Giant Drive In is a restaurant trying to get by on nostalgia. While the the restaurant is unique due to its throwback to the old drive ins, that’s all it has going for it. In fact, I would argue the place is in dire need of an upgrade. They have a cramped seating area with torn seats and old tables requiring repair. Speaking of, the place could use a tech revamp as it is a cash-only establishment. Also, the wolf decorations gotta go.
Food wise, this place underperformed. The “giant” burgers are alright. The toasted bun was nice but the sogginess of the veggies and condiments made it disintegrate rather quickly. The meat was none other than a 1/4 pound beef patties of the frozen variety and, while they are not bad, there is nothing special about them. Although you could order additional patties, they are definitely not as “giant” as I through they’d be, based on the name. On another note, the fries themselves were nice. However, don’t splurge on the “cheddar” fries. The cheese was bland, old nacho cheese. Definitely not worth the doubling in price.
Speaking of, prices were about average. The service was a bit below; it wouldn’t hurt them to be friendlier. Of the burger joints in the area, there are some that are worth your money. Giant Drive In is really not one of them.

Always a friendly place with personal touch. The burger today was the best I’ve had in a long time. I have been a customer for well over 30 years.
The place hasn’t changed much in that time span. That’s a “giant” thing!

Mediocre food with pretty terrible service. The staff obviously didn’t care if we ate there or not. No drink refills (you can’t even pay extra and get a refill, just absolutely no refills), mediocre burgers, good fries, off-brand ketchup that they are very hesitant to hand out enough packets. The atmosphere is cute, though!

Not bad for a great tasting burger. I tried the Hawaiian burger and was different but tasty. Establishment is clean and has friendly staff. They only take cash.

I remember going to Giant everyday throughout the 90s. At that time, I worked across the street at Albertsons in the produce department putting myself through grad school. Daily I would deliver over ripe bananas to Bill and Gale for free burgers, fries, and a shake! What a great memory! Bill was a stand up guy, who made you tote the line when ordering his burgers. Places like this are getting harder and harder to find in an age where everything is measured by shine and efficiency. Going to miss you guys!

That good old school burger on a sesame seed bun. It’s a great product, served by great owners.
Definitely worth trying.

Giant Burger has been here for 39 years! Since 1981! Always the nicest people and delicious BLACKBERRY milkshakes!! Keep supporting them as much as you can!

I was starving, and still didn’t finish the burger. Not because it was too big, but because the meat tasted like gray bland mystery meat. I think the only demographic who wouldn’t notice are heavy smoker and crusty old folks. The fries were sub-par but edible. The fresh banana milkshake was great. Because of the burger I would never come here again.
What was on point though, was the customer service. I couldn’t decide if I should give two stars for the food, or four for the customer service so I landed in the middle. Before I ate a bite, it was five stars though. Just sad that these old folk don’t seem to acknowledge these reviews… change your recipe, throw some seasoning on. This place has everything but the burgers going for it.

CASH ONLY. First time in here. Owners were friendly and the place overall is pretty old school. Burger was great it had all the fixings and was prepared fresh. However, I won’t give 5 stars because I know for sure those patties are frozen not fresh. Still a good burger and I would recommend it.

Great family owned specialty burgers, a local legend. Rated one of the two best burger joints in Oregon. Be sure to check out their seasonal fresh fruit milkshakes. Blue cheese burger uses real blue cheese. Real ingredients for real people, don’t confuse this with fast food. Don’t miss it if you are in the area, and even if you’re not, it’s worth the drive. There’s a reason it’s been here for over 20 years!
