicken, I'd recommend the Boss Crispy Chicken - juicy and it's huge! Loved that their Tub of Fries was a huge portion for $5. You order from the window outside. Punch cards are available, if you're a regular. read more

I drive by this place a lot, but I never tried it because of the mediocre Yelp rating. Well, I finally ate here and I was pleasantly surprised! Boss is a drive-in, which turns out to be the perfect type of restaurant for a pandemic. You can order at the window and then just eat in your car. They have a nice parking lot with several spots. I assumed they had burgers, but their menu is huge. They have classic hamburgers and cheeseburgers plus a veggie burger and several chicken options. It turns out they specialize in all things fried! They have fried fish, chicken tenders, french fries, onion rings, corn dog bites, mac and cheese bites, and deep fried Oreos! For soft drinks they have Pepsi products. For dessert they also have several items: blurry (ice cream blended with candy toppings), milkshake, sundae, float, cone, or cup. I mostly came here because I was looking for a milkshake. They have tons of fun flavors like blackberry, cherry, peach, pineapple, etc. I also ordered the mac and cheese bites (deep fried mac and cheese nuggets). The mac was similar to Kraft, but I'm ok with that since I grew up on that stuff, LOL. My husband got fish and chips. The fish tasted great and was definitely piping hot. The fries are also decent. They are crinkle cut with light seasoning on them and come with your choice of dipping sauce. Overall, I love the huge menu here and I thought the prices were pretty dang cheap. We went in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday, so they weren't busy. The person who took my order was very nice and we received our food quickly. I look forward to visiting Boss Burger again. read more

Call in as it's on the way home. Doesn't take phone order. Tells me to order online. So I have to pull over and figure out their online order system. I order online. I'm 13 minutes from the location. I get there. There's no one in line. Order hasn't even begun yet. They say two minutes at the window. 25 Minutes later I'm still waiting. 39 minutes later I get my order. So 3 sandwiches takes 40 minutes or so is what you should get from this review. read more

I drove past this burger joint for a year before ai decided to try it out on the night we were actually moving away from West Seattle which was a bummer considering how delicious this burger was and it was only 2 minutes from home. I ordered the Heavy Hitter because I enjoy some jalapeños in my burger . I give it a 5/5 based on taste, size, and price. Some people might think it's on the smaller side but for someone being on the smaller side, it was perfect portion. Before ordering for the first time, I actually read some other reviews and thank God I did not order the bucket of fries like one person did because I love me some fries but even the kid's size fried were enough for me! Considering I had a whole burger to eat it with too. As if that wasn't enough food, I went ahead and ordered a milkshake as well! I ordered the raspberry milkshake and it didn't taste as fresh as I was expecting, I guess I wanted like straight up fresh raspberries in my milkshake. I haven't had a milkshake in over 10 years maybe and wanted it to be amazing but it still tasted alright. No biggie. I tried a different flavor on a different occasion and that tasted a lot better (although I forget what flavor it was, think it was peach) only because I'm allergic to peaches and thinking, if they don't use fresh ingredients, I'll be fine!! I may be allergic to fresh peaches but I sure do miss the flavor of peaches so I got myself one anyways. read more

Really sad this place got bought out and just isn't the same as it was 4 years ago!! Waited way too long to place our order and our food was sub par. Only thing that was edible was the blurry but that seemed off too. Deep fried Oreos used to come with powder sugar and chocolate sauce. Was not the case this time. Fries were stale and boss sauce was lumpy. I want the old owners back! read more

I went to Boss yesterday and was really disappointed. We've enjoyed going in the past and were looking forward to tasty, classic burgers and their fries (so good!). Initially ordering our food was fine, until I tried to redeem my full punch card for $5 off. The person working the window first took my punch card, didn't look at it, and then waited for me to pay. When I pointed out that it was full, he told me I had to use it next time. I asked why I couldn't use it this time and a said something about the buttons on his screen and I had to use it next time. That was the only explanation I was given. $5 did not make or break my ability to purchase the food, it was just frustrating, especially because nowhere is it made clear that you have to let them know you have a punch card before your transaction (which I assume was the problem, though I'm still not sure). I got the food and our order was correct, which was great as one of the burgers was customized and getting that correct had been an issue in the past. However, when I got home (a quick 10 minute drive), my burger was cold, which was very disappointing. Also, both burgers we ordered were questionably pink inside. However, I will say that the fries and cheese sauce were delicious - I love the way they season their fries. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be going back - just too frustrating and fries don't make up for a mediocre burger. read more

The new owner has successfully destroyed this place. The Boss Drive In used to be a treat, but burgers are now pretty gross. Service is horrible. Don't waste your time or money here. At this point, McDonald's would be a better choice. One star is generous. Old Boss/owner, we really miss you. read more

