Burgers

Give "Frisco Freeze" a try. They are located in Tacoma on 6th Ave just across from the hospital, Tacoma General. You can feel the arteries slamming shut with each bite but, they are definitly worth it.

When in Yakima, WA..............

There's a place on the outskirts of Yakima, WA called Miner's Drive-In. It's been in the Miner family for at least two, possibly three generations. Amazing burgers and shakes. They are made the old-fashioned way - one at a time- on a huge grill. YUMMY!!!

When high school teams travel to Yakima for games, it's not unsual to see two or three bus loads pull up to Miner's after the game to fuel up for the long trip home.

Aw, now guys, this thread just ain't right! I gotta watch my cholesterol and you bring up two of my favorite burger joints, AND tell me about another!

Haven't been to Miner's in years. Dicks is still going strong and has plenty of lines at lunch time. Now I'm heading to Tacoma to check out this other cholesterol factory, Frisco Freeze.

I haven't thought about that place in years... I'd forgotten it's name. I was on some of those busses you mentioned, way-back-when in my youth, and I concur on the burgers! Worth the drive.

Damn! I love that place. Used to go to school in Tacoma and would spend the weekends in Seattle and UW-always went to Dicks!!! Now I gotta go. Hell, right now I'd be happy with Jack in the Box, but not here.
