Best chili cheese hot dog I've had! My husband and I cruised by after a long day of hiking on a Saturday. Considering we arrived right at the beginning of the dinner hour, we beat the rush and scored a good table outside. I ordered the chili cheese hot dog with mustard and onions, a side of fries, and a blackberry lemonade. My husband had the mushroom Swiss burger. The chili is delicious! It's an all-meat chili, no beans and it was flavorful. Definitely recommend scooping your fries in the chili, too. That chili is worth scraping the plate for every last bite, which I did. The lemonade was a refreshing option other than a soda pop. There is also a parked bus with "indoor" seating. It's a cool throwback vibe with great food. read more

Burger patty is pretty good size. Moist and not dry. Chili has a little kick but tasty. Actually probably would be good for a chili burger. It's a little pricier than other burger joints but the burgers are visibly better quality. Pickles are crunchy and tomato is a nice thick slice. They also have some different sauce options. My favorite was the spicy ketchup. If you're in the area I suggest trying this place out. read more

Milkshakes and their French fries my fellow Yelp friends are !!! Hands down my favorite place for them. The burgers are good, the bus is awesome especially to bring your family to for the experience. The staff is always friendly and easy to strike a conversation with. The parking lot is finally fixed so there is plenty of space and the easy wheelchair accessible access is GREAT!! Clean, easy, and good!! Go check it out read more

Came here on a whim because the stores bus caught my eye. If you haven't been here, this location is off 136th St S and Pacific Ave, right across Big Foot Java. The bus I am talking about is a 1955 Burger Bus you can actually dine in and has AC. The set up is cute as the bus is to your left when you're in front of the store. And on the right side of the store, there's some outdoor seating if you want to eat here. There's no place to eat inside the actual restaurant itself as they only cook and take orders there. This place kinda reminds me of Frugals back in the day. The items of course are made to order, so depending on how busy, you may have to wait a little. I ended up getting the Lucky single meal with upgraded to an oreo shake. The burger itself was okay. I had ordered some ranches on the side, but I'm not sure if it was just an off day, but it was so salty, I ended up throwing it out. And i love ranch, so i was sad. But the oreo shake was thickkk and good. The staff was super chill and nice! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

My partner and I are attempting to try each and every locally-owned restaurant that serves a burger, shake and fries. This was our first trip to Lucky's and we were sufficiently impressed to not strike it from our 'must return' list. The hamburger was generous albeit patty extended beyond the bun. Whom of you appreciates not having to open the bun to confirm there is a hamburger patty present. The French fries were quite good and possibly the highlight of this our first visit. Our shakes were super thick although to us Lucky's seemed to skimp on the chocolate syrup, similar to Frisko Freeze and Lefty's. We've decided to take a bottle of chocolate syrup on future trips much like I take a small bottle of Tapatio sauce to Me can restaurants. The service was efficient and pleasant. We enjoyed eating on the bus. read more

Amazing shakes, food, service. The milkshake options are pretty unlimited the people and the food is always amazing

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. read more

Fast, hot, and delicious .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to Luckys after work this afternoon around 5pm. I ordered a bacon ranch burger, large fries w/fry sauce and a milkshake. Normally the burgers are great, fries are incredible.... But tonight I got home, half the burger was missing, it was just bun, lettuce and ranch, the fry sauce was super salty, lumpy, and tasted old. Very frustrating that I paid $15 for this and half my burger or dinner was missing. The fries by themselves were still good and the milkshake was fantastic. I don't know if there's a new cook, but I didn't recognize anyone there today. I'm probably going to find a new burger place. I hear Habit burger is off the hook in university place. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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) read more

I've been here multiple times and its good every single time! Everyone is so sweet here and the quality of food is amazing! The double lucky, bacon bbq, or bacon ranch is really good and the fries are AMAZING! The shakes are also amazing I always get the strawberry banana. The blackberry i believe is also delicious. The bus to sit in there is so cute and the aesthetic is so retro and its just nice. I look forward to coming again soon! read more

The best burger I've had in a long time. The fries are pretty good, shakes & malts are great. Reasonable prices & pretty quick service. With no indoor dining, seating options are limited. There are just a few outdoor picnic tables & several spots to sit inside a converted city bus. read more

