45 Best Burger Restaurants in Tacoma

“Come and try some of the BEST burgers in Tacoma! Do not sleep on their smash burger version, stunning and tasty. The OG burgers still slay and the new items look amazing! Just eat HERE!“

“A big shoutout to Duke's Seafood Restaurant for their incredibly generous gift of gift certificates for our amazing teachers at Browns Point Elementary School! Your kindness truly helps us show how much we appreciate the hard work and dedication of our fantastic educators. We feel so lucky to have such a thoughtful partner in our community—thank you for making a difference!“

“My husband and I both got the 12 Burger. Soo delicious! The PB and jelly on the burger, with bacon and cheese. Best combo ever!! Only thing I would improve on was more jam. Asked for more, little too late, burger was 75% gone but was accommodated nonetheless. Def made a big improvement, even though it was delicious anyway. Cooked perfectly, as well. The fries were crisp and the garlic aioli was tasty! The service was friendly and efficient! Def will be back!!“

“Just went there for the first time and we were super impressed with how fast our food came out! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, normally places have way too much eggs in them but not here! Perfect! Great coffee too. Our waitress was super kind and cool as well!

We will definitely be coming back.

Edit: I forgot to mention, bring cash to pay and your meal will be cheaper!“

“Went there recently and had a smash burger and fries, Willow was kind and service was phenomenal!“

“I took my wife to hops and drops for a surprise birthday party and the service was the best I have ever had! I would like to thank ALL the staff that made her day so special, and a special thanks to our server Amanda!!! absolutely amazing people, drinks and food!! Highly recommend“

“The food here has always been great. I rated the atmosphere at 3 because of the neighborhood. Its not because of frugals.
Its just a depressing, dismal neighborhood, typical of the whole of Peirce County.
It wasn't always like this. It was once nice.“

“Dusty’s is great. The food is awesome and the staff are lovely… However, I am from out of town and I think I left my glasses there. I cannot get ahold of anyone on the phone or via FB. The phone number rings to a voicemail box that asks for a remote access code and no one has responded to my FB message. If someone sees this from Dusty’s please reach out. I’d like to know if my glasses are there.“

“You cannot beat tri-tip ground everyday fresh“

“I finally made it to Spanky's. I had a Bleu cheese double burger. It was the best burger I've had in awhile. The staff was polite and friendly. I will be back Thank You.“

“An unassuming store with delicious food!
We ordered the 2/3lb mushroom burger, onion rings and strawberry milkshake. The burger patties were juicy and well-seasoned. I loved the fresh veggies and fragrant mushrooms. Onion rings were freshly fried and didn’t leave a greasy feeling and the strawberry milkshake was creamy with nice strawberry chunks. The lady at the store was also warm and friendly. So happy with this find!“

“All Star Burger & Philly seriously has the BEST Philly I’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned, loaded with flavor, fresh ingredients & exactly what you want when you’re craving a legit cheesesteak. The burgers are incredible too, but that Pepper Philly absolutely stole the show. Friendly service, great portions & definitely worth going back for again and again“

“Best burger ever! I am not one to eat fast food. But I will go back for another burger!!“

“The Tacoma Brew is a staple in our home! ✌🏻“

“This is a gem of a restaurant! It's unique and fun to eat breakfast or lunch. We ate there today, and were very pleased with the food and the service!! I love everything about Little Jerry's, and recommend it highly!“

“Great music, drinks and food! This is one of our favorite venues.“

“Love this place. Classic burgers and shakes since 1959.“

“We went here on a whim. Thank goodness, because it was the BEST garden burger I’ve had in YEARS! Actually maybe over a decade? The lettuce was delicately folded, the tomato seasoned. The patty was delicious. And huge! The fries were so good, and so was the fry sauce. I am so happy we stopped in! My kids loved their burgers and shakes. I am so excited to finally find a place to eat a delicious garden burger! It’s been years since I’ve been excited about a restaurant. The service was also top notch (they clearly care deeply and are knowledgeable and friendly). The space is clean and tidy. I can’t wait to come back. I just wish we lived closer!“

“Fun place to check out. Really busy compared to the one in Olympia. I suggest the truffle fries, onion rings, and brussel sprouts. 1 person from the group ended up really liking the pb&j burger. I thought the club was good, just hard to eat because it was so big!“

“The BEST food in Washington. Honestly was not expecting it to be as good as it was, if I didn't currently live across the country from them I would be there for all my meals!“

“This was my birthday lunch today, and also my first visit after John and his son took ownership. I didn't think it was possible, but somehow the food is even better now. It's probably a good thing that I live thirty miles from this place.“

“It was my first time there, and I had a great time! The management and staff were awesome and welcomed me with open arms. The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Everyone was friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to anyone looking for a fun night out! 🫡🫶🏻“

“I've lived in this neighborhood for 32 years. I've been eating these hamburgers and drinking these milkshakes with a smile on my face ever since Bob opened the doors in 2013. I've never gotten a bad meal or shake.“

“It's a secret why I recommend them.“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“Well, it’s Friday night in Tacoma, which is about the time the week lets go of your collar and you realize you’ve survived another five days of God's green earth. The sun is setting over the Sound; the parking lot is filling up with folks who’ve decided that cooking supper is an optional hobby for another day.

