    We were in the area at lunchtime and decided to try Dexter's. It was pretty quiet when we arrived but got busy soon after. The burgers were great, fries fantastic. The staff was friendly and efficient, the seating area was clean and nothing fancy, just right for a drive-in. We found the prices to be really good, less than expected based on other similar places, so overall good value.

    Good food and worth the wait. It's by the bay. There are birds in the parking lot like HEY OH WHAT UP IM A BIRD IN PARKING LOT and this guy and this girl are working here they're like "phone order number 28" but nobody came up to get the order until somebody did. She was kinda a nasty Karen looking lady and she was just sorta rude but I guess that's ok. Then she left and we were all happy and then the birds were like OH HELL WE BIRD THO and sometimes really weird political demonstrations happen on the corner near here but this weird sicko with a Kermit puppet on his hand and a stupid sign, he wasn't there so that's good So here's a picture of the pillar and brick work outside of the order window I like it because it's good to lean against and be like right there. All the high school students come here too but that's fine too. They think I'm fly and tell me I have a nice hoodie on like thx guys you're fly too So definitely make sure to come here whenever you can and bask in the hamburgerness. I do.

    Says it's open until 7 everywhere else, never been here before.

    Didn't realize they closed early today because we never came here before. As my son tries to open the door, the employee/owner comes to the door quickly and locks the door on him real quick! Didn't even say anything to him or me and then turned their back to us, avoiding all eye contact. Completely rude. Another family is sitting inside eating. We live like 8 minutes away from here. We won't be eating here in the future.

    This is how I spent my summers: french fries dipped in strawberry milkshake. And it was glorious and my metabolism could keep up with it.

    Good food for a decent price. You can get a shake with the combos which is a plus. They don't have fry sauce but still really great food.

    Every Rating should be 5 stars…read more I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Burger, and it was exceptional. The beef was perfectly seasoned and juicy, but the real standout was the quality of the toppings. The bacon was thick-cut and crispy, providing that essential smoky crunch without overpowering the sharp, melted cheddar. Everything is served on a fresh bun that actually holds up to the last bite. The Fries: You can't skip the sides here. The fries were hot, golden, and seasoned to perfection--exactly what you want to pair with a heavy hitter like the Bacon Cheddar. The Vibe: The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, making it the perfect spot whether you're a local or just passing through the harbor. The service was prompt and friendly, even during the lunch rush. Final Verdict: It's rare to find a place that nails the "gourmet" aspect without losing the soul of a classic burger. If you are in Gig Harbor, this is a mandatory stop. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!

The food is indulgent, satisfying, and clearly crafted with quality in mind, making it a strong contender for a go-to burger spot. That said, the pricing is hard to ignore. Spending over $80 for three meals feels steep, even considering the quality. Still, the flavor and execution make it an experience -- one best enjoyed when you're willing to splurge.
