    Kids burger with fries and a vanilla shake.
    Yvonne V.

    What cool little burger bus! My family has been on a burger kick lately and so we popped in to try Lucky's. First of all, the food options are very straight forward but everything is amazing. I'm always impressed when there are meatless options, and tasty ones at that. Bonus points from my kids for the yummy shakes. Even the dipping sauces for the fries were excellent. The cashier was very warm and friendly advising us how to listen for our order on the bus. Lastly, the bus is what makes this place. Super clean and well appointed on the inside. Giving all the 50's vibes. LOVE

    I don't know why I waited so long to try Lucky's but now I don't want to wait for the next time I decide to crave a burger. Love the old school feel of a drive in! Customer service was exceptional and wait time (even with the parking lot full) was less than 5 mins. I ordered The Lucky with extra pickles (because I can lol) and a speciality shake (it was cookies and cream with a cute name). The Lucky is just what you expect beefy, soft but crisp bun and generous toppings. I don't think I could shove it in my mouth fast enough. So good! The shake was perfect thickness & one of the best I've ever consumed.

    Very friendly staff. Didn't have to wait too long for our food. The fries look and taste great! Burgers good too. Not too big not too heavy, lettuce was a little wet but not a deal breaker or anything.

    Luck burger with jalapeño, fries, chili and fry sauce!

    Stopped in for a quick to-go order and was pleasantly surprised! Service was fast, and everything tasted fresh. I ordered the Lucky burger with jalapeños, a side of fries, and some chili. The burger was flavorful with just the right kick, and the fries were hot and crispy. The chili could've used a bit more salt, but that was an easy fix. Overall, a solid experience--can't wait to go back!

    Cute, retro burger drive inn with two seating area - open, umbrella covered picnic tables to the right or a climate controlled bus. Service was quick and easy. The burgers were a little pricey and okay. We ordered the Lucky burger and Double Lucky burger. The buns were brioche style which is nice but were a little messy to eat. The burgers were loaded with plenty of pickles, shredded lettuce, chopped onion, and sauce. There was too much sauce on my burger for my taste and it made the bun soggy. The fries were very crispy and a little salty.

    Just fantastic, the best (priced) burger, fry, and shake I've ever had the privilege to eat. Definitely my go to spot in Tacoma.

    Shake of the month! (March 2024)

    OOOOH yes. Local option with all the garbage food vibes my body needs sometimes. We're talking burgers made right with homemade pickles, milkshakes with local ingredients, fries done the right way with the little crispy edges, and a chili dog so heavy with chili it broke my friends fork. I was worried when my friends talked me into meeting at a drive in on a rainy day, but the bus outside of the burger shack is cozier than some restaurants I've been in!!!! Great break stop when you're not in the mood to deal with traffic, only 8 minutes off i5 it's a no brainer. Got options for everyone. OH and staff was sweet & fast too! Order and they call your name over the speaker (can hear it in and out of the bus)

    Fun looking retro 50s place. Includes a old bus with booths to eat in! Unfortunately my burger was so salty I could barely eat it. Otherwise I had fun.

    mushroom and swiss burger
    Jon D.

    It was okay. I'm surprised a place like this doesn't make smash burgers. The patties were pale and blah. No sear, no flavor. I had the mushroom and swiss burger which was saved by the garlic aioli. I tried my kids' plain cheeseburger and was definitely underwhelmed. Still a cool location. Happy I tried it, but not returning.

    such amazing weather to enjoy a ranch bacon burger, and there valentine's day special burger! so yummy
    Lilyana C.

    what perfect weather it was to stop at lucky's while in town :) service was fast and even tried there new valentine's day special burger YUM

    I saw that Burger Seoul got an actual sit-down location and I have been wanting to stop by to check…read morethem out and the new items on their menu as well. I saw that they have hwachaeji for a limited time so I was motivated to stop by. My boyfriend, little brother, our two dogs and I got to the location around 6ish and we saw they had a couple outdoor benches. We also saw they have a pick up window which I thought was pretty neat. My boyfriend and I decided to go inside to order while my little brother and our dogs waited for us outside. They have a lot of seating inside, a well-maintained bathroom, a water station, a spot to open bottled drinks and more. You order through a kiosk as my boyfriend and I stood at the ordering spot and they seemed too busy to notice us. Once we placed our order, we saw how efficient the workers were at getting orders made. They were quite busy when we arrived and even afterwards as there was people coming in to order or pick up orders. We ordered the Saeuji, Seoul Burger, Bulgogiger, Biscoff Shake, Hwachaeji, Fanta, garlic French fries, and french fries. The food and drinks were all so good, but we all agreed that the Saeuji was the best of the three. The Biscoff Shake was refreshing and smooth and I really enjoyed the modern twist on hwachaeji.

    ​Stopped by Burger Soul in Tacoma for lunch with my husband after my daughter recommended it to us,…read moreand it completely exceeded our expectations! ​Parking was convenient right in front of the shop. Ordering was super easy and fast using the touch-screen kiosk at the counter. Their menu notes that all burgers are made to order with 100% NW fresh beef. ​We chose to sit at the outdoor patio tables, which was lovely, but the indoor seating and restrooms were also spotlessly clean. ​We shared two items: the Seoul Burger and the Fire Soul, along with a side of Sweet Potato Fries. *​Seoul Burger: Cooked to a perfect medium as requested, juicy, and dynamic in flavor. *​Fire Soul: Absolutely incredible! It's packed generously with tender, marinated grilled sliced Korean pork. The sweet and spicy sauce paired perfectly with the crisp pickled cucumber, giving each bite an amazing pop of flavor. ​Hands down, these are the best burgers we've had recently. Wonderful Korean-American fusion! ​To top it off, the staff checked in on us to ask how we enjoyed the food, which was such a thoughtful and pleasant touch. Can't wait to come back next time to try the Avoca Soul or Super Bulgogi! Highly recommended!

    We just love Out and About Burgers…read more Juicy burgers, savory onion rings, bomb ranch, and sweet seasonal shakes makes this one of our go to places. Drive thru only but don't worry, the line moves fast and the food is always worth the wait.

    First off, I'd just like to say that the location is kind of a nightmare. The drive-thru setup is…read morepretty confusing. It's a really tiny little trailer, so I understand they're working with limited space, but having cars loop around in what feels like a figure-eight can be chaotic. People get impatient, start honking, and it's easy to accidentally cut someone off without realizing it. They're just burgers, people--everyone needs to relax a little! That said, despite how busy it was, the line moved surprisingly fast. I ordered a double cheeseburger with everything, a side of onion rings, and a black raspberry shake. The shake was fantastic--definitely a highlight of the meal. The burger was also really good: flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. The only disappointment was the onion rings. They were incredibly greasy--so much so that they actually upset my stomach. I'm not sure if that's typical, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Next time I'd give the fries a try instead. One thing that really stood out was the pricing. It's refreshing to find a place that still offers fair prices when it feels like everything else costs an arm and a leg these days. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The burger and shake were worth it, and as long as I skip the onion rings, I think it'll be a solid meal.
