Frisko Freeze - Tacoma

At the risk of making a hyperbolic claim, this may be the finest burger in the Pacific Northwest. Frisko Freeze has all the old school charm one could ask for with friendly service and a no frills menu. If you aren't intrigued by the iconic neon sign, then you will be forever enveloped by their fries. While the smash burger may be all the rage today, Frisko Freeze offers a classic burger that predates any hyped up thin patty sandwich that are oversaturated in today's market. Let the airy and soft bun soak up all the grease and fats from the meat and cheese, take a bite, and immerse yourself in this heavenly blessing. There may be no better opportunity to do so within a 500 mile radius. A trilogy could be written about the burger, the fries, and the shakes, but that would also require a sequel trilogy for their seafood offerings which I have not personally tried. The fries are perfect, no further comment. The shakes absolutely crush it too seasonal offerings are available, as well as some tried and true staples. The hot fudge milkshake is just as it sounds; a classic shake flavored with hot fudge, so simple you will wonder why you have never tried it before. This is a small restaurant serving a lot of customers, so you will likely have to wait your turn. The folks working the kitchen and register are polite and expedient, so it doesn't feel like a long wait. Besides, once your food arrives the only reflection you will have regarding time lapsed will be regret that you did not eat at Frisko Freeze yesterday too.

Solid greasy spoon burger joint. Nice kid working. Was good grubs after a long night of raving

Update: The double cheeseburgers I got today were not the same as all the previous times. Instead of a chopped lettuce relish dripping with juices burger — these burgers were sort of dry, with something of a barbecue flavor. My wife thought the same thing. I hope this is not an intentional change. End of update. My absolute favorite burger stand! Awesome burgers dripping with juices, onion rings almost perfect, almost every time.

While standing in line a guy told me he was from Everett but everytime he is in Tacoma he comes there. I said I grew up in Tacoma and most everytime I'm near here I stop in also.

Food was amazing! Highly recommend the triple burger with onion rings!
