Been going here for 20 years. The whole family loves this place. Great employees, fast service, yummy eats, & reasonably priced! Highly recommended!! Walk up windows & drive thru only!

The best classic ice cream I've had so far in Oregon. Takes me back to my childhood with a classic chocolate and vanilla swirl cone. Haven't tried the actual food, but the ice cream is worth it for insanely cheap too. The line can get pretty long though and it sucks the drive thru is so short because it often spills into the road.

Business was cruising along at a brisk pace. Cheeseburger and fries were hot and delicious and promptly served by the fine young woman in the window. This is what we old timers refer to as Old-fashioned food and service. The folks working today deserve a raise for their fine, professional manner. I will be back.

Every delicious bite is filled with both nostalgia and flavor. Takes me back 35 years! Same great burger as always, and same delicious fries. Don't forget to try one of there tasty corn dogs as well!

Love it!! It reminds me of the homemade ice cream I did in the summers growing up in the south and you can't beat the prices!!

When did the food take such a bad turn? We ordered King burgers expecting to get a great hamburger. What we got was a thin patty of beef, a slice of cheese, two pickle slices, a thin slice of tomato, and bacon with light sauce. Gone is the lettuce. It reminded me a a McDonalds econo cheese burger. I always have gone here because they didn't sacrifice the quality. We'll, that made a quick change. Maybe the next owners will correct this big mistake.

Small hamburger joint with two drive up windows and a walk up window. Service was a bit slow but I'm sure that's because everything is made fresh

Been here several times lately and it's been great every time. (Maybe a tiny bit heavy on the mayo). The order of fries is quite large! It's fantastic. It's enough to save half and re-fry in the air fryer later! The shakes are THICK. So creamy and sweet. I see how it's stayed in business so long!
