We stopped here on our drive from Seattle to the Goldendale observatory. From the online photos, it reminded us of our favorite local drive-in. We were wrong. It was way better! This is our new favorite burger joint (unfortunately, a 4 hour drive from home)! I had the Jim Dandy with fries and a peanut butter cup milkshake. My husband had a double deluxe bacon cheeseburger. His comment was on how good it was because it had REAL cheese! He also had fries and a cookies and cream milkshake. We both loved that they used real ice cream! Highly recommend.

Wow, a real gem of a drive in, Big Jim's serves up some fantastic burgers for hungry travelers. On all of my road trips I try to stop at the places that aren't franchises, since the food is almost always better in places like this, and Big Jim's is at the top of my list. A little pricey, but well worth the extra money for food that actually makes you feel good. Oh, and their real hard ice cream shakes are wonderful.

Obligatory stop when driving past The Dalles. Burger is okay; it's the tots and milkshakes that keep me coming back. And everyone that works there is always super nice. Bonus - they have a "small appetites" menu, which is really nice for those of us that like a smaller plate.

This place was quite busy when we stopped in and I can see why. The food and service were both really good. My wife had the Bacon, mushroom and Swiss burger. I had the Rodeo burger. Both were juicy, straight off the grill and a good size. We'll definitely be returning the next time we're in town.

First time I went to Big Jim's I had a burger the size of a toilet seat! Everything about it was good. The bacon was especially standout. Thick slices cooked to a perfect crispness without loosing the slightly chewy tooth. The mushroom Swiss burger is also excellent. Fried cod sandwich is big and crispy but the coleslaw was a little drippy. Still definitely recommend it. Fries are crisp and hot. Onion rings are also delicious. Have been back a couple times now and while I don't get the giant burger (it's just too much for anyone not named Kobayashi) I am always impressed with the food and the service.

I couldn't resist trying their Red, White, and Blue Burger, and it exceeded all expectations. The flavors blended together perfectly, and the burger was cooked to perfection. The curly fries were crispy and seasoned just right, making them the ideal side dish. And let's talk about their chocolate peanut butter espresso milkshake – it was nothing short of a dream! Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect sweet treat to complement my meal. The staff at Big Jim's were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. The atmosphere was comfortable, making it an excellent spot for a meal out. I highly recommend Big Jim's for their delicious food, great service, and welcoming ambiance. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu items! 🍔🍟🥤👌 Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Half Pounder

Classic American diner with great burgers you can customize. They have a bigger than normal side selection. I liked the fries as they had crispy coating. Just a wide menu. And they do ice cream both scooped and soft serve. It was great. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Great Burgers

Stopped by this restaurant for dessert and fries. The fries came out very crispy and the flavor was great. Love that you can also order fry sauce here. Ordered a one scoop old fashioned cone - chocolate chip mint with a waffle cone. They have Umpqua ice cream which is a brand that I really enjoy. The cone was chewy which wasn't my favorite. I would order ice cream here again but probably in a cup. Also ordered a banana split sundae and this was great. I recommend this restaurant and will return.

We were passing through town on our trip and saw great reviews for fish and chips so we stopped to get some. Bummed they were out of cod but we got shrimp and clams and they were great. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This is a must stop place for us when we take road trips. Their hamburgers are just the thing to hit the spot. Milkshakes too 👍🏽 Recently we went through with our dog on a hot day (110’) they didn’t even hesitate to make my pho a vanilla sundae with tillamook cheese on it! 🫶🏼 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
