If the food was good I'd leave a better review. But it's not. The burger was bland, and it's crazy expensive. The plain ol f100 burger is what I ordered and that was ten bucks, it was another seven dollars and change for the fries to go with it, so I stole some from my date. The fries weren't worth $7. A "regular" root beer was seven bucks and change. I tried to like it, because it's a great location, and kinda kitchy cool. Definitely a "drive in" kind of hot rod place, which was neat, but there's so much stuff inside it's a little overwhelming. There's two complete engines right as you walk in the door, a fireplace, and more pictures and chotchkies than I think a guy could look at. I might have ordered a rootbeer float, but they didn't have any ice cream. Oh well.

I love this place. True classic American drive in that is full of so much history and antiques. For two people it’s about 60$ which sounds expensive but you pay for huge amount, great quality and the experience it’s self in the

Great atmosphere and the server we had was great. Cash only so be aware. The root beer float was amazing. The burgers were just ok. Large and tasty bun but the patty was lacking and really small in comparison to the bun. Overall a bit pricey for what you get but a fun special occasion experience.

Had this place pinned in google maps for quite some time, finally was in this part of the area and stopped in.I ordered the root beer float, patty melt and garlic fries. Got my order and it was the regular fries, so I let a worker who walked past know and he said he’d go grab the right ones. Then he came back and asked me to put my patty melt on a separate plate so he could take the wrong fries. What? I never been to a restaurant that made me do that. Any time that has happened, they would either take the entire plate themselves and fix it in the kitchen, or just bring out the correct item. It just felt really unprofessional.When I got my correct fries finally, the girl who had originally taken the order just plopped them on my table, said sorry about that and walked off.Honestly, terrible service. Not to mention the prices are outrageous. Everything I ordered came to $43. In terms of the food, it just tasted greasy and the burger meat definitely was bland.Cool decorations, but it wasn’t worth the trip or money.

Awww, what a bummer. I've had this place on my saved list for a while. Today, I FINALLY had a chance to give into some much needed gluttony.I ordered the 58 Impala and a pineapple shake. I'd already reviewed the menu, so the price didn't surprise. I rolled in right before they opened, so I was the first one in. The server was very nice. Zero complaints on service or atmosphere.She brought out this marvelous looking shake. Can't lie, I was like a little kid giggling with anticipation. The ice cream was okay, but there was a bit more pineapple topping loaded in there. Probably should've picked a different flavor, and would if I ever return. Too much pineapple ice cream topping isn't actually a good thing, who knew (this guy now)? Sadly I tossed half in the trash when I left.The burger... wow this thing is a monster! No joke. The fries are a mix of different kinds. That's pretty cool too. And they're good. Back to the burger... Little too much bun for the patties. Pulled off about 25% cuz I'm not fond of a mouth full of bun (hamburger, that is). It tasted good (ish). The bacon was great, the sauce pretty good, but honestly it was rather boring. Maybe the size is the draw. The flavor is, well, meh. And for $35 bucks, it'd be a hard sell for me to repeat.Overall it's a cute place, with great staff, that charges a very premium price for a product that left me with a LOT to be desired. I LOVE little drive-in and dive burger places. My Google map is dotted with them all over the country. Unsaving this one sadly...

What a surprise to find this restaurant in Issaquah on my way to North Bend! It's such a fun decorated place! Full of memoriberis of 59s to 70s. It's before my time, but it's a fun place to at least stop by if you are on I-90 passing Issaqua m, WA!

This visit is like being catapulted into the past. The service staff were friendly and enjoyed interacting with people about this unique dining experience. I only had a rootbeer float ... (Please know the small is a lot ... because everything here is HUGE!) and it was delicious. I saw some bugers being served and the were the size of small dinner plates. (Pictured) Parking is available, and there are places and large tables to sit outside. The one piece of concern is that it is so jammed packed with memorabilia, signed dollars, etc, that I was worried about dust ... but again ... you can sit outside. This place and staff are delightful ... and you need to experience it at least once ... and it is a great place to bring visitors. Cash only!

We had never been & decided to try burgers & a Root Beer Float. The bun on the burgers are way too big, don't need that much bread on a burger! The burger actually upset my stomach during the night. They are not very good & pricey for what you get. The float was huge but tasty.
The burgers and sandwiches are simply way too large! I am 6 feet tall and over 200lbs and I don't want to eat this much in one sitting even.Expensive but portions are largeI got the crispy chicken and honestly it's just unmanageable. Hard to hold, hard to get your mouth around to eat. I feel like this might be their "schtick?" To make giant burgers. I didn't care for itI cut my sandwich in half and then decided to eat the chicken only and skip the bun The bun was so large the sandwich was 89% bread. See my picture.The fries are great but I don't eat potatoes much so I could not eat all of themThe chicken has some fatty tough stuff, and somewhat stringy.Another reviewer says it was cash only and he's right, you have to use the ATM. In 2023. I am docking a star for that alone.Place was packed, though

Cash only! Pricey, but you get a lot of food. It's a fun place to eat. Its packed with memorabilia.The root beer is really good and served in a frosted mug.I got The Toolbox which is a huge mix of things, chicken wings, chicken strips, fried mushrooms, onion rings, homemade potato chips and different types of fries. It's $27 but its a ton of stuff.Lots of free parking. Not a place for dogs.

I love hamburgers, and had them throughout Europe and the US, but this place is the best, for size and atmosphere. The whole cafe is decorated in 1950's memorabilia, from floor to ceiling. Yes, juzboxes, a bubblegum machine, clocks, photographs of musicians, cars, plus hundreds more. The place is like a museum. The service was friendly. The food tasty. Yes, the french fries were homemade, and my burger was bigger than my face. The Rootbeer floats here are in a 12 inch mug! Warning, don't have breakfast before you come. This is like, one meal for the whole day. Seriously, and I can eat down a truck driver. I did, ? but that is another story. Highly recommend. Burgers are around 18 dollars, mine was a double, and they all come with LOTS of homemade fries. Important, this cafe is cash only. Sorry, pictures were taken after I took a bite from my burger. Definitely returning and bringing friends. A+

They only take cash but there's a. ATM.This place has a fun atmosphere and the service is always on point. They make their own root beer and it's awesome! Vanilla malts are now a go to item for me.I will say the prices are a bit steep and you're charged around $4 dollars extra per item if you want to split food.I've never had issues finding parking.Parking: There's onsite parking located around the building.
