Editorial by Citysearch

The Scene
Convenience and nostalgia piled on a bun and smothered in secret sauce. Baby-boomers bring their kids (and grandkids) to experience that car-service drive-in chain of yore that they've heard about, but probably thought expired in the Jurassic era. Sure, this version lacks the roller skates, but the window-mounted trays fit as well on the door of an SUV as they did on Grandpa's old Buick.

The Food
Burgers, fries and apple pies are all worth munching--as is the berry shake so thick a spoon stands up in it with ease. Crispy fries and batter-dipped thick-cut onion rings make dandy sides to grilled burgers (don't forget that thick slice of gooey American cheese). Non-carnivores can opt for veggie burgers and sweet tooths will be satisfied with a square slab of buttery apple pie, excellent with a generous serving of real vanilla ice cream.

The Inside Scoop

  1. Know Before You Go - University Village and Holman Road locations do not offer drive-in service.

Great on a rainy day when you don't want to leave the car

by Genise D.

I purchased the bacon burger. I love the curbside service. They are little pricey but worth every penny. Everyone should try Burgermaster at least once in their lives.

Burgermaster of Bellevue is fun for kids!

by Laurie C. | insider Insider | Rank: 32,474

Kind of a novelty to find an old fashioned drive up burger joint. My kids like it maybe not for the delicious burgers but just because it's different. The shakes are delicious!

A Destination Drive-In

by Erin R. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 1,549

If you are in the mood for tasty, fresh-tasting, drive-in fare, you will do no better than BurgerMaster. Their burgers are in several sizes and are juicy and piled high with toppings.

It is a fun atmosphere as well. My kids love the idea of eating in the car, and having food come to you.

They are busy at times, but we've always been able to find a parking spot, though we've had to wait a bit for our order.

They are a bit expensive, but the quality is great, and service is friendly.

We recommend the burgers and shakes.

great burger

by Weng K. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 1,949

Burgermaster serves really delicious burgers. The sauce is really good. I once order a chicken sandwich and I find it equally satisfying. In my opinion, their burgers are much better than pricier joints like Red Robin and others.

The drivein is a fun nostalgic thing for some people, but I never enjoy eating in the car anyway. So I often end up doing a small picnic nearby, or eat the burgers in my home.

The fries are really nothing special to write about though.

Its the concept

by Taffy T. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 5,808

Am I the only person on the planet that feels
rather silly driving up to Burgermaster, sitting
in my car eating a burger? Not sure what
the point is. I personally think its very
unprivate. Don't get me wrong, the burgers
are good, not exceptional, but good but
who wants my co-workers to eat all
over my seats?

Nostalgic for a burger visit the drive-in for gool 'ole fashion time

by Johnny K. | insider Insider | Rank: 13,767

If you're in the mood for a different experience and are craving burgers and shakes then a visit to the Burgermaster drive-in is the perfect joint.

It's a small menu but it's got something for everyone from classic burgers with cheese, to fish and chips to chicken strips and fries. It's even got a choice for the vegetarian eater. But the best are their milkshakes. They are thick enough for spoon to stand in. There are several different flavors so there is something for everyone.

Their prices are fair and inexpensive. The food is really good and worth coming back for. You can drive-in to eat or place an order for takeout. The burgers are big and filling and their fries are just as good as McDonald's if you like them thin cut.

As well their service is really good and even when they're busy they acknowledge your presence and take your order as soon as they can.

One of the best burgers in town.

by scottwb

The burgers are just so juicy and greasy. I love it. A burger is not meant to be dry and overcooked -- and you'll get none of that here. You can pretty much eat it without chewing.

Pros: Juicy, Greasy, Cheesy, Mmmm

Cons: Parking, Crowded at lunch time

decent burgers, bad service

by tomhall80

I am from Cal and grew up with IN-AND-OUT burgers (THE best in the world.) and was happy to find Burgermaster when I moved up here. BM is the best of the rest, not awesome but surely the best you can get in the Pacific NW.

BUT: Sometimes, the service is questionable at best, probably because of the temperatures, the waiters have to endure during winter months AND food quality is very inconsistent: every other time I go there (once-twice a week) fries are overdone or the burger is just a sloppy ugly something. Today (and thats the reason why I am writing) my burger came with onions and the meat!!! NO TOMATO, no nothing!!! OMG!

Up here, I would still recommend it to people who just cannot resist burgers but I also recommend improving management/service.

Pros: decent food at lowish price, easy access

Cons: inconsistent quality, occasionally impolite service

I forgot how good it was!

by westcoastgal

It had been almost a year since I had been to Burgermaster, but yesterday my husband and I had lunch there. It was a gorgeous spring day and the place was packed at lunch hour, but we found a spot!
The burgers were better than I remembered - substantial, juicy, loaded with tomato slices, pickles, cheese, onion, and sauce/mayo? I usually favor fat fries, but Burgermaster's thin, perfectly crisp fries were terrific and seasoned just enough.
I ordered the combo (burger, fries and drink) and it was more than I could finish - for around $6-$7. I will definitely have to go back sooner!

Pros: Great food, Service, Eat outdoors/car

Cons: Usually busy, Congested pkg lot

We love Burgermaster !

by patv123

One of the things my wife and I miss, since moving to Las Vegas, is Burgermaster ! We went there almost every month, at least once to enjoy the greatest burger in Washington ! Had been going there for burgers ever since high school. Others come and go, but Burgermaster survives...as well they should ! (Hey guys, ever think of opening a Burgermaster in Las Vegas ?) When we come back to Washington for vacation, it will definitely include a visit to Burgermaster.

Pros: Carhops, Great shakes, Great value

best on the eastside

by rpdulcinea

I don't think there is a bad thing on the menu from fish and chips to mouthwatering burgers, burgermaster hits the spot! Their shakes are wonderful and they are open late, so they are the perfect choice for late night munchies!

For those who have taste!

by freenrg

This is not some animal skin jerky meat filled into moldy bread gut bomb burger,served with stiffly oiled over salted pre-digested reconstituted potato food starch French fries..
This place is the best place to eat a burger in the world, and if you dont like burgers then try the optional turkey master, Wow! Greatest fries and shakes. The staff kicks!
People drive there from Federal Way, Renton, The Hill, Snohomish and Burien and many other places, passing thousands of other lesser quality joints because they actually enjoy eating where the food tastes good, the materials are quality, the price is reasonable, where everything is served fast and with a smile. Eat there! You will like it!

Pros: Taste, Service, Location

Cons: Addictive, Cant live there, Not open 24hrs

Mouth-watering original burgers

by windflowers43

Do you remember your very first hamberger experience? I do! I was about 11 years old and I will never forget that incredible experience. The mouth-watering fragrance of the perfectly grilled hamburger patty on that wonderful freshly toasted seseme seed bun with all the trimmings, a side of the best french fries that one could imagine and a freshly made milk shake. I had just found heaven on Earth and you can find it at the Burgermaster in Bellevue today. Amazing but true!

Pros: nostalgic, delicious, come as you are

Cons: expensive, sometimes noisy
