Great food, Great service! Food is cooked fresh, shakes are handmade with real fruit. It’s about $13 for a burger meal which we got a mushroom burger and bacon cheeseburger. Comes with fries, onion rings or chips. Shakes range from about $6-$9. The food quality is excellent, atmosphere is casual. No booth seating just chairs and tables. Self serve fountain pop machine. My favorite place for burgers and shakes.

Burger Express in Federal Way A Local Gem for Over 20 Years
We’ve been coming to Burger Express in Federal Way for over 20 years, and it’s still one of our favorite local spots. I started bringing my kids here when they were little for the kids meals, and now they’re grown and still love it just as much.
The French fries are simply the best crispy, hot, and perfectly salted. Honestly, no one else comes close. They’re worth the trip alone.
I recently discovered you can upgrade your burger to a massive six-inch bun for just $4 more. I tried it with the Char Burger and couldn’t believe the size absolutely huge and packed with flavor. It was hard to finish, but well worth it. My son goes for the California Burger, but I’m all about the Jalapeño Burger. Each one is made fresh and stacked with flavor.
All 1/4 lb. burgers come deluxe with mayo, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and their house sauce. You even get your choice of sides included for a great price $3.45 for small or $4.80 for large.
They’ve got a drive thru, which is convenient, but it can get busy during the day. Honestly, skip the line and head inside it’s faster and more comfortable.
Burger Express is one of those places that just gets it right great food, fair prices, and the kind of consistency that keeps you coming back for decades.

This is first time i’ve ever posted a review with pics. Burger Express is just fantastic. There’s no other burger place I’ve ever been to that I like better. Its been a long time since I’ve been there…this was the best burger I’ve ever eaten anywhere! They’ve got a full service staff that were all very courteous, Cashier at the front, cooks on the grill, and an expeditor that runs food to your table. All of their burgers are hand-pressed and cooked on a grill. In these pics is the Boz burger (1/2 lb with EVERYTHING) and my burger of choice..the “bro burger” (complete with a butterflied, grilled hotlink). Absolutely fantastic and my all time favorite. Their fries are all hand cut from fresh potatoes and their shakes…..so many choices and all hand blended. Stop staring at the pictures.. just get in there!

Great burgers that come with hand cut fries. Onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles are on the burgers. I had the mushroom, Swiss burger. It was cooked nicely and you can taste the char broil. I don’t usually like fries, but these were really good and hot.

I used to come here many many years ago. Amazing burgers – great prices.Fries are Meh – bit soft and soggy …fry sauce makes them better though.

My brother’s been here before and brought me in to try it out. My brother ordered the Western Burger with a Chili Fries side. I had the Bacon Cheese Burger, and both burgers came with fries. Plus, we asked for jalapeños to add to the burgers. We had Mexican Cokes, plus my brother craved a milkshake. Those burgers were so filling and delicious, every bite was juicy, and that char was perfect.

The decor is very cute a lot of old jukeboxes and vintage signs. Service was quick and friendly. My only thing was that I wish the fries were a little crispier but overall the food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the teriyaki burger, and the mozzarella sticks are so good.

It was my first time here, and it definitely stands out from typical chain burger places. The burger was really flavorful and delicious. I’d definitely come back again!

This place has very good food, the hamburgers are tasty and good size with a large portion of fries and fry sauce included.
I’ve tried a lot of burger places through Tacoma and will not mind the drive to get to burger express.
Only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 is:
The place is a bit run down, disorderly and not the cleanest place but you can see the quality of food looks up to par.
The staff is polite and very accommodating if needed.
Prices are good and options are good.
I recommend this place

I like the food, But this is the second time picking up food that our order has been off. We just got home and we’re missing a whole Boz after waiting an extra 10+ minutes over the quoted time when we called in. I tried calling 15 times to try and fix this before leaving this review but they turned the phone off the hook now so its just perpetually busy. It’s a solid burger, decent fries, just eat in as I feel I can’t trust accurate to go ordering anymore.