Holy Crap! This place needs its stars bumped up because it is a hidden GEM! Old school drive in feel with amazing quality food and groovy tunes! The burgers are top Quality beef never frozen and they have a burger for them western cowboys to the black bean variety and holy crap are they good I had the Heavy hitter and the crispy Buffalo Chicken! Bacon grilled onions and jalapeños! Zesty Buffalo chicken fillets!!!!!!!!!! Amazing fries like del taco Crinkle Cut with amazing seasoning They have something for everyone from Mini Corn dogs to Mac n cheese bites and deep fried Freaking Oreos! This place is a must if they had a drive up movie theater it would be Heaven! read more

Clearly new owner. The past month has been the worst - and the new owner, or manager, isn't helping. Every oder has been wrong, and this is really hard to do when your order only consists of 2 burgers. I paid for additional sauces (Boss sauce and Tarter) - and alas, they werent in the bag. When I picked up my order once it was called, I had to remind them that my sons lemonade wasn't provided. This caused an "issue" in terms of the man clearly was frustrated and yelled "GET A LEMONADE FOR HER." My sons burger wasnt customer, just meat, cheese, and bun...but yet somehow they messed that up. Mine was the chicken burger with extra lettuce and boss sauce - didnt happen. I used to adore this place, but I refuse to come back until they fix whats going one with management. You advertise fresh grilled burgers, but they are clearly frozen and there is nothing grilled about them. You're lucky you get 2 stars; mainly because I know you have the potential. But that hasn't always worked out for me in the dating world so...theres that. read more

Boss Drive-In - Fast Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Almost exactly 6 years ago, I rated this place 5/5. The other day I visited after being out of state for six months. In general, the food is still delicious, but I'm giving it 1 star because at some point, they decided to start nickel-and-diming their customers. The dipping sauce containers they provide have been reduced in size, and not only that, they've started only filling them up halfway. Now, when I want to dip my fries in their delicious, delicious Boss sauce, each container maybe has enough sauce for five french fries. It's a bunch of fucking bullshit, and I had to turn around and go back and then pay $0.49 for each additional tiny-ass container of sauce because this is where they decided to fuck over their loyal customers. I get it. Times are rough. The pandemic has affected us all. Maybe start charging another quarter. I'm willing to pay a bit extra. But do not try to sneakily fucking over your customer base with this horseshit and inconvenience everyone. read more

We moved 3 blocks away from Boss, and this may be a problem for our waistlines. The burgers are inexpensive, well made, and super flavorful. The drive-in vibe is super cool, and the music blasting on the speakers makes the time fly while you wait for your number to be called. There is a picnic table on the side of the building, but other than that this food is all To-Go. Take it to a nearby park, back home, or eat in your car - old school style. I "think" the beef can be subbed for bean patties or poultry of some sort, but I haven't asked for it yet. The Good E's Turkey Burger is my new favorite, but the chicken sandwiches made with chicken tenders are fun and tasty, too. Any of these, a Tub of Fries, and a shake make for a filling meal. My boyfriend's go-to is the Dub-C with bacon added. read more

Boss Drive-In - Fast Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been driving past this place since they opened several years ago because I hardly eat fast food, let alone burgers. But today, I was craving a burger and instead of McDonald's, I wanted to give this place a try. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time and money. I ordered the Dub-C burger but was not impressed at all. Their Boss sauce did nothing to add flavor to this pathetic burger and it's one of their recommended burgers too. The chocolate shake wasnt bad; thick like I like it. But what added insult to injury is they tack on a surcharge to your bill and have the nerve to solicit a tip percent. I'm glad I didnt do that. The food was horrible read more

Boss Drive-In - Fast Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food is okay but service is terrible. 45 minute ticket time for 1 burger and milkshake on a Sunday afternoon. They told me 5 minutes when they didnt have anything ready. It was another 20 minutes. When my burger came it was cold and dry. I told the guy and he claimed that wasnt possible. I know what a burger looks like when its been sitting. Never visiting again. read more

I was a little skeptical from the reviews saying the fries weren't crispy, but I was pleasantly surprised! They were super hot and crispy! I just wish the burgers were a little bigger, but for the price, you can't beat it! Heads up- boss sauce has a very small kick to it. I didn't know what to expect with it. read more

Boss Drive-In - Menu (10/5/21) - Fast Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The only reason worth going here is desperation, and even then, do you have bread at home? I'd suggest making some toast... Ordered a cheeseburger and fry, got home 3 min later and realized the burger was completely cold. It was like 12am so fearing for my life I gambled with still eating it, but removed the meat and heated it in the microwave in an attempt to make it taste better and possibly nuke any bacteria (prob not a thing but worth a try?). Fries were very cold and just barely cooked too. BUT THE FEES! if cold food isn't reason enough to never come here, what about the ridiculous taxes and surcharges!! If I find the energy at some point I will be reporting them cause something is NOT RIGHT. read more