Great experience. Beautiful approach. Fantastic service. Easy to read menu. Reasonable prices. Fries (5/5), perfect crispness, fluffy interior, good flavor. Lavender lemonade (5/5) if you like the lavender flavor, not overpowering, perfect balance of sweet sour and lavender. Double bacon BBQ Burger (5/5), juicy, meaty, a little bit of char, veggies feel fresh, BBQ sauce sweet/tangy and not overwhelming. Chili dog (1/5) simply not good or satisfying in any way, drenched and drowning in weird tasting chili without enough cheese or anything else to taste anything but bad chili. Didn't finish it and left a little hungry. Peanut butter jelly cookie (4/5) very good cookie just doesn't have that 5/5 wow factor. Jelly is not overpowering. Strong PB Flavor. All four house sauces on point (5/5) Overall an amazing experience. Loved the cute old school comforting vibe and atmosphere. The bus seating is so much fun. 5/5 experience, just wouldn't order the chili dog again. Will definitely be back in the future! If you take the chili dog out of the equation, easy 5/5. As Lucky's is a burger and dog place, we have to settle on a 4/5. read more

The service was fast, the food was great, and the bus was an amazing spot to eat in. No complaints, so I'd definitely recommend eating here

Was expecting a basic diner/fast food burger with cheap bun and thrown together messy burger but was blown away. The beautifully toasted bun with thick cut pickles, melted cheddar and crispy lettuce and seasoned beef patties were perfection. It is quick service but the service itself from the front staff was great. The place looked very clean and kept. Definitely worth a drive. read more

Wasn't the best. The pickles are THICK slices, their sauce on the burger is a little odd. Nothing super special to write home about. The fries and service was good tho. I won't be back. read more

Best burgers. Fries are good and not greasy. The customer service is 10 stars! Friendly and made a small wait for a sandwich right for us.

My husband and I always have a great experience here. We love the burgers and the fries are to die for!!

The food is first rate. Fresh burgers with a ton of options. It's been a long time since I've been there. But it's because I really love a couple other places better. read more

Service definitely needs improvement never have I ever been treated so horribly and the the food was just bland and the ambiance well there wasn' any. read more

This looks questionable when you drive by, but this is a great burger, fries and shake for $15. You order at the window and your food is made fresh. You can wait in your car OR you can hang out on the bus/diner. There is a/c and heat. They call your name over the radio so don't worry. Such a great place in Parkland. read more

Lucky's Drive In - This is their basic burger "Lucky Burger" - Burgers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I've driven by Lucky Drive-In for the past year and a half, yet I've still never eaten there. After reading a few reviews, I decided to give it a shot for myself. Funny that it's called a drive-in when you have to get out of your car and walk up to the counter to place an order. Pardon my ignorance, that would be a "Drive-through" in lieu of a "Drive-In" haha but whatever; I was curious so I went there. I had the veggie burger and rated it a 3. It was okay. It was actually pretty good. The wait didn't seem too long to me, either. Very good customer service. I really wanted to try the Lucky Bus, but I had to rush off to an appointment, so I didn't have time to get the shakes and fries. Maybe next time I'll combine the food and bus for hopefully a cinematic experience. However, I think they're worth a try! read more

A true GEM! I just recently move to Tacoma/ Parkland area and it hasn't been the greatest experience. BUT then there is Lucky's. My kids LOVE it and everytime we pass I hear "ooooh Luckys". Their cherry coke is made by them! Which is my favorite! Their fries are battered lightly and seasoned, so delicious, and the portion is HUGE. The burgers are,of course, amazing and everything is cut fresh and made fresh. There always seems to be a seasonal item, I haven't given those a try but I'm sure they don't disappoint. I would reccomend them, and have, to anyone who wants a good burger meal! Plus they have the cutest burger bus and the line moves quickly, if that has ever stopped you. Highly reccomend you give it a try! read more

First time here, I ordered the Swiss mushroom burger w/a Oreo shake. It was so delicious, the fries were so good. The wait was long but it didn't bother me. I'm coming back!! read more

ALWAYS A TREAT. I no longer live in the area but whenever I'm within 15 minutes of here I always make It a point to come by. The burgers are simple but lacking flavor. I get the lucky combo with no special sauce, add ketchup and mustard. Comes with picked onions and lettuce. The fries are my absolute favorite and I always dip them I'm their ranch which is homemade. It's on the thicker side so if this isn't your thing, skip It. I can never decide what to drink because their flavored Lemonades are delicious but so are the milkshakes-- so do what your heart feels read more

Driven by many times but never stopped in. We were craving burgers though and wanted to try something new. At first, we were thinking we would have to eat in the car because it was raining out. Then we saw the bus. It was warm and inviting with music to listen to while we waited. We could hear them call our name there too so we didn't have to stand outside. Our daughter had a great time "driving" while we waited for our food. The adults got burgers and fries and the kids got hot dogs. The burgers, fries and shakes were all great! Will be back soon! read more
