Since 1980... That's a pretty good stretch. They've always been a good spot to grab drive-in food. What I noticed, today, was a pretty old building, but kept in decent shape by the team. Wifey loves a Pork Tenderloin Sam when she can find it, and theirs was a pretty big patty. I grabbed one of their signature burgers, to go along with a silly order of Clam Strips on impulse, and the clams were as you'd imagine this far inland, haha. But leftovers got ate up by the aborigines at home, with no complaints. Nice to visit this joint, again. I bet they're doing what they do 50 years from now...

Seriously Kidding

Ron's keeps a nice clean establishment. They have clean public restrooms for customers. It hasn't changed since i was a child, other than the locks on the restroom doors, which is necessary today.

We ordered cheeseburgers, fries, and a shake.
A $6 cheeseburger that was absolutely dry, tiny, and worth maybe a couple bucks. We got a bucket of fries and they were so old! The shake had barely any flavor. What a disappointment and we were excited to have their food that we hadn't had in a long time.

Classic American burgers and more, and a Spokane Valley institution.

SO VIBEY! Ron's lobby as you currently can see it was built in 1979, and boy can you tell! If you appreciate the 70s/80s aesthetic that is reason enough to give Ron's a visit. The food was solid, nothing out of this world but certainly yummy. I had the fish and chips basket and while the fish pieces were a bit small, the fish was fresh, juicy, and flavorful. WONDERFUL tartar sauce as well. They did not skimp on the sauce and gave us 6 tartars no charge. The prices are what you'd expect for 2025 (so not great), but portions were overall good. In fact, the pail of fries they gave us was INSANE, probably two pails worth! There was diet Dr. Pepper in the fountain which you don't see often, that was appreciated. Friendly serivce, we were greeted upon arrival, food was prepared quickly, and we were wished well on our way out. Overall I would reccomend you try Ron's if you were already planning to go to a burger spot.

I bought a gift card. Didn’t get used for several years. They’ve now decided not to honor my previously purchased gift card. There was never an expiration date told or indicated on the card. What a great way to do business.

The shakes are totally awesome. The fries and the food were top notch.

Ice cream cone was made with spoiled milk and when we called they just said it was cause tomorrow is the day it’s supposed to be cleaned out. There was 3 separate hairs I found in my food as well.

Good menu mostly teenagers working that's always good for the community and Mom and Dad they're nice kids I usually have a cheeseburger with or without fries and a milkshake it's like six bucks for a cheeseburger wt bacon. The best part is you can order huge buckets of shrimp and chicken and french fries for like family get-togethers I would call a head for that type of order just to be courteous I like this spot

My wife and I came here for lunch and this is one of our favorite spots in the valley. The service was fine, the food not so much anymore. The fries were not hot and fresh and just basic under seasoned sour string fries. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought Ron's had better fries. Every single drink we tried from their fountain drink dispenser was flat. The real problem was that my wife's burger was cold to the point the cheese was barely melted like they used an old patty that had been sitting out for 30 minutes. We won't be back until they step up their game again. Highly don't recommend anymore. At least it was clean inside.

Been going there for 60 years ever since I was a kid with my Dad. The building use to be set up like Dicks in the old days. I still love the BigR burger. And the fried chicken is great. Oh and the tarter sauce is the best.

The cheese burger combo I had was horrible. The cheese burger had no cheese and was over cooked. It was like a hockey puck really super dry and hard to swallow. The fries were limp and not crispy. The milk shake was just OK. I definitely will never come back here. And I won't reccomend this fast food joint to anyone ever. Also we sat in a booth and we were quite cold. This place is not user friendly.
