The red head dude working the window is not friendly at all. Destroys the whole small town family friendly vibe. Luckily the food is good.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went there 3 years ago and vowed to never go back after seeing no gloves, water sloshing on the floor, kids throwing food and scratching their heads before touching food. But here I am trying to get some fish strips that took 20 min, no one even came to the window for 10 then said very little. $12 for bad service, food undercooked and dirty. Never again!!!

Classic old-fashioned drive-in with the burgers, fries, and milkshakes you would expect.

The Pilchuck is one of those rare finds. It's one of the small town restaurants with great food

Nice little spot with good American food staples. I had a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a coke. Old fashioned look and the food was great!

This used to be a 5 star restaurant for us. We live about an hour north of here and would make it part of our drive every Friday or Saturday when my husband had work in the Everett area. The fish and chips used to be outstanding. When we moved out of state a few years ago it was one of the things we would talk about...how great the fish and chips were and we would eat there more often when we moved back! And we did! Every week for the last 3 years or so. I don't know what is different about the fish and chips other than to say they are nothing like they used to be. Please do the fish the way you used to. We will not be driving out of our way and paying the 17 dollars each for the fish thats currently being sold, it was wonderful before and its just short of terrible now.

I've been eating burgers, fried mushrooms ? and drinking strawberry milkshakes from Pilchuck Drive-in for over 40 years. Now that I'm 50 years old, I have ZERO plan to ever quit. The point is (Old school Drive-In Food) is not easy to find this day and age. Pilchuck is and has always been the pinnacle of classic American fast food.
Parking: No on street parking. The drive-in parking lot is very small with possible challenges for some drivers if it's a particularly busy time. There are only 8-10 standard parking stalls in their lot, and there are sign posts and barrier posts to watch out for. They have a drive thru that actually moves pretty fast. It's also a small drive thru, able to only accommodate 4-6 vehicles at a time, depending on size. Best tip, other than park next door in Mcdaniels Do-it/ True Value parking lot is? Order yourself a Super Bacon Double Cheese Burger, deep-fried mushrooms, and a large strawberry milkshake, perfection!
Kid-friendliness: Great place to take the family very kid friendly and way better food at better value than all the national and global food chain brands
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, you can enjoy Pilchuck Drive-in if you need to use a wheelchair. Access is all flat and easy to navigate, especially if you park next door in the hardware store lot.

Pilchuck drive-in is a staple in our small town. An alternative to other fast food establishment. While the food is good, I think the pilchuck drive in is most popular for the variety of milkshakes they offer. Try the cheesecake shake. ?

Excellent food, burgers are fantastic! Love their onion rings and fried mushrooms. Has a 50's style diner to it, very retro! Customer service is super!! The only bad thing is parking. It's best to park behind it at the grocery store!
