Beautiful location and we were surprised there was no line at the order window. High school kids taking the order and they were very nice. Going to the waiting area, it was the opposite and a ton of people and an hour+ wait. Again really beautiful backdrop which made the wait bearable. Burgers were dry though and very under seasoned so not worth the wait at all. The onion rings were spectacular though. Better idea to buy your own ground meat and make your own burgers if you have access to a grill.

The food is pretty bland and there is not enough seasoning on the fries. The soda tastes like the machine hasnt been cleaned. Nonetheless, the employees have good costumer service.

This is definitely a greasy food stop. As long as you know that's what you're getting, it's totally worth it. Burgers were good, fries were delicious. Wait wasn't too long for how long the line was. There were tables to sit at outside some in the shade. And water was provided outside, which was great for a hot day.

Lakeview Drive-In is an absolute must-visit staple when you're in Lake Chelan! This spot has that perfect nostalgic charm mixed with unbeatable food and beautiful lake views. Every time we visit Chelan, a stop here is non-negotiable—it’s just that good.
The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and made just right every time. Whether you're going for a classic cheeseburger or loading it up with extras, you can’t go wrong. The fries are crispy and golden, and don’t even get me started on the famous fries with seasoning salt—they’re addictive! We also love their milkshakes—super creamy, with tons of flavor options, and the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.
The service is always quick and friendly, even when the line gets long (and yes, there’s usually a line—it’s popular for a reason!). The location is amazing too—you can enjoy your food while overlooking the lake, which just adds to the whole experience.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, Lakeview Drive-In never disappoints. It’s classic, comforting, and delicious. Do yourself a favor and make sure to stop here at least once during your visit—you’ll be craving it long after you leave!

We stood in line forever because their point of sale wasn’t working. They left several things off our order, and by the time we got the items, the food was cold. I don’t understand the hype about this place.

I grew up in Chelan and we always loved going to the drive-in. Sadly it is not what it used to be. We have experienced 45 min. wait times, missing items, and poor customer service all around. So sad.
