Cute place! Nice outdoor seating area under the trees. Plenty of options to choose from. Tried the pastrami sandwich, the burger, and a lotus workout energy shot. Everything was really good. My preference would have been a little lighter on the cook time of the pastrami. The service was phenomenal. She was helpful, good with the up sale but not forceful. All the workers in the kitchen were friendly and professional. Great place! I’ll be here a few weeks ago this place will see me again for sure! If you live in or near Cle Elum and haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out. Especially if the weather is beautiful abs you don’t choose to sit outside.

Place is a total score, burgers and shakes were killer good and cheaper than McDonald’s too. $4 arrow burgers a crazy good deal in a time where the same burger easily goes for $16. My 2 boys loved it to – best corndog he has ever had

Red Arrow Drive In has become a must-stop for our family every time we head over the pass. It’s the perfect blend of classic drive-in vibes and consistently great food. The fries are always crispy and seasoned just right, and the shakes? Absolutely legit—thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. Whether it’s a quick lunch break or a full meal, we’ve never been disappointed.
The burgers are fresh and made to order, with generous portions that leave you full and happy. You can tell they put care into every meal. Even when they’re busy, the service is friendly and fast, and the staff always seems to be in a good mood. It makes the whole experience even better.
There’s a nostalgic charm to this spot that keeps us coming back—like stepping into a simpler time but with quality food that hits the mark. It’s also dog-friendly, which is a bonus for our travel crew.
If you’re passing through Cle Elum or just want an excuse for a road trip snack, Red Arrow is worth the stop. Local charm, great food, and a shake that rivals any big-name chain. Don’t drive by without trying it!

We decided to stop here while on our travels. It’s a cute area with lots of options of where to eat (inside, outside at a shaded picnic area or in your car) and they have open restrooms for people stopping. The place is cute and the food was pretty quick, we were the first people in that day and we stayed about an hour. The burgers are great, I LOVED the deep fried mushrooms and the kids ate chicken tenders in a meal, it was just the right amount of food because we didn’t have any left at the end!

We got the BLT and it was absolutely perfect ! The Texas toast was perfectly toasted and the bacon was crispy without being too crunchy!

What a little gem that we came across while traveling. We prefer to eat at non chain restaurants and happened upon the Red Arrow Drive In. The food was fresh and hot. We had a burger, corn dog and a Red Arrow dog. The staff was very friendly. It was very busy. Clearly many people love eating there!!! Definitely stop there if you’re in the area!

Excellent tasting burger but even better service and amazing staff. The fry sauce was some of the best I’ve ever had. The fries were a little to salty but had good crunch to them and the burger buns would be amazing if it toasted up. Overall a great drive in burger joint spot.

Second time being here and I love the burger and fries. Have no complaints about the food at all. Just weird that they didn’t have ice and ketchup stocked up knowing it was the Fourth of July weekend. The bathroom needed to be checked. Too many people using it and it was a mess.

What a great stop to break up a road trip! Fast service with indoor, outdoor, and drive through options. They have a bunch of picnic tables in a shady grassy area where dogs are welcome. Very tasty burgers and nice crispy fries. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, and ample parking. If we ever pass through Cle Elum again we’ll definitely eat here again.
