    Cheese Charburger on the left Wally Whopper on the right
    Paige S.

    We stumbled upon this place on a drive one day and finally came back to try it. This is a drive-in style burger joint where you can park and order at the stall or go inside and eat there. Very old school and retro but also very cute. The staff brought the food out pretty quickly (within 15 minutes) which was 45 minutes before closing. All of the food was great, we would happily come back. 5/5

    Chili Charburger with Cheese & Onion

    Drove past this location, a billion and one times. Finally had the time and appetite to make my way to Wally's. I ordered the cheese burger with grilled onions and also the bacon cheeseburger with fries and taters. The burgers were soooo good but the fries were okay. They are beer battered. Not my favorite. The taters were good - who can go wrong with a tater tot. Service was okay. Ambiance was okay - definitely 1950s drive in. The vibe was not welcoming for us.

    Was visiting Enumclaw/Buckley for the first time not too long ago, and I thought Wally's Drive-In would be a great place to check out since it fit the vibes of the adventure. My friend and I decided to dine in, so we both got some burgers and fries. I ordered the Wally Whopper which came with two patties, slices of American cheese and pieces of bacon, and some veggies between brioche buns. Ah man, the first few bites were SO GOOD. It tastes like how burgers should always be. But over time as I kept eating, I got a little tired of eating it. Maybe it was just too much for me, perhaps a single patty would have done me better. The fries were also great, thick cut and every bite was satisfying. Now THAT is something I can't get sick of. The house sauce with the fries also paired well together. Not the kind of burger place I would keep coming back to if it was near me, but if I am in the area I would consider revisiting.

    Let's start first with the atmosphere, love it. This is exactly the kind of old school diner that I love. They get bonus points for staying true to that vibe. Next we can talk about the excellent service the staff here provide, they are friendly and seem to really care about their customers. Unfortunately the food is where it fell short for me. The rodeo burger was great, cheese and saucy, just the way it should be. However, the fried chicken sandwich was bland, had no flavor... the breading needed seasoning for sure, and that bland chicken ruined the whole sandwich for me. The onion rings were better than average, as it didn't have the stringy stuff that makes you pull out the whole onion when you bite in, good for them on that... but again the batter was sorta bland. Lastly was Wally's sauce, let's talk about this for a minute.... I have a bone to pick with these places, everyone claiming to have their secret sauce... Normas, Big Tom's, Bob's, Frisko Freeze, Shake Shake Shake... I could go on.... ITS ALWAYS THE SAME SAUCE. Some variation of mayo, ketchup, mustard, and relish, Worcestershire, and garlic powder. Can we please come together and just make this known so they stop charging us extra for the secret sauce. Please, we don't get charged for ketchup, or mustard or mayo, it's not a secret, everybody has it... Ok rant over... Anyway go here, it's reasonably priced, friendly, cool vibe... Just don't get the bland breaded stuff.

    Came back and I still stand by my original comments. Burgers were ok... not a fan of the fries. Service is good.

    Always good! Only stop by on the way to/from Mt Rainier so not too often. Real old-fashioned drive-in food & ambiance. Got the Wally Whopper, as listed, fries, and a Root Beer shake. (Almost) too much food! Actually saved some for when I got home to Newcastle.

    Menu as of December 2025. Always a good time at Wally's drive in. This might be one of a very few places you can get a peanut butter MALT shake. Yum!

    My family of four ate here after hiking at Mount Rainier National Park, and it hit the spot! The burgers are great, I highly recommend the milkshakes, and the atmosphere was great! It was an old-school vibe that made my parents nostalgic. My mom forgot her fish didn't come with fries, so she went inside and told us she had just forgotten to order them. A waitress came out with an order of fries because she felt bad. Great fries too!

    Fun old timey menu box that you order from and they bring your food out!

    We did the lunch all you can eat sushi, sushi is very fresh and tasty. You have to sit at the bar…read morefor the all you can eat so it can be just a hair slow as you can only order 1 sushi roll at a time and the prepares work both the counter and dinning room. There was 4 of us and we tried a few different rolls and all were very good. Definitely recommended this restaurant.

    Decided to check this place out before a show at White River and I've heard adds for this in 99.9…read morefor I don't know how long now. All I can say to Steve Miggs is there's a lot left to be desired there. The menu is very large, I guess like any Sushi restaurant. Our server was decent, but probably could have been a little better since we were pretty much the only people there. The edamame and gyozas that we started with were ok. Not sure what sauce came with the gyozas, but it was weird. Edamame had a healthy amount of salt on it. We ordered 3 rolls, this is where I guess for me the quality was kind of meh. Each sushi roll had a hefty amount of rice compared to toppings and innards. They do offer all you can eat at times and I guess this is how they fill you up. It's also very strange that they put all of the sushi on one plate. Not one roll that we ordered really stuck out either. I couldn't pick a favorite as they were all middle of the road. There also didn't seem to be a whole lot of variety in fish. The chicken karange however was very good. Perfectly cooked and very juicy. I'm glad we finally got to try this place, but this also solidifies why we don't try many different sushi places.

    If I could give this restaurant with their current management a zero, I would.This place lacks…read moreservice, or at least they did with me and my friend. Stopped by to get some food with my buddy. We were seated for about 15 minutes before anybody even approached us or brought us water which was odd because the guy that came in solo after us, got his order taken and his food in front of him by the time we left after a total of waiting about 25 minutes. The gal dropping off the chips and water scurried back into their service station after taking so long, and didn't take the time to ask us for beverages so that's when I drew the line and we got up and left because I wasn't there to burn up my afternoon on waiting. We were about the 5th table there so there was no excuse to be ignored for that long , this place sucks since Alvaro left, I promise you he wouldn't have wasted my time like that. After all this went down, we hit up Ranchito at the hotel to spend our money and time where it's respected and appreciated.
