    King Burger, French Fries, Small Pepsi
    Selvin T.

    I finally tried the King Burger at Frosty King and honestly... it lives up to the hype. What makes it so good is how fresh and old-school everything tastes. The burger isn't one of those fast-food ones that's been sitting around--it tastes like it's made right when you order it, hot and juicy with that classic grill flavor. A lot of people mention that "made-to-order" feel and unique flavor you just don't get from big chains . The bun is soft but holds everything together perfectly, and the meat has that slightly crispy edge while still being juicy inside. The toppings are simple but hit--nothing fancy, just done right. It's one of those burgers where every bite actually tastes balanced instead of messy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, the vibe of the place adds to it. It's got that old-school, local burger stand feel, like stepping back in time, which makes the food hit even harder[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . And for the price, it's honestly a steal compared to most spots now. If you're tired of generic fast food and want something that actually tastes real, the King Burger here is . Definitely one of the best lowkey burger spots in Richmond.

    Frosty king is a great mom n pop shop, I much rather support this establishment than a chain. the service was so worth it, quick, fresh and delicious they have shakes by the time we went (closer to 7pm on a Friday) but they were fast, and it was DELICIOUS

    They have the best burgers n fries, one order of fries feeds 2 people. Everything is cooked fresh. Their signature thousand Island dressing makes the burger tastes even better..Prices are affordable a burger combo is $10+

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just a classic, perfect cheese burger and piping HOT crab seasoned fries and sugary soda sold from a 1960's era shack for about $10.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dammit. I loved it.

    the food is consistently good and Love to support local businesses in Richmond. Specially, in this community we're good food is hard to find.

    Grilled chicken sandwich

    I've been coming here for years, and they have never disappointed me. The food is delicious and the service is amazing.

    They sure know how to fry stuff. Deep fried burrito, chicken sandwich, and french fries are top notch. Burger ain't bad either. Plus during the rain the location is vintage noir.

We remembered how good the hoagies were, and they did not disappoint. This time we ordered the Teriyaki Beef Hoagies, which were delicious and packed with flavor.

We also tried the pineapple shakes, which had just the right balance of sweetness and pineapple flavor. The restaurant is order-and-pickup style, making it a quick and easy stop for a great meal. We're glad we came back and will definitely be visiting more often. Highly recommended!

Standard order comes with Miracle Whip, I was too chicken to try it and went with regular mayonnaise instead. I'm willing to come back and give Miracle Whip a try, but if I comeback, I'm definitely getting a double burger or trying a Phila Burger. 4.1/5 Garlic fries were ok. Order came with a dollop of minced garlic, would have preferred if it had been tossed for a more even coating. 3.3/5 The absolute highlight of this visit was the service. Being my first visit, the cashier was incredibly patient and took extra time to go through the menu with me and giving recommendations. But this was not an isolated incident. In the short 10 minutes I was there, I watched as this cashier welcome back a old regular, give a child a small to-go cup of ice cream, and patiently work with a customer as they were experiencing technical payment difficulties. Phila Burger is shining light of what a local, small business should be in a community. I will gladly be returning.

The patties have that unmistakable smoky char, the kind you can literally smell as soon as you step into the parking lot. It's the kind of aroma that immediately tells you that you made the right choice. This definitely isn't a spot for the health-conscious, but that's part of the appeal. Everything feels unapologetically indulgent. You can hear the constant sizzle from the grill and the bubbling rush of oil when a fresh batch of fries hits the fryer, it adds to the whole, old-school burger joint experience. And don't skip the pineapple milkshake. It's surprisingly good, with small chunks of pineapple throughout that give it real texture instead of just flavoring. Every now and then you get a bright pop of acidity and sweetness that cuts through the richness, which makes it a lot more interesting than your typical shake.

Parking will be on neighborhood streets and was not too hard to find. Stepping in we immediately noticed that mural arts on the wall. Ordering can be at the register or via an electronic kiosk. They have a lot of interesting smash burger options, including a Trompo featuring Al Pastor. We got the Fat Boi, Trompo, and Highway Style fries. We waited longer than we expected, but good thing they have many monitors so we watched the World Cup while waiting for our food. When the food came, they were an impressive sight. The burgers were loaded and dripping with grease. My son liked his Fat Boi, but I thought the Al Pastor in the Trompo was a bit bland. The Trompo was also so greasy that grease was running down my hand and forearm while I am eating it, and I can feel my arteries hardening already! The Highway Style fries were decent. A smash patty laid between two layers of fries and then topped with melted cheese. It was decadent but a guilty pleasure. The kids gave the place 7-7.5 out of 10 and they said they would come back. For myself, probably not as the food was just too heavy for me.

I liked how the salad balanced against the richness of the spices in the chicken and rice. Their sauces pair nicely with the food as well, making each bite even more full of flavor. Don't let the simple exterior fool you. There is magic and smells that waft behind that takeaway window. Looking forward to ordering their grilled chicken when I have a bit more time.

I got my order and left, got home and realized the burrito wasn't there. I went all the way back and they said "we refunded the burrito, it's only served for breakfast" First off the menu does not say this. If it's only served during a certain part of the day THEN SAY IT ON THE MENU. Second, no one thought of letting anyone know it was refunded. Just did and went on about their day of goofing off. The people at the store there couldn't give a flying yahoo when I voiced my displeasure. The last couple times we've been here the service was almost non-existent and the orders are always messed up. And this was the last time. Management will read this and just laugh. They could not care at all. Time for poorly run businesses like this to be done.

What I don't understand is why I'm charged an additional $2.50 for the lettuce wrap when I'm not even getting the bun. If you're taking something away, what's the justification for adding an extra charge? I could understand a modest upcharge, but $2.50 for a few leaves of lettuce is hard to justify. I can buy an entire head of lettuce for about that price. What bothered me even more was that no one mentioned the charge when I placed my order. It wasn't until I picked up my food and saw the receipt that I realized I had been charged extra. Customers deserve to know about additional charges before they order, not after the fact. When I politely asked why there was a $2.50 charge, the employee simply looked at me and said, "I don't know." There was no explanation, no offer to ask someone else, and no attempt to address a perfectly reasonable question. That level of customer service was just as disappointing as the surprise charge. The burger was excellent, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. At this point, I don't plan on coming back. Or maybe I'll just bring my own lettuce next time. Better yet, just give me the burger without the bun, and I'll wrap the damn thing myself when I get home.
