Unedible cold "Hawaiian/Teriyaki" burger. Where's the teryaki? Almost looks tobacco chew spit glob than Teriyaki. Del Taco cooks the crinkle cut fries better and they come with the meal. Fry/special sauce watery. Raspberry flavored corn syrup for tea. Noticeably irked at having to buy fries separately from burger. No customer service skills or communication from worker. In which she could have explained how it worked or offered combo meal. Just asked to pick my free drink. Now visibly confused at why I get a drink with my burger and not fries. Still no explanation. Wait for food notice menu has a combo option but no price. When food is ready ask cashier/server how much the combo is. To which she explains when you order fries you get drink as it turns into a combo meal. No info on menu about that just a bunch of hand written notes haphazardly placed that the price is just the burger. Very disappointed I like to stop at random drive ins as I like burgers and to try different places that I come across. I had a long day and hadn't had lunch and made a U-Turn to go here. Not hungry enough to eat but one bite of the burger. Not worth the U-Turn or the time to stop.

I’ve been living in the Puyallup area for several years now and have driven past this place countless times. While out and about, we decided to give it a try after having a hard time deciding what to eat for dinner(not uncommon). First off, great location right off Meridian and the freeway, plus it’s in front of the fair grounds. It is super easy to get to. The lady taking our order was nice and respectful, my wife and I both ordered the “Don Burger” I got the 1/2 pound while did the 1/4 pound, an order of the crinkle fry’s, and a fountain soda all for under $30. The burger was ok, I have had better and I have worse. The patties were a little on the dry side but other then it was just your regular cheese burger. The fry’s were great, they were hot so they were fresh. It was a nice a day so we sat out front and watched the cars drive by while we ate. Will we eat here again, probably since we try to support smaller ma and pa businesses. Will I crave it, probably not. But if you are looking for an easy place to get to right off the freeway(512), then I would recommend stopping by and grabbing a bite to eat.

If you are in the downtown puyallup area and are looking for a good place for a good burger then look no further. Don's drive-in is right across from the fairgrounds next to 711 and is a must go to place to eat. They have a good selection of burgers, seafood ( fish and chips), chicken strips and chicken burgers to choose from. I personally ordered the monster burger which was a 1/2lb bacon cheeseburger with the works and it was a very good burger that was made to order and everything was fresh. I enjoyed my burger with a large fry and a strawberry shake both of which were good as well. The frys were hot and crispy, just how frys should be. Now lets talk price. They did have to raise their prices due to the increase of food prices due to the pandemic so I ended up paying 40 bucks for two monster burger combos and a cheeseburger kids meal. This is not a cheap eat spot but the food is delicious and you get a good portion of food that is cooked fresh. I would say if you dont mind the prices then you must stop and try Don's drive-in. I give this a solid 5 out of 5 stars easy.