I was sitting there at a high-top table with three of my coworkers—good people, salt of the earth, the kind of folks who know how to work hard and aren’t afraid to talk about it over a beer. We had ourselves a perch where we could swivel our heads just enough to keep one eye on the NFL game and the other on the Seattle Mariners, hoping against hope that tonight’s the night things finally break our way.

Now, some folks from out of town might look at a chain restaurant and think it’s all mass-produced and predictable, like a box of saltines from the bottom of the pantry. But those folks haven’t met Kamie.

Kamie was our waitress, and let me tell you, she is the sort of person who could walk into a church basement during an argument over the annual bazaar and leave everyone feeling like they’d just won a blue ribbon for their winter squash. She has that cheerful, unflappable grace you only find in people who possess bottomless patience and have spent a good long while dealing with the public. She carried our orders with the easy poise of a choir director stepping up to the piano, and she didn't bat an eye when four of us showed up looking for a good meal and a beverage after a long week on the docks.

I ordered the riblet meal—tender little morsels of pork bathed in sweet and spicey barbecue sauce that’s sweet with just enough heat to remind you you’re alive—alongside a cold, frosty draft of beer that had beads of condensation running down the glass like a cold morning on open water. The food was good, solid, honest nourishment that didn't put on airs.

But the service? Well, the service was, as they say, WOW! Kamie brought the plates out with a smile that could melt the frost off a windshield, kept our glasses from going empty while we hashed out the events of the work week, and made you feel like you were the only table in the whole place, even though the room was humming right along with the weekend crowd.

It was a fine Friday night in Tacoma, good company, good food, and a reminder that grace can show up just about anywhere—even under the amber glow of an Applebee's neon sign. Five stars, without a doubt.“

“best pizza in Tacoma hands down awesome atmosphere and stiff drinks“

“The food was excellent. The burger sliders were fabulous. Would definitely return. Service was fantastic. Love Griffin.“

“I just stopped in at Pit Stop Espresso, asked Rebecca to surprise me. Pumpkin spice 🎃 yummy 😋 thank you it’s delicious ❣️“

“We're DEFINITELY going to make it a HABIT!!! 1st time trying an our family 😍 it!“

“i had the dubai chocolate pancakes and they were fantastic! looked just like the picture too!“

“We got there about 2: 00 am. They're open until 3:00 am. Definitely the place if you got a late night craving.
Great place the the lady and gentleman at the front counter we're very friendly.
They were helpful when trying to decide what I wanted to eat. I order the sourdough cheese and bacon burger meal.
I paid they gave me a number I sat down at a table.
Had a little conversation with a friend I was with. It was a great atmosphere wasn't too loud. Food came in less than 10 minutes. It was very good at a reasonable price.“

“New Menu options are amazing. We tried a regular & gluten free cauliflower crusts. Both were excellent. Loved the choices or you can create your own pizza. We've recently tried barbicoa tacos and they are better than any we've had at area Mexican restaurants. Way to go RAM at trying new things! Service is always excellent. We love Amy!! She's the best.“

“5 guys already has an excellent way of showing that they are one of the kings at making burgers with their amazing way of preparing fries and using fresh ingredients. They never fail at great customer service and its so enjoyable to walk in any burger joint and always hear patties sizzling fresh. Their prices are definitely worth the flavor, specialy the burger size! Cajun fries always make the car smell amazing, I only wish they sold an air freshener for my car with that smell. I rather save some money and go to five guys than to spend it on cheaper mid burgers. Thank you for taking care of my taste buds, for that ... you are now family.“

“Cool little dive bar. I have been twice, once for trivia and another time it was karaoke. I didn't sing but a lot of people did and that was pretty fun. Trivia was a lot of fun too even though I came in last.🤷‍♀ Everyone was really nice, food was good, I don't drink so can't judge drinks but it was a cool spot, if go again.“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“I went to the pub today for the first time and I loved it the food was great, atmosphere was great, it has pool tables and pull tabs, and most of all the employees were amazing Bianca was awesome she told us about the food they had she was very kind and friendly. I definitely will go back“

“This restaurant has the best food! The owners are some of the nicest and hard working people you will ever meet too! I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try if you have not yet!“

“Love this place. Classic burgers and shakes since 1959.“

“I honestly can't understand how this place only has 3.9 stars. The customer service is a 20 out of 10. They have never messed up an order, the food is always fresh, and using the app makes everything quick and easy. Credit where credit is due—this location consistently does a great job, and the staff deserves recognition for their hard work and attention to detail. Keep it up!“

“Delicious burger and fries. Decent priced and friendly service.“

“Great atmosphere here, the 2 ladies there were very friendly and funny. I had the typical breakfast eggs, hash browns, bacon and a stack of pancakes topped with whipped cream and strawberries. My husband had a burger with tots. Food was your typical diner food. I also enjoyed the photos there. Will definitely be back!“

“Only the drive thru is open, which is fine. I never usually have issues at this fast food store, believe it or not. Food is usually fresh and hot. This is an A&W KFC combination so you get a choice of burgers or chicken. There were 6 cars in front of us and the line always moves quickly. I have never been "parked" at this store.“

“The food is on point here. Some of the best chicken fried steak I've had in a long time. Actually tasted like steak instead of beat up and just fried. Don't get me wrong. I love both styles and the gravy is where it's always at on these things.. was perfect. The bloody Mary's were decent for the strength and the flavor was good. Nothing amazing, but better than plenty you'll find around town. Definitely a much nicer place and service than you'd imagine and the execution on the food all up was way better than expected“

“They did a great job on Veterans day“
