    Food is really good. Every burger comes with fries and they are hand cut. Fry sauce is a must. I would skip The ranch. Shakes are fab just expect a wait sometimes it gets a bit busy.

    Front entrance to Burger Express.

    My office moved to Federal Way outside the Seattle area. Burger express has been around for 40 years, has won many local awards for burger of the year, and has a drive through. I normally have lunch here and the front desk person always remembers my order with a smile and the staff is eager to please the customers. The space still has the old style character from when it was first opened. During lunch, the place is always packed. Now, I don't eat beef and I always get the prime breast chicken with onion, pickles, cheddar cheese, grilled jalapeños , tomatoes , and mustard. Most burgers come with French fries that are wonderful and the bun is great. I had to stop eating the fries and the bun because I was falling asleep at work. Now the catch here is that most burger places that serve chicken tend to taste like chicken cooked with beef flavor - not at burger express. The chicken tastes like charbroiled chicken without the beef aftertaste. So now I have the chicken burger that looks like more of a salad. They always are accommodating and every time, produces a nice burger that I completely enjoy. That and a bag of potato chips is enough to be filling and keep me awake at work. Cheers to burger express. The only thing I wished they would consider is the option to have red onions. That would take this burger to the next level.

    Every time I have came here the food has been delicious! I love all of the options and the customer service has been really nice. Today we decided to sit in the ambiance is clean and chill. They have a tv on and music playing in the background. One of our favorite places to come!

    Mushroom Burger

    I finally tried Burger Express after all these years. I got the mushroom burger and some fries with the special sauce. I was confused when I ordered the sauce because the one I ordered was for the burgers he explained so he helped me get it right. The burger was tasty and huge and just enough cheese and mushrooms on it. The fries I could live without, but that's just not my style of fries so I can't hold it against them. The sauce did make them more flavorful for me though. I would definitely try them again.

    Good decent burgers! Perfectly crispy fried rings! French fry's are not bad and not too oily IMO! Shakes are creamy with pieces of real fruit! Fry sauce 10/10! Overall, a good place for a burger hankering.

    I like this place. Inside and outside seating. Clean and lots of room. Juke box on floor and several wall mounted but they are for looks only. Good service. Burgers were cooked right. No complaints. Will be back

    Cheese burger

    Came in for dinner and ordered two burgers and a milk shake. The burgers, the cheeseburger and BBQ burger were around $12 to $13 bucks and tasted pretty good. It came with a big pile of delicious fries. They do charge extra for sauce i.e. ranch. The milk shake was very thick and delicious. The interior was clean, has nostalgic decor and was comfortable. The cashier was very nice and friendly. They also have a drive thru if you want to grab it to go. Overall, it's a decent place to grab a burger.

    The burgers, fries, and shakes are all amazing. It has that hole in the wall feel. It is pricey; but then again it's not an everyday meal

He got the spicy chicken teriyaki, and I decided (against my better judgment) to try something different and ordered the cheesesteak instead of one of their burgers--which I already know are really good. I should've just stuck with that. The cheesesteak was okay. The meat was tender and the flavor wasn't bad, but it was really dry. By the time I got home, I had to add my own condiments just to make it more enjoyable. It just felt like something was missing. My husband wasn't impressed with the teriyaki either. I didn't try it myself, but he said it wasn't the best he's had and probably wouldn't order it from here again. One highlight though--the peanut butter banana milkshake was delicious. Their milkshakes are definitely a win. Overall, I'd say this place is still worth it, but stick to the burgers--they're what they do best.

They no longer put onions on the burger, instead you get a slop in a 2 oz container. The fries were all mushy, this can be from dropping the fries too early when the oil isn't hot enough. I wasn't able to eat them at all. The burgers themselves had no flavor, no salt or pepper, just patty thrown down, and overcooked. It seems very sloppy and lazy. The price increase is not worth it, I recommend going to the Seattle location if you want to enjoy this meal.

I decided to get the deluxe burger with a side of onions and fries. It seemed like they have a bunch of burgers and fries already made, as you'll get your order immediately after you pay. That also probably means no customizations, although I didn't try myself. The burger was quite juicy but nothing spectacular. I was not expecting the onions to be diced and put into a small container, which makes it hard to use. The fries were a good consistency for my liking. Not too soft, not too crispy. I did expect there to be more but it was quite a small portion. I also got a scoop of mint chocolate chip on a cone, which was super satisfying. The scoop was quite large, especially for the price. I'm glad I tried Dick's at least once but I definitely think there are better burger fast food places.

My little brother wanted to buy my boyfriend a birthday meal since he was busy working and not able to do a full birthday celebration. I got the Hawaiian burger meal and catfish burger, my boyfriend got their grilled onions burger meal and grilled chicken burger, and my brother got their spicy chicken burger meal and a side order of their curly fries and onion rings. When we arrived, we were told for our fountain drinks for our meal that we could chose whatever we wanted from their fridge as their machine was broken. The food took a few more minutes than the estimated time but it was fine as they got everything correct and it gave me time to ask my brother what he wanted for his drink. The service here seemed friendly and professional as they were very good about informing us when we told them that we were picking up an order and to all those who came after us. The store seems small outside but they had quite a bit of seating and tables for those who wanted to dine in. The decor is retro and gives very much a classic diner vibe which I enjoy. The food here was very tasty! The fries, curly fries and onion rings were delicious and went well with the fry sauce they provide here. The burgers were cooked to perfection! My little brother really enjoyed their spicy chicken burger as being the perfect level of spiciness. I really loved the catfish burger too, it wasn't too thin or thick. Definitely going to have to frequent here whenever we're feeling for burgers or their other offerings!

I have celiac and usually have no problem ordering alternatives to get around this and avoid gluten, this time even though the waitress made note and noted to avoid all cross contamination the cook put my burger on a bun that was gluten, when I said something because server said something about the bun being gluten even though the allergy alert flag was in the burger I asked for it to be fixed, she returned immediately with the correct one, however I believe this was because cook or preparation person just moved it all to a gluten free bun, causing cross contamination. By the time I was leaving the place I became nauseous and very bloated! They comped the one burger but this takes me weeks to recover from! Also today we went for my mothers birthday, I mentioned that but even though the waitress was nice she paid less and less attention later in meal and no one brought the birthday ice cream, usually there's some type of complimentary birthday dessert brought in. I also ordered the nacho appetizer and the quality was way down, the chips break when you pick the up and the dip was not that good and got thicker by the minute!! I'm not sure we will return much anymore, the quality and sizes going down along with the fact I was cross contaminated kinda ruined mother's birthday experience and my appetite for Red Robin. Sad to see it going down in quality too, it was one of our favorite places alongside great staff!

The patties are thick 1/2 pounders and are cooked to perfection. We usually split a burger because they're so huge! The Seoul sauce is fantastic and they come with cheddar cheese and are served on a brioche bun. They have other variations of burgers, including the Bulgogi burger made with grilled ribeye, Seoul X with fire soul meat, the Soul burger which is a Korean grilled pork butt, and more. They have great fries, including garlic fries. Service: there is often a line because the food is great! But the folks manning the grill are fast without sacrificing quality. Service is friendly & efficient. They also have smash burgers, but we haven't tried them. The shakes are great and they make delicious pickles. Ambience: whenever we have been here, or was a food truck located in the parking lot of a mini-market. When we have eaten here before, they had no tables, so it was a bit messy in the car. We have been traveling for awhile, so it's been awhile since we ate here. It now looks like they may have a building and some outside seating. Time to go back!
