    There are three reasons to come here: 1) fries and fry sauce 2) Lime rickey 3) cheese curds. Burgers are fine and so are other items but the fry sauce is definitely the star of the show. Miss having these in the Portland area.

    Fries( $3.79) and a 1/4 pound Mushroom Swiss Burger.($7.49).

    Arctic Circle is pretty good. The young people at the drive thru are friendly and helpful. It is one of those small town burger and ice cream joints. It originated in Utah I think so there is fry sauce, which the kid especially loves. We have had fish and chips, burgers, shakes, sundaes, a grilled chicken sandwich, cheese curds, onion rings, milkshakes,hot dogs,tater tots, mini tacos (we do not recommend these), and chicken strips. We have fed the boyfriend and other friends here. Because 19-23 year olds can eat. A lot. The kid has landed on the junior bacon cheeseburger as the favored order. I have liked my mushroom swiss burger the best overall. We may have been there a few times because we don't really do the usual drive thru suspects and there is no Burgerville. Last time we got milkshakes, and my peanut butter cup shake had huge pieces of the candy in it. Well, cool.

    A rare find! I haven't seen one of these in years. We were on our way home from Yachats and spotted this location. So cool. I remember going to one of these in Portland growing up. It's been many, many years. We used the drive-thru. The employee was patient and helpful. It took us a while to peruse the menu. We ended up getting the halibut sandwich, cheese curds, hot dog, and a vanilla malt shake. Everything was delicious! The halibut sandwich was surprisingly fresh and meaty. I would totally order it again. My husband really liked his hot dog. The frank itself was split in half lengthwise. He liked the mayo, mustard, relish, and onions on top. The cheese curds were cooked perfectly... not greasy at all. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by our fast food experience. We'll definitely stop in again the next time we're in Newport! Highly recommend.

    I ate the halibut so fast. I couldn't get a picture.

    This place is SUPER clean, amazing service and the food: shef's kiss. The halibut is the best I've ever had and I don't normally like fish!

    The mighty country chicken sandwich

    Behold the country chicken sandwich with cheddar cheese. (Which country is that, Russia? ). Worst. Chicken. Sandwich. Ever. I laughed, took some pictures, laughed some more and then threw it in the trash.

    Strawberry and Root beer!

    This review is for their dessert. * We drove thru for a much needed cool down. This place has been around for many years and I believe it's either the only location left in Oregon lor one of two left in Oregon. Ice cream is probably my favorite dessert. The twist cones are a hit! Decent size. Strawberry root beer seemed unique so I went it off my normal vanilla and I'm so glad I did! Every lick made my taste buds dance. Don't pass this place up for their ice cream! I'll be back for their burgers next time I'm in town. The sundae was also delish!

    Cheese curds with ranch

    Super Great employees very fast and friendly. Kid's meal was very big and tasty with ex white sauce on my burger and hot fresh fries. Cheese curds were good sized and hot had a ranch with them. Thanks from Hillsboro or.

    Was in a hurry between family obligations so decided to grab some fast food here as I wouldn't have an opportunity to eat again for awhile. Ordered a pastrami burger and a chocolate chip milkshake. I was given a number and had a seat in the dining area - my food was delivered within five minutes. The burger was medium-well and the pastrami was decent quality. The melty cheese and the fresh tomato, lettuce, etc. made it an above average fast food burger. The fries were good - crisp exterior and soft inside. The milkshake was fantastic. They offer a huge number of flavors. My vanilla shake with tiny chocolate chips was thick (they serve it with a spoon) and had a mind-blowing amount of chips. I took it with me and it quickly became straw-suckable in the day's heat. By the time I finished the shake there was a mound of chocolate chips in the bottom; a delicious surprise for a person with a sweet tooth.

    I would highly recommend this place. I had searched for Gluten Free and pet friendly on Yelp. We…read morehad a party of 8 (2 of which are celiac) plus a dog. This place was a great find! The fries are fresh pressed and are delicious. The burgers were great, added the sautéed onions and fry sauce. Try the cheesy meaty fries if you're GF, it's a nice change vs lettuce wrap to enjoy your burger. Everything here is gluten free other than the buns. We sat outside under the cover since we had the dog, they came out with our order and surprised our dog with a dog patty! He was so excited! We went back in and ordered him more of them. We frequent the coast and will definitely be back! Thank you Hwy 101 Burger for an all around great experience.

    Great burger, fries and milk shake...and very friendly service…read more My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary in Gleneden, and I came upon Hwy 191 Burger when driving south on 101. So when we left on Monday morning, we of course had to stop to try them out. Excellent burger...I had the 2 patties, but because I was driving I opted for no tomato due to messiness. The fries and the fry sauce were so good. And the milk shake, wow. Hand scooped and so flavorful. My wife had the fire fries and she loved them. They were too spicy hot for me, but she enjoyed them with ketchup. The service was incredible. She was so friendly and explained the menu excellently. We will definitely be back.

First off, their customer service is off the hook, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We ordered two drinks that were great. Making an attempt to be semi-healthy, we order two salads with roast chicken breast but also ordered onion rings and curly fries. The fries and onion rings came out first, they were delicious. The onion rings were perfect, just the right amount of batter and a great flavor. The crispy fries were also really good, I think my husband wanted more seasoning on them, but I thought it was fine. Then came the salads. Wow, they are huge. Not only that, they were made of the most fresh veggies and a great variety of them. The grilled chicken on top was excellent. Since we had somewhat filled up on fried stuff, I was able to eat just under half of the salad. But they do have to go boxes. I would recommend splitting a salad if there are two of you, especially if you have an appetizer. Near the end of the meal, a manager or owner was talking with all of the tables. He could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. If only all restaurants had staff this nice. We will be coming back!

We sat at the bar and were greeted by Angus and the owner. They were very friendly and personable and seemed like close friends with one another. There was also an option to buy an extra meal and add it to a board for someone who might need it at a later time. The food was delicious, gyro meat was tender and the fry sauce was very addicting. We then got a food recommendation to the next place we were stopping on the coast. We ended up going to that place twice. Would highly recommend this place not only for the food but the people and support to the community.