Finally tried this spot after driving by a number of times and it is pretty good. I got the boss sauce on the boss hog and it had a good burger, wasn't too juicy where it ruined the buns (after about a 5 minute ride home), had lots of sweet pickles and the boss sauce went well with it. The grilled onions were also pretty good on there. Fries were solid, nice and salty and they weren't too flimsy. read more

Boss Drive-In - Boss hog with regular fries - Fast Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overpriced, almost prohibitively and criminally so for a fast food restaurant. If you are a zoomer and don't mind spending $20 plus for 4 small McDonalds-sized cheeseburgers for you and a friend, this is your place, food tastes as good as it did with the original owners. But you HAVE to be drunk to be ok with these new prices. Little Woody's is in the same neighborhood and is a much better value product (Psst! They taste better too), one burger there will fill you up. Not here. read more

Good News/Bad News The first time I went here, I was thoroughly unimpressed. And then I stopped by a second time for a strawberry shake, which easily tied Luna Park Cafe's for Best in West Seattle (and environs). I soon made it a habit to pick one up on my way home from work. Well, today I tried the Heavy Hitter, which is easily better than any burger on McDonalds or BK's menus. Unfortunately, they've destroyed their strawberry milkshake, which used to be made from real strawberry ice cream and replaced it with the (presumably) cheaper and faster synthetic shit you find at the national chains. This stuff is just nasty -- too sweet, too cloying and day-glo pink. It looks radio active and tastes like sugary death. I wouldn't force it on my worst enemy. Do not order the milkshakes! read more

Food was mid tier at best, overpriced and honestly just not worth it whatsoever. The only redeeming point for me here is the fact that I don't have to walk too far from work to get the food. The service was horrendous and I consistently get treated like I'm bothering the workers for getting food at their "restaurant" that has a bad safety rating. read more

Boss Drive-In - 8 dollar chicken tenders (and fries.) - Fast Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Boss Drive In might be the perfect spot for a quarantine meal! You park your car out front and order at the outdoor window. There is no indoor seating and it's only carry out. You can also conveniently wait outdoors or in your car for your order because your number is called out on a speaker as well as on an updated number ticker sign in the window. I have had the Dub C burger twice now, and it is delicious! It has 2 beef patties, cheese, pickles, lettuce, and boss sauce. The boss sauce really is excellent. It's like a spicy fry sauce, or like a spicy Big Mac sauce, and it's great on the burger and as a dip for the fries. I've had the Mac and cheese bites too and while they were good (also great to dip into the boss sauce), I find them a bit too expensive for what they're worth. I think that goes for most Mac and cheese bites though. Boss Drive In is a great place to hit up during these times of social distance. The burgers are super affordable, with a wide variety of burgers, and they are delicious! Definitely try it out. read more

Simple drive in burger place, reasonably priced. You know when you see a plumber looking dude pull up that you're about to eat some food of the people. I got the Dub-C, a nice classic made to order double cheese burger. Old school American smash burger style. With "boss sauce", their spin on fry sauce. It was a delicious burger. I also got the "kids tenders" despite not being a kid. Pretty typical chicken tenders. Sriracha bacon sauce was good too; it's a mix of ranch, sriracha, and bacon sauce. Boss sauce was better. Fries are pretty mediocre, crinkle cut. These guys should change their fries. This place is good, REAL good! My only regret is I didn't order the "green gremlin" milkshake, whatever that is. read more

Nutella milkshake, enough said. We had to go to Home Depot and drove past. We were hungry so gave the place a try. I got cowboy burger which comes with delicious onion ring. Hubby got Sriracha chicken sandwich that he enjoyed. We split yummy crinkle cut fries with Boss sauce-their version of fry sauce. Food is cooked to order so it's not like Dick's. The wait is worth it. Did I mention Nutella milkshake, so good. Made with their soft serve so no annoying ice crystals. read more

I'd driven by Boss Drive In many times before I ever stopped to eat. My first couple of tries was more about getting ice cream cones and they're very good. While I stopped for ice cream and tried to figure out what might be good. The crinkle fries are very crunchy and very potatoey and very delicious. They also offer a fry sauce. I don't claim to know the recipe, but if I had to guess, I would say ketchup and mayonnaise and sriracha. The fry sauce is good. There's many flavors of burgers, I've had a couple and they're good. The service is always professional, grade A and fast. read more
