A bit pricey but good food and service.
Mediocre. Food, not service, is Better than McDonald's. Young kids work there, so it seems to be a place they hang out rather than work hard. Even with adults working around them they would rather joke around than greet customers. Food is okay. I don't think the ice cream for shakes is anything other than water and powdered soft serve, not real cream tasting at any rate. The napkin holder on multiple tables was nasty dirty. The lemon juice in the small packets, which i like on my fries, was Brown... Not yellow. However, the fries were fresh and good. Tables were dirty not wiped clean. This was not during rush hour or lunch time. There were only two other groups of a couple people each that came in after me. The parking lot was empty and no one pulling out when i pulled in so as an ex restaurant employee you would think there would have been time to at least wipe the customer area down!
I used to stop here every time I came north on I-5 from points south, whether it be Battle Ground, Portland or Corvallis. On Thursday my wife and I were heading south and for the first time I stopped there heading south. Big mistake on our travel plan. It seems the restaurant has been bought by someone else. Gone are all the photos and posters on the walls associated with the town and the history of the restaurant. The service was weak. We waited for 20+ minutes for two burgers and two fries. The burgers I saw sitting on the counter for over 15 minutes while the fries were cooking. When we got our food the burgers tasted but were room temperature while the fries were so hot we had to wait to eat them. There was no apology for the slow service. Although while pacing and waiting for the food, I was "happy" to see the three members of the staff huddled in the back b.s.ing loud enough for everyone in the place to hear their stories. I won't be back. And this after probably eating there 25 times or so over the last 10 years.
The food itself was okay. It was an average burger, nothing special, seemed like it sat a minute before coming out as it wasn't hot anymore. The fries are thick crinkle cut, which I don't really love all that much but at least they were hot and seemed fresh. Also seemed like most of the employees were there for social hour. What I assumed to be the manager had to mention that there were customers in the place, several times, quite loudly, because of some of their behavior.
Easy access on and off I-5, good hamburgers and shakes, some made with seasonally ripe fruit. Not too expensive. Also have clam strips. Wish they had shoestring fries instead of crinkle cut. A bit of a wait for food (except shakes) even when they have few customers.
