Family Drive-In - Kent (WA)

4 /5 Aisha Pleasant: This place has been here for many years. If you decide to stop here for dinner or lunch, you have to get the beef Hawaiian burger, which has a pineapple on it, so delicious. It’s one of the more sloppier options if you’re into eating with Out making a mess. The crinkle cut french fries are always a hit and you gotta try the deep fried mushrooms or the Wings. The owner is pretty cool. You can tell she’s about her business. Price is a bit on the high side I believe each meal is $15-$17 so to feed a family of three or more it’s gonna cost you pretty close to $100.

5 /5 Robert Izzett: My kid and I were headed to a Tacoma Starz game and were a little early, so we decided to look for something to eat. I am pleased that I made the turn onto the road they are located at. The cashier super friendly, polite and helpful with ordering as it was our first visit there. After we ordered he gave us a little notification device to let us know when the food was ready, being as seating is very limited we went back to the truck to wait. Withing 10-15 minutes our pager notified us our food was ready. Went in and the same gentleman was finishing making our drinks, and had individually bagged each combo (Big Cheese & Bacon Cheeseburger) And ensured everything was right being I had customized my toppings. Went out to some vacant picnic tables and let me tell you it was hot, fresh and did not disappoint. Potions were good sized and they even give a fry sauce that went really well with the crinkle cut fries. Highly recommend if youre in the area give them a try I know next time Im around there I will. Only sad thing was their milkshake machine was down, I did want to try a shake..... guess that gives me more reason to go back again!

5 /5 Camara Mark “Loafy Molasses”: I live near this establishment and Ive been by it dozens of times. It was my birthday, so I justified spending the money on a meal away from home. Leading off on the oddest foot; the building itself is very distinctly from another time and is somewhat dilapidated, but I found it charming enough to remember it as a fun destination. I give the atmosphere high marks for that, but it is not fine dining or even a comfy seat (it just might give some people a hit of nostalgia, like me). The Food was very nice, with large portions. It will hit the spot if youre tired of fast food burgers. The price is about what I would expect, and the way things are, may be competitive with the inflated prices that other chains charge for inferior products. I ordered the Bacon Cheese large burger and the Philly Super. I would say they went a little heavy on the cheese on the Philly (cant believe I said that), but it was still very enjoyable. The service was very kind and patient in taking our order, and gave us recommendations. I saw a few reviews saying otherwise, but they were very nice the day I was there. If you are ordering online, it may say that some things are out of stock, but double check with the staff. I was sad when I saw the milkshakes out of stock online, but was pleased when they said it was available.

2 /5 Joker Electric: I used to come to this place all the time growing up, brought my daughter here to enjoy what used to be the best burgers and milkshakes around. As you can see from the photos, no longer true. We waited 45 min in a run down part of Kent. My daughter loves mozzarella sticks and wouldn’t even finish these ones. You can tell the fryer oil has not been changed in some time, even the fries were bad. The burgers were not even close to 1/4 lbs or 1/2 lbs also they were burnt and I the lettuce was rotten on my mushroom burger. The only good thing was the banana shake my daughter had ordered. For close to $52 including tip I expected a whole lot more than this. Sad to say I think it’s time for this place to close shop.

2 /5 Brianna Savage: My family & I are new to the area so we were so excited to try this spot! The girls working front counter were extremely kind & helpful as we ordered. The food came out hot & didnt take too long. We ended up taking the food home. When we got home was when the disappointment began. The hamburgers were decent, nothing negative to report. Fries were decent & pretty good with the fry sauce. The chicken strip basket for $17.00 was the issue. Yes, chicken strip basket (5) & some fries at the bottom was $17. In the basket we received 2 decent sized strips & then 3 small nuggets. We opened up one of the strips & the meat was all orange..we werent sure why it looked like that when another strip had white meat. The only delicious mouth watering thing we ordered was the banana shake! Very tasty! Our whole meal consisted of a kids meal, big bacon cheese burger, small fries, LG banana shake. & the chicken strip basket which all equaled $57 with a $4 tip included.. If the business reads this, Id suggest lowering the chicken strip prices.
