BEST BURGERS opened for business in Lakewood in August 1990. Rick and Cathy Best founded the company in 1989 with their store in Port Orchard. Its quick success prompted the BEST BURGERS here in Lakewood and another BEST BURGERS in Mount Vernon, which opened in 1991. All the locations were owned and operated by family members. The Port Orchard and Mount Vernon BEST BURGERS were sold in the mid ‘90s with the Lakewood store being the only BEST BURGERS still serving the greater Tacoma area.
The same family has operated BEST BURGERS of Lakewood since 1990. Terry and Nancy Flajole along with their three sons have worked through the years to provide a family friendly fast-food alternative. The oldest son, Brian, worked his way through college working at the family business and now is manager, continuing the same emphasis of unsurpassed customer service and delicious, made to order food at a great value.
We are grateful for our dedicated employees and for our wonderful customers who continue to choose BEST BURGERS of Lakewood.
